SQL Commands - ORA-00900: instruction SQL non valide

Hi everyone,,
i have installed Oracle Xe on a Centos 5.5 host yesteday.
Installation was Ok, i can connect to the web interface on "http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/".
But when i want to use sql comands, what ever the command entered ,i have the "ORA-00900: instruction SQL non valide" message.
I can enter "Show all" command, for exemple, in an terminal view after SQL> prompt , it works... but not in the web interface...
I've tried to import .sql script also, trought the web interface, no much result, no display in the window.
Someone can help me,
thanks,

I'had no error messages during installation, so.. i thing everything is ok.
i try simple commande like "Show all" , this command works on terminal view.
Maybe i could try to reinstall or upgrade the version i use ( oracle-xe-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm )
.. but tomorrow, it's 2AM in Paris , i need to sleep :-)

It gave : ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement

First of all I don't see a procedure header.
Secondly I see you commit inside your procedure. This is a bug.
Thirdly I see you also commit inside a loop. This is also a bug, and needs to be removed asap.
The error indicates a statement doesn't parse. As you don't post the error stack, nor a table definition no one can reproduce the problem.
You need to isolate the statements, one by one, and run them through sql*plus to see what happens.

Query cannot be parsed within the Builder ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement

Why am I getting the error message "Query cannot be parsed within the Builder. If you believe your query is syntactically correct, check the ''generic columns'' checkbox below the region source to proceed without parsing. ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement"
If I run the query in sqlplus it comes back with "no rows selected" which is what I want.
The function is valid and the user has privileges to run it.
Is there something I can do about it?
If I only have any field instead of the function the error goes away.
Can someone explain what is happening? I'm using 2.0.
select
F_TOTAL_AMOUNT_PAID('fees',a.acct_fee_id,0) "Fee Paid"
from fee_component a, fee b, license c
where a.acctfee_id = b.acctfee_id
and b.license_id = c.license_id
and b.fee_status = 'U'
and c.client_id = :P301_CLIENT_ID
Thanks I really appreciate any help I can get.

Does your parsing schema have direct granted privileges to execute the function or privileges via a role? If it is through a role, you need to directly grant execute on the function to your parsing schema.

Trying to produce report but have ERROR ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement

Hi,
I am new to Oracle so have been experimenting with a few things to get the hang of it. I have been trying to produce a report, but keep getting the error: ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement.
This happens at my first line of code where I have COLUMN <column_name> HEADING <Heading_name>
So I am a bit confused - is there a command that I am supposed to issue that indicates to SQL*Plus that I am trying to create a report?
Also, if I just delete the COLUMN <column_name> HEADING <Heading_name> rows and just start at BREAK ON <column_name> SKIP 1, it produces the same error.
I am using Oracle 8.0.6 - does this make a difference?
Here is my code:
COLUMN a.p_ctryid HEADING 'Country'
COLUMN s.p_animid HEADING 'Stallion ID'
COLUMN s.p_uname HEADING 'Stallion Name'
COLUMN a.p_animid HEADING 'Horse ID'
COLUMN d.p_careertp HEADING 'Career'
BREAK ON s.p_animid SKIP 1
BREAK ON d.p_careertp SKIP 2
COMPUTE SUM LABEL 'Total' OF d.p_careertp ON REPORT
SELECT DISTINCT a.p_ctryid, s.p_animid, s.p_uname, a.p_animid, d.p_careertp
FROM p_owby.p_animal a, p_owby.p_animal s, p_owby.p_mating m, p_owby.p_anim_dtl d
WHERE m.p_mateyr = 2001
AND a.p_animid = d.p_animid
AND a.p_animid = m.p_animid
AND a.p_animid > 0
AND s.p_animid = a.p_sire
AND a.p_ctryid IN('GB','IRE')
GROUP BY a.p_ctryid, s.p_animid, s.p_uname, d.p_careertp, a.p_animid
ORDER BY a.p_ctryid, s.p_animid, d.p_careertp
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

You are trying to do COMPUTE SUM ... ON REPORT but there is no BREAK ON REPORT specified. The computed sum will not be shown unless you also break on report. see below demonstration. first select has no sum even though we have specified COMPUTE. The second select shows the sum since now we have done break on report.

