Multi-schema DB Access

[courtney-arnold]

I am using TestContainers to test a legacy project that we maintain. In this legacy project, we have multiple schemas. The contents of the DB are populated by a test script.

createTable.sql

create user schemaA identified by test quota unlimited on users;

create table schemaA.tableA (
id number(19,0) not null,
name varchar2(255 char),
primary key (id));
-- 1 Spriden
insert into
schemaA.tableA
(id, name)
values
(1234, '54AB');
-- 2
insert into
schemaA.tableA
(id, name)
values
(2345, '12AB');

grant select on schemaA.tableA to schemaB;

The APP_USER is schemaB

I see the following in the container logs

grant select on schemaA.tableA to schemaB
*
ERROR at line 1:
user or role 'SCHEMAB' does not exist

How do I grant access to a schema table?

Hey @courtney-arnold,

Thanks a lot for using these images!

The reason is that by default the setup scripts connect to the Oracle Database instance XE directly while the APP_USER is created in the XEPDB1 pluggable database (which should be used by the application).

Add this line at the beginning of your setup.sql script:

alter session set container=xepdb1;

And make sure that your application connects to the database name XEPDB1 and you should be all set!

Thanks,

So helpful. This worked perfectly.

Thanks
