Need information on Error ORA-30052:invalid lower limit snapshot expression

Hello all,
I have been running some flashback version queries on Oracle DB like:
SELECT versions_xid,VERSIONS_OPERATION, LABEL_NAME FROM <table_name> VERSIONS BETWEEN SCN <scn1> AND <scn2>;
It was working fine, but after some interval, I got the following error on executing the command:
ORA-30052: invalid lower limit snapshot expression
30052. 00000 - "invalid lower limit snapshot expression"
*Cause: The lower limit snapshot expression was below the UNDO_RETENTION
limit.
*Action: Specify a valid lower limit snapshot expression.
On Google, it could find this useful information only http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28320/initparams251.htm but this didn't made me understand the problem i have been facing and the cause.
On running the command "show parameter retention", I got the following result:
NAME TYPE VALUE
db_flashback_retention_target integer 1440
undo_retention integer 900
Can anyone please help us out here what could be the issue here and what will be the solution?
Thanks

Hi,
The flashback always works along with Undo segment....
Issue:
By default the undo retention is 900 seconds.One restriction with using specific timestamps or SCNs is that they must be within the boundaries of the undo_retention parameter.
The db_flashback_retention_target integer 1440 min (24 hrs) parameter is for flashback logs and it has nothing to do with table flashback.
The flashback only uses the data in undo and which is in turn handled by undo retention i.e, 900 sec or 15 min.
Solution:
Try increasing the undo retention value and run the same. Hope, it'll run without any error.
thanks,
-Seshi

Hi gurus
I don't believe if this is missing solution from oracle community. I have decided to installed the collction agent and source database in linux system, so now both auditt vault server and collction agent are running in Linux system (but separately)
I am wondering, avorcldb add_collector -srcname ORCL -agentname avagent01 -colltype DBAUD and avorcldb add_collector -srcname ORCL -agentname avagent01 -colltype OSAUD -orclhome /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1 are working fine and I am able to start these collectors
The avorcldb verify -src Lugaosrv:1521:ORCL.LUGAOSRV -colltype ALL command also return good results
[oracle@avsrv ~]$ avorcldb verify -src Lugaosrv:1521:ORCL.LUGAOSRV -colltype ALL
Enter Source user name: srcuser_ora01
Enter Source password:
source ORCL.LUGAOSRV verified for OS File Audit Collector collector
source ORCL.LUGAOSRV verified for Aud$/FGA_LOG$ Audit Collector collector
source ORCL.LUGAOSRV verified for REDO Log Audit Collector collector
[oracle@avsrv ~]$
The problem still I am facing is when attempting to add REDO collector. In fact the collector is added successful and i can see it even on EM console.
[oracle@avsrv ~]$ avorcldb add_collector -srcname ORCL -agentname avagent01 -colltype REDO -av Lugaosrv:1521:ORCL.LUGAOSRV
source ORCL verified for REDO Log Audit Collector collector
Adding collector...
Collector added successfully.
remember the following information for use in avctl
Collector name (collname): REDO_Collector
initializing REDO Collector
ERROR: could not get AV source user connection using jdbc:oracle:oci:@(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=tcp)(HOST=Lugaosrv)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=ORCL.LUGAOSRV)))

Error: ORA-01722: invalid number performing List of Values query.

when i created a cascading select list, For the first time it worked properly then little later
it is giving this error.
Error: ORA-01722: invalid number performing List of Values query: "select distinct cl_name d, cl_no r from Kclient where gr_no = :P1_GRNO order by 1
could any one please solve the problem?
2. when i run the application. in all the items edit button is automatically seen
including in the login screen.
could any one identify what is the error and give me a solution.

Is this better?

IR: ORA-20001: get_dbms_sql_cursor error ORA-00904: : invalid identifier

Hi everyone,
has anyone else had this error which has been driving me round the bend during the last three days?
I have an interactive report which used to work fine.
Now it happens (when the page loads/a filter is en- or disabled) that - from time to time, but unpredictable - I receive
ORA-20001: get_dbms_sql_cursor error ORA-00904: : invalid identifier
The report is based on a table function.
I will try to set up a testcase and post the link here, but so far I haven't managed to force the error to occur.
But maybe someone else has already bumped into this kind of error? I would be grateful for any hints!
Best regards,
Sabine

Hi Jari,
I changed the type definition (the return type of the table function) and extended the select list in the source of the IR.
I do not use 'select *' but reference every column explicitly. So APEX easked me whether to add the new column.
I also tried deleting in recreating the region, but no luck.
Any more ideas?
Best regards,
Sabine

