Sometimes ORA-00904: invalid column

Hello,
Some times when i am running a query I get 'ORA-00904: invalid column name'. Next times i run exactly the same query the query runs well for a few times. And in an unpredictable way, exactly the same query fails again.
I am using Oracle 8i 8.1.7
Can someone help me out?

The error does not occur in just a single query. There are multiple query's in whitch the error sometimes occurs. We have been looking for similarity's in the query's, but we haven't found one so far. It seems to be the error does occur more often in query's wich are using a databaselink.
The error does also occur in update statements.
This is an example query:
SELECT DISTINCT
zt.rowid,
zt.id,
zt.begindatum_tim,
zt.zorgtraject_id,
zt.SSPC_ZORGTYPE_ID,
stp_lees_dbc(zrgt.ID, zrgt.initieel_sspc_id, zt.ID)AS dbc,
stp_lees_dbc_code(zrgt.ID, zrgt.initieel_sspc_id, zt.ID) AS dbc_code
FROM
bav_epd_zorgtrajecten zrgt
,bav_epd_ztr_zorgtypen zt
WHERE
zrgt.ID = :parzorgtrajectid
AND zrgt.verwijderd_bln = 'N'
AND zrgt.ID = zt.zorgtraject_id

SELECT PERSON.NAME FROM EMPLOYEIf you look in the documentation, you will see that we need to alias the table in order to make this work:
select e.person.name from employees e

ORA-00904: Invalid column name

Hi all,
some of my OWB generated packages keep returning error
ORA-00904: Invalid column.
When I check run of such packages in OWB Audit Viewer:
1. Selected and inserted no of records is OK
2. There is one error reported the one mentioned above. Unfortunately there is nothing more than "Batch insert" and ORA error no and error code in Error Details
The number of columns and their types and all constraints are the same in DB and OWB repository for both tables that take part in such mapping.
Do you have some ideas where is the problem?
Thanks

I seem to recall this error being spuriously (well unhelpfully) thrown if you tried to UPDATE a key that you used in the ON clause, but I could be mistaken.
For us to recreate this you would need to supply the exact version and scripts to create the tables in question.

ORA-00904: invalid column name - trying to sum

Hi all
probably somrthing really stupid and easy that I'm missing but here goes
I am trying to gather data from 3 tables, 1st one is stock master file - all records are unique key
2nd table is barcodes, product key can occur 2 / 3 times - one for each barcode that is assigned to a product.
3rd table is warehouse stock, again key can occur a few times as there is a key for each stock record
I need to pull the data from 1st two tables and sum the total of warehouse stock for each record pulled.
I know I will get 2 or 3 records for each stock item as each record will return with a different barcode. what I'm trying to eliminate is returning the same records again with a separate row for each set of warehouse stock records.
If I run
select rmdept||','||rmstyl||','||rmcolr||','||rmsize||','||rmvatc||','||rmshgp||','||

I get all the data I want, but duplicate rows for every stock record

In order for testtune to create a function-based index on a table in hrdmadm's schema that uses a function in testtune's schema, testtune must have the system privilege GLOBAL QUERY REWRITE and SELECT privileges on hrdmadm's table, and hrdmadm must have execute privileges on testtune's function, and the function name must be prefaced with the schema name when creating the index.
So, have someone with DBA privileges:
GRANT GLOBAL QUERY REWRITE TO testtune;
Have hrdmadm:
GRANT SELECT ON bkg_empl_asgnmt to testtune;
Have testtune:
GRANT EXECUTE ON test_func_index to hrdmadm;
Then, testtune can:
create index testtune.test_func_index on
hrdmadm.bkg_empl_asgnmt(substr(testtune.CalcDistFctUnit(GHRS_INTERNAL_EMPL_ID_NO, HOME_ORGANIZATION, EFFECTIVE_DATE, HOME_AGENCY),1,5))

Getting ora:00904 invalid indentifier error while running i query

Hi,
I have a remote database and local database both are oracle 10gR2.Now i have written the below mentioned query in my local database and is working fine,but in case remote database it is throughing error ora:00904 invalid indentifier.
I had export the dump from remote db and import it on my local db and i tried the same and it is working fine on local after that also.
As i believe that this error usually come for column name not exist or column name or it's length or for any special character in column name of the table.But as i said it is working fine on local db but not in remote db though i am using the same dump for local and remote.
Though when i am querying the table i can able to fetch data for the any record but when i am using the below mentioned query for the same i am getting the error.As i am doing this to fecth the data for child parent related relationship.
Can any one suggest is there anything related to configaration or something else.
Please do let me know if you do want some more information on the query what i am doing inside of it.
Rgds,

IR: ORA-20001: get_dbms_sql_cursor error ORA-00904: : invalid identifier

Hi everyone,
has anyone else had this error which has been driving me round the bend during the last three days?
I have an interactive report which used to work fine.
Now it happens (when the page loads/a filter is en- or disabled) that - from time to time, but unpredictable - I receive
ORA-20001: get_dbms_sql_cursor error ORA-00904: : invalid identifier
The report is based on a table function.
I will try to set up a testcase and post the link here, but so far I haven't managed to force the error to occur.
But maybe someone else has already bumped into this kind of error? I would be grateful for any hints!
Best regards,
Sabine
Application Express 4.1.0.00.32

