Sort causing ORA-00911

I have a query that works fine, when I add sorting to it, I get failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-00911: invalid character. The report displays an office, county, state, type1, type2, cost. I need it to sort: state, county, type1, type2 in that order. Nothing seems to be working properly with any of these sorts. These fields only contain text data. Using HTMLDB 1.61
Thanks,
Scott

Did you get anywhere with your ORA-00911? Just wondering, as I received a bunch of them the other day when running scripts on htmldb.oracle.com - it seems a special (hidden) character was being appended to my file whenever I uploaded (I had to edit each file after the upload and delete what appeared to be a blank line, at the end of the file).
On another note, did you ever do anything with Crystal Reports and HTMLDB (I see you were asking questions last year - if so write to me at [email protected] )

Can't figure out why: ORA-00911 on dynamic SQL

Hi everyone,
I have a report that is generated with the HTMLDB_ITEM toolkit. The report generates a checkbox, a hidden field, a text field, two select lists, and a select field.
There is a button in the region that activates a process to update two tables with the values in the fields. I have simplified the generated code by putting in variables that allow me to print a meaningful debug statement. The generated statement causes an ORA-00911; invalid character error. However, running the generated statement in the SQL Workshop works fine.
Here is the code (only slightly sanitized):
DECLARE
v_update_string varchar2(2000);
v_project_name varchar2(2000);
v_IT_dependant varchar2(1);
v_gxp_relevant varchar2(1);
v_project_id    varchar2(10);
v_pm_id         varchar2(10);
BEGIN
for i in 1..HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT
loop
v_update_string := null;
v_project_name := HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F03(HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01(i));
v_IT_dependant := HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F04(HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01(i));
v_gxp_relevant   := HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F05(HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01(i));
v_project_id    := HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F02(HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01(i));
v_pm_id         := HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F06(HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01(i));
v_update_string := 'update abc_project set ';
v_update_string := v_update_string || 'project_name = '''   || v_project_name || ''',';
v_update_string := v_update_string || ' it_dependant = ''' || v_IT_dependant|| ''',';
v_update_string := v_update_string || ' gxp_relevant = ''' || v_gxp_relevant|| '''';
v_update_string := v_update_string || ' where id = '      || v_project_id || ';' ;
-- This statement is debug output.
wwv_flow.debug('UPDATE_PROJECT_DATA v_update_string for ABC_PROJECT:' || v_update_string);
execute immediate v_update_string;
v_update_string := null;
v_update_string := 'update abc_project_monthly set ';
v_update_string := v_update_string || 'project_manager = ' || v_pm_id;
v_update_string := v_update_string || ' where project_id = ' || v_project_id || ' and ';
v_update_string := v_update_string || 'trunc(record_date, ''MON'') = trunc(SYSDATE, ''MON'');';
-- This statement is debug output.
wwv_flow.debug('UPDATE_PROJECT_DATA v_update_string contents for
ABC_PROJECT_MONTHLY:' || v_update_string);
execute immediate v_update_string;
end loop;
END;Here is the generated statement from the wwv_flow.debug statement:
0.05: UPDATE_PROJECT_DATA v_update_string for ABC_PROJECT:update abc_project set project_name = 'Test Project 4', it_dependant = 'N', gxp_relevant = 'N' where id = 425;
The next statement is "SHOW ERROR page..."
I have the feeling that I'm barking up the wrong tree. I've not been able to find anything helpful regarding the ORA-00911 error and wonder if I've been mislead and am looking in the wrong place.
As mentioned, running the generated SQL works fine in the SQL Worksop and in SQL Developer, just cut and paste. Could this have something to do with the "execute immedate"? You might have noticed that two statements should be generated, but we never get past the first one.
I would greatly appreciate any thoughts.
Thanks,
Petie

Hi Vikas and Vishal,
Thanks so much for your time in responding to my question.
Removing the extraneous semicolon indeed solved the problem. It was clear, with only a little thought, that with the semicolon in the generated statement the result was something like:
execute immediate update this set that = the_other;;which clearly is a problem.
I will look at the bind variables, Vikas, and start migrating the code in that direction. Thanks for your suggestion.
Yours,
Petie

SQLException : query java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00911: invalid character

Hi folks
I am not sure why this is happening. Only thing I can think of is field table_name has spaces then when I tried trim it does not like it.
Please help
Thanks a lot!
--------Here's the code ---------------
I have simple query (oracle database table names to extract and count the number of rows in each table) . This is the code snippet.
try { // creating a table in the database
// querying mytable
String query;
query = "select table_name from user_tables;";
ResultSet rs = stmt1.executeQuery(query);
ResultSet rs1 =null;
Statement stmt2 = null;
while (rs.next())
System.out.println("table name : " + rs.getString(1) );
rs1 = stmt2.executeQuery("select count(*) from " + rs.getString(1));
} catch (SQLException e)
{ System.out.println("SQLException : query " + e);
}

ORA-00911 invalid character
Cause: Special characters are valid only in certain places. If special characters other than $, _, and # are used in a name and the name is not enclosed in double quotation marks (�), this message will be issued. One exception to this rule is for database names; in this case, double quotes are stripped out and ignored.
Action: Remove the invalid character from the statement or enclose the object name in double quotation marks.
So, I think you problem is a semicolon at then end of your query.
Hope this helps,
Boris

Thanks Luke,
I changed

to
vo.setWhereClause(" USER_NAME=:0");
And that particular segment worked as expected.

