ORA-01722: invalid number when updating a CMP bean, SP10 WebLogic_RDBMS.jar problem?

Hi guys
We are having a problem with the migration to WLCS 3.2 SP2 / WLS 5.1 SP10.
We are moving from WLCS 3.2 and WLS SP6. Our CMP beans generate errors when
the container tries to update them. They deploy without error though.
See below for the stack trace
We use the recommended weblogic driver for our Oracle 8.1.7.0 database. WL
runs on w2k, and Oracle on Solaris 7.
Extract from set-environment:
SET DB_CLASSPATH=
SET PATH=%PATH%;%WEBLOGIC_HOME%\bin\oci815_8;%WLCS_ORACLE_HOME%\bin
SET
SQLPATH=C:\WebLogicCommerceServer3.2\db\oracle816;C:\WebLogicCommerceServer3
.2\db\oracle816\event;
Extract from weblogic.properties:
weblogic.jdbc.connectionPool.commercePool=\
url=jdbc:weblogic:oracle,\
driver=weblogic.jdbc.oci.Driver,\
I made a few experiments, and I noticed that generating the CMP classes
(with EJBC) with the old WebLogic_RDBMS.jar (from WLS SP6) is working fine.
Here is what I mean : ejbc uses the library
c:\weblogic\lib\persistence\WebLogic_RDBMS.jar And this library has changed
with SP10. However since that change and after rebuilding our jars, all CMP
entity beans fail to update.
If I just replace that WebLogic_RDBMS.jar with the previous one (from SP6),
and without changing anything else, our CMP beans work fine. I did not
change any driver or xml deployment descriptor.
One of the generated files in the jar (for our bean
VisibilityPSWebLogic_CMP_RDBMS.class) differs, and that seems to be the
cause of the problem.
I jadded that class and here is a difference I notice:
OLD, ejbc ran with SP6 WebLogic_RDBMS.jar : visibilitybean.targetCompanyId =
(BigDecimal)resultset.getObject(5);
NEW, ejbc ran with SP10 WebLogic_RDBMS.jar : visibilitybean.targetCompanyId
= resultset.getBigDecimal(5, 35);
Similar differences for the SETbigdecimal.
Dunno if that will help, but I'm attaching the 2 jar files with explicit
names.
Damn that was long, I hope someone will read it... Thanks for any help on
this, see stack trace attached below

You are using WebLogic jDriver for Oracle which needs exact version of OCI API, that comes with the Oracle client installation. Ensure that you have installed the right Oracle client version. And updated the PATH properly.
I notice that you have
bin/oci815_8
oracle816
Thsi looks liek the inconsistency in your environment.
What you need to do is
1. find oci817_8 and place that in the PATH.
2. install oracle 817 and use that client and set the ORACLE_HOME environment variable and the PATH properly.
Try this and see if it helps.
BTW - WLS 5.1 is EOL

I am doing it with the help of the importer tool in the SQLDeveloper, by doing a right-click onto the table and selecting import data. In the assistant everything seem to be fine, even the data preview.
But when I try to import, I get an error: "ORA-01722: Invalid number" and a couple of failure windows appear. These windows display a NullPointerException:

As one can see, the numbers are quoted ('). If I delete the quotes by hand, the insert statement works correctly.
What can I do, so that the import tool does not quote the numbers?
Deleting the quotes with the help of a regular expression is not workaround, since a lot of error windows appear, which needs to be closed by hand...
Thanks in advance,

ORA-01722: invalid number when performing query

Hi,
I am running SQL Developer on a laptop (XP Pro) accessing Oracle Applications
Product Version     11.5.10.2
Platform     IBM SP AIX
OS Version     AIX
Database     9.2.0.7.0
Support ID     14460365
If I run the following query it works fine -
select
mtrh.request_number
,to_number(mtrh.request_number)
from
mtl_txn_request_headers mtrh
where
to_number(mtrh.request_number) = 135060
and mtrh.request_number = '135060' -- works with this line in!!!!
however if I comment out the last line I get
An error was encountered performing the requested operation :
ORA-01722: invalid number
The field request_number is defined as varchar2(30)
It seems that there is something strange about the way it handles to_number in where clauses.
Thanks
Mick Sulley

You have an invalid number in request_number. If you add "and mtrh.request_number = '135060' ", the result set will be reduced to only those rows which have 135060 in the column and the to_number() will work. WIthout that row, it does to_number(request_number) for all rows in order to identify the one you want. When it comes across a request_number column which contains an invalid number it reports an error.
<preach>
If request_number is a number then it should be stored in a number column. If it isn't, don't try an convert it to a number.

