PL/SQL ERROR MESSAGE

HI,
I TYPE THE FOLLOWING QUERY FOR THE ORDER_INFO VIEW
INSERT INTO orders
(id, orderdate, status, c_id)
VALUES(1, TO_DATE('18-JUN-2006', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 'B', 1);
ORACLE RETURNED THE ERROR MESSAGES AS FOLLOWS:
ERROR AT LINE 1:
ORA-00001: unique constraint (HANDSONXE05.ORDERS_PK) violated

Normally, primary keys will be generated by a sequence, in which case your INSERT statement would use <<sequence name>>.nextval for the ID column. Otherwise, you would have to use an ID that hadn't been used before in the table.

How to check the SQL error message to address the application issue

Dears,
The application runs SQLs against Oracle via oracle client(actually the app is IBM Cognos which shows report and the data is from oracle database). So, for a report which fails to run, I want to check the sql and the error message for this failed sql statement. Where is the message stored, client or server and How to get it?
I know there is a view v$log used to check the sqls ran in database but here I mean the failed sqls....
Thanks,
Ricky Ru

The application only presents the application error message.. And it is not helpful for me to get the root cause..The application uses the Oracle Call Interface to communicate with the database server. OCI calls return a result code to the client. The client is expected to call OCIErrorGet() to get the full error text.
If the client does not do this, or obfuscate the server error, or suppress the server error? Crappy client. The lack of the client to play its role as client, correctly within the documented client-server architecture, is solely the client's problem. Not the server.
For DB2, I could use db2diag to check the log. why oracle can not do this? any thoughts?Because Oracle is not stupid? Why on sweet mother earth waste server resources to track client application errors, on behalf of clients? How does this make ANY sense!?
Oracle server's handles 1000's of SQL executions per second. Just where is it to find sufficient space to log application errors (not database system errors) at that rate? How do you justify that overhead? Using the argument that the application is poorly designed or written? Come on!

SQL Error Message.

When on a message board, and I try to post a comment, this Error Message comes up:
AN ERROR OCCURED WITH THE SQL SERVER. This is not a problem with the
IPS Community Suite, but rather with your SQL server. Please contact your host and copy the
message shown.
What is causing this? Thank you

Hi gingerlee003,
If I understand correctly, you are log on a website or a system. The error message occurs when you trying to post a comment on it.
This issue may occur if the website is not available or under maintenance. The problem seems to be on the website's end, not yours. Either the database is down and their "data" is not retrievable at the moment or the webmaster coded something wrong.
Once their database is back up and running you will be able to see the website again. You can do is wait a bit and try again or contact the webmaster to check for the issue. If you want to troubleshoot this issue, please refer to the log file.By default, the
error log is located at Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.n\MSSQL\LOG\ERRORLOG and
ERRORLOG.n files.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Changing SQL error Message

Hi,
I want to return a relevant Error Message whenever an SQL Exception occurs. For e.g. If a unique Constraint exists i want to return a relevant message like "A record already exists." Can i do the same?
Maybe a good feature to have in the next version of Oracle, if it doesnt exist :)
Regards,

As 3360 points out, you cannot do this at the sql level (and a good thing too), but if you encapsulate all of your DML logic into packages (which is generally a good thing to do), then you can return wehat ever you want as an error message.

Hnadling sql error messages in forms

Hi there,
I have a multi block application. I have a check constraint in the database which checks for value > 0 and not null.
Now in the form if i try to insert/update a null into the column, i get FRM-40735 Onerror raised unhandled exception. When i click on Display error it shows the constraint violated. I want to show the constraint when user clicks on save button i.e commits form.
In the on error trigger, both block and form level i have
DECLARE
     lv_errcod NUMBER := ERROR_CODE;
     lv_errtyp VARCHAR2(300) := ERROR_TYPE;
     lv_errtxt VARCHAR2(800) := ERROR_TEXT;
BEGIN
if lv_errcod = 40509 or 40508 then
          message(' bad update');
else
Message(lv_errtyp||'-'||to_char(lv_errcod)||': '||lv_errtxt);
     Raise form_trigger_failure;
end if;
END;
I dunno why i get unhandled exception.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

I'm not sure what your question is but if it's how to get the same error as
display error, then put in:
display_error in an on_error trigger on the block(s):
for example on_error trigger:
declare
     errnum number := ERROR_CODE;
     errtxt varchar2(80) := ERROR_TEXT;
     errtype varchar2(3) := ERROR_TYPE;
     field_name varchar2(30);
begin
     field_name := substr(:system.trigger_field,instr(:system.trigger_field,'.') + 1);
     mess( 'ERROR ' || field_name || ': ' ||errtxt);
     display_error;
     raise form_trigger_failure;
     end;
**** mess is a routine I include for which you need to define an alert of style NOTE.
PROCEDURE mess (mymess varchar2) is
alert_value number;
BEGIN
set_alert_property('DATA_ALERT',ALERT_MESSAGE_TEXT,
mymess);
     synchronize;
     bell;
     alert_value := SHOW_ALERT('DATA_ALERT');
END;

Error message in triggers

i hav created a trigger which does not allow to delete rows on a particular day of the week. in the trigger body i hav given the raise_application_error with a user defined error number . now when somebody tries to delete a row on that day the the trigger is fired , it gives the error message 'cannot delete on this day with the appropriate user exception numberr.
But after taht it also gives 2 more error codes (error number 6512 and 4088) . why r these generated. This happens only when i use the raise_application_error.

