JDBC receiver error - ORA-00913: too many values

Hi all,
Facing a strange issue with proxy-jdbc issue.
Message fails with error - ORA-00913: too many values
Handling the missing fields from the source with - Empty String in the comm. Channel
Empty string handling works fine - whenever there is no value coming form souce, null is inserted into the field value on the DB.
Trying to insert the same data manually, it works fine. But gives this error END2END.
When testing END2END, if the field values are made couple of chars less in length, that works fine....fails with the actual data.....seems to be the issue with the field lenghts on the DB.
Increased all the lengths by 10 chars..still does not work.
Except the key fields of the DB table, all others are nullable.
Is there anything else, I am missing...
Note: Generally, ORA-00913: too many values comes when the number of fields and the number of values donot match in an INSERT/UPDATE statement.

Well the error you mention generally occurs when the insert statement has more fields mention than in the table .ie you are mentioning extra field .aur this error is due to the field lenght of any of the filed you had to check in the oracle itself by using the command DESCRIBE there you ll be able to see the field lenght of each and every field .
hope your problem got resolved :

ORA-00913: too many values - how to change decimal separator?

I want to use SQL Developer's database export and need advice how to tweak the decimal separator from , to . in the sql-inserts created.
Preferrably in SQL Developer, because this error can be easily happen and is hard to catch during import.+

1 rows inserted

¨
h3. 3.) select * from AADECIMEXPORT

Insert ORA-00913: too many values -- urgent help

Hi there
Its pretty urgent, got stuck up....
To avoid the undo snapshot error, I am using this procedure to migrate the smaller chunks of huge volume of table data into new tables. This below code works well if the columns are very less. And this procedure is not working if the tables columns are morethan 30 columns and throwing the error   PL/SQL: ORA-00913: too many values
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE migration AS
   TYPE array_tp IS TABLE OF tranproc%ROWTYPE;
   l_array array_tp;
   CURSOR c IS
      select * from tranproc p where trunc(date)<=trunc(sysdate)-180;
   l_cnt1 NUMBER :=0;
   l_cnt2 NUMBER :=0;
   l_cnt3 NUMBER :=0;
BEGIN
   OPEN c;
   LOOP
      FETCH c BULK COLLECT INTO l_array LIMIT 10000;
      EXIT WHEN l_array.COUNT = 0;
      l_cnt1 := c%ROWCOUNT;
      FORALL i IN 1 .. l_array.COUNT
         INSERT INTO TMP_Transpoc VALUES l_array(i);
      l_cnt2 := l_cnt2 + SQL%rowcount;
   END LOOP;
   l_cnt3 := c%ROWCOUNT;
   CLOSE c;
   END;
16    22    PL/SQL: ORA-00913: too many values
its falling
line 16: INSERT INTO TMP_Transpoc VALUES l_array(i);
Above table i.e tranproc has around 80 columns .
i am not pl/sql expert, kindly advise how to resolve it.. i am fine with alternative approach, just i need a smaller chunk commit.

Actually, Direct Path does not necessarily require NOLOGGING. If you successfully invoke Direct Path (look for LOAD AS SELECT or DIRECT LOAD INTO in the execution plan) then you are inserting into blocks above the high-water mark (HWM) and there is virtually no UNDO generated for the changes in the table segment.
However, the index maintenance (if any) will require UNDO, and it may be a lot. If this is going into a new table, then you should be able to create the index after the table is populated.
Also beware of the NOLOGGING advice. In many cases, an individual SQL statement can not disable logging. And yet, if you do bypass REDO logging, be very sure you understand the consequences for your ability to recover.

PL/SQL: ORA-00913: too many values

I don't find out why i'mg getting an "ORA-00913: too many values" Error
This Example works fine:
DECLARE
TYPE session_type IS TABLE OF v$session%ROWTYPE ;
blocking_sessions session_type;
BEGIN
select * bulk collect into blocking_sessions from v$session where blocking_session is not null;
END;
But in this Example i'm getting an ORA-00913. Can anybody tell me what i'm doing wrong?
DECLARE
TYPE session_type IS TABLE OF v$session%ROWTYPE ;
blocking_sessions session_type;
BEGIN
select distinct blocking_session bulk collect into blocking_sessions from v$session where blocking_session is not null;
END;
select distinct blocking_session bulk collect into blocking_sessions from v$session where blocking_session is not null;
ERROR at line 7:
ORA-06550: line 7, column 70:
PL/SQL: ORA-00913: too many values
ORA-06550: line 7, column 1:

OK this one works also:
DECLARE
TYPE session_type IS TABLE OF NUMBER ;
blocking_sessions session_type;
BEGIN
select distinct blocking_session bulk collect into blocking_sessions from v$session where blocking_session is not null;
END;
But when i'm selecting for about 20 columns of a table with 30 columns. Do I have to declare every single column?

Can you let me know what is the issue here.

