Oracle Error ORA-28116: insufficient privileges to do direct path access

Oracle Error Message

ORA-28116: insufficient privileges to do direct path access

Reason for the Error

Users with insufficient privileges attempting to do direct path access of tables with fine grain access control policies.

Solution

Ask the database administrator to do the operation. Note that users can work with security administrator to temporarily drop/disable the policies at time of export, import, or load, but this has security implication, and thus access of the database must be controlled carefully.
