Invalid number error when calculating with sysdate

Hello - I am getting invalid number error for query below:
SELECT *
FROM
trkg
WHERE
trkg.tran_type=500
AND
trkg.mod_date_time>sysdate-0.5
I am not sure what is wrong with above query. Strange part is that it executes fine in one environmnet and returns 'invalid number' error in other environmnet? Please help me find missing setting.

more information:
Table1: LOCN_HDR with field locn_brcd and locn_id
locn_brcd locn_id
26001A 0000086
26002A 0000087
26001B 0000088
Table2: PICK_LOCN with field LOCN_ID
locn_id
0000086
0000087
0000088
Table3: TRKG with field from_locn and mod_date_time (this is timestamp field)
from_locn mod_date_Time
0000086 29-MAY-13 10.09.23.000000000 AM
0000087 29-MAY-13 10.11.48.000000000 AM
0000088 31-MAY-13 04.07.21.000000000 PM
Now I combine Table1 and Table3
select * from appwms.locn_hdr lh
join
(SELECT lh.locn_brcd,trkg.mod_Date_Time from appwms.trkg
join appwms.locn_hdr lh
on trkg.FROM_LOCN = lh.LOCN_ID
where
trkg.TRAN_TYPE = 500
and trkg.mod_Date_time>sysdate-5
) trkg1 on lh.locn_brcd=trkg1.locn_brcd
-- returns values correctly
Now when I join another table to above (ie table 2), it returns 'invalid number'
select * from appwms.locn_hdr lh
join
(SELECT lh.locn_brcd,trkg.mod_Date_Time from appwms.trkg
join appwms.locn_hdr lh
on trkg.FROM_LOCN = lh.LOCN_ID
where
trkg.TRAN_TYPE = 500
and trkg.mod_Date_time>sysdate-5
) trkg1 on lh.locn_brcd=trkg1.locn_brcd
join
(select pld.locn_id,lh.locn_brcd
from APPWMS.PICK_LOCN PLD join appwms.locn_hdr lh
on pld.locn_id = lh.LOCN_ID ) picklocn on picklocn.locn_brcd=lh.locn_brcd
why are rows returned with one join? when i have more than one join why does it return error 'invalid number'.

Invalid number error when using case when

I have table called NATIONAL_RARE_ECOSYSTEMS which has 1 column called TEST_COLUMN (data type: varchar2):
TEST_COLUMN
rare ecosystem
rare
0
0
(null)
(null)
what I want is a query which will add a column called NRE_SCORE which will give each row instance a score of 0 if it null.
If it is 0 then score should be 0.
If the row contains any text then score should be 1
I have written the query:
SELECT
(CASE WHEN test_column is null THEN 0
WHEN test_column = 0 THEN 0
WHEN test_column > 0 THEN 1
END) AS NRE_SCORE
FROM NATIONAL_RARE_ECOSYSTEMS;
I get the error message:
ORA-01722: invalid number
01722. 00000 - "invalid number"
I think this is because on the 2nd and 3rd line I'm trying to do arithmetic on a column which is varchar2 which I know I cant do.
How do I write a query which says: if the row contains text then give score of 1?
I'm using oracle 11g.

I'm using oracle 11g.Here's one way:
SELECT       CASE
           WHEN NVL (test_column, '0') = '0'
           THEN 0
           ELSE 1
       END          AS nre_score
,       ...          -- you must want other columns, too
FROM       national_rare_ecosystems
;Since you don't really care about the numeric value, don't use NUMBERs anywhere; stick with VARCHAR2s, such as '0'.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and also post the results you want from that data.
Point out where the query above is getting the wrong results, and explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from the sample data in those palces.

Invalid number error when using external table

Hello.
I have a problem with creating an external table with number field.
My txt file looks like:
11111|text text|03718
22222|text text text|04208
33333|text|04215
I try to create external table like:

old_id number(5))
organization external (Type oracle_loader default directory dir
access parameters(
RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE

Try this:
create table table_ex
id varchar2(5),
name varchar2(100),
old_id number
organization external
(Type oracle_loader default directory dir access parameters
( RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE fields terminated by '|'
(id CHAR(5),

