Oracle/PLSQL: ORA-00932 ErrorError: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes

I am getting this error in a PL/SQL package, using SQL using the NVL function.
Oracle/PLSQL: ORA-00932 ErrorError: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes. Cause: You tried to perform an operation between two different datatypes, but the datatypes are not compatible.
I do not get this error on a 10.2.0.4 instance of the database running in Windows.
Anyone come accross this type of issue in 11g Rel.2 or after migrating from 10g to 11g??
Thanks.

Dear user520935,
What are the contents of the package? Where do you exactly get that error?

Have you checked the metalink about it? There are lots of articles about it.

Oracle 10g Issue [ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected ]

Hi,
The following Code Snippet works fine in Oracle 9i DB but gives "ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got -; " error in 10g DB. We are facing lot of issues with this since we migrated application to 10g

[Oracle 8i] ORA-00932 Inconsistent Datatypes

Hopefully this is a quick question to answer. In running a query I get the 'inconsistent datatypes' error, and I've narrowed the error down to one part of my query:
SELECT     CASE
          WHEN     sopn.plan_start_dt < SYSDATE     THEN SYSDATE
          ELSE     sopn.plan_start_dt
     END
FROM     SOPN sopn(replacing SYSDATE with an actual hard-coded date doesn't work either)
The field sopn.plan_start_dt is definitely a date datatype. If I do a simple query for just that field with a date parameter in my where statement, it works just fine, for example:
SELECT     sopn.plan_start_dt
FROM     SOPN sopn
WHERE     sopn.plan_start_dt<SYSDATEdoes not give me any errors.
I'm guessing there's something wrong with my case statement, or maybe case statements with date parameters are something Oracle 8i doesn't get along with...
If anyone can tell me why my case statement is causing an 'inconsistent datatype' error, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Well, this tells me column sopn.plan_start_dt datatype is not DATE. CASE requires all branches to return same type expressions. Most likely sopn.plan_start_dt is VARCHAR2 and it is very bad coding to rely on implicit comversions. Use TO_DATE with proper format. For example:
SELECT     CASE
          WHEN     TO_DATE(sopn.plan_start_dt,'DD-MON-YY') < SYSDATE     THEN SYSDATE
          ELSE     TO_DATE(sopn.plan_start_dt,'DD-MON-YY')
     END
FROM     SOPN sopnSY.

ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got - In 11g, WORKS in 9i!

Hello,
Involved in migration of a 9i database to 11g, R2. One of our procedures works in 9i but in 11g gives us "ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got - "
We tracked down the error in a statement where oracle does a fetch into a sys_refcursor. The fetch happens on a dynamically constructed select statement ( built by varchar concatenation).
The select statement selects 3 fields, but the fetch into passes 2 variables to the fetch statement. This causes ORA-00932 in 11g R2, but works in 9i.
Below is a modified procedure we built to demonstrate the problem. if you compile and test, you will see that the procedure runs in 9i but not 11g.
create or replace procedure testORA00932 is
v_now date;
v_fsqltext varchar2(2000);
v_curs sys_refcursor;
begin
v_fsqltext := 'select sysdate, sysdate+1 from dual'; -- select 2 fields
open v_curs for v_fsqltext;
loop
fetch v_curs into v_now; -- fetch 1 field, this statement fails in 11g (ORA-00932), works in 9i
dbms_output.put_line(v_now);
exit when v_curs%notfound;
end loop;
close v_curs;
end;
Is there a compatibility flag we can turn on to resove this problem?

After researching this a little more, this is a know bug to oracle: Bug 4381035
According to Oracle, the only available workaround is to provide the same number of define variables as columns in the SELECT statement.

Help with error select case statement (ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes)

Hi,
I'm struggling to get my sql query work on Oracle..
I have a table MyTable with 5 columns ( Column1, Column2, Column3, Column4, Column5 ) all are of type NVARCHAR2.
I need to check whether Column 3, Column 4 are empty or not in that order..and if they values then I wanna append it to Column2.
For example
If a row contains the following values,
Column 2 = a.b
Column 3 = 123
Column 4 = xyz
then column CA = a.b/123/xyz where column CA = temp column
If either Column 3 or Column 4 is empty/null, then I don't need to append value for that column..
For example
Column 2 = a.b
Column 3 = either NULL or ''
Column 4 = xyz
then CA = a.b/xyz where column CA = temp column
similarly..
Column 2 = a.b
Column 3 = 123
Column 4 = either NULL or ''
then CA = a.b/123 where column CA = temp column
Here is my query..
select MyTable.Column1 as CA0,
MyTable.Column2 as CA1,
MyTable.Column3 as CA2,
MyTable.Column4 as CA3,
MyTable.Column5 as CA4,
MyTable.Column2 + CASE WHEN MyTable.Column3 > '' THEN '/' + MyTable.Column3 ELSE '' END + CASE WHEN MyTable.Column4 > '' THEN '/' + MyTable.Column4 ELSE '' END CA
from MyTable;
This query works just fine against SQL Server db, but gainst Oracle I'm getting
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got CHAR
00932. 00000 - "inconsistent datatypes: expected %s got %s"
Could you please let me know what I'm doing wrong. I need to get this query working on both SQL Server and Oracle..
Please let me know your suggestions and thoughts..
Cheers,

