  • Oracle 11G and SqlDataSource: 'ORA-01036: illegal variable name/number'

    [Resolved - http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=2366331&#2366331]
    I've created a short video to explain my problem with Oracle and SqlDataSource. If you'd rather watch than read, go see the video at http://www.kencox.ca/video/oracelandsqldatasource.html.
    I'm trying to do some extremely simple drag and drop development in Visual Web Developer 2008 with the Oracle 11g database and ODP.NET. According to Oracle, "The data provider can be used with the latest .NET Framework 3.5 version. "
    The SELECT statement works fine, but any attempt to use UPDATE via the SQLDataSource UpdateCommand nets me the infamous 'ORA-01036: illegal variable name/number' error.
    I wouldn't mind using one of my MSDN Support Incidents to have Microsoft take a look at this issue, but I'm not sure the problem is Microsoft's. It seems like Oracle is doing a poor job in its Visual Studio integration.
    Question: Has anyone successfully used an UpdateCommand statement in SQLDataSource against Oracle 11g? If so, let me know!
    Below, you see the entire code as generated in Visual Web Developer 2008. To see it in action, check the video at http://www.kencox.ca/video/oracelandsqldatasource.html.

    Ken,
    One thing to be aware of is Microsoft has produced Visual Studio database tools and data provider for Oracle. In addition, Oracle has produced its own tools. Knowing which products you are using is important because you want to know which company you should be complaining about. :-)
    In your video, you are using all Microsoft tools and data provider, not Oracle's.
    I would recommend using Oracle Developer Tools (ODT) for VS and ODP.NET since these products are much better integrated with .NET and Oracle.
    ODP.NET uses Oracle.DataAccess.Client namespace. System.Data.OracleClient belongs to the MS provider for Oracle, which Mark pointed out. If you drag and drop DB objects using ODT, it will generate ODP.NET code for you (and give you more data source wizard options as well).
    You can download the latest 11g version of ODP.NET and ODT here:
    http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/tech/windows/odpnet/index.html
    These support .NET 3.5 and VS 2008.

  • Query Errors:  ORA-01036: illegal variable name/number

    Hi All,
    When I run a query against two tables within our data warehouse I am getting an IO Exception. Due to company restrictions I can't quickly increase my IO Limit So what I have done is written a query that cycles through all of the large tables partitions and extracts the data.
    The problem I get is that when I run this query in Toad. It thinks my :MI, :SS are variables and wont run this. Does anyone know what I can do to resolve this issue?
    create table completion_log

    compress ;
    create table  STORE_DATA_HERE

    compress ;
    commit;
    begin

       loop
          execute immediate q'^
          insert /*+ APPEND */ into STORE_DATA_HERE
            SELECT  field_1,
                    field_2,
                    field_3      
              FROM  REALLY_LARGE_TABLE partition (^'||ptn.p||q'^)
             WHERE  field_3 IN (  'XXXX',  'YYYY')
                    AND data_date BETWEEN TO_DATE('07/12/2011 00:00:00', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
                            AND TO_DATE('08/12/2011 23:59:59', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
          ^';
         insert into completion_log values (sysdate,'STORE_DATA_HERE',ptn.p);
         commit;
       end loop;
    end;

    In your case it is quite easy...
    just remove the collons from the format and the literal...and off you go
    begin
       for ptn in (select partition_name p from all_tab_partitions t where table_name='REALLY_LARGE_TABLE')
       loop
          execute immediate q'^
          insert /*+ APPEND */ into STORE_DATA_HERE
            SELECT  field_1,
                    field_2,
                    field_3      
              FROM  REALLY_LARGE_TABLE partition (^'||ptn.p||q'^)
             WHERE  field_3 IN (  'XXXX',  'YYYY')
                    AND data_date BETWEEN TO_DATE('07/12/2011 000000', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24MISS')
                            AND TO_DATE('08/12/2011 235959', 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24MISS')

