I have a table (AKADMIN) with an XMLTYPE column which name is XML.
I would like to use the getClobVal() with this column.
select t.xml.getClobVal() /**/
, t.xml.getClobVal() --
, t.xml.getClobVal() as clobval
, t.xml.getClobVal()
from akadmin t where ROWID = 'AAAQc6AAIAAAADDAAA' ;
In the resultset the first 4 column give CLOB type, but the fifth column XMLTYPE. I have to type any comment or alias after getClobVal() to correct (CLOB) type of the result. Why?
Another issue, when I leave the alias of tablename:
select xml.getClobVal()
from akadmin t where ROWID = 'AAAQc6AAIAAAADDAAA' ;
It throws an ORA-00904 string: invalid identifier
Hmmm...
Does anybody have any idea?
Addition info about environment:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.4.0;
PL/SQL Developer 10.0.5.1710
But a tried this in our Java apllication via OJDBC6 with same results
You should put xml in a brackets:
select (xml).getClobVal() from akadmin;
works for me

I am working with an application using asp.net core 2.2 and efcore database first approach with Oracle database. I am using Oracle.EntityFrameworkCore (2.19.60) nuget package, successfully mapped db model, but when I try to fetch data from DBContext , getting error
ORA-00904: "m"."Id": invalid identifier
Oracle Database version: Oracle Database 12c Standard Edition Release 12.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
code:
var fetched = await myDatabaseContext.MyTableVersions.ToListAsync();
LinQ is generating following query :
SELECT "m"."Id", "m"."MAJORVERSION" FROM "MyTableVersions" "m"
Since It's not a correct syntax for PL/Sql query so getting error ORA-00904: "m"."Id": invalid identifier.
Is there any way to fix this error? Thanks.
I have searched on the web and found
Bug 30352492 - EFCORE: ORA-00904: INVALID IDENTIFIER
but that issue is related to schema.
The query is perfectly valid (db<>fiddle here), assuming your table looks something like
CREATE TABLE "MyTableVersions"
("Id" NUMBER,
MAJORVERSION NUMBER)
However, I suspect your table looks like
CREATE TABLE "MyTableVersions"
(ID NUMBER,
MAJORVERSION NUMBER)
I don't know what the class looks like that you're trying to fetch into, but I suspect it has a field named Id. If you can change the name of that field to ID (in other words, so that its capitalization matches the capitalization of the related database column) you might find it works then.
Double quotes are something you should avoid in Oracle world.
Your query:
SELECT "m"."Id", "m"."MAJORVERSION" FROM "MyTableVersions" "m"
means that column name is exactly Id (capital I followed by d). Only if that's really so, you should use double quotes. Otherwise, simply remove them:
SELECT m.id, m.MAJORVERSION FROM MyTableVersions m
The same goes for the table name - if it was created using mixed case (and you can't do that without double quotes), you'll have to use double quotes and exactly same letter case always. Otherwise, don't use them.
Oracle is case-insensitive regarding object and column names and are UPPERCASE by default:
SQL> create table test (id number);
Table created.
SQL> desc test
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- -----------------
ID NUMBER
SQL> select table_name, column_name
2 from user_tab_columns
3 where table_name = 'TEST';
TABLE_NAME COLUMN_NAME
------------------------------ ------------------------------
TEST ID
SQL> insert into test (id) values (1);
1 row created.
SQL>
But, if you use mixed case with double quotes, then use them always:
SQL> create table "teST" ("Id" number);
Table created.
SQL> insert into test (id) values (1);
insert into test (id) values (1)
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
SQL> insert into "test" (id) values (1);
insert into "test" (id) values (1)
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
SQL> insert into "teST" (id) values (1);
insert into "teST" (id) values (1)
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00904: "ID": invalid identifier
SQL> insert into "teST" ("Id") values (1);
1 row created.
SQL>
So: first make sure what table and column names really are, then use them appropriately.
To avoid problems with case-sensitivity, add the option to eliminate EF to add quotes to the generated queries. For instance, if you are using Devart Oracle provider, this is done in the following way:
public override void ConfigureServices(ServiceConfigurationContext context)
{
Configure<AbpDbContextOptions>(options =>
{
var config = Devart.Data.Oracle.Entity.Configuration.OracleEntityProviderConfig.Instance;
config.Workarounds.DisableQuoting = true;
...
}
}
If you are using official provider - just inherit from DbCommandInterceptor (do quotes replacement with empty character in dbCommand in ...Executing methods), add this interceptor to DbContextOptionsBuilder instance.
I am trying to select table from an oracle database using datastage.
In the ODBC Connector, If i do
select *
from Table_Name
I get this error -
'ODBC function "SQLNumResultCols" reportted: STATE=102:Native Error
Code = 0: Msg = [IBM(DataDirect OEM)][ODBC 20101 driver] 251'.
However if i use -
select cast(colA as varchar(50) as A,
cast(colB as varchar(50) as B
instead of
select *
from table_name
it works just fine. The data type of these columns is NVARCHAR2.
Is there a way to directly get it from
select *
from table_name
(there are about 20 columns in each of these tables)
Found a fix. Changed nvarchar parameter in odbc file
I am new to SQL and recently installed Oracle 11g. I read the post here on selecting all tables from user_tables. I'm trying to select a specific table and following some of the suggestions in the post does not appear to work.
The following executes fine and returns all tables available to me including a table named faculty_t:
select * from user_tables;
select * from dba_tables;
select * from all_tables;
desc faculty_t;
But I get error when I do the following:
select * from user_tables where table_name = FACULTY_T;
The first set of statements confirm that I do have a table named faculty_t. However, trying to select this table from user_tables, all_tables, or dba_tables does not appear to work for me right now. The error message reads something like:
ORA-00904: "FACULTY_T": invalid identifier
00904. 00000 - "%s: invalid identifier"
*Cause:
*Action:
Error at Line: 208 Column: 8
Any thoughts? Thanks!
String literals in SQL are wrapped in '. So:
select * from user_tables where table_name = 'FACULTY_T';
When you did a desc faculty_t, the SQL engine knew that a table name was expected at that spot (the syntax expects a table name there). But in your select query, sql is just looking for the value of a column that happens to have a string data type, so you need to use the ' for a string literal.
I need to be able to reconstruct a table column by using the column data in DBA_TAB_COLUMNS, and so to develop this I need to understand what each column refers to. I'm looking to understand what DATA_TYPE_MOD is -- the documentation (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/statviews_2094.htm#I1020277) says it is a data type modifier, but I can't seem to find any columns with this field populated or any way to populate this field with a dummy column. Anyone familiar with this field?
Data_type_mod column of the [all][dba][user]_tab_columns data dictionary view gets populated when a column of a table is declared as a reference to an object type using REF datatype(contains object identifier(OID) of an object it points to).
create type obj as object(
item number
) ;
create table tb_1(
col ref obj
)
select t.table_name
, t.column_name
, t.data_type_mod
from user_tab_columns t
where t.table_name = 'TB_1'
Result:
table_name column_name data_type_mod
-----------------------------------------
TB_1 COL REF
Oracle has a PL/SQL package that can be used to generate the DDL for creating a table. You would probably be better off using this.
See GET_DDL on http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_metada.htm#i1019414

How can I view the code of a stored procedure using sqlplus for Oracle 10g?
When I type in:
desc daily_update;
it shows me the parameter, but when I try to do the following:
select * from all_source where name = 'daily_update';
I get
no rows selected
What am I doing wrong?
check your casing, the name is typically stored in upper case
SELECT *
FROM all_source
WHERE name = 'DAILY_UPDATE'
ORDER BY TYPE, LINE;
