Missing right parenthesis using DECODE and SUBSTR

Hello,
Can anyone explain why I am getting missing right parenthesis when trying to execute this query
INSERT INTO LOCATION_INFO
(LOCATION,REGION)
SELECT SUBSTR(OLD_SYSTEM_SITE_CODE,1,2), DECODE(SUBSTR(OLD_SITE_SYSTEM_CODE, 1, 2), 'CA', CHICAGO,'TX', DALLAS, NEW YORK)
FROM SITE_MAPPING_TABLE;Thanks for looking
Mike

INSERT INTO LOCATION_INFO
(LOCATION,REGION)
SELECT SUBSTR(OLD_SYSTEM_SITE_CODE,1,2),
DECODE(SUBSTR(OLD_SITE_SYSTEM_CODE, 1, 2), 'CA', 'CHICAGO','TX', 'DALLAS', 'NEW YORK')
FROM SITE_MAPPING_TABLE;i think the CHICAGO, DALLAS, and NEW YORK are character strings and should be enclosed in single quotes

Using DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL get error: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis

Hi,
I'm trying to extract schema DDL from a database (10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Enterprise Edition on Solaris 10). I run the query below and get an ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis error.
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL( REPLACE(object_type,' ','_') AS object_type, object_name) FROM user_objects WHERE object_type NOT IN ('TABLE_PARTITION','INDEX_PARTITION','LOB');
This is the output when running the above in sqlplus worksheet
select DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL( REPLACE(object_type,' ','_') as object_type, object_name) FROM user_objects where object_type not in ('TABLE_PARTITION','INDEX_PARTITION','LOB')
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
removing the where clause gives the following:
select DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL( REPLACE(object_type,' ','_') as object_type, object_name) FROM user_objects
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
Any pointers would be gratefully received. I know I could get the DDL out using exp/imp but I want to understand why I'm getting the missing parenthesis error.
cheers,
Ewan

SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL( REPLACE(object_type,' ','_') AS object_type, object_name) FROM user_objects WHERE object_type NOT IN You don't need an alias here. Get rid of " AS object_type" and it should work.

FOR UPDATE on updatable cursor and error: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis

Anyone run into this? I've searched the message board and bug db to no avail.
- Using latest Oracle JDBC 2.0 compliant "thin" driver and Oracle 8.1.6 database.
1) Using prepareStatement specifying an updatable cursor for something like "SELECT FNAME,LNAME FROM USERS FOR UPDATE OF FNAME,LNAME"
2) Updating FNAME using updateString("FNAME","whatever"), and then calling updateRow() of the ResultSet yields:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
If I remove the FOR UPDATE clause then everything works just fine.
Workarounds/suggestions appreciated!
Thanks,
Ryan

Missing right parenthesis error when querying using a list of values

Would anyone know why this statement gives the ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis error..?
SELECT FIELD_X
FROM TABLE_Y
WHERE FIELD_X IN (
'AJD'
'RED'
'ADF'
'MOI'
The reason why I wanted the AJD, RED, ADF, etc values on top of each other is because I need to add the single quotes around those terms in Excel before pasting them into the SQL statement (there are actually over 400 terms so above just shows a subset)

Fortunately the SQL syntax is documented in the SQL manual
{ expr [, expr ]...
| ( [expr [, expr ]] ...)
}http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10592/expressions015.htm#i1033664
Note the comma following each value in the syntax diagram and examples.

FOR UPDATE on scrollable cursor and error: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis

If change my query to have a FOR UPDATE and make it an updatable scrollable cursor I get an error on the updateRow() command saying "ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis"
If I remove the FOR UPDATE it works OK.
The problem I have is trying to update a CLOB from a ResultSet. If I do not upate any other column I get the error saying that the error"
"ORA-22920: row containing the LOB value is not locked"
I can get around this by adding FOR UPDATE. But if I add FOR UPDATE and try to update any non-CLOB column I get the 00907 error above.
Hmmmm. So here is what I can and cannot do:
- I CAN update the CLOB IF I update another column 1st and NO FOR UPDATE clause.
- I CAN update the CLOB only if I have FOR UPDATE clause.
- I CANNOT update just the CLOB without FOR UPDATE.
- I CANNOT update any non-CLOB column with FOR UPDATE.
What a pain in the ***! How am I to provide generic access to the applications being built on my DB layer. This is crazy!

Using Toplink with Oracle Spatial (missing right parenthesis error)

Hi,
I always get the following error when I try to create spatial query with toplink.
Internal Exception: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
Any idea ? Also, there is no trace of my point in the generated sql....
Here is the generated query:
SELECT ID, [...]
FROM QUEBEC_CITY
WHERE (MDSYS.SDO_NN(GEOMETRY, JGeometry (gtype=1, dim=2, rid=8307, NULL) = 'TRUE')
ORDER BY ID ASC
Here is my code... :
double[] coord = new double[]{-71.25163d, 46.8527d};
JGeometry point = JGeometry.createPoint(coord, 2, 8307);
SpatialOperator nearestNeighbor = SpatialOperator.nearestNeighbor(session);
ReadAllQuery query = new ReadAllQuery(UrbanEdgeDescriptor.class);
ExpressionBuilder eb = query.getExpressionBuilder();
Expression geom = eb.get("geometry");
query.setSelectionCriteria(nearestNeighbor.buildExpression(geom, point));
query.addAscendingOrdering("id");
List<UrbanEdgeDescriptor> results = (List)db.getSession().executeQuery(query);
System.out.println(results!=null);

The problem is the toString() on JGeometry. It does not print out a complete description the database can use inline. It produces:
JGeometry (gtype=1, dim=2, rid=8307
To get JGeometry types to work in your queries the easiest solution is to use parameter binding so the literal representation is not used.

