Error while renaming column in Apex 3.2.1

Hi,
I am getting the following error while renaming column in Oracle Apex 3.2.1 through SQL workshop:
"ORA-24344: success with compilation error"
Interestingly, it only gives an error when I rename the column again to its original name. For example, if I renaming the column X to X1 (no problem) but renaming back to X, I get this error. Same is true for X to X1 to X2 without any issues but renaming back from X2 to either X1 or X, I get the same error.
Any insight into this issue would be very helpful and greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Milaan

I've moved a step ahead, getting the new apex screen at http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/ and can also login to my application. However there is no image for Application Express on http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/ and I cannot click on the Login button. Hitting http://127.0.0.1:8080/i/ does list down the images. Any clue on what could be the problem?
For others reference: I'm not sure what was wrong, but I tried the entire steps again, with the 2 changes: shutdown the listener and job process ( in step 3.1) before running 'apexins' and second that I installed on SYSAUX and not USERS (in step 4)
1. Downloaded apex_3.2.1.zip to C:\Software
2. unzip apex_3.2.1.zip to C:\Software\apex
3. started command prompt and set these variables
set ORACLE_HOME=C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server
set ORACLE_SID=xe
set ORACLE_PATH=C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\bin
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\lib

JDev 10g, VO Extension is giving error

When I tried extending the seeded VO, its giving error at "Step 4 of 7". Error is "Each row in the query result columns must be mapped to a unique Query Attribute in the Mapped Entity Columns"...Even I dont modify the base query, its giving the same error. Any solution?
Thanks
Raj

Its JDev10g bug...VOs with transient columns will give such error. To solve, that try renaming the alias name in sql query. Eg: PeopleName => change this alias to People_Name

Creation of triggers using CFQUERY tag is giving error

Hi,
I am creating triggers and stored procedure on ORACLE data
base using <CFQUERY>.
<CFQUERY DATASOURCE="CRM">
create or replace trigger AWC_ACCOUNTINGPERIODSID_TRI
before insert on AWC_ACCOUNTINGPERIODS
for each row
begin
select AWC_ACCOUNTINGPERIODSID_SEQ.nextval into :new.AP_ID
from dual;
end;
</CFQUERY>
But the created trigger is not compiled, it is giving the
following error
"Line # = 1 Column # = 6 Error Text = PLS-00103: Encountered the
symbol "" when expecting one of the following: begin case declare
exit for goto if loop mod null pragma raise return select update
while with <an identifier> << close current delete
fetch lock insert open rollback savepoint set sql execute commit
forall merge pipe The symbol "" was ignored."
If I edit that trigger in enterprise manager console by
pressing space and compile that, it is working fine with out any
error. If i run the above statement in sql *plus, It is working
fine with out any error. Can you please tell me why this is
happening if i run it using cfquery tag and also the possible
solutions.
Thanks in advance,
Vinod

I can't tell you why your particular trigger is failing, but
here is some "typical" reasons from Oracle's metalink.
Common reasons for PLS-00103
Error Summary
PLS-00103 Encountered the symbol "%s" when expecting one of
the following (Oerr
LS.103)
Error Details
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Error: PLS-00103
Text: Encountered the symbol "%s" when expecting one of the
following:
Cause: This error message is from the parser. It found a
token
(language element) that is inappropriate in this context.
Action: Check previous tokens as well as the one given in the
error message. The line and column numbers given in the
error
message refer to the end of the faulty language construct.
PLS-00103 errors can often be difficult to localize what the
error is so here are some
common reasons for PLS-00103 errors..
A very common reason for PLS-00103 is when a reserved word is
used, with a reserved word
means words that names an oracle object or a built in
procedure, for example MOD, ABS,
TABLE, VIEW etc..
When trying to use SQL*PLUS commands in PL/SQL procedures,
like SPOOL, SET and other
commands that belongs to SQL*PLUS can result in this error.
Using parameter declaration at the IN/OUT clause in a
procedure, this works in versions
prior to 8.0.4, but it just ignored the declaration.
Using DDL commands in PL/SQL will fail in PLS-00103, the way
to use DDL commands is
to build a procedure in dynamic sql.
When creating package specification and a package body, a
PLS-00103 error will occur
if there is no slash, '/', after the package specification.

