Post the ddl for the source table.
Also do a test. Create a table that is a clone of the MV table. Then try to do an INSERT INTO SELECT * FROM the source table into the clone table and see if you get an error.
Don't forget to post the 4 digit Oracle versions of the source and target databases.

  • [PL/SQL Error] ORA-01843: not a valid month, not sure how to troubleshoot

    Trying to use PL/SQL to automatically create a report that show the following:

    When I run the PL/SQL I get the following

    [error]
    The error occurs on this part of the PL/SQL

                            trunc(sysdate-29);I'm using the number 29 because I'm using a test database to test this first before moving it into production. And my test data only goes back to early August 2006.
    Also, I'm not doing anything with months, so I am suprised that it is throwing this type of error.
    thanks

    I tested a snippet of code in my production environment, just to see if I would get any results:
    --registered users weekly starts
    select count(*), trunc(next_day(sysdate-1, 'SUNDAY')-7), trunc(sysdate-1)
         --into v_weekly_count_total_ru, v_weekly_start_date, v_weekly_end_date
              from entities
                   where list_id = 3290
                   and participation_code_id = 10
                   and trunc(participation_date)
                   between trunc(next_day(sysdate-1, 'SUNDAY')-7) and trunc(sysdate-1);
    COUNT(*)     TRUNC(NEXT_DAY(SYSDATE-1,'SUND     TRUNC(SYSDATE-1)--INTOV_WEEKLY
    1     09/10/2006 00:00:00     09/11/2006 00:00:00I did a double check in my test DB to make sure there is data there:
    select count(*)
         from entities
              where trunc(participation_date)
              between to_date('01-08-2006','DD-MM-YYYY')
              and to_date('14-08-2006','DD-MM-YYYY')
              and list_id = 3290;
    COUNT(*)
    11So I'm pretty sure that I'm not pulling anything null.
    thanks

  • ORA-01843: not a valid month . Receive this error when running report in reporting services but not when running query in BIDS

    sql server 2008 r2
    RS2008 r2
    I can execute the query in BIDS 2008 with out a problem and I can run on our RS2005 server without a problem
    But when I deploy report and run on our RS2008 server I get the error
    An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
    Query execution failed for dataset 'NIR'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)
    ORA-01843: not a valid month 
    QUERY:
    select * from NIR_QUARTERLY where birth_date between :PARAM1 and :PARAM2
    order by PT_CODE

    CAUSE
    The problem is caused by not using VALID dates values in the dataset.
    - This data problem was masked in the original version as the Predicate(s) used can change between versions of Oracle
    - Oracle does *not* guarantee the same explain plan or the specific order of predicates used between versions of Oracle
    Reviewing the  EXPLAIN PLAN for both versions revealed in this case:
    1) The table was partitioned
    2) The EXPLAIN PLANS were not the same due to how the partitions were accessed
    3) If the same query was used against a non-partitioned table using the same data, the following error would always occur
       ORA-01843: not a valid month
    4) The problem string value was in this case found to include the string value of  '0000-00-00'
      The ORA-01843 occurred when using the TO_DATE function against '0000-00-00'
    There is *no* Year= '0000' Month= '00' or day = '00' -- therefore the  ORA-01843: not a valid month

  • Oracle error "ORA-01843: not a valid month" when trying to run sqlldr

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to load some data into a staging database via a CSV file using sqlldr, and am running into an issue where it doesn't like the date format I'm using.
    Here is my input data:
    2012-01-09 16:28:12 -05:00Here is the entry in the .ctl file:
    created TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE 'yyyy-mm-dd HH24:MI:SS TZR'And finally, here is the entry in the .sql file:
    created TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONEAfter I try to load, I get greeted with the dreaded error message: Record 1: Rejected - Error on table WTPART, column CREATED. ORA-01843: not a valid month
    I'm really confused as to why it's blowing up on the date, because it seems to me that "01" is indeed a valid date in terms of the date format I'm using. Any ideas? Thanks!

  • Getting Ora 01843  not a Valid month Error

    Hi
    I was trying to assign the data in MM/DD/YY format
    from a date value '09/25/2009'..
    I cannot Obain the result i always get this
    ORA-01843: not a valid month
    May i ask you kindly to help me out here.
    Below is the code Snippet;
    DECLARE
    lv_date DATE;
    BEGIN
    lv_date := '09/25/2009';
    BEGIN
    lv_date:= TO_DATE(lv_date,'MM/DD/YY');
    lv_date:= TO_CHAR(lv_date,'MM/DD/YY');
    -- I slso tried this way but same error.
    -- lv_date := TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(lv_date,'MM/DD/YYYY'),'MM/DD/YY');
    END;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('the date format is = '|| lv_date);
    EXCEPTION
    WHEN OTHERS THEN
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Err from MainBlock '|| SQLCODE || SQLERRM);
    END;

