SELECT LIST throws error for WHERE CLAUSE

Hi All
I am struck with, what looking like a trivial error, but I don't know how to settle it down. I am new to Apex (3.1). I am experimenting with. I have Oracle 10g running on Windows.
I have a dropdown item in one of my pages (SELECT list). I am trying to display few items there dynamically (depends on the user who logged in). I set it as SELECT LIST and entered the following query in "List of Values".
select enrolled_course display_value, course_id return_value
from COMP_LIST
where stu_id = :APP_USER
order by 1I got the following error.
1 error has occurred
LOV query is invalid, a display and a return value are needed, the column names need to be different. If your query contains an in-line query, the first FROM clause in the SQL statement must not belong to the in-line query.Then, I tried the step by step instruction from "Oracle® Application Express - Advanced Tutorials -Release 3.1.2 -E10497-02". Using creating list of values creation as seperately. That too, I got the same error.
I am doing it wrong I suppose. Please correct me. Thanks in advance
With Regards

Thanks Andy
When I hardcoded, it worked.
select enrolled_course display_value, course_id return_value
from COMP_LIST
--where-- --emp_id-- = --100--
where stu_id = 100
order by 1
{code}
:APP_USER is not working then, Now, I should be using v('APP_USER')? When I tried v('APP_USER'), I got the same error back! The COMP_LIST is a view. Is there some problem with the view then?
But again, I am able to select from it without WHERE (now with hardcoded value also)....

It is STU_ID and not EMP_ID

That is correct.
Datamover tries to insert data in PSOPRDEFN and rows exist with these keys.
To avoid this you can add the following statement in your script:
SET UPDATE_DUPS;
This will update the values other than the keys if a row already exists in the database with the keys in the dat file.
I can advice you to buy the new book of Jim Marion, PeopleSoft PeopleTools Data Management and Upgrade Handbook
http://www.amazon.com/PeopleSoft-PeopleTools-Management-Upgrade-Handbook/dp/0071787925/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1353575734&sr=8-1&keywords=jim+j+marion
It has an entire chapter on how to use datamover.

Problem: Error in WHERE clause. Unrecognized clause or element.

Hi All,
i have a replicat and tried to filter some rows:
This was my MAP-Statement in the param-file:
MAP GOMS3KT, TARGET goldengate.txlog,
COLMAP (
tsid = #IDTIMESTAMP(),
syskey = SYSKEY,
type = "KT",
trxtimestamp = #TRAILJULIANTS(),
acquirer = #ACQFILTER(acq-id-schema_1,acquirer-id_1,log-item-length_2),
origin = #ASSERTDEFAULT2(bezugssystem_1 ," " ,log-item-length_2),
issuer = #MANIPULATEISSUER(bezugssystem_1, ISS-ID-SCHEMA_1, ISSUER-ID_1, -1, log-item-length_2)
) where (bezugssystem_1 = "PSVL");
At runtime, i got this error:
2013-02-25 09:09:42 WARNING OGG-00869 No unique key is defined for table 'TXLOG'. All viable columns will be used to represent the
key, but may not guarantee uniqueness. KEYCOLS may be used to define the key.
...(bezugssystem_1 = "PSVL")...
^
Error in WHERE clause. Unrecognized clause or element.
The column 'bezugssystem_1' does exist, i mapped it before to a the oracle column 'origin'
What is wrong here ??
I i delete the where clause all works fine!

Edited by: Felix_GG on 26.02.2013 18:25

Of course, in the where clause should stand a '=' or what i wrote (but is not able to show) the signs for NOT EQUAL, a 'less than' followed by a 'greater then'

OFSAA CRM ERROR 16616 - Are there any list of errors for consult

Hi gys
OFSAA CRM ERROR 16616 - Are there any list of errors for consult about CRM ?
regards
Daniel Daniele

