Vladimir,

Thanks for your reply.
I have tested the cursor. It does not include any bind variables. There are no "broken rowids", as all objects passed analyze ... validate structure cascade.
I also tested the scenario you describe in your code below. The code does break with that error, however there are no inline views in my code.

. Enable SQL tracing
. Launch your code
. Identify (exactly) the cursor which fails

   with ORA-01410 and what bind vars are.

. Pull out the statement from your code
. Run it in 'standalone' mode
. If it fails identify rowids which look broken.

   Check the phys. entities those rowids point out.    Are those phys. entities Ok?
. Any access BY ROWID in your statement is a potential

   problem.
. You might want to dump error stack too but I suggest

   to contact oracle support first.

Try to make a test case as simple as possible, it definitely would help.

There is a simple scenario, may be it can give you some ideas (index_s is a simplified index simulator):

DROP TABLE index_s;
DROP TABLE tbl;
CREATE TABLE index_s (

   rid                              ROWID

);
CREATE TABLE tbl (

   p                                NUMBER

);
INSERT INTO tbl VALUES(1);
INSERT INTO index_s SELECT ROWID FROM tbl; SELECT *
   FROM tbl
  WHERE rowid = (

          SELECT rid
            FROM index_s
        );

DROP TABLE tbl;
CREATE TABLE tbl (

   p                                NUMBER

);
INSERT INTO tbl VALUES(1);
COMMIT;
SELECT *
   FROM tbl
  WHERE rowid = (

          SELECT rid
            FROM index_s
        );

• However this works well: SELECT * FROM tbl , index_s WHERE tbl.rowid = index_s.rid / -- Vladimir Begun The statements and opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily represent those of Oracle Corporation.
