Missing operator in query expression

Greetings,
I'm attempting to access a MS Acess database, but getting the following error.
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'Org Name'.
The error occurs between the following two lines.
String SQL = "SELECT Org Name FROM OrganizationTable";
ResultSet resultset = statement.executeQuery(SQL);Where Org Name is the data set I'm trying to access and OrganizationTable is the database table.
Any help would be appreciated.

What is happening is that the interpreter is seeing
"Org Name" as two different columns and/or values and
is expecting an operator. Somehow you need to
indicate that it should be interpreted as a single
column.
Try one of these (I'm not sure if one will work since
I don't work with access much, but I'm guessing that
it would work similar to other dbs I've used):
String SQL = "SELECT [Org Name] FROM
OrganizationTable";
or
String SQL = "SELECT 'Org Name' FROM
OrganizationTable";
Thanks boss,
I started to get it figured as I was able to open a result set that didn't have any whitespace in the name in the same table.
FYI, [Org Name], did the trick. Single quotes do not work.
Thanks again :)

String values in a SQL where clause must be wrapped in quotes. Try this:
strSQL = "SELECT KitID,ImgKitCatalogue,KitDescriptionShort FROM tblMovements WHERE KitID = '" & strKitID & "' ORDER BY KitID"

Missing operator in query expression (Help)

Hi I'm trying to implement "OR" into my SQL statement and I think I'm doing something wrong.. Could someone take a quick look at my query and tell me where I'm missing this operator.
int insert=stmt.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO tblTest(EnglishName, FileName, RlsID, InitRlsInd, DirID, ObsoleteRlsInd) VALUES
("+"\'"+jTextFieldName.getText()+"\'"+","+
"\'"+jTextFieldFileName.getText()+"\'"+","+
"\'"+getComboID(jComboBoxRelease)+"\'"+","+
"\'"+getRadioID(jRadioButtonInitRlsY)+"\'"+","+"OR"+getRadioID (jRadioButtonInitRlsN)+"\'"+","+
"\'"+getComboID(jComboBoxDirectory)+"\'"+","+
"\'"+getRadioID(jRadioButtonObsoRlsY)+"\'"+","+"OR"+getRadioID(jRadioButtonObsoRlsN)+"\'"+ ")");
Thanks in advance.

cotton if your still out there..
String sql = "INSERT INTO tblTest("
+ "EnglishName,"
+ "FileName,"
+ "RlsID,"
+ "InitRlsInd,"
+ "DirID,"
+ "ObsoleteRlsInd,"
+ "VALUES(?,?,?,?,?,?)";
PreparedStatement pstmt = dB.prepareStatement(sql);
Now if I use pstmt and continue my INSERT I am not able to implement the values the users will put into the text and combo boxes..
I tried this for the textbox, but it doesn't work... pstmt.setString(jTextFieldName.getText()); I know this is obviously wrong, but I'm unfirmilar with prepared statments and I looked at the Java Docs and they don't show a specific example for what I want to do.. Atleast what I found doesnt. Could you show me a quick example??
Thanks,

[ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator)

Aello' - as you can see in my database table their are two
records to delete based on the HISTORY_ID of 1. This was working
just fine when I was using a MS SQL Server database but when I
switched to the MS Access database I get this error now.
Is their a syntax difference?

Issue sourcing from Microsoft Access - Syntax error (missing operator)

I apologize if this has been discussed before. I used the search and went through 7 pages of results, but didn't see a similar issue.
I'm using Windows 7, ODI 11.1.1.5.
I'm trying to source from a local MS Access DB to an Oracle DB.
The session fails pretty much immediately (on step 3) - trying to pull data from the source table.
"Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression"
The source table is very simple and for this test I'm using no joins. Literally a 'select * from'.
However - when I look at the SQL generated - it's wrong. It's got duplicate lines in the SQL and not all columns selected have a comma after and before the next column.
If I run it direct on Access - I get the same error.
If I clean up the SQL - it'll run fine on Access.
I'm using the SQL to Oracle LKM.
I wondered if it was something with the ODBC driver - so I've tried other versions of ODBC drivers for MS Access, and even switched the database itself from the Office 2007 format, back to 2003, and tried a driver for that.
Same result.
If I go to the model and right click and look for the data in the table - it displays fine. So obviously ODI can connect and see the data...
So I guess my questions are:
- is the SQL to Oracle LKM the correct one to source from Access ? I've even gone into it and specified MS Access as the source. Same result.
- if it is the right one - what's going on ?? I've got to assume other people are pulling data from MS Access. Why the garbage SQL ? Clearly I'm missing something.
- and finally - worst case - but is there a way for me to overwrite the SQL being generated so I can correct it myself. This will be a PITA since I'll be source from a bunch of tables - but at least it might be a temporary stop gap...
thanks

I'm going to mark this as closed for now. I solved the SQL issue. It was to do with the way the tables / fields were named and how the fields were being brought into the workflow. Tidying up there fixed the problem.
Getting past that brought me to several other issues which I'm still working through. The current is an Invalid Fetch size error - but that appears to have been resolved in patch Doc ID: 13528165 in ODI 11g (ver 11.1.1.5.0)
given the initial issue that I'd raised is no longer a concern - I'm closing.

