We are getting following error while executing SELECT with UNION ALL on subqueries with catsearch.

The following query runs fine:
            select seq_nb
            from BS_SEQ_DATA
            where name_id in
            (select name_id from BS_NM_DATA where CatSearch@vista(NM_ADRS_TX, 'CHENG', '') > 0)
            
            union all
            
            select shrt_seq_nb seq_nb
            from bs_shrt_seq_data
            where shrt_name_id in
            (select shrt_nm_id from bs_shrt_nm_data where CatSearch@vista(shrt_nm, 'CHENG', '') > 0)

But as soon as I wrap another select around it:


      select * from
      (
            select seq_nb
            from BS_SEQ_DATA
            where name_id in
            (select name_id from BS_NM_DATA where CatSearch@vista(NM_ADRS_TX, 'CHENG', '') > 0)
            
            union all
            
            select shrt_seq_nb seq_nb
            from bs_shrt_seq_data
            where shrt_name_id in
            (select shrt_nm_id from bs_shrt_nm_data where CatSearch@vista(shrt_nm, 'CHENG', '') > 0)      )


I get:

You should provide create table and insert statements for sample data and post a copy and paste of an actual run from SQL*Plus, complete with line numbers, so that we can see what you are actually running. I am guessing that you typed this, instead of copying and pasting, since you left out the database link after the table name in the from clause of your sub-queries that use catsearch. However, even if you fix that, I suspect you have encountered:

bug 7306881: TEXT SEARCH CAN'T USE ROWNUM IN A NESTED QUERY FROM A REMOTE DATABASE

Although you are not using rownum directly, I believe that when you use set operators like union all, that Oracle does so internally.

You are not seeing db link name for remote table because we are using public synonym [over dblink]for this table
