The error occurs when the query is of the following form:

Select *, columnname From Table

The query is not a valid query, Oracle allows an asterisk (*) or a column list in the project list, not both.

RESOLUTION

Use a column list or the asterisk, but not both.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
