Edit Userpreferences getting ORA-01843 not a valid month

Does anyone know what is wrong when editing a APEX User and getting the "ORA-01843 not a valid month".

Hi
I had the same problem. I've changed my language from English to German. Then I tried it again and I could change the permissions of a user. Then I have the language of my workspaces set back to English and I could change all user rights. I hope my answer helps you.
Best regards

  • Getting Ora 01843  not a Valid month Error

    Hi
    I was trying to assign the data in MM/DD/YY format
    from a date value '09/25/2009'..
    I cannot Obain the result i always get this
    ORA-01843: not a valid month
    May i ask you kindly to help me out here.
    Below is the code Snippet;
    DECLARE
    lv_date DATE;
    BEGIN
    lv_date := '09/25/2009';
    BEGIN
    lv_date:= TO_DATE(lv_date,'MM/DD/YY');
    lv_date:= TO_CHAR(lv_date,'MM/DD/YY');
    -- I slso tried this way but same error.
    -- lv_date := TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(lv_date,'MM/DD/YYYY'),'MM/DD/YY');
    END;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('the date format is = '|| lv_date);
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Err from MainBlock '|| SQLCODE || SQLERRM);
    END;

    Hi,
    1)
    lv_date := '09/25/2009';lv_date is a variable of datatype date, but you are assigning a varchar, which Oracle is not able to do implicit conversion because of nls_date_format
    change to something like to_date('09/25/2009','mm/dd/yyyy')
    2)
    lv_date:= TO_DATE(lv_date,'MM/DD/YY');
    lv_date:= TO_CHAR(lv_date,'MM/DD/YY');Why would be assinging a char value to date datatype. Use any one depending on datatype of lv_date

  • Getting ORA-01843 not a valid month on '12/15/2001'

    i'm simply trying to enter data into data which has date columns.
    table
    col1 varchar
    col2 varchar
    col3 date
    insert into table
    (col1,col2,col3)
    values
    ('1','2', '12/14/2001')
    but i receive an error ora-01843, not a valid month, on the statement, but if i substitute the date string with sysdate all works fine.
    what am i missing?

    Always use TO_DATE for dates.
    So instead of '12/14/2001', you should use TO_DATE('12/14/2001', 'MM/DD/YYYY')

  • During impdp getting "ORA-01843: not a valid month"

    Hi everyone ,
    Well I had de same error while I was trying to import my schema to my Development instance(Development intance and Productive intance are in the same Server), so the trick was change in my .profile the parameter NLS_DATE_FORMAT whit the same valua as in DEFAULT COLUMN
    example in my table A I had the column:
    --- fecha DATE  TO_CHAR(DD/MM/YYYY);
    So this was my old .profile
    export NLS_DATE_FORMAT='Mon dd YYYY HH:miAM'
    So then I change my .profile to with this parameter as in the  DEFAULT COLUMN in table A
    So this is my new .profile
    export NLS_DATE_FORMAT='DD/MM/YYYY HH:miAM'
    export NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT='DD/MM/YYYY HH:miAM'
    And it works!
    Important: when you are using impdp tool , look in your profile parameters NOT DATABASE PARAMETERS.
    My server : Proliant G6 -- RHEL 5  -- Oracle 10.2.0
    Regards.

    In general NLS_LANG is not relevant for datapump - unlike the traditional export/import. Exception could be a parameter file, especially when the query option is used.
    I see in the 'create table' statement date format settings like '1899-12-30' ,'YYYY-MM-DD', as a test I would define as environment variable
    export NLS_DATE_FORMAT='YYYY-MM-DD', although I'm not sure whether this helps.

