ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

Hi,

I got ” ORA-00942: table or view does not exist ” error in Oracle.

 

Details of error are as follows.

ORA-00942: table or view does not exist 

 

 

This error is related with the existing of table, check if the related table exists or not using the following script.

SELECT * FROM all_objects
WHERE object_type IN ('TABLE','VIEW')
AND object_name = 'OBJECT_NAME';

 

Mostly ORA-00942 error is seen because of incorrect spelling of the table or view name.

Sometimes you may get ORA-00942 error because of Using an unauthorized synonym or missing synonym name.  Check the synonym name using the following script.

SELECT * FROM DBA_SYNONYM
WHERE SYNONYM_NAME = 'SYNONYM_NAME';

 

Or You may don’t have proper permission or privilege for the related table or view.

 

Sometimes you may get ORA-00942 error because of the incorrect schema name. So check Schema name if it is correct or not.
