Solution 1

Revised the statement as

Alter table TBL_TRAIN Add (ITT_001 VARCHAR2(50) );

then it went through. This case is to be closed. Thanks for your review.

Back in March I advised you that answering your own questions is usually thought of as abuse of the forum...especially when you choose to accept your own answer and often ignore the advice of experts. I suggest that you curb this habit. If you find the answer for your query so quickly perhaps it would be better to try harder before posting a question
