Outer Join problems - "ORA-30563 outer join operator (+) not allowed in select-list"

Products: Discoverer 4.1.33.0.2
(Admin and User/Plus)
8i EE 8.1.7 (Discoverer server)
8i EE 8.1.5 ('source data' server)
Background assumptions: (1) If a column from an "outer-joined" table is compared to a constant, the outer join operator must be applied to that column in order for the outer join to work. (2) A 'Condition' specified in Discoverer User/Plus manifests as a comparison to a constant.
I created a join in Admin between two folders, selected 'outer join on detail' option. In User/Plus, created worksheet containing columns from the joined folders. When no Conditions are NOT specified, results seem ok. However, when Condition IS added, worksheet encounters "ORA-30563 outer join operator (+) not allowed in select-list" and returns blank sheet.
To workaround, created Custom folder with outer join in place. Didn't work either with Conditions specified. No error, but I think that because Discoverer did not 'outer join' the Condition column, the outer join was ignored.
Any insights, ideas, or workarounds are much appreciated.

If you build a query that uses an outer join then any items from the potentially deficient side of the join will have (+) appended to them everywhere in the sql. Up until 8.1.7 this was OK in the select list as it was just treated as noise and ignored - However this now fails with ORA-30563:
outer join operator (+) not allowed in select-list...
In 4.1.33.1.6 you get the error 'ORA-30563 outer join operator(+) not allowed in select list'.
In 4.1.36.1.10 the query runs OK.. Your work around I would guess would be to create a custom folder as you suggested.

ORA-30563, Outer Join not allowed in select list

I can not find any information about this error message that I am getting.
I have just upgraded my Oracle database from Version 7.3 to Version 8.1.7, a stored procedure that was written in v7.3 has outer joins in the select statement.
when trying to run this proc in version 8 I get this meesage.(ORA-30563, Outer Join not allowed in select list)
code ex:
Select alt.id
decode(alt.advise, NULL, NULL, AA.act_yr(+))||'-'||AA.act_per(+)||'-'||AA.Acc_per_no(+)) as advise_no
from alt, AA;
Is there any information about this message anywhere? or does anybody know if this is a known issue with oracle ver 8.1.7?
Thanks

It appears to have been a bug in 7.x
From a metalink note on bugs fixed in 8i (doc 132632.1)
974742 Oracle does not report an error if (+) is specified in select-list. The OUTER JOIN operator (+) is only valid in WHERE clause predicates. As this is not flagged as an error the query can give unexpected results. The correct action to avoid this problem is to fix the query.

ORA-01719: outer join operator (+) not allowed in operand of OR or IN

I am getting the following Error when I tried to execute my Query.

and aa.estblmt_id=e.estblmt_id and e.end_dt is null) order by t.name

First, is this query being executed within Apex or at the SQL prompt or in SQL Workshop, or something else? Some context of where it's being executed may help.
Next, that's a query from hell. How about rewrting it to use ANSI join syntax instead, so it'a bit more readable?
A quick example for part of it would be:
FROM (additional_addr aa LEFT OUTER JOIN estblmt e ON aa.estblmt_id = e.estblmt_id )
etc.
Just add additional parenthesis for each additional table join, similar to:
FROM ((additional_addr aa LEFT OUTER JOIN estblmt e ON aa.estblmt_id = e.estblmt_id )
LEFT OUTER JOIN src_country_state_region scsr ON aa.state_region_id = scsr.state_region_id )
In the long run it will make the query a bit more legible, so your where clause only lists the query conditions, not the join conditions. Then it becomes easier to quickly glance at it and see where potential problems may be.

Can't open sequence: " operation not allowed. Out of memory"

I have a project with several sequences. The master sequence started freezing on me. I restarted FCP and the computer, but now it won't let me open this sequence. It will let me open others in the project, but not this one. It's even smaller than others. I get the error message, "Operation not allowed. Out of memory." How do I fix this if I can't open it? I've cleaned out render files as well.
Thanks for the help!

The graphics/stills don't reside in your project or in a Sequence - those are just pointers to the original media. The images should be on a hard drive wherever you stored them.
The problem could also be due to a corrupt render files. You could try trashing the render files for the project and see if it opens afterward.

