Query issue with 9i database only

Question

Hi,
I am getting this strage error in 9i database only for the following query. It works perfectly fine in any 8i databases. The query is executed from schema user X with all the referenced tables from schema user B.
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
SELECT COUNT (ref_id), gparent_id, ref_id, ref_value
FROM (SELECT (SELECT ref_id
FROM sams_sec_application_setup
WHERE setup_id = a.setup_id) ref_id,
(select ref_id from sams_sec_application_setup where setup_id =
(SELECT parent_id
FROM sams_sec_application_setup
WHERE setup_id =
(SELECT parent_id
FROM sams_sec_application_setup b
WHERE setup_id = a.setup_id))) gparent_id,
(SELECT ref_value
FROM sams_sec_application_setup
WHERE setup_id = a.setup_id) ref_value
FROM sams_sec_security a
WHERE setup_id IN (
SELECT setup_id
FROM sams_sec_application_setup a
WHERE application_id = (SELECT application_id
FROM sams_sec_application
WHERE application_name = 'SOFA')
AND GROUP_ID = (SELECT GROUP_ID
FROM sams_sec_group
WHERE group_name = 'Alliances'))
AND user_id = 'srikulka '
AND entity_id IN (
SELECT a.role_id
FROM sams_sec_role a,
sams_sec_permission b,
sams_sec_role_permission c
WHERE a.role_id = c.role_id
AND b.permission_id = c.permission_id
AND b.permission_name = 'Admin'
AND b.application_id =
(SELECT application_id
FROM sams_sec_application
WHERE application_name = 'SOFA')))
GROUP BY ref_id, gparent_id, ref_value;
The same query executed without any error in 8i databases.
The query is executed from schema user X with all the referenced tables in schema user B.
Thanks and regards,

3113 is a generic error and there are many known reasons for encountering this error. I suggest you search for related docs on Metalink.
