Ora-01858 a non numeric found where numeric was found

Hello All,
When I am trying to query a view i am getting the follwoing error.
ora-01858 a non numeric found where numeric was found
When checked in all_objects the view status is showing as VALLID.
Please let me know how do we come over this error.
Kind Regards.

I can think of two options:
1-Create the view with the same datatype as the underlying column, then in your application handle the logic of conversion
2-Keep the view with the same datatypes, but use a function that takes the value in the column as IN paramter and returns the date. Add exception handling to ignore the exception when a non-date value is encoutered
Regards

  • Error while pulling data from an Oracle database. ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected

    I'm trying to pull data from an Oracle database using SSIS. When I try to select a few fields from the source table, it returns the following error message:
        [OLE DB Source [47]] Error: SSIS Error Code DTS_E_OLEDBERROR.  An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80040E14.
        An OLE DB record is available.  Source: "OraOLEDB"  Hresult: 0x80040E14  Description: "ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected".

    The source columns are a combination of numeric and texts, and I've also tried selecting one of them, which didn't work. I'm using the Oracle client 11.2.0.1, and it works fine with any other data sources I have connected to so far. How can I resolve this
    error?

    Hi H.James,
    According to your description, the issue is a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected while pulling data from an Oracle database in SSIS.
    Based on the error message, the issue should be you are comparing a number column to a non-number column in a query. Such as the query below (ConfID is a number, Sdate is a date):
     where C.ConfID in (select C.Sdate
                       from Conference_C C
                       where C.Sdate < '1-July-12')
    Besides, a default behavior for the Oracle OleDb Provider that change the NLS Date Format of the session to 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS can also cause the issue. For more details about this issue, please refer to the following blog:

  • ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected

    hi ,
    This was the code which shows the sales rep invoice amount and collected amount but while running report thru concurrent program its showing the following error:
    ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
    WHERE TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( PS.GL_DATE , 'DD/MON/YY' ) , 'MON-YYYY' ) BETWEEN TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( : ==> P_todate , 'YYYY/MM/DD' ) , 'MON-YYYY' ) AND TO_CHAR ( TO_DATE ( : P_todate , 'YYYY/MM/DD' ) , 'MON-YYYY' ) AND ps.customer_id = cust.custome

    So to_date function accepts a string as input and returns a date. When a date is input instead, it is implicity converted to the required type of the function paremeter, which is a string, so that to_date can convert it back to a date again.
    If you are lucky with the implicit conversion, you get the same date back, if you are not you might get a different date or an error.
    From your query it appears that this conversion from a date, to a string, to a date, and then back to a string using to_char this time, is being done to remove the time or day part of the date. The actual range comparison is being done on strings rather than dates, which is dangerous as strings sort differently than dates.
    In this example if I sort by date, Jan 01 comes between Dec 00 and Feb 01 as you would expect.
    SQL> select * from t order by d;
    D
    12-01-2000
    01-01-2001
    02-01-2001When converted to strings, Feb 01 comes between Dec 00 and Jan 01, which is probably not the desired result
    SQL> select * from t order by to_char(d,'DD-MON-YY');
    D
    12-01-2000
    02-01-2001
    01-01-2001If you want to remove time and day parts of dates you should use the trunc function
    trunc(d) removes the time, trunc(d,'mm') will remove the days to start of month.

  • ORA-01858: a non-numeric character found where a digit was expected

    Hi,
    I'll cut introductions short. We're trying to read data from a flat file (OWB ver.9.2. by the way). After successfully mapping, then generating (with two insignificant warnings), we execute.
    Although it says the execution was 'successful', more than a dozen errors return in the form of ORA-01858: a non-numeric character found where a digit was expected
    a - Here is the error:
    Record 1: Rejected - Error on table "TOPSSTAGE"."FLTR_DCS_IRREG", column "OPERATIVE_FLIGHT_LEG_DATE".
    ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
    *it's actually repeated 20 times (Record 1, Record 2, and so on and so forth...) with the same exact error description and details.
    b - Here's the part of the OWB-generated script that defines the creation of that field/column:
    "OPERATIVE_FLIGHT_LEG_DATE" DATE "mm/dd/yyyy"
    c - And here's the data from the flat file (1 of 4 rows)
    "2/20/2007","I","0899","N","TPE","MNL","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","750","950","746","955"," P3231",,"04","32","32",,,,,,,,"758","946",,"A000","4","D000","5","000","0","0","0","0","D","P","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","2/22/2007","000","012","144","2/20/2007","2/20/2007"
    *the part where it is in bold is the one that is mapped from the column OPERATIVE_FLIGHT_LEG_DATE to the OPERATIVE_FLIGHT_LEG_DATE column (flat to physical, right?)
    it is set as DATE in all settings (mapping, file, etc..)
    Any form of help will be greatly appreciated :)
    Thanks!

