SQLException Calling Stored Procedure

Question

Hello all,
I'm getting the following exception when calling a stored procedure from Java. Maybe someone can help me out here. See details below.
Exception
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01747: invalid user.table.column, table.column, or column specification

I'm not necessarily recommending the approach, but you can use a SELECT in the VALUES clause.
It acts as a scalar subquery, so it will work in 8i and up in SQL, and 9i and up in PL/SQL.
It will also work in PL/SQL in 8i if you use dynamic SQL.
65765, use the code tags to format your code.
I ran this in 9.2.0.4.
INSERT INTO t
        id,
        value
VALUES
        1,
        (SELECT ROWNUM FROM all_objects WHERE ROWNUM = 1)
1 row created.
SELECT * FROM t
        ID      VALUE
         1          1
BEGIN
        INSERT INTO t
                id,
                value
        VALUES
                2,
                (SELECT ROWNUM FROM all_objects WHERE ROWNUM = 1)
END;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SELECT * FROM t
        ID      VALUE
         1          1
         2          1
