A simple expression specifies a column, pseudocolumn, constant, sequence number, or null.
simple_expression::=
In addition to the schema of a user, schema
can also be "PUBLIC
" (double quotation marks required), in which case it must qualify a public synonym for a table, view, or materialized view. Qualifying a public synonym with "PUBLIC
" is supported only in data manipulation language (DML) statements, not data definition language (DDL) statements.
You can specify ROWID
only with a table, not with a view or materialized view. NCHAR
and NVARCHAR2
are not valid pseudocolumn datatypes.
