ORA-00909 error when Insert object in object table - oracle

I am getting an error ORA-00909 in when inserting an object of a superType in an object table. These are the definitions for the objects:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE address AS OBJECT (
street VARCHAR(20),
country VARCHAR(20),
province VARCHAR(20),
city VARCHAR2(20),
zipcode VARCHAR(10)
) FINAL;
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE company AS OBJECT (
CIF VARCHAR2(9),
code VARCHAR2(10),
name VARCHAR2(20),
signUpDate DATE,
email VARCHAR2(20),
adminAddress address
) NOT FINAL;
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE inCourseCompany UNDER company (
postalAddress address,
numEmployees NUMBER
) FINAL;
And the object table:
CREATE TABLE companies_objtab OF company (PRIMARY KEY CIF) OBJECT IDENTIFIER IS PRIMARY KEY;
I try to insert an object with the following statement:
INSERT INTO companies_objtab VALUES (
company('J12345678','000001','Test Company',TO_DATE(sysdate, 'dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss'),'',address('','','','',''))
);
and I get error Error
SQL: ORA-00909: invalid number of arguments
00909. 00000 - "invalid number of arguments"
However, when I insert an object of the subtype inCourseCompany it is inserted correctly:
INSERT INTO companies_objtab VALUES (
inCourseCompany('G11111111','','',TO_DATE(sysdate, 'dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss'),'',address('','','','',''), address('','','','',''), 100)
);
Any hint about what causes the error?
I am using Oracle SQL Developer 4.0.2.15.21 and Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2.
Thank you in advance.

i tried all your statements right as you posted them (copy-paste). Both on 12c and 11gR2. Everything worked, both inserts. The only thing I noticed is that your create table is a bit incorrect. This is the correct one (but this does not explain the error you get). HTH KR
CREATE TABLE companies_objtab OF company (CIF PRIMARY KEY) OBJECT IDENTIFIER IS PRIMARY KEY;
Maybe try dropping the table and creating it again.

sql script not running

Here is a code snippet of a sql script which is giving me error,I have to generate a sequence on the primary_key of the table without using triggers in oracle:
CREATE SEQUENCE t1_seq START WITH 1 INCREMENT BY 1;
DROP TABLE CPR_SOURCE_SYSTEM_METADATA;
CREATE TABLE CPR_SOURCE_SYSTEM_METADATA
(
SYSTEM_ID NUMBER(4) NOT NULL t1_seq.nextval,
SYSTEM_NAME VARCHAR2(200),
DATE_FORMAT VARCHAR2(200),
CREATED_BY VARCHAR2(200),
MODIFIED_BY VARCHAR2(200),
CREATED_ON NUMBER(20),
MODIFIED_ON NUMBER(20),
IS_DELETED VARCHAR2(1),
CONSTRAINT "CPR_SOURCE_SYSTEM_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("SYSTEM_ID")
);
It is giving me the below error :
DROP TABLE CPR_SOURCE_SYSTEM_METADATA
* ERROR at line 1: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
SYSTEM_ID NUMBER(4) NOT NULL t1_seq.nextval,
* ERROR at line 3: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
Not able to figure out the error,can anyone help??
SYSTEM_ID NUMBER(4) NOT NULL t1_seq.nextval,
The t1_seq.nextval segment is not valid - you cannot specify an auto-incrementing column like that.
The SQL parser is expecting to see:
SYSTEM_ID NUMBER(4) NOT NULL,
and throws the exception as the comma is not where it expects.
In Oracle 12c you can use an identity column but in earlier versions you will either need to:
Use the sequence in the SQL insert statement;
Use a trigger to insert the correct sequence value; or
Create a stored procedure to handle inserts and manage the sequence through that (disallowing direct inserts that could bypass this).

Adding constraint to supertable with child instances in an Oracle DB

I've got a hierarchy pretty similar to this one in an Oracle Database
CREATE TYPE PersonUdt AS OBJECT(
personId number(10),
Name varchar(20)
)INSTANTIABLE NOT FINAL;
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE PatientUdt under PersonUdt(
insurancePlan varchar(100)
);
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE DoctorUdt under PersonUdt(
area varchar(20)
);
CREATE TABLE Person of PersonUdt(
personId PRIMARY KEY
)OBJECT IDENTIFIER IS SYSTEM GENERATED;
I've got some insertions on the table,like
INSERT INTO person VALUES(DoctorUdt(1, 'Alfred', 'Area One'));
I would like to create a constraint to limit the area in which the a doctor can work. Let's say, limit it to Area one, two and three.
Is it possible to do this using ALTER TABLE x ADD CONSTRAINT... functions?
Thanks in advance!