Hi Jari,
I changed the type definition (the return type of the table function) and extended the select list in the source of the IR.
I do not use 'select *' but reference every column explicitly. So APEX easked me whether to add the new column.
I also tried deleting in recreating the region, but no luck.
Any more ideas?
Best regards,

Advanced Conditions causing ORA-00904 invalid identifier

I have another weird thing going on...
It may be the complexity of the data I'm pulling, but I'm going to simplify the problem first...
I have several conditions in my workbook that I need to be true regardless then I need the following (this is a payroll thing):
((Total Regular Hours > 40 AND Total Overtime = 0) OR (Total Overtime > 0 AND (Total Regular Hours - Total Overtime Hours) <> 40))
So, I'm using Discoverer Plus 10g and if I create separate conditions for Total Overtime > 0 and (Total Regular Hours - Total Overtime Hours) <> 40) it will work, but if I try to combine them into one condition (so I can then add my OR and the other 2 conditions) it gives me the "ORA-00904 invalid identifier" error and will not run.
The only way I've been able to do it is to create 3 conditions and 2 worksheets. That way, I can add (Total Regular Hours > 40 AND Total Overtime = 0) in one condition and apply it to one sheet; then I the other 2 separate conditions can be applied to the other worksheet.
I hate having to have 2 worksheets when I should be able to create an advanced condition... anyone have any ideas?
Regards,
Emily

It is actually a typo in the message because I have a calculated column that calculates the difference... sorry.
I did try the idea of running the SQL that was generated in SQL Developer and it doesn't look right.
It did all my other conditions under the where, but then where I would have thought it should do another and it did a WHERE.... see below. (I only pasted from the from statement on to save room)
FROM HRBG_PEOPLE_ASSIGNMENT o393615, APPS.PTEN_PAY_BEE_V o393616
WHERE ( (o393616.ASSIGNMENT_ID = o393615.ASSIGNMENT_ID))
AND (o393615.BG_SECURITY_FLAG_CODE = 'Y')
AND (o393616.DATE_EARNED BETWEEN o393615.ASSIGNMENT_START_DATE AND o393615.ASSIGNMENT_END_DATE AND o393616.DATE_EARNED BETWEEN o393615.RECORD_START_DATE AND o393615.RECORD_END_DATE)
AND (o393616.DATE_EARNED IN (:"Date Earned Dates"))
AND (o393616.EFFECTIVE_DATE = :"Period End Date")))))
WHERE ( ( NP100 ) > 40 AND ( NP101 ) = 0)
AND ( ( NP104 ) <> 40 AND ( NP105 ) > 0)
ORDER BY E393849 ASC ;
Do you see the WHERE that I marked in BOLD? That should be an AND...
I even tried creating one crazy long condition to include everything in one and still got the same error and it produced the same SQL. I am thinking it has to do with the fact that I'm actually showing group totals for Regular Hours and Overtime and then subtracting them to get the difference. It all breaks when I add that difference in with the others. If I keep it separate, it does fine.
By the way, the error I get when running just the SQL is "not all variables bound"
Thanks,
Emily

Hi,
Nice formatting!
The first value in the INSERT clause looks suspicious:
MERGE INTO tfc         cb1
               INSERT
                    (cb1.fund_cbs,
                     cb1.asgn_cs,
                     cb1.cbs,
                     cb1.fs,
                     cb1.bfs,
                     cb1.acn,
                     cb1.efd,
                     cb1.cre_usr_id,
                     cb1.uui
               VALUES
                    (tfc.NEXTVAL,     ...If tfc is a table name, then it can't be a sequnece name.
Perhaps you meant something like
...            VALUES
                    (tfc_id_seq.NEXTVAL,     ...I hope that solves the problem.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) for the tables as they exist before the MERGE.

When Import get Error-00904 Invalid Column Name

Hi all,
I'm using DI Premium 3.0 with Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 repository. I'm trying to connect Oracle 8.1.4.7.1 (8i) but when i going to import tables get Error-00904 Invalid Column Name. If i connect to Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 don't get error.
Trying from DI XI R2 (11.7) with Oracle 10.2.0.2.0 repository, to connect Oracle 8.1.4.7.1 (8i) don´t get error!
Is error from Oracle repository version?
Thanks in advance.

Error ora-604 ora-904 invalid column name

Someone knows how to fix this problem?
Error ora-604 ora-904 invalid column name.

Asif, to add another question to the list of things to check. Is the version of the exp utility you are using to perform the export operation the same version as the database? If not, that would explain the error.
If you are trying to export using a newer version of the export utility that generally will not work. You should switch to using the db version.
If you are exporting using an older version because the target is an older version then usually you need to run the catexp# where # is the version number script for the target version that Oracle provides in the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin directory.
