Re: inline views & unions & other schemas; ora 9.2.0.6 bug?

well, halfway there...
  both the NO_MERGE and INLINE hints work, in that I do not get the ORA-03001 error anymore (when selecting from the other user) HOWEVER, there's no data coming back.... 0 records are retrieved (vs selecting from the owner where I am getting hundreds of records).    

  any other thoughts?
  thx much,
  cosmin

If you can associate the problem with particular views in certain cases, then you may be able to bypass the problem by referencing that view with a no_merge hint. This is likely to make the query run more slowly - but slow may be better than crashing.

select /*+ no_merge(viewx) */ ..
from
... , viewx, ....
where ...

You may even find that a global view will work in this context (though I haven't tried it) , e.g. viewQ includes viewA

select /*+ no_merge( viewQ.viewA) */ ..
from
... , viewQ, ....
where ...

hello all, I'm getting an ORA-03001 --"unimplemented feature" when I'm trying to select off a view based on other views (in turn based on other views... multiple levels, etc) containing UNIONS and INLINE VIEWS, in some pretty big ORA Apps modules.

I am **only** getting this error when querying from a different schema, and even then, it happens intermittently, on some instances, on some particular selects in a long UNION set.

I do not get the error when trying to select **from within** the owner's schema.
I've tried to reduce the problem to the simplest tables/queries but still cannot put my finger on the issue other than the fact that..the problem seems to go away if I do not use UNION to pull in more sets data.... however this is needed... I traced this to a Metalink article:

Subject: Ora-3001: "Unimplemented Feature" On Query Using "WITH" and FGAC Doc ID: Note:361345.1 Type: PROBLEM
Last Revision Date: 15-MAR-2006 Status: MODERATED

Has anyone seen anything like this before, ...how can this typically be circumvented?
(I have query_rewrite_enabled=true, etc)

my initial thought would be to create/populate some adhoc global temporary tables, do this preloading of a pretty huge ora apps summary beforehand.... or...fix this somehow (the part I'm interested).... or basically to turn
(simplistically speaking) a query such as
line1, 1,2,3,4,5,6 from dual (a horizontal layout) into a vertical one line1
1
2
3
4
5

in effect eliminating the current UNIONS which are causing me this current headache?

thx much,
Cosmin