ORA-01722: invalid number error when comparing varchar and number

Hi,
We are upgrading our databases to 10g and have issue with the below query
SELECT VALUE FROM table1 WHERE SUBSTR (VALUE, 10) = 1.
In table1, VALUE is the column name and it will have data ending with number. ex: SIGNATURE1, SIGNATURE2, SIGNATURE3, SIGNATURE4....SIGNATURE9.
As output of substr is varchar, Is comparing it with number throwing the error?
If so, the same query is working perfect in another 10g database which we migrated into.
Please help.
Thanks,
Madhuri

I think its data issue. may be some data is defected where string after 10th place contains non numeric character and you are trying to compare it with 1.
My test
Case 1
Below code works fine, since all 10th place characters are digits, so can be compared with 1
with c as
(select 'SIGNATURE1' n from dual union all
select 'SIGNATURE2' from dual union all
select 'SIGNATURE3' from dual union all
select 'SIGNATURE9 ' from dual )
select n,substr(n,10) from c where substr(n,10)=1
Case 2
with c as
(select 'SIGNATURE1' n from dual union all
select 'SIGNATURE2' from dual union all
select 'SIGNATURE3' from dual union all
select 'SIGNATURE9a' from dual ) -------non numeric character
select n,substr(n,10) from c where substr(n,10)=1
This query shows error because , after 10th place there exists a non numeric character

Invalid number error when trying to convert a varchar2 to a number.

I need to extract the middle four numbers from a varchar2(12) and then convert it to a number. The middle four are numbers but the first four can have letters. I've tried
TO_NUMBER(substr(wptk.ext_wo_num,5,4))
TO_NUMBER(LPAD(wptk.ext_wo_num,5,4))
substr(TO_NUMBER(wptk.ext_wo_num) ,5,4)
cast as number
I need to get rid of any 0 that are at the beginning of the four numbers. Some of the data has no 0 and some can have up to three 0 at the beginning. Is there a way to do that?
thanks.

Invalid number error for bind dialog

Oracle SQL Developer version 1.1.2.25 BUILD MAIN-25.79
Running under WinXP
Issue description:
We get an invalid number error when bind variable filled with an enter in the bind dialog

It is hard to say what is causing your problem without the specifics (ie query and value entered for the bind variable). Try running the same statement with the value of the bind variable in place of the bind variable (ie instead of running "select * from dual where dummy = :var" with a value of 'x' for :var, run "select * from dual where dummy = 'x'"). If you get the same error, then it is not an issue with the use of bind variables.
Be aware that currently you cannot define the data type of bind variables (unlike TOAD, etc) and they are all treated as character values. I wouldn't have thought that this would cause you problem unless you are using a bind variable to restrict a numeric column to a specific value and you are entering a non-numeric bind (ie "select * from people where person_id = :id" and using 'xyz' as the value for :id).

Invalid Number Error in IR search bar.

Hi,
I am getting an invalid number error when i put a value in search bar without selecting the column name.
I followed ' "Invalid number" error using Interactive Report search on collection' thread and accordingly
1) Purged User preferences and session state.
2) Cleared browser settings and cache.
3) Deleted old region and Created a new region on the page with the same query.
If I select a column and search it works fine but when I just give an arrangement id which looks like 'ARR12345' directly in search bar it throws Invalid Number.
This is working perfectly fine in other environments which is replica of this one.
I also ran Apex util function to remove sort preferences.
Also my report is a very simple report like select * from a,b where a.id = b.id.
Please help me. This is a production issue.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Garima

Case When Statement and ORA:01722 Invalid number error

Hi folks, I have posted this under another heading as well under E-business suite so apologies if some you have already seen it but I would really appreciate some help on this one. Any suggestions are most welcome.
We are trying to put together a calculation that returns the number of days absent an individual has had in a given time period. We need to cater for those absences that started before the period and are closed during it, absence that start during the period and end after it, and those that open and close within it.
The period is always a rolling 6 months from sysdate.
This is the calc we have come up with so far which works for some people but we get the invalid number error if the absence includes a half day - so 0.5, 1.5,etc.
This is probably over complicated but we are not techie at all so are learning as we go!
We are using the HRMS - Administration - Oracle Human Resources (Core) business area in 10G and the Absence Attendance and Person folders.
SUM(TO_NUMBER(NVL(( CASE WHEN Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date < TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') THEN ( CASE WHEN Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" > SYSDATE THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( CASE WHEN TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') >= Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN SYSDATE <= Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) END ) END ) END ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') >= Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN SYSDATE <= Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) END ) END ) END ) END ) END ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( CASE WHEN TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') >= Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN SYSDATE <= Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) END ) END ) END ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') >= Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN SYSDATE <= Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( Absence Attendance.Duration Days ) END ) END ) END ) END ) END ),( DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") )),'999999990D00'))

