Hi maryannyaz,

Welcome to the scripts. I'm sure you will find a wealth of information here. I will just move your post to a more appropriate forum. You will still be able to access it through the Introductions where you posted, but if you need further help, you can go directly to a technical forum, by selecting forums on the blue bar near the top of your screen.

Enjoy the scripts!

Hi
If you need to see the contents of a view give
Select * from <owner_name>.<view name>;

TRY THIS
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. select * from viewname ;
  2.  
if the object(view) is in your schema

else

qualify the object name by the schema name

like
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. select * from schemaname.objectname;
  2.

if u r still getting the error it might be because of some previlegde problem(if the objet in another schema)

but if the object is in your schema try to recompile the view .
This problem arrises if the source object (table/view) is invalid or altered and the view refers th the changed column.
