There could be 2 possible reasons.

1. The user does not have create table previliges.
2. The user does not have select previleges on the emp table.

Hi,

EMP table has been created in SCOTT user.
I am able to create and select tables in that user.So that user has create table privileges and select privileges.

Is there any other problem?

Thanks,
Dilip

Log in through the sys user and grant CREATE TABLE previleges to scott user or ask your DBA to do the same for you.

It should work for you.

I can't figure out any other problem

Please try the above and do post back.
