Referring to this oracle website http://docs.oracle.com/javadb/10.4.2.1/ref/rrefblob.html, I tried executing this query (from the abovementioned page)
create table pictures(name varchar(32) not null primary key, pic blob(16M));
I am getting the error
Error starting at line : 1 in command -
create table pictures(name varchar(32) not null primary key, pic blob(16M))
Error report -
SQL Error: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
00907. 00000 - "missing right parenthesis"
*Cause:
*Action:
I am unable to understand where exactly there is a missing parenthesis.
Can anyone explain?
There is no need to specify the size for the blob. Thats why you are getting an error for the missing parenthesis.
This statement would work.
create table pictures(name varchar(32) not null primary key, pic blob);
The oracle doc explains everything clearly.
I am trying to do a very simple thing using the following sample query (can't post the actual query :( )
INSERT INTO Students( id, roll_number, Student_name)
SELECT 1, 2, 'MyName' FROM DUAL;
The ID Column has NOT NULL constraint set. When I execute this query I get the following error:
SQL Error: ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("SCHEMA"."STUDENTS"."ID")
01400. 00000 - "cannot insert NULL into (%s)"
The ID column has datatype NUMBER.
Could anyone help what could be the problem.
Thanks in advance.
What I would do is run the Select part separately, and look at the data that comes back. i.e.
Select First_Field, Second_Field, 'Bob'
From MyTable
Where First_Field = NULL;
What that gives you. You could also do:
Select count(*)
From MyTable
Where coalesce(First_Field,1) =1;
by the way, you said your field is a Numeric, however just FYI. A '' inserted into a varchar2 field gets interpreted as a NULL. Found that out the hard way
Seems like I am creating a habit of answering my own questions...
When I took a closer look into the table I found that there were two ID columns(of course with different names):
One column stores primary key for this table whereas,
other column stores the foreign key as a link to other table.
Thanks everyone for your responses, those made me wonder as to what wrong was I doing.
Thanks a Ton :)
I have the following problem: We have a DB2 Table with a Character Field of the size 4000.
Somehow this field gets interpreted in oracle as varchar2(0 Char) when i view it via Oracle Gateway.
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW DB2SCHEMA.TEST_TABLE
(
ID,
TEXT
)
AS
SELECT TRIM ("ID") AS ID,
NULL AS "TEXT
FROM XT.TEST_TABLE#DB2SCHEMA;
Has anybody ever expirienced this issue? For some reason Oracle will treat this field as long. I'm using Oracle 11g. What i want is to show it as normal text field (in DB2 it is a fixed length character field)
Thanks for some inputs and maybe somebody knows how to get this as a normal Varchar2(4000 Char).
DESC XT.TEST_TABLE#DB2SCHEMA;
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-28500: connection from ORACLE to a non-Oracle system returned this message:

ORA-02063: preceding 2 lines from QDBC
As before the select * from view did provide a 0 character field we have changed an Oracle Parameter
HS_KEEP_REMOTE_COLUMN_SIZE=LOCAL
This provides the correct result with select * from view. My believe is that this is the solution.
I've never used Oracle Gateway or DB2, but any view you create by selecting "null as some_col" is going to define that column as varchar2(0). You're not even referencing the column you're talking about from the DB2SCHEMA (you're selecting NULL, not the TEXT column.
You could try replacing this line:
NULL AS "TEXT
with:
TEXT AS TEXT
or possibly:
SUBSTR(TEXT,1,2000) || SUBSTR(TEXT,2001,4000) AS TEXT
Oracle's maximum size for CHAR columns is 2000, so I'm not sure if you can just select the column directly.
Edit: As per comments, the OP's issue was fixed via changing the Oracle parameter:
HS_KEEP_REMOTE_COLUMN_SIZE=LOCAL
I'm getting an
ORA-00907 error, missing right parenthesis
when attempting to create a table w MySQL.
I have looked extensively on the web but found nothing that could help me here..
Here is my CREATE TABLE statement:
CREATE TABLE station
(
nomStation varchar2(255),
capacite number(15) NOT NULL,
lieu varchar2(255) NOT NULL,
region ENUM('Quebec', 'Ontario', 'NewBrunswick', 'NovaScotia'),
tarif number(10) DEFAULT 0,
CONSTRAINT station_nomStation_pk PRIMARY KEY(nomStation)
);
In my experience, "ORA-00907 error, missing right parenthesis" is usually triggered by a wrong number of commas, like adding an extra comma after your final column or constraint.
However, in your case some googling seems to indicate that Oracle doesn't support the ENUM syntax you're using. Instead, you should use a CHECK, like described in this blog post.
