Rao, Change your select to
select "NAME" from messages; to fix this, you will either need to drop and recreate the table (without the quotes), or add the column NAME ( alter table messages add(name varchar2(n)) update messages set name = "NAME"; alter table messages drop column "NAME" good luck! Tom Mercadante Oracle Certified Professional -----Original Message----- Sent: Friday, February 28, 2003 1:40 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L I have a table - messages. I couldn't access one column in this table when I do Select name from messages; I get an error message - ORA-00904: invalid column name All the other columns I could select from this table. When I checked the table structure through OEM, I found this column has double quotes around it i.e., "NAME". All other columns do not have double quotes around their name. Question: How do I select this column from select statement? How do I correct this problem? Thanks for the help in advance.
