ORA-00932 in Native Query

Hello.
I'm using some native queries in my EJB 3.0 project.
When I write a native query like
INSERT INTO SOME_TABLE VALUES (:val0, :val1, :val2) and use the executeUpdate() method of the Query interface after assigning all parameters to values other than null everything works OK.
However, if I let any of the values be null (even though that exactly what I want to put in the database) I get the following exception:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got BINARY
Is there any way to go arround this? I really must write the nulls to the database.
Thanks in advance,

Do you mean writing a query like
"INSERT INTO SOME TABLES VALUES :val0, NULL, :val2"
instead of
"INSERT INTO SOME TABLES VALUES :val0, :val1, :val2"
where the val1 parameter would be assigned a null variable, or passing a null directly in setParameter (query.setParameter("val1", null)) instead of a null variable (query.setParameter("val1", nulVar))?

PL/SQL: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected UDT got NUMBER

Hi all,
Wondering if you could assist? I'm exploring User Types and having a small problem. I'm getting the above error for a user type I have created which I'm calling in a function. Here's what my code looks like which I'm running the 'scott' schema for testing purposes
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE NBR_COLL AS TABLE OF NUMBER;
2 /

SQL> create or replace FUNCTION first_rec_only

Any clues to what I'm doing wrong? Cheers.

The deptno column is a number, you cannot directly select a number into your type, you need to use your type's constructor.
Something like:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION first_rec_only (NUM_ID IN NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER IS
   v_num NBR_COLL;
BEGIN
   SELECT nbr_coll(deptno) INTO v_num from dept;
   RETURN v_num(v_num.FIRST);
END first_rec_only;Note that although this will compile, it will throw ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows when you run it. you need to either use the input parameter as a predicate on your query against dept, use rownum = 1 in the query or use bulk BULK COLLECT INTO, depending on what exactly you want to accomplish.

Issue in running GTC having Customized & native query

Hi Experts,
We are creating "OIM 9.1 - OIM11g SYNC GTC". When Scheduled task is run, this GTC should be updating the records of OIM11g by taking the data from OIM 9.1 DB.
We have used the following connection parameters:

Binding dynamic variable in XQuery doesn't work: ORA-00932

I have a table with several columns. One of those columns is a XMLType.
My goal is to have a query which selects rows from the table of which the XML column matches certain criteria.
I'm trying following example (JDBC) : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28369/xdb_xquery.htm#insertedID11
First, I created my own query, which looks like:
select * from MyTable t, XMLTABLE( xmlnamespaces (DEFAULT 'http://test), 'for $i in /RootElement where $i/SubElement[contains(Element, "someValue")] return "true"' passing t.xmlColumn)This works as expected. Next, as done in the example, I'm trying to replace the "someValue" with a dynamic variable.
Query then looks like:
select * from MyTable t, XMLTABLE( xmlnamespaces (DEFAULT 'http://test), 'for $i in /RootElement where $i/SubElement[contains(Element, $val)] return "true"' passing t.xmlColumn, :1 as "val")This does not seem to work, neither in SQLDeveloper nor in java.
I always get the :
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CHAR(SQLDeveloper just gives ORA-00932)
When I put $val between quotes (so "$val") then I get no error, but then I get no results either.
I think it will not replace $val in that case but just use it as a literal, so thats not what I want
I also tried to remove "contains" xpath and use the exact same example as on the oracle page
select * from MyTable t, XMLTABLE( xmlnamespaces (DEFAULT 'http://test), 'for $i in /RootElement where $i/SubElement/Key = $val return "true"' passing t.xmlColumn, :1 as "val")But this doens't help either.
I'm clueless about this, so any help would be appreciated

Ok, I tested it using the latest enterprise edition (11g) and there it works as expected.
However, on 10.2.0.1.0 and 10.2.0.3.0 it gives this error.
Is this a bug which has been fixed or should I do something special on 10g ?
I installed all of these as normal without any special settings, created the tables and ran the query...

