EDQ - error exporting to DB: ORA-00928 missing SELECT

Hi,
I am using EDQ v12.1.3.0.0 and have created a very basic proof of concept process which takes as input a comma-demilited file through the Reader process and then has a Write processor to write the input to Staged Data.
I am then trying to Export the staged data to the relevant table in the database but get the following error message:
'xxxxxx failed: Problem writing insert batch to database: ORA-00928: missing SELECT keyword.
The input file/staged data only contains a single comma-delimited file with 3 fields and on the other side in the database, all I have in the schema is a single table which I am writing to. I can connect to my target DB datastore in EDQ without any problems.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this? Reading up on this error suggests that it is to with the SELECT keyword missing from a CREATE VIEW statement but I am not sure where or why it is trying to create a view.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Mike,
Many thanks for your quick response.
I am writing to an existing table and wasn't seeing the three options which you've suggested, and which I've seen also appear in the documentation. But based on what you've said above, I now understand that I won't see those options because I am running a standalone export by right-clicking in the tree, rather than in a job.
The target table didn't have a PK defined and I have since added one and ran the stand-alone export again and it has worked this time - Thanks. Thanks also for pointing out that the export will be DELETING and INSERTING - I was wondering why each time the export was failing it was removing records from the table, as I thought in this mode it would just be doing a straightforward INSERT. (So it was doing the DELETE part ok but failing on the INSERT).
I would also like to know another couple of things please.
1) How can I add this Export to a newly created Job? I have created a Job and put my Process in there, but when I try and drag-and-drop the Export, I get a no-entry sign indicating that I'm not allowed to do this. My target datastore is server-based rather than client-based and I thought that this should be ok if doing an export.
2) Is it possible to call database stored procedures on the target database and then let that take care of inserts? E.g. rather than letting EDQ insert the records straight into the target DB, would like to make a call to a PL/SQL stored procedure which takes the data to be inserted as input (if at all possible, I understand this could be difficult if dealing with multiple records, unless the procedure can be called each time for each record), and then performs some checks before inserting the records.
EDIT: regarding point 2 above, I have just come across this - How to call Oracle Stored Procedure using EDQ.

"ORA-00928: missing SELECT keyword" only on one instance in RAC

I am using oracle 9i RAC.When I run a query in one instance it is working fine but in another instance of RAC it is giving "ORA-00928: missing SELECT keyword".
I am wondering why it happening in the same RAC.Please suggest me where is the problem.
Thanks

Invalid exists/not exists condition: ORA-00928: missing SELECT keyword

I am getting errors when I edit the source region and add the sql I want to run in the report. If I run the following query in sqlplus with the schema owner substituted for OWNER it works fine.
SELECT TK_IN_TIME
from "#OWNER#"."TIME_KEEPING_T"
I also run the following code in sqlplus and it works perfect, but from the source region I get a divide by 0 error.
select dt,to_char(trunc(mod((elaps)*24,24)),'fm00')||':'||
to_char(trunc(mod((elaps)*24*60,60)),'fm00')||':'||
to_char(trunc(mod((elaps)*24*60*60,60)),'fm00') ELAPSED
from
select trunc (tk_in_time) dt, sum(tk_out_time-tk_in_time) elaps
from time_keeping_t
group by trunc(tk_in_time)
order by dt
What is so different between the source region and sqlplus. I need to have this query run in my report and unfortunately, it doesn't seem possible. I'm about to give up on APEX and try something different.

I couldn't paste a screenshot, so I cut and paste. If there is somewhere I could put the screenshot let me know. There is IDENTIFICATION, USER INTERFACE, and SOURCE. I'm putting the sql into the SOURCE region. I've gotten so many errors, that I have it just limited to a simple select of two fields, and I apply changes and then RUN, and get the 00928 error.

Re: ORA-00928: missing SELECT keyword

Hi
I have created a question in Access and then copied the SQL question from it. When I try to run it in eg SQL plus I get an error.From the error I understand that there must be one more Select statement but I can't figure out where or why.
I am trying to access an Oracle DB so I guess I must change the question but I am not sure how.
SELECT MC_POSUM.ID, MC_POLINE.ID, MC_INVTRANS.TQTY_AMT, MC_PCITEM.ITID, MC_INVTRANS.PRSD_DTTM, MC_EMPLOYEE.AENM, MC_EMPLOYEE_1.AENM, MC_STOREROOM.STOREID, MC_STOREROOM.STOROI, MC_INVTRANS.TRNTYP