Very Urgent: Apexlib error ora-00900 invalid sql statement

Hi,
If i'm opening a page where there are LOV I get the strange error in the debug mode. Has it perhaps anything to do with grants?
pls help asap if you can

ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement

Hi Irvine74,
for ApexLib problems it's better to use the related SourceForge support forum at http://sourceforge.net/forum/?group_id=184339 , because I'm not always monitoring the OTN forum.
Are you only getting the error in debug mode?
Is your report query on that page a valid SQL statement?
If you comment out the PL/SQL code with /* */ (don't forget to add a NULL; statement at the end to have a valid region) on page 0 "ApexLib - Before footer", are you now getting an error from APEX that the statement isn't valid?

Can any body help me in that?
Thank You,

First of all I don't see a procedure header.
Secondly I see you commit inside your procedure. This is a bug.
Thirdly I see you also commit inside a loop. This is also a bug, and needs to be removed asap.
The error indicates a statement doesn't parse. As you don't post the error stack, nor a table definition no one can reproduce the problem.
You need to isolate the statements, one by one, and run them through sql*plus to see what happens.

Apex_collection.create_collection_from_query and ORA-00900 Invalid SQL

I am very new to collections and I am having an issue creating my first collection. When I execute the following code I get ORA-00900 invalid sql.
apex_collection.create_collection_from_query ('TEST', 'select * from apex_collections', 'NO');
Any guidance is greatly appreciated. I am running Oracle 11g and APEX 4.1.0.00.32.

Sorry bad example. I have tried several tables. One only had a few columns and just text and numbers. This is the table I am trying to load into the collection. It does not seem to matter what I put in as the sql, it always comes back invalid sql.
My table looks like this.
Name                 Null     Type
MATERIAL_ID                               NOT NULL NUMBER
MATERIAL_NAME                         NOT NULL VARCHAR2(75)
MATERIAL_DESCRIPTION                             VARCHAR2(500)
CATEGORY_ID                             NOT NULL NUMBER
SUBCATEGORY_ID                                       NUMBER
QTY                                             NOT NULL NUMBER(2)
REQUESTED_QTY                                        NUMBER(2)
I have to be doing something really simple wrong.

Executing Stored Procedure from TOAD: ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement

Ok…I have ALL the stored procedures converted into Oracle…now, when I go to test them I am getting the vague error of:
ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
I am attempting to execute:
--EXEC IEXGetAgentSysPerf(to_date('2008/09/01', 'yyyy/mm/dd/'), to_date('2008/09/11', 'yyyy/mm/dd'), 'US HelpDesk');
EXEC IEXGetAgentSysPerf('9/1/2008', '9/11/2008', 'US HelpDesk');
(Neither work). These are calling a Stored Procedure with the following header:
     PROCEDURE IEXGetAgentSysPerf (
          v_curparm_IEXGetAgentSysPerf     IN OUT      pkg_IEX.cur_IEXGetAgentSysPerf
          ,v_BDateTime     DATE
          ,v_EDateTime     DATE
          ,v_WorkGroup     VARCHAR2
The IDE is “TOAD” for Oracle. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
This is your procedure
PROCEDURE IEXGetAgentSysPerf (
v_curparm_IEXGetAgentSysPerf IN OUT pkg_IEX.cur_IEXGetAgentSysPerf
,v_BDateTime DATE
,v_EDateTime DATE
,v_WorkGroup VARCHAR2
you are providing the ,v_BDateTime DATE,v_EDateTime DATE and v_WorkGroup
and how about "v_curparm_IEXGetAgentSysPerf ". So that procedures is returning the error.
Adding the the earlier post, If you want to test the Stored Procedures... then I say you work on the PL/SQL
Developer which good for debugging (easy to use...) When compare to TOAD.. :-)
Test ..it there...

Hi,
It seems like a bug as per metalink note:
APPPBR : AP Prepayment Balance Report Error Out java.sql.SQLException: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small ORA-06512: at line 11 [ID 827325.1]
Anyway, if you have any relevant information, please share.

