RE: Anyone seen ROWID's added to the SELECT clause of a statement?

This is exactly what it was.... No one had ever noticed it doing this before
so at first we thought that was the problem.

Turns out that someone had set cursor_sharing to similar earlier that day,
which caused all sorts of problems when using group by statements (for some
reason the SQL with the added bind variables was not getting the ROWID
columns put in the group by clause). Setting cursor_sharing back to exact
solved the problem.

Thanks to everyone for their replies!!

  Hi Robert,

  That seams to me normal frontend trick when application retrieves dataset
with intent to update some rows. I would think that this is done by
application rather than ODBC driver. ROWID is used as a reference to the
original row while updating.

  I have an application that everyone swears no changes
  have occured on, that is adding a ROWID clause to the
  end of the select clause of each SQL statement.

  The application code does not appear to be doing this.
  It runs through ODBC. The database does not appear to
  be doing this.

  Has anyone seen anything like this before?

  Robert