Cannot open Sequence: "Operation Not Allowed" then "Out of Memory"

I quit FCS1 for about 5 hours and returned. When I opened the project I was working on I got these messages: "Operation Not Allowed" then "Out of Memory" when I attempt to open my master working sequence. Other sequences (small nests) do open within the project. The project opens, so the file is not corrupt. A back-up copy of the same project file on a separate physical disc generates the same results. I deleted the prefs and User Data folder, even ran FCP Rescue. Same results. Then I resorted to the Autosave Vault. The two most recent saves resulted in the same error messages. Fortunately the next did not. I lost a considerable amount of work. The system says my memory is OK (6GB). Any ideas? (An attempt to open on a FCS2 machine {8GB RAM} resulted in the same two error messages.)
The project is fairly lengthy (90 mins) and does have numerous 1 and 2 frame audio edits. Nothing particularly unusual in the video tracks--although I am mixing DV and HDV. It doesn't seem to me these attributes would matter, just throwing them out there.

...removing and re-rendering is a great idea, if you've got the time.
And if during render you get the same out of memory error, try rendering "in-to-out", rendering small chunks until you get to a chunk which brings up the error. Then, you've found an offending "corrupt" file.

Operation not allowed , Out of Memory

Hey everyone.
I opened an FCP project one day and opened a sequence and got a dialog that says "Operation not Allowed", followed by "Out of Memory."
I can't open the sequence anymore.
I am running latest FCP with mac book pro intel core2 duo. I've got 2 GB ram and had nothing else open so I don't think it's the memory.
Anyone know a fix for this?
Help because I lost ALL my work!!!

I've seen this message when opening projects with clips using unsupported codecs such as Avid Meridien. You might be able to take the media drive offline temporarily to get eh project open, and sort the browser by compressor to check for different or missing codecs. Usually you can find these online and place the in the /Liibrary/QuickTime/ folder.
Hope this helps -

As per checking, found there is an issue in 11gR2 with insert query using rownum in values.
Do anyone know how to solve this issue ?

If there is a bug here, then it is in 10g, not 11. Although it does insert a row, I don't think it does anything useful.

I'm trying to transfer photos form my pc to my ipad. Itunes defaults to All Folders under Sync photos. Whatever file I download wipes out what was previously downloaded. It will not let me select Selected folders. How can I transfer additional photos

I'm trying to transfer photos form my pc to my ipad. Itunes defaults to All Folders under Sync photos. Whatever file I download wipes out what was previously downloaded. It will not let me select Selected folders. How can I transfer additional photos without losing what I already trasnferred?

Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

JDBC + MySQL : "Operation Not Allowed After ResultSet Closed"

I have a very short piece of code. I use one connection to the database. I execute a query, get back a lot of rows, then iterate through the result set and for each row I get some information and then perform an insert into a different table.
The problem is that the big result set I am iterating through keeps closing sometime during the first iteration. Why? I am using three different statements:
1) Statement 1 is for the main query I want to iterate through
2) Statement 2 is for a quick lookup I perform (on a different table) for each item in the iteration.
3) Statement 3 is for the Insert statement which I perform for each item in the iteration. Again, I insert into a different table and I use "executeUpdate"
Given the I have three different statements and I am working with three different tables, why does my main result set that I am iterating through keep closing on me?
Here is the error I am getting:
java.sql.SQLException: Operation not allowed after ResultSet closed
at com.mysql.jdbc.ResultSet.checkClosed(ResultSet.java:3603)
at com.mysql.jdbc.ResultSet.next(ResultSet.java:2468)

back a lot of rows, then iterate through the result
set and for each row I get some information and then
perform an insert into a different table.Sounds like a classic case of making Java do what the database was made to do.
I'd bet you can do this in a single INSERT with a SELECT in the database in one network roundtrip. The "quick lookup" might be a JOIN or a sub-SELECT. When you do a query, bring N rows back to the middle tier, then do an INSERT for each row that you retrieve it means (N+1) network roundtrips if you don't batch your INSERTs. I'd have a SQL expert give your code a look.

