ORA-01722 when upgrading

Hi,
on Win 2003 I'm updating a 10.2.0.1 to 11g using Database upgrade assistant (start/program/ora 11g /...) and it fails with ORA-01722. I looked at logs and found in C:\app\Administrateur\cfgtoollogs\dbua\orcl\upgrade2\Oracle_Server.log:
The following statement will cause an "ORA-01722: invalid number"
DOC> error if the user running this script is not SYS. Disconnect
DOC> and reconnect with AS SYSDBA.It is suggested then to connect as sysdba. How can I connect as sysdba when I'm running upgrade assistant in windows ? Has it any sens this solution ? Even if you start dbua in command line you can not be sys as sysdba since you are windows user (in my case Windows Administrator) ?
Thanks for help.

Hi...
have you started the database with upgrade option???

ORA-01722 when opening a package in SQL Developer 1.2 with oracle 9iR1

Hi,
I use SQL Developer with Oracle Database 9i release 1.
When I open a package in SQL Developer 1.2 (or 1.5) for editing, I receive the error ORA-01722. The package successfully opens but this message, which pops everytime, is really annoying.
I monitored the requests sent by SQL Developer and it seems that the following request is responsible of the error :
SELECT LINE,POSITION,TEXT,ATTRIBUTE FROM USER_ERRORS WHERE TYPE=:1AND NAME=:2
Notice there are no spaces between ':1' and 'AND'. When executing 'by hand' the request with SQL Developer, it asks for the value of '1AND' bind variable and the value of '2'. Then, it fails to execute with... ORA-01722.
Is it possible to avoid this bug ?
Thank you for your help.

We're doing rolling 2 week releases until production. Expect something new next week.

ORA-00955 when upgrading from Content Server 5.0.2 to Publisher?

I am upgrading Content Server 5.0.2 to Publisher.
After running the sw installation and having imported the publisher.pte file, I am starting the Publisher and receiving an Oracle error "ORA-00955: name is already used by an existing object". From the messages logged, it looks like the error is encountered when recreating the object PCSACTIVE.PK_PCSACTIVE (first SQL statement with "Recreating ...", all others before where "Adding ...".
My questions:
1. has somebody else encounteered the same error?
2. does anybody know how to trap the SQL being executed?As the upgrade is done automatically by the Publisher when starting, I have found so far no way of checking the SQL or knowing which SQL statements are executed against the DB) when "Recreating" an object.
Thanks in advance for your help.
P.S. Customer Support has also been contacted, but it looks like noone else has reported this kind of problems.

ORA-01722 when executing a procedure

I am executing a procedure in a package thru a nightly database job. This job has been working fine for the last several months. However recently it started abending with a ORA-01722 error. No changes have been made to the code. The procedure code follows:
PROCEDURE p_start_batch_merge_sites IS

One call in this procedure passing 2 number fields works ok:

The call that is abending is passing the same 2 number fields as the above call, plus a varchar2 name field.

ORA-01722: invalid number
Cause: The attempted conversion of a character string to a number failed because the character string was not a valid numeric literal. Only numeric fields or character fields containing numeric data may be used in arithmetic functions or expressions. Only numeric fields may be added to or subtracted from dates.
Action: Check the character strings in the function or expression. Check that they contain only numbers, a sign, a decimal point, and the character "E" or "e" and retry the operation.
Maybe you have bad data?

ORA-29958 when upgrading 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.1 on Solaris 10 using DBUA

Hello,
We are working in our test environment on our upgrade process from 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.1. I have cloned a copy of our Production database to support this effort. During the upgrade process using DBUA, we consistently receive an error. The error is encountered when DBUA is at 79% and the exact error information is:
ORA-29958: fatal error occurred in the execution of ODCIINDEXCREATE routine
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SQL", line 1053
ORA-06512: at line 6
I'm given the option to Ignore or Abort in DBUA.
From the upgrade log file the error is the same:

I've gone through metalink, google and some listservs that are particular to my industry and have tried many ways to solve this but still haven't been able to overcome this problem.
Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this?

Thank you for the warm welcome as well as your response Srini :-) I have entered an SR with Oracle but to date they haven't been able to help so I thought I would try the community to see if anyone else has seen this problem.