UpdateRow(): ORA-00907 missing right parenthesis???

This pertains to Oracle8i 8.1.7 JDBC Drivers JDK 1.2.x for NT (classes12.zip) that I just downloaded today from the website.
I call rset.updateRow() after I update a particular column
rset.updateString("col_name","whatever")
and get the following SQLException message.
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis.
I tried to call rset.updateRow() without doing an updateString() and it passes with no exception.
I've looked at my very simply code over and over and don't see how any of it could be a problem. Is it possible that Oracle released this driver forgetting about a little ")" somewhere in the SQL that it sends to the database in this method?
Again:
(1) rset.updateString("col_name","whatever");
rset.updateRow();
throws the SQLException
(2) rset.updateRow();
is fine by itself

If you are using the FOR UPDATE in your SELECT stmt, there is a bug.
See BUG:1811866
Encountered the same problem myself.
Was unable to find any further reference to this bug on Oracle's site. Is this still outstanding, and, if so, is there a target date for the fix?

OraOLEDB.Oracle GetRecordSet() throw "ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis"

Hi,
I am unfortunately working on an old VB6 app that is constructing a huge (11902 characters) ad-hoc SQL statement which is then passed to the GetRecordSet() method of my DBConnection. The app is using the OraOLEDB.Oracle provider. When the GetRecordSet() method is executed, however, I get the following error:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
Now I have grabbed the contents of the string that is passed in to the GetRecordSet() function and have thoroughly examined it and there are no missing parens. Additionally, I am able to execute the select statement in Oracle SQL Developer as well as SQL*Plus, withou difficulty. So I am sure that the string is syntactically correct.
I am beginning to suspect that something fishy is happening in the provider - perhaps the string is too long and it is getting truncated somewhere?
Can anyone out there help me out?
Thanks, Steve

maybe the conversion you are trying to do is not valid especially in the first one into binary(1).
check out the conversion table for CAST operator in the SQL REFERENCE of the documentation.

Objects Runtime Error -- Missing Right Parenthesis

I am getting a RUNTIME error when using objects "Missing right parenthesis". The same script runs in Oracle 8i but will not run in the newly installed oracle8 enterprise edition. Oracle closed the support track saying they no longer support this version of Oracle. Unfortunately we have a client that we support and must match their environment. Does anyone know what might be missing or wrong with our environment?
This is the code and error:

END;

Missing right parenthesis?

I have to create one table that has 106 columns, and I met one error that I can't understand. The error is ORA-00907, missing right parenthesis. But if I reduce the column number to 17, the table can be created. Why? Does Oracle XE limit the column number?

Cause:
A left parenthesis has been entered without a closing right parenthesis, or extra information was contained in the parentheses.All parentheses must be entered in pairs.
Action:
Correct the syntax and retry the statement.

Apart from what Zac pointed out, I also believe you're missing out on referencing a table in this part of the query:
INNER JOIN
SELECT EDG_CURRENT_ICD9.CODE, CLARITY_EDG.DX_NAME,EDG_CURRENT_ICD9.DX_ID
FROM EDG_CURRENT_ICD9 ON CLARITY_EDG.DX_ID=EDG_CURRENT_ICD9.DX_ID
WHERE (EDG_CURRENT_ICD9.CODE BETWEEN '250' and '250.99' OR EDG.REF_BILL_CODE BETWEEN '305' AND '305.99')
)DIAB ON PROBLEM_LIST.DX_ID=DIAB.DX_ID
You were missing the table name and the join in the italicized and bold portion although I'm not very sure if this is the right table and join. I copied that from the Inner Join under the UNION ALL.
I also think there's something wrong with the alias CMB. I don't see it being referenced in any of the joins.

PL-SQL Solve: Using INSTR and SUBSTR

I am trying to work on this and cannot get a solution. Please help
You have to use INSTR and SUBSTR to solve
Question:
You have the following acceptable value
Numberic: 0-34
80-100
or Non Numberic X S U D- D D+
Im have to use INSTR and SUBSTR functions to test that the value is a valid (as above) number before TO_NUMBER is called:
SELECT TO_NUMBER('?? ') //HERE ?? and a space (for 100 etc) is for the values as above
FROM DUAL
WHERE ....INSTR(......)<=;
(Hence if the number is true then number comes back or it says no rows)
and also id non numberic it should also be tested.
I am completely unsure about it but tried this
SELECT TO_NUMBER('34 ')
FROM DUAL
WHERE INSTR('0123456789',1,1)<=9 (looking at first number ?)
AND
INSTR('0123456789',2,2)<=9
AND
INSTR('0123456789',3,3)=0;
Please help

We have the following value that we can use:
Numeric: 0-34 and 80-100 only
or Non Numberic X S U D- D D+
Have to use INSTR and SUBSTR functions to test that the value is a valid
(for now only trying to create a function which can later be put into a procedure.)
SELECT TO_NUMBER('12 ') //e.g HERE 12 and a space for the values as above
FROM DUAL
the where clause looks at all three spaces to make sure values are correct (given number or non-numberic values only)
(Hence if the number is true then number comes back (meaning true)
or it says NO rows)
If value is non numeric, test it to allow non numberic also.
I am completely unsure about it but tried this
SELECT TO_NUMBER('34 ')
FROM DUAL
WHERE INSTR('0123456789',1,1)<=9 (looking at first number ?)
AND
INSTR('0123456789',2,2)<=9
AND
INSTR('0123456789',3,3)=0;
Something like this has to be done.....subst (instr, x,x,) i think mite help.