Just guessing here, but if you are on an Oracle version prior to 9, it does not support the JOIN ON syntax. If you run the query in Access, the ODBC driver takes care of the conversion.
Prior to 9, a join in Oracle is done by including all tables in the FROM clause, and then specifying the relationship between the tables in the WHERE clause. An OUTER join is accomplished by adding (+) to the relationship for the table that you want to make up rows for. So, in Oracle, your query would be something like:
SELECT mc_posum.id, mc_poline.id, mc_invtrans.tqty_amt, mc_pcitem.itid,
       mc_invtrans.prsd_dttm, mc_employee.aenm, mc_employee_1.aenm,
       mc_storeroom.storeid, mc_storeroom.storoi, mc_invtrans.trntyp
FROM mc_posum, mc_poline, mc_podel, mc_invtrans, mc_employee, mc_pcitem,
     mc_storeroom, mc_employee mc_employee_1
WHERE mc_posum.posumo1         = mc_poline.po_oi and
      mc_poline.polnoi         = mc_podel.poline_oi and
      mc_podel.podeloi         = mc_invtrans.podel_oi and
      mc_invtrans.audt_user_oi = mc_employee.empoi and
      mc_poline.pcitem_oi      = mc_pcitem.pcitoi and
      mc_invtrans.stor_oi      = mc_storeroom.storoi(+) and
      mc_posum.buy_oi          = mc_employee_1.empoi and
      mc_employee_1.aenm      <> mc_employee.aenm and
      mc_storeroom.storoi     <> 32050 and

Error in MERGE statement - ORA-00969: missing ON keyword

Hi All ,
I am trying to write a Merge statement , but I am getting the below error .
   MERGE INTO main_table m
                          USING tab_1 l, tab_2 u
                          ON (   l.col1        = m.col1
                                   AND u.col2 = l.col2)
When Matched then
update........
When not mached then
Insert ......
But here I am using 2 tables in the USING clause . and here I am getting this error :-
142/17   PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
143/42   PL/SQL: ORA-00969: missing ON keyword
May I know where i am doing wrong ?

Hi LuKKa, you are on the Portugues Forum, but we can help you, try the code mentioned below:
   MERGE INTO main_table m
                          USING (select l.col1, l.col2, u.col2 from tab_1 l join tab_2 u on (u.col2 = l.col2)) t
                          ON (t.col1 = m.col1)
When Matched then
update........
When not mached then
Insert ......

Error ORA-00928

Hi all,
I created some tables for a database that is going to be OS
independent.
When i put some values to a specific table, I have tha following
problem:
At the time that i put the values, to the table, i receive the
error message "ORA-00928, SELECT Keyword missing"
This table has a foreign key which is referenced to another
table and column.
i don't think that i am making any mistake in the setting of the
constraintsm because i made 2 more tables with the same
constraints and i didnot have any problem.
I am confused, cause I am now bacoming familiar with the oracle
environment and i don't know many things about oracle.
From your experience, what could cause the problem?
Kind regards,
K.

