There is a contradiction below:

  5  WHERE sys_context('userenv','session_user') = a.REPORTS_LOGIN;

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?

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

put in the trim.
