Sandesh,

This is a known bug (1335477) that allows you to rename a snapshot/materialized view, which you shouldn't be allowed to do. What you've got now is data dictionary corruption because not all of the data dictionary entries were changed when the snapshot was renamed.

You can try renaming the snapshot back to its original name, but I suspect you'll get an error that the object already exists.

Your only option, other than a PITR prior to when the snapshot was renamed, is probably to log a tar with support so they can walk you through correcting the data dictionary corruption. This is not something I'd advise trying on your own unless you can afford to lose this db.

HTH,