Hi,
It could be that this is because you are using SYSDATE which contains the time as a fraction rather than TRUNC(SYSDATE) which just contains the current time. It could be that your working_dates_between raises this error.
However, your formula is far more complicated than it needs to be.
Firstly, you want to look at the date window ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE), -6) to TRUNC(SYSDATE). Then you want to look at the portion of the absence that falls in the date window. This is GREATEST(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date, ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE), -6)) to LEAST(NVL(Absence Attendance."Actual End Date",TRUNC(SYSDATE)), TRUNC(SYSDATE)). You may need to add 1 to the absence end date because this is the last day of their absence rather than the date they return. It depends how you calculate the days between the start and end
date of the absence. You can create calculations for the start and end date of the absences within the 6 months time window. Create calculation AbsenceStart as
GREATEST(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date, ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE), -6))
and AbsenceEnd as
LEAST(NVL(Absence Attendance."Actual End Date",TRUNC(SYSDATE)), TRUNC(SYSDATE))
Then you need to only pick up absence that a part of the absence in your 6 month date window. You can use a condition in the workbook or a condition in a case statement to do this. You then need to calculate the difference between these dates and SUM all the values.
SUM(CASE WHEN AbsenceEnd >= AbsenceStart THEN WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(AbsenceStart, AbsenceEnd) END)
That's it. Not so complicated after all.

We are trying to put together a calculation that returns the number of days absent an individual has had in a given time period. We need to cater for those absences that started before the period and are closed during it, absence that start during the period and end after it, and those that open and close within it.
The period is always a rolling 6 months from sysdate.
This is the calc we have come up with so far which works for some people but we get the invalid number error if the absence includes a half day - so 0.5, 1.5,etc.
This is probably over complicated but we are not Techie at all so are learning as we go! We are using the HRMS - Administration - Oracle Human Resources (Core) business area in 10G and the Absence Attendance and Person folders.
SUM(TO_NUMBER(NVL(( CASE WHEN Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date < TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') THEN ( CASE WHEN Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" > SYSDATE THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( CASE WHEN TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') >= Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN SYSDATE <= Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) END ) END ) END ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') >= Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN SYSDATE <= Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) END ) END ) END ) END ) END ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( CASE WHEN TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') >= Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN SYSDATE <= Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) END ) END ) END ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') >= Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN SYSDATE <= Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( Absence Attendance.Duration Days ) END ) END ) END ) END ) END ),( DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") )),'999999990D00'))

Hi,
It could be that this is because you are using SYSDATE which contains the time as a fraction rather than TRUNC(SYSDATE) which just contains the current time. It could be that your working_dates_between raises this error.
However, your formula is far more complicated than it needs to be.
Firstly, you want to look at the date window ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE), -6) to TRUNC(SYSDATE). Then you want to look at the portion of the absence that falls in the date window. This is GREATEST(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date, ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE), -6)) to LEAST(NVL(Absence Attendance."Actual End Date",TRUNC(SYSDATE)), TRUNC(SYSDATE)). You may need to add 1 to the absence end date because this is the last day of their absence rather than the date they return. It depends how you calculate the days between the start and end
date of the absence. You can create calculations for the start and end date of the absences within the 6 months time window. Create calculation AbsenceStart as
GREATEST(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date, ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE), -6))
and AbsenceEnd as
LEAST(NVL(Absence Attendance."Actual End Date",TRUNC(SYSDATE)), TRUNC(SYSDATE))
Then you need to only pick up absence that a part of the absence in your 6 month date window. You can use a condition in the workbook or a condition in a case statement to do this. You then need to calculate the difference between these dates and SUM all the values.
SUM(CASE WHEN AbsenceEnd >= AbsenceStart THEN WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(AbsenceStart, AbsenceEnd) END)
That's it. Not so complicated after all.

Invalid number error with Form on table page

We used the "Form on Table..." wizard to create a simple page to update the SCOTT.EMP table. When we submit the page we get the ORA-01722: invalid number error. When I view the data in the WWV_FLOW_DATA view in the FLOWS_010500 schema, I can see all the data from our form in long format with the actual values that were submitted. But I can not track down where this error is coming from.