ORA-12547 when upgrade database (from 10.1.0.4 to 10.2.0.4) using dbua

Hi,
I got error when doing the database upgrade using dbua from 10.2.0.4 home.
It is in 15% progress of "Upgrading Oracle Server". It shows ORA-12547: TNS: lost contact.
You can either ignore or abort.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

You can almost never ignore an error message ... unless you want a failure.
Did you read the upgrade instructions with respect to the database, listener, and oem dbconsole?

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.

Subquery, TO_NUMBER and ORA-01722 invalid number

I'm running into a invalid number error (ORA-01722) when I expect none.
I have a table that stores a semester term as a VARCHAR2, all term codes are actually numbers like 200609. There is one exception which I filter out, using a subquery, to prevent the invalid number error.
My query looks like this:
SELECT NVL(SUM(s.balance))
FROM (SELECT s1.term, s1.balance
FROM student_account s1
WHERE s1.student_id = :student_id
AND s1.term <> 'SCRIPT') s
WHERE TO_NUMBER(s.term) <= 200609;
The query errors with ORA-01722.
Now I've checked and rechecked that there isn't another bad term that is not a number.
SELECT DISTINCT '[' || term || ']'
FROM student_account
WHERE student_id = :student_id;
The error complains at line of the WHERE clause.
I've ran just the subquery and changed the column list to select distinct term. All terms are numbers. I think that the outer WHERE clause for some reason still gets the 'SCRIPT' term. Though I've tried to verify this with no luck.
I created a function that simply takes the term writes it to DBMS_OUTPUT and returns it as a VARCHAR2. The weird thing is then the query works. For example the outer WHERE clause becomes: WHERE TO_NUMBER(PRINT_TERM(s.term)) <= 200609
I've also tried to move the TO_NUMBER to the subquery without any luck, same error.
Anyone know what is going on?

Oracle is allowed to push predicates into the subquery, so there is no guarantee that the problem row is filtered out before TO_NUMBER is called. You can get into some very interesting discussions about whether this is the right behavior from a relational theory and/or ANSI standard perspective, but you're probably stuck with the behavior (unless you want to get Oracle to rework their optimizer)
One way to get around the problem would be to write a my_to_number function that catches the error and returns NULL if the to_number conversion fails, i.e.
CREATE FUNCTION my_to_number( p_num IN VARCHAR2 )
RETURN NUMBER
IS
l_num number;
BEGIN
l_num := to_number( p_num );
RETURN l_num;
EXCEPTION
WHEN <<Exception whose name escapes me>> THEN
RETURN NULL;
END;And use that in your query.

ORA-01722: Invalid Number error coming on upgrade from 11.2.0.1.0 to 11.2.0.2.0

Hi,
Recently i upgraded the DB from 11.2..0.1.0 to 11.2.0.2.0 after which my queries started giving ORA:01722 error.
The query had a left outer join between two tables based on the 2 column having different data types.
For eg: select * from table_1left outer join table_2 on table_2.column with number data type =
               table_1. column with varchar datatype
This query was working fine on 11.2..0.1.0, but started to give out error after upgrading.

1) the data was same in both the versions of the DB, so i don't think that first point is the reason its misfiring.
2) For the second point if i write my query like below it works correctly in the newer version of DB.
select * from table_1left outer join table_2 on to_char(table_2.column with number data type) =
               table_1. column with varchar datatype
OR
select * from table_1left outer join table_2 on trim(table_2.column with number data type) =
               table_1. column with varchar datatype
3) The nls settings seems to be same for both the versions. I couldn't find any changes.
Thanks

The only hit I have found in (Bug 7120055 : FAILED: FILE JAIRGMSETUPMIG.SQL ON WORKER 1) but it does not tell much, so you may need to log a SR and get more details about this bug.

ORA-01722: invalid number (Error in Application after upgrade to 3.0)

Dear All,
After upgrading to 3.0 I am no longer able to login to my application. The error I am seeing is:
ORA-01722: invalid number
Error Could not process show_hide_memory.show_hide_collection_output procedure !
Please help me pin-point the issue and fixed it.
This happens in some applications but in others it doesn't...
Regards,
Pawel.

