SQL> select sys_context('userenv','session_user'),   2 dump(sys_context('userenv','session_user')), a.reports_login,   3 dump(a.reports_login)
  4 from global.client_dim a
  5 WHERE sys_context('userenv','session_user') = trim(a.REPORTS_LOGIN);

SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','SESSION_USER')




DUMP(SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','SESSION_USER'))


REPORTS_LOGIN

DUMP(A.REPORTS_LOGIN)


REPORTS_DELTA
Typ=1 Len=13: 82,69,80,79,82,84,83,95,68,69,76,84,65 REPORTS_DELTA
Typ=1 Len=13: 82,69,80,79,82,84,83,95,68,69,76,84,65

And

  1 SELECT count(*)

  2           FROM global.client_dim a
  3*         WHERE sys_context('userenv','session_user') =
trim(a.REPORTS_LOGIN)
SQL> /   COUNT(*)

         0

I'm going to open a tar on this.
I will email the resolution. ...and check for any more suggestions! :)

There is a contradiction below:

Produces some output.

Your original query does not return anything.

   1 SELECT count(*)

   2      FROM global.client_dim a
   3*     WHERE sys_context('userenv','session_user') =
trim(a.REPORTS_LOGIN)

The obvious differences here are:

. TRIM function
. probably when you've tried to launch the original query you had pofile functions enabled, when you tried it second time it was disabled. . query rewrite is used (could be, right?)

Could you please check the second and third items?