    Hi Bharadwaj,
    Yes, I believe you are right. And yes that column is designated a primary key. The weird thing is, we do have null values being entered into the table from the flat file, but these values are far from the "OPERATIVE_FLIGHT_LEG_DATE" column (index-wise). Let me give you an example of our case:
    this is a row in the flat file: (sample data only)
    "2/20/2007","I","0899","N","TPE","MNL","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","750","950","746","955"," P3231",,"04","32","32",,,,,,,,"758","946",,"A000","4","D000","5","000","0","0","0","0","D","P","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","0","2/22/2007","000","012","144","2/20/2007","2/20/2007"
    as you can see, I've made the 'null' values bold, as well as the data for OPERATIVE_FLIGHT_LEG_DATE (which shows up, as you can see, at the end of the row).
    Now, in the OWB table, the OPERATIVE_FLIGHT_LEG_DATE column is set as a primary key (or foreign, i think, I'll check again) and, thus, is set as one of those columns to first receive data transferred from the flat file.
    We see nothing wrong with our mask (which is mm/dd/yyyy by the way) as well as with our data type settings. It has to be with the flat file I guess. We're gonna try putting in dummy values in place of the null ones in the flat file. I'll get back to you asap. Thanks for helping out. :D

    Hi Deepak,
    I would first look at your session state, this should show what was passed to the procedure.
    I would suggest that if you have a select list showing a null value that that would be the issue as it passes %null% through.

  • PL/SQL Function Returning Query Error / ORA-01858: a non-numeric char.....

    Hi Bob,
    you also have another date to character to date conversion in:
    decode( start_date, ''' || date_tbl(i) || ''', cnt,0)
    does this need to be:

    If you set up your phone correctly, it is still protected by the Activation Lock and can be used without knowing your AppleID and password.
    Here are some more things about that:
    What if your iOS device is off or offline?
    If your missing device is off or offline, you can still put it in Lost Mode, lock it, or remotely erase it. The next time your device is online, these actions will take effect. If you remove the device from your account while it's offline, any pending actions for the device will be cancelled.
    How do you turn off or cancel Lost Mode?
    You can turn off Lost Mode by entering the passcode on your device. You can also turn off Lost Mode on iCloud.com or from the Find My iPhone app.

  • While usimng tiled tabs opening a link opens 4 more tiled tabs instead of just opening the link in the tile where it was found

    I am set up to use a default layout of four tiles in Firefox 16.0.2 (OSX 10.8.2) so that I can look at four separate web pages at once. This is really handy; however, it does not work consistently. Sometimes when I open a link, the link opens within the tile, which is what I prefer. Then I just use the "home" function or the "back" function to get back to the original tile.
    On the other hand, sometimes opening a link spawns another complete four-tile layout.....and another link within one of those tiles might spawn yet another 4-tile layout. Can I configure Firefox so that links only open within the tile? If so I can't figure out how.
    Also.......saving the 4-tile layout does not seem to remember the four separate four links. If I have to reload my saved layout I simply get 4 tiles of the home page.
    If I can't, then my suggestion is that Firefox be "improved" to do that because having multiple 4-tile screens gets messy real quick.

    Sounds that you are using the Tile Tabs extension and that the extension isn't working properly is all case.<br />
    In such a case you need to contact the developer for support.
    There are also a lot of directions on the extensions page:

  • A non-numeric character was found ...  iAS 8 & ora 8.1.6

    I have a problem in iAS 8 and Oracle 8.1.6 under windows 2000.
    The problem is calling nested packages using plql gateway, I
    mean I call one package and it call's another package, this
    operation throws " a non-numeric character was found where a
    numeric was expected" even if the procedure only has one
    parameter, if you call nested procedures there are no errors, I
    had the same problem on Solaris, however changed databases and
    it dissapear, I thought that the problem was some
    NLS_PARAMETERS however now I'm not pretty sure.
    Any Ideas.

