This error is triggered when trying to update a column in a table that is part of a correlated subquery involving the same table. This issue was encountered in Oracle databases of versions equal to or greater than 12.1 but below 12.2, with 12.1.0.2 being the confirmed affected version.

Description:
The error was caused by a regression that prevented the correct marking of the compare column in cases where there is a correlation column from the same table but a different view. This regression led to the ORA-00600 [qeselupdpre_20] error when executing certain update statements within the specified version range of Oracle databases.

Version Affected:
The problem affects Oracle database versions from 12.1 to 12.2, with the specific version 12.1.0.2 (Server Patch Set) confirmed to experience this issue. It’s crucial to note that this problem does not extend to versions 12.2 and above.

Workaround:
Unfortunately, there is no available workaround for the ORA-00600 [qeselupdpre_20] error in the affected versions of the Oracle database. Users encountering this issue are advised to proceed directly to the fix provided by Oracle.

Fixed:
The fix for the bug causing the ORA-00600 [qeselupdpre_20] error is first included in Oracle database version 12.2.0.1 (Base Release). Users experiencing this problem should consider upgrading their Oracle database to version 12.2.0.1 or later to resolve this issue.

When patching an Oracle home, you might run into problems. OPatch might not behave as expected. It is helpful to know where to look for error messages or find additional information to pass on to Oracle Support if you want to log an SR for your problem. So OPatch maintains logs for apply, rollback, and lsinventory operations. The OPatch log files are located in the $ORACLE_HOME/cfgtoollogs/opatch. Each time you run OPatch, a new log file is created, and each log file is tagged with the operation’s timestamp. OPatch maintains an index of processed commands and log files in the opatch_history.txt file – and that is also in the above-mentioned $ORACLE_HOME/cfgtoollogs/opatch directory. So if you change the directory to $ORACLE_HOME/cfgtoollogs/opatch, you’ll see that every time you run OPatch, a log file is created with a date stamp. And then, at the bottom, you’ll see an opatch_history.txt file. look at the file, you’ll see a record of each time you ran the opatch apply, opatch rollback, or lsinventory command. The DBMS_QOPATCH package provides a PL/SQL or a SQL interface to view the installed database patches.

The package returns the patch and patch metadata information available as part of the “opatch lsinventory -xml” command in real-time. So it’s basically a way to see which patches are applied to your database home but from a PL/SQL or a SQL interface. So you basically get an XML-formatted return of your patch information. The DBMS_QOPATCH package allows users to query what patches are installed from SQL*Plus, write wrapper programs to create reports and do validation checks across multiple environments, and also to check patches installed on cluster nodes from a single location. If you log into SQL*Plus as the sys user and then perform select DBMS_QOPATCH.GET_OPATCH_LSINVENTORY from dual. And you’ll see just lots of XML information – which you can use an XML parser to make sense of it.

After applying DB RU 19.12.0.0.210720 or DB RUR 19.11.1.0.210720, you may notice that the Block Change Tracking (BCT) file is getting created of a size that is not in line with the database size.
Oracle recommends that you apply interim one-off Patch 33185773 to correct this problem(s) in the RU/RURs indicated above.
Note the fix for this issue has been included in the Oct2021 quarterly RU/RURs.
