Can't see owned tables

  • All of a sudden*, users must qualify table names with the owner name to be able to see them, even for tables they own.

    We also have an application that assumes the tables owned by its user are there, and they suddenly are not found and the app won't work.

    So the question is, what would cause this behavior?

    (*Of course, "all of a sudden" = "someone did something we don't yet know about")

  • Sounds like someone changed a role or reassigned a role. Maybe even changed to Windows Authentication without doing the necessary work to keep privs.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

  • I'd recommend verify that that database is owned by the user you'd expect.
