Oracle Reserved Words in EJB Implementations

Hello Everybody!
Suppose there is a table in Oracle , say Account which has a column, say comment. comment is a reserved word in Oracle. I would like to know how Oracle reserved words are handled in EJB implementation. For example, suppose there is an enterprise application that accesses such a table using CMP beans, how would we specify the <field-map>
<field-map>
<cmp-field>comment</cmp-field>
<dbms-column>COMMENT</dbms-column>
</field-map>
This doesnt work because COMMENT is a reserved word in Oracle. In Oracle,
if we use comment as a column name, it has to be represented in double quotations.
for example, this select query doesnt work
select COMMENT from account;
these select queries works
select "COMMENT" from account;
select A."COMMENT" from account A;
Regarding the current EJB implementations, the question is whether they support Oracle reserved words in their mappings??
"COMMENT"s welcome
Thanks!

Did you try it?
Did you try it with double quotes?
The specs I looked at do not discuss this(jdbc, ejb, j2ee.) The ejb spec reserves as part of EJB QL some standard ANSI SQL reserved words and specifically suggests that other ANSI SQL reserved words should not be used.
And if I am reading the EJB QL section correctly identifiers (which would be a table, field names) do not allow quoted identifiers. Or at least they specifically do not allow fields with, for example, a space. This sort of name is specifically allowed for in ANSI SQL and has been since the first version of ANSI SQL. They also do not allow for case sensitive names, which again is allowed in ANSI SQL as part of a quoted identifier.
That suggests to me that you use reserved words that either you going to be using a non-J2EE feature of a container or it simply won't work in the first place.

Tag is Oracle reserved word

My XML document has the tag <DATE>. (an Oracle reserved word)
My Oracle table has the column DATE. This was creating by enclosing the column name with quotes when creating the table.
I assumed that a putXML would work since the SQL Reference manual says that Oracle considers DATE and "DATE" to be the same thing.
However, when I run putXML, I get the error message "missing SELECT keyword encountered during processing ROW element 1".
Does this XML file need to be preprocessed by XSLT to alter the DATE element, does getXML have a bug, or did I do something wrong?
Thanks.

Scott,

Yeah I know it is a bug but what I was not sure of is whether Product Development knew about it or not.

I was just letting Product Development know about it in case they did not already.

Is there, or should there be, another (better) way of reporting bugs with Application Express to product development.

Incomprehensible Oracle Reserved Word Error

I'm trying to create a Table for a new application and I keep getting this error message:
1 error has occurred
The identified column name is an Oracle reserved word. Please choose another name.
Unfortunately, it doesn't identify a column as containing a reserved word. I tried googling for a list of Oracle Reserved Words, Oracle Keywords, and PL/SQL Reserved Words; but none of them match the column names in my table. My column names are:
PROJECT NAME (Aliases)
(C)USTOMER REQUEST or (IT) REQUEST
Priority (1= high)
PROJECT STATUS
PROJECT MANAGER
LAST STATUS
Link to Status
START DATE
ESTIMATED COMPLETION
NOTES

DBA_Name used to be DBA, which is a keyword, but when I changed it to DBA_Name, i got the same error. Please help.

Thanks. I'm using Oracle 11g. I think what you're suggesting would work, if the objective is to create an empty table and then populate it with data.
However, what I'm trying to do is import a spreadsheet into APEX as a table, after which I shall build an application on that. If I do it your way, I'll have to key all the spreadsheet data in after creation, creating the possibility of keyed errors, which would require proof-reading. I'd prefer not to do that.
This morning, before returning to this thread, I was able to import the spreadsheet by changing all the column names to the corresponding Excel column heads: A, B, C and so on. When I went to SQL workshop to rename the columns, I found only 10 had been imported. There are 22 columns in the spreadsheet, most of them populated, and we need them all.
I believe I can still use the table I have created. I can add the extra 12 columns now, one at a time, and populate them by typing, if I must.
However, if there's some constraint or constant I can alter to import all 22 columns with all the information in one pass, I would appreciate it. There are 53 rows. Keying 12 columns for all 53 would be something of a pain.

