MariaDB Error 1345: Insufficient Privileges for View Explanation
Description
This error occurs when a user attempts to execute an `EXPLAIN` or `SHOW` command on a MariaDB view but lacks the necessary `SELECT` privileges on one or more of the underlying tables that compose that view. MariaDB requires access to the definitions and data of these base tables to provide a complete explanation or show the view's structure.
Error Message
EXPLAIN/SHOW can not be issued; lacking privileges for underlying table
Known Causes
4 known causesMissing SELECT Privilege
The user or role attempting the `EXPLAIN` or `SHOW` command does not have the `SELECT` privilege on all tables referenced by the view.
Role-Based Access Control Issue
If privileges are managed via roles, the assigned role might not include `SELECT` on all underlying tables, or the role might not be active for the current session.
Revoked Privileges
Privileges that were previously granted to the user or role on the underlying tables have since been revoked, leading to a privilege deficit.
Cross-Database Privilege Gap
The view references tables located in a different database or schema where the user lacks `SELECT` privileges, even if they have access to the view's own database.
