ALTER VIEW ORA 43929: Collation cannot be specified if parameter MAX_STRING_SIZE=STANDARD is set.
Description
Sometimes ALTER VIEW > View Info tab improperly attempts to set "Default Collation" to USING_NLS_COMP. For my purposes, this is incorrect as default collation is not required for the view. Following the suggested ORA-43929 corrective action goes down a very dangerous rabbit hole where the MAX_STRING_SIZE is irreversibly switched to EXTENDED and utl32k is run - which can result in the database being un-openable and must be restored from backup. Is there a way to default to "Default Collation"=Default?
