Oracle Data Pump imported table, some columns not selectable
Pregunta
Imported a table into Oracle 12g using data pump. Some of the columns, though present in the table as shown by describe, cannot be selected but they show up in select *.
Cannot select them individually or apply where clause on only these columns.
Solución
Let me guess: when you describe the table, you see lowercase letters in column names, meaning the column name is case-sensitive, but you tried to select it without double quotes, in a case-insensitive manner.
Try quotes as in the below example:
SQL> create table t1(column1 number, "column2" number);
Table created.
SQL> insert into t1 values (1, 1);
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> desc t1
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
COLUMN1 NUMBER
column2 NUMBER
SQL> select COLUMN1, column2 from t1;
select COLUMN1, column2 from t1
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00904: "COLUMN2": invalid identifier
SQL> select * from t1;
COLUMN1 column2
---------- ----------
1 1
SQL> select COLUMN1, "column2" from t1;
COLUMN1 column2
---------- ----------
1 1