The problem was related with the way RoR is accessing my table. I don't know the reason, but RoR is automatically building the SELECT sentence declaring my 'id' column as VARCHAR, so the sentence includes the expression " comics.id = '2.0' ".
I would like to hear the advice from more experienced RoR developers in order to solve this little issue... (I believe this is more a RoR problem than an Oracle one, but I didn't find anything useful in Rail forums).
Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Are you saying that if you do not modify the WHERE condition and run the SELECT as-is (as in your original post) in SQL*Plus, you get the same error?
Can you post a test case? I'm not getting any error in example below.

Error Message (ORA-01722: invalid number) when add amount into Number field

I am using VB.net, trying to insert data into a field called amt with Data Type 'Number'.
my vb.net code is as follows
Dim oradb As String = DatabaseConnectionString
Dim AmountValue As Decimal = 123.45
'get the connection
Dim conn As New OracleConnection(oradb)
'open the database connection
conn.Open()

I got error message "ORA-01722: invalid number". Please help

Did you also change the below line before inserting Integer 123:
cmd.Parameters.Add(":AMT", OracleDbType.Decimal, AmountValue, ParameterDirection.Input)
to
cmd.Parameters.Add(":AMT", OracleDbType.Integer, AmountValue, ParameterDirection.Input)

Encountered ORA-01722 Invalid number when query doc from view

Hi all,
I have the following view.
Select item, to_number(wo) a
from tablea
union all
select item, wo
from tablebb
The problem rise ( ORA-01722) when I try to search for wo from the view after the view has been created. The wo field in tablea was varchar2 where user will key in the number only. And wo in tabebb is number, I can't change the column format as it is belong the my standard application table. How to solve this problem ?
Thanks

sm**** wrote:
I try to simplified my query. In fact, there are several where clause for both tables. The reason is because of the varchar2 field in WO at tablea versus the numeric field in WO for tableb. OK. The problem then is almost certainly that you have non-numeric characters in the column but you don't happen to have non-numeric characters in the columns that match all the other predicates.
Oracle is free to apply the TO_NUMBER function before it applies some or all of the predicates you specify in your WHERE clause. If it happens to apply the TO_NUMBER on a row that has non-numeric data before it applies the condition in the WHERE clause that filters out that particular row, you'll get an error. If, on the other hand, Oracle happens to filter out the row before applying the TO_NUMBER, you'll get the results you expect. It all comes down to which plan Oracle picks. But, in general, there is no guarantee about whether you'll get an error or whether you'll get the data you want.
You can define your own function
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION my_to_number( p_str IN VARCHAR2 )
RETURN number
IS
l_num NUMBER;
BEGIN
l_num := to_number( p_str );
RETURN l_num;
EXCEPTION
WHEN others THEN
RETURN null;
END;and use that instead of to_number in your query. That will catch the exception if the function is applied to a row before one of the predicates is applied.

EXECUTE IMMEDIATE ORA-01722 invalid number

hi all
i have a plsql procedure in which the following statement which gives this error ORA-01722: invalid number
sql_stmt :='UPDATE Student set '||stu_gradefor||'=TO_NUMBER('||stu_marks||') where UserID='||stu_UID;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sql_stmt;
here all variables (stu_marks,stu_gradefor and stu_UID) are varchar2 coming from different procedure(form) but in the table named Student column HW1 (stu_gradefor) is of datatype number.
I have tried a lot but could not make it to work. Is it that we cannot enter an number through EXECUTE IMMEDIATE? If Possible can somebody help me with this?
Thanks a lot.
Regards
Jyoti

create table Student(UserID varchar2(8) not null, HW1 number(3) , HW2 number(3) , PA1 number(3) , ................);
create table Domain(R_Domain varchar2(11) not null, R_Status char(1) not null, R_Date Date null,R_Value varchar2(11) null, R_Mean varchar2(300) not null);
insert into Domain( R_Domain, R_Status, R_Value, R_Mean )values(
'Term','t','PA1','First Programming Assignment');
Full names for HW1, HW2, PA1....are in the Domain table. so in variable stu_gradefor we get the R_Value.
this is true :variable stu_marks is not actually a number, so the TO_NUMBER is causing the error. stu_marks is of datatype varchar2 but the field HW1,.. are all expecting a numeric value.
i tried SELECT TO_NUMBER(stu_marks) INTO gmark FROM DUAL;
sql_stmt :='UPDATE Student set '||stu_gradefor||'=(:1) where UserID='||stu_UID;
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE sql_stmt using gmark;
where gmark is a number but noting works.same error
This can be true:the column userid is a varchar2 column with a mix of numeric and alpha numeric values. userid value that i inserted was'12345678'
i there any other way to handle this situation?
Thanks for replying

