Oct 15, 2008 · Oracle also has a number of legacy data dictionary views-- TAB, DICT, TABS, and CAT for example-- that could be used.

I can make the query work by repeating the same query multiple times, but do not want to do that, and leverage "WITH AS". It seems like a simple requirement but oracle does not allow me: ORA-00928: missing SELECT keyword

Nov 3, 2010 · @shanyangqu - the important part to read from that link is "this note by Scott Canaan suggests that in Oracle 10.2, they can produce different execution plans, and hence, different execution speeds" - but in the end, the effect was not proven, and several (valid, IMO) theories that would explain the observed behaviour were presented - none of which suggest that the different syntaxes make any ...