ORA-00932 Error using 11g and the SDO_RELATE function. Works fine in 10g

Hello,
If I run this query in Oracle 11g:
SELECT M.FID, MAX(M.VERSION) AS VERSION
FROM SW_PB.A_ROADNODEINFORMATION M, SW_PB.ROADNODE N
WHERE M.REFERENCETOROADNODE = N.FID
AND M.NODEVERSION = N.VERSION
AND M.CATALOGUEID <= 477
AND MDSYS.SDO_RELATE( N.GEOM, MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY(2003,81989,NULL,MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1,1003,3),MDSYS.SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(120000,0,160000,40000)),'MASK=ANYINTERACT QUERYTYPE=WINDOW') = 'TRUE'
GROUP BY M.FID;
I get an error regarding the N.GEOM field. The error is as follows:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got MDSYS.SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY
The same query runs fine on a 10g database with the same data. I've even truncated the N table and still get the error. I've rebuilt the index but it makes no difference and the metadata is exactly the same for this table as it is for other tables that are involved in a similar query.
It looks like a bug to me but just wondered if anyone else had come across this?
Thanks,
Peter.

Thanks for the reply. I'm really sorry but I haven't created trace files like this for a very long time and have forgotten the best way to read them. This is the start of the trace file, any help with reformatting it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter.

[8i] Case statement generates ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes

Note: I am working with an 8i database (yes, it is quite old), and in this situation, I have to deal with the datatypes (i.e. CHAR), I am given to work with.
I am attempting to calculate the amount of time product waits between manufacturing steps. As I've discovered though, sometimes I get a negative value when subtracting the date the previous step completes from the date the current step starts. As it is generally impossible to start a later step before an earlier step (imagine trying to screw a cap onto a bottle that doesn't have threads cut yet--it just can't happen), what I've found is that sometimes two steps are started on the same day and finished on the same day (though not necessarily the day they started). This situation CAN happen when one person did both steps and logged on to both steps at the same time, rather than logging on to one, then the other. So, what I need to do in these situations is replace the negative number with a zero (I'll treat the later step as having no wait time).
Here is some sample data:
(Note: the real data set is the result of a query, and has around 200K rows and more columns, but this should be representative enough to find a solution that works on my actual application.)

                              )     AS last_step_finished
     FROM     steps s
     );I know I've had inconsistent datatype errors before with case statements in this particular 8i database, but I can't seem to figure out why I'm getting one this time. I think it has something to do with the NULL values that can occur for last_step_finished. Also, if I change the case statement to:
,     CASE
          WHEN     start_dt - last_step_finished     < 0
          THEN     NULL
          ELSE     start_dt - last_step_finished -- THIS LINE GENERATES THE ORA-00932 ERROR
     END     the query runs just fine. But, I don't want NULL, I want 0. In the next level of this query, I will be taking averages by item_id/step_nbr, and I want the 0's to be included in the average. (NULL values, as far as I can tell, would be excluded. AVG(NULL, 1, 2) =AVG (1,2) = 1.5 NOT AVG(0,1,2) = 1).
Thanks in advance!

Thanks, TO_NUMBER did the trick. Since you didn't state in your post where to use TO_NUMBER, here is my final solution, in case anyone in the future looks through this thread to find an answer to their question:
SELECT     item_id
,     ord_nbr
,     sub_nbr
,     step_nbr
,     CASE
          WHEN     start_dt - last_step_finished     < 0
          THEN     0
          ELSE     TO_NUMBER(start_dt - last_step_finished)
     END                         AS days_in_queue
FROM     (
     SELECT     s.*
     ,     LAG (s.finish_date)     OVER     ( PARTITION BY s.item_id
                                ,          s.ord_nbr
                                ,          s.sub_nbr
                                ORDER BY     s.step_nbr
                              )     AS last_step_finished
     FROM     steps s
     );Edited by: user11033437 on Jun 27, 2011 11:17 AM
I see you edited your post to add TO_NUMBER to it.

