Here is an example of one from the alert log. Rowid is ambiguous when run from
sqlplus. This is being invoked from Oracle ODBC 12.2. Cannot get the before
text because it is in a 3rd party application. The vendor states they are not
coding the "rowid".

Subject: RE: rowid added to the select cluase of a statement
The before and after sql text might be useful as well as what interface
submitted the sql.
IF you can grab the sql text and submit it directly at the local command line,
that might help discover or rule out where to focus investigation.
Whether the objects referenced in the statement are tables or something
complex, such as join views, might also be of interest.
Good luck!

Subject: rowid added to the select cluase of a statement
In Oracle 12.2, we are seeing parse warning messages. The sql shown includes
rowid in the select which causes the sql to be invalid - column ambiguously
defined. Google found the below entry from 2007.

Does this sound familiar to anyone and if so what is the fix?