I wanted to have the SSDs in RAID0 with Win7 and the games on it, then a volume on the 2TB that the RAID backs up to, with the remaining 1.5TB just free storage space in another volume. I couldn't get raid past Win7's Where Do You Want To Install screen during installation, so I ended up installing the OS on just one SSD. I figured I'd backup the functioning OS to the 2TB then rebuild the RAID array and copy the OS back onto it.
The system had been up an running for a full day, being updated left and right nonstop, several big games put in, etc etc, everything was running fine until I decided to run MSI Live Update and started pumping in updates. Constant errors as I went along, but generally it'd just skip to the next installation attempt. When it got down to updating the BIOS and did it's DOS injection thing, it for forcefully shut down the PC, restarted, did Post, flashed the BIOS wallpaper, restarted again, Posted, no BIOS wallpaper, just endless "Missing Operating System". Walked away, went to bed, back up and at it for a few minutes (Will be back tonight for however long it takes to get it fixed). I switched the BIOS switch over, no dice. Feels like it's a BIOS "OS" that's gone, and that a BIOS reset/flash is in order or something, but I've never done these things.
Thanks in advance for any rendered assistance that leads to resolution.

The SSDs are definitely hooked up where they're supposed to go; the motherboard had a little sticker n' everything for where the two SSD dedicated SATA 6.0gbps ports were :P AND my case has 2 specific slots for SSDs which don't use the hotswap electronics PCB passthrough like the other 4 bays, which is where the 2T is installed. I was going to take the 2TB out and hook it up normally and see if that changed the speeds, but I'm leaning towards wishful thinking. Did I mention I went and made several volumes with different file cluster sizes to test and see if that was the issue? Alas, all were borked. It still confuses me though because every once n' awhile it'd do massive burst speeds the way it's supposed to.
As far as I can recall I'm using up to date BIOS, the last one or two. One BIOS switch is set for the last BIOS, the other switch is a step back devoid of the Windows 8 stuff. I believe I have all the drivers up to date as well. Intel 335's are literally brand new, mine hadn't been more than 3 weeks old off the production line when I received them; IE, they should pretty much have the latest firmware on them which spares me the risk of destroying something precious
I MIGHT have a SATA external enclosure around here somewhere, if so, the 2TB could go in that for additional testing until I figure out where it's sustaining speeds of 2-10MB vs 100-150MB/second.
Meanwhile, the good news is that the system has been fully operational and hella stable. I hadn't slept in almost 3 days, playing and installing stuff nonstop. The system continues to run cooler (32c@stock CPU speed) as the thermal paste sets in, the knocking sound of the fan in the PSU has gone away upon me reawakening a bit ago, and amazingly, this massive system (with EIGHT fans) draws only 60-65 watts while desktopping. That's just astounding

PeopleCode :: Query API :: Query Expression collection problems

Hi all,
I'm trying to use the Query API in PeopleCode to tack on an expression to the end of an existing query. Thus far I have been successful doing just a QueryField without any problems. Here is some example code of what I have done with the Query Expression collection and where I am stuck:
&Criteria = &MainQrySel.AddCriteria("criteria1");
&Criteria.Logical = %Query_CombAnd;
&Criteria.Expr1Type = %Query_Expression;
&crit = &Criteria.AddExpr1Expression();
&Criteria.Expr1Expression = &crit;
&crit.Text = -some expression-;
&Criteria.Operator = %Query_CondEqual;
&Criteria.Expr2Type = %Query_ExprConstant;
&crit = &Criteria.AddExpr2Expression();
&Criteria.Expr2Expression1 = &crit;
&crit.Text = -some criteria-;
So what's happening is that the left hand part of the expression is added to the entire statement along with the operator (the equals sign). The odd part is that the right hand part of the expression is not (basically the -some criteria- part).
If anyone has any ideas on how to solve this mystery, please let me know...I'm rather confuzzled!
Thanks in advance!

Well, I finally discovered he solution on my own, by reverse-engineering Oracle's own search.jsp (which does not use Oracle's custom tag library, btw) (probably because same doesn't really work, or at least it doesn't what's in the documentation doesn't work) (which isn't surprising).
You have to do the "From" part of the query as an "attribute filter".
oracle.ultrasearch.query.Query searchQuery=
new oracle.ultrasearch.query.Contains(searchString, metadata);
oracle.ultrasearch.query.Query attrQuery=
new oracle.ultrasearch.query.From(metadata.getGroup(groupToSearch));
oracle.ultrasearch.query.Request searchRequest=new oracle.ultrasearch.query.Request();
searchRequest.setQuery(searchQuery);
searchRequest.setFilter (attrQuery);
Maybe that will do somebody some good somewhere...

