Hi Jeffrey,
It looks similar to this question:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67115953/oracle-err-918-unixudbc-instantclinet
Some ORMs and drivers add ROWID to the query text implicitly, if they don't
contain it already or key column specified in the cursor description. So
you can try to add a rowid of the most important table of your join
manually.

The next step would be to take off the allegedly added “ROWID,”

PS: It is a useful practice to include all the column table aliases in all
references once you get beyond a single base object. (I claim it is good
form to always fully decline column references, but there can be a
simplicity argument against that being called a “useful practice.” Once you
get beyond a single object, I do claim it is more than good form, but then
I always forced programmers who worked for me to put in all the parentheses
in formulae once it got beyond just addition and subtraction, and even then
if the bundling was meaningful.)
Again, good luck. Camel hump code is a good starting point for MiscellAnus
results.

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”.

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!

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?
