Hi all, I am getting following error: ORA-00904: "CHAR_LENGTH": invalid identifier while trying to run: desc tableA@remote_db from 9.2.0.8 to 8.1.7.4 Everything I read so far suggests that one of the columns being Oracle reserved word, but not sure what this error message refers to as every column in destination table starts with "ST00_" Any suggestions?
