Error in FROM clause

hi,
ok i have a piece of code which looks like
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT OrderDate, ProdNumber, Quantity, Price, OrderNumber FROM Order WHERE EmailAddress='" + email + "'");
when i execute it... i get following error
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in FROM clause.
i don't think there is any problem with syntax...
thanx in advance

Hey the escape character in java is \ you need to use that to escape the property of " for eg you will write like this ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT OrderDate, ProdNumber, Quantity, Price, OrderNumber FROM Order WHERE EmailAddress= "\""+ email + "\"");
try this and let me know if it works

Exception: DBD, [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Syntax error in FROM clause.

Dear experts,
I'm trying to create an universe linked to an Excel File.
I've created the ODBc connection and the DNS Data Source and inserted the table (table name RAC$) in the Universe. however, when I try to map each table field in the universe's Objects I'm getting this error message:
"Exception: DBD, [ODBC Excel Driver] Syntax error in FROM clause.State:37000".
I've tried to rename the table, inserting square brackects and also add new parameters to the universe («Transactional Available = "Yes"» and «Delimited Identifier = "Yes"») but still no solution to my problem.
Any advice, tip or trick?
Thank you. My best regards.

Stupid question: whats wrong here? -- Syntax Error in FROM clause

i keep getting the error: Syntax Error in FROM clause.
here is the code:
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>User Application Area</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000">
<%
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:fypproject","","");
Statement st = con.createStatement();
String email = (String)session.getAttribute("email");
String levelStatus = (String)session.getAttribute("levelStatus");
String details = "SELECT PD.Forename, PD.Surname, L.Level_Name FROM PD Personal_Details AND LD Login_Details AND L Level WHERE PD.Email_Address = LD.Email_Address AND LD.Level_ID = L.Level_ID AND Level_ID = '" + levelStatus + "'";
ResultSet rsDet = st.executeQuery(details);
if(rsDet.next()) {
String forename = rsDet.getString("Forename");
String surname = rsDet.getString("Surname");
String level_name = rsDet.getString("Level_Name");
%>
<DIV ALIGN="center"><H1>User Application Arena</H1></DIV>
<BR>
<H4>Welcome back <% out.println(forename + " " + surname); %> </H4>
<BR>
<%
out.println(level_name);
else {
out.println("NOT FOUND ANYTHING");
st.close();
con.close();
%>
</BODY>
</HTML>
the strange thing is when i write a query that doesn't involve the 'Level' table it works fine.
for example if i just want to display the forename and surname from 'Personal_Details' where the Email_Address = email it works fine...as soon as i involve the 'Level' table i get this error.
i basically have 'Level_ID' in the 'Login_Details' table which is found out in the preceding jsp and passed through to this page and i can print out the Level_ID
but....what i want to do is use this Level_ID and find the respective Level_Name in the Level table.
my Level table looks like this:
Level_ID Level_Name
0 Pending
1 Interview
2 Rejection
Thanks :o)

Perhaps this is your issue ...
The column Level_ID is in both the Login_Details and Level tables. Therefore, in your WHERE clause, you must specify a table alias for each reference to Level_ID
WHERE PD.Email_Address = LD.Email_Address AND LD.Level_ID = L.Level_ID AND Level_ID = '" + levelStatus + "'";
should be
WHERE PD.Email_Address = LD.Email_Address AND LD.Level_ID = L.Level_ID AND L.Level_ID = '" + levelStatus + "'"; //ADDED "L." before Level_ID
Level_ID would have been unique until you added the Level table.
Good luck.

Syntax error in From clause from Access

I am trying to migrate a database from Access 2000, and all of the tables except one migrate correctly. The one problem table gives me the following error message:
Unable to migrate table data: NWQ_TANC.PARAMETERS; [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in FROM clause.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I have found the error in the help Appendix, but it just lists it as a QUERY type error, #3131, and gives no explanation or clues on how to fix it.
Thanks, Jessica

Hi Jessica
Just wondering if you ever managed to find a solution to this problem, as I am getting a very similar error - only I don't just get it for one table, I get it for every single table in the database!
Would be very interested to hear if you managed to sort it or not
Cheers

Error in FROM clause (MS Access)

