Issue/Introduction

When sampling a database, you see error: ORA-22950: cannot ORDER objects without MAP or ORDER method

Environment

CA Test Data Manager (TDM)- Datamaker, Oracle

Cause

Development has confirmed that the product is currently working as designed. When Datamaker detects a column that it cannot profile, it will flag it and ignore it, then move onto the next one. Sampling will complete for all tables and then a message about a log file will be provided for the columns that were not profiled. 

Resolution

Seethe below for the resolution from Oracle. We recommend working with your DBA to accomplish this. 
ORA-22950 and sub-select 

  • Cause: Object types must have map or order methods defined for all comparisons other than equality and inequality comparisons.
  • Action: Define a map or order method for the object type.