Crystal Reports XI: Invalid column name error

Hello!
I have a crystal report using a SQL command that is getting the following error (occasionally):
Failed to retrieve data from the database.
Details: ADO Error Code: 0x80040e14
Source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Description: Invalid column name 'IPCSKUGroup'.
SQL State: 42S22
Native Error: 207 [Database Vendor Code: 207]
I say occasionally because if i go to Database>> Log on or Log off server and log off the target server and then rerun the report, it will work. If i refresh the report with different parameters, i get the error.
I'm running Crystal Reports XI version 11.0.0.1282 on Windows XP SP2 32-bit. The data is in a SQL Server 2000 database.
This is the portion of the query causing the problem:
(drop/clear temp tables and initiallize a few variables with parameters)
(...other queries putting together the temp table #WorkingTotals) - This part works fine because the report runs if i remove the following portion.
select wtt.QtrMax,QuarterName,Year,wtt.IPCSKUGroup as IPCSKUNum,ServicePriceSuggested,PcsBilled,BilledRevenue,PriceIndex,StdRevenue,
(select sum(TT.BilledRevenue) from
(select Top 4 wt2.BilledRevenue
from #WorkingTotals2 wt2
where wt2.IPCSKUGroup = wtt.IPCSKUGroup and wt2.QtrMax <= wtt.QtrMax order by wt2.QtrMax desc)as TT)
as M12Revenue
from #WorkingTotals wtt
The entire query works fine when I run it in SQL Query Analyzer. But Crystal has an issue with the way i'm figuring the M12Revenue field. The M12Revenue is a moving 12 month revenue which is the sum of the revenue for the past 4 quarters for each quarter.
This is what i've tried thus far:
Putting the entire query into a stored procedure
Storing what gets stored in #WorkingTotals into a database table rather than a temp one
Renaming columns to various different things.
Each of those still resulted in the error.
Thanks for the help!!!
Wes

Hi Wes,
What does SQL Profiler show you when the error happens?
Try using ODBC to see if it also errors, may be an issue in MS's MDAC and the OLE DB driver. MS usually updates MDAC with all Patches but you may want to verify you are using the latest version.
Thank you
Don

Rename column in Oracle 9i

Can we rename column in Oracle 9i?
Thanks,
Alex

I don't think it should be that complicated unless you have any contraints to it. Do you have any foreign keys that are referencing to this particular table ? Also let me know what syntax are you using for dropping the column ?
Also look at the following example, try these things on some test/dummt table first.
Dropping a Column: Example
===========================
This statement illustrates the drop_column_clause with CASCADE CONSTRAINTS. Assume table t1 is created as follows:
CREATE TABLE t1 (
pk NUMBER PRIMARY KEY,
fk NUMBER,
c1 NUMBER,
c2 NUMBER,
CONSTRAINT ri FOREIGN KEY (fk) REFERENCES t1,
CONSTRAINT ck1 CHECK (pk > 0 and c1 > 0),
CONSTRAINT ck2 CHECK (c2 > 0)
An error will be returned for the following statements:
/* The next two statements return errors:
ALTER TABLE t1 DROP (pk); -- pk is a parent key
ALTER TABLE t1 DROP (c1); -- c1 is referenced by multicolumn
-- constraint ck1
Submitting the following statement drops column pk, the primary key constraint, the foreign key constraint, ri, and the check constraint, ck1:
ALTER TABLE t1 DROP (pk) CASCADE CONSTRAINTS;
If all columns referenced by the constraints defined on the dropped columns are also dropped, then CASCADE CONSTRAINTS is not required. For example, assuming that no other referential constraints from other tables refer to column pk, then it is valid to submit the following statement without the CASCADE CONSTRAINTS clause:
ALTER TABLE t1 DROP (pk, fk, c1);

Renaming columns in 8i

I have tried in vain to rename a column in 8i. There are no good examples out there. Here's my code
SQL> DESC KKQA_CLINIC_CD
Name Null? Type
CLINIC_CD NOT NULL VARCHAR2(15)
REC_EFFENDDT NOT NULL DATE
REC_EFFDT NOT NULL DATE
IDX_NM VARCHAR2(60)
DEPT VARCHAR2(30)
SUBDEPT VARCHAR2(30)
CLINIC_CD_DESC VARCHAR2(150)
MIM_CODES_CLINIC VARCHAR2(1)
HOSPITAL_BASED VARCHAR2(15)
REG_SOURCE VARCHAR2(15)
SQL> ALTER TABLE KKQA_CLINIC_CD ADD (CLINIC_CD_EFFENDDT DATE);
Table altered.
SQL> UPDATE KKQA_CLINIC_CD SET CLINIC_CD_EFFENDDT=REC_EFFENDDT;
0 rows updated.
A second attempt to rename another col, yeilds error:
ALTER TABLE KKQA_CLINIC_CD SET CLINIC_CD_EFFDT=REC_EFFDT
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02000: missing UNUSED keyword
I just can't seem to find any meaningful examples or substance on this problem particularly ora-02000
I have tried the "unused" keyword example, it basically deletes a col. Can someone help, I am thoroughly puzzled.