ORA-20103: Null input is not allowed

Hi, Got a bit of a problem I'm struggling with. Hoping someone can help !
I've got some PL/SQL code which performs some simple checks against XML to see if its Malformed.I can't cut and paste the real code due to security constraints but this should give you the gist :
BEGIN
p:=xmlparser.newParser;
xmlparser.parseCLOB(p,c); -- where P is xmlparser.parser and c is a CLOB variable
doc:= xmlparser.getDocument(p);
--Check Elements
--Attributes etc
goes on through the elements etc checking for missing tags etc.
This code worked a treat but then when once in production we started getting some Java out of memory errors so I've added a xmlparser.freeparser(p) and a freedocument once everything is completed (the parser is created and destroyed for each CLOB as part of a cursor loop) but now when I run it I get a ORA-20103: Null input is not allowed error. I've traced it through and it bombs out with this error at the point where it performs the xmlparser.parseCLOB(p,c) call. I've checkd and the Clob variable has a clob in it at the point where parseCLOB is called.
What makes this really interesting is that the ORA-20103 error only occurs when you pass it a clob containing MALFORMED XML !! This didn't happen before I added the freeparser etc !!!
I've compared code and its identical save for the freeparser and freedocument calls, which come well AFTER the parseCLOB command.
Has anyone got any ideas as I'm out of them !!
Thanks in advanced for any help received.

Cannot save work FCP displays "Operation Not Allowed"

I began working on a new project last week delievered to me as media files and project file on a 500 G. LaCie drive.
After working a couple of hours on this project, I began to get a warning box "Operation Not allowed" everytime I tried to save or auto-save. It will not save even upon closing of the project, so I've lost a lot of work so far.
I had a workaround for a while, but that began to bug out as well. I don't have the problem on my other projects and media which are on other media drives.
Any way I can get rid of this problem?

make sure that 'ignore ownership on this volume' is checked.
you get to it though 'Get Info' - (right click on the drive icon to bring up the selection).

Operation Not Allowed

does anyone know what operation not allowed means?
I had a timeline with a .PSD in it, as i draged it over a piece of video in the timeline a red box in the viewer came up and asked me to refresh the window. A dialogue Box came up and said out of memory, which I find hard to believe. I shut FCP down and now I cant open that timeline. Is there any way to get around this and re-activate my timeline?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
N Neame

Well I ended up using an auto save of the project. I lost only 5 minutes of work.
Stats of the .PSD
Size: 720-576
Aspect Ratio 1.066 (Pal DV)
Colour Mode: RGB
Bit Depth: 8 Bit
Layers: 1
Platform: Adobe CS2
So Im not to sure what the problem was but I imagine that the file was just bad. Thanks for your thoughts guys.
Interesting to note that it could be a memory problem. Especially the Operation not allowed on exports. I have seen this a few times myslef. However the files from the export work fine. Go figure. Gremlins I guess.
Cheers guys,
Nic Neame

Javax.jms.IllegalStateException: Operation not allowed

Hi all, (first time posting, so go easy on me!)
just wondering can anyone out their shed some light on a problem I am having here with JMS. I am attempting to access JMS from a stateless EJB. The problem is I get an illegalStateException when I call "setMessageListener(..)". The bean simply creates an object (which implements the MessageListener interface) passing an RMI client callback reference into the constructor. The idea here is that when JMS forwards a message onto my listener, in the onMessage(..) function I call back into the RMI client. So the idea sounds simple, but JMS wont let me register the listener from the EJB. Heres some code and the exception which is generated (including the call stack):
jndiContext = new InitialContext();
Object objRef = (Object)jndiContext.lookup ("java:comp/env/jms/TopicConnectionFactory");
topicConnectionFactory = (TopicConnectionFactory)PortableRemoteObject.narrow(objRef, TopicConnectionFactory.class);
topic = (Topic) jndiContext.lookup(topicName);
topicConnection = topicConnectionFactory.createTopicConnection("Administrator", "123");
topicSession = topicConnection.createTopicSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
topicSubscriber = topicSession.createSubscriber(topic);
AppletSubscriber as = new AppletSubscriber(listener);
topicSubscriber.setMessageListener(as); // here's were the exception is thrown
Here's the exception & stack trace:

thanks in advance, this is driving me nuts.

The reason you get this is that you cannot use MessageListeners within a J2EE environment. The J2EE specification says that this method should not work from within EJBs. If you wish to have asynchronous message delivery from an EJB you need to use EJB 2.0s Message Driven Beans.
Hope this helps.