ORA-00932 Using Structured XML Table

Hello,
I'm having a problem in trying to create and use a Structured XML Table.
I have created very small sample that illustrates my problem:
I have registered the following schema:
<schema
targetNamespace="http://tsldev01.thesoftlife.com:7887/SoftTop/Schemas/Jjm.xsd"
xmlns:jjm="http://tsldev01.thesoftlife.com:7887/SoftTop/Schemas/Jjm.xsd" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
elementFormDefault="qualified">
<complexType name="JjmType">
<choice maxOccurs="unbounded">
<element name = "Key" type = "string"></element>
<element name = "Type" type = "string"></element>
<element name = "AccessID" type = "string"></element>
</choice>
</complexType>
<element name ="Jjm" type="jjm:JjmType"/>
</schema>'
Then I created the following table:
CREATE TABLE JJM_SCHEMA of XMLType
XMLSCHEMA "http://tsldev01.thesoftlife.com:7887/SoftTop/Schemas/Jjm.xsd"
ELEMENT "Jjm";
Then I inserted the following row:
insert into JJM_SCHEMA values(xmltype('<Jjm
                         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
                         xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://tsldev01.thesoftlife.com:7887/SoftTop/Schemas/Jjm.xsd">
<Key>anp</Key>
               <Type>User</Type>
<AccessID>TSL2</AccessID>
</Jjm>'));
Then I do the following query:
SELECT
extract(value(x),
'/Jjm[Type="User"]') AS jjmXML FROM JJM_SCHEMA x
WHERE existsNode(value(x),'/Jjm[Type="User"]') = 1;
I get this error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected UDT got CHAR
However, if I remove the Xpath predicate [Type="User"] from the "extract()" function and WHERE clause...
SELECT
extract(value(x),
'/Jjm') AS jjmXML FROM JJM_SCHEMA x
WHERE existsNode(value(x),'/Jjm') = 1;
The query works.
Also, If I change the schema from <choice maxOccurs="unbounded"> to <sequence>... either query works.
I need the "choice" type element to work with the Xpath predicate. Am I missing something?
Thanks in advance.

Which version of the database are you using...
Testing with 9.2.0.4.0 I had to add an xmlns declaration to the instance document before I could insert it into the table
<Jjm xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://tsldev01.thesoftlife.com:7887/SoftTop/Schemas/Jjm.xsd" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://tsldev01.thesoftlife.com:7887/SoftTop/Schemas/Jjm.xsd">
     <Key>anp</Key>
     <Type>User</Type>
     <AccessID>TSL2</AccessID>
</Jjm>
However once that was done I get the following.

Ora-00932 "expected number got -"... error comes and goes

We have several procedures in a package which get called by an asp.net application. The procedures return a sys_refcursor as an out param, by going OPEN param FOR big complicated query. There are about seven procedures which encapsulate different queries. Sometimes, this package seems to just get into a bad mood.
The symptom is, every time the application calls one of the procedures, it gets back the error "ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got -", with the line number being the beginning of the "OPEN param FOR" statement. But then, if I open SQL Developer and fiddle around with the package, the error goes away... like, sometimes if I manually invoke one of the procedures in script form from the SQL Developer window, it returns successfully there, and then for the rest of the day the application works fine. Then on some other day the app starts getting the error again. Recompiling the package also sometimes changes the state between erroring and working.
I don't see how the error message can be a real error if these changing circumstances allow the procedure to work sometimes but not other times with the same data. I also don't understand what "got -" is supposed to mean. I'm scared about what will happen if we ship something behaving this way. Any clues out there as to what is going on?

I have identified a possible workaround. There's an inner subquery that goes something like this:
SELECT fields FROM ( subquery_a UNION ALL subquery_b ) LEFT OUTER JOIN table_c ON (condition)
This in turn gets outer-joined to another subquery. Anyway, when I rewrite this subquery so there's no inside UNION ALL, the error goes away.
At least in a simplified case.
[edit] It looks like I have to avoid outer Union Alls as well.
[edit] And CONNECT_BY_ROOT.
[edit] And if I don't join one less-essential table. These three conditions actually each lead to three separate errors, any one of which will stop ODP.Net in its tracks though the query runs fine in sql plus or sqldeveloper. Using CONNECT_BY_ROOT causes the "expected NUMBER got -" error (even though the field I'm using it on is varchar2), the UNION ALL causes the internal error, and the harmful join causes a "end-of-file on communication channel". I can cause each of these independently of the other two, and I need three separate workarounds to get my product running!
I am starting to conclude that ODP.Net, which I was ordered to use because it's so much better than the Microsoft driver, is a sack o sewage.

