OCI-04043

Object string does not exist.

Cause

An object name was specified that was not recognized by the system. There are several possible causes:

  • An invalid name for a table, view, sequence, procedure, function, package, or package body was entered. Since the system could not recognize the invalid name, it responded with the message that the named object did not exist.
  • An attempt was made to rename an index, cluster, or some other object that cannot be renamed.

Action

Check the spelling of the named object and rerun the code. Valid names of tables, views, functions and other database objects can be listed by querying the data dictionary.
