SELECT PERSON.NAME FROM EMPLOYEIf you look in the documentation, you will see that we need to alias the table in order to make this work:
select e.person.name from employees e

I seem to recall this error being spuriously (well unhelpfully) thrown if you tried to UPDATE a key that you used in the ON clause, but I could be mistaken.
For us to recreate this you would need to supply the exact version and scripts to create the tables in question.

ORA-00904: invalid column name - trying to sum

Hi all
probably somrthing really stupid and easy that I'm missing but here goes
I am trying to gather data from 3 tables, 1st one is stock master file - all records are unique key
2nd table is barcodes, product key can occur 2 / 3 times - one for each barcode that is assigned to a product.
3rd table is warehouse stock, again key can occur a few times as there is a key for each stock record
I need to pull the data from 1st two tables and sum the total of warehouse stock for each record pulled.
I know I will get 2 or 3 records for each stock item as each record will return with a different barcode. what I'm trying to eliminate is returning the same records again with a separate row for each set of warehouse stock records.
If I run
select rmdept||','||rmstyl||','||rmcolr||','||rmsize||','||rmvatc||','||rmshgp||','||
rmdesc||','||rmacod||','||rmcdes||','||rmzdes||','||rmsupp||','||rmsspr||','||

where a.rmdept = c.rsdept(+) and a.rmstyl = c.rsstyl(+) and a.rmcolr = c.rscolr(+)
and a.rmsize = c.rssize(+) and a.rmdept = b.rddept(+) and a.rmstyl = b.rdstyl(+)
and a.rmcolr = b.rdcolr(+)
and a.rmsize = b.rdsize(+)

rmdesc, rmacod, rmcdes, rmzdes, rmsupp, rmsspr, rmlcos, rsbarc, rmpord,
rmmrch, rmcomq, rdcstk)
order by rmdept, rmstyl, rmcolr
I get all the data I want, but duplicate rows for every stock record
53117701612,1,705,ECKO LOGO STEE W,,X*BRT.ROSE,WMN 12,G12,25,6.44,,0,LT,539,1
53117701612,1,705,ECKO LOGO STEE W,,X*BRT.ROSE,WMN 12,G12,25,6.44,,0,LT,539,228
the last column is the stock record
I would like to return just one row showing warehouse stock as 229

ORA-00904: Invalid column name

Hi all,
some of my OWB generated packages keep returning error
ORA-00904: Invalid column.
When I check run of such packages in OWB Audit Viewer:
1. Selected and inserted no of records is OK
2. There is one error reported the one mentioned above. Unfortunately there is nothing more than "Batch insert" and ORA error no and error code in Error Details
The number of columns and their types and all constraints are the same in DB and OWB repository for both tables that take part in such mapping.
Do you have some ideas where is the problem?
Thanks

In order for testtune to create a function-based index on a table in hrdmadm's schema that uses a function in testtune's schema, testtune must have the system privilege GLOBAL QUERY REWRITE and SELECT privileges on hrdmadm's table, and hrdmadm must have execute privileges on testtune's function, and the function name must be prefaced with the schema name when creating the index.
So, have someone with DBA privileges:
GRANT GLOBAL QUERY REWRITE TO testtune;
Have hrdmadm:
GRANT SELECT ON bkg_empl_asgnmt to testtune;
Have testtune:
GRANT EXECUTE ON test_func_index to hrdmadm;
Then, testtune can:
create index testtune.test_func_index on
hrdmadm.bkg_empl_asgnmt(substr(testtune.CalcDistFctUnit(GHRS_INTERNAL_EMPL_ID_NO, HOME_ORGANIZATION, EFFECTIVE_DATE, HOME_AGENCY),1,5))

Sometimes ORA-00904: invalid column

Hello,
Some times when i am running a query I get 'ORA-00904: invalid column name'. Next times i run exactly the same query the query runs well for a few times. And in an unpredictable way, exactly the same query fails again.
I am using Oracle 8i 8.1.7
Can someone help me out?

