Syntax error in From clause from Access

I am trying to migrate a database from Access 2000, and all of the tables except one migrate correctly. The one problem table gives me the following error message:
Unable to migrate table data: NWQ_TANC.PARAMETERS; [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in FROM clause.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I have found the error in the help Appendix, but it just lists it as a QUERY type error, #3131, and gives no explanation or clues on how to fix it.
Thanks, Jessica

Hi Jessica
Just wondering if you ever managed to find a solution to this problem, as I am getting a very similar error - only I don't just get it for one table, I get it for every single table in the database!
Would be very interested to hear if you managed to sort it or not
Cheers
Ed

That is correct.
Datamover tries to insert data in PSOPRDEFN and rows exist with these keys.
To avoid this you can add the following statement in your script:
SET UPDATE_DUPS;
This will update the values other than the keys if a row already exists in the database with the keys in the dat file.
I can advice you to buy the new book of Jim Marion, PeopleSoft PeopleTools Data Management and Upgrade Handbook
http://www.amazon.com/PeopleSoft-PeopleTools-Management-Upgrade-Handbook/dp/0071787925/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1353575734&sr=8-1&keywords=jim+j+marion
It has an entire chapter on how to use datamover.

Error in FROM clause (MS Access)

I'm getting an 'error executing a database query.' The query
is a simple
<cfquery name="myquery" datasource="#application.dsn#">
SELECT *
FROM #url.table#
</cfquery>
The debugging info i get is as follows:
SELECT * FROM Order
VENDORERRORCODE -3506
SQLSTATE 42000
It also states the error is in the FROM clause and only
happens when url.table is Order, not the other table names. I know
the order table exists because i get a nonexistent table name error
when url table is a bogus table name. This implies that
it knows the order table exists but says there's an error in
the FROM clause. The query is successful on all the other tables in
my db (MS access, i'm using the access driver without unicode). Any
ideas?

order is a reserved word...you'll need to escape it using
brackets
FROM [order]

Syntax error while loading hierarchy from an external file

Dear Expert:
I am new to BW and I met a problem today while loading hierarchy from an external file. Actually I am following below article to load the hierarchy:
/people/prakash.bagali/blog/2006/02/07/hierarchy-upload-from-flat-files
When I schedule the infopackage, the error message says: "Syntax error in template RSTMPL9C, ROW 76". Actually there is only around 20 lines of records.
Since I am not familiar with hierarchy load, so:
1. while loading from external file, do I need to create one hierarchy in advance through "Maintain Hierarchies" in the infoobject? My understanding is since I can load that hierarchy from file, so I do not need to create one in advance, once the load completed, the hierarchy should automatically generated there. Is my understanding correct?
2. Before loading the hierarchy, do I need to load the master data of external characteristics in the hierarchy first? Here in my example, the sales hierarchy has 2 external characteritics (Country and region) in the hierarchy. Do I need to load some data first?
3. My 'Preview' function in the infopackage is gray so that I can not test the data loading. Why is it gray?
Information like file name, file dir, file type(csv), seperator should be correct there.
Can anybody help me take a look into that? Many thanks for your time in advance!
Tim

Hi ctsiszidane:
There are some other SAP Notes that can help you solve the problem. Depending on your Support Package level check which of them is applicable.
Note 659461 - RSAR 682: Syntax error in template RSTMPL9A, row 246
Note 605690 - Escape characters are not processed correctly
Note 620152 - Syntax error in RSTMPL9A during data loading from a file

Beginner: Getting syntax error on WHERE clause in SELECT

I'm very new to php and mySQL. Am using DW master/detail to generate to basic code I need. One thing I need to do is modify a select statement in the master to include a WHERE clause to limit the selection to a particular value in one field.
I'm getting a syntax error with the WHERE clause I'm adding to the map select statement.
This is the portion of the error message showing the error location:
'WHERE Group='Community' LIMIT 0, 10'
The php that generated the select is:
$query_maps = "SELECT * FROM tblmaps ORDER BY tblmaps.DispSeq";
$query_limit_maps = sprintf("%s WHERE Group='%s' LIMIT %d, %d", $query_maps, $selectGroup, $startRow_maps, $maxRows_maps);
This approach to creating the select statement is from the code generated for the master page. It adds the LIMIT clause. All I did was add the "WHERE Group='%s' and the $selectGroup variable which comes from earlier code. You can see that the $selectGroup variable is equal to the "Community: group.
I've scanned the web to see what syntax error I might be making but haven't found anything that explains it.
The full resolved select statement is:
SELECT * FROM tblmaps ORDER BY tblmaps.DispSeq WHERE Group='Community' LIMIT 0,10
What am I not seeing?
Tom

Thanks. Make sense but changing that didn't help.
Here's the error message I'm getting:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'Group='Community' ORDER BY tblmaps.DispSeq LIMIT 0, 10' at line 1
The full select (from a debugging ECHO I inserted) is:
SELECT * FROM tblmaps WHERE Group='Community' ORDER BY tblmaps.DispSeq LIMIT 0, 10
Note that when I take the WHERE clause out, there is no syntax error.

