Andrea,

>From Metalink, the column is defined in uppercase:

select online from v$recover_file

*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00936: missing expression

SQL> select "ONLINE" from v$recover_file;

no rows selected

Also, online is a reserved word and that is why you originally get the ora-00936 error:

SQL> select * from v$reserved_words where keyword ='ONLINE';

KEYWORD                                                              LENGTH

All, I got a problem with v$recover_file. Somehow the query failed if selecting is on ONLINE column.

SQL> desc v$recover_file;

 Name                          Null?    Type
 ----------------------------- --------
---------------
 FILE#                                  NUMBER
 ONLINE                                 VARCHAR2(7)
 ERROR                                  VARCHAR2(18)
 CHANGE#                                NUMBER
 TIME                                   DATE

These are OK:

select CHANGE# from v$recover_file;
select TIME from v$recover_file;
select * from v$recover_file;

However these gave me error:

select ONLINE from v$recover_file;
select online, ERROR from v$recover_file; select FILE# , ONLINE,ERROR , CHANGE#,TIME from v$recover_file;

*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00936: missing expression

SQL> select v.name, b.online
2 from v$datafile v, v$recover_file b 3 where v.file# = b.file#;
select v.name, b.online

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01747: invalid user.table.column, table.column, or column specification

What's happening?! Thank you.

Andrea
