Mike,
Thanks for the tip, but I have already prefixed the owner for both
tables so that shouldn't be a problem. That did give me an idea for som
additional testing. When I made a smaller copy of the PEAR table, all
queries work correctly. This tells me there might be something "unique"
about the original table.
I'll be doing more testing. Stay tuned and I'll post updates as I make
new discoveries.
Thanks
Stephen

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.
HTH,
Mike

Please respond to
ORACLE-L
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
