Cause: invalid or illegal combination of options provided to COMMIT WRITE SQL statement.

Cause: invalid or illegal value provided for parameter.

Cause: An attempt was made to create an index that refers to the ORA_ROWSCN pseudo-column, either directly or in an expression.

Cause: An attempt was made to drop an index defined on a hash cluster. Hash cluster indexes cannot be dropped.

Cause: An Advanced Compression Option (ACO) feature was specified without enabling the ACO parameter.

Cause: SECUREFILE and BASICFILE were both specified.

Cause: A LOB that is not a SECUREFILE was used in a SQL statement or in a call where a SECUREFILE LOB was expected.

Cause: Attempt to modify a LOB with an invalid parameter.

Cause: Length of CONTENTTYPE string exceeded the defined maximum.

Cause: Length of CONTENTTYPE buffer less than defined constant.

Cause: An 11.2 LOB feature was specified when the database was operating at a compatible setting lower than "11.2.0".

Cause: Invalid delta update operation was issued on LOB. This includes operation beyond LOB length; move operation with destination offset inside move interval.

Cause: An attempt was made to provide an argument that was not a literal or bind variable.

Cause: An invalid output data type was provided. The valid output data types for VALIDATE_CONVERSION operator and the operators supporting DEFAULT ON CONVERSION ERROR syntax are: NUMBER, BINARY_FLOAT, BINARY_DOUBLE, DATE, TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND, INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH.

Cause: An invalid input data type was provided for Validate_Conversion operator. For the NUMBER, BINARY_FLOAT and BINARY_DOUBLE output data types, the input data types can be: - NUMBER - BINARY_FLOAT - BINARY_DOUBLE - CHAR - VARCHAR2 - NCHAR - NVARCHAR2 For the DATE, TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND, and INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH output data types, the input data types can be: - CHAR - VARCHAR2 - NCHAR - NVARCHAR2

Cause: Precision was provided for the following data types: NUMBER, TIMESTAMP, TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE, INTERVAL YEAR TO MONTH, INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND.

Cause: COLLATE was specified for a non-character column.

Cause: A character LOB column or expression was declared as having a collation other than USING_NLS_COMP or the determined collation for a collation-sensitive operator or function operating on character LOB values was not USING_NLS_COMP. Character LOB values support only the USING_NLS_COMP collation.

Cause: Arguments to the operator or function (operation) that have the lowest coercibility level and are relevant for derivation of the collation for the result of this operation had conflicting collations.

Cause: Arguments to the operator, function, or condition (operation) that are relevant for determining the collation to be used by this operation had undefined collations.

Cause: Arguments to the operator, function, or condition (operation) that have the lowest coercibility level and are relevant for determining the collation to be used by this operation had different collations.

Cause: An attempt was made to create a virtual character column in a table, a character column in a table based on a query (CREATE TABLE AS SELECT), or a character column in the key of a functional index. The expression on which the column definition was based did not have a derived collation to be used for the column, because of a collation conflict in one of its operators. In case of a virtual column, no collation was provided for the column through the data type declaration, either.

Cause: An attempt was made to specify an invalid collation for the primary key column of an index-organized table.

Cause: An attempt was made to provide an argument that was not a literal.

Cause: Nested aggregates were specified in the pivot operator. This operation is not supported.

Cause: DEFAULT ON NULL was specified on a object type or REF column. These types are not supported.

Cause: An attempt was made to create an index cluster in which one of the key columns had an unsupported declared collation or an attempt was made to create a hash cluster in which a key column with SORT clause had an unsupported declared collation. Only the collations BINARY, USING_NLS_COMP, USING_NLS_SORT, USING_NLS_SORT_CS, USING_NLS_SORT_VAR1, and USING_NLS_SORT_VAR1_CS are supported for character columns in index clusters and for sorted character columns of hash clusters.

Cause: An attempt was made to modify the declared collation of a column that either: o belonged to a foreign key o belonged to a primary or unique key and that key was referenced by some foreign key o corresponded to a cluster key column o was referenced by a defining expression of a virtual column o was referenced by a defining expression of a functional index o corresponded to an attribute of a user-defined type or an object table o belonged to the container table of a materialized view o was referenced by a join condition of a bitmap join index The declared collation of such columns cannot be modified.

