Hi,

I have the message ORA-00942 when I add a condition to a report.
The condition is on one of the field displayed:
f_year >= TO_CHAR(TRUNC(SYSDATE),'YYYY')

The report is based on 2 folders, one is a view, the other one is a complex folder.

f_year is in the report (so it exists in the database)

What is the problem ?

Thanks for your answers

recheck for f_year.what are the tables being referenced in the report? post output of describe command for the tables used in the report and check in which table f_year is present.

The data from f_year is displayed in the report so the report access the table.

Report was written earlier.
Now you want to add another condition.
Doing so, you received the ORA-00942 error.

Did you connect to the database BEFORE applying changes?

Hi,

I don't fully understand the answer. the report was created before, yes. Before creating the condition, but the condition applies to a column already in the report (from the start), so the table does exist.

What I meant was: did you connect to the proper schema before applying changes to the report query? You know, when the Report Builder is opened, you open the report and connect to the database (by pressing <Ctrl> + J, for example) and enter username, its password and database.

So I asked: did you provide correct logon credentials?

Did you, for example, wrote the report as 'scott/tiger@ora8' and now want to change the report using 'mike/lion@ora9'? Doing so would end with an ORA-00942.
