Arup,
How about select * instead of select count... Maybe the data is there but something is wrong with sql*plus set up (numwidth) so that you don't see the count.
( I know that sounds stranger than the original question, but from the query you posted it looks like the count(*) is null which can't be...)

I wish it was - but that's not the case here.

Check if there are two taables named FACILTY in your database.

As SYS, check

SELECT OWNER, Object_name, Object_type
FROM DBA_OBJECTS
WHERE UPPER(OBJECT_NAME) = 'FACILITY' Note the use of upper(). Someone might have defined the table in lowercase using quotes.

CREATE TABLE FACILITY is not the same as CREATE TABLE "facility".
