Pl/sql function replying invalid number error

Hi,
I don't know if it's the late hour or I'm just missing something...
I wrote a very simple function which is compiling, but returning ORA error 017222 - nvalid number, every time it's executed...
Please let me know what am I missing...
Thanks!
create or replace

do NOT rely on implicit datatype conversion
use TO_CHAR or TO_NUMBER as needed.
HOME & HOME_GOALS are different datatype

Pl/SQL is prompting "invalid number" error

Hello Sir/Madam,
I'm not very clear why pl/sql cursor is prompting "invalid number" error.
I need to load single as well as multi Gas meter data for an automation process. The procedure is loading single meter data fine, but when I add multi meter data to that table it is halting and prompting "invalid number". I made sure that each record is unique. Define primary key based on three field ( they are: SERVICEPOINTID, METERID, and ENDDATE )
in the sample file, they are in that order

To_number function and the "invalid number" error

Dear all,
I have searched the forum for threads relating to the ORA-01722: invalid number error, could not find the answer I am looking for.
What I was trying to do was
select * from table1 where to_number(field1) > 1000
field1 is a varchar2 data type.
I tried all sorts of things i.e using fmt, nls params as defined in the documentation, nothing worked.
Though the practical problem was solved by
select * from table1 where field1 > '1000'
I would still like to know why this error occurs. Can someone help ?
Regards
Crusoe

I think the database engine should simply return the rows that successfully convert to number and meet the where condition Oracle does not work in that way ;)
Then try this...
Just you need to add the below where clause to your source query. as this will retrieve only the number, to_number should work without any problem.
But still you have to create a subquery to escape the invalid number error.

Invalid Number Error in IR search bar.

Hi,
I am getting an invalid number error when i put a value in search bar without selecting the column name.
I followed ' "Invalid number" error using Interactive Report search on collection' thread and accordingly
1) Purged User preferences and session state.
2) Cleared browser settings and cache.
3) Deleted old region and Created a new region on the page with the same query.
If I select a column and search it works fine but when I just give an arrangement id which looks like 'ARR12345' directly in search bar it throws Invalid Number.
This is working perfectly fine in other environments which is replica of this one.
I also ran Apex util function to remove sort preferences.
Also my report is a very simple report like select * from a,b where a.id = b.id.
Please help me. This is a production issue.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards
Garima

TO_NUMBER getting invalid number error

I want to use TO_NUMBER function to converse some float number,
but the following query always gets invalid number error:
select to_number('12.1073') from dual;
but if I add the format in, it runs as expected:
select to_number('12.1073', '99.9999') from dual;
From the syntax, the format parameter is optional, is it only optional for integers?
Thanks!

Same here.
So, or you replace dot by comma, or you change the territory (or nls_numeric_characters) defined for your session :

select to_number('12.1073') from dual

This error occurs when you try to create a materialized view , but if you run the sql the results are perfectly fine. Well it happend to me also and to fix this I made sure all the coulmns have the same data type which are used in joins or in where clause.
use
where
to_number(col1)=to_number(col2) and to_number(col3)=to_number(col4)
hope this helps..

Invalid number error for bind dialog

Oracle SQL Developer version 1.1.2.25 BUILD MAIN-25.79
Running under WinXP
Issue description:
We get an invalid number error when bind variable filled with an enter in the bind dialog

It is hard to say what is causing your problem without the specifics (ie query and value entered for the bind variable). Try running the same statement with the value of the bind variable in place of the bind variable (ie instead of running "select * from dual where dummy = :var" with a value of 'x' for :var, run "select * from dual where dummy = 'x'"). If you get the same error, then it is not an issue with the use of bind variables.
Be aware that currently you cannot define the data type of bind variables (unlike TOAD, etc) and they are all treated as character values. I wouldn't have thought that this would cause you problem unless you are using a bind variable to restrict a numeric column to a specific value and you are entering a non-numeric bind (ie "select * from people where person_id = :id" and using 'xyz' as the value for :id).

How to determine offending column in ORA-01722: invalid number error ...

When an error like
ORA-01722: invalid number error
occurs and you are dealing with many columns that could be the 'culprit', does anyone have a method by which
you can quickly determine offending column?

