ORA-01858 Convert datetime via Import

I have tried many format masks to convert a SYBASE datetime to Oracle by using (to_timestamp(field1,'Mon dd yyyy hh:mi:ss:ff3AM')). Can someone give me the correct format.
Thank you,
Vito Addotta.

Hi HarshDhami,
That error is an Oracle error, not a SQL Server error. That indicates Date Time Parameter is not a valid date.
About Oracle TO_DATE function
Below shows the TO_DATE function along with the arguments it takes:
to_date(string)
to_date(string, date_format)
to_date(string, date_format, options)
Please also try the following code,
select * from work_table where created_date beween to_date('9/18/2015','MM/DD/YYYY') and to_date('03/29/2015','MM/DD/YYYY')
Actually, your case related to Oracle, if you still cannot resolve, please consider to post in their official site. Thanks for your understanding.

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:

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 error from Apex Report on working/valid underlying query

This view works, ie produces the right results when run (ie select * from ...) in SQL Developer and in the SQL Workshop section of Apex.
But when I attempt to produce an Apex report using it as the source of data, I get the following error:
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
The error is displayed before any part of the report itself is displayed, ie the Region Header is displayed and then the error message.
So far, anything I've been able to find on the forums or AskTom suggests that it is probably due to a date conversion problem. But the aim here is to summarise dated records by month, so I'm extracted the year and month elements of the date values, converting them to strings (using TO_CHAR), and then using the resulting 'Mon-YY' strings to group the results.
If there is a better way, I'm interested.
But I don't understand why Apex seems to be rejecting what appear to be valid results from a valid working query.
Any ideas? Suggestions?
Cheers,
Peter

Thanks again, Flavio. I'm learning and I appreciate your patience.
The solution you provided is very similar to the one I came up with after your previous message, but I didn't have the NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE parameter. I'll go back and try it.
I appreciate your explanation re Apex not needing to know and Oracle assuming that the client knows what it is doing, but it puzzles me more.
The way that I originally had things, I think, was consistent with what you have explained, but it didn't work. To make it clear:
1 I had an Oracle view that had no parameters and contained the date literal in the where clause and worked fine in both SQL Developer and in the Apex SQL Workshop.
2 The view did not return any date values. Aside from the column headings and the first column (of character strings), the body of the table comprised integer values only.
3 So, when Apex called the view, I would have expected the Oracle server to independently execute the view and return the (dateless) results to Apex, which would then present the unmodified results in a standard report. This is, I think, what SQL Developer and the Apex SQL Workshop appear to have successfully done.
My expectation seems to be consistent with at least some of your explanation (ie [Oracle assumes] "+that the client knows what it is doing+" and "+apex doesn't need to know anything about the underlying query+"), but is not consistent with actual experience, where Apex seems to know that the underlying query contains a date literal and unsuccessfully (and unnecessarily) attempts to interpret it.
I'm obviously missing something about how Apex and Oracle interact in this situation. While I don't need to know - as I have a working solution now - it is valuable to understand how things work. Makes life easier and more productive.
Cheers,
Peter

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".
    An OLE DB record is available. Source: "OraOLEDB" Hresult: 0x80004005 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 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:
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
query:
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(DECODE(SIGN(to_char(current_date,'mm')-5),
-1, to_date('01-NOV-'||to_char(current_date,'yy'))-365,
0, to_date('01-MAY-'||to_char(current_date,'yy')),
1, DECODE(SIGN(to_char(current_date,'mm')-10),
-1,to_date('01-MAY-'||to_char(current_date,'yy')),
0,to_date('01-MAY-'||to_char(current_date,'yy')),
1,to_date('01-NOV-'||to_char(current_date,'yy')))),'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
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.

Marius,

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)

Hi,
I have a problem using NLS.
When I use NLS for Italian,I become the error ORA-01858 -->

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:

where sd.match=fd.match and sd.match=amfcomm .
Can somebody help me??

Can you tell us what the value of sd.Datum is in the queries?

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,
sd.WERTPAPIERE, sd.IMMOBILIEN,
sd.KUPON, sd.DURCHSCHNITT_RENDITE, sd.DURCHSCHNITT_RL from
Strukturdaten sd,fondsdaten_allgemein fd
where sd.match=fd.match and sd.match=amfcomm .
Can somebody help me??

Can you tell us what the value of sd.Datum is in the queries?

Lession 3 oca sql fundamental doubts on ora -01858 error

SELECT last_name, hire_date
   FROM   employees
   WHERE hire_date = TO_DATE('May 24, 1999', 'fxMonth DD, YYYY');
   books mention it will leave a error (ora-01858 which is an non-numeric error )but the statement running perfectly while
by deleting that "fx"-prefix gives an error called ora-01861.
i am confused here??can anyone show me the right way?

Hi,
The outcome depends on your NLS settings. Probably yours are set to something different than AMERICAN. In you language the month of May may then have a different number of characters(?)
That's why you hit the ORA-01861 with the FX Format Model, and something else without. (Can't see why you should get ORA-01858, though)

Handling ORA-01858 error

hi every body,
How can i handle exception ora-01858 without
using when others then null;
I want something
like
when user_definded =ora-01858 then null;
when others then
v_ErrorNumber := SQLCODE;
v_ErrorText := SUBSTR(SQLERRM, 1, 2000);

in fact ,
I use a procadure that insert values into a table.
I want that when it reaches an ORA-01858 , then the error is ignored and continue
to insert others values,
but now , when I reach error it stops, how to deal with it ?

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!

_lilim

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

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

I'm trying to write a PL/SQL function to dynamically return a query with varying # of columns. I've done this type of thing before wiith much success, however this is the first time I'm using a cursor for loop within a function to accomplish my task.
here is the error I get:
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
Error ERR-1101 Unable to process function body returning query.
Mind you I have tested the PL/SQL from a SQL editor and it works fine. I'm confused.
Code is below.
Thanks in advance!
DECLARE
my_query varchar2(4000);
string1 varchar2(50) := 'select city, ';
string2 varchar2(4000) := '' ;
string3 varchar2(4000):= 'from
( select a.title, a.city, a.start_date, sum(a.total_stu) cnt
from sj_class_summary3 a
group by a.title, a.city, a.start_date
having a.title = :P4_COURSE )
group by title, city';
TYPE date_tab_type IS TABLE OF date INDEX BY PLS_INTEGER;
date_tbl date_tab_type;
i number;
BEGIN
i:=1;
for myrec in (select distinct start_date from sj_class_summary3
where start_date between :P4_START_DATE and :P4_END_DATE order by 1) loop
date_tbl(i) := myrec.start_date;
string2 := string2 || ' max( decode( start_date, ''' || date_tbl(i) || ''', cnt,0) ) "' || date_tbl(i) || '", ';
i := i+ 1;
end loop;
string2 := SUBSTR(string2,1,LENGTH(string2)-2);
string2 := string2 || ' ';
my_query := string1 || string2 || string3;
return my_query;
END;

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:
decode( start_date, to_date(''' || to_char(date_tbl(i), 'dd/mm/yyyy') || ''', ''dd/mm/yyyy''), cnt,0)
