Amelia from the Idaho field office is reporting that she can't see some data she was expecting in the site's table right before she left without any more detail. You remember that perhaps she can't see some columns and decides to check for any column-level security that might be applied to the table via the system column privileges view, SVV_COLUMN_PRIVILEGES.