Hi
Renaming a column is not supported in 8i.

PS: the syntax is "ALTER TABLE <table name> RENAME COLUMN <old column name> TO <new column name>"

Renaming columns resulting in breakage of already existing reports

Hi
We recently upgraded from 10g to 11g and we faced the following issue related to trailing spaces:
In 10g we had trailing spaces for few columns which accounts for say around 300 in number. After consistency check, these trailing spaces were shown as warnings in 10g and did not error out any reports. But in 11g, these trailing spaces were shown as errors and resulting in the breakage of already existing reports. To avoid this, we have to delete the trailing spaces along with the aliases. After this, the only process we are aware of, is to re-pull the renamed columns in the existing reports to make them error free. Now we have around 200 reports using these columns and it requires good amount of manual effort to go in. I would like to know, is there any better solution other than re-pulling these columns to keep the reports error free.
Any suggestions on this will be very helpful and greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Rename columns in Presentaion Layer

Hi,
I need to change the column names in the Presentaion Layer. I need only the beginning of the word to be uppercase. Do I have to go to BMM layer and use the rename wizard and get all the columns again to presentation layer. We have a lot of columns so manually doing it would be very time consuming. I am trying to do in Presenation Layer itself using Rename wizard but somehow the 'next' field is not highlighted to go to the next step. Any suggestions? Also if I change any column name in presentation layer manually do I also have to chnage the name in BMM layer as well.

Hi,
Keeping the column names consistent in BMM and presntation layer is best suggested as diffrent names in both the layers can lead to confusion .As Aliastair suggested if you rename in presentation layer then it will create aliases to Old names,If someone delete that alias then you will get view display error in report.So follow a simple approach and keep names consistent in both the layesr unless and until its very urgent to rename columns in presentation layer.
Thanks

Hi
Renaming a column is not supported in 8i.

PS: the syntax is "ALTER TABLE <table name> RENAME COLUMN <old column name> TO <new column name>"

Making field input editable after giving error msg from table event 01

Hi All,
I have a requirement of giving error msg and making that row or the particular field input editable by writing code in table event 01 i.e before saving any record in a z-table i have to chk some condition for a column value and if that condition fails then i have to give error msg and make that column input editable.
I have created a routine for event 01 and written the code to give error msg. But my problem is that column is not becoming input editable. Could you pls tell me how can i make that field editable?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Piyali,
Use SET PARAMETER & GET PARAMETER ID .
You will get it.
Best Regards,
Pravin

Item Open Interface giving error for Org Assignment

We ran the MTL_SYSTEMS_ITEMS_INTERFACE & loaded all the items at master level.
We are having issues in setting at Org level. Cant figure out what the issue as only few records gets assigned & then garbage sets in for remaining records. An SR has been raised & the tech support representative was saying that UOM's are different at master & org levels. Never heard of this issue earlier. I have worked with UOM's different at Master/Org levels.
The UOM's are different at Master & Org Level and in some cases the UOM are different for different Orgs. Attribute Control for Primary/Sec UOM is at Org level. The UOM's belong to the same UOM Class. There are standard conversions defined for all these UOMs.
Any pointers for quick resolution ?

"This page contains the following errors: error on line 1 at column 1: error on line 1 at column 1: Encoding error Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error"

I am getting this error since purchasing my latest book:
“This page contains the following errors: error on line 1 at column 1: error on line 1 at column 1: Encoding error
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error”
This message also appears on some, but not all books I purchased earlier.
I've tried to restart my iPhone (5) and downloaded iBooks (and the books itself) again several times but nothing has changed. I’m also synced the iPhone via iTunes without luck.
It’s the latest version of iBooks from Appstore. The same books on iBooks for iPad and Mac working fine!
iOS 7.0.6
iBooks 3.2 (2083)

Did you Reset your iphone?
