ORA-01003: no statement parsed

[ratfink]

I have an 8.1.6 database patched to a 8.1.6.3.8. The database seems happy while it is running, but when I do an exp I get two errors

EXP-00008: ORACLE error 1003 encountered
ORA-01003: no statement parsed

EXP-00008: ORACLE error 904 encountered
ORA-00904: invalid column name

Please help!

According to Metalink note 106155.1, this type of error is most likely caused by a version mismatch between the database and the export utility. Perhaps installing the 8.1.6.3.8 patch created the mismatch. The suggested fix is to rerun catalog.sql and catproc.sql as sys. That, among other things, will recreate your export views.

There appear to be other causes of this error. The Metalink note says that a large export that exceeds your file size limit can also create this type of error.