Cause: An attempt was made to modify the declared collation of a column that belonged to a primary or unique key, or a standard index key, or a partitioning key, and the new collation was from a different group than the old collation, where the groups are defined as follows: Group 1: BINARY, USING_NLS_COMP, USING_NLS_SORT, USING_NLS_SORT_CS, USING_NLS_SORT_VAR1, and USING_NLS_SORT_VAR1_CS Group 2: BINARY_CI, USING_NLS_SORT_CI, and USING_NLS_SORT_VAR1_CI Group 3: BINARY_AI, USING_NLS_SORT_AI, and USING_NLS_SORT_VAR1_AI

Cause: An attempt was made to modify the collation of an Oracle-maintained database object. Modifications of Oracle-maintained database objects are generally not permitted.

Cause: An attempt was made to create a bitmap join index or a domain index with a key or join condition that contained a character column with a declared collation other than BINARY, USING_NLS_COMP, USING_NLS_SORT, USING_NLS_SORT_CS, USING_NLS_SORT_VAR1, or USING_NLS_SORT_VAR1_CS. Only these listed collations are supported by this type of the index.

Cause: An attempt was made to change the collation of a character column to a collation that is not supported in a key of a bitmap join index, a domain index key to which the column belongs. Only the collations BINARY, USING_NLS_COMP, USING_NLS_SORT, USING_NLS_SORT_CS, USING_NLS_SORT_VAR1, and USING_NLS_SORT_VAR1_CS are supported in these keys.

Cause: An attempt was made to explicitly state the default collation setting for an object table. However, default collations do not apply to object tables because all columns of an object table inherit collations from the attributes of the base type of the table.

Cause: An attempt was made to use the default value, in case of a conversion failure, by specifying the DEFAULT argument ON CONVERSION ERROR statement to a conversion operator. This feature is not allowed for current operation.

Cause: The COLLATE or DEFAULT COLLATION clause was specified in a DDL statement or the DEFAULT_COLLATION parameter was specified in an ALTER SESSION statement, but the value of the initialization parameter MAX_STRING_SIZE was STANDARD. The data-bound collation feature is disabled if the value of this parameter is STANDARD.

Cause: A table or view column with a declared collation other than USING_NLS_COMP was referenced in a distributed query that originated in an Oracle Database with the release number lower than 12.2. Such references are not allowed.

Cause: An attempt to call the SRVCTL command line failed with the specified errors.

Cause: The service command stipulated -serverpool or -cardinality but this database was an administrator-managed Oracle RAC database, which does not recognize these parameters.

Cause: The service command stipulated -serverpool, -cardinality, or -instances but this database was a non-Oracle RAC database, which does not recognize these parameters.

Cause: The service command stipulated -instances, but this database was a policy-managed Oracle RAC database, which does not recognize this parameter.

Cause: The string provided by GDSCTL to override runtime load balancing with manual region weights was badly formed.

Cause: This command would delete all remaining instances from the service, leaving the service in an invalid state.

Cause: There was a problem creating a new process to run SRVCTL from the command line.

Cause: The command-line execution of SRVCTL failed because of bad parameters.

Cause: This is a warning message only. This command required catalog changes and the 'compatible' database parameter indicated that the database could be downgraded. Downgrading a catlog database after making catalog changes is not advised and may cause data loss in the catalog.

Cause: This command required catalog changes, which are not allowed unless there is at least one Global Service Manager (GSM) server running at the current version.

Cause: An attempt was made to start a service that did not exist on the target database.

Cause: An attempt was made to delete an instance from this database but the instance was not in the existing instance list.

Cause: An attempt was made to start a service on an administrator-managed Oracle RAC database, but there were no instances defined for the service on that database.

Cause: An attempt was made to start all services for a given database but there were no services that could start.

Cause: The new database name provided was not in the list of preferred or available databases for the service.

Cause: A disable service request did not provide either a database name or a service name.

Cause: An attempt was made to remove a broker configuration from a database pool that does not contain one.

Cause: The catalog did not have any database pools defined.

