Oracle 19c PL/SQL Dynamic SQL Privilege Error ORA-01031, Seeking Troubleshooting Advice

naproxy naproxyDec 24 2025 — edited Dec 24 2025

Hello everyone! I'm encountering a privilege issue when using dynamic SQL in Oracle 19c and need some guidance.

I wrote a PL/SQL stored procedure that uses `EXECUTE IMMEDIATE` to query a table (e.g., `SELECT col1 FROM schemaA.tableX`). The user executing the stored procedure has SELECT privileges on `schemaA.tableX` (verified via `GRANT SELECT ON schemaA.tableX TO myUser;`), but running the stored procedure throws an ORA-01031 error: insufficient privileges.

I've already tried:

Rechecking table privileges (the user can query the table directly outside the stored procedure)

Ensuring the dynamic SQL syntax is correct (no spelling errors in the schema/table name)

Granting the user `CREATE SESSION` and `CREATE PROCEDURE` privileges

Does executing dynamic SQL in PL/SQL require specific privileges? Alternatively, does the process require additional permissions (such as EXECUTE ANY PROCEDURE)? Any tips on debugging permission chains would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your help!