Hi,
ORA - 06512 is a PL/SQL Error Message.
It is possible that your trigger is raising
another exception other then the User Defined.
(Try using SQLERRM and SQLCODE to catch this exception ).
ORA - 04088 is a Trigger Error Message.
This error is generated becuase of the above error. This is a Runtime error which occurs during the execution of a Trigger

We're using 6i, and I'm trying to find the pl/sql error messages, such as ORA-04098. I can never seem to find these and searching on them is no help. Can you point me in the right direction?

Related to the '40508' PL/SQL Error

WHEN I DELETE A RECORD IN THE RUNTIME , IT SHOWS THE '40508' PL/SQL ERROR MESSAGE, WICH SAYS THAT I CAN'T TO INSERT INTO ANY TABLE, BUT I'M NOT INSERTING ANY RECORD IN THAT TRANSACTION, I'M DELETING.
IT HAPPENS WHEN I OPEN A QUERY INTO A GRID LINK TO THE DATA BASE.
I WONDER ?WHY IT HAPPENS?.
null

Is there a trigger for delete on the table you delete from? That one might try to insert something in a table and that record doesn't respect the constrtaints.
Or is there some trigger within your form that tryes to insert something somewhere.
Or have you by mistake created some records in your form before deleting? If that is the case, then FORMS sees those records as records to be inserted and, by default, attempts an insert, that, in your case happens to fail for some reasons.
Best of luck,
BD

Exclude ORA-06512 from error message

Hi all,
Lets have a simple example:
declare
EXP_FRZN_VER EXCEPTION;
begin
if (1=1) then
raise EXP_FRZN_VER;
end if;
exception
when EXP_FRZN_VER then
raise_application_error (-20303, 'Frozen version cannot be modified!');
when OTHERS then
dbms_output.put_line('TEST');
end;
I want to send error message to my web application through raise_application_error.
Error message looks like:
Error report:
ORA-20303: Frozen version cannot be modified!
ORA-06512: at line 12
Question: Is there a way to exclude string "ORA-06512: at line 12" from that message? I need to handle it on DB side...
Thanks
Finec

Your calling code shouldn't get that line as you haven't passed back the error stack in your raise_application_error...
e.g.

3    v_err varchar2(200);
4    procedure x is

9    exception
10      when EXP_FRZN_VER then
11        raise_application_error (-20303, 'Frozen version cannot be modified!');

Logging SQL error

I want to create a permanent file (SQLError.log) where i will be logging all SQL error messages. How can I designate such a file in my code and how to write to it?
Thanks

well you could write a class something like this:
public class MySQLLog {
static String filename = "\logs\sql.log";
public static logError(String err)
File f = new File(filename);
if( !f.exists() )
f.createNewFile();
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(f.toString(),true);
fos.write(err.getBytes());
fod.close();
of course you should probably get the file name from a props file instead of hard coding it. the problem here is you have no log file roll over and other nice features you get with logging packages.

Sql@loader-704 and ORA-12154: error messages when trying to load data with SQL Loader

I have a data base with two tables that is used by Apex 4.2. One table has 800,000 records . The other has 7 million records
The client recently upgraded from Apex 3.2 to Apex 4.2 . We exported/imported the data to the new location with no problems
The source of the data is an old mainframe system; I needed to make changes to the source data and then load the tables.
The first time I loaded the data i did it from a command line with SQL loader
Now when I try to load the data I get this message:
sql@loader-704 Internal error: ulconnect OCISERVERATTACH
ORA-12154: tns:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
I've searched for postings on these error message and they all seem to say that SQL Ldr can't find my TNSNAMES file.
I am able to connect and load data with SQL Developer; so SQL developer is able to find the TNSNAMES file
However SQL Developer will not let me load a file this big
I have also tried to load the file within Apex (SQL Workshop/ Utilities) but again, the file is too big.
So it seems like SQL Loader is the only option
I did find one post online that said to set an environment variable with the path to the TNSNAMES file, but that didn't work..
Not sure what else to try or where to look
thanks

Hi,
You must have more than one tnsnames file or multiple installations of oracle. What i suggest you do (as I'm sure will be mentioned in ed's link that you were already pointed at) is the following (* i assume you are on windows?)
open a command prompt
set TNS_ADMIN=PATH_TO_DIRECTOT_THAT_CONTAINS_CORRECT_TNSNAMES_FILE (i.e. something like set TNS_ADMIN=c:\oracle\network\admin)
This will tell oracle use the config files you find here and no others
then try sqlldr user/pass@db (in the same dos window)
see if that connects and let us know.

Error message in TRFC 'An SQL error occurred when accessing a table'

Hi all,
Can any one tell what this below error message is about in while go into TRFC
'An SQL error occurred when accessing a table'.
and please tell me how to solve this problem.

Hi
Try to see what all tables are accessed by data source. and see if there is any lock on that..
If some other job is accessing that table - then there might be lock on that which is causing failure..
1) Try looking at ST22 dump also..
2) Try to do RSA3 in R/3 and if see if its is fetching any records or not..
Hoep it helps