I'm getting an 'error executing a database query.' The query
is a simple
<cfquery name="myquery" datasource="#application.dsn#">
SELECT *
FROM #url.table#
</cfquery>
The debugging info i get is as follows:
SELECT * FROM Order
VENDORERRORCODE -3506
SQLSTATE 42000
It also states the error is in the FROM clause and only
happens when url.table is Order, not the other table names. I know
the order table exists because i get a nonexistent table name error
when url table is a bogus table name. This implies that
it knows the order table exists but says there's an error in
the FROM clause. The query is successful on all the other tables in
my db (MS access, i'm using the access driver without unicode). Any
ideas?

order is a reserved word...you'll need to escape it using
brackets
FROM [order]

Error in FROM clause of query

I've looked this over TONS of times and compared my query to the query in the tutorial and cannot figure out the error. Here's my SQL query:
select extractValue(value(t),'/*/id') "ID",
extractValue(value(t),'/*/key') "Key",
extractValue(value(t),'/*/featurelevel') "Feature Level",
extractValue(value(t),'/*/title') "Title"
extractValue(value(t),'/*/description') "Description",
extractValue(value(t),'/*/plaindesc') "Plain Description",
extractValue(value(t),'/*/location/city') "City",
extractValue(value(t),'/*/location/state') "State",
extractValue(value(t),'/*/location/zip') "Zip Code",
extractValue(value(t),'/*/location/country') "Country",
extractValue(value(t),'/*/company/name') "Company",
extractValue(value(t),'/*/detail-url') "URL",
extractValue(value(t),'/*/post-date') "Post Date"
from apex_collections c,
table(xmlsequence(extract(xmltype.createxml(c.clob001),'/job-list/job'))) t
where c.collection_name = 'JOB_RESPONSE'
Here's the resulting error message:
1 error has occurred
• Query cannot be parsed, please check the syntax of your query. (ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected)
And here's the query in the tutorial which works fine:
select extractValue(value(t),'/*/title') "Title",
extractValue(value(t),'/*/description') "Description",
extractValue(value(t),'/*/pubDate') "Date",
extractValue(value(t),'/*/author') "Author"
from apex_collections c,
table(xmlsequence(extract(xmltype.createxml(c.clob001),'/rss/channel/item'))) t
where c.collection_name = 'RSS_RESPONSE'
What am I missing? Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

The line
extractValue(value(t),'/*/title') "Title"doesn't have a comma after the alias "Title"

Nested query in FROM clause causes 'SQL Command not properly ended' error

I don't see anything wrong with the above query, it fails with 'SQL Command not properly ended'.
If I remove the usage of the nested query in the FROM clause, then it doesn't give that error. Please advice what I'm doing wrong.

Pls try
SELECT sj.job_id AS job_id, 'STATUS_AWAITING_PREPARATION' AS job_status, sjr.email_sys_attach_filename AS attach_filename, sje.emailaddr as emailaddr_lastsentto

I have removed the 'as' clause you used for alias of the subquery. It should work fine now.....

Is there a way to use dynamic built string in the "from" clause

Hi all, im having one problem and now, im not sure how to solve it easily at all... :) Is there someone that would be so kind and put a eye on it? ..thx
I have plsql proc, in which i have a list of table_names. For each of that table i need to run a query that will retrieve me a list of values and for each of that value i need to do something.
If i can be more specific about the problem -> each of that table is built as key_column, value_columns, day,starttime. For a key per table there are 4 records per hour - every quarter. Im truncating those quarters to full-quarter (minutes => 0->14 = 0min; 15->29 = 15min, 30->44 = 30, 45->59=45)
example
i get for one key and specific hour four records at 15:01;15:16;15:31;15:46 => i truncate em to 15:00;15:15;15:30;15:45..Sometimes there is a problem with the tool that is generating those data for me, and one quarter could be moved a little - so i get data like 15:01;15:16;15:29;15:46 => after i truncate the times i get duplicates in second quarter. It also can happen like this : 23:00; 23:14; 23:29; 23:44; 23:59 => totaly bad => cos the last one supposed to be as 0:00 next day, ..and 23:14 as 23:15...So...that was a problem - and solution -> i wanted to create plsql that will find those hours in each table i ve defined, and for each problem hour i make some fixes - update the bad time ...
..and i have problem - can i put an dynamic built table_name in the "from" clause?
example how i wanted to do that:
declare
     type t_objectName     is table of varchar2(030) index     by pls_integer;
     l_tableName              t_objectName;
begin
l_tableName(1) := 'tmphlrgl';
l_tableName(2) := 'tmprcfgl';
l_tableName(3) := 'tmprcfbs';
l_tableName(4) := 'tmpvlrgl';
for i in (select evtime from (select day,trunc_quarter(evtime) evtime,m_id from l_tableName(i) group by day,trunc_quarter(evtime),m_id having count(*)>1) order by evtime) loop
--some other conditions and the update...
end loop;
end;
/I cannot use the l_tableName(i) for FROM ...get an error...I was thinking to build it as dynamic sql and execute immediate into some kind of object that can store mutliple lines, from which i would in the FOR cycle get the data...But im not sure if this could be done in plsql...
thanks for your time and help..
d.