  • Date error ORA-01843: not a valid month

    Hi,
    I am in a 4.01 Apex environment with NLS_DATE_FORMAT     mm/dd/yyyy. I created a view with a CASE statements using 'when eventstartdate between '08/15/2010' and '06/1/2011' then...' clauses and the view is created fine. I also can query the view with no problem with SQL workshop and the CASE statements work as expected. When I create an interactive report on that view I keep getting ORA-01843: not a valid month. I even tried matching the format in the Interactive Report column format mask to the NLS format for the date and still get error.
    What seems especially strange to me is that even if I have the view column defined with a 'to_char' I still get the same error when I use the CASE statement to build the view. Doesn't the Interactive Report just 'see' the View column definitions-- why should it 'care' how the view was built?
    The only way I can get the View to work with an Interactive report in any manner is to remove all the CASE statements and define the 'eventstartdate' as text using to_char but that then eliminates my ability to do any filters that require date comparisons with between or '>', '<'.
    Help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Pat

    Quick late night response - always convert your dates for comparison. Apples to apples
    Instead of between '01/31/2012', use either
    TO_DATE('01/31/2012', 'MM/DD/YYYY')or
    DATE '2012-01-31'More related info

  • ORA-01843 Not a valid month Error

    Dear all,
    We did a database upgrade from 9.2.0.1 to 11gR2 and after that everything is working fine.
    But now we noticed that the users are getting ORA-01843 Not a valid month Error.
    I changed the NLS_DATE_FORMAT in the init.ora file, but still the error persist.
    As a work around I changed the NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD-MM-YYYY on the client pc registry and now its working in that pc..
    Is there any other way so that the change gets affected globally ??
    Any tips
    Thanks in adv,

    MaheshNLS_DATE_FORMAT can be set in multiple places, but it's not an either/or situation. Setting it in an init parm at the db level is the WEAKEST setting. That setting is overridden by the client OS, which in turn can be overridden by an ALTER SESSION, which in turn can be overridden by use of TO_CHAR and TO_DATE at the individual sql statement. and if the date is being entered by a human at a keyboard (actually keyed in, not picked from a calendar tool or some sort of drop-down pick list) you really have no direct control over the format of the string they key in. So ultimately it is up to the application to insure that character strings presented as dates are in the correct format.
    Which is why I advise developers to ALWAYS use to_char and to_date at the sql statement level. It is the only way they can insure control over the setting.

  • Oracle error "ORA-01843: not a valid month" when trying to run sqlldr

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to load some data into a staging database via a CSV file using sqlldr, and am running into an issue where it doesn't like the date format I'm using.
    Here is my input data:
    2012-01-09 16:28:12 -05:00Here is the entry in the .ctl file:
    created TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE 'yyyy-mm-dd HH24:MI:SS TZR'And finally, here is the entry in the .sql file:
    created TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONEAfter I try to load, I get greeted with the dreaded error message: Record 1: Rejected - Error on table WTPART, column CREATED. ORA-01843: not a valid month
    I'm really confused as to why it's blowing up on the date, because it seems to me that "01" is indeed a valid date in terms of the date format I'm using. Any ideas? Thanks!

    ORA-01843: not a valid month
    In table the start_time is stored in 2/16/2013 8:31:01 PM format. If start_time is a DATE (or a TIMESTAMP) then it is not stored in that format, or any other format you would recognize.  Regardless of what the format is, don't try to compare a DATE with a VARCHAR2, such as '01/01/2011 00:00:00 AM'.  Use TO_DATE to convert the VARCHAR2 to a DATE.  For exampleWHERE start_time < TO_DATE ( '01/01/2011 12:00:00 AM'
                   , 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM'
    If you're using AM in a time, then 0 is not a possible hour.  The hours are 12, 1, 2, ..., 11 when using AM or PM.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

  • Query Builder session settings as a solve to ORA-01843 (not a valid month)