The error does not occur in just a single query. There are multiple query's in whitch the error sometimes occurs. We have been looking for similarity's in the query's, but we haven't found one so far. It seems to be the error does occur more often in query's wich are using a databaselink.
The error does also occur in update statements.
This is an example query:
SELECT DISTINCT
zt.rowid,
zt.id,
zt.begindatum_tim,
zt.zorgtraject_id,
zt.SSPC_ZORGTYPE_ID,
stp_lees_dbc(zrgt.ID, zrgt.initieel_sspc_id, zt.ID)AS dbc,
stp_lees_dbc_code(zrgt.ID, zrgt.initieel_sspc_id, zt.ID) AS dbc_code
FROM
bav_epd_zorgtrajecten zrgt
,bav_epd_ztr_zorgtypen zt
WHERE
zrgt.ID = :parzorgtrajectid
AND zrgt.verwijderd_bln = 'N'
AND zrgt.ID = zt.zorgtraject_id

When Import get Error-00904 Invalid Column Name

Hi all,
I'm using DI Premium 3.0 with Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 repository. I'm trying to connect Oracle 8.1.4.7.1 (8i) but when i going to import tables get Error-00904 Invalid Column Name. If i connect to Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 don't get error.
Trying from DI XI R2 (11.7) with Oracle 10.2.0.2.0 repository, to connect Oracle 8.1.4.7.1 (8i) don´t get error!
Is error from Oracle repository version?
Thanks in advance.

Error ora-604 ora-904 invalid column name

Someone knows how to fix this problem?
Error ora-604 ora-904 invalid column name.

Asif, to add another question to the list of things to check. Is the version of the exp utility you are using to perform the export operation the same version as the database? If not, that would explain the error.
If you are trying to export using a newer version of the export utility that generally will not work. You should switch to using the db version.
If you are exporting using an older version because the target is an older version then usually you need to run the catexp# where # is the version number script for the target version that Oracle provides in the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin directory.

Invalid Column Name on select from materialized view?

Hey all, I have created this materialized view for my java to select from. For some reason when I try to select from it, I get invalid column name. Here is my mat view statement in its simplest form:
create materialized view mv_pgridtcevcluster_property as
select distinct clustername_ as "OBJECT_ID", CLUSTERNAME_, LICENSEMODE_
from p_gridtcevcluster p
order by clustername_;
Now when I run my select statement from jdbc:
SQL: select object_id from MV_PGRIDTCEVCLUSTER_PROPERTY
java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column name
     at oracle.jdbc.driver.DatabaseError.throwSqlException(DatabaseError.java:112)

Anyone have issues with this before? It seems to throw the error sporatically, any help would be much appreciated!

Nevermind, figured it out. Was using wrong column name identifier when picking values from resultset.

Since you have "OBJECT_ID" in quotes, Oracle stores the column name literally and case sensitively, and the column name must be capitalized when referenced.
From a regular sql*plus window, try
select object_id from mv_pgridtcevcluster_property;
select OBJECT_ID from mv_pgridtcevcluster_property;
select "OBJECT_ID" from mv_pgridtcevcluster_property;What is the result from each of them?

Invalid column name - fixed by inserting a carriage return - Why?

I'm writing some JSP pages and am executing a statement that retrieves values from three tables.
When executing the statement I receive the error
java.sql.SQLException: Invalid column name
I just want to state here that ALL the column names are definitely correct. I attempted to isolate the problem using my SQL*Plus Interface.
When copying and pasting the SQL that was used (I put the SQL statement into the HTML to allow me to do this) into SQL*Plus it also come up with the error. I found that if I broke up the statement it would run. Specifically if I placed a carriage return (by hitting enter) prior to the 'A' of the AND operator and then copied and pasted into SQL*Plus it would work!
I thought the problem was related to bad syntax in the outer join operator. But removal of the outer join operator and making it a EQUI JOIN situation still gave the same results. I tried the use of brackets to 'help' the DB engine figure it out - silly I know, but it didn't work anyway :(
I've tried this out on UNIX in SQL*Plus where the query was on one line and it worked fine. I've tried it on Oracle 8.1.5 SQL*Plus & Oracle 8.1.7 SQL*Plus on Win2000 and WinNT and no go.
It has also been tested on an Oracle 7.3.4 DB and no go either.
Remember I'm only using SQL*Plus to find out why it is not working - I'm actually attempting to execute this via JDBC (classes12.zip Oracle9 version) in my JavaBean. I can't place a carriage return to 'fix' the problem, and I'm assuming that I shouldn't either.
I've pasted the SQL below (both non-working and working versions). I was going to paste the output of DESC on the associated tables should you too would rule out a mispelled column name, but I didn't want to put anyone off with a long post.
If you can provide any advice I would be very appreciative.