I believe I have found the source of the problem!
This is coming from the sample application which was used for the show/hide of regions example.
The code behind the above procedure is:
CREATE OR REPLACE
PACKAGE show_hide_memory AS
PROCEDURE show_hide_collection;
PROCEDURE show_hide_collection_output;
END;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY show_hide_memory AS
PROCEDURE show_hide_collection AS
l_arr apex_application_global.vc_arr2;
l_found boolean := FALSE;
l_collection_name VARCHAR2(255) := 'SHOW_HIDE_COLLECTION';
BEGIN
IF(wwv_flow_collection.collection_exists(p_collection_name => l_collection_name) = FALSE) THEN
htmldb_collection.create_or_truncate_collection(p_collection_name => l_collection_name);
END IF;
l_arr := apex_util.string_to_table(p_string => v('TEMPORARY_ITEM'), p_separator => ']');
-- If the array member count of l_arr < 3, then the following code will raise an exception
FOR c1 IN
(SELECT seq_id
FROM apex_collections
WHERE collection_name = l_collection_name
AND c001 = l_arr(1)
AND c002 = l_arr(2)
AND c003 = l_arr(3))
LOOP
-- It exists, so delete it
apex_collection.delete_member(p_collection_name => l_collection_name, p_seq => c1.seq_id);
l_found := TRUE;
END LOOP;
IF l_found = FALSE THEN
apex_collection.add_member(p_collection_name => l_collection_name, p_c001 => l_arr(1), p_c002 => l_arr(2), p_c003 => l_arr(3));
END IF;
COMMIT;
END show_hide_collection;
PROCEDURE show_hide_collection_output AS
BEGIN
htp.prn('<script type="text/javascript">' || CHR(10));
htp.prn('' || CHR(10));
htp.prn('</script>' || CHR(10));
END show_hide_collection_output;
END;
I guess now I have to find the bug in the above code !

ORA-01722: invalid number error when trying to pass a list of values

Gurus
We are using a function like so
The usage for the function below is
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

ORA-01722 error, when doing a WHERE numcol IN (:P2_LIST_OF_NUMS) statement

Hi,
I'm trying to create a flash pie chart in APEX 3.0 and hit problems which seems to come down to my where clause.
It appears that the :P2_LIST_OF_NUMS is not being converted correctly when I have more than one comma separated value in P2_LIST_OF_NUMS, it works fine with just one number.
Tried this in SQL Developer entering 81,67 as my bind
select sum(trmcnvcnt) from lstcpnsum where cpnidd1 in(&P2_LIST_OF_NUMS);
worked fine
Hard coded my select in APEX
select sum(trmcnvcnt) from lstcpnsum where cpnidd1 in(81,67);
worked fine
But in APEX when I try to do it passing the values from a text field P2_LIST_OF_NUMS that contains 81,67 as
select sum(trmcnvcnt) from lstcpnsum where cpnidd1 in(:P2_LIST_OF_NUMS);
I get the ORA-01722: invalid number error.
Works fine when P2_LIST_OF_NUMS only contains 81.
I thought that the value of P2_LIST_OF_NUMS would just be substitued into the sql statement and then ran.
Have I missed something here?
Thanks
Rich

Rich,
If the context permits it you might be able to specify &P2_LIST_OF_NUMS. (don't forget the period) in your SQL but a bind variable definitely will not work. For a discussion about why that is and some alternate approaches, see: Re: Search on a typed in list of values

ORA-01722: Invalid number when importing .csv file

Hi,
I did not find any information regarding my specific problem until now.
I try to import a *.csv file containing id, double, double, double, double, double (e.g. as a sample line "id_1, 674,6703459157907, 4212,205538937771, 674,6703459158016, 5561,546230769363, 2714,6367797576822") into a table with the following definition:

     "AREA1" BINARY_DOUBLE DEFAULT 0,
     "AREA2" BINARY_DOUBLE DEFAULT 0,
     "AREA3" BINARY_DOUBLE DEFAULT 0,
     "AREA4" BINARY_DOUBLE DEFAULT 0,
     "AREA5" BINARY_DOUBLE DEFAULT 0
) SEGMENT CREATION IMMEDIATE

PCTINCREASE 0 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT FLASH_CACHE DEFAULT CELL_FLASH_CACHE DEFAULT)
TABLESPACE "USERS" ;
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:
java.lang.NullPointerException

     at oracle.dbtools.raptor.data.writers.ImportGenerator$1.doWork(ImportGenerator.java:782)
If I cancel the task, the insert statements are displayed:
SET DEFINE OFF

INSERT INTO BUILDING_SURFACES (ID, AREA1, AREA2, AREA3, AREA4, AREA5) VALUES ('BLDG_0003000b002ea10f','674.6703459157907','4212.205538937771','674.6703459158016','5561.546230769363','2714.6367797576822');
--Zeile 2
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,
Richard
