You can flush shared pool, optionally, then enable SQL tracing and CBO
tracing and check the trace file, anyway you will be asked to do that
when you open a tar. What Oracle version do you use?

What's the object you're referencing in your query -- global.client_dim?
Is it a [partitioned] table, [m]view or synonym for some other object?

And


  1  SELECT count(*)
  2           FROM global.client_dim a
  3*         WHERE sys_context('userenv','session_user') =
trim(a.REPORTS_LOGIN)

  COUNT(*)

         0


I'm going to open a tar on this. I will email the resolution. ...and check for any more suggestions! :)

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?
