ORA-01435

ORA-01435 user does not exist

What causes an ORA-01435 error?

This message is caused by any reference to a non-existent user. For example, it occurs if a SELECT, GRANT, or REVOKE statement specifies a username that does not exist. Only a GRANT CONNECT statement may specify a new username. All other GRANT and REVOKE statements must specify existing usernames. If specified in a SELECT statement, usernames must already exist.

How Xynomix can help

Specify only existing usernames in the SELECT, GRANT, or REVOKE statement or ask the database administrator to define the new username.