Cause: The GSM did not provide a version when attempting to connect to the catalog.

Cause: The MODIFY command did not add any preferred instances or removed all existing preferred instances from this database.

Cause: A region name was not provided and was required because there were multiple regions in the catalog.

Cause: The CREATE CATALOG command could not be executed on a container other than the root container.

Cause: The ADD DATABASE command could not add a pluggable database.

Cause: An attempt was made to add non-uniform service to a pool that contains a sharded root.

Cause: An attempt was made to add a database to a pool that contains a sharded root.

Cause: An attempt was made to work with a generic pool that was not a sharded root.

Cause: An attempt was made to work with a generic pool that was not a shard.

Cause: An attempt to use a database link from a pool database to a catalog failed.

Cause: The shardspace or shardgroup was not empty and contained at least one shardgroup or shard.

Cause: The remote scheduler job to convert a shard from seed has failed.

Cause: The shard was opened in the incorrect mode for Oracle Data Guard broker setup.

Cause: The shard did not have the correct role for Oracle Data Guard broker setup.

Cause: Due to previous errors deployment could not continue.

Cause: The remote scheduler agent is required to convert the shard from a seed, but it has not been configured.

Cause: A primary shard was added to the catalog but the DBID was not discovered, and none of the standby shards could be converted.

Cause: Credential could not be created or retrieved.

Cause: The primary shard was still an unconverted seed, but it had converted standby shards. Standby shards cannot be converted before their primary shard.

Cause: The specified parameter was set to an invalid value.

Cause: At attempt was made to create a sharded and a non-sharded database pool in the same catalog.

Cause: The client application specified a chunk name associated with the current user call that was not found on the current shard.

Cause: The chunk, specified by the client application, was split or never contained the specified key.

Cause: The shardspace or shardgroup that you intended to remove did not exist in catalog.

Cause: The chunk move failed. The source shard could not connect to the target.

Cause: The chunk move failed. The target shard was improperly configured.

Cause: The chunk move failed. The source shard could not connect to the target standby shard.

Cause: Shard metadata inconsistency was detected.

Cause: Shard configuration inconsistency was detected.

Cause: Shard configuration inconsistency was detected.

Cause: There was a database management system (DBMS) file transfer error.

Cause: There was a database management system (DBMS) file transfer error.

Cause: The backup file could not be deleted from the file system.

Cause: There was an internal error which prevented a chunk state change.

Cause: There was an internal error which prevented the metadata export.

Cause: The region was not empty because it contained at least one shardgroup.

Cause: The shard was in an invalid or unsupported state for use with sharding.

Cause: The discovered database identifier (DBID) for the shard was invalid, but the shard was already converted from a shard seed.

Cause: There was an unexpected error during TSDP operation.

Cause: The names of invalid or nonexistent database objects were found in the XML input.

Cause: The schema specified did not exist.

Cause: The table specified did not exist in the schema.

Cause: The column specified did not exist.

Cause: A sensitive type that was associated with one or more sensitve columns did not exist.

Cause: There was no sensitive column matching the schema, table and column input.

Cause: The column was already identified as sensitive.

Cause: No sensitive columns were found for the given source.

Cause: The sensitive type already existed in the database.

Cause: The sensitive type did not exist in the database.

Cause: The sensitive type that is associated with one or more columns could not be dropped.

Cause: A TSDP policy with the same name was found.

Cause: The Oracle security feature specified was not supported by Transparent Sensitive Data Protection.

Cause: The TSDP policy specified did not exist.

Cause: Importing the list of sensitive columns succeeded. However, one or more sensitive column types already existed in the database and were not imported again. The corresponding column is associated with the existing type.

Cause: An attempt was made to alter a column that was not identified as sensitive.

Cause: The given policy was not associated with the sensitive column type.

Cause: Policy enforcement on one or more columns encountered errors.

Cause: The given policy was not enabled on the column.

Cause: The given policy was associated with the sensitive column type.

Cause: Errors were encountered while disabling one or more policies.

Cause: The cause of this error could be one or more of the following: - The policy that was associated with the sensitive column type of a column was not enabled on the column because no subpolicy matched the column properties. - There was no policy associated with the sensitive column type of a sensitive column. - A conflicting redaction policy was enabled on the table.

