Babu "MacGregor, Ian A." @fatcity.com on 08/05/2002 12:13:24 PM Please respond to ORACLE-L@fatcity.com Sent by: root@fatcity.com To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L cc: I read the note before I sent the first mail. The note is of no assistance. The trouble is that that the prebuilt table does not match the definition query or at least the queries I've formulated. I tried casting, and using a format with to_number neither worked. No matter how I manipulate a number Oracle returns it as a number without an explicit precision or scale; hence the error.

However this results in, "ORA-12060: shape of prebuilt table does not match definition query." Note:71943.1 Action: Reissue the SQL command using BUILD IMMEDIATE, BUILD DEFERRED, or ensure that the prebuilt table matches the snapshot definition query. =============================================================== Ray Stell stellr@vt.edu (540) 231-4109 KE4TJC 28^D -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Ray Stell INET: stellr@cns.vt.edu Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: ListGuru@fatcity.com (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