@chris_l -- yeah I was worried that might be the case, still I'm not sure if that explains why it keeps failing the burn process part way through?
I've tried this and that in Linux but without much luck. I'm still quite a noob with a lot of Linux things and this is the first time I'm trying anything to do with optical disks/drives etc. so I'm learning as I go...
The disk that failed in Windows but was 'readable' in Linux did just pass a run through ddrescue -- i.e. it created an output file okay and did not report any errors in the process.
However when I mounted the resulting image and tried to copy the files across the first folder reported an "input/ouput error" (just using gui copy+paste in Thunar file manager)
...the other folders did copy okay though!
It seems as though it's the lead-in / lead-out and disc finalizing process that are the main fail points with the burn operation. I don't know if InfraRecorder is any good or likely to be the problem? Anyway the drive cam with Nero (inc. Linux version) so might give either or both of these a go too, if they don't work either then at least I wont be short of something to rest a mug o' tea on
@ chris_l (again) -- the Plextor drives do have a "Vari-Rec" feature which allows a user to 'tweak' the laser power / output level so I might try this too.
@alphaniner -- thanks I've not seen this package before, I'm guessing it's a bit like cdparanoia but for dvds?!
Thanks for the help!
(pre-post) UPDATE >>> I've just mounted my Windows partition in Linux so I'll have a crack at burning the files using cdrtools before I resort to throwing the dvd drive out of the window and chasing it around the yard with a lump hammer

Beginner: Getting syntax error on WHERE clause in SELECT

I'm very new to php and mySQL. Am using DW master/detail to generate to basic code I need. One thing I need to do is modify a select statement in the master to include a WHERE clause to limit the selection to a particular value in one field.
I'm getting a syntax error with the WHERE clause I'm adding to the map select statement.
This is the portion of the error message showing the error location:
'WHERE Group='Community' LIMIT 0, 10'
The php that generated the select is:
$query_maps = "SELECT * FROM tblmaps ORDER BY tblmaps.DispSeq";
$query_limit_maps = sprintf("%s WHERE Group='%s' LIMIT %d, %d", $query_maps, $selectGroup, $startRow_maps, $maxRows_maps);
This approach to creating the select statement is from the code generated for the master page. It adds the LIMIT clause. All I did was add the "WHERE Group='%s' and the $selectGroup variable which comes from earlier code. You can see that the $selectGroup variable is equal to the "Community: group.
I've scanned the web to see what syntax error I might be making but haven't found anything that explains it.
The full resolved select statement is:
SELECT * FROM tblmaps ORDER BY tblmaps.DispSeq WHERE Group='Community' LIMIT 0,10
What am I not seeing?
Tom

Thanks. Make sense but changing that didn't help.
Here's the error message I'm getting:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'Group='Community' ORDER BY tblmaps.DispSeq LIMIT 0, 10' at line 1
The full select (from a debugging ECHO I inserted) is:
SELECT * FROM tblmaps WHERE Group='Community' ORDER BY tblmaps.DispSeq LIMIT 0, 10
Note that when I take the WHERE clause out, there is no syntax error.

Cascading Select Lists - Not Working for me

I am trying to implement Denes Kubicek's Ajax Cascading Select List solution.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:119
But it is not working for me.
I'm a newbie to APEX and checked the forum for advice on cascading select lists. I saw the thread for
"Cascading Select Lists - Not Working" posted by sue and the replies by Varad Acharya, but I'm still
having issues of not seeing the alerts, not able to run the pl/sql process in SQL Workshop, and not
getting the expected results.
I have a list of countries (US - USA, CA - CANADA, etc.) and a list of states for each country. When a
user selects a country I would like to show the list of states within that country.
This is what I've done so far:
Defined an application process:

How to validate a user input for where clause?

I have a situation to validate a where clause which is input by the user.
Because the query will be run against huge tables and we need to notify the user if they input the clause is not valid.
I use the below query to try:
Select 'A' from blablabla where user_input_where_clause and 1=0;
however, it can not capture the error when the user input:
'name=123' while the right condition should be name='123'.
Can you pls advise ?

In this particular case, Oracle will not even try to run the SQL statement because of the syntax error. IF the WHERE condition supplied does not make sense, Oracle will not execute the statement, so it does not matter if the query accesses huge tables.
SQL> Select 'A' from blablabla where 'name=123' and 1=0 ;
Select 'A' from blablabla where 'name=123' and 1=0
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00920: invalid relational operator
SQL>IF you have a restriction as to what type/value can user specify for the where condition (asuming it would make sense to SQL engine), you would have to do it before submitting to the database.
Note, however, that user could specify any condition they like, having potentially damaging effects.

