I think Oracle is not able to derive a datatype for those columns where you specify NULL...
and you are creating a table ...
Kind regards,

Any ideas on why this would error out? Is it the nulls?

create table tsteil.sub_duration_duration as ( select NULL provider, a.user_id, a.subscription_id, a.game_code, a.timestamp, to_number(decode(a.duration, '14D', 14, '02D', 2, '40D', 40,
