ORA-00903: invalid table name

• Article Type: General
• Product: Aleph

Description:
What does the "ORA-00903: invalid table name" message mean? We find that it is occurring in the case where the table *does* exist.

Resolution:
This message means that Oracle has gone to look for this table in a particular library and did not find it.

This can be due to a table which is actually missing or, more often, to an LKR field containing an incorrect library, which, for instance, causes the program to look for a bib library table in a library which is not a bib library.
