Query works in SQL Developer but not in a pass through query in Access

Question

I want to extract data from an Oracle 11g R2 database and import it in a table in Ms Access 2007.

I have a query that looks like :

SELECT * FROM aPublicSynonym 

on the Oracle db using a READONLY user and it works fine in Oracle SQL Developer.But when I execute it as a pass-through query in ms Access I get:

[Oracle][ODBC][Ora] Ora-00942: table/view does not exist(#942)

I use the same ODBC data source with both sql developer and access and when I query in access :

select sys_context( 'userenv', 'current_schema' ) from dual;

It works and returns the same user schema as in sql developer. Can someone give me a hint about why i don't seem to have the privilege to access the public synonym when connecting with Access? Thanks

Answer 1

I have the exact same issue. Query works fine in SQL developer but shows the same error

• [Oracle][ODBC][Ora] Ora-00942: table/view does not exist(#942)

when running using pass through Access. I'm explicitly mentioning all the schema for the tables and using same credentials. Also using all caps in the query.
