Invalid SQL ORA-00904 for any Select * from any table. (4229727)

After upgrading to SQL Optimizer 9.x, when trying to optimize, the errors "The parser did not identify the text as a valid SQL statement" and/or "ORA-00904: Invalid Identifier" is given for any SQL statement.  ORA-00905 can also occur.  This error does not occur in previous versions of SQL Optimizer.

A prompt is given to create Plan Table. This seems to be created successfully but the error still occurs. 

RESOLUTION 1:

Verify that the schema's access to 'DBMS_LOB' and 'DBMS_XPLAN' objects and privileges.  

RESOLUTION 2: 

Specify a plan table in options (Options | General)  and that the schema has access to.