    Hi All! I'm novice at Oracle and RDBMS, so sorry for a dummy question.
    I'm trying to make some queries to a tutorial database (10g XE) with Query Builder of Application Express 2.1000039.
    I'm requesting columns with id, date of order and status of order; in a column of ordering date as a "where" condition I've wrote:
    >= to_date('23-JUN-2006', 'DD-MON-RRRR') and got an error "ORA-01843: not a valid month".
    Then I've edited row filtering condition:
    >= to_date('23-JUN-2006', 'DD-MON-RRRR', 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE = american') and 've got a correct query result, BUT resulting table date format is DD-MM-RR.
    So, here is a couple of questions:
    1. Can I change a session settings (e.g. alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT = 'DD-MON-RRRR') such way, to use it in Query Builder, before building an application itself and not to write 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE = american' every time I'm inserting data to a date datatype field?
    2. I wonder why resulting table date format is 'DD-MM-RRRR'. How can I get a data exactly in a date format 'DD-MON-RRRR', how I'm specifying in a query?
    My operating system is Windows 7 Home Basic, NLS_DATE_FORMAT is DD-MON-YYYY in 2 cases in register and respectively in environment variable.
    SQL*Plus displays all mentionted query tables correctly, corresponding to an 'ALTER SESSION ..... SETTINGS'.
    Hope to your help, guys. Thanks for answers!

    Hi,
    you can run the following query so you will see the session parameter values, and any differences with database and instance values :
    SELECT
      a1.parameter as "Parameter",
      a1.value as "Database value",
      a2.value as "Instance value",
      a3.value as "Session value"
    FROM
      nls_database_parameters a1
      LEFT JOIN nls_instance_parameters a2 ON a1.parameter = a2.parameter
      LEFT JOIN nls_session_parameters a3 ON a1.parameter = a3.parameter
    ORDER BY
      a1.parameter ASC;What are the values for NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE and NLS_DATE_FORMAT ?
    1. Can I change a session settings such way, to use it in Query Builder, before building an application itself and not to write 'NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE = american' every time I'm inserting data to a date datatype field?In the application, It depends on the Application Primary Language and Application Date Format you have set in the application globalization attributes. But you can also alter the session every time the APEX engine connects to the database, by entering some PL/SQL code in the Initialization PL/SQL Code attribute of the application (Application Builder -> Application -> Edit Security Attributes) :
    BEGIN
       EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION SET NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE = ''AMERICAN'' ';
    END;In all cases application level settings will only affect the application, not SQL Commands and Query Builder. I think you have to alter session manually each time for these two last tools :/

    I tested a snippet of code in my production environment, just to see if I would get any results:

    So what kind of error handling to you have in place to log the error messages and related diagnostic information?
    This error usually happens when we have a character variable holding dates as strings, with the inevitable corruption of invalid dates being amongst those strings.
    If you say it isn't data in the table and the input parameter :dbtbl.my_time always contains a date, then the only possible explanation is that Red Lectroids are corrupting your database with their alien 8th Dimension calendar....

  • JBO-27122: SQL error & java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01843: not a valid month

    Hi,
    We developed OA page for Employee's Payslip and it is working fine for all the employees but it is not working for only one employee...Getting the error as
    oracle.apps.fnd.framework.OAException: oracle.jbo.SQLStmtException: JBO-27122: SQL error during statement
    preparation
    ## Detail 0 ##
    java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01843: not a valid month
    Real Scenario is:
    The user "DANISH.LOTFY" is login into application and when he click on Payslip to the month then he is always getting the above error.
    For testing purpose we have removed his employee assignment from user screen(fnd_user) and assigned some other employee name (say MOHAMED.ELBAHY)... After this when DANISH.LOTFY logins into the application and payslip page is working fine...(He can able to see MOHAMED.ELBAHY payslip.....
    Realy we don't know this strange behaviour of OA ...

    Post the ddl for the source table.
    Also do a test. Create a table that is a clone of the MV table. Then try to do an INSERT INTO SELECT * FROM the source table into the clone table and see if you get an error.
    Don't forget to post the 4 digit Oracle versions of the source and target databases.

  • The database error text is: ORA-01843: not a valid month

    I am trying to use a date field as a query filter and I keep getting the
    following error:
    A database error occurred. The database error text is: ORA-01843: not a

    When I remove the query filter and run the query it works as
    expected. I want to be able to allow the users to use the date field in order
    to select a date range. Can someone provide me with some information on how to
    resolve this issue.
