error on drop view

Sven W.Feb 25 2015 — edited Feb 25 2015

I currently have issues with a certain view.

Looking for ideas how to correct that.

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-06553: PLS-103: Encountered the symbol "BER_AVA_A" when expecting one of

the following:

<an identifier> <a double-quoted delimited-identifier>

ORA-06553: PLS-112: end-of-line in quoted identifier

SQL>

I understand where the error came from. The view was exported and imported using some automated scripts.

One of the scripts used a linesize of 1000.

Which resulted in the following create statement.

CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW .... "COL1", "COL2", "COL3",... "BER_AVA_A

RT", "COL20", "COL21"

...

The line was broken after 1000 characters, which was the last A from column "BER_AVA_ART".

The view nonetheless is now in the data dictionary. I'd like to get rid of it.

The same error message happens for all activity involving that view, like create or replace, select.

btw: I very strongly advice not to try and recreate that error!

My impression is that I got some library cache corruption because of that view. Which in turn prevents dropping the object.

Is there any other (supported) way to get rid of an object?