    hello
    pls use to_date
    If your session is set to default date format of DD-MON-YY, execute the following and you will receive the error message:
    SQL> select to_date('20-JAN-2010', 'DD-MM-YYYY') from dual;
    ERROR:
    ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
    no rows selected
    When you are converting a string to a date, you have specified that the date is being passed in DD-MM-YYYY format. But you have passed the date in DD-MON-YYYY format. As the month is expected as a number by oracle, but you have passed a character, oracle is unable to translate the string to a number.
    Do one of the following:
    SQL> select to_date('20-JAN-2010', 'DD-MON-YYYY') from dual
    2 /
    TO_DATE
    20-JAN-2010
    OR
    SQL> select to_date('20-10-2010', 'DD-MM-YYYY') from dual
    2 /
    TO_DATE

    hello
    pls use to_date
    If your session is set to default date format of DD-MON-YY, execute the following and you will receive the error message:
    SQL> select to_date('20-JAN-2010', 'DD-MM-YYYY') from dual;
    ERROR:
    ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
    no rows selected
    When you are converting a string to a date, you have specified that the date is being passed in DD-MM-YYYY format. But you have passed the date in DD-MON-YYYY format. As the month is expected as a number by oracle, but you have passed a character, oracle is unable to translate the string to a number.
    Do one of the following:
    SQL> select to_date('20-JAN-2010', 'DD-MON-YYYY') from dual
    2 /
    TO_DATE
    20-JAN-2010
    OR
    SQL> select to_date('20-10-2010', 'DD-MM-YYYY') from dual
    2 /
    TO_DATE
    20-JAN-2010
    or you can use alter sessin set nls_date_format='.....................';

  • ORA-01858 error in Application but not in sqlpluss

    Hi.
    I have this query that runs nicely in sqlpluss and the SQL Commands that came with Expressedition 10g, but when I put it in a report region it produce:
    report error:

    query:
    SELECT temae.temae, NVL(antall,0) Antall
    FROM temae LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT temae, count(temae) as antall

    GROUP BY temae) p
    ON temae.id = p.temae
    where antall > 0
    ORDER BY NVL(antall,0) DESC, temae.type, temae.temae
    Before I added the decode part for the date it looked like this, and worked nice in the application:
    SELECT temae.temae, NVL(antall,0) Antall
    FROM temae LEFT OUTER JOIN (SELECT temae, count(temae) as antall
    FROM okeiko
    WHERE person = :P3_PERSON and dag > to_date('30-apr-06','dd-mon-yy')
    GROUP BY temae) p
    ON temae.id = p.temae
    where antall > 0
    ORDER BY NVL(antall,0) DESC, temae.type, temae.temae
    This is the data structure
    SQL> describe temae
    Name Null? Type
    ID NOT NULL NUMBER
    TEMAE VARCHAR2(20)
    TYPE NUMBER
    Then it worked nicely in the application to.
    SQL> describe okeiko;
    Name Null? Type
    ID NOT NULL NUMBER
    PERSON NOT NULL NUMBER
    TEMAE NOT NULL NUMBER
    SENSEI NUMBER
    REMARK VARCHAR2(4000)
    DAG NOT NULL DATE
    Can anyone se why application is complaining?
    BTW report region also complains to_date('01-may-06','dd-mon-yy') does not have a valid month.

  • Oracle error - ociexecute(): OCIStmtExecute: ORA-01858

    Using PHP 4.3.11 on Linux and ADODB data abstraction library.
    Oracle client version is 10.1.
    Can sucessfully connect to remote database (version 9.2.0.6 NLS_LANG AL32UTF8).
    When doing a simple select from a view:
    select RTS_LOAD from VW_R_PROJECTED_LOAD_OUTPUT
    I get the error message:
    ociexecute(): OCIStmtExecute: ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected in /opt/devftp/var/www/php/adodb/461/drivers/adodb-oci8.inc.php on line 942
    1858: ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
    If in my PHP script I directly query the underlying table that this Oracle view is based on, I have no problem.
    Using SQLPlus on the web server I don't have any problems at all selecting from the view, it is definitely a valid view.
    Any clues? If so please email as well as posting response here.

    Hi !
    I think Your view has to_date function in its definition, and this to_date is called without second parameter: date format. Probably NLS_DATE_FORMAT is set to different values in SQL*Plus and PHP environment. You can check it out by running
    select * from v$nls_parameters;
    in SQL*Plus and in PHP.
    If there are two different values You should modify view to use to_date in form: to_date(some_date_string, ‘poroper_date_format’)

  • National Language Support and Error ORA-01858

    Hi,
    I have a problem using NLS.
    When I use NLS for Italian,I become the error ORA-01858 -->
    "a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was
    expected".
    But with the same query I use for NLS_Italian,it works with
    NLS_German and NLS_English.
    I use this date-formats "DD.Month YYYY" , "DD.MM.YYYY", "DD.MM"
    For example:
    Select to_char(sd.Datum,'DD.Month YYYY') Datum ,
    sd.FONDSVERMOEGEN, sd.AKTIEN, sd.KASSE, sd.RENTEN,sd.FUTURES,