Create App From Spreadsheet: "column name is an Oracle reserved word"

I'm creating an App from a spreadsheet on apex.oracle.com (3.0.0.00.20 at time of writing) and receiving the error "The identified column name is an Oracle reserved word. Please choose another name."
I've tried adding an underscore to the end of each column name in order to avoid having to check every column name (yup, lazy) but that didn't remove the error, nor is any column name identified by the interface.
Thoughts?

Hi David,
There was a bug at one time where reserved words were not being checked properly when creating columns. A particular problem related to names beginning with "SYS".
Try adding the underscore in front of the column name.

Oracle Reserve Words

When creating entity names in Oracle Designer, can reserve words be used if they are part of a string? For instance CREATION DATE?
And is it necessary to have underscore between all entity names before using the Database Design Transformer?

When defining entities and attributes in Oracle designer, there is no need to use the underscore. In addition, if it is your intention to use the Database Design Transformer to full effect:
1. Ensure the long name, short name and plural properties are defined for each entity.
2. Do not create attributes for non-significant primary keys (those that will be generated by sequences)as the transformer will create these.
3. Do not create attributes for foreign key relationships. Again these will be created by the transformer.
4. When using the transformer, pay particular attention to all the options to make sure you want to use a particular one.

"MS" reserved word in oracle text query?

Wondering if anyone has run into the string "MS" behaving as a reserved word in oracle text queries. For example, this specification returns all records from Texas:
'<query>
<textquery>
<progression>
<seq> TX WITHIN CUSTOMER_STATE </seq>
</progression>
</textquery>
</query>'
But this one does NOT find any results for Mississippi:
'<query>
<textquery>
<progression>
<seq> MS WITHIN CUSTOMER_STATE </seq>
</progression>
</textquery>
</query>'
I've confirmed we have data that should match, and I've tried escaping it with the sequences as described in the SQL docs (I've tried single quotes, pairs of single quotes, braces, and combinations of those) . And trying to find info on the web is tough since all web queries that contain 'MS' bring back tons of Microsoft-relevant information.
Can anyone nudge me in the right direction for a better google-search, or some materials in these forums (my initial searches here didn't turn anything up either).
Thanks for any feedback!

I need to use a reserved word as parameter name in proc called from URL

Let me preface this post by saying I already know this is terrible to attempt, but it's short term fix only.
Ok, so I have to create a procedure that will be called by a vendors application via a API that calls our URL to send data over. The terrible part is
that the API they have uses the parameter FROM=vendor_data A change is on the way so in the future the API won't use FROM as a paramter, so this isn't something I want to do, but it's a workaround.
So the nastiness is this..., I can create a procedure that'll compile when I enclose FROM in double quotes "FROM" as my input parameter
but if I try to call my procedure via URL (as their application will do) the procedure isn't working. I searched for someway to do an inline
replace of the FROM parameter to something else, but no luck. I'm open to all positive comments. I cannot go outside of Oracle
to do this, so I can't call a shell script and replace. Basically I need some way to use a reserved word as a parameter name, and then be able to call
that proc from a URL, or someway to change the FROM in the URL inline. Any help on this admittedly whacky situation would be appreciated much.
I tried ...\myproc?from=text
...\myproc?"from"=text
...\myproc?'from'=text
proc is simple test procedure
create or replace procedure myproc
("from" in varchar2 default 0)
is
v_from varchar2(30);
begin
v_from:="FROM";
insert into test(col1) values(v_from);
end;
**** Update
I didn't get any more replies but came to a solution that I thought I'd post. It's much better, more elegant and maybe can help others.
So instead of using FROM as the parameter name I did some research and decided I can use flexible parameters. Basically you end up having
2 input parameters for a procedure, one holds a parameter name the other holds the parameter value. They get loaded into arrays
and you access the values with regular name_array(1), value_array(1), etc. ?v=parameter&v2=value
Once I figued I could use flexible parameter it took me tons of research to find out the actual syntax. I'll post some examples for others
later, but was suprised with the lack of resources consideriing how "flexible" they are.
Thanks again for the replies. Cheers.

Scott,
Thanks for the reply. I'm not familiar with the wwv_flow_epg_include_mod_local, however I know that the
myproc is available via URL. I passed the my procedure name(myproc) on to the dba a while back to make it "accessible" so, I'm assuming that he
added it to this the www_flow_epg_mod_local (assuming this has something to do with access control).
If I modify myproc procedure and remove "FROM" as the input variable, and replace with say,
IN_FROM I can then call the procedure via the URL ./myproc?in_from=test without any problems.
I'm pretty confident that it's the "FROM" that is the hurdle and not a security or setup issue. The proc is fine to call from the URL until I got the curveball that the only available parameter was FROM. How the URL should be when inputing to that parameter?

