ORA-1459 INVALID LENGTH FOR VARIABLE CHARACTER STR

HI Guys,
Developers in my team are facing this problem.
I thought this error is not related to database. IS it?\
Can you please provide me with any details on this error.
Thanks
Vijay

ORA-01458: invalid length inside variable character string

We encountered a serious problem in production system where we were getting this ORA error.
The common search on google results into the following explaination.
Cause: An attempt was made to bind or define a variable character string with a buffer length less than the minimum requirement.
Action: Increase the buffer size or use a different type.
However on analysis we found that the error was because, the value that was being bound to bind variable was NULL.
This was a new finding for me.
Please share your experiences/views on this.

without any code and data examples this is impossible

ORA-1458: Invalid length inside variable character string

We have created a web application that read and write on an Oracle database with a ODBC connection.
I think that there isn't a code error because I get this error everytime in different phases of the application and because after some time I can be able to execute the operation that have caused the error.
Do you have any idea?
Thanks, Nunzio

Hi
I dont' remenber having this error before.
Mayba the ODBC is the bottleneck. It is possible that the ODBC driver couldn't manage so long string that your data is. Maybe you should transfrom the clob into varchar2 or long varchar.

Error -ORA-01483: invalid length for DATE or NUMBER bind variable

In discoverer plus, attempt to save a discoverer workbook into the database fails with the error:
ORA-01483 invalid length for DATE or NUMBER bind variable
The same workbook can be safely saved in "My Computer".
Any idea why and what is the solution.

Why: not quite sure, probably the code is validating the workbook when it saves it to the db and you've got an error in the sql. What happens when you run the workbook that you saved to the file system? Does it show the same error when run?
Solution: Can you post the sql in the workbook? In the meantime try the following: Replace any to_char statements around dates with to_date statements instead. For example:
Replace:
where to_char(mydate, 'dd-mon-yyyy') = '05-apr-2009'
With:
where mydate = to_date('05-APR-2009','DD-MON-YYYY')

Dashboard refresh - ORA-24373 invalid length specified for statement

Post Author: Reesy
CA Forum: Performance Management and Dashboards
I am getting the following error message in the log file "ORA-24373: invalid length specified for statement" when trying to refresh a metric via dashboard manager. The metric has been successfully refreshed previously. The only change that I am aware of is that more data has been added to the underlying database (Oracle 10g).
There are a number of different filters on the metric - some work ok - some give the above error.
Can anyone help?
Cheers

Problem with ORA-24372 invalid object for describe

I have unresolved problem with oracle message: ORA-24372 invalid object for describe. There is the client-server application which installed on users PCs. Client application is program on Delphi 7 that installed on several users PCs which works with Oracle DB 10g server (clients on users side 8.1.7) by means ODAC 5.7. Each user by means this application works with data on Oracle server. Each group of users uses its own schema. Each of this schema has grants to select data and execute procs in the main schema. During the time of operation I modified and compiled some procs in the main schema. As the result I found some depended Invalid objects in main schema. I recompiled them. There is no invalid objects in all schemas. But when I starts application in one user place (he uses for example schema X1) I see oracle message: ORA-24372 invalid object for describe. Other users in group which uses schema X1 works without this problem. There is finite aggregate of users of schema Х1 which has this message but some users of schema Х1 has no problem. All users has identical software and there is no any invalid objects in schemas! I try to start application on my PC using schema X1 and finds ORA-24372 then I try to start application on neighbors PC and it is all ok! It happened after I recompiled main schema in the time of users operation. What should I do to resolve this problem? Where to find the source of the problem: in client or in server?

To Mr. Sven Weller
The purpose of creation X1 (X2, Х3…) was restriction of users to access objects in the Main Schema. X1 has no any objects except function that returns her name for internal purposes. X1 has many synonyms for objects in the Main schema. There is no invalid objects in X1!

Report failed to parse SQL query:ORA-01745: invalid host/bind variable name

Hi,
We are currently upgrading from v2.2.0.00.32 to v4.0.0.00.46.
I have copied the applications onto our test server along with the various database objects and data etc.
When I am running a report in v4, it is failing with the following error: "failed to parse SQL query: ORA-01745: invalid host/bind variable name".
When I copy the SQL that builds the report into TOAD (on out test server) it runs OK so really cant see why it would fail in APEX. It works fine when I run the query in our APEX v2 and in TOAD in our live server.
The query is as follows:
SELECT
aea.ALTERATION_ID
,aea.ALTERATION_ID "ALTERATION_ID_DISPLAY"
,aea.assembly_name "Revised BOM"
,assembly.description "Revised BOM Description"
,assembly.INVENTORY_ITEM_STATUS_CODE "Revised BOM Status"
,aea.BEFORE_CHANGE_QTY
,flv.MEANING "Alteration Type"
,aea.component_name "Part No"

ANy help would be great,

For some reason, the updatable fields (this is a updateable report) where not connecting to the database properly. Whn I changed them to a report columns and removed the database field reference, the report rendered

ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION when logging in from client

Hi,
I am a junior dba and I was hoping if someone could help me out with a problem I am having. I recently installed on oracle 10g client on my windows machine. I am trying to remote connect to my database on a unix box but I am getting the below error when trying to connect from the client.
ERROR:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION
I've done some digging around on this and I think it might be something to do with the NLS_LANG setting maybe. I'm not sure though and to be honest I'm a bit lost on this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers.
Rgs,
Rob

Error ORA-02248 invalid option for ALTER SESSION

Hi All,
I'm using windows vista.I have installed oracle database 11g.Now, SQL Developer is working fine in this.I gave the sid as orcl and gave my username and password in sqldeveloper and it works.
But the host string is not working in forms and sql plus.How do i know which host string i should give??I came to know that the tnsnames.ora which is present in the oracle home directory should be copied to forms directory also.I did that too but still forms,reprorts and sql plus are not working.I get two errors namely ORA-02248 invalid option for ALTER SESSION and TNS could not resolve service name .Pls suggest how to proceed.Thanks in advance....
Regards,
Gowtham

Unfortunately you forgot to mention forms/reports version. Currently only one Developer Suite version is certified on Vista running 11g,don't ignore software/hardware requirements.
It's 10.1.2.0.2 and that package requires additionally patch 6153263.

