ORA-00942: Can select from “schema.table” but not “table”?

Question

I experienced an ORA-00942 (\"table or view does not exist\") when executing

select * from brunch

However, no such problem when executing

Answer 1

I found that the table I was referencing (Flyway's schema_version table), was created with double quotes... and thus needed double quotes wherever it was referenced.

Here's what Oracle says:

A quoted identifier begins and ends with double quotation marks ("). If you name a schema object using a quoted identifier, then you must use the double quotation marks whenever you refer to that object.

In practice, these worked:

SELECT * FROM MYSCHEMA."schema_version";
SELECT * FROM "MYSCHEMA"."schema_version";

When this didn't (-> ORA-00942: table or view does not exist):

SELECT * FROM MYSCHEMA.schema_version;