Select fn_st_bb_nm_uc (‘1232131312, 123213312’) from dual;
SQL> /
Select fn_st_bb_nm_uc ('1232131312, 123213312') from dual
ERROR at line 1:

It’s giving an invalid number error. When we pass one value it is working fine but when we pass a string of values it gives this error. I have opened an SR around this but would greatly appreciate your help
Acc_blackbar is the table and acc_blkbr_id is of type number.

Error Message - ORA-01722 Invalid Number

Hello:
I have the following situation. When I create an organization, a record is inserted into the following table, AGREEMENTS, and populates four fields.
I have an update form which selects the organization from the AGREEMENTS table so the user can populate the rest of the table. In addition, on this form, there is a drop-down box which allows the user to select the name of a legal document along with the version of the document in which the user needs to select. This select list is created via an LOV joining three tables. The item name for this select list is :P6_DOCUMENT.
The code for the LOV is:
SELECT S.DOC_NAME||' - '|| O.VERSION_NO AS DOC, O.ORG_DOC_CURR_KEY
FROM SUPPORTING_DOCS S,
     ORG_DOC_CURR_VER O,
     AGREEMENTS H
WHERE
    S.DOC_TYPE = 'HISA'
AND S.SUPPORTING_DOC_KEY = O.SUPPORTING_DOC_KEY
AND H.ORG_KEY_LE = O.ORG_KEY
AND O.ORG_KEY=:P6_ORG_KEY_LEWhen the user completes the form, the SUBMIT process is a PL/SQL block consisting of an UPDATE statement to update the AGREEMENTS table based on the selected organization and an INSERT statement to insert a record into the AGREEMENTS_DOC table to store the value stored in :P7_DOCUMENT.
Ok, now here is where my problem starts.
When I first bring up the form and I select the organization I want to update, I click the Search button to find the organization and I receive the following error message: ORA-01722 Invalid Number.
At this point all I'm doing is a basic search. There is no insert/update or anything going on. I'm not understanding why I would be receiving this error message.
The search is based on the database column ORG_KEY_LE whose datatype is NUMBER.
In my application, the item assigned to ORG_KEY_LE is P6_ORG_KEY_LE.
I have a PL/SQL block process created (On Load-Before Header) in the Page Rendering area of my page definition. The PL/SQL code that is written is:
BEGIN
IF :P6_SEARCH_ORG != '0' THEN
:P6_ORG_KEY_LE := :P6_SEARCH_ORG;
END IF;
END;I then have an Item created, :P6_SEARCH_ORG, which is a Select List. In the LOV portion of the page for this item, I have the following:
select ORG_KEY_LE display_value, ORG_KEY_LE return_value
from AGREEMENTS
order by 1The reason for using this table is because this table contains the newly created organization which needs to be updated with the remaining columns of data.
I then have a Search button in the Button area which has the following settings:
Button Position: Region Template Position #CHANGE#.
Condition Type: Value of Item in Express 1 is NULL.
Expression 1: :P6_ORG_KEY_LE.
To troubleshoot this problem, I created two pages, one page to do the UPDATE and the second page to do the INSERT.
The SEARCH functionality in both pages are identical.
When I run my UPDATE page, which only involves updating the missing fields, the process works. I have my search box, I'm able to search for the organization, make my updates, and I'm good.
When I run my INSERT page, which involves inserting the record with the assigned document, I receive the error message after I click the SEARCH button. In order to INSERT the record into this table, I first need to SELECT the organization that was UPDATED in the AGREEMENTS table (using the UPDATE page described in above paragraph). When I select the organization, the user can then assign the appropriate legal document to the organization and insert the record into the AGREEMENTS_DOC table.
Can someone help me with this error message? I'm not sure why I am able to perform my SEARCH on a page with the UPDATE statement, not able to perform the SEARCH on the page with my INSERT statement, and not be able to perform the SEARCH on the page that combines the UPDATE and INSERT statements.
I did some more troubleshooting and I do believe my SUBMIT process which contains the INSERT statement is the issue. I created a fourth page which doesn't have a SUBMIT process. I brought up the form, searched for my organization and the information for that organization appeared. The problem is definately with my UPDATE/INSERT process.
The PL/SQL block for the Submit process is the following:
BEGIN
update
    MDD.HISA_AGREEMENTS
     set
       LAST_UPDATED_BY=V('APP_USER'),
       APPROVER_SALUTATION=:P6_APPROVER_SALUTATION,
       APPROVER_FIRST_NAME=:P6_APPROVER_FIRST_NAME,
       APPROVER_MIDDLE_INITIAL=:P6_APPROVER_MIDDLE_INITIAL,
       APPROVER_LAST_NAME=:P6_APPROVER_LAST_NAME,
       APPROVER_NAME_SUFFIX=:P6_APPROVER_NAME_SUFFIX,
       APPROVER_EMAIL_ADDR=:P6_APPROVER_EMAIL_ADDR,
       SPONSOR_EMAIL_ADDR=:P6_SPONSOR_EMAIL_ADDR,
       APPROVER_TITLE=:P6_APPROVER_TITLE
where
      ORG_KEY_LE=:P6_ORG_KEY_LE
INSERT INTO
    HISA_AGREEMENT_DOCS
      (HISA_AGREEMENT_DOC_KEY,
       ORG_KEY_LE,
       APPLICATION_KEY,
       STATUS,
       STATUS_DATE,
       CREATED_BY,
       ORG_DOC_CURR_KEY)
VALUES
      (HISA_AGREEMENT_DOC_KEY_SEQ.NEXTVAL,
       :P6_ORG_KEY_LE,
       :P6_APPLICATION_KEY,
       'C',
       SYSDATE,
       V('APP_USER'),
       :P6_DOCUMENT)
END;There is something wrong with the above statement and I do not understand what it could be. Can someone help?
Thanks for the help.

