SAP Note 731 - Collective note: ORA-00904

Component : Oracle -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/731 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
An ORA-00904 error is encountered when an invalid column is specified in an SQL statement. For Oracle versions 9.2 and higher, the erroneous column's name is included in the error message. To identify the problematic table and column, review the SQL statement in trace files (ST11), short dumps (ST22), or the syslog (SM21). Activate error stacks using “ALTER SYSTEM SET EVENTS='904 trace name errorstack level 1'” to aid in debugging. Possible causes include SAP bugs, inconsistencies between R/3-DDIC and Oracle DDIC, incorrect SQL statements, or issues during upgrades. Solutions vary from fixing inconsistencies with SE11 to implementing specific SAP Notes or Oracle scripts.
