title: v$Instance permission errors
body: <p>I wanted to create a view that looked something like the following but i keep getting an ORA-01031 - insufficient permission error</p>
  
  <pre><code>create view v_dbinfo as
  Select INSTANCE_NAME,HOST_NAME from v$instance;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can select from v$instance, and create a view from an existing table without any problems.
  Any idea on why this is occurring and how i can go about fixing it?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
