ORA-00932: inconsistent data types: expected NUMBER got BINARY

ORA-00932: inconsistent data types: expected NUMBER got BINARY
Hi,
Could anyone help in resolving my problem?
I m developing cmp beans in Jbuilder X,
My database is Oracle 10g, running on Linux and Application server is Oracle10gAs. Running on Windows.
I can deploy my Entity EJBs OK and look then up using finder methods as long as Ive created the data directly in the database using SQL*Plus for instance.
In the database I have my primary keys defined as type NUMBER
In my EJB the corresponding number fields get mapped as java.math.BigDecimal.
which according to the Oracle JDBC specification is how they are mapped.
Problem:
When I try to create a new database entity through my EJB entity bean I get:-
Error "ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got BINARY".
The value of the number being used as the primary key in this example is 10.
Eg:-
BigDecimal pk = new BigDecimal(10);
TestBean test = home.create(pk);
The datatype in my EJB Deployment descriptor ejb-jar-xml <pri-key-class> is java.math.BigDecimal>
The jdbc driver defined in my application.xml is
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriverand url="jdbc:oracle:thin..." in the connection.
Ive even tried mapping a datatype as described in the Oracle FAQs but this didnt work.
21.     I'm trying to deploy a CMP entity bean with a field type BigDecimal and the table creation fails with an error. How do I work around this?
You have to perform the following steps prior to deploy your application.
o     Define the mapping for java.math.BigDecimal in the database-schemas/oracle.xml as follows:
<type-mapping type="java.math.BigDecimal" name="number(20,8)" />o     Use this schema in your data-source as follows:-
<data-source
class="com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerDataSource"
name="OracleDS"
ejb-location="jdbc/OracleDS"
schema="database-schemas/oracle.xml"
connection-driver="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver"
username="scott"
password="tiger"
url="jdbc:oracle:thin:@localhost:1521:DEBU"
clean-available-connections-threshold="30"
rac-enabled="false"
inactivity-timeout="30"
/>

Further clarification of my problem.
Originally I said the error occurred when deploying EJB's
Correction: I can deploy them OK on the application server However the Error message occurs when I try to create a new EJB entity, the only value required is the Primary key which I pass as type BidDecimal.
If I create entries directly in the database my EJB findByPrimaryKey can find entities OK.
But I cant create new ones through EJB.
What realy baffels me is why I'm able to read data through the connection but not write.
The datatype in my EJB Deployment descriptor ejb-jar-xml <pri-key-class> is java.math.BigDecimal>
The jdbc driver defined in my application.xml is
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
and url="jdbc:oracle:thin..." in the connection.

ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got BINARY

when run this code then get the above error why please , image column long raw data type , and can i get length from long raw data type pleaee can send me example if you can and thanks alot
declare

begin
select image into ( src_lob) from emp where empno=7900;
buf:=dbms_lob.getlength( src_lob);
dbms_output.put_line(buf);
end;

Your question has nothing to do with XQuery and is more appropriate for the {forum:id=75} forum. You will also need to include which line is raising the error message. It would be best to post the entire error message in your thread instead of just part of it in the subject.
Out of curiosity, why are you returning .getLength, which returns a number, into a varchar2(32000) field? Seems overkill.

ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got LONG

Hi,
I am facing problem while issuing the command:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got LONG
SELECT TEXT FROM USER_VIEWS WHERE TEXT LIKE '%ASCII%'
Any help will be needful for me
Thanks and Regards

Please go through this
If you try to search a LONG column, this is what will happen:
SQL> select record_no, comments
2 from long_demo
3 where
4 comments like '%LONG%';
comments like '%LONG%'
ERROR at line 4:
ORA-00932: inconsistent data types
That's right; you can't search the contents of a LONG column. Here's what happens if you try to apply a function to a LONG column.
SQL> select record_no, substr(comments,1,5)
2 from long_demo;
select record_no, substr(comments,1,5)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00932: inconsistent data types
Again, Oracle won't enable you to apply a function to a LONG column. In a sense, you can think of a LONG column as a large container into which you can store or retrieve data--;but not manipulate it.
I have taken this content from
http://docs.rinet.ru/Oru7na95/ch10.html
which I refer to when I get stuck up. Hope this helps you.

