I have the sample CUSTOMERS table.
I exported the values from table as INSERT script.
I took one row, modified the value from PK and re-executed the insert.
Insert into oe.customers (CUSTOMER_ID,
CUST_FIRST_NAME,
CUST_LAST_NAME,
CUST_ADDRESS,
PHONE_NUMBERS,
NLS_LANGUAGE,
NLS_TERRITORY,
CREDIT_LIMIT,
CUST_EMAIL,
ACCOUNT_MGR_ID,
CUST_GEO_LOCATION,
DATE_OF_BIRTH,
MARITAL_STATUS,
GENDER,
INCOME_LEVEL,
CREDIT_CARDS)

'G: 130,000 - 149,999',
OE.TYP_CR_CARD_NST(OE.TYP_CR_CARD('Visa',100000000000011)));
and I have the following error message:
Error at Command Line : 32 Column : 29 Error report - SQL Error:
ORA-00904: : invalid identifier
00904. 00000 - "%s: invalid identifier"
*Cause:
*Action:
which refers to line:
OE.TYP_CR_CARD_NST(OE.TYP_CR_CARD('Visa',100000000000011)));
The definition of types are:
create or replace type typ_cr_card as object
( card_type VARCHAR2(25)
, card_num NUMBER);
create or replace type typ_cr_card_nst as table of typ_cr_card;
Can someone tell me, please, what is wrong with this insert line as it is the one provided by SQL DEVELOPER?
NOTE: Also, I tried to use a procedure which inserts values in this table and the error refers to TYP_CR_CARD_NST datatype.

I want to group my database entries by an attribute and to know which entries are in each group at the same time. I collect the ids of the grouped entries with Oracle COLLECT function COLLECT Function
DECLARE
TYPE ids_type IS TABLE OF number(19, 0);
ids ids_type;
BEGIN
select cast(collect(r.id) as ids_type) into ids from rechnungsdaten r group by r.status;
END;
But then I get the error:
Error report - ORA-06550: Line 5, Column 44: PL/SQL:
ORA-00902: Invalid datatype ORA-06550: Line 5, Column 5:

What is wrong here?
You cannot use COLLECT function on a type declared in a PL/SQL anonymous block.
You have other options like
Create a database type and run your collect query.
create or replace TYPE ids_type IS TABLE OF number(19, 0);
SELECT
r.status,
CAST(COLLECT(r.id) AS ids_type)
FROM
rechnungsdaten r
GROUP BY
r.status;
Use a simple LISTAGG query to see the list of ids as a string
SELECT
r.status,
LISTAGG(r.id,',') WITHIN GROUP(
ORDER BY
id
)
FROM
rechnungsdaten r
GROUP BY
r.status;

I created a simple table:
CREATE TABLE "ADVUPGRD"."GL_CAMPUSEMAILS"
("Campus" VARCHAR2(2 CHAR), "SEND_TO" VARCHAR2(60 CHAR), "SEND_CC"
VARCHAR2(250 CHAR), "SEND_BCC" VARCHAR2(60 CHAR))
The table got created, I can do select * from gl_campusemails and it gets me a blank row since I have not populated this table yet.
When I'm populating the table I'm using this:
INSERT INTO GL_CAMPUSEMAILS (Campus, Send_To, Send_CC, Send_BCC)
VALUES('CP', 'as#gmail.com', 'test#yahoo.com', 'test2#gmail.com');
but I got this error message:
Error starting at line : 8 in command -
INSERT INTO GL_CAMPUSEMAILS (Campus, Send_To, Send_CC, Send_BCC)

Error report -

I googled and found a lot of posting but they're mostly related to the use of reserved words in the select statement.
I don't think the columns I used in here belong to any reserved words.What did I do wrong in here
If you use double quotes while creating the table, the column names are created exactly as you typed, case sensitive; thus, you insert should be:
INSERT INTO GL_CAMPUSEMAILS(
"Campus",
"SEND_TO",
"SEND_CC",
"SEND_BCC"
)
VALUES (
'CP',
'as#gmail.com',
'test#yahoo.com',
'test2#gmail.com'
);
If you create the table with no quotes, this will work fine
CREATE TABLE GL_CAMPUSEMAILS
(
Campus VARCHAR2(2 CHAR),
SEND_TO VARCHAR2(60 CHAR),
SEND_CC VARCHAR2(250 CHAR),
SEND_BCC VARCHAR2(60 CHAR)
);
INSERT INTO GL_CAMPUSEMAILS(
Campus,
SEND_TO,
SEND_CC,
SEND_BCC
)
VALUES (
'CP',
'as#gmail.com',
'test#yahoo.com',
'test2#gmail.com'
);
Notice that not using double quotes, Oracle will consider all the objects with upper case names; so, for example, "CAMPUS", campus, CaMpUs will work, while "campus" will not
i am new to oracle , i am developing a hospital management system , i have this table to store patients :
create table patients(
p_id number not null primary key,
p_fullname full_name_ty,
p_gender char,
de_no number,
p_entry date ,
Diagnosis varchar2(25),
p_exit date,
constraint pdf foreign key (de_no) references department(dep_no)
);
where p_entry is the date when a patient enters the hospital , i made a trigger that calculates the residency time in the hospital on after the upadate of the (p_exit) date for the patient (setting this date means that the patient has left the hospital) , the trigger will simply calculate the difference between the two dates , and print it , here is the code of the trigger :
create or replace
trigger period_trig before update of p_exit on patients for each row
DECLARE
period Number(3);
enterr DATE;
exitt DATE;
BEGIN
enterr := :old.P_ENTRY;
exitt:= :NEW.P_EXIT;
Period :=exitt-enterr;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Duration:'||period);
update patients SET RESIDENCY= Period where P_ID = :old.P_ID;
end period_trig
put when i test the trigger and use an update statement like this :
update patients set p_exit = to_date('01/02/2001','dd/mm/yyyy') where p_id = 2;
and run it i get this error :
Error starting at line 1 in command:
update patients set p_exit = to_date('01/02/2001','dd/mm/yyyy') where p_id = 2