UTL_HTTP, different error codes: APEX SQL Commands vs. Oracle SQL Developer

Hi, omniscient all!
I have a code sample where I try to request some URL from an inactive server:
declare
l_text varchar2(32000);
begin
l_text := utl_http.request('http://inactive.url:7777');
exception
when others then
    declare
      l_errcode number := utl_http.get_detailed_sqlcode;
    begin
      dbms_output.put_line(l_errcode);
      dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm(l_errcode));
    end;
end;
/When I run it in Oracle SQL Developer it shows:
anonymous block completed
-12541
ORA-12541: TNS:no listenerWhen I run it in the APEX 4.0 SQL Commands window it shows:
-29263
ORA-29263: HTTP protocol error
Statement processed.The question is: why?
In real world, I need to make a HTTP POST request (no problem) and catch some exceptions. But instead of the usual ORA-12541 error APEX throws an ORA-29261 one.

Any thoughts?

PL/SQL function body returning SQL query - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error

I'm attempting to dynamically generate a rather large SQL query via the "PL/SQL function body returning SQL query" report region option. The SQL query generated will possibly be over 32K. When I execute my page, I sometimes receive the "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error" which points to a larger than 32K query that was generated. I've seen other posts in the forum related to this dynamic SQL size limitation issue, but they are older (pre-2010) and point to the 32K limit of the DNS (EXECUTE IMMEDIATE) and DBMS_SQL. I found this post (dynamic sql enhancements in 11g) which discusses 11g no longer having the 32K size limitation for generating dynamic SQL. Our environment is on 11gR2 and using ApEx 4.2.1. I do not know which dynamic SQL method -- DNS or DBMS_SQL -- ApEx 4.2.1 is using. Can someone clarify for me which dynamic SQL method ApEx uses to implement the "PL/SQL function body returning SQL query" option?
As a test, I created a page on apex.oracle.com with a report region with the following source:
declare
l_stub varchar2(25) := 'select * from sys.dual ';
l_sql clob := l_stub || 'union all ';
br number(3) := 33;
begin
while length ( l_sql ) < 34000 loop
 l_sql := l_sql || l_stub || 'union all ';
end loop;
l_sql := l_sql || l_stub;
for i in 1 .. ceil ( length ( l_sql ) / br ) loop
 dbms_output.put_line ( dbms_lob.substr ( l_sql, br, ( ( i - 1 ) * br ) + 1 ) );
end loop;
return l_sql;
end;
The dbms_output section is there to be able to run this code in SQL*Plus and confirm the size of the SQL is indeed larger than 32K. When running this in SQL*Plus, the procedure is successful and produces a proper SQL statement which can be executed. When I put this into the report region on apex.oracle.com, I get the ORA-06502 error.
I can certainly implement a work-around for my issue by creating a 'Before Header' process on the page which populates an ApEx collection with the data I am returning and then the report can simply select from the collection, but according to documentation, the above 32K limitation should be resolved in 11g. Thoughts?

What setting do you use in your report properties - especially in Type and in Region Source?
If you have Type="SQL Query", then you should have a SELECT statement in the Region Source. Something like: SELECT .... FROM ... WHERE
According to the ERR-1101 error message, you have probably set Type to "SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)". In this situation APEX expects you to write a body of a PL/SQL function, that will generate the text of a SQL query that APEX should run. So it can be something like:
declare
mycond varchar2(4000);
begin
if :P1_REPORT_SEARCH is not null THEN
mycond:='WHERE LAST_NAME like :P1_REPORT_SEARCH ||''%''';
end if;
return 'select EMPLOYEE_ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME from EMPLOYEES ' ||mycond;
end;
And for escaping - are you interested in escaping the LIKE wildcards, or the quotes?
For escaping the wildcards in LIKE function so that when the user enters % you will find a record with % and not all functions, look into the SQL Reference:
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/conditions007.htm
(You would than need to change the code of your function accordingly).
If you are interested in escaping the quotes, try to avoid concatenating the values entered by the user into the SQL. If you can, use bind variables instead - as I have in my example above. If you start concatenating the values into the text of SQL, you are open to SQLInjection - user can enter anything, even things that will break your SQL. If you really need to allow users to choose the operator, I would probably give them a separate combo for operators and a textfield for values, than you could check if the operator is one of the allowed ones and create the condition accordingly - and than still use bind variable for inserting the filtering value into the query.
