Delete the sentence that reads: |
In Oracle8, there were no rows selected.
Replace with the following paragraph:
In Oracle8, there were no rows selected because a bug has been
introduced in this view. According to Mark B. Wallace, a DBA with
Database Architechs, in Oracle8 a BITAND function was used to
handle a new "hidden column" feature, and the programmer did not
take into consideration the interaction between this function and the
outer join. If the privilege that has been granted is not a
column-oriented privilege, the outer join will be activated, will
generate a null row for COL$, and the BITAND comparison will fail.
Therefore, no row-oriented information will be reported for this
view in current versions of Oracle8.
