ORA-04043: object string does not exist

ORA-04043: object string does not exist




Cause: An object name was specified that was not recognized by the system. There are several possible causes:
- an invalid name for a table, view, sequence, procedure, function, package, or package body was entered. Since the system could not recognize the invalid name, it responded with the message that the named object does not exist.
- an attempt was made to rename an index or a cluster, or some other object that cannot be renamed.




Action: Check the spelling of the named object and rerun the code. (Valid names of tables, views, functions, etc. can be listed by querying the data dictionary.)