Hi,
I believe you are on to something.
The select list for item :P6_DOCUMENT appears when I first bring up the form. When I select my organization and receive the error message, I clicked on the Session in the Developer's bar. The value in item/field :P6_DOCUMENT shows %null%.
This is the path in which my user would like to accomplish her task:
1. Select an organization
2. Display the information for that organization from the AGREEMENTS table
3. Enter the data for the remaining fields in the AGREEMENTS table
4. Select the document (:P6_DOCUMENT) from the drop-down.
5. Click Submit
6. Update the AGREEMENTS table with data entered in #3.
7. Insert a record into the AGREEMENTS_DOC table with the selection from #4.
Somehow I need the :P6_DOCUMENT field not to show the %null% during the SEARCH functionality. I think that is causing the problem.
How do I fix this?

ORA-01722 Invalid Number Error - report parameter

I have a report which runs successfully using the following simple select statement: -
select u.user_id, u.user_forename||' '||u.user_surname user_name,
fo.flight_number_in, fo.sta, fo.ata, fo.flight_number_out, fo.std, fo.atd
from users u, flight_operations_employees foe, flight_operations fo
where NVL(fo.sta, fo.std) between :P_Start and :P_End and
fo.record_number = foe.record_number and
u.user_id = foe.user_id
order by u.user_surname
Where P_Start and P_End are parameters passed from a form. I want to add further user option selections for the report and have added another parameter (P_inClause) where the user can select one or more items to select from. The column selected is a number on the table. I then want to pass this as another parameter into the report listing a number of valid values using the IN statement. The updated select statement is: -
select u.user_id, u.user_forename||' '||u.user_surname user_name,
fo.flight_number_in, fo.sta, fo.ata, fo.flight_number_out, fo.std, fo.atd
from users u, flight_operations_employees foe, flight_operations fo
where NVL(fo.sta, fo.std) between :P_Start and :P_End and
fo.record_number = foe.record_number and
u.user_id = foe.user_id and
u.user_id IN :P_inClauseorder by u.user_surname
u.user_id is a number column in the table. The value of P_inClause is set as a character parameter in the report and has the value (45,5,13,26) - as an example.
When I try running the report interactively it comes up with the ORA-01722 : Invalid Number error and points to the P_inClause parameter. If I type in the value directly into the select statement it works fine.
Do you have any ideas as to how I can make this work?
Regards

