ORA-01031 Error When Loading Table Data into Another Schema (Doc ID 3029371.1)

Last updated on JUNE 19, 2024

Applies to:

Oracle SQL Developer Web - Version 23.4 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

When importing data into a new table owned by a different schema than the login user, creation of error table(SDW$ERR$_{TABLE_NAME}) fails with ORA-01031.
The problem occurs only on the first run. If the error table already exists, the write to the error table will succeed.
Error:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

Faild to create error logging table {SCHEMA_NAME}.SDW$ERR$_{TABLE_NAME}

Steps:

1. Create a user to perform the import operation and grant permissions as follows:

create user UserA identified by password;
grant resource, connect, dwrole to UserA;
grant create any table to UserA;
grant select any table to UserA;
grant insert any table to UserA;
grant update any table to UserA;
grant unlimited tablespace to UserA;

Then enable Web Access to UserA.

2. Log in to Database Actions using the user account created in the above step.

3. Move to Deveopment > SQL, then select a schema that is not the login user, assuming it is UserB here.

4. Create a new table in UserB schema.

create table UserB.testtab
(col1 number, col2 varchar2(10));

5. On Navigator pane, right click on {TABLE_NAME} then select "Data Loading" > Upload Data.

6. Here we want to generate an import error, so we upload a CSV that contains inappropriate data.

For example;

[test.csv]
COL1,COL2
a,b

As above, the import data is not appropriate, a table named SDW$ERR$_{TABLE_NAME} would normally be created to store the error contents, however ORA-01031 error is actually generated and no data is stored in the error table.