How to use reserved word in MAX() function?

Hello, I migrated from SQL Server 7 to Oracle 8.1.7 and have to keep the same tables, columns etc names as it used to be in sql server. One of my tables have colunm called 'Row' and as far as I understand it's reserved word in Oracle
I need to bypass it somehow in the following query:
SELECT MAX(Row)
FROM TableX
I'll appreciate all ideas
Thanks in advance
Marina

Hi,
Try one of the following
Select MAX("ROW")
Select MAX("Row")
be careful the double quotes (") make the Row case sensitive.

Oracle reserved and non-reserved keywords

Hello,
I'm looking for a list of reserved and non-reserved keywords for all Oracle versions starting from 9.
I think Oracle starts at R1, right? So the versions needed would be:
9.1, 9.2
10.1, 10.2 and
11.1
I found lists of keywords querying Oracle view V$RESERVED_WORDS
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/dynviews_2048.htm#REFRN30204
here:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/ap_keywd.htm
However, this is only for version 10.2 and it contains only reserved keywords.
I need a list for every maintenance/minor version. This list must contain all keywords in Oracle PL/SQL, not just the reserved ones, but also those which shouldn't be used in certain contexts described by the V$RESERVED_WORDS view (former link) -> probably reserved = 'N'.
Since I don't own a copy of Oracle and definitely not of every minor version, does anyone know where to obtain such lists?
You might want to do me a favor and query that view for me... ;-) (you can send the output to "k w u t z k e AT w e b DOT d e" ... don't forget to mention the version)
From what the view tells me, the SQL statements to query are:
For reserved words:
select keyword from v$reserved_words where reserved='Y' order by keyword;
For all other non-reserved words:
select keyword from v$reserved_words where reserved='N' order by keyword;
Are there any keywords/entities that are neither reserved='Y' nor reserved='N'?
Can anyone help on this issue please?
TIA,
Karsten

Not sure about differences between specific versions but the easy way to get reserved words is in SQL*Plus...

How Badly Do You Abuse Reserved Words in Column Names

I have a challenge for all you DBA's out there. Most of us agree that reserved words as column names is a bad practice but how clean is your database and some people are quit outspoken about it. Run the following query on some of your custom, non-COTS, databases and post your top 5. You may want to run it in Development to make sure new tables don't violate the best practice. Often we don't think when creating column names or inherited ugly databases, but the fact is, we all have reserved word column names.

Interesting exercise!

Any idea what is going wrong here ?

What oracle version? Check the DB alert log files for information about the internal error. Other thing is RMAN may be getting confused with the 'CATALOG' tablespace with it being a reserved word in RMAN in generating the internal script - may be a bug.
See in the internal script:
skip tablespace USERS3,
USERS2,
CATALOG ;The internal script gets an error once it reaches CATALOG even though you've quoted it in the original script. For example:
RMAN> list copy of tablespace CATALOG;

ORA-22806: not an object or REF on the reserved word FROM, how to debug?

I am honestly confused on this one...
When I run the following in sqlplus:
SQL> SELECT a.fname, a.lname
FROM h_user_m a
WHERE a.id IN
(SELECT UNIQUE m.user_id
FROM h_user_role m
WHERE m.role_id =
(SELECT UNIQUE id
FROM h_role_n
WHERE LOWER (name) = 'wc-ismp-admin')
OR m.role_id =
(SELECT UNIQUE id
FROM h_role_n
WHERE LOWER (name) = 'wc-ismp-user'))
AND a.id NOT IN (SELECT user_id
FROM ip_user);
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-22806: not an object or REF
I run the same query in Toad for Oracle v9.7.2.5 and it returns the same error, but highlights the reserved word FROM. I googled the error, but I'm not for sure why the reserved word FROM would be causing the error?

