Thank you for your kind help

Youw problem is caused by the semi-colon (;) with which you close the create statement and the "/" on the last line. The combination of these characters causes the statement to execute twice. So you can either remove the slash or the semi-colon and your script should run perfectly.

Rerunning script (DML and DDL) without ora-00001 and ora-00955 errors

What is the best way to write a DML and DDL script so that it can be run multiple times without these ORA errors:
ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object
ORA-00001: unique constraint (JILL.SYS_C00160247) violated
I have just joined a product development company using SQL Server as there primary database. They have just completed a port to Oracle.
Their product release upgrades (given to clients) include sql scripts with database changes (structure and data). They require that the client be able to rerun the scripts more than once with no errors. In SQL Server, the accomplish it this way.
For DDL:
if not exists (select * from dbo.sysobjects where id = object_id(N'[dbo].[MyTab]') and OBJECTPROPERTY(id, N'IsUserTable') = 1)
Begin
     CREATE TABLE [dbo].[MyTab] (
          [ID]int IDENTITY(1,1),
          [InvID] uniqueidentifier not null
For DML:
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM [dbo].[mytab] WHERE [Name] = 'Smith' and [ID] = 3)
BEGIN
INSERT INTO [dbo].[mytab]
([ID] ,[Name]
VALUES (3,'Smith')
END
I am tasked with duplicating this logic on the Oracle side. The only way I can think of so far is using plsql and checking for existence before every insert and create statement. The other options I thought of cannot be used in this case
- "whenever sqlerror continue" - gives the same response for all errors. True errors should stop the code, so this is too risky.
- "log errors into ... reject limit unlimited" on the insert - I thought this was my best solution until I found out that it doesn't support lobs.
Do you know of any more elegant (and more efficient) solution other than plsql cursors to check for existence before running each insert/create?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

select table_name from user_tables will give you the table exist or not.

ORA-00955 reports when I try to "create global temporary table" in windows

Hi,
When I try to run the sql in my oracle 9i server which is installed in a windows2000 machine,
Create global temporary table test ...;
For the first time, I can create table successfully.
But I cannot access this table any more:
drop table test;
desc test;
select * from test;
In addition, if I try to create the table again, I got the error:
ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object
While the same table can be created and dropped in another oracle9i server which is installed in Solaris 9 machine.
So I suspect that this sould be a bug of window oracle server.
Is there anyone who can confirm this?
Or who can tell me how to report this bug to oracle?
Thanks in advance.
Please also refer the message at:
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:::::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID:1046974576560
If you search the text: "create global temporary table sess_event", you can see for the first time, the table is created successfully.
But the ORA-00955 reports when the author try to create table for the second time.
This problem is exactly the same as my problem.
I have also made a search both in Google and in Oracle website and I cannot find any solution of it.

ORA-00955 when upgrading from Content Server 5.0.2 to Publisher?

I am upgrading Content Server 5.0.2 to Publisher.
After running the sw installation and having imported the publisher.pte file, I am starting the Publisher and receiving an Oracle error "ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object". From the messages logged, it looks like the error is encountered when recreating the object PCSACTIVE.PK_PCSACTIVE (first SQL statement with "Recreating ...", all others before where "Adding ...".
My questions:
1. has somebody else encounteered the same error?
2. does anybody know how to trap the SQL being executed?As the upgrade is done automatically by the Publisher when starting, I have found so far no way of checking the SQL or knowing which SQL statements are executed against the DB) when "Recreating" an object.
Thanks in advance for your help.
P.S. Customer Support has also been contacted, but it looks like noone else has reported this kind of problems.

Pl post OS details - are you using DBUA to upgrade ? Are there any errors in the database alert log ?

Hello,
Strange error, check if you didn't run out of space. If this is new installation, nor upgrade or migration, I would suggest to you drop the table and re-run export once more.
Otherwise you can open message to SAP as you can expect that this will happen also for other tables. Looks table or tables exist at Oracle but sapinst don't have info about it

Cannot resolve ORA-00955 error.

I have a script which I run to drop and create preferences, set attributes and drop and create a context index. When dropping and creating preferences and setting the attributes everything works fine and I get the standard messages.
My problem is I get the
ORA-00955 name is already used by an existing object
even after seeing the messages "index dropped" and index created.
I have checked the ctx_user_index_errors view and the timestamps are from when I approximately ran my script so it seems the index worked.
I have tried prefacing the index name with the schema name both when dropping and creating the index and I have even tried to use the keyword "force" when trying to drop the index, yet I still get the ORA-00955 error.
A snippet from my code is below:
PROMPT 23 DROP oracle text context index
DROP INDEX schema1.my_index;
PROMPT 24 CREATE the oracle text context with the above preferences and attributes
CREATE INDEX schema1.my_index ON docs(doc_contents)
INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.context
PARAMETERS('DATASTORE docs_data_store
FILTER CTXSYS.INSO_FILTER
FORMAT COLUMN oracle_text_format_column
LEXER docs_lexer
STOPLIST CTXSYS.DEFAULT_STOPLIST
SECTION GROUP docs_group
SYNC(ON COMMIT)' )
/

I think my problem was I really had a semi colon and a a foward slash at the end of the file, hence there was attempt to create the index twice, once for when the command was ended with a semicolon and once with the foward slash. I just removed the slash and everything worked fine.