declare
c sys_refcursor;
begin
for i in 1..4 loop
open c for 'day,trunc_quarter(evtime) evtime,m_id
from ' || l_tableName(i) ||
'group by day,trunc_quarter(evtime),m_id having
count(*)>1) order by evtime';Just to high light SELECT is missing that all
OPEN c FOR ' SELECT day,trunc_quarter(evtime) evtime,m_id
          FROM' || l_tableName(i) ||
'GROUP BY day,trunc_quarter(evtime),m_id HAVING count(*)>1)   ORDER BY evtime';

CAN I PASS A TABLE NAME AS A VARIABLE IN THE FROM CLAUSE?

For some reason, I am trying to use a variable name containing the actual table name in the from clause and it won't allow me. I keep getting the error saying I need to declare the variable I'm using eventhough I've used it in another statement that is not the FROM clause.
Example
SELECT count(col1), sum(col2)
FROM v_table_name;
v_table_name was declared as:
v_tablename VARCHAR2(20);
v_tablename := real_table_name;
Is it not allowed to use variables in the FROM clause or am I missing something here?

You can use the Forms "From Clause Query" as the datasource for the data block. Then you can change the QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME using set_block_property, so you can use any SQL statement you like. Of course you must name/alias the columns in a consistent manner so that the number of database items on the block matches those being queried.

SELECT statement in FROM clause - syntax help

Hi,
I want to have a SELECT statement in the FROM clause. I get syntax error when doing this and since I am new to ABAP I need som help.
I want to do the following, (and if anyone has any SELECT statement from their own system which you know there is no syntax error in please post it here so I can analyze the syntax):
*I leave the INTO itab clause out, since I only want to demonstrate the functionality
I am trying to get.
<b>SELECT</b> tableOne~someField
<b>FROM</b> tab <b>AS</b> tableOne (<b>SELECT</b> someField
                                     <b>FROM</b> tab
                                     <b>WHERE</b> someFiled > 1) <b>AS</b> tableTwo
<b>WHERE</b> tableOnesomeField > tableTwosomeField
like I said, the problem is that the select statement in the parenthesis in the from clause seems to be incorrect because I get "wrong expression" when trying to compile. Is this because I cannot have a select statement in the from clause or is it because of a minor syntax error, such as I forgot a dot, or some other sign?
thanks and regards
Baran

sorry i am not enough familiar with sub queries but some error i can see which i will state here.
1> you have to use sub queries i.e. select in ( ) after where clause because here you are fulfilling a where clause by another select statement.
like this
SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT
    INTO WA
    WHERE SEATSOCC = ( SELECT MAX( SEATSOCC ) FROM SFLIGHT ).
2> you cannot specify field name without into clause either you have to use
select * or select f1 into tab-f1 like this...
but if you are using select * without into you have to define
tables : dbtab.
selec * from dbtab. like that.

SELECT LIST throws error for WHERE CLAUSE

Hi All
I am struck with, what looking like a trivial error, but I don't know how to settle it down. I am new to Apex (3.1). I am experimenting with. I have Oracle 10g running on Windows.
I have a dropdown item in one of my pages (SELECT list). I am trying to display few items there dynamically (depends on the user who logged in). I set it as SELECT LIST and entered the following query in "List of Values".
select enrolled_course display_value, course_id return_value
from COMP_LIST
where stu_id = :APP_USER
order by 1I got the following error.
1 error has occurred
LOV query is invalid, a display and a return value are needed, the column names need to be different. If your query contains an in-line query, the first FROM clause in the SQL statement must not belong to the in-line query.Then, I tried the step by step instruction from "Oracle® Application Express - Advanced Tutorials -Release 3.1.2 -E10497-02". Using creating list of values creation as seperately. That too, I got the same error.
I am doing it wrong I suppose. Please correct me. Thanks in advance

When I hardcoded, it worked.
select enrolled_course display_value, course_id return_value
from COMP_LIST
--where-- --emp_id-- = --100--
where stu_id = 100
order by 1
{code}
:APP_USER is not working then, Now, I should be using v('APP_USER')? When I tried v('APP_USER'), I got the same error back! The COMP_LIST is a view. Is there some problem with the view then?
But again, I am able to select from it without WHERE (now with hardcoded value also)....

