I think its related with jdbc    I have a similar problem  missing param  when I have a where condition like this   a    namedparameter and b    namedparameter   It s ok  When I have like this   a    namedparameter and b    namedparameter2   the two param has the same value    So it s a problem with named parameters   I think there is a bug around named parameter handling  it looks like if only the first parameter get the right value  the second is not set by driver classes  Maybe its not a bug  only I don t know something  but anyway I guess that s the reason for the difference between the SQL dev and the sqlplus running for you  because as far as I know SQL developer uses jdbc driver

Based on the comments left above I ran this under sqlplus instead of SQL Developer and the UPDATE statement ran perfectly  leaving me to believe this is an issue in SQL Developer particularly as there was no ORA error number being returned  Thank you for leading me in the right direction

I got the same error and found the cause to be a wrong or missing foreign key   Using JDBC

I had a similar error on my side when I was using JDBC in Java code   According to this website  the second awnser  it suggest that you are trying to execute the query with a missing parameter   For instance    exec SomeStoredProcedureThatReturnsASite   L kSite      You are trying to execute the query without the last parameter   Maybe in SQLPlus it doesn t have the same requirements  so it might have been a luck that it worked there
