ORA 920 Relational operator missing

We are in a process of moving data from .txt file to staging table. Earlier we have conducted the same run many times and it was proper and successful. Today we tried the same but it ended in an error saying ORA-920.Relational operator missing.
We checked the colums there was no change in the mapping . It was as it as it was for previous runs.
Could u pls help me out of this.It would be really appreciable.

Error: ORA-00920: invalid relational operator (WWV-16016)

Hi,
When I try to query in the form, I'm getting the following error
An unexpected error occurred: ORA-00920: invalid relational operator (WWV-16016).
The form has a field of type varchar2 with lov attached to it. This error is happening only if I enter characters more than 40 or select a value which has more than 40 characters from the lov.
Anbody had this problem?..Is there a solution for this?..Help would be appreciated.
Thanks
PJ

I figured out the problem and it seems like if the value has any 'IN' or 'BETWEEN' and try to query this error is happening and it's not because of character length. I think Portal assumes that relational operator is entered and tries to query based on those words. Is it a bug in the Portal?..
Thanks
PJ

Case with where clause - ORA-00920: Invalid relational operator

Does anyone know what's wrong with my query? thanks in advance.
SELECT concat (year,period)
FROM DD_ACTUALS_FACT
WHERE CASE Period

The problem is the as "MonthNo" - you can't give an "AS" alias to an expression in a where clause.
You have not actually given any condition, just a set of translations from period into a number.
You also haven't said what you're trying to do.
Perhaps you want:
SELECT concat (year,period)
FROM DD_ACTUALS_FACT
WHERE something
ORDER BY CONCAT (year, CASE Period
WHEN 'JAN' THEN '01'
WHEN 'FEB' THEN '02'
WHEN 'MAR' THEN '03'

Rgds,

Suma,
It looks like what you are trying to do is display a link for the record with the highest value in the Code column, and nothing for the other records.
If that is the case, you can eliminate the function and just use a SQL query like this:
(not tested)
select CASE
          WHEN code = Max(code) over (partition by meckey_fk)
             THEN
               '<a href="#">'
               || ' '
               || '< img class="TargetAlertIcon" src="chrome://targetalert/content/skin/internal.png"></a>'
          ELSE NULL
       END EditAddendum,
       '<a href="#">'
       || ' '
       || '< img class="TargetAlertIcon" src="chrome://targetalert/content/skin/internal.png"></a>' PrintMEC,
       "CODE", "MECKEY_FK", "ADDENDUM", "WHO_CREATED", "WHEN_CREATED"
from "C_ADDENDUMS"
where "MECKEY_FK" = :P60_MECKEYIs that what you're trying to do?

Using regexp_instr in a where clause - invalid relational operator

Whey I try to run this query in TOAD I get an ORA-00920: invalid relational operator error. It's part of a 10g stored procedure. When I highlight it and run it it prompts me for the missing values and then the error pops up. The AND in line 4 is highlighted.
select CRIME_CLASSIFICATION_ID, crime_type, nvl(count(CRIME_CLASSIFICATION_ID),0) as CRIMECNT
From vaps.vw_offenses
    where regexp_instr(valoc,to_char(location_id))
        AND ( fromdate is null or
         offense_date between to_date(fromdate, 'mm/dd/yyyy') AND to_date(todate,'mm/dd/yyyy')
group by crime_classification_id, crime_type

Hi,
Review what REGEXP_INSTR does: it returns a NUMBER.
Your WHERE clause couldn't make any sense if you used any other kind of NUMBER expression in that place, e.g. a NUMBER literal such as 12:
select CRIME_CLASSIFICATION_ID, crime_type, nvl(count(CRIME_CLASSIFICATION_ID),0) as CRIMECNT
From vaps.vw_offenses
    where 12     -- This is obviously wrong
        AND ( fromdate is null or
         offense_date between to_date(fromdate, 'mm/dd/yyyy') AND to_date(todate,'mm/dd/yyyy')
group by crime_classification_id, crime_type
It's not going to work any better with a function (like REGEXP_INSTR) that returns a NUMBER.
How can you fix it? That depends on what you want to do. Why are you calling REGEXP_INSTR? What is that condition checking?
Whenever you have a problem, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) from all tables involved, so that the people who want to help you can re-create the problem and test their ideas.
Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (for example, 11.2.0.2.0).

DB Connect error: ORA-12535: TNS:operation timed out

Hi,
I am trying to connect to a external oracle database from SAP.
I entered the TNS entry of the external DB in the TNSNAMES.ORA and configured it in the table DBCON.
But i am not able to connect to the external database. It is throwing the error
"sql error 12.535 ; occured:ORA-12535: TNS:operation timed out"
But i was able to connect the database from my system through TNSPING and also from TOAD.
Do i need to configure any parameter in LISTENER.ORA in SAP or in the external database?

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
The note which you specified was with BI objects. But i am trying to connect from SAP R/3 to a remote Oracle database.
I got connected to the remote Oracle database for an hour and it got disconnected by saying "TNS operation timed out".
The CONNECT_TIMEOUT parameter in LISTERER.ORA of the remote Oracle database is missing.
Will this may be the cause for the "TNS operation timed out".

According to the exception, the error is not ACL related, but network related.
Basic test. Connect to the Oracle server using a console (e.g. ssh or telnet into the server). On that server, test the network connectivity to the web server. E.g.
telnet srvab.us.oracle.com 80If this fails, then so will PL/SQL code in that Oracle server.

