Re: BUG #5147: DBA can not access view

Hi Tom,

I agree with Hxli. It may be a good way to add permissions check when create the view.

I also find 2 pieces of words in the document about the owner of the object.

"By default, only the owner of an object can do anything with the object."

"....as the owner has all privileges by default."

In my case, as the view1 is already owned by user1, so user1 should has all privileges of view1, but user1 can not select from view1, I am very confused by these words. So it maybe necessary to check the user's permissions when he create the object.