Ok. I feel ashamed that the answer was so simple and not the
problem I thought it was. But in the interests of perhaps
preventing someone else doing the same silly thing....
The error was caused by using a wrong name when 'getting' the
values int the return ResultSet object. (eg using getString
("s.Some_Name") when it should have been getString
("s.Another_Name").
Interestingly the error did occur in one of our SQL*Plus
versions. Why we still are not sure, but since this was a silly
error on my part, I'm sure a similarly silly reason will be the
cause there two.
I appreciate those who responded though. It is a great resource.

I'm just guessing here, but could it be some sort of a size thing? Could it be that, if you don't break up line 2, somehow
it gets truncated or wrapped at an inappropriate place? To test
this theory, you might try putting the carriage return in front
of the ORDER BY, instead of in front of the AND, and see if it
has the same effect. If you do get it figured out, please
satisfy our curiosity and let us know.

Invalid Column Name message in the subquery

Hi All, I am receiving the invalid column name message in the subquery. Please help me if there is any work around or change in the query:
Sample query:
update table1 set table1.column1 =
(Select column1 from
(Select column1 from table2 where
table1.columnX = table2.columnX
order by table2.columnM desc,table2.ColumnN desc,
where rownum =1)
When i run the above query i am receiving the following error message:
ORA-00904:invalid column name at table1.columnx.
This column is already existing in table1 and looks like this table is not recoginzed inside of the subquery.
I am trying to update table1.column1 using the first value from table2 after ordering by table2.columnM desc, table2.columnN desc. (ColumnM and ColumnN are the Date columns which i need to perform the sorting). I am new to sql/Plsql. Thanks in Advance for help....

The problem is that you can not refer to columns from the outer table from inside a second subquery inside your subquery. Only one level of subquery can be used to transport the column name,.
A solution can be to use groups and aggregation functions instead of rownum = 1.
The following might work.
untested
update table1
set table1.column1 =
(Select max(column1) keep (dense_rank first over table2.columnM desc,table2.ColumnN desc)
   from table2
   where table1.columnX = table2.columnX
   ) Another way can be to to make a UNCORRELATED subquery first and then filter on that uncorrelated query with the column name from the outer statement.
This time I use a analytic function.
untested
update table1 u
set u.column1 = (select v1.column1
   from
     (Select t2.column1, t2.columnX, row_number over (partition by t2.column1, t2.columnX order by t2.columnM desc,t2.ColumnN desc) as rn
      from table2
      ) v1
   where v1.columnX = u.columnX
   and v1.rn = 1
where /* where clause is missing! */

X.column.getStringVal() throws "invalid column name", works in SQL*Plus.

The subject sums it up pretty well... I have a query that works fine from SQL*Plus, but throws a JDBC exception with "ORA-00904 invalid column name" if I create a PreparedStatement from it and call executeQuery().
The query itself is substantially similar to:
SELECT foo, t.bar.getStringVal() from some_table t
where "Some table" is an oracle 9i table, "foo" is a varchar2 column, and "bar" is a column that used to be varchar2 before I dropped and re-created the table with an xmltype column instead. "t" is an alias for the table that I didn't used to need (since it's only one table), but apparently is required for getStringVal() to work.
... And, of course, .getStringVal() is being used as a convenient way to treat technically LOB-like xmltype columns as big ersatz varchar2 columns so I won't have to screw around with stream i/o just to read a 4,001-byte value into a String ;-)
I'm using the ojdbc14.jar thin driver and a fairly recent j2sdk (1.4.1_02, I think). I made a point of anihilating every copy of classes12.zip on my PC just to make sure it wasn't lurking in a classpath somewhere to screw things up.
Strangely enough, it DOES work from within Netbeans' database explorer (itself connecting to the same Oracle database using the ojdbc14.jar thin driver).
For the sake of being comprehensive, here's an example of the actual JDBC code that won't work:
public ResultSet doQuery(Connection conn, int val) throws SQLException {
String sql = "SELECT foo, t.bar.getStringVal() from some_table t where anothercolumn = ?";
PreparedStatement sth = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
sth.setInt(1, val);
ResultSet rs = sth.executeQuery();
// everything past this point is moot,
// because sth.executeQuery throws an exception...
// however, the ResultSet would ultimately be
// returned to the method's caller, and
// its values read using getString(fieldname)
// including 'bar', the xmltype field...

