Sync error....ORA-00932 Inconsistent datatypes

Hey all,
I am getting the following error when syncing:
MS-9109 n@86e554 (this seems to be random string) || ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes
Now, I've narrowed it down to the field that causes this error to occur. It is important to note that if I don't touch the field (just keep the initial value from the initial sync to 8.1.7, things sync fine.
The error only occurs if I change the field value in 9iLite (which I am doing through me eVB app).
In 9iLite it is defined as:
Data_Type = Number, Len = 5, N = Y, Prec = 5, Scale = 4
In 8.1.7 it is defined as:
Data_type = Number (5,4) Null = N
I'm not sure why in Lite null is Y and in 8.1.7 null is N. I just let Oracle create the lite tables based on my snapshot. At any rate, the field is not null.
Does anyone have any thoughts? Does anyone know what the first part (MS-9109) of the error message is about? I can't find anything on it in Google.
Thx.
Darren

Well,
If fixed my problem. I just re-wrote the sql I had defined in the snapshot for the table in question. Still not sure why it didn't initally work as I didn't change the logic at all.

Database error -ora-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected number got date

The above error is generated on our new 11g OAS when we execute a specific workbook with a calculation with a case statement. The case statement is displayed below.
The error does not occur on our 10g OAS. Any ideas as to the cause/solution?
CASE WHEN Organization.Department IN ('1028','1023') THEN Organization."Specific Departments Desc" ELSE Organization."Department Desc" END
Thanks,
Jerre

Pl identify exact version of Discoverer and OS versions, along with how you know this statement is generating this error. Pl see if you can enable a trace to find the cause of the error

Error message - ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected CHAR got NUMBER

Here is my Report Query...
select

I have created static LOV with LSF display 0 return
NON-LSF display 1 return..
Could any body please help me in truble shooting the error ? how do i convert datatype into number i dont have any privileges to make changes to the table...

Are there multiple columns in the table you are using from your LOV?
Your LOV select is:
select
from   DW_RFA_JOBDATA
where FINISH_TIME >= :P1_START_DATE
and FINISH_TIME < :P1_END_DATE
     AND RFA_FLAG = (CASE :P1_JOB_CLASSIFICATION WHEN '0' THEN 'LSF'
                                  WHEN '1' THEN 'NON-LSF'
                                  ELSE RFA_FLAG END)Maybe try this:
select
from   DW_RFA_JOBDATA
where FINISH_TIME >= :P1_START_DATE
and FINISH_TIME < :P1_END_DATE
     AND TO_CHAR(RFA_FLAG) = DECODE(:P1_JOB_CLASSIFICATION,'0','LSF','1','NON-LSF',RFA_FLAG)

ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CURSER

Hi all,
I created a Function and tried to execute it from SQL Plus, but am getting an error
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CURSER
I have been trying to debug for ages, but cant get to the root of what the problem might be. I would appreciate any help or idea's people could offer
The only comfort I take from this is that Oracle have a typo in one of their error messages :)

You may narrow down using length of the particular column.

ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected DATE got NUMBER at OCI call OCIStmtExecute in OBIEE 11g

Hi Friends,
I am getting this error : ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected DATE got NUMBER at OCI call OCIStmtExecute when I am trying to put the filter condition on the date column.
"Dim-Time"."Day" <= cast(MAX("Dim-Time"."Day") as date) and "Dim-Time"."Day" >= TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH, -1,cast(MAX("Dim-Time"."Day") as date).
I have casted the max date but though I am getting the above error. I am thinking max(date) is creating the problem.
Please suggest your on opinion this.
Thanks.

Not sure why you need cast in your statement if at all it is required then you need to do as below
cast("Dim-Time"."Day" as date)<= cast(MAX("Dim-Time"."Day") as date) and cast("Dim-Time"."Day" as date) >= TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_MONTH, -1,cast(MAX("Dim-Time"."Day") as date).

ORA-00932 (Inconsistent datatype) on BLOB field in a view using Forms 6i

Hi
I created a table having a BLOB column and populate it with images and also make queries on that table using form 6i but when I use a view to build a form which built on that table when I try to query I receive the following error :
ORA-00932:Inconsistent datatype
The view created as simple as SELECT * FROM MY_TABLE and there is no problem with other columns in that view but BLOB column. I am using FORMS 6i (6.0.8.11.3)
I would be so glad if someone could help me.
thanx.

I solved this problem by installing Forms 6i Patch 4a.
It was so easy, but I don't know if there is easier way to solve this problem.

Hi,
Feew suggestions
1) LONG is a deprecated type hence if possible start working on changing that column
2) CLOB will your preferred datatype over LONG.
3) you cannot use RTRIM on long.
here is a very quick example
drop table h
create table h (x long,y varchar2(100))
select rtrim(x) from h
select rtrim(y) from hSolution:
[http://www.oracle.com/technology/oramag/code/tips2003/052503.html]
need a better solution change the datatype to clob and
drop table h
create table h (x clob,y varchar2(100))
select dbms_lob.substr( x, 4000, 1 ) from h
select rtrim(y) from hCheers!!!

