Query works interactively, but not as a View? ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication

Question

Hi,
I have created a db, using object stuff and now am doing a few
queries. I created this query and it makes perfect sense, runns
fine interactively and returns the correct records ..
But if I put this query into a separate queries.sql file and try
to create a VIEW of it in there, I get that end-of-file
communicaton error, and it basically disconnects me from
oracle .. so I have to restart SQLPlus. There are no other
characters or anything in the file, just the query itself ..
This is what happens when I run the .sql script which creates a
view of the query:
SQL> create or replace view query_b3 as
2 SELECT w.dinner.restaurant AS Restaurant, w.y.name.surname
AS Surname, w.x.bookingno AS BookingNo
3 FROM (SELECT deref(wd.sdt) x, dinner, deref(sd.guestref) y
4 FROM weekenddeal wd, specialdeal sd
5 WHERE wd.sdt.bookingno = sd.bookingno) w;
create or replace view query_b3 as
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
SQL>
SQL> select * from query_b3
2 /
select * from query_b3
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-03114: not connected to ORACLE
PLEASE HELP!!!! This query WORKS FINE in SQLPlus, but NOT when I
put it in an outside file / try making a VIEW of it!!!!

Hi,
I was having this problem in a Test DB that was running in
Windows NT.
I thought the problem was caused by Inadequate memory.
Pls Check that.
