Case expression and ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes

I m trying to use the following case condition
select
case
when
count(exception.exception_number) > 1
then 0
else
ENTITY_TYPE_DEF.NAME
end as NAME
In table exception , exception_number has a varchar2 datatype. My requirement is such as if the count of exception number is more than 1 , it should show 0 (integer ) and if not then show name column (varchar2) from table entity_type_def .
My query fails with following error
ERROR at line 7:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got CHAR
Please could someone suggest a workaround for above issue.

Whatever is the data type of the first case result, it expects all case results to be the same. The first part of your CASE returns 0 which is a number, it expects the second part to also return a number but it returns a string. Hence the error. You can fix it by returning a string in the first part of your case which you do by putting single quotes around your 0.
CASE WHEN count(exception.exception_number) > THEN '0'
ELSE entity_type_def.name END

[8i] Case statement generates ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes

Note: I am working with an 8i database (yes, it is quite old), and in this situation, I have to deal with the datatypes (i.e. CHAR), I am given to work with.
I am attempting to calculate the amount of time product waits between manufacturing steps. As I've discovered though, sometimes I get a negative value when subtracting the date the previous step completes from the date the current step starts. As it is generally impossible to start a later step before an earlier step (imagine trying to screw a cap onto a bottle that doesn't have threads cut yet--it just can't happen), what I've found is that sometimes two steps are started on the same day and finished on the same day (though not necessarily the day they started). This situation CAN happen when one person did both steps and logged on to both steps at the same time, rather than logging on to one, then the other. So, what I need to do in these situations is replace the negative number with a zero (I'll treat the later step as having no wait time).
Here is some sample data:
(Note: the real data set is the result of a query, and has around 200K rows and more columns, but this should be representative enough to find a solution that works on my actual application.)

I think it has something to do with the NULL values that can occur for last_step_finished. Also, if I change the case statement to:
,     CASE
          WHEN     start_dt - last_step_finished     < 0
          THEN     NULL
          ELSE     start_dt - last_step_finished -- THIS LINE GENERATES THE ORA-00932 ERROR
     END     the query runs just fine. But, I don't want NULL, I want 0. In the next level of this query, I will be taking averages by item_id/step_nbr, and I want the 0's to be included in the average. (NULL values, as far as I can tell, would be excluded. AVG(NULL, 1, 2) =AVG (1,2) = 1.5 NOT AVG(0,1,2) = 1).
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, TO_NUMBER did the trick. Since you didn't state in your post where to use TO_NUMBER, here is my final solution, in case anyone in the future looks through this thread to find an answer to their question:

          THEN     0
          ELSE     TO_NUMBER(start_dt - last_step_finished)
     END                         AS days_in_queue

I see you edited your post to add TO_NUMBER to it.

Help with error select case statement (ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes)

Hi,
I'm struggling to get my sql query work on Oracle..
I have a table MyTable with 5 columns ( Column1, Column2, Column3, Column4, Column5 ) all are of type NVARCHAR2.
I need to check whether Column 3, Column 4 are empty or not in that order..and if they values then I wanna append it to Column2.
For example
If a row contains the following values,
Column 2 = a.b
Column 3 = 123
Column 4 = xyz
then column CA = a.b/123/xyz where column CA = temp column
If either Column 3 or Column 4 is empty/null, then I don't need to append value for that column..
For example
Column 2 = a.b
Column 3 = either NULL or ''
Column 4 = xyz
then CA = a.b/xyz where column CA = temp column
similarly..
Column 2 = a.b
Column 3 = 123
Column 4 = either NULL or ''
then CA = a.b/123 where column CA = temp column
Here is my query..
select MyTable.Column1 as CA0,
MyTable.Column2 as CA1,
MyTable.Column3 as CA2,
MyTable.Column4 as CA3,
MyTable.Column5 as CA4,
MyTable.Column2 + CASE WHEN MyTable.Column3 > '' THEN '/' + MyTable.Column3 ELSE '' END + CASE WHEN MyTable.Column4 > '' THEN '/' + MyTable.Column4 ELSE '' END CA
from MyTable;
This query works just fine against SQL Server db, but gainst Oracle I'm getting
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got CHAR
00932. 00000 - "inconsistent datatypes: expected %s got %s"
Could you please let me know what I'm doing wrong. I need to get this query working on both SQL Server and Oracle..
Please let me know your suggestions and thoughts..
Cheers,