Syntax error in WHERE clause

Hi all,
see the code.
data: itab type cdhdr occurs 0,
        wa type cdhdr.
data: begin of itab1 occurs 0,
         lifnr like lfa1-lifnr,
          ktokk like lfa1-ktokk,
        end of itab1.
select * from cdhdr into table itab.
select lifnr ktokk from lfa1 into table itab1
    for all entries in itab
      where lifnr = itab-objectid.
when i go for Syntax check i am getting Error like " when using the addition for all entries in itab " the fields LIFNR and ITAB-OBJECTID must have the same type and lengh.
so, i have done the following correction in WHERE clause.
select lifnr ktokk from lfa1 into table itab1
    for all entries in itab
      where lifnr = itab-objectid(10).
But this time i am geting warning in German language.
my correction is correct or not ?
Pls guide me ..
Thanks
Krupali.

select lifnr ktokk from lfa1 into table itab1
for all entries in itab
where lifnr = itab-objectid(10).
But this time i am geting warning in German language.
my correction is correct or not ?
Answer is your correction is not correct.
we cannot use offset with for all entries.
you can do this way first take the itab-objectid(10) in some other field like temp than fire for all entries on temp.
like below.
select lifnr ktokk from lfa1 into table itab1
for all entries in itab
where lifnr = itab-temp."<-- see here

How to change access path for 'where' clause by using HINTS?

I searched a loooot of posts and haven't found a solution for my case. I don't even know whether it is possible or not. Is it possible to change the sequence of Oracle "Predicate Information"?

              hh24:mi:ss'))I have 2 conditions in my 'where' clause, one is date range and the other is 'online_users_result in (1, -1)'. It seems that Oracle filter the table by using 'online_users_result in (1, -1)' first, then access it through date range.
What I want to do is firstly filtering the table by using date range followed by other things. How can I do it?
Any clue or help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

It seems that Oracle filter the table by using 'online_users_result in (1, -1)' first, then access it through date range. No it's not.
What I want to do is firstly filtering the table by using date range followed by other things. How can I do it?That's precisely what it's doing now.
It is using the T_IDX index to quickly find all rows that satisfy the range predicate on the date column.
And then filter those rows to only retrieve the ones that satisfy the other predicate (... in (1,-1)).

Select multiple value in a where clause

hello,
im using developer 2000.
suppose I have several values in a data grid. I want to use all of them in a where clause using IN operator or something. anybody knows how to do that. what I do is always insert all values in the grid into a temporary table and use that table in the where clause. is there any other easy, effective way of doing that?
select *
from table1
where category in (-- I want to select multiple values form a data grid here--)
thanks in advance.
bonny.

Hello Bonny,
You might consider the use of PL/SQL Collection Types
The first step in the process is to create a type and a table of that type.
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE DateType IS OBJECT ( Arg1 DATE );
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TableList IS TABLE OF DateType;
DECLARE
list1 tablelist;
BEGIN
SELECT datetype (arg1)
BULK COLLECT INTO list1
FROM table1;
FOR c1 IN (SELECT arg1
FROM TABLE (CAST (list1 AS tablelist)))
LOOP
---- Your code -----;
END LOOP;
END;

The to_date() error in where clause of proc code

In a proc code, firstly I use "SELECT to_char(f_date_1, 'DDMONYY') into :char_date FROM TBL_1;" to get the value of f_date_1.
Then I use "SELECT ID FROM TBL_2 WHERE f_date_2 = :char_date;" to get the value of ID according char_date.
In table, the type of f_date_1 and f_date_2 is DATE.
char_date is "char char_date[10]".
My question is:
1. If I use WHERE f_date_2 = to_date(:char_date, 'DDMONYY'), it will prompt: "-1861, ORA-01861: literal does not match format string".
2. If I use WHERE f_date_2 = :char_date, it will work well.
Since the type of f_date_2 is DATE and the type of char_date is CHAR, why does to_date(:char_date, 'DDMONYY') have problems?
Thanks.

I was not able to duplicate the error you got, but I did spot something that may be affecting your results:
*Set up test table using HR.EMPLOYEES*
create table TEST_DATE as
select employee_id, last_name, hire_date
from employees
var char_date char(10)
begin
select to_char(hire_date,'DDMONYY') into :char_date
from test_date
where rownum = 1;
end;
*case 1*
select *
from test_date
where hire_date = to_date(:char_date,'DDMONYY')
*case 2*
select *
from test_date
where hire_date = :char_date --> this assumes a implicit char to date conversionWhile I got case 2 to work, it assumes that the database is configured to recognize the character mask as a valid string format. If you tried running that query on a different database, this query may fail as well.
To verify why case 1 may not have worked, do a quick check:
select :char_date from dualIt is possible that you may have applied a different character mask between your first query:
>
SELECT to_char(f_date_1, 'DDMONYY') into :char_date FROM TBL_1;
>
and the WHERE clause of your second query:
>
WHERE f_date_2 = to_date(:char_date, 'DDMONYY')

