Certain commands, such as CREATE TABLE, CREATE CLUSTER, and INSERT, require a list of items enclosed in parentheses. It may not be a reserved word.Ĭause: A required left parenthesis has been omitted.

You can determine if the Procedural Option is installed by starting SQL*Plus. This error can occur if the Procedural Option is not installed and a SQL statement is issued that requires this option (for example, a CREATE PROCEDURE statement).
