ORA-01445: Cannot select ROWID from, or sample, a join view without a key-preserved table

What it means

A query (or an updatable-view operation) needs the ROWID of a join view, but no table is key-preserved.

How to fix it

Join on primary/unique keys so one table is key-preserved, or select from the base table.