HELP! How can i restore/recover files from Bootcamp with Boot Failure - Missing operating system error?

Hi,
I am having a few problems with bootcamp on my imac. When i tried to move the bootcamp partition on windows 7 into free space, it crashed and turned off. Ever since i have had the error 'Missing operating system' and it fails to boot. I have some very important files on the bootcamp partition. Is it possible to recover these files or even to restore the bootcamp partition to it's original state? I do not have a backup of my bootcamp partition. Another problem i have is that ever since i tried to expand my macintosh HD partition into free space, when i hold alt while booting up (to choose which partition to boot like i normally do), the bootcamp partition has stopped appearing. This means that i cannot even boot the windows 7 bootcamp partition anymore!
So basically here are my 2 questions:
How can i restore/recover files from Bootcamp with Boot Failure - Missing operating system error?
How can i make the Bootcamp partition appear in Startup Disk and when i hold the option key while starting up my computer to allow me to boot windows 7?
Any solutions are very much apreciated!
Thanks!
I know that bootcamp (disk0s4) hasn't been fully deleted since it appears in disk utility (i cant do anything to it though)
And here is the error i see when i try to launch bootcamp (back when i was actually able to boot up bootcamp to the error screen)

WinClone 3 is OS X and saves Windows image it makes for restore - that should work but you will have to try and you would need to make a new image unless it also works with a native Windows system restore image. It is now supported and has come a long way.
http://www.twocanoes.com/
Paragon Clone OS works and does disk-to-disk clone just like CCC you end up with two bootable drives. But does not work with your setup. It would let you clone and move your Windows install to an SSD or another disk drive though and be bootable.
During its clone process it checks for errors which is very helpful and lets you know - something CCC and others should adopt more of.
http://www.paragon-software.com/downloads/demo.html
I wish for our/my sake you had re-read and rewritten the long 'story' and broken it into a brief list of facts we needed.
OS X
Windows
Backup (though external is much safer) and you want bootable OS X clones as well as TimeMachine
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
There are a number of things to do like chkdsk and others as well as Windows DVD to do automatic system repairs and find out why.
AppleHFS - the abilty to mount and read HFS volumes can be notorious.
I would rearrange and redo your storage setup and how you use the 4-5 internal hard drive bays.

Missing Operating System

I have a Lenovo T500 Thinkpad. I turned off my laptop and now when I turn on the laptop I receive a message that states "Missing operating system". I do not have any recovery disk or install disk. How do I fix this error? The only thing that I have been able to access is via the blue ThinkVantage key. I receive a screen that has a Startup Interrupt Menu with three options. ESC to resume normal startup, F1 to enter the BIOS Setup Utility or F12 to choose a temporary startup device. I see the messages where the drives are partitioned and I should be able to set back to factory standards somehow, but I sure don't know how to even begin. Can anyone help me, as I am clueless.
Thank you

Hi kew659 and welcome to the forum!
Per support page, your T500 came with Win XP pro. Even if you contact lenovo to buy recovery discs, I think they would only sell you Win XP media.
Try following, it will work if you had a good recovery partition of Vista or XP:- http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS013955

HT4818 after installing boot camp 4 on mountain lion " Missing operating system"

Hello
I hade a small Windows 7 partition , so after updating to mountain lion , I wanted resize win partition .
I made an image of it , then deleted win partition from utility disk , ( wrong idea )
I didn’t notice that boot camp could erase win partition , anyway I have tried several times , and always after reboot boot camp
I get the same
Missing operating system .
If I boot from dvd install win or if i boot from the boot win partition.
hd and partitions looks OK to utility disk
Any idea to fix the problem ?

I presume that you've followed the instructions for sideloading the iMac Windows drivers into your install via USB stick? (wasn't aware the EFI recognized the SD slot as storage on boot. Now i know)
I always found more success in just slipstreaming the drivers and install.xml file onto a custom Win7 DVD rather than the USB approach when trying with my Late 2009 27" iMac. The Win7 installer needs that enclosed .xml file in the driver package to tell it where to find the drivers so that they be loaded when the Win7 image extracts itself.
If you're using mountain lion, then you should be receiving the proper Win7 driver set. If you wanted to create a custom image, then you can use an ISO file, the driver package and disk utility to make something you can use. Either that or you learn what edits your install.xml file needs to point the installer properly and check it manually.
I don't know what links you have so i'll just include everything:
Installing boot camp on a Late 2009 iMac:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173
Direct link to Late 2009 iMac-specific Windows drivers.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL995
I'd try a USB stick and the iMac-specific driver set. It should steer your insolent windows installer correctly.
Hope this helps.