James,
What data did you enter in each field? Could it be as simple as you tried to enter character data into the deptno column?

Error Invalid Number message when sending text

Ever since I upgraded to an iPhone 5s I get an Error Invalid Number message when sending a text to a phone number that used to work just fine from my 4s. In fact I can receive a text from this number but when I try to reply to that text I get the error message again.
I deleted the contact info in case there was something broken there and I'm trying it with just the raw phone number but without any luck. What can I do? It's my boss's number so it's important I fix this problem. All other contacts and texts are working just fine, it's just this one phone, a Samsung galaxy on T-mobile if that helps.

I am having the same exact issue with my Nokia Lumia 920 Windows phone. I was texting my son this morning when one text immediately returned a "+1 (112) 161-1611 Error Invalid Number. Please re-send u sing a vlid 10 digit mobile number" message. His contact info looked fine, but I edited it, re-saved it and tried texting again. Same result - except the number reported in the error message showed 2 "1s" in front of his mobile number. I was able to text my wife a couple of times to report this to her and then it happened with her number in exactly the same manner. I am still able to text people I work with - so this leads me to believe it has something to do with phone numbers that have been saved outside of my corporate contact list. I will be monitoring this posting to see if there is a fix.

ORA-01722: invalid number error with Bulk collect

Hi ,
I have been using the script to delete old seasonal data from my application DB tables. The stored procedure has been created successfully but when i try to run the proc it has been throwing 'ORA-01722: invalid number' exception at line 'FETCH C1_CUR BULK COLLECT INTO C1_TYPE_VAR LIMIT v_bulklimit;'.
Could you please help me here?
Below is the stored proc:

IF COMMIT_VARIABLE = 2 THEN
COMMIT;
COMMIT_VARIABLE := 0;
END IF;
EXIT WHEN C2_DEL%NOTFOUND;
END LOOP;
CLOSE C2_DEL;
END;

Although there are many things which should not have been done in the posted code, I could not find any reason why the Invalid number error should occur at the Fetch clause.
I would suggest you to Insert into Table by providing the Order of Columns i.e. Insert into table (col1, ... colN) values (coll(i).col1...col(i).colN);
I tested below code and it did not give any errors.
drop table test_table;
create table test_Table
rid   varchar2(100),
emp_id number(5),
fname   varchar2(20),
lname   varchar2(50)
set serveroutput on;
declare
cursor c_cur is
      select rowid rid, e.*
        from employees e
       where rownum < 10;
type typ_cur is table of c_cur%rowtype;
typ typ_cur;
l_bulk_limit    number := 5;
begin
open c_cur;
loop
    fetch c_cur bulk collect into typ limit l_bulk_limit;
    dbms_output.put_line('Collection Count :: ' || typ.count);
    forall i in 1..typ.count --typ.first..typ.last
      insert into test_Table (rid, emp_id, fname, lname) values (typ(i).rid,typ(i).employee_id,typ(i).first_name,typ(i).last_name);
    dbms_output.put_line('Processed ' || l_bulk_limit || ' records.');
    exit when c_cur%notfound;
end loop;
commit;
end;
select * from test_table;PS:- 1. When you are processing only 4 Records, then why are you breaking them in 2 Loops?
2. Why Commit every time you are processing a DML? Why not maintain an Error Flag and Rollback the Transaction as soon as error is encountered?
3. Use "{code}" (Exclude Double Quotes) to format the code. I am not sure if works.

P.

Invalide identifier error, when use subselect

Hi all,
I got "ORA-0094: sp.spriden_pidm invalid identifier "error when runing the following query.
select (select t.name from
(select rownum row_number, s.spriden_last_name name
from spriden s
where s.spriden_pidm = sp.spriden_pidm) t
where t.row_number = 1) last_name
from spriden sp
where sp.spriden_pidm = 70105;
Any one has an idea why this is happening?
Thanks

Unless I am missing something here, this looks like a straight pivot query to me.

You may need to use something other than the contact_name in the order by in the row_number function if you require the values in specific columns, but given your sample data, I have no idea what that might be.

This error occurs when you try to create a materialized view , but if you run the sql the results are perfectly fine. Well it happend to me also and to fix this I made sure all the coulmns have the same data type which are used in joins or in where clause.
use
where
to_number(col1)=to_number(col2) and to_number(col3)=to_number(col4)
hope this helps..