Hi,
I too am experiencing this error when trying to configure a repository. I enter all the SYS details and for the OWB a/c. There was mention of invalid characters in the password , we use '-' , would this cause a problem.
Also, I am using an Oracle XE database for the repository, is there any limitation on this? Or do I need a full 10g instance?
Many thanks

Cannot create a constraint beacuse of ORA-00955

Hi !
I was trying to create a constraint on a table after dropping it just in case:
ALTER TABLE NEQResultByChunk
DROP CONSTRAINT pk_neqresultbychunk
OUTPUT: >> ERROR at line 2:
ORA-02443: Cannot drop constraint - nonexistent constraint
ALTER TABLE NEQResultByChunk
ADD (
CONSTRAINT pk_neqresultbychunk PRIMARY KEY

USING INDEX TABLESPACE &&idxtspace
OUTPUT: >> ALTER TABLE NEQResultByChunk
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object
There has to be somethink hang somewhere since using a different name works for the constraint works ok. I could not find this constraint in user_constraints table.
Any idea on where to look for it ?
I already brought dow the DB.
Thanks,
Mike

Why should i delete the index manually?
In most cases, the index will be remove when i delete the corresponding constraint.

ORA-02443 & ORA-00955

Hello guy;
I have a table with a unique constraint which should be made of three keys but made of one key. I decided to drop it and re-create it with the three keys but I got a message saying that says "ORA-02443: Cannot drop constraint - nonexistence constraint". And whenever I try to recreate that constraint with the same name, I get "ORA-00955: name already used bu an existing object."
What do I need to do because I am frustrated with this controversial error message?

For #5, not Windows, ConfigMgr 2012 R2. Anything before ConfigMgr 2012 R2 is not supported for the 8.1 ADK.
For the permissions, what accounts are you setting this for. In general, if the share is on the same server, Everyone Full or Read on the Share and System Full or Read on the NTFS should work.
For the error message, it looks like you are trying to import an OS Image and not an OS Install Package. OS images use a WIM file and OS Install Packages use the entire set of source files from the media. For OS images, you must thus explicitly point it
to a specific WIM file.

Error ORA-12560 prompts when trying to log in to the Enterprise Manager

Hi all,
I am a newbie to Oracle.
Just installed the Oracle 9i Database Enterprise Edition (9.0.1) into Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition. Problem is encountered when trying to log in to the Enterprise Manager Standalone mode using either system/oracle or scott/tiger as credentials. Error "ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error" prompts.
I tried to check with some configuration and see whether the services are started. Services of "OracleOraHome90TNSListener" and "OracleServiceORCL" have been started and the database exists in the dedicated directory. Environment variables of "ORACLE_HOME" and "ORACLE_SID" have been added manually as the SID is set to orcl, which I just follow what the instruction manual has stated. Moreover, I can't get access using command prompt typing "svrmgrl"; error returned stating " 'svrmgrl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
Another information is that there is no domain set in my server. Just a server with a name being assigned in a workgroup.
Hence, would you mind please advice me what to do in order to get access into the Enterprise Manager? It's quite an urgent task.
A million thx in advance!
Best Regards,
Karen

Hi Jigneshrp,
Thanks for your reply.
It is checked that the listener is running and TNS name service exists. Following your advice, I did create a new listener and another name service and use them, but the same error turns out when trying to log in to the Enterprise Manager again.
Additional information to take note for is that while reconfiguring the existing listener or creating a new listener, a mesage prompts stating "The information provided for this listener is currently in use by other software on this computer. You can proceed with the configuration as it is, but it will not be possible to start this listener until the conflict is resolved. Would you like to continue with the continue with the configuration anyway? Yes/No".
As for the reconfiguration or the new creation of TNS names service, when I am trying to test for the connection, the results in the details pane states that "Connecting... ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error. The test did not succeed...."
Would you mind pls advice me on these?
Furthermore, there exist 2 questions I am wondering is that it is stated in the instruction manual that prior to the installation, a static IP should be specified for it instead of the DHCP one; hence, I wanna ask after the complete insallation, is it that the server should be running in the network, i.e. allow it to get connected with the outside network?
2nd question is that can Oracle 9i Database Server Standard Edition (9.0.1) be installed under a Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition and just a Window XP Professional?
Thanks for your reply.
Best Regards,
Karen

Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-12154

Hello,
I try to install php 5.1.2 on a WIN2003 server and IIS6 with the OCi8 extension without success from several days.
On my server I've a 920 oracle client and the 10.1 instant client, I copy the tnsnames.ora in the instant client's directory.
I've declare many environnement variables :
- NLS_LANG : AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
- TNS_ADMIN : E:\...\oracle\instantclient_10_1
- ORA_NLS33 : E:\..\oracle\920\ocommon\nls\ADMIN\DATA
With the php command line the oci_connect function correctly works : the php command line use the instant client's tnsnames.ora. I can query with success my database.
When I try to load a web php script (the same as the php command line script) I have the following error " Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-12154" ( oci_connect( $user , $pass, $sid ) . The $sid variable have the value of an alias declared in the tnsnames.ora.
If I replace the sid's alias by something like this " (DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS_LIST=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=xx.xx.xx.xx)(PORT=1521)))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=xx)" in the oci_connect function, I have another error : Error while trying to retrieve text for error ORA-12705.
A web page with the phpinfo function displays the following messages about oci8 extension : It seems to be correct.

Do you have any idea ? Thanks a lot

The web server is not seeing the Oracle environment correctly. You need to set PATH to the instant client libraries. ORA_NLS33 is not used for Oracle 10g clients. Perhaps you have some library conflict with two versions of Oracle on the machine?
