SQLDev 4.0 EA1 error ORA-904 "SP"."CHILD_ADDRESS" invalid identifier.

Recieve error ORA-904 "SP"."CHILD_ADDRESS" invalid identifier when accessing the Explain Plan tab in Session Monitor. Client in Win 7 64 bit, DB is Oracle 10.1.
This behavior still exists with 4 EA3.

Copy the monitor sessions report down to a user defined report, check out the SQL being used in the Explain Plan tab, and try running that in your 10.1.0.5 database. We don't support that version of the database, but you can change up the sql in your user defined report to work for that instance if necessary.

GROUP BY Clause -SQL Devolper error 00904. 00000 - "%s: invalid identifier

I'm a real novice with SQL and I am having a problem understanding why this doesn't work. Searching the web got me to this forum, but I haven't been able to find a solution. Obviuosly I don't really understand how to use the GROUP BY clause. The SQL works fine without that clause.
As stated in the subject I am getting this error:

Gary,
Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. There are so many choices here I had a hard time deciding which to use. :)
I tried your suggestion and still got an error. I had thought I didn't need to use aggregate functions on all of the fields. I guess that was wrong, so I changed it. Once I did that the SQL worked fine.

SQLDEV 2.1.0.63 gives ORA-904 on UT_TEST_RESULTS when running unit test

how come there's this mismatch? The Unitest repository was created by the same sqldeveloper !
regards,
Andre

This seems to be coming from the repository being marked as Shared repository. Appearantly sqldeveloper is issueing a different query, referencing TEST_USER_NAME, in that case. After I did a DESELECT AS SHARED REPOSITORY and drop/recreate of the repository the error ORA-904 no longer occurs.

Ora-904 in plsql

i have a function "FA" in schema "A". i gave a grant (execute) to a role "rleA". In another schema "B" i created other procedure "PB" accessing function created before "FA" and gave grant by role "rleA" to schema "B". In this case, raise the error ora-904 in line where "FA" is. If i execute the line error without a plsql block, it works or if i give grant direct to "B" it works too (in plsql).
anybody help ?

I am facing the same problem. I am using Oracle Database 10g Express Edition.

Runtime error ORA-01741after upgrade

Hi,
I got the error ORA-01741 : illegal zero-length identifier for many target tables, after upgrading to 9.0.3. The running is successfull, but I get this error when I look at the target table audit.
Any tips what could cause that ?
Thank's

Could it be that any of your object names or attributes names are empty? Could you take a look at a generated script that causes this problem (I would expect 2 double quotes with nothing in between)?
Thanks,
Mark.

Data blocks are corrupted : Error ORA-01578

Hi All,
We having a serious problem with the oracle running in our development server.
Data blocks are corrupted with the error ORA-01578
and we have identified the segment as an Table TBTCO.
Hence can any body suggest us the way to resolve this.
Currently we dont require any data from that table. In that
case can we drop down the table and import it again with
the same table downloaded from production server?
As we dont have any oracle DBA's please suggest us the way to resolve this.
Please advise.
Thanks & Regards,
DVRK

Hey,
if you are using RMAN backup you can restore and recover only the corrupted blocks.
For more information take a look at that nice blog article from Lars:
Some hints to make handling of oracle datablock corruptions more efficient
If you don't have any idea howto handle this situation, please open a SAP call.

Hi,
I am trying to add a new field to an existing bespoke report query. When I click on ok, I get the following error

Any ideas what is causing this problem? Version of the report builder is : 6.0.8 and is connected to a 10.2 db.
Any help appreciated.
Many Thanks,

What is the field name ? Maybe a reserved word ? Change to "my_new_variable" to check...

Anyone to help with this problem: ora-00922 : missing or invalid option

I am trying to call a function that i wrote.
PS: i am new to oracle functions.
The purpose of this function is to display each item with its suppliers displayed in a record. I hope what i wrote in my function is close to what i am trying to get as a result.
Here what i run:
CREATE TYPE ind_tab_supplier0 AS OBJECT
(ITP_SUPPLIER_CODE VARCHAR2(50),
ITP_SUPPLIER_NAME VARCHAR2(50));
CREATE TYPE ind_tab_supplier1 IS VARRAY(6) OF VARCHAR2(30);
CREATE TYPE ind_tab_supplier_table AS TABLE OF ind_tab_supplier1;
than i tried to execute the following function but it gave me the error
"ora-00922 : missing or invalid option". If anyone could tell me what is wrong with it:
CREATE OR REPLACE CSRDBA."GET_SUPPLIERS" (itemCode IN
ref_item.itm_id%TYPE) RETURN ind_tab_supplier_table PIPELINED
IS
TYPE ref0 IS REF CURSOR;
cur0 ref0;
TYPE ref1 IS REF CURSOR;
cur1 ref1;
out_rec0 ind_tab_supplier0
:= ind_tab_supplier0(NULL,NULL);
out_rec1 ind_tab_supplier1
:= ind_tab_supplier1(NULL);
BEGIN
v_itemCode := itemCode;
OPEN cur0 FOR

'where s.ven_id = t.ven_id)

' from ref_item_vendor t where t.itm_id = :1 '
USING v_itemCode;
LOOP
FETCH cur0 INTO out_rec0.itp_supplier_code,
out_rec0.itp_supplier_name;
IF cur0%NOTFOUND THEN
RETURN;
END IF;
out_rec1.ind_tab_supplier1.extend;
out_rec1.ind_tab_supplier1(out_rec1.ind_tab_supplier1.count) :=
out_rec0.itp_supplier_code;

out_rec1.ITP_SUPPLIER(out_rec1.ITP_SUPPLIER.count) :=
out_rec0.itp_supplier_name;
END LOOP;
PIPE ROW(out_rec1);
CLOSE cur0;
RETURN;
END GET_SUPPLIERS;
At the end what i want to do is to run the following query if possible:
select item_code, item_name, GET_SUPPLIERS( item_code )
from item_table
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi,
Try this :
While creating TYPE remove semi colon from end of the statement and also dont use extra / as / means execute last statement so you may encounter error..
CREATE TYPE ind_tab_supplier1 IS VARRAY(6) OF VARCHAR2(30)

Error message for ORA-904 incomplete in german locale [1.1.0.22.71]

Error report:

Maybe the second line '00904. 00000 - "%s: invalid identifier"' results from having a german Windows XP.
I don't know how it looks on english Windows or how it should look like. :-)
I run SQLDeveloper on XP Pro and Oracle 9.2 (on W2k).
Regards,
dhalek

dhalek,
If you take a closer look, the 00904. 00000 - "%s: invalid identifier" line is present in both languages - it's something that gets always appended.
As for the German message SQL Error: ORA-00904: Ungültiger Spaltenname, you see it's lacking any reference to the column. The German translator apparently let that slip out. If the substitution parameter was there, but unsubstituted for some reason, it would look like SQL Error: ORA-00904: "": Ungültiger Spaltenname.
You can contact Oracle through Metalink if you want this to get sorted out...
