help!ORA-01445: cannot select ROWID from a join view without a key-preserved table

[tracy]

when i run the statement:
SQL> select rowid from student_semester;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01445: cannot select ROWID from a join view without a
key-preserved table

student_semester is a view with the sql :
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW "ICEM_USER"."STUDENT_SEMESTER" ("STUD_ID",
"SEMESTER_STATUS_ID","SEMESTER_STATUS_YEAR",
"SEMESTER_STATUS_SEMESTER","SEMESTER_STATUS_PROGRA M",
"SEMESTER_STATUS_BRANCH","SEMESTER_STATUS_DESC ") AS
select
STUD_ID ,
SEMESTER_STATUS_ID ,
SEMESTER_STATUS_YEAR ,
SEMESTER_STATUS_SEMESTER ,
SEMESTER_STATUS_PROGRAM ,
SEMESTER_STATUS_BRANCH ,
SEMESTER_STATUS_DESC
from student_profile, semester_status
where stud_program = SEMESTER_STATUS_PROGRAM
Now, my users can't run query from a forms, which contains this
tables. Before yesterday, they able to do this.

Pls tell me what;s wrong and how to fix it.
TQ!

regards,
Tracy

Tracy,

My guess is that your view has been changed (or underlying tables),
your view is not updateable anymore. Post here full ddl for tables,
including pk constraints.

Tracy, what chaged between today and the day before yesterday when the
above query worked? Was Forms upgraded? Were either of the two
tables in the view modified? Was the view code replaced? Was index
maintenance ran on either of the base tables resulting in losing a PK
or UK definition?

Find what changed to find the cause of the problem.
