We recently got some errors in our alert log of the form
301598: Tue Jul 16 03:58:29 2013
301599: ORA-01555 caused by SQL statement below
301600: SELECT * FROM RELATIONAL(<owner>.<table>)
I know how to handle ORA-01555 errors, but I never encountered something like SELECT * FROM RELATIONAL. I looked in DBA_OBJECTS, but there is no such function/operator/whatever.
Googling for ‘SELECT * FROM RELATIONAL’ only returned questions related to ORA-01555.
So, my question is: What is the meaning of the RELATIONAL keyword here?
