ORA-00150: duplicate transaction ID ?

Question

Hi guys,
I am calling a sql program from within my shell script and passing two parameters but I keep getting SQL Error Code -150. Any ideas about what this is ?
Thanks

Answer 1

This is from a perious thread ... but since the error is new, I am going to explain it here.
I have a shell script which calls two .sql programs student_load_a.sql and student_load_b.sql. I am getting the Sequence Number First and then passing it to student_load_a.sql to create the Control file which is being used by the SQL*Loader. The SQL*Loader then loads the table and student_load_b.sql does the main processing.
# Accept system input parameters
p_user_id=$1
p_job_id=$2
p_seqno=`sqlplus.exe -s $p_user_id <<_EOF_
set feedback off
set linesize 100
whenever sqlerror exit failure;
set lines 150
set pages 0
set head off
col p_seqno NEW_VALUE p_seqno
select request_number_seq.nextval p_seqno from dual;
exit;
_EOF_`
exit_status=$?
check_command
# Create control files for sqlload
sqlplus -s $p_user_id @student_load_a.sql $p_job_id $p_seqno
exit_status=$?
# Do sqlloads
sqlldr userid=$p_user_id control=student_load-$p_job_id.ctl \
       log=student_load-$p_job_id.log \
       bad=student_load-$p_job_id.bad
exit_status=$?
# Main processing
sqlplus -s $p_user_id @student_load_b.sql $p_user_id $p_job_id $p_seqno
exit_status=$?
exit 0If I remove the last parameter and don't accept a 3 rd input parameter in student_load_b.sql, then my program works fine and I do not get the 150 error. However, if I run it with the $p_seqno, get the error.
I tried running it locally and I now get an error at command line:
The semi colon in Line 9 looks odd.
$ student_load.sh abc/xyz@sumatra 1022

new   7:   t_user_id := 'abc/xyz@sumatra';

new   8:   t_job_id := 1022;
old   9:   p_seqno := &3;
;ew   9:   p_seqno := 1421
; p_seqno := 1421