I need to check whether Column 3, Column 4 are empty or not in that order..and if they values then I wanna append it to Column2. In Oracle, you can do it this way - no need to do all kinds of difficult things:
select col2||col3||col4
from tbl

ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CURSER

Hi all,
I created a Function and tried to execute it from SQL Plus, but am getting an error
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CURSER
I have been trying to debug for ages, but cant get to the root of what the problem might be. I would appreciate any help or idea's people could offer
The only comfort I take from this is that Oracle have a typo in one of their error messages :)

ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected UDT got NUMBER

Hello Friends...
i got this error while inserting record ..
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected UDT got NUMBER
wht is that UDT ??
Thanks..

You cannot insert into your table STUDENT using the COURSE_TAB collection, since the column SUB is defined as a single object type.
So either you have to modify your insert into two inserts as follows;
INSERT INTO STUDENT VALUES(1,COURSE('1','ORACLE') )
INSERT INTO STUDENT VALUES(1,COURSE('2','JAVA') )
/or you have to modify your table structure so you can store a nested table, which will allow you to have a single insert
something like this:
drop table s
drop type course_tab
create or replace type course_type as object (
CNO CHAR(1),
C_CNAME VARCHAR2(10)
CREATE or replace TYPE course_tab AS TABLE OF course_type;
create table s ( c course_tab )
nested table c store as course_list
-- You can now have a single insert as follows:
1* insert into s (c) values ( course_tab ( course_type('1','Java'), course_type('2','Oracle')) )
SQL> /
1 row created.Be careful of using nested tables though. asktom reckons one should not use them.

ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got LONG

Hi,
I am facing problem while issuing the command:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got LONG
SELECT TEXT FROM USER_VIEWS WHERE TEXT LIKE '%ASCII%'
Any help will be needful for me
Thanks and Regards

Please go through this
If you try to search a LONG column, this is what will happen:
SQL> select record_no, comments
2 from long_demo
3 where
4 comments like '%LONG%';
comments like '%LONG%'
ERROR at line 4:
ORA-00932: inconsistent data types
That's right; you can't search the contents of a LONG column. Here's what happens if you try to apply a function to a LONG column.
SQL> select record_no, substr(comments,1,5)
2 from long_demo;
select record_no, substr(comments,1,5)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00932: inconsistent data types
Again, Oracle won't enable you to apply a function to a LONG column. In a sense, you can think of a LONG column as a large container into which you can store or retrieve data--;but not manipulate it.
I have taken this content from
http://docs.rinet.ru/Oru7na95/ch10.html
which I refer to when I get stuck up. Hope this helps you.

SPOOL OFF;If I comment out the "AMRCONF_COMMENT_ERR ||'|'||" line, then the script works fine. The table was created as:

    AMRCONF_IDEN_CODE_ERR        VARCHAR2(5)   NOT NULL,

    ERROR_CODE_TEXT              VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL
); I don't get what is the problem here in the script.

Hi,
Feew suggestions
1) LONG is a deprecated type hence if possible start working on changing that column
2) CLOB will your preferred datatype over LONG.
3) you cannot use RTRIM on long.
here is a very quick example
drop table h
create table h (x long,y varchar2(100))
select rtrim(x) from h
select rtrim(y) from hSolution:
[http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/code/tips2003/052503.html]
need a better solution change the datatype to clob and
drop table h
create table h (x clob,y varchar2(100))
select dbms_lob.substr( x, 4000, 1 ) from h
select rtrim(y) from hCheers!!!

Get ORA-00932 inconsistent datatype when passing parameter in tableadapter

I have to build a Dataset to use as source for Microsoft rdlc-Report.
In the Dataset I create a tableadapter using plain SQL.
In my SELECT-Command I have to pass a Date parameter:
I've tested a SELECT like in the following example:
SELECT a.field1, a.field2, field3
FROM table a
WHERE a.createdate < :IN_DATE In the tableadapter query-builder I get data, but after storing the command I get following error-message:
ORA-00932 inconsistent datatypes expected date got number
Later I have to pass the Date parameter in a Function like
SELECT a.field1, a.field2, getvalue(a.field3,:IN_DATE) FROM table aIm using ODP.NET 11g on a 10g Oracle DB server.
Is there a possibility to pass a Date parameter?
I hope anyone has a tipp...

