<p>According to  select name from system_privilege_map System has been granted:</p>

<pre><code>SELECT ANY TABLE
</code></pre>

<p>...and lots of other * ANY TABLES.</p>

<p>Plainly running</p>

<pre><code>select * from the_table;
select * from the_table;
</code></pre>

<p>...nets the given response:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>ERROR at line 1:
  ORA-00942: table or view does not exist</p>
</blockquote>

<p>I can log in as that user and run the same command just fine.</p>

<p>I'm running under the assumption I should be able to run queries (select in this case) agaisnt a general user's DB table. Is my assumption correct, and if so, how do I do it?</p>

If the_table is owned by user "some_user" then:
```
```
select * from some_user.the_table;
```
```