DBMS_LOB.ISOPEN throws the error ora-22275 invalid lob locator

DBMS_LOB.ISOPEN throws the error below error.
ora-22275 invalid lob locator
The below assume that i am getting the v_lob_length as empty. But i am getting error when it comes to DBMS_LOB.ISOPEN.
Please correct me if i am wrong.
here is my code:
DBMS_LOB.createtemporary(v_xml_clob, TRUE);
DBMS_LOB.open(v_xml_clob, DBMS_LOB.lob_readwrite);
SELECT DBMS_XMLGEN.getxml ('SELECT object_name, object_type from dba_objects where rownum <= 5')
INTO    v_xml_clob
FROM    DUAL;
v_lob_length    := NVL(DBMS_LOB.getlength(v_xml_clob),0);
v_index       := 1;
fnd_file.put_line(fnd_file.log,'v_lob_length : '||v_lob_length);
WHILE v_index <= v_lob_length
LOOP
    v_read_cnt   := 32767;
    DBMS_LOB.read (
          v_xml_clob,
          v_read_cnt,
          v_index,
          v_chunk
    fnd_file.put(fnd_file.output,v_chunk);
    v_index := v_index + v_read_cnt;
END LOOP;
IF DBMS_LOB.ISOPEN(v_xml_clob) = 1
THEN
    DBMS_LOB.close(v_xml_clob);
    DBMS_LOB.freetemporary(v_xml_clob);
END IF;

Most likely v_xml_clob is NULL so you'd rather check IF v_xml_clob IS NOT NULL AND DBMS_LOB.ISOPEN(v_xml_clob) = 1

Error -ORA-01483: invalid length for DATE or NUMBER bind variable

In discoverer plus, attempt to save a discoverer workbook into the database fails with the error:
ORA-01483 invalid length for DATE or NUMBER bind variable
The same workbook can be safely saved in "My Computer".
Any idea why and what is the solution.

Why: not quite sure, probably the code is validating the workbook when it saves it to the db and you've got an error in the sql. What happens when you run the workbook that you saved to the file system? Does it show the same error when run?
Solution: Can you post the sql in the workbook? In the meantime try the following: Replace any to_char statements around dates with to_date statements instead. For example:
Replace:
where to_char(mydate, 'dd-mon-yyyy') = '05-apr-2009'
With:
where mydate = to_date('05-APR-2009','DD-MON-YYYY')

Trying to produce report but have ERROR ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement

Hi,
I am new to Oracle so have been experimenting with a few things to get the hang of it. I have been trying to produce a report, but keep getting the error: ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement.
This happens at my first line of code where I have COLUMN <column_name> HEADING <Heading_name>
So I am a bit confused - is there a command that I am supposed to issue that indicates to SQL*Plus that I am trying to create a report?
Also, if I just delete the COLUMN <column_name> HEADING <Heading_name> rows and just start at BREAK ON <column_name> SKIP 1, it produces the same error.
I am using Oracle 8.0.6 - does this make a difference?
Here is my code:
COLUMN a.p_ctryid HEADING 'Country'
COLUMN s.p_animid HEADING 'Stallion ID'
COLUMN s.p_uname HEADING 'Stallion Name'
COLUMN a.p_animid HEADING 'Horse ID'
COLUMN d.p_careertp HEADING 'Career'
BREAK ON s.p_animid SKIP 1
BREAK ON d.p_careertp SKIP 2
COMPUTE SUM LABEL 'Total' OF d.p_careertp ON REPORT
SELECT DISTINCT a.p_ctryid, s.p_animid, s.p_uname, a.p_animid, d.p_careertp
FROM p_owby.p_animal a, p_owby.p_animal s, p_owby.p_mating m, p_owby.p_anim_dtl d
WHERE m.p_mateyr = 2001
AND a.p_animid = d.p_animid
AND a.p_animid = m.p_animid
AND a.p_animid > 0
AND s.p_animid = a.p_sire
AND a.p_ctryid IN('GB','IRE')
GROUP BY a.p_ctryid, s.p_animid, s.p_uname, d.p_careertp, a.p_animid
ORDER BY a.p_ctryid, s.p_animid, d.p_careertp
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

You are trying to do COMPUTE SUM ... ON REPORT but there is no BREAK ON REPORT specified. The computed sum will not be shown unless you also break on report. see below demonstration. first select has no sum even though we have specified COMPUTE. The second select shows the sum since now we have done break on report.

GROUP BY with parameter - cause error -ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression

I generate a query via PreparedStatement. For example:
SELECT when, value FROM test GROUP BY ?;
PrepState.toString(1, "when");
That causing error: ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression
My application using query like:
SELECT to_char(data,1), SUM(vlue) as sum FROM test GROUP BY to_char(data, 2);
PrepState.toString(1, "YYYY-MM");
PrepState.toString(2, "YYYY-MM");

Ah. Reproduced in the first chunk of PL/SQL below.
The second chunk is a workaround.
Basically, SQL is parsed by the syntax engine and optimizer to get an execution plan. Then you can have a sequence of "bind, execute, fetch, fetch, fetch..., bind, execute..."
Since you can have multiple binds for a single SQL parse, then the fact that the first set of binds all happen to have the same value doesn't mean the next set will.
The optimizer needs to be 100% sure that the value in the select must always be the same as the value in the group by, so you can't have two separate (and therefore potentially different) bind variable mappings. [Given the right circumstances, the optimizer might do all sorts of tricks, such as using materialized views and function-based indexes.]
Misleadingly, it actually fails on the 'EXECUTE' step of DBMS_SQL rather than the PARSE.

