Hi Everyone,
Can some one tell why i don't have any problem to create a table with column name 'size' using Oracle EM Create Table menu and/or Table wizard but if i want to create the same table with the same column name using SQL*PLUS i get the ORA-00904: invalid column name ERROR.
Thanks for your help!
Mitra

Because EM is double-quoting the column name:
sql>create table t (size int);
create table t (size int)
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00904: invalid column name
sql>create table t ("SIZE" int);
Table created.
Even though the double-quote option allows the column, it is not a good idea to name any object with a reserved name.