ORA-00932: inconsistent datatype: expected SYS.ALERT_TYPE

Hi,
I am developing a c# application for getting notifications from SYS.ALERT_QUE (maintained by oracle for alerts). When I try to enque something in queue(SYS.ALERT_QUE) it throws an exception "ORA-00932: inconsistent datatype: expected SYS.ALERT_TYPE". I tried the same code for different queue(cretaed by me in SYS) and it is running fine and getting notification messages too.Do I need to add some additional parameter to access SYS.ALERT_QUE? I am posting the code plz let me know what needs to be done to this code to work for SYS.ALERT_QUE.
OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection(constr);
// Create queue
OracleAQQueue queue = new OracleAQQueue("sys.alert_que", con);
try
// Open connection
con.Open();
// Set message type for the queue
queue.MessageType = OracleAQMessageType.Xml;
queue.NotificationConsumers = new string[1] { "SUBSCRIBER1" };
// Add the event handler to handle the notification. The
// MsgReceived method will be invoked when a message is enqueued
queue.MessageAvailable +=
new OracleAQMessageAvailableEventHandler(Notification.MsgReceived);
Console.WriteLine("Notification registered...");
// Begin txn for enqueue
OracleTransaction txn = con.BeginTransaction();
Console.WriteLine("Now enqueuing message...");
// Prepare messages with XML payload
OracleAQMessage[] enqMsgs = new OracleAQMessage[1];
OracleXmlType msg1 = new OracleXmlType(con, "<PERSON><FIRSTNAME>Bob</FIRSTNAME></PERSON>");
enqMsgs[0] = new OracleAQMessage(msg1);
OracleAQAgent[] agent = new OracleAQAgent[1];
agent[0] = new OracleAQAgent("SUBSCRIBER1");
enqMsgs[0].Recipients = agent;
enqMsgs[0].SenderId = new OracleAQAgent("SENDER1");
// Prepare to Enqueue
queue.EnqueueOptions.Visibility = OracleAQVisibilityMode.OnCommit;
// Enqueue message array
queue.EnqueueArray(enqMsgs);
txn.Commit();
// Loop while waiting for notification
while (isNotified == false)
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(2000);
catch (Exception e)
Console.WriteLine("Error: {0}", e.Message);
}

Asif,
As the error message indicates, there is no mapping between java boolean type and PL/SQL data type.
No, BOOLEAN type in PL/SQL is not mapped to boolean in java.
As a workaround, I suggest using an int.
Good Luck,
Avi.
P.S. I think the Java in the Oracle Database forum is more appropriate for your question.

Sync error....ORA-00932 Inconsistent datatypes

Hey all,
I am getting the following error when syncing:
MS-9109 n@86e554 (this seems to be random string) || ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes
Now, I've narrowed it down to the field that causes this error to occur. It is important to note that if I don't touch the field (just keep the initial value from the initial sync to 8.1.7, things sync fine.
The error only occurs if I change the field value in 9iLite (which I am doing through me eVB app).
In 9iLite it is defined as:
Data_Type = Number, Len = 5, N = Y, Prec = 5, Scale = 4
In 8.1.7 it is defined as:
Data_type = Number (5,4) Null = N
I'm not sure why in Lite null is Y and in 8.1.7 null is N. I just let Oracle create the lite tables based on my snapshot. At any rate, the field is not null.
Does anyone have any thoughts? Does anyone know what the first part (MS-9109) of the error message is about? I can't find anything on it in Google.
Thx.
Darren

Well,
If fixed my problem. I just re-wrote the sql I had defined in the snapshot for the table in question. Still not sure why it didn't initally work as I didn't change the logic at all.

Why do I get this error? ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes

This is my stored procedure I've created to select only the exact amount of records per page for a GridView (for ASP.NET):
CREATE OR REPLACE
PROCEDURE SELECT_COMMAND
(pTable IN VARCHAR2
, pFields IN VARCHAR2
, pSortField IN VARCHAR2
, pPageIndex IN NUMBER
, pTotalRecs IN NUMBER
, pResultSet OUT SYS_REFCURSOR
) AS
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'SELECT ' || pFields || ' FROM '
|| '(SELECT '|| pFields ||', ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY '|| pSortField ||') ROW_NUM '
|| 'FROM '|| pTable ||') WHERE ROW_NUM BETWEEN '|| to_char(pPageIndex*pTotalRecs) ||' AND '
|| to_char((pPageIndex+1)*pTotalRecs)
INTO pResultSet;
-- Plus 1 to our index because GridView is a zeroth index collection
END SELECT_COMMAND;I then do a test case with the following paremeters:
declare
p_test sys_refcursor;
begin
select_command('v_sig_devices', '"JOB", "LINE"', '"DEVICE_ID"', 0, 10, p_test);
end;But I get the following error:
>
Error report: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got -
ORA-06512: at "SIM.SELECT_COMMAND", line 10
ORA-06512: at line 4
00932. 00000 - "inconsistent datatypes: expected %s got %s"
>
At first Oracle gave me an error because the numbers were not a string. Then I convert them into a string (with to_char) and Oracle is still not happy! Any ideas as to why this is happening?
Thanks for any help that you can provide.

You don't select into ref cursors, you open them:
SQL> create table t(c varchar2(1));
Table created.
SQL> insert into t values ('a');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into t values ('b');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into t values ('c');
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> create or replace
2 procedure p (p_ref out sys_refcursor) as
3 begin
4 open p_ref for 'select c from t';
5 end;
6 /
Procedure created.
SQL> var results refcursor
SQL> exec p(:results);
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> print results
C
a
b
c
