A good first place to check is that there are no other objects (synonym is a
frequent culprit).
try:
select object_name,object_type
from dba_objects
where object_name = 'APPLE';
This will tell you if there is anything else out there with the same name.

Greetings fellow-DBA-folk:
When I run several queries, I am getting very strange results.
Selecting * from apple returns the expected data records, but count(*)
does not.
Selecting anything other than * from apple says no records.
The subquery for pear works fine on it's own.
Selecting anything other than * from apple returns the expected records
when about 900+ values are placed literally in the subquery as shown in
example 4 below.
Am I missing something? Anyone have a direction for me to look for the
cause of this?
Thanks
Stephen