Cause: There was no policy associated with the sensitive column type of a column.

Cause: Importing the list of sensitive columns failed because there was a problem in disabling protection on the columns. A subsequent attempt to reenable protection on the columns also failed.

Cause: Importing the list of sensitive columns succeeded. A subsequent attempt to reenable protection on the columns failed.

Cause: Disabling protection on the column failed.

Cause: There was no column for the given sensitive column type.

Cause: There was no policy associated with the sensitive column type.

Cause: A Transparent Sensitive Data Protection policy that was enabled on a column could not be altered or dropped.

Cause: A Transparent Sensitive Data Protection policy that was associated with a sensitive column type could not be dropped.

Cause: The given condition was not found for the policy.

Cause: The default policy for Transparent Sensitive Data Protection could not be altered.

Cause: The default policy for Transparent Sensitive Data Protection could not be dropped.

Cause: An invalid parameter was found for the given security feature.

Cause: An invalid parameter was found for the given security feature.

Cause: Invalid input was given for the parameter.

Cause: The given condition was invalid.

Cause: A Transparent Sensitive Data Protection policy that was enabled on one or more columns of a particular sensitive type could not be disassociated from the sensitive type.

Cause: One or more columns from the XML input were already identified as sensitive by a different source.

Cause: A column in a SYS-owned table was being marked as sensitive.

Cause: The SEC_RELEVANT_COLS parameter was specified while configuring a Transparent Sensitive Data Protection (TSDP) policy. SEC_RELEVANT_COLS_OPT parameter can be specified to indicate that TSDP should input the sensitive column as input to SEC_RELEVANT_COLS parameter at the time of enabling protection.

Cause: An attempt was made to perform the TSDP operation from inside the application install or patch begin-end block.

Cause: An attempt was made to mark one of the virtual or hidden columns as sensitive.

Cause: RMAN attempted to use the specified data file number, but this data file number was already in use by a different container database.

Cause: During ALTER DATABASE RENAME or RMAN command SWITCH, the rename was specified for an instantly restored file.

Cause: This data file copy was instantly restored. Cataloging such file is not supported.

Cause: An attempt was made to restore a data file copy in instant restore mode. This is not supported.

Cause: This data file was instantly restored with the full option. A background process was repopulating the data file. An attempt to take the data file out of the process failed. Deleting or restoring such files is not supported.

Cause: This data file was instantly restored. Moving such file is not supported.

Cause: During an instant restore, it was not possible to initialize the destination data file. There might be other messages on the error stack or alert log or trace file that indicate the specific reason for the failure. One common reason for this message is that the instant restore feature is disabled in this database.

Cause: This data file was instantly restored. An attempt was made to create a record in the control file for the data file. Unless the database is mounted, this command cannot be completed.

Cause: A backup or copy was attempted while restore, recover or block media recovery was in progress. This error should be preceded by another error indicating file access enqueue problem for a file specified in a backup, copy or restore operation.

Cause: During transport, an encrypted tablespace could not find its rewrapped key as part of an RMAN cross-platform command.

Cause: Restore with encryption and decryption is only supported on 12.2 compatible databases and above.

Cause: An attempt was made to restore with encryption and decryption for backups with compatibility less or equal to Oracle Database 11g release 2 (11.2).

Cause: The indicated file was not included in the backup because it belongs to a dropped pluggable database (PDB).

Cause: An attempt was made to backup a control file when the mounted control file at that time was a backup control file. This is not allowed.

Cause: The physical block size and logical block size of the backup piece did not match.

Cause: Some restored files belonged to the dropped pluggable database (PDB) with respect to the current control file.

Cause: An attempt was made to access a backup piece or data file. This attempt failed because the specified file is not known to the current container.

Cause: The incremental-start system change number (SCN) which was specified when starting an incremental data file backup is greater than the data file checkpoint SCN, which could cause some blocks to be missed.

Cause: An attempt was made to restore a backup as encrypted. This attempt failed because the current wallet did not contain an encryption key with which to encrypt the data.

Cause: An attempt was made to restore a backup as encrypted. This attempt failed because the current wallet contained more than one encryption key.
