Column name- desc

hi gems..
cant i use DESC as a column name???
when i was trying to create a table having one of the column name DESC VARCHAR2(250) , then it got failed with invalid identifier error..

No, you cannot use "DESC" as it is a reserve word.
SQL> create table t (desc varchar2(100));
create table t (desc varchar2(100))
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00904: : invalid identifier

Can I create a view based on two tables that have the same column name?

I have two tables A and B. Each table has 50+ columns.
I want to create a view that includes all the columns in A and all the columns in B. I created a view with a select statement that says
Select A.*, B.*
From A, B
where A.id = B.id
It returns an error because in each table I have a column that keeps track if a record has been changed called Modified_By. That's where it chokes up on I figure. I would like to write the view without explicitly writing each column name from A and B as part of the select statement. The actual select statement works fine and only bombs when trying to turn the select statement into a view.

You will have to type the full column list at least once. You can save a few keystrokes (i.e. alias. on every column) by providing the column names to the CREATE part instead of in the SELECT part. Something like:
SQL> desc t
Name                                      Null?    Type
ID                                                 NUMBER
NAME                                               VARCHAR2(10)
SQL> desc t1
Name                                      Null?    Type
T_ID                                               NUMBER
LOC_ID                                             NUMBER
NAME                                               VARCHAR2(15)
SQL> CREATE VIEW t_v (id, t_name, t_id, loc_id, t1_name) AS
2 SELECT t.*, t1.*
3 FROM t, t1
4 WHERE t.id = t1.t_id;

Column name in user_ind_columns, all_ind_columns

The oracle data dictionary seems to assign a new system generated name (for example 'SYS_NC00008$') to index columns where the descend value = 'DESC';
SQL> select index_name, index_owner, column_name, descend from all_ind_columns
where descend = 'DESC';
INDEX_NAME INDEX_OWNER
COLUMN_NAME
DESC
MY_INDEX MY_OWNER
SYS_NC00008$
DESC
1 row selected.
is there a way to get the proper column name through a join to another table?
This is what I tried
SQL> select a.index_name, a.index_owner, a.table_name, b.column_name, a.descend
from all_ind_columns a, user_tab_columns b
where a.table_name = b.table_name and a.column_name = b.column_name and a.descend = 'DESC';
no rows selected
Is this fixed in 9i?
Thanks in advance,
David Wilson.

I get exactly the same results in both 9.0.1 and 9.2.0, so it is unchanged in 9i. However, it is not a bug, so it will not be fixed. The reason you get the system generated name with a DESC index is that Oracle implements it as a function based index.
If you really need the "real" column name, it is in the default$ column of sys.col$.
I suppose you could add that column to a custom version of the xxx_ind_columns views if you really needed it.

Unknown column name: annee

Hi,
I have a error message.
My request is good but in my program java, annee is a unknown column name.
SELECT DISTINCT round(wbdate/10000,0) AS annee FROM EUROF400.FICLIB.IE02 WHERE WBETAT=:etat ORDER BY annee DESC
String l_annee=mod.getIe0211().getBigDecimal("annee").toString();
Thanks in advance

SELECT DISTINCT round(wbdate/10000,0) AS annee FROM
EUROF400.FICLIB.IE02 WHERE WBETAT=:etat ORDER BY annee
DESC
There are some JDBC drivers which will not return the column alias.
String
l_annee=mod.getIe0211().getBigDecimal("annee").toString
);I'd be carefull with that. If getBigDecimal returns null (because wbdate is null) then you'll get a NullPointerException.
mod.getIe0211().getString(1) is probably the safest way to do it.

Dual Case Column names fail in select ORDER BY clause

This one is solved, but I thought someone might be able to explain why it happens.
I'm a newbie, since I just downloaded Oracel XE last night, and am trying it out.
I set up a trivial table with 4 text columns. As it happened, I used dual case for some of my column names, such as 'Nickname'.
When trying out the Query Builder, the Select statement failed whenever I added a sort.
After some head scratching and back-and-forth with the sample data base (HR), I finally renamed all the columns to upper case. (e.g. column 'Nickname' became 'NICKNAME'). Then it works.
Seems like a bug, but maybe it's just a feature. Here's the code generated by the Query Builder. As you can see, there are no quotes around the Table name or column names in the ORDER BY clause (and the dual case version of the column name works if I put the quotes in manually and run it with SQL command.) Seems quirky.
select     "TEAMS"."NICKNAME" as "NICKNAME",
     "TEAMS"."CITY" as "CITY",
     "TEAMS"."DIVISION" as "DIVISION",
     "TEAMS"."CONFERENCE" as "CONFERENCE"
from     "TEAMS" "TEAMS"
order by TEAMS.NICKNAME ASC

Welcome to forum. :)
Now, answering your question - no i don't think this is a bug.
It is your code - which create this bug.
Now, question is - what happen?
Just check your select and from clause. You put all the names are in double quote. When you put anything within double quotes - it become a case sensitive. So, the problem occurs there.
Let's see ->

How To Create Table View With Same Column name But Different Table?

