CAUSE:
"The SELECT permission was denied" indicates that the user account accessing the database does not have SELECT permissions for the required table/object.

Alternatively, a user account having those permission may be used for warehouse access and this should be updated in the Developer (Database Instance > Database Connection > Database Login).
