Various places I've read that views are good because you can provide filtered data rather than access to the base data tables.  But if the user does not have select privileges for the base table, how can they be effectively granted for the view based on that table.   In this case, I do not want the user to see all the data - just a subset.  Is there someway I can grant select for the view but do not grant select for the base table?  The result is ORA-01031: insufficient privileges when the user tries to run the view when they do not have select granted on the base.  But when I grant select to that user on the base table then the view will work for them.

Rick, it is very common to grant select on a view but not on the underlying table(s). Is the view owned by the same user as the base table?

Todd, I have the view owner as different than the base table owner mostly for organizational reasons. Should it be the same owner? Thanks.
