fish that table is for an Oracle definition, and not SQL server.
just creating the table is not enough, don't you need to insert some data into the table before querying it (otherwise there's no data found, right?)
application express connects to Oracle? it could be that the USER you are using can create objects, but maybe not under the user you navigate with via the GUI?
ie i might be granted to "PROD" but i create objects under a different user, say "Lowell", so browsing thru "PROD" tables shows me nothing?