Classic ASP - "ORA-01722: invalid number" using OraOLEDB.Oracle driver

I am working on doing some maintenance updates to a Classic ASP website, and I need to be able to run an insert/update statement for putting values into a lookup table. I am currently running into an "ORA-01722: invalid number" error when trying to use ADO and bind variables for my insert statement.
Below is an example of a table that I am having problems with:
CREATE TABLE "MATMGR"."TEST_SWING_TABLE"
(     "TABLE1_ID" NUMBER(4,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "TABLE2_ID" NUMBER(4,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     CONSTRAINT "TEST_SWING_TABLE_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("TABLE1_ID", "TABLE2_ID")
USING INDEX PCTFREE 10 INITRANS 2 MAXTRANS 255
STORAGE(INITIAL 65536 NEXT 1048576 MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS 2147483645

PCTINCREASE 0 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT)
TABLESPACE "USERS" ;
Here is some snippet code of the basic functionality I am trying to get to work:
''START CODE''
Dim connDb, cmdDoseInsert
Set connDb = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
connDb.CursorLocation = adUseClient ' Setup to return RecordSet
connDb.ConnectionString = "Provider=OraOLEDB.Oracle;Data Source={host};User ID={user id};Password={password}"
connDb.Open()
Set cmdDoseInsert = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.command")
Set cmdDoseInsert.ActiveConnection = connDb
cmdDoseInsert.CommandType = adCmdText
cmdDoseInsert.NamedParameters = true ' Set the command object to use named parameters
cmdDoseInsert.Prepared = true
cmdDoseInsert.CommandTimeout = 0
cmdDoseInsert.CommandText = "INSERT INTO TEST_SWING_TABLE (TABLE1_ID, TABLE2_ID) VALUES (:P_TABLE1_ID, :P_TABLE2_ID)"
cmdDoseInsert.Prepared = true
cmdDoseInsert.Parameters.Append cmdDoseInsert.CreateParameter("P_TABLE1_ID", adNumeric, adParamInput)
cmdDoseInsert.Parameters.Append cmdDoseInsert.CreateParameter("P_TABLE2_ID", adNumeric, adParamInput)
'... START: While Looping
     cmdDoseInsert.Parameters(0).Value = {some numeric value}
     cmdDoseInsert.Parameters(1).Value = {some numeric value}
     cmdDoseInsert.Execute
'... END: Looping
''END CODE''
What I have been able to find out so far is that there is some type of issue with numeric values getting translated right when sending two and retrieving from Oracle in ASP. So, does anyone have any thoughts on how to resolve this as I would like to use parameterized SQL to improve application performance?
I am connecting to a developmental server running Oracle 9.2

Ok, in my slightly larger example I found out that for what ever reason my named parameters are not being enforced, and so I had to make sure that the parameters were in the same order as they appeared in the SQL. To be on the save side, I did this when they were added as well as when I was assigning values to them.
Can anyone tell me if this is an Oracle issue or a ASP issue?

This error occurs when you try to create a materialized view , but if you run the sql the results are perfectly fine. Well it happend to me also and to fix this I made sure all the coulmns have the same data type which are used in joins or in where clause.
use
where
to_number(col1)=to_number(col2) and to_number(col3)=to_number(col4)
hope this helps..

How to determine offending column in ORA-01722: invalid number error ...

When an error like
ORA-01722: invalid number error
occurs and you are dealing with many columns that could be the 'culprit', does anyone have a method by which
you can quickly determine offending column?

SQL PLus will tell you:
SQL> create table t
2 (col1 number
3 ,col2 number
4 ,col3 number
5 ,col4 number
6 ,col5 number
7 );
Table created.
SQL> create table x
2 (col1 varchar2(10)
3 ,col2 varchar2(10)
4 ,col3 varchar2(10)
5 ,col4 varchar2(10)
6 ,col5 varchar2(10)
7 );
Table created.
SQL> insert into x values ('1','2','x','4','5');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into t(col1,col2,col3,col4,col5)
2 select col1,col2,col3,col4,col5 from x;
select col1,col2,col3,col4,col5 from x
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-01722: invalid numberAnd if you rearrange your sql like this, sql plus will give you the line number of the offending column:
SQL> insert into t
2 (col1
3 ,col2
4 ,col3
5 ,col4
6 ,col5
7 )
8 select col1
9        ,col2