Error ORA-01722: invalid number

Hi,
I am using Apex 3.2 on Oracle 11g (Enterprise Edition).
I am new to Apex and I am using an imported application and editing its features to match my requirements.
While uploading a CSV file, I am getting error as :ORA-01722: invalid number"
Can someone help me where I am wrong or where I need to modify something?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Littlefoot,
Another set of information which I felt could be useful.

How to resolve error ORA-29491: invalid table for chunking?

Hello,
I'm trying to implement DBMS_PARALLEL_EXECUTE to speed up a huge update I need to do. I'm stuck on a problem with the table I'm using to test my procedure. Here's a simple test that produces the same error. As best I can tell, the table I'm declaring here is missing some kind of requirement that lets DBMS_PARALLEL_EXECUTE make use of it, but the docs and searching for the error code haven't turned up any useful discussions. Please help.
drop table owner.why_cant_i_hold;
create table owner.why_cant_i_hold (
things VARCHAR2 (64),
amount INT,
CONSTRAINT why_cant_i_pk PRIMARY KEY (things)
insert into why_cant_i_hold values ('limes', 8);
insert into why_cant_i_hold values ('lemons', 8);
insert into why_cant_i_hold values ('watermelons', 5);
insert into why_cant_i_hold values ('cats', 4);
insert into why_cant_i_hold values ('teacups',10);
insert into why_cant_i_hold values ('mugs', 5);
insert into why_cant_i_hold values ('eggs', 15);
insert into why_cant_i_hold values ('jobs', 3);
commit;
-- got tasks?
COLUMN task_name FORMAT A10
SELECT task_name,
status
FROM user_parallel_execute_tasks;
--exec DBMS_PARALLEL_EXECUTE.CREATE_TASK('holding');
exec DBMS_PARALLEL_EXECUTE.CREATE_CHUNKS_BY_ROWID('holding', 'ODDEV03', 'why_cant_i_hold', true, 3);
It seems like a really simple case here. The output is all successful until
"Error starting at line 25 in command:
exec DBMS_PARALLEL_EXECUTE.CREATE_CHUNKS_BY_ROWID('holding', 'owner', 'why_cant_i_hold', true, 3);
Error report:
ORA-29491: invalid table for chunking
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_PARALLEL_EXECUTE", line 27
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_PARALLEL_EXECUTE", line 121
ORA-06512: at line 1"

Oh. This was an easy one, table names are never really lower-case. Changing the value in my chunking call fixed the simple test:
exec DBMS_PARALLEL_EXECUTE.CREATE_CHUNKS_BY_ROWID('holding', 'ODDEV03', 'WHY_CANT_I_HOLD', true, 3);
It doesn't help with why my more complicated test case isn't working, but I have details to check before I ask again.
EDIT: lesson learned... 'invalid table' doesn't mean the database can find the table you are talking about at all. I hope that's a help.

Deployment error: ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied

Hi,
I created a new target schema against an existing runtime owner user id and runtime access user id.
But deploying the mapping now gives error as follows:
<<ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied>>
Can you please guide where the problem is?
Thanks & Regards,
Lenin

Hi,
Just to add some more informations about this topic. I created one extra target schema for the same runtime user id/runtime access user. And then tried to deploy the mapping and got the above error. And again, I removed the older target schema by using "OWB Runtime Assistant". And then tried to deploy mapping again and got the same error again.
Can you please help me out in this case?
Thanks & Regards,
Lenin

I've read some posts that suggest it could be the jdbc driver or the 'use ? style variables' option on the view definition. Your assistance is appreciated.

Thanks Luke,
I changed
vo.setWhereClause(" USER_NAME=?");
to
vo.setWhereClause(" USER_NAME=:0");
And that particular segment worked as expected.
Thanks

Error: ORA-00920: invalid relational operator (WWV-16016)

Hi,
When I try to query in the form, I'm getting the following error
An unexpected error occurred: ORA-00920: invalid relational operator (WWV-16016).
The form has a field of type varchar2 with lov attached to it. This error is happening only if I enter characters more than 40 or select a value which has more than 40 characters from the lov.
Anbody had this problem?..Is there a solution for this?..Help would be appreciated.
Thanks
PJ

I figured out the problem and it seems like if the value has any 'IN' or 'BETWEEN' and try to query this error is happening and it's not because of character length. I think Portal assumes that relational operator is entered and tries to query based on those words. Is it a bug in the Portal?..
Thanks
PJ
