you can t use aliases from select list inside the WHERE clause  because of the Order of Evaluation of a SELECT statement   also you cannot use OVER clause inside WHERE clause -  You can specify analytic functions with this clause in the select list or ORDER BY clause    citation from docs oracle com   select   from  select   staff id  site id  pay level  date     max date  over  partition by staff id  max date   from owner table   where end enrollment date is null   where date   max date
