There is a contradiction below:

Produces some output.
Your original query does not return anything.
1 SELECT count(*) 2 FROM global.client_dim a 3* WHERE sys_context('userenv','session_user') = trim(a.REPORTS_LOGIN)
The obvious differences here are:
. TRIM function . probably when you've tried to launch the original query you had pofile functions enabled, when you tried it second time it was disabled. . query rewrite is used (could be, right?)
Could you please check the second and third items? -- Vladimir Begun The statements and opinions expressed here are my own and do not necessarily represent those of Oracle Corporation.

I may be barking up the wrong tree, but humour an old dba...
Could you try running the following and post the output?
select sys_context('userenv','session_user'), dump(sys_context('userenv','session_user')), a.reports_login, dump(a.reports_login) from global.client_dim a WHERE sys_context('userenv','session_user') = a.REPORTS_LOGIN;

...but we had a problem 2 weeks ago where the comparison only worked when
I
put in the trim.