Query data source type = procedure or from clause

1)I have a form where a block is based on a from clause. In the source name I entered a simple sql statement.
Isn't the items suppose to show without any other action or
WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO DO IN ORDER TO SEE THE BLOCK ITEMS EQUIVALENT TO THE COLUMNS IN THE QUERY?
2) I have a form where a block is based on a procedure.
First I created a package in a program unit with the procedures query_procedure, insert_procedure, update_procedure, delete_procedure and lock_procedure.
Then I set the query data source name to the package query_procedure. The columns and arguments were automatically filled by Forms - they are fine as well.
Forms automatically created the block triggers insert-procedure,delete-procedure, update-procedure and lock-procedure.
Everything seems to be fine but when I run the form and execute the query I get frm 40505 - unable to perform query.
What am i doing wrong?
This is the package:

for ur q1:
create the text items manually in the layout editor or in the obj navigator then specify there properties manually in the the pallette.
database item = yes
column name = field name in ur select statement
for q2:
try running the form again and press F8 then if an error occur press F1 or shift F1 to show the error in ur code.
i suspect u forgot to specify a value for the in parameter the reason why u get an error that is specify the actual parameter for ur in argument then press F8.
enjoy!

That is correct.
Datamover tries to insert data in PSOPRDEFN and rows exist with these keys.
To avoid this you can add the following statement in your script:
SET UPDATE_DUPS;
This will update the values other than the keys if a row already exists in the database with the keys in the dat file.
I can advice you to buy the new book of Jim Marion, PeopleSoft PeopleTools Data Management and Upgrade Handbook
http://www.amazon.com/PeopleSoft-PeopleTools-Management-Upgrade-Handbook/dp/0071787925/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1353575734&sr=8-1&keywords=jim+j+marion

How to give the list.tablename in from clause

Hi,
I am getting error invalid table name when I give list_item.tablename in from clause
ex :
q1:= 'select * from &p1_list.tablename';
return q1;
here p1_list is the list of schema values.
It worked fine when I give the type SQL Query. If I give the same thing in
SQL Query(PL/SQL function body returning SQL QUERY I am getting above error
Please help me.
Thanks,
Rekha

I have a LOV defined in a page which lists the schema names. My report query should use the selected schema , i.e. say the LOV item is named P5_ENVID, and the table name is emp then my sql query should be of the form,
select * from <P5_ENVID>.emp ;
Questions:
1. for Type "SQL Query", is it possible to use variables in the FROM clause?
2. I have tried :P5_ENVID.. , &P5_ENVID and v('P5_ENVID') , but they all return a parse error.
3. Do I have to use type PL/SQL funtion body returning sql query ?
4. if I have to do 3, then could you pls point me to appropriate documentation with the usage of it
Thanks

From Clause query with form variables

forms 9.0.4 rdbms 9.2
Is it possible to create a From Clause query with form variables generated from another block (but in the same form)? I am not having any success.
I searched Metalink. It appears that according to DOC ID # 69884.1, in Forms 6i, this is not possible. Metalink suggest in DOC ID 104771.1 implementating a dynamic From Clause, but when I duplicate the example on my system, I receive an Oracle error. Further investigation from the web form (DISPLAY ERROR) indicates that the system does not see the dynamic value.
Has anyone else run into this error? Has this been fixed in forms 9.0.4 and I am just missing something? Does a dynamic from clause query work? Can anyone point me to an example or post an example or offer any advise.
thanks in advance

As far as I know it is not possible to use block items in a from clause query in forms 9.0.4. Here is my solution for a From-Clause-Query via the 'Query-Data-Source-Name-Property':
To use the values of the block items in my from clause query I implemented a database package with getter and setter routines for the block item values I needed for the query.
In the Key-Exeqry-Trigger of the From-Clause-Query-Block I set the global package variables with values of the block-items I am interested in. In the From-Clause-Query I used the values in the where-clause via package functions which return the global package variables.
Hope my solution will work for your problem.