  • Need help with ora-01036  illegal variable name/number

    Can you help me fix the following problem.
    I'm getting an oracle exceptioin while running the following.
    OracleParameter[] myParameters = new OracleParameter[] { new OracleParameter("SELECTEDREGIONS", OracleDbType.RefCursor, ParameterDirection.Output) };
    XmlReader xRdr = oraclehelper.ExecuteXmlReader(myConnection,CommandType.StoredProcedure,"TEST_TESTPACKAGE.TEST_GETREGIONS_SP",myParameters);
    the oracle helper function is
    public XmlReader ExecuteXmlReader(OracleConnection inConnection,
    CommandType inCommandType,
    string inCommandText,
    params OracleParameter[] inCommandParameters)
    //create a command and prepare it for execution
    OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand(inCommandText,inConnection);
    cmd.CommandType = inCommandType;
    if (inCommandParameters != null)
    foreach (OracleParameter op in inCommandParameters)
    cmd.Parameters.Add(op);
    cmd.BindByName = true;
    cmd.XmlCommandType = OracleXmlCommandType.Query;
    cmd.XmlQueryProperties.RootTag = "Result";
    cmd.XmlQueryProperties.RowTag = "Row";
    if (cmd.Connection.State != ConnectionState.Open) cmd.Connection.Open();
    XmlReader retval = null;
    //create the DataAdapter & DataSet
    retval = cmd.ExecuteXmlReader();
    // detach the OracleParameters from the command object, so they can be used again.
    cmd.Parameters.Clear();
    return retval;
    The stored proc is:
    CREATE OR REPLACE package GJUTRAS.test_TestPackage AS
    type sregions is REF CURSOR;
    procedure test_GetRegions_sp
    selectedregions out sregions
    procedure test_GetRegByDescrip_sp
    descript in varchar2,
    selectedregions out sregions
    end test_TestPackage;
    CREATE OR REPLACE package body GJUTRAS.test_TestPackage AS
    procedure test_GetRegions_sp
    selectedregions out sregions
    is
    begin
    open selectedregions for
    select * from ods.region;
    end test_GetRegions_sp;
    procedure test_GetRegByDescrip_sp
    descript in varchar2,
    selectedregions out sregions

    begin
    open selectedregions for
    select * from ods.region where description = descript;
    end test_GetRegByDescrip_sp;
    end test_TestPackage;
    /

    The versions of the function that use text "select * from ods.region" work fine. It's using a stored procedure with ExecuteXmlReader that I can't seem to get working. The table is
    CREATE TABLE REGION (
    ID NUMBER(10) NOT NULL,

  • Anonymous PL/SQL . Illegal variable Name/number.

    Hi
    I have tested ODP.NET in ASP.NET for upload images. But when read back from DB then save image to local drive. When I tested given sample code working fine. But when I modify code only select statment in PL/SQL it gives error.
    Following statment is the error. Illegal variable Name/number. Pl.
    advice me what need to change.
    Dim block As String = " BEGIN " & _
    " SELECT Ad_Image into :2 from Printmedia WHERE Product_ID = " + ProdID + ";" & _
    " end ;"

    You use bind variables. Great!
    And then you do not use bind variables. Bummer!!
    Why can you make the output from the SQL a bind variable, but you do not supply Product ID as a bind variable? This causes a unique and non-sharable SQL statement in the SQL Shared Pool. Where the emphasis is very obvious - shared SQL.
    The definition should be something like this:
    Dim block As String = "BEGIN SELECT Ad_Image into :1 from Printmedia WHERE Product_ID = :2; END;"But why are you using an anonymous PL/SQL block and a bind variable to get to the image? Deal with it as a cursor. Much easier. E.g.
    Dim cursorSQL As String = "SELECT Ad_Image FROM Printmedia WHERE Product_ID = :1"Open the cursor. And there you have the resulting image column as a result.

  • Does "Target table" and "Error Table" need to be in same DB as OWB's?

    We get the following error ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [opixrb-3], [1036], ORA-01036: illegal variable name/number at the time of OWB execution
    OWB seems to successfully log the errors rows in the error table when a) target table and it’s b) error table are in the same database as OWB’s but throws ORA-01036 error when they are in a remote database from OWB's
    Any one has any information about this please...? It will be of great help

    Oracle has come back to us saying that
    "DML error logging feature is not supported for distributed DML."
    Bug 5698887 has more information about this.

    Hi,
    What tool are you using to insert the data?
    It can be difficult to perform inserts of multi-byte data using SQL*Plus and standard INSERT statements because of character mapping between the OS and SQL*Plus. I've had success with SQL*Loader, perl, and Java.
    Regards,
    Rob

  • Request: PL/SQL, External Table and SQL Loader

    I see lately Questions asked in SQL and PL/SQL forum regarding SQL Loader and External Table are being moved to {forum:id=732}.
    Being an PL/SQL developer for some time now i feel External Table (and if i may, SQL Loader and DBMS_DATAPUMP) are very much an integral part of a PL/SQL development and the question related to these topics are well suited in SQL and PL/SQL forum. Even in SQL and PL/SQL FAQ we have exclusive content that discuss on these topics {message:id=9360007}
    So i would like to request the moderators to consider not moving such questions out of the SQL and PL/SQL forum.
    Thanks,

  • SQL LOADER , EXTERNAL  TABLE and ODBS DATA SOURCE

    hello
    Can any body help loading data from dbase file .dbt to an oracle 10g table.
    I tried last day with SQL LOADER, EXTERNAL table , and ODBC data source.
    Why all of these utilities still failing to solve my problem ?
    Is there an efficient way to reach this goal ?
    Thanks in advance

    export the dbase data file to text file,
    then you have choice of using either sql loader or external table option to use.

    Why?

    You don't mention which specific version of the operating system that you are using - Windows XP, Vista, or 7 and whether you're using a 32-bit or 64-bit version.
    FWIW, kernell32.dll is a Windows system-level module, so it's possible that you have some corruption in your Windows installation which is preventing FM from launching.
    Also, 2Gb of RAM is a bit lean for FM.