Hi All,
I have the problem to create a tableview with same column name but in different table.
The Table that i have:-
Table - PAC051MPROFORMA
Column - mrn,visitid
Table - PAC051TPROFORMA
Column - mrn,visitid
Table - PAC052MTRANSBILL
Column - mrn,visitid
Then i want to create a table view to view that table. This is my SQL
CREATE VIEW pacviewproforma (mrn,visitid,mrn,visitid,mrn,visitid)
As Select PAC051MPROFORMA.mrn,PAC051MPROFORMA.visitid,PAC051TPROFORMA.mrn,PAC051TPROFORMA.visitid,PAC052MTRANSBILL.mrn,PAC052MTRANSBILL.visitid
where
*(a.PAC051MPROFORMA.mrn=PAC051TPROFORMA.mrn)*
and
*(a.PAC051TPROFORMA.mrn=PAC052TRANSBILL.mrn)*
That SQL Return this error = ORA-00957: duplicate column name
Then I modify that SQL to
CREATE VIEW pacviewproforma (mrn,visitid)
As Select PAC051MPROFORMA.mrn,PAC051MPROFORMA.visitid,PAC051TPROFORMA.mrn,PAC051TPROFORMA.visitid,PAC052MTRANSBILL.mrn,PAC052MTRANSBILL.visitid
where

and
*(a.PAC051TPROFORMA.mrn=PAC052TRANSBILL.mrn)*
This time this error return = ORA-01730: invalid number of column names specified
What should i do?

Rename column name of a table

Hi Guys,
I want to rename the column name of a table. Lets say I have table employee:
SQL> desc emp;
Name Null? Type
EMPNO NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
ENAME VARCHAR2(10)
JOB VARCHAR2(9)
MGR NUMBER(4)
HIREDATE DATE
SAL NUMBER(7,2)
COMM NUMBER(7,2)
DEPTNO NUMBER(2)
STARS VARCHAR2(8)
I want to change the name of the cloumn name of ENAME to EMPNAME so that structure looks like this:
SQL> desc emp;
Name Null? Type
EMPNO NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
EMPNAME VARCHAR2(10)
JOB VARCHAR2(9)
MGR NUMBER(4)
HIREDATE DATE
SAL NUMBER(7,2)
COMM NUMBER(7,2)
DEPTNO NUMBER(2)
STARS VARCHAR2(8)
Can anyone tell me any statement or way to solve this problem. Please keep in mind that I will not delete the table or create another column name of EMPNAME and copy the data from ENAME to EMPNAME.
Regds,
Debabrata

ALTER TABLE DEPT2 RENAME COLUMN ENAME TO EMPNAME

Invalid column name - fixed by inserting a carriage return - Why?

I'm writing some JSP pages and am executing a statement that retrieves values from three tables.
When executing the statement I receive the error
java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column name
I just want to state here that ALL the column names are definitely correct. I attempted to isolate the problem using my SQL*Plus Interface.
When copying and pasting the SQL that was used (I put the SQL statement into the HTML to allow me to do this) into SQL*Plus it also come up with the error. I found that if I broke up the statement it would run. Specifically if I placed a carriage return (by hitting enter) prior to the 'A' of the AND operator and then copied and pasted into SQL*Plus it would work!
I thought the problem was related to bad syntax in the outer join operator. But removal of the outer join operator and making it a EQUI JOIN situation still gave the same results. I tried the use of brackets to 'help' the DB engine figure it out - silly I know, but it didn't work anyway :(
I've tried this out on UNIX in SQL*Plus where the query was on one line and it worked fine. I've tried it on Oracle 8.1.5 SQL*Plus & Oracle 8.1.7 SQL*Plus on Win2000 and WinNT and no go.
It has also been tested on an Oracle 7.3.4 DB and no go either.
Remember I'm only using SQL*Plus to find out why it is not working - I'm actually attempting to execute this via JDBC (classes12.zip Oracle9 version) in my JavaBean. I can't place a carriage return to 'fix' the problem, and I'm assuming that I shouldn't either.
I've pasted the SQL below (both non-working and working versions). I was going to paste the output of DESC on the associated tables should you too would rule out a mispelled column name, but I didn't want to put anyone off with a long post.
If you can provide any advice I would be very appreciative.

Ok. I feel ashamed that the answer was so simple and not the
problem I thought it was. But in the interests of perhaps
preventing someone else doing the same silly thing....
The error was caused by using a wrong name when 'getting' the
values int the return ResultSet object. (eg using getString
("s.Some_Name") when it should have been getString
("s.Another_Name").
Interestingly the error did occur in one of our SQL*Plus
versions. Why we still are not sure, but since this was a silly
error on my part, I'm sure a similarly silly reason will be the
cause there two.
I appreciate those who responded though. It is a great resource.
Darren James
I'm just guessing here, but could it be some sort of a size thing? Could it be that, if you don't break up line 2, somehow
it gets truncated or wrapped at an inappropriate place? To test
this theory, you might try putting the carriage return in front
of the ORDER BY, instead of in front of the AND, and see if it
has the same effect. If you do get it figured out, please
satisfy our curiosity and let us know.