Thank you for the quick response.
I tried your query and I still receive the same 'ORA-22806: not an object or REF' error & in Toad, it does highlight the reserved word FROM.
Oddly enough, I went back and ran the first sub-query from both of our SQL statements and no errors returned.
Only when I added the sub-query back to the main query I receive the error as mentioned.
So, the following worked:
select m.user_id
from h_user_role m
where m.role_id in
(select id
from h_role_n
where lower (name) = 'wc-ismp-admin'
or lower (name) = 'wc-ismp-user'
minus
select user_id
from ip_user)
but added back to:
select a.fname, a.lname
from h_user_m a
where a.id in(...)
The error returns - the same steps apply to my statement as well...
Looking at the 10g Release 2 (10.2) documents, I don't see any restrictions to the IN reserved word, in terms of number of sub-queries, etc...

Need a procedure to check reserve words are in uppercase or not?

Hi All,
i am using oracle 11g,
my question is i wanted to create procudure and i am passing a sql query as input parameter and there i am using lots of oracle reserve keywords. but i need to check if those reserve keywords are not in uppercase
it should show error message and error line. suppose my query is like below and it should show which line error is?
SELECT FINDING_LEVEL_ID
,PROTOCOL_SETUP_ID
,FLV_LAST_MODIFIED_BY
,FLV_LAST_MODIFIED_ON
FROM empb
Where EXISTS (SELECT 1
 FROM dept a
 Where a.PROTOCOL_SETUP_ID = b.PROTOCOL_SETUP_ID
 AND PROTOCOL_LAST_MODIFIED_ON >
 to_date(ms_sra_get_max_date_fnc('N'
 ,'SGMGBI')
 ,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'));
suppose error is there in where key word so it should show errorline and error message, but error message is common for every line.
please help me
Thanks

I don't read other posts , I gave you only example... If you have table with this words you should replace RS to your table name. And write pl/sql code for procedure.
with rs(a) as
select 'WHERE' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
select 'FROM' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
select 'EXISTS' FROM DUAL UNION ALL
select 'SELECT' FROM DUAL
select a.a,
 substr(s,REGEXP_instr(upper(s),a,1,column_value),length(a)) error_word,
 REGEXP_instr(upper(s),a,1,column_value) err_line
from(
select rownum n, q.*, rs.*, regexp_count(upper(q.s), rs.a) cnt from (
select

Search for a reserved word?

Can I make Oracle Text do a search for a reserved word?
I've got users searching for 'not well' and 'forget me not', and although I've trapped that and wrapped the word in braces (so the searches are passed as ...contains(searchfield,'({not}) and well')>0, for example), the results show a lot of very healthy people and holes in the ground with water in them: only the 'well' bit is being recognised, it seems.
Similarly, 'forget me not' is being searched as 'forget and me', with the 'not' bit seemingly being ignored.
Can I get a 'not', when the first or last word in a search, to be searched for as that word?

NOT is a stoplist word.
Either get rid of the stoplist entirely, or create a custom stoplist that allows NOT as a token, and you should be good to go.

Invoking LC webservices from VB6 where "invoke" is reserved word

Hi everyone:
I'm making some poceses tests on one customer (We are running a proof of concept and positioning LC technology ) who wants to invoke LC PDF-G orchestrated services using the WS endpoint from an VB6 app.
When the VB6 app creates the proxy object to call the invoke method exposed by the LC orchestrated process an compilation error occurs,
apparently invoke is a "reserved word" for internal use in VB6, so it doesn't works...
If we try to invoke an out-of-the-box LC service from a VB6 app via the WS API all works fine!
This is part of our code:
SERVICE = ""
Port = ""
WSDL = "http://172.26.45.195:8080/soap/services/getReportTitle?WSDL"
Set objSoap = New MSSOAPLib30.SoapClient30
objSoap.ClientProperty("ServerHTTPRequest") = True
Call objSoap.MSSoapInit(WSDL, SERVICE, Port)
objSoap.ConnectorProperty("AuthUser") = "administrator"
objSoap.ConnectorProperty("AuthPassword") = "password"
Resultado = objSoap.Invoke("1")
An we attache the VB error.
How to solve this problem...??
Thanks in advance,
Diego.

That's going to be tricky because any custom LC processes has a default method of invoke. You may be able to "reflect" it by creating a java service that lives on the LC server. That java service can call the LC application and could be called by the VB6 app.
On the other hand, I though Microsoft end-of-life for VB6 was back in March 2008 - so you may want to push them into using a .Net version.