SQL PLus will tell you:
SQL> create table t
2 (col1 number
3 ,col2 number
4 ,col3 number
5 ,col4 number
6 ,col5 number
7 );
Table created.
SQL> create table x
2 (col1 varchar2(10)
3 ,col2 varchar2(10)
4 ,col3 varchar2(10)
5 ,col4 varchar2(10)
6 ,col5 varchar2(10)
7 );
Table created.
SQL> insert into x values ('1','2','x','4','5');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into t(col1,col2,col3,col4,col5)
2 select col1,col2,col3,col4,col5 from x;
select col1,col2,col3,col4,col5 from x
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-01722: invalid numberAnd if you rearrange your sql like this, sql plus will give you the line number of the offending column:
SQL> insert into t
2 (col1
3 ,col2
4 ,col3
5 ,col4
6 ,col5
7 )
8 select col1
9        ,col2

This is my test sp where i am getting ORA-01722: invalid number error.
Which is because the column data type is Number of ID and i have sInNum parameter as varchar2.. How can i achieve this ?
I don't have other way to do this please help.

Great demonstration for SQL INJECTION, was that part of your OCP training?
CREATE TABLE mtest (id NUMBER, mname VARCHAR2(255));

BEGIN
   mnum := REPLACE (sinnum, '''', '');
   strsql :=

   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE strsql;
   COMMIT;
   outmsg := 'Success';

END;
SELECT *

        ID MNAME
         1 test
         2 test2And now for the fun part:
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON

Ora-01722 invalid number error within view

Hi, in my oracle 9.2.0.4.0 db, under TEST schema i've a view called PRODUTTIVITA_LINEE. I'm trying to create another view joining PRODUTTIVITA_LINEE with a table called LINEE. But when i execute the select (SELECT PRODUTTIVITA_LINEE.*, LINEE.NAME FROM PRODUTTIVITA_LINEE, LINEE WHERE PRODUTTIVITA_LINEE.LINEA_ID = LINEE.LINEA_ID), i obtain the ORA-01722 invalid number error.
But if i create a table PRODUTTIVITA_SUPPORT as select all fields from PRODUTTIVITA_LINEE and i use it in the new query (SELECT PRODUTTIVITA_SUPPORT.*, LINEE.NAME FROM PRODUTTIVITA_SUPPORT, LINEE WHERE PRODUTTIVITA_SUPPORT.LINEA_ID = LINEE.LINEA_ID), all works.
Using the view, the new query doesn't work, but using the same data toke from a table instead of view, all works. Why?

Excuse me but i send modified script. Here the original script of object.

Find the Column Name which gives Invalid Number Error

Hi,
There are about 150 columns in a table and data to this table is from a external source like flat file. when these data are loaded to the table for a particular column it gives Invalid Number Error. So need to find for Which Numeric Column a String Value is about to be inserted.
since we are sure not whether the proper Values are coming from Source in Front End we pass the Value within ' quotes.
So how do we get the Column for which the error is raised :-)

If you are using SQL*Loader, the log will tell you which row and column has the error.
Otherwise you may need to code your own debugging statements.

Invalid Number Error in Merge Statement

Hi all.
I got an invalid number error in the following merge statement, but I don't know why. Maybe you can give me a hint.
MERGE INTO wam_table
USING (SELECT * FROM wam_table) b
ON (b.username = 'user'
AND b.mod = 'module'
AND b.trimester = '1')
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE SET as = '1', ad = '1', co = '1', pr = '1', date = localtimestamp, lus = 'username'
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT VALUES ('user','module','1','1','1','1','1', localtimestamp, 'username');
The invalid number error appears in the first line, but I don't know why?

Invalid Number Error for Decimal Field While Loading Data

I am loading a delimited text file using the SQL* loader however I am reciving an error in my decimal fields. When a decimal field only has leading zeros before the decimal point I receive invalid number error. Below will clarify:
i.e.) 00000000.30 [*Invalid number*]
i.e.) 00046567.45 [*Valid number*]
i.e.) 00000001.00 [*Valid number*]
I've tried setting the precision/scale in the table, tried declaring it a decimal field instead of number, none of these methods fixed the issue. Any help I would really appreciate.
POLICY_NUMBER             NUMBER,
EFFECTIVE_DATE     DATE "YYYYMMDD"          NULLIF EFFECTIVE_DATE = '',

TRANSACTION_AMOUNT     DECIMAL EXTERNAL,   -- Tried TRANSACTION_AMOUNT DECIMAL EXTERNAL (10) & TRANSACTION_AMOUNT NUMBER
MF_TRX_CODE          NUMBER,
USER_ID          CHAR,
GROUP_NUMBER          NUMBER,
EXPIRATION_DATE     DATE "YYYYMMDD"          NULLIF EXPIRATION_DATE = '',
BILL_NUMBER          NUMBER,Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks before hand.