Tuning Select Statement . field sequence and where clause

Hi All
Are there any general guidelines how to write select < field sequence >where clause < field sequence ? Is that shuld be in order of the field sequence in tables?
And how to use this when we have a view or a inner - join . Is that separate from normal select statement that is using FOR ALL ENTRIES.
Please let me know any general guidelines available on this,
Amol

Hello Amol,
I have another hint:
The statement FOR ALL ENTRIES will package the select statements for every five entries in the internal table. So in comparison to the following code sequence...
LOOP AT itab.
   SELECT * FROM table WHERE key = itab-key.
ENDLOOP
the number of select statements is reduced to 20% with
SELECT * FROM table INTO TABLE ...
     FOR ALL ENTRIES IN itab
     WHERE key = itab-key
If I'm expecting a <i>huge</i> amount of data a go a step further and create my own packages by building a range table with around 100-500 entries and execute a select there...
LOOP AT itab.
   IF counter < 500.
      APPEND itab-key TO range-tab.   " just code example
   ENDIF.
   IF count >= 500.
      SELECT * FROM table APPENDING TABLE ...
         WHERE key IN range_tab
   ENDIF.
   " adjust and calculate counter
ENDLOOP.
* Don't forget last select statement after loop
Best wishes,
Florin

Hi,
From looking at the documented examples
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db92/db92.drilldown?levelnum=2&toplevel=a96540&method=FULL&chapters=0&book=&wildcards=1&preference=&expand_all=&verb=&word=MERGE#a96540
and on http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:5318183934935
I think that you cannot use the WHERE in your MERGE like that on 9i...
Something else I want to warn you for:
It's a bad idea to store your date and time separated as strings! You'll run into troubles sooner or later, for 100%...
Use a single DATE column instead, in which you store both the date and time components..

Urgent Help - Getting Org_id for where clause

HI All,
I am trying to customise "Out of office rule" - Delegate LOV sql, it works fine from responsibility e.g. iProcurment etc. but not from HomePage worklist. The problem is getting the Org_id of the user logged-in I have tried following different methods:
From VO:
(1) FND_GLOBAL.ORG_ID
(2) fnd_profile.value('ORG_ID')
From CO: by setting the where clause
(1) oadbtransaction.getOrgId()
(2) oapagecontext.getOrgId()
But every time same problem some how it's not working from Application HomePage but it will work fine if user will click on any responsibility and then come back to homepage.
Please help it's an urgent issue.
Thanks!

Anoop,
That what are the options to get the Org id on the home page for the user logged-in as user can set "Out of Office Rules" with out clicking on any responsibility ...directly from the home page.
Thanks

Select with timestamp in the where-clause don't work after importing data

Hello,
I have to databases (I call them db1 and db2, they have the same datastructure) and exported some data from the table "rfm_meas"from db1. Later on I imported that dataset into the "rfm_meas"-table of db2. The table contains a col with the datatype "timestamp(6)" and checking the success of the import looks fine:
(executed on db2)
SELECT
id,acqtime
from
rfm_meas
WHERE
box_id=1
AND id>145029878
Returns two rows:
ID ACQTIME
145029883 01.06.10 10:30:00,000000000
145029884 01.06.10 10:50:00,000000000
It seems there are valid timestamps as I expected.
But if I now want to select all rows from box_id=1 which are newer than e.g. 25-may-2010 I would try this:
SELECT
id,acqtime
from
rfm_meas
WHERE
box_id=1
AND acqtime>=to_timestamp('25-05-2010 17:10:00,000','DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS,FF3')
And it returns ... nothing!? If I execute the same query on db1 it works correctly.
I guess db1 and db2 has different codepages!?
If I insert some rows from a PL/SQL script in db2 into the "rfm_meas"-table, querys like the one above works fine. Therefore i guess, during importing the data there must be something wrong, so I cann see the timestamp, but can't use it.
How can i fix that? Any ideas?
If someone need more details I will provide it.
Regards
Steffen

Importing timestamp columns appears to use to_date instead of to_timestamp