    I have no experience with external tables but my understanding is that they are described the same was as you would describe a file to be loaded by SQL Loader. When ever I create a sql loader control file to load a date column I use syntax like this:
    DATE_M                                             "TO_DATE(:DATE_M,'dd.mm.yyyy')",Not sure if that will work for external tables or not.

  • XML File in External Table - OS error permission denied.

    Hi.
    10g R2, Red Hat Linux
    I'm using the article (see below, taken from http://www.dbazine.com/olc/olc-articles/scardina1 by Mark Scardina) to create an external table where I'd store my XML file.
    So, I
    1. Created a directory xmlfile_dir
    2. Granted access to needed db user
    3. Created the table
    CREATE TABLE relayxml_xt (doc CLOB)
    ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
    TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
    DEFAULT DIRECTORY xmlfile_dir
    ACCESS PARAMETERS
    FIELDS (lobfn CHAR TERMINATED BY ',')
    COLUMN TRANSFORMS (doc FROM lobfile (lobfn))
    LOCATION ('xml.dat')
    REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
    4. mv relay.xml /xmlfile_dir/xml.dat
    When I run SELECT * FROM relayxml_xt I get this:
    Error starting at line 1 in command:
    select * from relayxml_xt
    Error report:
    SQL Error: ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
    ORA-29400: data cartridge error
    KUP-04063: unable to open log file RELAYXML_XT_28773.log

    ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", line 19
    29913. 00000 - "error in executing %s callout"
    *Cause:    The execution of the specified callout caused an error.
    *Action:   Examine the error messages take appropriate action.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Using External Tables
    Introduced in Oracle9i, Oracle’s external table feature offers a solution to define a table in the database while leaving the data stored outside of the database. Prior to Oracle Database 10g, external tables can be used only as read-only tables. In other words, if you create an external table for XML files, these files can be queries and the table can be joined with other tables. However, no DML operations, such as INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE, are allowed on the external tables.
    Note: In Oracle Database 10g , by using the ORACLE_DATAPUMP driver instead of the default ORACLE_DRIVER, you can write to external tables. In Oracle Database 10g, you can define VARCHAR2 and CLOB columns in external tables to store XML documents. The following example shows how you can create an external table with a CLOB column to store the XML documents. First, you need to create a DIRECTORY to read the data files:
    CREATE DIRECTORY data_file_dir AS 'D:\xmlbook\Examples\Chapter9\src\xml';
    GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY data_file_dir TO demo;
    Then, you can use this DIRECTORY to define an external table:
    CREATE TABLE customer_xt (doc CLOB)
    ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
    TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
    DEFAULT DIRECTORY data_file_dir
    ACCESS PARAMETERS
    FIELDS (lobfn CHAR TERMINATED BY ',')
    COLUMN TRANSFORMS (doc FROM lobfile (lobfn))
    LOCATION ('xml.dat')
    REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
    The xml.dat file follows:
    customer1.xml
    customer2.xml
    If you describe the table, you can see the following definition:
    SQL> DESC customer_xt;
    Name Null? Type
    DOC CLOB
    Then, you can query the XML document as follows:
    SELECT XMLType(doc).extract('/Customer/EMAIL')
    FROM customer_xt;
    Though the query requires run-time XMLType creation and XPath evaluation, this approach is useful when applications just need a few queries on the XML data and don’t want to upload the XML data into database. In Oracle Database 10g, you cannot create external tables that contain pre-defined XMLType column types.

    Your don't have the proper operating system privileges. Be sure that you (=oracle OS user / the OS Linux user that is starting the database) are allowed have read privs on the path and/or file.
    for example...
    chown -Rf /xxxxxxx/xxxx/etc
    ls -l file.xml
    file.xml    oracle:oinstall    rw-rw-rw

    I don't think there is any way to modify your table definition to accommodate the (apparent) fact that missing values generate nothing in the file you want to load.
    It seems that you are saying that the format of the file is not actually fixed in any way, that is has some, but not all values, and that mising values are just skipped.
    Assuming for a moment that the fields are delimited bt a pipe symbol (|) then it seems to me that you have this situation :
    Defined file format:
    ID|name|age|addresswhich would imply the file should look like:
    123|John|42|123 MainSt.
    456|Fred|39|45 Pine St.but sometimes you get:
    12345|27|12 Elm St.If this is the case, there is no possible way that the file can be reliably parsed since there is no consistnet format. If field values could be missing, you need to get whoever generates the file to do something more like:
    12345||27|12 Elm St.That is, put in the field delimiters even if there is no value for the field.

  • External Table LKM: error during task interpretation

    I've had this problem more than once now, using "LKM File to Oracle (EXTERNAL TABLE)". Before the interface can even run, I get an error, as if the script can't be output. I've tried removing the LKM and reimporting. No use. I am using this LKM successfully in other projects... not sure why it would have issues here. When I had this problem previously, Oracle Support couldn't reproduce it (they certainly tried). I managed to work around it then, but now... this is getting problematic. Insight welcome.
    Here's the start of the error:
