Mladen,
Sorry to have to say that, but you need to give a look to your beloved
manuals yourself. There is a difference between the current user, who
determines what to you are allowed to do (although that in some old
Oracle 7 version ... but I am erring) and the current schema, ie
basically who is the default owner of the objects you reference when you
don 't specify this owner name explicitly. By default, the current schema
IS the current user. But afterwards they can live independent lives.
Jacques ' was the correct answer.