Get the above error when the execute immediate is called in a loop
Update CustomersPriceGroups set 1AO00=:disc Where cuno=:cuno
Parameters: disc=66 cuno=000974
Update CustomersPriceGroups set 1AP00=:disc Where cuno=:cuno
Parameters: disc=70.5 cuno=000974
Update CustomersPriceGroups set 1AQ00=:disc Where cuno=:cuno
Parameters: disc=66 cuno=000974
Update CustomersPriceGroups set 1ZA00=:disc Where cuno=:cuno
Parameters: disc=60 cuno=000974
What does this mean ?
Here is the code fragment
c:=PriceWorx.frcPriceListCustomers('020','221');
LOOP
fetch c into comno,cuno,nama,cpls;
exit when c%notfound;
dbms_output.put_Line(cuno);

check your query for double comma.
insert into TABLE_NAME (COLUMN1, COLUMN2,,COLUMN3) values(1,2,3);
(there is extra comma after COLUMN2).
Update: recently (some people have special talents) i succeed to get same exception with new approach:
update TABLE_NAME set COLUMN1=7, set COLUMN2=8
(second SET is redundant)
Unquoted identifiers must begin with an alphabetic character (see rule 6 here). You're trying to assign a value to a column with a name starting with a number 1AO00, 1AP00 etc.
Without seeing the table definition for CustomersPriceGroups we don't know if it has columns with those names. If it does then they must have been created as quoted identifiers. If so you'll have to refer to them (everywhere) with quotes, which is not ideal - makes the code a bit harder to read, makes it easy to make a mistake like this, and can be hard to spot what's wrong. Even Oracle say, on the same page:
Note: Oracle does not recommend using quoted identifiers for database
object names. These quoted identifiers are accepted by SQL*Plus, but
they may not be valid when using other tools that manage database
objects.
In you code you appear to be using quotes when you assign sQ, but the output you show doesn't; but it doesn't have the saap. schema identifier either. That may be because you're not running the version of the code you think, but might just have been
lost if you retyped the data instead of pasting it - you're not showing the earlier output of c.cuno either. But it's also possible you have, say, the case of the column name wrong.
If the execute is throwing the error, you won't see the command being executed that time around the loop because the debug comes after it - you're seeing the successful values, not the one that's breaking. You need to check all the values being returned by the functions; I suspect that g is returning a value for cpgs that actually isn't a valid column name.
As #ninesided says, showing more information, particularly the full exception message, will help identify what's wrong.
It means that the Oracle parser thinks that one of your columns is not valid. This might be because you've incorrectly referenced a column, the column name is reserved word, or because you have a syntax error in the UPDATE statement that makes Oracle think that something which is not a column, is a column. It would really help to see the full statement that is being executed, the definition of the CustomersPriceGroups table and the full text of the exception being raised, as it will often tell which column is at fault.
if you add a extra "," at the end of the set statement instead of a syntax error, you will get ORA-01747, which is very very odd from Oracle
e.g
update table1
set col1 = 'Y', --this odd 1
where col2 = 123
and col3 = 456
In addition to reasons cited in other answers here, you may also need to check that none of your table column names have a name which is considered a special/reserved word in oracle database.
In my case I had a table column name uid. uid is a reserved word in oracle and therefore I was getting this error.
Luckly, my table was a new table and I had no data in it. I was a able to use oracle DROP table command to delete the table and create a new one with a modified name for the problem column.
I also had trouble with renaming the problem column as oracle wouldn't let me and kept throwing errors.
You used oracle keyword in your SQL statement
And I was writing query like. I had to remove [ and ]
UPDATE SN.TableName
SET [EXPIRY_DATE] = systimestamp + INTERVAL '12' HOUR,
WHERE [USER_ID] ='12345'
We recently moved from SQL Server to Oracle.
The cause may also be when you group by a different set of columns than in select for example:
select tab.a, tab.b, count(*)
from ...
where...
group by tab.a, tab.c;
ORA-01747: invalid user.table.column, table.column, or column
specification
You will get when you miss the column relation when you compare both column id your is will not be the same check both id in your database
Here is the sample Example which I was facing:
UPDATE TABLE_NAME SET APPROVED_BY='1000',CHECK_CONDITION=ID, WHERE CONSUMER_ID='200'
here Issue you will get when 'CHECK_CONDITION' and 'ID' both column id will no same
If both id will same this time your query will execute fine, Check id Id both Column you compare in your code.
For me, the issue was due to use to column name "CLUSTER" which is a reserved word in Oracle. I was trying to insert into the column. Renaming the column fixed my issue.
insert into table (JOB_NAME, VERSION, CLUSTER, REPO, CREATE_TS) VALUES ('abc', 169, 'abc.war', '1.3', 'test.com', 'test', '26-Aug-19 04.27.09.000000949 PM')
Error at Command Line : 1 Column : 83
Error report -
SQL Error: ORA-01747: invalid user.table.column, table.column, or column specification
In my case, I had some.* in count. like count(dr.*)