Anybody can forget a column (or have an extra one, or type a _ when they mean ,) but if you write code like this
INSERT ( account_id, subscriber_id, status_account_type)
VALUES (paris_accounts.account_id, paris_accounts.subscriber_id, paris_accounts.status, paris_accounts.account_type);you might spot the error yourself.
Always format your code. When you post any formatted text on thsi site, type these 6 characters:
\(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after formatted text, to preserve spacing.

Simply count the number of items in your insert and
then in your select. They should be the same.
Insert = 21, select = 23. I'll let you investigate
what is missing extra...tks hehe.

Report error: ORA-02020: too many database links in use

I am getting error ORA-02020 in a report that works exactly the same in other APEX instance.
The query refers several tables from Oracle Financials with a single database link.
The weird thing is that for some parameters the report shows the expected lines, and for other parameters it shows the error message.
There are three other regions in the same page running grouped versions of the same query and they work perfectly.
Any idea will be welcome.

ROWTYPE and "Too many values" error...

I'm in the middle of trying to understand the inner workings of %ROWTYPE and how I can copy the structure of a table with it. I think I'm understanding the gist of it, but I continue to fail in pinpointing the actual values I try to insert with an example tutorial I'm using at the moment and was hoping someone could help me understand my problem better so that I can bridge this mental gap I seem to be slipping into...
That said, I have the following table: ct_employee
The columns of this table (and their schema settings) are as follows:
empno - NUMBER(4,0)
ename - VARCHAR2(20)
job - VARCHAR2(20)
mgr - NUMBER(4,0)
hiredate - DATE
sal - NUMBER(7,2)
comm - NUMBER(7,2)
ct_department - NUMBER(2,0)The SQL I'm using in all this is the following:
SET VERIFY OFF
DEFINE emp_num = 7369;
DECLARE
emp_rec ct_retired_emps%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT *
INTO emp_rec
FROM ct_employee
WHERE empno = &emp_num;
emp_rec.leavedate := SYSDATE;
UPDATE ct_retired_emps SET ROW = emp_rec
WHERE empno = &emp_num;
END;As I hope you can tell from the above, I'm trying to create a variable (emp_rec) to store the structure of ct_employee where upon I then copy a record into emp_rec if and only if the empno column from ct_employee matches that of the emp_num "7369".
I'm using SQL*PLUS with 10g in all this (+a program I love, by the way; it's really easy to use and very informative+) and when I press the "Run Script" button, I receive the following Script Output:
Error report:
ORA-06550: line 6, column 3:PL/SQL: ORA-00913: too many values
ORA-06550: line 4, column 3:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
06550. 00000 - "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
*Cause: Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
*Action:>
What I translate from this is that there's either a column number mismatch or else there's some value being attempted to be inserted into the variable I created that isn't matching the structure of the variable.
Anyway, if someone around here could help me with this, you would make my day.

It's still not updating the table. :(
Here's where I am...
I currently have the following pl/sql:
SET VERIFY OFF
DEFINE emp_num = 7369;
DECLARE
emp_rec ct_retired_emps%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT *
INTO emp_rec
FROM ct_employee
WHERE empno = &emp_num;
emp_rec.leavedate := SYSDATE;
UPDATE ct_retired_emps SET ROW = emp_rec
WHERE empno = &emp_num;
END;I'm trying to avoid as much hard-coding as possible, hence my use of the all selector, but because of this, SQL*Plus is now giving me a run-time error of the following:
Error report:ORA-06550: line 6, column 3:
PL/SQL: ORA-00913: too many values
ORA-06550: line 4, column 3:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
06550. 00000 - "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
*Cause: Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
*Action:>
So to remedy this, I then try the following revised PL/SQL:
SET VERIFY OFFDEFINE emp_num = 7369;
DECLARE
emp_rec ct_retired_emps%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT empno, ename, job, mgr, hiredate, SYSDATE as leavdate, sal, comm, ct_department
INTO emp_rec
FROM ct_employee
WHERE empno = &emp_num;
UPDATE ct_retired_emps SET ROW = emp_rec
WHERE empno = &emp_num;
END;>
This time, everything runs smoothly, however, no information is updated into the ct_retired_emps! Ha!
I've verified that there's a record in ct_employee that has "7369" for its empno column value, so there should be no missing value concern from all this. The only other thing I can think of is that there must be something askew with my logic, but as to what, I have no clue. Below are my columns for both tables:
ct_employee -
empno, ename, job, mgr, hiredate, sal, comm, ct_department
ct_retired_emps -
empno, ename, job, mgr, hiredate, leavedate, sal, comm, deptno
My immediate questions:
1.) I know nothing about debugging or troubleshooting PL/SQL, but I do know that I need to review the contents of the emp_rec variable above to see what all is inside it so that I can better assess what's going on here. I've tried to use DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(emp_rec) but this does nothing and only creates another run-time error. What's a way in which I can output the contents of this regardless of run-time success? Would I need to code in an EXCEPTION section and THEN use DBMS_OUTPUT...?
2.) SELECTING * in the first snippet above meant that I was disallowed the use of the emp_rec.leavedate := SYSDATE; after the SELECT. How might oneself SELECT * AND+ use emp_rec.leavedate := SYSDATE; in the same EXECUTION section?
3.) With everything I've provided here, do you see any obvious issues?
It doesn't take a genius to realize I'm new at this stuff, but I am trying to provide everything I can to learn here so if any of you can help this poor guy out, he'd be very grateful.