Invalid Column Name message in the subquery

Hi All, I am receiving the invalid column name message in the subquery. Please help me if there is any work around or change in the query:
Sample query:
update table1 set table1.column1 =
(Select column1 from
(Select column1 from table2 where
table1.columnX = table2.columnX
order by table2.columnM desc,table2.ColumnN desc,
where rownum =1)
When i run the above query i am receiving the following error message:
ORA-00904:invalid column name at table1.columnx.
This column is already existing in table1 and looks like this table is not recoginzed inside of the subquery.
I am trying to update table1.column1 using the first value from table2 after ordering by table2.columnM desc, table2.columnN desc. (ColumnM and ColumnN are the Date columns which i need to perform the sorting). I am new to sql/Plsql. Thanks in Advance for help....

The problem is that you can not refer to columns from the outer table from inside a second subquery inside your subquery. Only one level of subquery can be used to transport the column name,.
A solution can be to use groups and aggregation functions instead of rownum = 1.
The following might work.
untested
update table1
set table1.column1 =
(Select max(column1) keep (dense_rank first over table2.columnM desc,table2.ColumnN desc)
   from table2
   where table1.columnX = table2.columnX
   ) Another way can be to to make a UNCORRELATED subquery first and then filter on that uncorrelated query with the column name from the outer statement.
This time I use a analytic function.
untested
update table1 u
set u.column1 = (select v1.column1
   from
     (Select t2.column1, t2.columnX, row_number over (partition by t2.column1, t2.columnX order by t2.columnM desc,t2.ColumnN desc) as rn
      from table2
      ) v1
   where v1.columnX = u.columnX
   and v1.rn = 1
where /* where clause is missing! */

View of tables with double column names

Hello,
my problem is that in my database schema the name of the primary-key-column in one table has the same name as the corresponding foreign key-column in another table. Now i want to create a view of those two tables and get an error (double column names).
Is there any chance to avoid this error without rename all my column names (cause this happens many many times)?
Thanks for any help.
Christoph

Hi,
In SQL you cas prefix the column with its data container. Use this and it'll be OK. This is not an error, it's expected and absolutely normal behaviour.
SQL> desc dual
Name Null? Type
DUMMY VARCHAR2(1)
SQL> select D1.DUMMY, D2.DUMMY
2 FROM DUAL D1, DUAL D2
3 WHERE D1.DUMMY = D2.DUMMY;

Crystal Reports XI: Invalid column name error

Hello!
I have a crystal report using a SQL command that is getting the following error (occasionally):
Failed to retrieve data from the database.
Details: ADO Error Code: 0x80040e14
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Description: Invalid column name 'IPCSKUGroup'.
SQL State: 42S22
Native Error: 207 [Database Vendor Code: 207]
I say occasionally because if i go to Database>> Log on or Log off server and log off the target server and then rerun the report, it will work. If i refresh the report with different parameters, i get the error.
I'm running Crystal Reports XI version 11.0.0.1282 on Windows XP SP2 32-bit. The data is in a SQL Server 2000 database.
This is the portion of the query causing the problem:
(drop/clear temp tables and initiallize a few variables with parameters)
(...other queries putting together the temp table #WorkingTotals) - This part works fine because the report runs if i remove the following portion.
select wtt.QtrMax,QuarterName,Year,wtt.IPCSKUGroup as IPCSKUNum,ServicePriceSuggested,PcsBilled,BilledRevenue,PriceIndex,StdRevenue,
(select sum(TT.BilledRevenue) from
(select Top 4 wt2.BilledRevenue
from #WorkingTotals2 wt2
where wt2.IPCSKUGroup = wtt.IPCSKUGroup and wt2.QtrMax <= wtt.QtrMax order by wt2.QtrMax desc)as TT)
as M12Revenue
from #WorkingTotals wtt
The entire query works fine when I run it in SQL Query Analyzer. But Crystal has an issue with the way i'm figuring the M12Revenue field. The M12Revenue is a moving 12 month revenue which is the sum of the revenue for the past 4 quarters for each quarter.
This is what i've tried thus far:
Putting the entire query into a stored procedure
Storing what gets stored in #WorkingTotals into a database table rather than a temp one
Renaming columns to various different things.
Each of those still resulted in the error.
Thanks for the help!!!

Hi Wes,
What does SQL Profiler show you when the error happens?
Try using ODBC to see if it also errors, may be an issue in MS's MDAC and the OLE DB driver. MS usually updates MDAC with all Patches but you may want to verify you are using the latest version.
Thank you
Don
