Select Query without Tablespace reference

HI

In TOAD when I write

SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEES

I get error "table or view does not exist". But when I write

SELECT 开发者_如何学Go* FROM DEP.EMPLOYEES

it works fine. how do I query a table without referencing the tablespace. i know it is definitely possible but I cannot find how.

Assuming you are using Oracle, you can alter the session this way: ALTER SESSION SET CURRENT SCHEMA = DEP

For DB2: SET SCHEMA='DEP'