OK, this particular problem was my fault. The original table was on a server running 8i. To spare myself the grief of having to deal with CLOBs on 8i's terms and take advantage of 9i's new conveniences for handling them, I created a new table on our other server that's running 9i and updated the app's config settings to reflect the new server. Unfortunately, I forgot that the debugging/testing main() method had the URL of the old database hardcoded (it was written before the rest of the class). Ergo... it was still looking at the old database. Oops. (*blush*).

Oracle Invalid Column Name Error in JSP

I was wondering if anyone could provide some help. I am new to JSP, Beans and Oracle and I am getting a java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00904: invalid column name error when I run the JSP below. The Java Bean's code it is referencing is also included and this bean is just storing information from the server from a previous login page.
Eventually I need to display more columns from the database using this JSP, but since I can even get this one working, I am at a loss!
PLEASE HELP!!!!
I have even tried to replace the beans reference in the sql with just a login and password I know exists in the database! Same error... Help!
I am running Tomcat and Oracle 9i!

Hi
Thanks for your reply, I should of looked at my code before I copied over. The field should of been "studentinfo.familyname" which I was calling, I have just been changing so much code in this to try and see what the problem is, I didnt fix this before I copied this over.... trust me, I have tried everything........ Hence when I correctly called the "concatination the login name and password to the query properly" as you pointed out, I got rid of the error, BUT now it returning NO DATA????? (the table is populated - I have checked this!!!!)
The table I am trying to get information from sits under a schema called system. It has the following columns;
STUDENTID NUMBER 8
FAMILYNAME VARHCAR 60
GIVENNAME VARCHAR 60
USERNAME VARCHAR 9
PASSWORD VHARCHAR 60
The database is called globaldb. My computer is called Midas2
Whats more, the query works in Oracle sql*plus!!! Returning the relevent data!!!
Actually here is the code for the JSP, with all the changes and none of the mistakes of my previous post...........,
Pleaes help!!!

Invalid column name in WLS 6.1 sp4

We have been using WLS 6.1 sp2 with toplink and never had any problems. Recently
we migrated to sp4 and get a invalid column name exception while updating records.
For select queries there is no error. The SQL generated by toplink is -
UPDATE PR_SUPP SET CNTC_PRSN_NAME = ''
, REMK = 'Remark 123', LAST_CHNG_DTTM = {ts '2002-11-29 10:59:56.0'} WHERE ((S
UPP_CODE = 'A0001') AND (LAST_CHNG_DTTM = {ts '2002-11-29 10:46:01.0'}))
It looks like some problem with the JDBC driver. The databse is Oracle 8.17. How
to fix it
The exception stack trace is -

We have changed default thin driver to 920 from 817 in 610sp4. If you are using 817/901 dbserver, please put 817/901 classes12.zip in your
classpath before weblogic.jar and you will be ok.

We have been using WLS 6.1 sp2 with toplink and never had any problems. Recently
we migrated to sp4 and get a invalid column name exception while updating records.
For select queries there is no error. The SQL generated by toplink is -
UPDATE PR_SUPP SET CNTC_PRSN_NAME = ''
, REMK = 'Remark 123', LAST_CHNG_DTTM = {ts '2002-11-29 10:59:56.0'} WHERE ((S
UPP_CODE = 'A0001') AND (LAST_CHNG_DTTM = {ts '2002-11-29 10:46:01.0'}))
It looks like some problem with the JDBC driver. The databse is Oracle 8.17. How
to fix it
The exception stack trace is -