I need to check whether Column 3, Column 4 are empty or not in that order..and if they values then I wanna append it to Column2. In Oracle, you can do it this way - no need to do all kinds of difficult things:
select col2||col3||col4

You have two different objects (one for localuser and one for scott) which you might think are identical but they are not. Basically it is the same as
SQL> create or replace type test_t as table of varchar2 (20)
Type created.
SQL> create table test_tab (id      number, name    test_t, location varchar2 (100))
nested table name store as nested_tab
   return as value
Table created.
SQL> create or replace type test2_t as table of varchar2 (20)
Type created.
SQL> create table test2_tab (id      number, name    test2_t, location varchar2 (100))
nested table name store as nested2_tab
   return as value
Table created.
SQL> insert into test_tab
values   (1, test_t (1, 2, 3), 'some location')
1 row created.
SQL> insert into test2_tab
     select   * from test_tab
insert into test2_tab
     select   * from test_tab
Error at line 21
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got MICHAEL.TEST_T
SQL> insert into test2_tab
     select   id, cast(name as test2_t), location from test_tab
1 row created.As shown, the insert succeeds (at least on 11g) when casting the type to the table's type.
In your case I'd try
insert into test_tab select id, cast(name as localuser.test_t) location from scott.test_tab

Are there multiple columns in the table you are using from your LOV?
Your LOV select is:
select

where FINISH_TIME >= :P1_START_DATE
and FINISH_TIME < :P1_END_DATE
     AND RFA_FLAG = (CASE :P1_JOB_CLASSIFICATION WHEN '0' THEN 'LSF'

                                  ELSE RFA_FLAG END)Maybe try this:

and FINISH_TIME < :P1_END_DATE
     AND TO_CHAR(RFA_FLAG) = DECODE(:P1_JOB_CLASSIFICATION,'0','LSF','1','NON-LSF',RFA_FLAG)

Why do I get this error? ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes

This is my stored procedure I've created to select only the exact amount of records per page for a GridView (for ASP.NET):

|| to_char((pPageIndex+1)*pTotalRecs)
INTO pResultSet;
-- Plus 1 to our index because GridView is a zeroth index collection
END SELECT_COMMAND;I then do a test case with the following paremeters:
declare
p_test sys_refcursor;
begin
select_command('v_sig_devices', '"JOB", "LINE"', '"DEVICE_ID"', 0, 10, p_test);
end;But I get the following error:

At first Oracle gave me an error because the numbers were not a string. Then I convert them into a string (with to_char) and Oracle is still not happy! Any ideas as to why this is happening?
Thanks for any help that you can provide.

You don't select into ref cursors, you open them:
SQL> create table t(c varchar2(1));
Table created.
SQL> insert into t values ('a');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into t values ('b');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into t values ('c');

Wondering if you could assist? I'm exploring User Types and having a small problem. I'm getting the above error for a user type I have created which I'm calling in a function. Here's what my code looks like which I'm running the 'scott' schema for testing purposes

Any clues to what I'm doing wrong? Cheers.

The deptno column is a number, you cannot directly select a number into your type, you need to use your type's constructor.
Something like:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION first_rec_only (NUM_ID IN NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER IS
   v_num NBR_COLL;
BEGIN
   SELECT nbr_coll(deptno) INTO v_num from dept;
   RETURN v_num(v_num.FIRST);
END first_rec_only;Note that although this will compile, it will throw ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows when you run it. you need to either use the input parameter as a predicate on your query against dept, use rownum = 1 in the query or use bulk BULK COLLECT INTO, depending on what exactly you want to accomplish.

ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got - In 11g, WORKS in 9i!

Hello,
Involved in migration of a 9i database to 11g, R2. One of our procedures works in 9i but in 11g gives us "ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got - "
We tracked down the error in a statement where oracle does a fetch into a sys_refcursor. The fetch happens on a dynamically constructed select statement ( built by varchar concatenation).
The select statement selects 3 fields, but the fetch into passes 2 variables to the fetch statement. This causes ORA-00932 in 11g R2, but works in 9i.
Below is a modified procedure we built to demonstrate the problem. if you compile and test, you will see that the procedure runs in 9i but not 11g.
create or replace procedure testORA00932 is
v_now date;
v_fsqltext varchar2(2000);
v_curs sys_refcursor;
begin
v_fsqltext := 'select sysdate, sysdate+1 from dual'; -- select 2 fields
open v_curs for v_fsqltext;
loop
fetch v_curs into v_now; -- fetch 1 field, this statement fails in 11g (ORA-00932), works in 9i
dbms_output.put_line(v_now);
exit when v_curs%notfound;
end loop;
close v_curs;
end;
Is there a compatibility flag we can turn on to resove this problem?