Here are some examples that may help make things clearer. In
the following examples, to simplify things and focus on the
problem, I have limited the create table statement to just the
columns, without constraints or anything else.
If you create the table your way, using reserved words enclosed
in doubles quotes:
SQL> CREATE TABLE "SCOTT"."TRANSACTION_BATCH"
2    ("NUMBER"            NUMBER(8)    NOT NULL,
3     "DATE"              DATE         NOT NULL,
4     "TYPE"              VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL,
5     "FILENAME"          VARCHAR2(20),
6     "TOTALTRANSACTIONS" NUMBER(8)    NOT NULL)
7 /
Table created.
The table gets created O.K., but when you try to insert your
way, using the reserved words, without the quotes, you get:
SQL> INSERT INTO "SCOTT"."TRANSACTION_BATCH"
2    (NUMBER,
3     DATE,
4     TYPE,
5     FILENAME,
6     TOTALTRANSACTIONS)
7 VALUES
8    (1,
9     TO_DATE (",'dd-Mon-yyyy HH:MI:SS AM'),
10     '1',
11     ",
12     2)
13 /
(NUMBER,
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-00928: missing SELECT keyword
In the above, when it gets to line 2, it knows it can't insert a
column called NUMBER, so it looks for a SELECT instead, and
doesn't find it.
However, if you insert with double quotes around the column
names, it works:
SQL> INSERT INTO SCOTT.TRANSACTION_BATCH
2    ("NUMBER",
3     "DATE",
4     "TYPE",
5     "FILENAME",
6     "TOTALTRANSACTIONS")
7 VALUES
8    (1,
9     SYSDATE,
10     '1',
11     NULL,
12     2)
13 /
1 row created.
However, it would be better to drop the table and recreate it,
using column names that aren't reserved key words:
SQL> DROP TABLE transaction_batch
2 /
Table dropped.
SQL> CREATE TABLE "SCOTT"."TRANSACTION_BATCH"
2    (NUMBER_COL        NUMBER(8)    NOT NULL,
3     DATE_COL          DATE         NOT NULL,
4     TYPE              VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL,
5     FILENAME          VARCHAR2(20),
6     TOTALTRANSACTIONS NUMBER(8)    NOT NULL)
7 /
Table created.
Then, you can insert without the double quotes:
SQL> INSERT INTO SCOTT.TRANSACTION_BATCH
2    (NUMBER_COL,
3     DATE_COL,
4     TYPE,
5     FILENAME,
6     TOTALTRANSACTIONS)
7 VALUES
8    (1,
9     SYSDATE,
10     '1',
11     NULL,
12     2)
13 /
1 row created.
To further illustrate the problem and show you what I meant when
I said that creating the table without the double quotes would
have brought the problem to your attention then, suppose we try
to do that using the reserved words:
SQL> DROP TABLE transaction_batch
2 /
Table dropped.
SQL> CREATE TABLE "SCOTT"."TRANSACTION_BATCH"
2    (NUMBER            NUMBER(8)    NOT NULL,
3     DATE              DATE         NOT NULL,
4     TYPE              VARCHAR2(10) NOT NULL,
5     FILENAME          VARCHAR2(20),
6     TOTALTRANSACTIONS NUMBER(8)    NOT NULL)
7 /
(NUMBER            NUMBER(8)    NOT NULL,
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-00904: invalid column name
The above tells us that NUMBER is a reserved word and should not
be used as a column name. The same is true for DATE. Putting
them in double quotes to get around that problem causes more
problems than it solves. Unfortunately there are some
applications out there that automatically insert double quotes
in some places and not in others.

Tab Set error - ORA-00928

Hi,
I have a strange error can anyone decipher this one - When I edit a page and change the "standard tab set" to a particular tab set I get the following error message when running the page.
"Invalid exists/not exists condition: ORA-00928: missing SELECT keyword "
When I run the page with no tab-set there is no error.
Thanks in advance,
Brandon

Please help to solve this error message ORA-00928

hallo, I'm sorry if it's wrong place to answer a question like that cause I'm a newbie :( .
I have some php problem like above :
<?php
     //connect to database
     $db = "";
     $conn = ocilogon("system", "tubes", $db);
if ( !$conn ) {
echo "Status : Connection Error, mangga di lereuskeun heula : " . var_dump( OCIError() );
     //input data
$id = $_POST[id_jenis_zakat];
$jenis = $_POST[jenis_zakat];
$barang = $_POST[jenis_barang];
$jumlah = $_POST[jumlah];
$stmt = OCIParse($conn, "insert into zakat value( $id ,$jenis ,$barang ,$jumlah)");
$s = ociexecute($stmt);
if (!$s){
echo "Input Data Error, mangga didangdosan heula".var_dump(ocierror());
?>
but, it's show this message
Warning: ociexecute() [function.ociexecute]: ORA-00928: missing SELECT keyword in C:\xampp\htdocs\baznas\coba.php on line 15
bool(false) Input Data Error, mangga didangdosan heula
so, What should I do ?

so, What should I do ?Hm. I'm a php-noob, but it looks like a typo:
$stmt = OCIParse($conn, "insert into zakat value( $id ,$jenis ,$barang ,$jumlah)");Try:
$stmt = OCIParse($conn, "insert into zakat VALUES( $id ,$jenis ,$barang ,$jumlah)");If that doesn't work then perhaps the PHP forum can help you: PHP

'Missing select' error for update statement using WITH clause

Hi,
I am getting the below error for update statement using WITH clause
SQL Error: ORA-00928: missing SELECT keyword
UPDATE A
set A.col1 = 'val1'
     where
A.col2 IN (
WITH D AS
SELECT col2 FROM
(SELECT col2, MIN(datecol) col3 FROM DS
WHERE <conditions>
    GROUP BY PATIENT) D2
WHERE
<conditions on A.col4 and D2.col3>

Hi,
The format of a query using WITH is:
WITH d AS
    SELECT ... -- sub_query
SELECT ...   -- main query
You don't have a main query. The keyword FROM has to come immediately after the right ')' that ends the last WITH clause sub-query.
That explains the problem based on what you posted. I can't tell if the real problem is in the conditions that you didn't post.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a complete test script that people can run to re-create the problem and test their ideas. Include a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
In the case of a DML operation (such as UPDATE) the sample data should show what the tables are like before the DML, and the results will be the contents of the changed table(s) after the DML.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0).