ORA-00911: invalid character

I am trying to create a Table of Contents within Crystal Reports 9 from a query and tables in PeopleSoft. I have read many posts about ways to make this possible but I have not yet succeeded. I am currently trying to create a subreport thru the Add Command feature on the database connection. The SQL statement is as follows:

SELECT * FROM <table>
or
DELETE FROM <table>
WHERE <table>.<field> <> <paramter>;

Both of the Add Command SQL statements within Crystal result in the same error. See Below.

sure you can remove it using Replace function or by writing UDF.
as I am seing # is last character..<b>so remove # with " " (single space) and then use the TRIM fucntion.</b>

ORA-00911:invalid character when loading an XML doc to the XMLType column

We have followed this code snippet: http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/java/codesnippet/xmldb/Example_Code.html#createclob
using the CLOB object to load an XML Document which has more 4000 characters to the XMLType column, we got the error -- ORA-00911:invalid character.
Sound likes an encoding issue? any suggestions would be appreciated.
BTW, we're able to use the TopLink's mapping -- Direct-to-Field to insert an XML String (<4000 characters) to the XMLType column.
Thanks!

Try removing the semi-colon at the end of your statement. That is the cause of ORA-911 with DBMS_SQL.PARSE and EXECUTE IMMEDIATE, I don't see why ADO should be any different.

ExecuteBatch ORA-00911 error

Hi ,
I have 2 statements which I am trying to execute in a batch mode :
PreparedStement ps = conn.prepareStatement(
"delete t1 where group_id =? and int_table = 'table1'; " +
"insert into t1" +
" (name,status,id,set,t_name,group,t_code) " +
" values(?,'S',?,?,'XXPRUEAF.EAF_GL_INTERFACE',?,'D');");
ps.setInt(111);
ps.setString('John');
etc.
ps.addBatch();
ps.executeBatch();
At ps.executeBatch my program throws SQL Exception :
Exception : java.sql.BatchUpdateException: ORA-00911: invalid character
Any ideas?
thanks in advance.

That can't be the real code, the ps.set.... statements are incorrect. Please show the real code, as you are probably doing an addBatch without having set all the parameters, thereby leaving a ? in the statement, which is usually what causes this error in a PreparedStatement.

Not quite sure why you're getting that error as your identifiers look ok to me.
However, I would question a couple of things in your query...
e.g. the following types of statements do nothing...
nvl(LGUNAME,'')because an empty string is NULL, so you're just saying "if it's null then make it null"
Also, rownum is a number so:
ROWNUM='1'should be:
ROWNUM=1Don't make oracle have to do extra work by implicitly converting values.

ORA-00911: invalid character using multiple select statements

I am getting an ORA-00911: invalid character error when trying to execute 2 select statements using ODP.NET.
cmd.CommandText = "select sysdate from dual;select sysdate from dual;";
cmd.Connection = conn;
cmd.CommandType = System.Data.CommandType.Text;
conn.Open();
OracleDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
This works in SQL server but for some reason it appears this does not work in Oracle?
If this is the case what is a vaiable workaround? Wrapping the 2 statements in a transaction?
Seems strange that you can't return multiple result sets using in-line sql statements.

Oracle doesn't support passing multiple statements like that, and this is unrelated to ODP.NET.

update listserv_waiting_list SET CONFIRMED = 'YES' WHERE UEMAIL = '[email protected]' and USERID = '1142369642862';
It contains no stange character and rows are inserted successfully in another class of the program that uses the same mechanism. The problem comes when I update the table.
Any idea as to what is wrong? Your help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

buddy, why don't you use a stored procedure and make your update, i hate that upkeeping.

remove the order by and semi-colon (;) from the first select. I hope you know that union operator needs the same set of columns to be selected.
But try avoid creating objects on the fly unless and until it's absolutely necessary and unavoidable.

Hi,
When I try to view data in Data Grid from table that has column name in format underscoreNAMEunderscore I get ORA-00911: invalid character.
As far as I can tell the problem is same with all 2.x versions. Version 1.5.5 works OK.
Is there a way around the problem?
Thank you for your help.
Silvio

I see no answers :-(
Is there a chance this gets listed as a bug and fixed?
Thank you

ORA-00911: invalid character - Calling a function from Java..

Hi to all.. I have an issue when calling an oracle function from Java..
This is my Java code:
final StringBuffer strSql = new StringBuffer();
strSql.append("SELECT GET_TBL('II_2_1_6_5') AS TABLA FROM DUAL;");
st = conexion.createStatement();
rs = st.executeQuery(strSql.toString());
and in the executeQuery a SQLException is throwed:
java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00911: invalid character
I paste the query in TOAD and it works.. :S
anybody knows how can I solve this?

Remove the Semicolon after Dual.
strSql.append("SELECT GET_TBL('II_2_1_6_5') AS TABLA FROM DUAL");