Why do I get this error? ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes

This is my stored procedure I've created to select only the exact amount of records per page for a GridView (for ASP.NET):
CREATE OR REPLACE
PROCEDURE SELECT_COMMAND
(pTable IN VARCHAR2
, pFields IN VARCHAR2
, pSortField IN VARCHAR2
, pPageIndex IN NUMBER
, pTotalRecs IN NUMBER
, pResultSet OUT SYS_REFCURSOR
) AS
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'SELECT ' || pFields || ' FROM '
|| '(SELECT '|| pFields ||', ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY '|| pSortField ||') ROW_NUM '
|| 'FROM '|| pTable ||') WHERE ROW_NUM BETWEEN '|| to_char(pPageIndex*pTotalRecs) ||' AND '
|| to_char((pPageIndex+1)*pTotalRecs)
INTO pResultSet;
-- Plus 1 to our index because GridView is a zeroth index collection
END SELECT_COMMAND;I then do a test case with the following paremeters:
declare
p_test sys_refcursor;
begin
select_command('v_sig_devices', '"JOB", "LINE"', '"DEVICE_ID"', 0, 10, p_test);
end;But I get the following error:
>
Error report: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got -

At first Oracle gave me an error because the numbers were not a string. Then I convert them into a string (with to_char) and Oracle is still not happy! Any ideas as to why this is happening?
Thanks for any help that you can provide.

You don't select into ref cursors, you open them:
SQL> create table t(c varchar2(1));
Table created.
SQL> insert into t values ('a');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into t values ('b');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into t values ('c');
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> create or replace
2 procedure p (p_ref out sys_refcursor) as
3 begin
4 open p_ref for 'select c from t';
5 end;
6 /
Procedure created.
SQL> var results refcursor
SQL> exec p(:results);
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> print results
C
a
b

Help with error select case statement (ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes)

Hi,
I'm struggling to get my sql query work on Oracle..
I have a table MyTable with 5 columns ( Column1, Column2, Column3, Column4, Column5 ) all are of type NVARCHAR2.
I need to check whether Column 3, Column 4 are empty or not in that order..and if they values then I wanna append it to Column2.
For example
If a row contains the following values,
Column 2 = a.b
Column 3 = 123
Column 4 = xyz
then column CA = a.b/123/xyz where column CA = temp column
If either Column 3 or Column 4 is empty/null, then I don't need to append value for that column..
For example
Column 2 = a.b
Column 3 = either NULL or ''
Column 4 = xyz
then CA = a.b/xyz where column CA = temp column
similarly..
Column 2 = a.b
Column 3 = 123
Column 4 = either NULL or ''
then CA = a.b/123 where column CA = temp column
Here is my query..
select MyTable.Column1 as CA0,
MyTable.Column2 as CA1,
MyTable.Column3 as CA2,
MyTable.Column4 as CA3,
MyTable.Column5 as CA4,
MyTable.Column2 + CASE WHEN MyTable.Column3 > '' THEN '/' + MyTable.Column3 ELSE '' END + CASE WHEN MyTable.Column4 > '' THEN '/' + MyTable.Column4 ELSE '' END CA
from MyTable;
This query works just fine against SQL Server db, but gainst Oracle I'm getting
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got CHAR
00932. 00000 - "inconsistent datatypes: expected %s got %s"
Could you please let me know what I'm doing wrong. I need to get this query working on both SQL Server and Oracle..
Please let me know your suggestions and thoughts..
Cheers,

I need to check whether Column 3, Column 4 are empty or not in that order..and if they values then I wanna append it to Column2. In Oracle, you can do it this way - no need to do all kinds of difficult things:
select col2||col3||col4
from tbl

PL/SQL: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected UDT got NUMBER

Hi all,
Wondering if you could assist? I'm exploring User Types and having a small problem. I'm getting the above error for a user type I have created which I'm calling in a function. Here's what my code looks like which I'm running the 'scott' schema for testing purposes
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE NBR_COLL AS TABLE OF NUMBER;
2 /
Type created.
SQL> create or replace FUNCTION first_rec_only
2 (
3 NUM_ID IN NUMBER

6 BEGIN
7 select deptno into v_num from dept;
8 RETURN v_num(v_num.FIRST);
9 END first_rec_only;
10 /

Errors for FUNCTION FIRST_REC_ONLY:

7/11 PL/SQL: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected UDT got

SQL>
Any clues to what I'm doing wrong? Cheers.

The deptno column is a number, you cannot directly select a number into your type, you need to use your type's constructor.
Something like:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION first_rec_only (NUM_ID IN NUMBER) RETURN NUMBER IS
   v_num NBR_COLL;
BEGIN
   SELECT nbr_coll(deptno) INTO v_num from dept;
   RETURN v_num(v_num.FIRST);
END first_rec_only;Note that although this will compile, it will throw ORA-01422: exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows when you run it. you need to either use the input parameter as a predicate on your query against dept, use rownum = 1 in the query or use bulk BULK COLLECT INTO, depending on what exactly you want to accomplish.
