ORA-00942: table or view does not exist : How do I find which table or view it is talking about


We're running a java/hibernate app going against ORACLE 10g in TESTING. Once in a while, we're seeing this error:

ORA-00942: table or view does not exist

Is there a way to find out which table/view(s) ORACLE is talking about ?

I know that I can add extra levels of logging in hibernate which will show all the SQL that it executes on ORACLE and then run that SQL to figure out which TABLE/VIEW is missing or missing permission. But given that it is in TESTING/STAGING, that will slow down performance.

Is there a simple way to narrow down on the Table/View Name ?

UPDATE :

Just so you know, I don't have control over the Oracle DB Server Environment.
I enabled Hibernate tracing/logging and found a VALID SQL. I even put Wireshark(which is a TCP packet filter) to see what hibernate actually sends and that was a valid SQL. So, why would Oracle complain about it once in a while and NOT always.


Solution

  • Take a look into the DBA_AUDIT_EXISTS table, when auditing is turned on for Oracle. I believe that Oracle can provide very detailed auditing which you can simply toggle on and off when you like via DB commands, although I dont remember what they are off the top of my head.

    See: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/network.102/b14266/cfgaudit.htm

    for some idea (which I just quickly googled for)