Invalid relational operator

Hi,
if I :
create table t (a number, b number, c number);
and then run the following query:
delete from t where a='1' and (b, c) in (
select b, c from t
where a='1'
group by b, c
having count(*) > 1);
-- nothing to see here
I get the following error:
ORA-00920: invalid relational operator
If I remove the "-- nothing to see here" comment, the query runs fine.
If I remove the quotes around the 1s it also runs fine, with or without the trailing comment.
I had a look through the forum and couldn't see this listed anywhere, though I presume others have come across similar problems?
I presume there is a simpler test case; I tried to reduce it a bit, but most of what is there seems to be needed to reproduce the error.
Note that it doesn't have to be a comment following the query; any text at all will cause the same error.
regards,
William

Having just played around a bit, if you change the subquery to just return a single column, say "b" rather than "b" and "c":
delete from t where a='1' and b in (
select b from t
where a='1'
group by b
having count(*) > 1);
-- nothing to see here
Then I get error "ORA-00911: invalid character" instead.
If I run the buffer as a script (F5) I get:
SQL ERROR:ORA-00911: invalid character
delete from t where a='1' and b in (
select b from t
where a='1'
group by b
having count(*) > 1);
-- nothing to see here
ORA-00911: invalid character
In case that helps you locate it at all.
Note: if I move the "group by" clause onto the where line then it runs correctly.
regards,
William

Incomplete request/response operation missing send

Brief on orchestration whihc have request response port(published as WCF service)
1. receive(initialize co-relation)
2. Looping and do some operation(in scope and exception handling)
3.listen with receive(follow co-relation )& dynamic set delay shape(this step is also in loop, delay continues untill second request is received)
4. construct resp message and send
getting build error incomplete request/response operation missing send

You have a loop shape, and obviously an condition associated to that loop.
Now consider a scenario: you receive a message - and your loop condition is not met. In such cases you are coming out of loop (after receiving a message), and you will not be able to send anything back on the Req/Res port. Hence the Compiler restricts you
this way.
Thanks

ORA-12535: TNS:operation timed out on other pc

After installing the XE edition on a server, I can connect fine on the server itsself. But when I try to connect from a client machine, I get ORA-12535: TNS:operation timed out.
My tnsnames on the client holds this string for the XE db:
MyDB.10gXE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = MYSERVER)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
any ideas???

Rather than
MyDB.10gXE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = MYSERVER)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
why not go with the bulk standard tnsnames entry as follows:-
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = MYSERVER)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
I don't think the qualified MyDB.10gXE name is adding any value and may well confuse things.
Although setting it for my environment does work

ORA-12535 TNS:operation timed out from SQLPlus and Enterprise Manager Conso

I keep getting a ORA-12535 TNS:operation timed out error, when I try to start my Database.
I know its a timeout error, but I would like to know what is timing out and why. All I want is the database its self to run to allow me to connect to it via SQLPlus and JDBC.
Is there any information on what the following services do and which ones I need to have running to use the database.
Oracle OLAP 9.0.101
Oracle OLAP Agent
Oracle oraHome90Agent
Oracle oraHome90ClientCache
Oracle OraHome90PagingServer
OracleOra90SNMPPeerEncapsulator
OracleOra90SNMPPeerMasterAgent
OracleOra90STNSListener
Thanks for any help Tony

Either reconfigure CONNECT_TIMEOUT to be 0, which means wait indefinitely, or reconfigure CONNECT_TIMEOUT to be some higher value. Or, if the timeout is unacceptably long, turn on tracing for further information.
If you have oracle metalink, then read the following note;

ORA-12535: TNS:operation timed out on a win2000 Oracle instance

Hi,
i have a Oracle 8.1.5 instance on a WIN2000 PC.
I can connect me to this database with sqlplus
as long i stay on the PC (means i started the sqlplus
on the same machine).
When i try to connect from an other (unix-)system
i get after a while (ca. 90 sec.) the error:
ORA-12535: TNS:operation timed out
tnsping works fine (answer comes back in one second)
There are no firewalls or other "strange" things between
the database and the failing client (on an other PC,
also win2000, Oracle 8.1.5 everything works fine).
Below you see the log with debug of the listener.
I have also a trace on level SUPPORT but this is more
than 1000 lines for just 1 or 2 TNSPINGs and one SQLPLUS
connect. Due to this volume i decided not to attach it to
this initial mail.
Does any one have some advice or experiences ?
Please advice.
Best regards,

Rather than
MyDB.10gXE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = MYSERVER)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
why not go with the bulk standard tnsnames entry as follows:-
XE =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = MYSERVER)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SERVER = DEDICATED)
(SERVICE_NAME = XE)
I don't think the qualified MyDB.10gXE name is adding any value and may well confuse things.
Although setting it for my environment does work

OK - when I use your entry pasted directly from the above, with my server name, I get the following problem:-

Thx.

Yes, the XP firewall is running. During the Oracle instalation it poped up twice, but I selected 'Unblock'. I can't turn it off because it is running using the domain settings, but I can add exceptions (programs or ports). Port 1521, tnsping or sqlplus are not blocked and there is an option 'Display a notification when Windows Firewall blocks a program' witch is checked.
