RE: rowid added to the select cluase of a statement

The next step would be to take off the allegedly added "ROWID,"

and determine whether that is a legal statement.  

PS: It is a useful practice to include all the column table aliases in all references once you get beyond a single base object. (I claim it is good form to always fully decline column references, but there can be a simplicity argument against that being called a "useful practice." Once you get beyond a single object, I do claim it is more than good form, but then I always forced programmers who worked for me to put in all the parentheses in formulae once it got beyond just addition and subtraction, and even then if the bundling was meaningful.)  

Again, good luck. Camel hump code is a good starting point for MiscellAnus results.

Here is an example of one from the alert log. Rowid is ambiguous when run from sqlplus. This is being invoked from Oracle ODBC 12.2. Cannot get the before text because it is in a 3rd party application. The vendor states they are not coding the "rowid".  

PARSE ERROR: ospid=28700, error=918 for statement:

The before and after sql text might be useful as well as what interface submitted the sql.  

IF you can grab the sql text and submit it directly at the local command line, that might help discover or rule out where to focus investigation.  

Whether the objects referenced in the statement are tables or something complex, such as join views, might also be of interest.  

Good luck!

Subject: rowid added to the select cluase of a statement  

In Oracle 12.2, we are seeing parse warning messages. The sql shown includes rowid in the select which causes the sql to be invalid - column ambiguously defined. Google found the below entry from 2007.

Does this sound familiar to anyone and if so what is the fix?