ORA-00932 while using nvl with trunc function

What happens when trunc is executed on null?
I am executing the following query:
"select nvl(trunc(null),sysdate) from dual"
and this throws "ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got DATE, error at Line:1 Column:23".
Whereas "select nvl(null,sysdate) from dual" returns sysdate correctly.
Also "select trunc(null) from dual" returns null only. So when the returned null is passed through nvl why am I getting exception?
This is happening in ver 9.2.0.5.0 and 10.2.0.2.0
There is another observation, which is an issue that we have found in our code, and while trying to fix that we saw the earlier observation.
SELECT * FROM orgs, dual where
trunc(SYSDATE) between trunc(orgs.effective_start_date) and nvl(trunc(orgs.effective_end_date),trunc(sysdate))
Here effective start date and effective end date for orgs are null for all records.
When we run this query on ver 9.2.0.5.0, this runs without any exception. But when we run this query on ver 10.2.0.2.0, we get the same exception, "ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got DATE, error at Line:2 Column:95".
The join with dual is fake, in actual scenario we have join with other tables, but since we are able to replicate with dual, removed all other details to keep this simple.
Now if we remove the join with dual, the query works fine in both the env.
SELECT * FROM orgs where
trunc(SYSDATE) between trunc(orgs.effective_start_date) and nvl(trunc(orgs.effective_end_date),trunc(sysdate))

What happens when trunc is executed on null?
I am executing the following query:

and this throws "ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes:

Whereas "select nvl(null,sysdate) from dual" returns
sysdate correctly.
Also "select trunc(null) from dual" returns null
only. So when the returned null is passed through nvl
why am I getting exception?
This is happening in ver 9.2.0.5.0 and 10.2.0.2.0The first parameter to NVL is determining the expected datatype of the returned column, with the trunc function defaulting that to NUMBER because it's parameter is NULL. The second parameter to NVL needs to match that datatype which it doesn't because it is a date.

Similar problem like in:

I made a new thread since I didnt want to hijack the old one.

Please let us know the explain plan for your query.

Help with error select case statement (ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes)

Hi,
I'm struggling to get my sql query work on Oracle..
I have a table MyTable with 5 columns ( Column1, Column2, Column3, Column4, Column5 ) all are of type NVARCHAR2.
I need to check whether Column 3, Column 4 are empty or not in that order..and if they values then I wanna append it to Column2.
For example
If a row contains the following values,
Column 2 = a.b
Column 3 = 123
Column 4 = xyz
then column CA = a.b/123/xyz where column CA = temp column
If either Column 3 or Column 4 is empty/null, then I don't need to append value for that column..
For example
Column 2 = a.b
Column 3 = either NULL or ''
Column 4 = xyz
then CA = a.b/xyz where column CA = temp column
similarly..
Column 2 = a.b
Column 3 = 123
Column 4 = either NULL or ''
then CA = a.b/123 where column CA = temp column
Here is my query..
select MyTable.Column1 as CA0,
MyTable.Column2 as CA1,
MyTable.Column3 as CA2,
MyTable.Column4 as CA3,
MyTable.Column5 as CA4,
MyTable.Column2 + CASE WHEN MyTable.Column3 > '' THEN '/' + MyTable.Column3 ELSE '' END + CASE WHEN MyTable.Column4 > '' THEN '/' + MyTable.Column4 ELSE '' END CA
from MyTable;
This query works just fine against SQL Server db, but gainst Oracle I'm getting
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got CHAR
00932. 00000 - "inconsistent datatypes: expected %s got %s"
Could you please let me know what I'm doing wrong. I need to get this query working on both SQL Server and Oracle..
Please let me know your suggestions and thoughts..
Cheers,

I need to check whether Column 3, Column 4 are empty or not in that order..and if they values then I wanna append it to Column2. In Oracle, you can do it this way - no need to do all kinds of difficult things:
select col2||col3||col4
from tbl

Parameters in Native Query?