How to resolve error ORA-29491: invalid table for chunking?

Hello,
I'm trying to implement DBMS_PARALLEL_EXECUTE to speed up a huge update I need to do. I'm stuck on a problem with the table I'm using to test my procedure. Here's a simple test that produces the same error. As best I can tell, the table I'm declaring here is missing some kind of requirement that lets DBMS_PARALLEL_EXECUTE make use of it, but the docs and searching for the error code haven't turned up any useful discussions. Please help.
drop table owner.why_cant_i_hold;
create table owner.why_cant_i_hold (
things VARCHAR2 (64),
amount INT,
CONSTRAINT why_cant_i_pk PRIMARY KEY (things)
insert into why_cant_i_hold values ('limes', 8);
insert into why_cant_i_hold values ('lemons', 8);
insert into why_cant_i_hold values ('watermelons', 5);
insert into why_cant_i_hold values ('cats', 4);
insert into why_cant_i_hold values ('teacups',10);
insert into why_cant_i_hold values ('mugs', 5);
insert into why_cant_i_hold values ('eggs', 15);
insert into why_cant_i_hold values ('jobs', 3);
commit;
-- got tasks?
COLUMN task_name FORMAT A10
SELECT task_name,
status
FROM user_parallel_execute_tasks;
--exec DBMS_PARALLEL_EXECUTE.CREATE_TASK('holding');
exec DBMS_PARALLEL_EXECUTE.CREATE_CHUNKS_BY_ROWID('holding', 'ODDEV03', 'why_cant_i_hold', true, 3);
It seems like a really simple case here. The output is all successful until
"Error starting at line 25 in command:
exec DBMS_PARALLEL_EXECUTE.CREATE_CHUNKS_BY_ROWID('holding', 'owner', 'why_cant_i_hold', true, 3);
Error report:
ORA-29491: invalid table for chunking
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_PARALLEL_EXECUTE", line 27
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_PARALLEL_EXECUTE", line 121
ORA-06512: at line 1"

Oh. This was an easy one, table names are never really lower-case. Changing the value in my chunking call fixed the simple test:
exec DBMS_PARALLEL_EXECUTE.CREATE_CHUNKS_BY_ROWID('holding', 'ODDEV03', 'WHY_CANT_I_HOLD', true, 3);
It doesn't help with why my more complicated test case isn't working, but I have details to check before I ask again.
EDIT: lesson learned... 'invalid table' doesn't mean the database can find the table you are talking about at all. I hope that's a help.

ORA-03217: invalid option for alter of TEMPORARY TABLESPACE

Hi all
I have a database with 300 Users approximantely.
Suddenly I was reported about slowly connection and looked to my database. And I saw that Temporary tablespace with name MUVTEMP is 0% used and in it there is no .dbf file
Then I do ls on my data files directory and saw there MUVTEMP01.dbf!
But it's not using it. Then I want to add another .dbf file. It created this file physically but not joined it to my temporary tablespace.
Then I did it with Oracle EM, clicked on "Show SQL" and there was written
ALTER TABLESPACE "MUVTEMP"
ADD
DATAFILE '/home/oracle/OraHome1/oradata/linux/test.dbf' SIZE
5M
I run it from EM it gave this error
ORA-03217: invalid option for alter of TEMPORARY TABLESPACE
Then I run this SQL in sqlplus
ALTER TABLESPACE "MUVTEMP"
ADD
TEMPFILE '/home/oracle/OraHome1/oradata/linux/test.dbf' SIZE
5M
it created file physically, but I can't see this file as temporary tablespace's file. It's not using....
Where is my mistake???
Thanks...

"ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION" -- Urgent request

Hi All,
We use Discoverer 3.1.36.06 and are in middle of a 3i to 10g upgrade for Discoverer for a data warehouse setup. Our databases where upgraded to 10g from 9i and now we get the error message saying:
"ORA-02248: invalid option for ALTER SESSION"
I got some very helpful info abt the prob from the link below.
Discoverer 3i Issue with 10.2.0.3 - ORA-02248
We are mid way through the 3i to 10g upgrade and just need a quick fix for the next 2-3 weeks while the upgrade is finished.
Does any one know if changing the NLS language and applying the post longon trigger on Database id's would help in resolving this connection issue temporarily.
Any advice is deeply appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
There are two types of trigger you can use: database triggers and discoverer triggers. You probably want to use a database trigger.
If you are using an APPS mode EUL (ie. logging using Applications username/passwords) then you will be logging in as the APPS database user and the syntax is:
create or replace trigger APPS.disco_logon_trigger after logon ON APPS.SCHEMA
begin dbms_session.set_nls('nls_date_format', '''DD-MON-YYYY'''); end;
If it is a database EUL and the database user is gl_inq then the syntax would be
create or replace trigger gl_inq.disco_logon_trigger after logon ON gl_inq.SCHEMA
begin dbms_session.set_nls('nls_date_format', '''DD-MON-YYYY'''); end;