    Hi,
    1)
    lv_date := '09/25/2009';lv_date is a variable of datatype date, but you are assigning a varchar, which Oracle is not able to do implicit conversion because of nls_date_format
    change to something like to_date('09/25/2009','mm/dd/yyyy')
    2)
    lv_date:= TO_DATE(lv_date,'MM/DD/YY');
    lv_date:= TO_CHAR(lv_date,'MM/DD/YY');Why would be assinging a char value to date datatype. Use any one depending on datatype of lv_date

  • SQL execution error, ORA-01843: not a valid month

    Im using ASP/VBScript and its my first time starting to use Oracle as a DB provider.
    Just having an issue with a statement that I have.
    Heres my statement:
    SELECT T592_NOON.SHIP_CODE, T592_NOON.REPORT_DATE, T592_NOON.L_B, T592_NOON.AVERAGE_SPEED, T592_NOON.SEASTATE, T592_NOON.DISTANCE, T592_NOON.WIND_DIRECTION, T592_NOON.IFO_MAIN, T592_NOON.IFO_BOILER, T592_NOON.IFO_AUXENGINE FROM T592_NOON WHERE (((SHIP_CODE)='S271') AND (REPORT_DATE BETWEEN to_date('08/02/2004 13:00:00', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI') and to_date('28/02/2004 18:15:00', 'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI')))
    Whenever I run it it errors and returns:
    SQL execution error, ORA-01843: not a valid month
    Can anyone tell why this wouldnt work?
    REPORT_DATE type is DATE
    REPORT_DATE Sample data: 2003-04-28-12.00.00.000000

    Changing the format of the date seemed to fix it.
    Incorrect: '08/02/2004 13:00:00'
    Correct: '08-FEB-2004 13:00'

  • Date error ORA-01843: not a valid month

    Hi,
    I am in a 4.01 Apex environment with NLS_DATE_FORMAT     mm/dd/yyyy. I created a view with a CASE statements using 'when eventstartdate between '08/15/2010' and '06/1/2011' then...' clauses and the view is created fine. I also can query the view with no problem with SQL workshop and the CASE statements work as expected. When I create an interactive report on that view I keep getting ORA-01843: not a valid month. I even tried matching the format in the Interactive Report column format mask to the NLS format for the date and still get error.
    What seems especially strange to me is that even if I have the view column defined with a 'to_char' I still get the same error when I use the CASE statement to build the view. Doesn't the Interactive Report just 'see' the View column definitions-- why should it 'care' how the view was built?
    The only way I can get the View to work with an Interactive report in any manner is to remove all the CASE statements and define the 'eventstartdate' as text using to_char but that then eliminates my ability to do any filters that require date comparisons with between or '>', '<'.
    Help would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Pat

    Quick late night response - always convert your dates for comparison. Apples to apples
    Instead of between '01/31/2012', use either
    TO_DATE('01/31/2012', 'MM/DD/YYYY')or
    DATE '2012-01-31'More related info

  • ORA-01843 Not a valid month Error

    Dear all,
    We did a database upgrade from 9.2.0.1 to 11gR2 and after that everything is working fine.
    But now we noticed that the users are getting ORA-01843 Not a valid month Error.
    I changed the NLS_DATE_FORMAT in the init.ora file, but still the error persist.
    As a work around I changed the NLS_DATE_FORMAT=DD-MM-YYYY on the client pc registry and now its working in that pc..
    Is there any other way so that the change gets affected globally ??
    Any tips
    Thanks in adv,

    MaheshNLS_DATE_FORMAT can be set in multiple places, but it's not an either/or situation. Setting it in an init parm at the db level is the WEAKEST setting. That setting is overridden by the client OS, which in turn can be overridden by an ALTER SESSION, which in turn can be overridden by use of TO_CHAR and TO_DATE at the individual sql statement. and if the date is being entered by a human at a keyboard (actually keyed in, not picked from a calendar tool or some sort of drop-down pick list) you really have no direct control over the format of the string they key in. So ultimately it is up to the application to insure that character strings presented as dates are in the correct format.
    Which is why I advise developers to ALWAYS use to_char and to_date at the sql statement level. It is the only way they can insure control over the setting.

    Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.
    Always say which version of Oracle you're using (for example, 11.2.0.2.0).
    See the forum FAQ {message:id=9360002}
    SELECT column_name FROM table_name WHERE start_time < '01/01/2011 00:00:00 AM';Use \ tags, as explained in the forum FAQ, so that this site won't garble your messages so much.
    ORA-01843: not a valid month
    In table the start_time is stored in 2/16/2013 8:31:01 PM format. If start_time is a DATE (or a TIMESTAMP) then it is not stored in that format, or any other format you would recognize.  Regardless of what the format is, don't try to compare a DATE with a VARCHAR2, such as '01/01/2011 00:00:00 AM'.  Use TO_DATE to convert the VARCHAR2 to a DATE.  For exampleWHERE start_time < TO_DATE ( '01/01/2011 12:00:00 AM'
                   , 'MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS AM'
    If you're using AM in a time, then 0 is not a possible hour.  The hours are 12, 1, 2, ..., 11 when using AM or PM.