How can I add parameters to a native query?
The following approach does not work.
String query = "select * from a where type=:type";
Query q = em.createNativeQuery(query, A.class);
q.setParameter("type", 7);
q.getResultList();
I get the following exception:

We have tried to "cast" the L_DESC column with TO_CHAR but some column value exceeds 4000 chars.
Casting with TO_CLOB give the same first error.
Any idea ?

Hi ,
Thanks for your reply. We have finally find the problem :)
Instead of UNION, we perform an UNION ALL. With UNION Oracle had to check unicity
between rows containing NCLOB columns...
Hopefully, in our case UNION ALL does the trick !

could you please pointed out whether ref cursor used method correct or not?

The use looks correct but without your tables and DDL we can't even try to reproduce the problem.
Notice how you had to break down the process to find out the query that is causing the problem?
select *
from TABLE(pkg_mkt_hub_load.fnc_pipe_tot_lvl_idx_mon_hub(CURSOR(SELECT . . .Unfortunately, this is where you should have started when you began creating the process.
You are trying to design, implement and debug a process using code that has 3,4, 5 or more layers and objects and tables that have a dozen or more columns.
That is not the way I would recommend especially if you do not have experience with some of the pieces like object types and tables, pipelined functions and ref cursors. You are trying to deal with too many complications at the same time.
Here is how I would approach this if I were you.
1. Get the process to work first and then build on it. Start by copying and hacking up what you already have.
2. Create a very simple version of each of the pieces
3. Create an object type like 'tot_lvl_idx_mon_ot' with only one or two columns.
4. Create an object type like 'tot_lvl_idx_mon_tt' as a table of that simple object type
5. Create a pipelined function that uses the two new simple types, simply hard-codes a value for one or two rows and then pipes out the rows.
6. Use a simple query like the last one you posted to query the simple pipelined function
select *
from TABLE(pkg_mkt_hub_load.simpe_pipeline_function(CURSOR(SELECT . . .Work on that simple set of objects until you have the process defined and working.
Then expand the now working example to use get the data values dynamically and to use more complicated objects.
Start with something simple that works. Then build on it.
It will take a lot less time and will point out other issues with your approach to this. Also, if you try a simple version using the SCOTT emp or dept table and it doesn't work you can post the code and we can try to reproduce it and help find the problem.

Getting ORA-00932 with any object table

Hi, I'm new to Oracle and it's enormous community so I apologize in advance for posting
in the wrong place or for giving not enough information.
As I just said, I'm new to Oracle therefore I'm following the [introductory guide|http://www.mcs.csueastbay.edu/support/oracle/doc/10.2/appdev.102/b14260/adobjint.htm#sthref102] and trying the examples it gives one-by-one.
I used to use MySql in the past but now I need to use a more stable and scalable database that allows
the storage of objects.
I'm using Oracle 10.g XE on a GNU/Linux computer (Ubuntu 8.10)
Let's start with the question:
in the Example 1-6 the following code is given:
CREATE TYPE emp_person_typ AS OBJECT (
name     VARCHAR2(30),
manager REF emp_person_typ );
Type created.
CREATE TABLE emp_person_obj_table OF emp_person_typ;
Table created.
INSERT INTO emp_person_obj_table
SELECT emp_person_typ ('Bob Jones', REF(e))
    FROM emp_person_obj_table e
    WHERE e.name = 'John Smith';
1 row(s) inserted.Executing these queries return successfull messages.
But when I try to retrieve the records by using this query:
select * from emp_person_obj_table;or when accessing the "Data" tab of that table in the Object Browser"
I get this error:
(error report:)
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got REF RESMAN.EMP_PERSON_TYPAll queries are executed in the Application Express (2.1.0.00.39) query runner.
I think I did everything in the right manner, although the code is just copy-pasted from the guide, so I can't realize
why this annoying error is still appearing when accessing that table.
I noticed that executing the same selection query as above in the SQL*Plus CLI works as expected
and returns a resultset.
Thanks in advance for any reply.

Since the query works in SQL*Plus, I would tend to assume that this is a limitation of the APEX query runner. If you post over in the APEX forum, someone may be able to confirm that or suggest a way of working around it.
Do you need to use the APEX query runner? Could you use SQL*Plus or SQL Developer instead?
