Hi...I have written this code below in Disco Admin 10g but get Ora-00918 column ambiguosly defined error even though I have used alias in the table name. Can anyone please tell me what the error is for? Thanks

Select

,Porh.last_update_date
,porh.closed_code
,porh.authorization_status
,porh.description
,porh.note_to_authorizer
,porh.cancel_flag
,porh.enabled_flag
,porl.line_num

,porl.unit_price
,porl.suggested_vendor_name
,mtl.segment3
,mtl.description
,glcc.segment1
,glcc.segment2
,glcc.segment3
,glcc.segment4

From
apps.po_requisition_headers_v porh

Where

As all columns have aliases, this code most probably didn't raise that error. Is there any other code in that ... huh, Disco Admin 10g? (Obviously, I don't use Discoverer).

Hi...this is the only code I am using.
The code has been written in OracleBI Dicoverer Administrator.

Hi...I managed to sort it. I added the text "Desc" after mtl.description and the code was accepted! Thanks

Aha, it means that Discoverer objects because PORH.DESCRIPTION and MTL.DESCRIPTION are ambiguous ... That's different from Reports Builder (which, in such a case, automatically renames the second one to "DESCRIPTION1").

Thank you for letting us know!
