I am working in an Oracle 10.2.0.4 database with ArcSDE 9.3.1 SP1. I am working on creating a cross schema spatial view, or a view created from tabular data from one schema combined with spatial data from another schema. I have been successful with my view creation, but I had a question about the grant option required. Is the grant option required by Oracle or SDE?
GRANT OPTION is a SQL standard thing, required by Oracle. It is necessary when a non-owner attempts to grant other users access to a table with a view. See the Oracle docs for more info. - V
