Solution

  • This simply means that you are trying to execute a statement that you don't have the privileges for.

    For example, you might be trying to SELECT * FROM foo;, but foo is a view or a table created by another user, who did not bother to grant SELECT on foo to your user.

    Unless the owner of the table - or an administrator - grants you SELECT on table foo, you will remain stuck.
