Cause: Either:

The schema authorization identifier is not recognized.
An attempt was made to use a schema authorization identifier for a user while not connected as that user.

Action: Check that the schema names match the one given in the CREATE SCHEMA statement.

ORA-02424: potential circular view references or unknown referenced tables

Cause: The CREATE SCHEMA statement contains a view that depends on other views contained in the CREATE SCHEMA statement, or they contain references to non-existing tables.
