Hi all,
Why would one 9.2.0.8 database have a column named "compression" in
SYS.DBA_TABLES and another one not? That's the situation I have... I'm
trying to work with a colleague's database and my 3rd party schema
comparison / fix utility is expecting the column to be there, and
crashing out because it isn't...
Running "desc" on my SYS.DBA_TABLES and his SYS.DBA_TABLES shows that
the views are the same apart from this one difference.
TIA
Tarby

One likely reason would be the database haven't been patched to
9.2.0.8 using the same procedure.
Maybe on one of those databases catpatch.sql wasn't run.

Pretty scary. That was bug 2474106 fixed in 9203.
