We went from 10.2.0.3 CPU 12 (I think it was) to 10.2.0.4 CPU 24 and discovered 
a bug I didn't know existed.

If you're using ANSI SQL in 10.2.0.3 prior to 10.2.0.4 CPU 2, ORA-00918 
Ambiguous Column may not get raised.

After patching, you'll have code that starts failing if you failed to properly 
alias duplicate columns.

Here's the bug:

Bug 5368296 - ANSI join SQL may not report ORA-918 for ambiguous column [ID 
5368296.8]


Just wanted to pass it along.