Multiple Selects = Too many values?

Hi. I have a table of employees, a table of departments (called accounts), and a table containing test results. Every employee is supposed to have a test each year, unless the test was "positive" in a previous year.
I want a query that lists everyone that hasn't taken the test, but I don't want to include the ones that were "positive".
I did some incremental query building, making sure each query returned what I wanted before making it more complex (for me). Apologies if I'm providing too much information.
This returns just the test results that are positive.
-- Get list of result codes that are positive
SELECT ResultID FROM Result WHERE ResultTreatAsPositive = 1;
This returns everyone that has had a positive result at any time.
-- Get list of people having positive results at any time
SELECT DISTINCT empID, empFName, empLName, empAcctNum, actDescription
FROM Employee, Account, TestResult
WHERE empID = testEmployeeID
AND empAcctNum = actNumber
AND empActive = 1
AND testResult IN (SELECT ResultID FROM Result WHERE ResultTreatAsPositive = 1)
ORDER BY actDescription;
This returns everyone that had a test during the previous year
-- Get everyone having any results during date range
SELECT DISTINCT empID, empFName, empLName, empAcctNum, actDescription
FROM Employee, Account, TestResult
WHERE empID = testEmployeeID
AND empAcctNum = actNumber
AND testReadDate BETWEEN to_date('2005/01/01', 'yyyy/mm/dd') AND to_date('2005/12/31', 'yyyy/mm/dd')
AND empActive = 1
ORDER BY actDescription;
So far, so good. However, when I try to put all of these together, I get errors:
This should return all employees minus ones with a positive result (at any time) and minus any test taken this year
-- Get everyone else
SELECT DISTINCT empID, empFName, empLName, empTitle, empAcctNum, actDescription
FROM Employee, Account, TestResult
WHERE empID = testEmployeeID
AND empAcctNum = actNumber
AND empActive = 1
AND (empID NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT empID, empFName, empLName, empAcctNum, actDescription FROM Employee, Account, TestResult WHERE empID = testEmployeeID AND empAcctNum = actNumber AND empActive = 1 AND testResult IN (SELECT ResultID FROM Result WHERE ResultTreatAsPositive = 1)))
AND (empID NOT IN (SELECT DISTINCT empID, empFName, empLName, empAcctNum, actDescription FROM Employee, Account, TestResult WHERE empID = testEmployeeID AND empAcctNum = actNumber AND testReadDate BETWEEN to_date('1988/01/01', 'yyyy/mm/dd') AND to_date('2007/01/01', 'yyyy/mm/dd') AND empActive = 1))
ORDER BY actDescription, empLName, empFName;
I get ERROR at line 6: (my first empID NOT IN line)
ORA-00913: too many values.
How can I write this query so that it works? Any tips are appreciated, even those that point out I can't write a query very well!

Missed that one and was thrown off by those 2005, 1998, 2007 dates
Looks like youre on the right track though.Sorry. I cobbled that code from some of my tests (grab everything -- seeing multiple rows makes me feel better!)
Looking at your suggestion on TRUNC, I can't really do that, as user can specify everyone that doesn't qualify for a single month -- apparently, some departments are assigned a month to have their tests, while others can go the entire year.
Thanks for the help.

Too many values when trying insert records by bulk collect

Hi
Can anyone advice on the bulk collect error please?
Following is my code where I am getting too many values error...
TYPE p_empid_type IS TABLE OF emp%ROWTYPE;
      v_empid               p_empid_type;
   BEGIN
      SELECT DISTINCT emp_id , 'ABC'
      BULK COLLECT INTO v_empid
                 FROM emp
                WHERE empid IN (SELECT ord_id
                                   FROM table_x
                                  WHERE column_x = 'ABC');
      FORALL i IN v_empid.FIRST .. v_empid.LAST
         INSERT INTO my_table
              VALUES v_empid(i);
      COMMIT;
PL/SQL: ORA-00913: too many values in line - BULK COLLECT INTO v_empid

Hello, since you're SELECTing a constant string, why not:
TYPE p_empid_type IS TABLE OF INTEGER;
      v_empid               p_empid_type;
   BEGIN
      SELECT DISTINCT emp_id
      BULK COLLECT INTO v_empid
                 FROM emp
                WHERE empid IN (SELECT ord_id
                                   FROM table_x
                                  WHERE column_x = 'ABC');
      FORALL i IN v_empid.FIRST .. v_empid.LAST
         INSERT INTO my_table
              VALUES v_empid(i), 'ABC';
Edit Untested: may not work
This would be the best BULK COLLECT of all:
INSERT /*+ APPEND */ INTO my_table
SELECT DISTINCT emp_id , 'ABC'
FROM emp
WHERE empid IN (SELECT ord_id
      FROM table_x
     WHERE column_x = 'ABC');
      COMMIT;
