Rick,
        What is the underlying view statement? I have found that there is an
object resolution difference between selecting individual columns and *. I'm
exploring exactly what happens, but the same issue can be found in
v$sort_usage, where there is a column USER (which is both a reserved word
and a function).

Hi All,

Oracle 8.1.6, WinNT

I have view  TIMEVIEW.  I can do select * from timeview with no errors. If
I select a individual column I get 904 error.
I am doing everything from the schema owner.
Any hints

SQLWKS> desc timeview
Column Name                    Null?    Type
------------------------------ -------- ----
NAS_IP_ADDRESS                 NOT NULL VARCHAR2(255)
CALLED_STATION_ID                       VARCHAR2(255)
CALLING_STATION_ID                      VARCHAR2(255)
ACCT_INPUT_OCTETS                       NUMBER(38)
ACCT_OUTPUT_OCTETS                      NUMBER(38)
USER_NAME                               VARCHAR2(255)
ST                                      NUMBER
MT                                      VARCHAR2(3)
SQLWKS> select mt from timeview;
select mt from timeview
               *
ORA-00904: invalid column name

Thanks
Rick
