RE: Why is this code not working?

Ummmm - cause one row cannot have both values in the same column???

How about changing it to:

select table_name, column_name
from dba_tab_columns
where
(column_name = 'REGISTRATION_NUMBER' or

 column_name = 'DOCUMENT_NUMBER')

or

where
(column_name in ('REGISTRATION_NUMBER','DOCUMENT_NUMBER')

Hope this helps

When I run this code both columns I get no rows returned. When I do a desc on one of the tables I see both columns. So, why am I not getting any data?

select table_name, column_name
from dba_tab_columns
where
(column_name = 'REGISTRATION_NUMBER' and
column_name = 'DOCUMENT_NUMBER')