Problems with java constructor: "inconsistent data types" in SQL query

Hi,
I tried to define a type "point3d" with some member functions, implemented in java, in my database. Therefor I implemented a class Point3dj.java as you can see it below and loaded it with "loadjava -user ... -resolve -verbose Point3dj.java" into the database.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
package spatial.objects;
import java.sql.*;
public class Point3dj implements java.sql.SQLData {
public double x;
public double y;
public double z;
public void readSQL(SQLInput in, String type)
throws SQLException {
x = in.readDouble();
y = in.readDouble();
z = in.readDouble();
public void writeSQL(SQLOutput out)
throws SQLException {
out.writeDouble(x);
out.writeDouble(y);
out.writeDouble(z);
public String getSQLTypeName() throws SQLException {
return "Point3dj";
public Point3dj(double x, double y, double z)
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.z = z;
public static Point3dj create(double x, double y, double z)
return new Point3dj(x,y,z);
public double getNumber()
return Math.sqrt(this.x*this.x + this.y*this.y + this.z*this.z);
public static double getStaticNumber(double px, double py, double pz)
return Math.sqrt(px*px+py*py+pz*pz);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Additionally, I created the corresponding type in SQL by
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE point3dj AS OBJECT EXTERNAL NAME
'spatial.objects.Point3dj' LANGUAGE JAVA USING SQLDATA (
x FLOAT EXTERNAL NAME 'x',
y FLOAT EXTERNAL NAME 'y',
z FLOAT EXTERNAL NAME 'z',
MEMBER FUNCTION getNumber RETURN FLOAT
EXTERNAL NAME 'getNumber() return double',
STATIC FUNCTION getStaticNumber(xp FLOAT, yp FLOAT, zp FLOAT) RETURN FLOAT
EXTERNAL NAME 'getStaticNumber(double, double, double) return double')
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After that I tried some SQL commands:
create table pointsj of point3dj;
insert into pointsj values (point3dj(2,1,1));
SELECT x, a.getnumber() FROM pointsj a;Now, the problem:
Everything works fine, if I delete the constructor
public Point3dj(double x, double y, double z)
this.x = x;
this.y = y;
this.z = z;
in the java class, or if I replace it with a constructor that has no input arguments.
But with this few code lines in the java file, I get an error when executing the SQL command
SELECT x, a.getnumber() FROM pointsj a;The Error is:
"ORA-00932: inconsistent data types: an IN argument at position 1 that is an instance of an Oracle type convertible to an instance of a user defined Java class expected, an Oracle type that could not be converted to a java class received"
I think, there are some problems with the input argument of the constructor, but why? I don't need the constructor in SQL, but it is used by a routine of another java class, so I can't just delete it.
Can anybody help me? I would be very glad about that since I already tried a lot and also search in forums and so on, but wasn't successful up to new.
Thanks!

Dear Avi,
This makes sense when it is a short code sample (and i think i've done that across various posts), but sometime this is too long to copy/paste, in these cases, i refer to the freely available code samples, as i did above on this forum; here is the quote.
Look at examples of VARRAY and Nested TABLES of scalar types in the code samples of my book (chapter 8) http://books.elsevier.com/us//digitalpress/us/subindex.asp?maintarget=companions/defaultindividual.asp&isbn=9781555583293&country=United+States&srccode=&ref=&subcode=&head=&pdf=&basiccode=&txtSearch=&SearchField=&operator=&order=&community=digitalpress
As you can see, i was not even asking people to buy the book, just telling them where to grab the code samples.
I appreciate your input on this and as always, your contribution to the forum, Kuassi

ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected DATE got NUMBER at OCI call OCIStmtExecute in OBIEE 11g

Hi Friends,
I am getting this error : ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected DATE got NUMBER at OCI call OCIStmtExecute when I am trying to put the filter condition on the date column.
"Dim-Time"."Day" <= cast(MAX("Dim-Time"."Day") as date) and "Dim-Time"."Day" >= TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH, -1,cast(MAX("Dim-Time"."Day") as date).
I have casted the max date but though I am getting the above error. I am thinking max(date) is creating the problem.
Please suggest your on opinion this.
Thanks.

Not sure why you need cast in your statement if at all it is required then you need to do as below
cast("Dim-Time"."Day" as date)<= cast(MAX("Dim-Time"."Day") as date) and cast("Dim-Time"."Day" as date) >= TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH, -1,cast(MAX("Dim-Time"."Day") as date).

Are there multiple columns in the table you are using from your LOV?
Your LOV select is:

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.

ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected UDT got NUMBER

Hello Friends...
i got this error while inserting record ..
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected UDT got NUMBER
wht is that UDT ??
Thanks..

You cannot insert into your table STUDENT using the COURSE_TAB collection, since the column SUB is defined as a single object type.
So either you have to modify your insert into two inserts as follows;
INSERT INTO STUDENT VALUES(1,COURSE('1','ORACLE') )
INSERT INTO STUDENT VALUES(1,COURSE('2','JAVA') )
/or you have to modify your table structure so you can store a nested table, which will allow you to have a single insert
something like this:
drop table s
drop type course_tab
create or replace type course_type as object (
CNO CHAR(1),
C_CNAME VARCHAR2(10)
CREATE or replace TYPE course_tab AS TABLE OF course_type;
create table s ( c course_tab )
nested table c store as course_list
-- You can now have a single insert as follows:
1* insert into s (c) values ( course_tab ( course_type('1','Java'), course_type('2','Oracle')) )
SQL> /
1 row created.Be careful of using nested tables though. asktom reckons one should not use them.

Ora 00932 expected number got date
