ORA-38815

ALTER SESSION SET EDITION must be a top-level SQL statement

Cause

An edition switch failed because it was executed from a PL/SQL block or using recursive SQL.


Action

Execute the statement from a top-level OCI call, or use dbms_session.set_edition_deferred if its deferred effect is appropriate.