You are modifying the very same table in the trigger that is currently being modified. As they error tells you:

this statement) attempted to look at (or modify) a table that was
in the middle of being modified by the statement which fired it.
*Action: Rewrite the trigger (or function) so it does not read that table.
There is actually no need in updating the table again, you can simply use a virtual column directly on the table that makes the entire trigger redundant:
CREATE TABLE patients(
p_id NUMBER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
p_fullname VARCHAR2(255),
p_gender CHAR(1),
de_no NUMBER,
p_entry DATE,
Diagnosis VARCHAR2(25),
p_exit DATE,
RESIDENCY NUMBER GENERATED ALWAYS AS (p_exit-p_entry)
);
insert into patients (p_id, p_fullname, p_gender, de_no, p_entry, diagnosis) values (1, 'GVENZL', 'M', 1234, SYSDATE-1, 'healthy' );
commit;
select p_fullname, residency from patients;
update patients set p_exit = sysdate;
commit;
select p_fullname, residency from patients;
I have an insert statement that I am trying to run against an Oracle database. The insert statement is very simple, and I only want to insert a value into one column. The table itself has more than one column, but I am only interested in filling one of the columns with data. The format of my query is similar to the one below:
insert into myTable (col1) Values (val1)
However, this throws the following error:
ORA-00904: "col1": invalid identifier
I've checked to make sure that the column is named correctly, and my only other thought is that something is wrong with my syntax. There are no constraints on the table such as primary keys. Is it possible to only insert values into certain columns when executing an insert statement in Oracle?
Check that you didn't quote the column name on creation of the table. If you did, the column name is stored as you quoted it. For example:
create table table1 (
id number(2)
)
has a different column name to this
create table table2 (
"id" number(2)
)
Oracle by default stores the (unquoted) column names in uppercase. Quoted are stored as is.
You can use a DESC table_name to see how the columns are stored.
The following
select id from table1
select iD from table1
select ID from table1
fetch the records, while only
select "id" from table2
will fetch records.
select id from table2
will throw the ORA-00904 : "ID" : invalid identifier error.
You may have inadvertently done the quoting during creation while using tools as established below:
https://community.oracle.com/thread/2349926
Btw: Yes it is possible to insert records for only one column, as long as the other columns do not have a NOT NULL constraint on them.
Actually, I think you may be double quoting the column in the insert statement (not on table creation), although your example is misleading. I guess this because of your error, which says "col1" is invalid, not "COL1" is invalid. Consider this simple test:
SQL> create table mytable
(
col1 varchar2(10)
)
Table created.
SQL> -- incorrect column name, without double quotes
SQL> insert into mytable(col2) values ('abc')
insert into mytable(col2) values ('abc')
Error at line 9

Error at line 12

SQL> -- correct column name, with double quotes (fails)

insert into mytable("col1") values ('abc')
Error at line 18
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small

ORA-00904: "col1": invalid identifier
The last failed insert attempt is what I think you may be doing:
insert into mytable("col1") values ...
based on the error message:
ORA-00904: "col1": invalid identifier
So the solution would simply be remove the double quoting around the column name in the insert.
It's most probably a syntax error
Desc myTable;
insert into myTable (col1) Values ('val1')
Ensure col1 is a valid column in the table, and you're simply not trying to say 'select the left-most column.
edit: Is it possible to only insert values into certain columns when executing an insert statement in Oracle?
Yes if you want to only insert into certain columns then simply specify it
e.g.
insert into myTable (col1, col2, col6) Values ('val1', 'val2', 'val3');
This will only work if the column itself doesn't have a NOT NULL constraint - in which case it will not allow a value to be enetered (unless again there's a default value).

It's a typo, change NEXTAVL TO NEXTVAL.
Try NEXTVAL instead of NEXTAVL.
