I have the following SQL-problem:

I only know the tablename and the number of columns of a certain table (e.g. 'supplies' with col-number = 3 ). I only want to fetch the values of the columns one and three (its only an example, i need a general solution!) of 'supplies'. To my knowledge, the following standart-sql-instruction (renaming of columnnames)  is correct:

SELECT R.c0, R.c2
FROM supplies R(c0, c1, c2)
WHERE R.c1 > 12.00;

The problem is now, ORACLE 'SqlPlus' (Version 7) doesn`t agree with me relating to correctness of the statement above!

Many thanks for relevant informations either for correction the statement above or completely different solutions for my problem!
