Oracle Lite - in line quiries

Question

9iLite 5.0.2.8
Do in-line queries work?
example
select level, a.col_a, b.col_b
from tab_A, (select col_b
from tab_c
where col_c = 1 ) b
where a.col_D = 1
start with a.col_a = 0
connect by b.col_b = prior a.col_a
We have more complex queries that work on an enterprise verison of the DB, but these sql statements all fail when executed on 9iLite.
Assuimg their are limitations to the complexity of
the sql that can run on 9iLite, is there a document
which hi-lites these limitations and possible work-arounds. I have read the SQL Reference for 9iLite - it documents what syntax is allowed very well.
I am suspecting that temporary objects in 9iLite sql may not be allowed.
Thanks in advance for any input.

The actual syntax is ...
select level, cls.isActive, cls.application_class_id,
menu.application_class_id_parent, menu.menu_order,
menu.menu_id
from application_class cls,
( select *
from application_menu
where menu_profile = 1 ) menu
where menu.application_class_id (+) =
cls.application_class_id
and isActive = 1
start with (cls.application_class_id = 0 or
menu.application_class_id_parent is null )
connect by menu.application_class_id_parent = prior
cls.application_class_id
and cls.application_class_id != 0
The error from oLite is ...
Exception:
java.sql.SQLException: [POL-5185] can't establish a join with CONNECT BY

This sql works on an EE version of the DB. I do agree that
in-line queries work. I cut this sql up to be just an in-line query and it does work. The problem seems to be around the use of "connect by" with an in-line. I do know that "connect by" works.
Thanks in advance for any input.
