Unable to retreive the schema info of the table I created.

I have access to a HANA trial system. I have been able to create some tables in a particular schema through ODBC. Now, when I try to get the metadata of the table that was created, it gives me insufficient privilege error. The table was created by the same user. I am trying to run the following query -

SELECT SCHEMA_NAME, TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, POSITION

FROM    SYS.COLUMNS

WHERE SCHEMA_NAME = 'schema_name' AND TABLE_NAME = 'table_name'

ORDER BY POSITION;

I am not sure how to give permissions to read the schema information of the table I only created.

Thanks for any help.
