I'm a little stumped. I'm using SQL*Plus 8.1.6.0.0 client to connect to an Oracle 8.0.5 database on a Windows NT server. I want to get the count of objects for each user, with a 0 count for users without any objects. But when i run the query, errors message ORA-24347 is returned. Why would that be?
When I run the query directly on the server, using a SQL*Plus 8.0.5 client, the query returns the expected data with no errors. Is there a bug in Metalink for this? I didn't find anything, but maybe my searching skills need some honing. Should I stick with older versions of the SQL*Plus client?
Results with 8.1.6 client to 8.0.5 database:
SQL> select count (*) from dba_users where username is null ;
COUNT(*)
----------
0
SQL> select count (*) from dba_objects where owner is null ;
COUNT(*)
----------
0
SQL> select count (*) from dba_objects where object_name is null ;
COUNT(*)

SQL> select a.username, count (object_name)
2 from dba_users a, dba_objects b
3 where a.username = b.owner (+)
4 group by a.username ;
ERROR:
ORA-24347: Warning of a NULL column in an aggregate function
