Question: I am getting the ORA-24372 error:

SQL> desc customer;
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-24372: invalid object for describe

How do I resolve the ORA-24372 error?

Answer: The oerr utility shows this for the ORA-24372 error:

oerr ORA 24372

ORA-24372: invalid object for describe

Cause: The object to be described is not valid. It either has compilation or authorization errors.

Action: The object to be described must be valid.

See my notes on recompliling invalid objects.
