Actually, it is possible to connect to the Oracle database by specifying the connect descriptor from the tnsnames.ora file. But it's not a secure way of connecting since all important pieces of information (server name, port etc.) are exposed in the process list when connecting this way.
@OP - find out the net_service_name that corresponds to this connect descriptor. It may be "PHYGD1" or something else - depends on what your Oracle DBA set it to during installation, so you may want to talk to him/her.
Once it is known, you can connect as "username/password@net_service_name". Or better, set the ORACLE_SID variable to that value and connect as "username/password".
In my case, I've set my ORACLE_SID to "ora11g", which is the net_service_name in my tnsnames.ora for my local database. So I can connect as "test/test".
Have a look at the script below; it should give you some idea -
The SQL syntax of your script looks suspicious:
If "dbdev.db_inv_dtl_hdr" is a regular (heap) table i.e. one that has been created using the "create table dbdev.db_inv_dtl_hdr (blah...);" syntax then your syntax should be -
As a matter of fact, there is a "table()" operator in Oracle that casts a nested table to a regular table. However, that type of syntax is typically used by advanced Oracle programmers and somehow I believe that's not the case here.