After researching this a little more, this is a know bug to oracle: Bug 4381035
According to Oracle, the only available workaround is to provide the same number of define variables as columns in the SELECT statement.

could you please pointed out whether ref cursor used method correct or not?

The use looks correct but without your tables and DDL we can't even try to reproduce the problem.
Notice how you had to break down the process to find out the query that is causing the problem?
select *
from TABLE(pkg_mkt_hub_load.fnc_pipe_tot_lvl_idx_mon_hub(CURSOR(SELECT . . .Unfortunately, this is where you should have started when you began creating the process.
You are trying to design, implement and debug a process using code that has 3,4, 5 or more layers and objects and tables that have a dozen or more columns.
That is not the way I would recommend especially if you do not have experience with some of the pieces like object types and tables, pipelined functions and ref cursors. You are trying to deal with too many complications at the same time.
Here is how I would approach this if I were you.
1. Get the process to work first and then build on it. Start by copying and hacking up what you already have.
2. Create a very simple version of each of the pieces
3. Create an object type like 'tot_lvl_idx_mon_ot' with only one or two columns.
4. Create an object type like 'tot_lvl_idx_mon_tt' as a table of that simple object type
5. Create a pipelined function that uses the two new simple types, simply hard-codes a value for one or two rows and then pipes out the rows.
6. Use a simple query like the last one you posted to query the simple pipelined function
select *
from TABLE(pkg_mkt_hub_load.simpe_pipeline_function(CURSOR(SELECT . . .Work on that simple set of objects until you have the process defined and working.
Then expand the now working example to use get the data values dynamically and to use more complicated objects.
Start with something simple that works. Then build on it.
It will take a lot less time and will point out other issues with your approach to this. Also, if you try a simple version using the SCOTT emp or dept table and it doesn't work you can post the code and we can try to reproduce it and help find the problem.

ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CURSER

Hi all,
I created a Function and tried to execute it from SQL Plus, but am getting an error
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CURSER
I have been trying to debug for ages, but cant get to the root of what the problem might be. I would appreciate any help or idea's people could offer
The only comfort I take from this is that Oracle have a typo in one of their error messages :)

ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected %s got %sSomewhere (As you dint give us much to work with) you are using a incorrect datatype. For example Something that expects date and you pass number you will get this error.
Can anyone please help me with this.No, with what ever you have supplied its hard to help. Give us more details.

ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got LONG

Hi,
I am facing problem while issuing the command:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got LONG
SELECT TEXT FROM USER_VIEWS WHERE TEXT LIKE '%ASCII%'
Any help will be needful for me
Thanks and Regards

Please go through this
If you try to search a LONG column, this is what will happen:
SQL> select record_no, comments
2 from long_demo
3 where
4 comments like '%LONG%';
comments like '%LONG%'
ERROR at line 4:
ORA-00932: inconsistent data types
That's right; you can't search the contents of a LONG column. Here's what happens if you try to apply a function to a LONG column.
SQL> select record_no, substr(comments,1,5)
2 from long_demo;
select record_no, substr(comments,1,5)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00932: inconsistent data types
Again, Oracle won't enable you to apply a function to a LONG column. In a sense, you can think of a LONG column as a large container into which you can store or retrieve data--;but not manipulate it.

ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected DATE got NUMBER at OCI call OCIStmtExecute in OBIEE 11g

Hi Friends,
I am getting this error : ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected DATE got NUMBER at OCI call OCIStmtExecute when I am trying to put the filter condition on the date column.
"Dim-Time"."Day" <= cast(MAX("Dim-Time"."Day") as date) and "Dim-Time"."Day" >= TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH, -1,cast(MAX("Dim-Time"."Day") as date).
I have casted the max date but though I am getting the above error. I am thinking max(date) is creating the problem.
Please suggest your on opinion this.
Thanks.

Not sure why you need cast in your statement if at all it is required then you need to do as below
cast("Dim-Time"."Day" as date)<= cast(MAX("Dim-Time"."Day") as date) and cast("Dim-Time"."Day" as date) >= TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH, -1,cast(MAX("Dim-Time"."Day") as date).