Insertion in Nested Tables on Oracle DB

I am a new learner of PL/SQL databases,A kind of exercise given to apply database on apex.oracle.com with given sequence.Then I have created tables but when it comes to fill tables with the insertion code as follows,Application has given error,Would you mind if I need your assistance
Thanks in Advance,
CREATE TYPE TEMPORAL_VARCHAR AS OBJECT (
VALID_TIME_LOWER_BOUND DATE,
VALID_TIME_UPPER_BOUND DATE,
VALUE_PART VARCHAR2(50)
);
CREATE TYPE TEMPORAL_NUMBER AS OBJECT (
VALID_TIME_LOWER_BOUND DATE,
VALID_TIME_UPPER_BOUND DATE,
VALUE_PART NUMBER );
Time-related attributeshave defined with the code as follows;
CREATE TYPE NAME_TYPE AS TABLE OF TEMPORAL_VARCHAR;
CREATE TYPE ADDRESS_TYPE AS TABLE OF TEMPORAL_VARCHAR;
CREATE TYPE DEPARTMENT_TYPE AS TABLE OF TEMPORAL_VARCHAR;
CREATE TYPE MANAGER_TYPE AS TABLE OF TEMPORAL_VARCHAR;
CREATE TYPE SALARY_TYPE AS TABLE OF TEMPORAL_NUMBER;
CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE (
SSN NUMBER primary key,
NAME NAME_TYPE,
ADDRESS ADDRESS_TYPE ,
BIRTH_DATE DATE,
MANAGER MANAGER_TYPE ,
DEPARTMENT DEPARTMENT_TYPE,
SALARY SALARY_TYPE
)
NESTED TABLE NAME STORE AS NAME_TABLE,
NESTED TABLE ADDRESS STORE AS ADDRESS_TABLE,
NESTED TABLE MANAGER STORE AS MANAGER_TABLE,
NESTED TABLE DEPARTMENT STORE AS DEPARTMENT_TABLE,
NESTED TABLE SALARY STORE AS SALARY_TABLE
;
And the insertion that I am inteded to do
INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE VALUES
(101,
NAME(TEMPORAL_VARCHAR('23.11.2005','12.31.9999','James Brown')),
ADDRESS(TEMPORAL_VARCHAR('23.11.2005','12.31.9999','BUCA, IZMIR')),
'23.10.1986',
MANAGER(TEMPORAL_VARCHAR('23.11.2005','12.31.9999','Mike White')),

SALARY(TEMPORAL_NUMBER('23.11.2005',’12.31.9999’, 250000))
);
And the error message I recieved is :
ORA-00904: "SALARY": invalid identifier
There are spaces before _ here
CREATE TYPE MANAGER _TYPE AS TABLE OF TEMPORAL_VARCHAR;
CREATE TYPE SALARY _TYPE AS TABLE OF TEMPORAL_NUMBER;
DEPARTMENT DEPARTMENT _TYPE
A comma is missing after DEPARTMENT _TYPE
try this solution:
'alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT='DD.MM.YYYY';'
----------------------------------------------------
INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE VALUES
(101,
NAME_TYPE(TEMPORAL_VARCHAR('23.10.1986','09.09.9999','James Brown')),

I am trying to use a Subtype Object in place of a Supertype object but it is not working?

I have created two objects T_PERSONS,T_BUSINESS_PERSON where T_BUSINESS PERSON is a subtype and T_PERSONS is a supertype.
---Creating T_PERSONS OBJECT---
CREATE OR REPLACE
TYPE T_PERSONS AS OBJECT
( id integer,
first_name varchar2(10),
last_name varchar2(10),
dob DATE,
phone varchar2(12),
address t_address,
) NOT FINAL;
---Creating T_BUSINESS_PERSON OBJECT---
CREATE TYPE t_business_person UNDER t_persons
(title varchar2(20),
company varchar2(20)
);
Now I created an object table object_customers
CREATE TABLE object_customers OF t_persons
INSERTING DATA INTO object_customers
INSERT INTO object_customers VALUES
(t_persons(1,'Jason','Bond','03-APR-1955','800-555-1211',
t_address('21 New Street','Anytown','CA','12345')
));
in this case,data has been inserted properly
INSERT INTO object_customers VALUES
(t_business_person(2,'Steve','Edwards','03-MAR-1955','800-555-1212',
t_address('1 Market Street','Anytown','VA','12345'),'Manager','XYZ Corp'
));
Now in this case an error has occured
Error-attribute or element value is larger than specified in type.
Please Help.
The second insertion will work only if you create the table as follows:
CREATE TABLE object_customers OF t_business_person;

Where does oracle store my object instances?

I've created the following two object types :
create or replace type person_typ as object (
person# varchar(10)
) not final;
create or replace type salesperson_typ under person_typ (
salesperson# varchar(10),
sSurname varchar(10),
sForename varchar(10),
dateOfBirth date
);
create table person_tab of person_typ (
person# primary key
);
And I've inserted a row using :
insert into person_tab
values (salesperson_typ('p1','s1', 'Jones', 'John', sysdate));
Which I can retrieve using the following :
select
treat(value(s) as salesperson_typ).person# as person_number,
treat(value(s) as salesperson_typ).sSurname as sSurname
from
person_tab s
;
However, if I look at person_tab I only see the following :
SQL> select * from person_tab;
PERSON#
----------
p1
I'm curious, where does the salesperson specific data get stored? I was almost expecting to find a salesperson table, but I can't find anything obvious.
Your object is stored invisibly in the same table.
You can check columns by querying USER_TAB_COLS:
SELECT *
FROM user_tab_cols
WHERE table_name = 'PERSON_TAB';
Then you can then use the column names* you just discovered in a query (except SYS_NC_ROWINFO$, that throws an error for me).
SELECT SYS_NC_OID$
,SYS_NC_TYPEID$
--,SYS_NC_ROWINFO$
,PERSON#
,SYS_NC00005$
,SYS_NC00006$
,SYS_NC00007$
,SYS_NC00008$
FROM PERSON_TAB;
Note*
You should not use these column names in any application because they are internal and subject to change in future patches/releases.