Syntax error in reading data from another DSO

Hi all,
I have written a end routine to read business area from another dso the code is as follows.
DATA:lw_c_wa type tys_TG_1-BUS_AREA.
    LOOP AT RESULT_PACKAGE ASSIGNING -BUS_AREA = lw_c_wa-bus_area.
      refresh lw_c_wa.
      ENDIF.
    endloop.
but i am getting the following error:
E:"FROM ...", "CONNECTION ...", "BYPASSING BUFFER", "PACKAGE SIZE ...",
or "UP TO ... ROWS" expected after "LW_C_WA".
i am not able to debug this.
Pls any input on this.
Regards,
suyash

Try to debug using DTP. (Goto DTP ---> Execute Tab ---> Choose processing mode as "Serially in Dialog Process (For Debugging).
Or goto transformation -
> Extras --> Display generated code ---> put a break point here and execute the DTP. Then you can debug the code.

Syntax error in WHERE clause

Hi all,
see the code.
data: itab type cdhdr occurs 0,
        wa type cdhdr.
data: begin of itab1 occurs 0,
         lifnr like lfa1-lifnr,
          ktokk like lfa1-ktokk,
        end of itab1.
select * from cdhdr into table itab.
select lifnr ktokk from lfa1 into table itab1
    for all entries in itab
      where lifnr = itab-objectid.
when i go for Syntax check i am getting Error like " when using the addition for all entries in itab " the fields LIFNR and ITAB-OBJECTID must have the same type and lengh.
so, i have done the following correction in WHERE clause.
select lifnr ktokk from lfa1 into table itab1
    for all entries in itab
      where lifnr = itab-objectid(10).
But this time i am geting warning in German language.
my correction is correct or not ?
Pls guide me ..
Thanks
Krupali.

select lifnr ktokk from lfa1 into table itab1
for all entries in itab
where lifnr = itab-objectid(10).
But this time i am geting warning in German language.
my correction is correct or not ?
Answer is your correction is not correct.
we cannot use offset with for all entries.
you can do this way first take the itab-objectid(10) in some other field like temp than fire for all entries on temp.
like below.
select lifnr ktokk from lfa1 into table itab1
for all entries in itab
where lifnr = itab-temp."<-- see here

Exception: DBD, [Microsoft][ODBC Excel Driver] Syntax error in FROM clause.

Dear experts,
I'm trying to create an universe linked to an Excel File.
I've created the ODBc connection and the DNS Data Source and inserted the table (table name RAC$) in the Universe. however, when I try to map each table field in the universe's Objects I'm getting this error message:
"Exception: DBD, [ODBC Excel Driver] Syntax error in FROM clause.State:37000".
I've tried to rename the table, inserting square brackects and also add new parameters to the universe («Transactional Available = "Yes"» and «Delimited Identifier = "Yes"») but still no solution to my problem.
Any advice, tip or trick?
Thank you. My best regards.

Issue sourcing from Microsoft Access - Syntax error (missing operator)

I apologize if this has been discussed before. I used the search and went through 7 pages of results, but didn't see a similar issue.
I'm using Windows 7, ODI 11.1.1.5.
I'm trying to source from a local MS Access DB to an Oracle DB.
The session fails pretty much immediately (on step 3) - trying to pull data from the source table.
"Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression"
The source table is very simple and for this test I'm using no joins. Literally a 'select * from'.
However - when I look at the SQL generated - it's wrong. It's got duplicate lines in the SQL and not all columns selected have a comma after and before the next column.
If I run it direct on Access - I get the same error.
If I clean up the SQL - it'll run fine on Access.
I'm using the SQL to Oracle LKM.
I wondered if it was something with the ODBC driver - so I've tried other versions of ODBC drivers for MS Access, and even switched the database itself from the Office 2007 format, back to 2003, and tried a driver for that.
Same result.
If I go to the model and right click and look for the data in the table - it displays fine. So obviously ODI can connect and see the data...
So I guess my questions are:
- is the SQL to Oracle LKM the correct one to source from Access ? I've even gone into it and specified MS Access as the source. Same result.
- if it is the right one - what's going on ?? I've got to assume other people are pulling data from MS Access. Why the garbage SQL ? Clearly I'm missing something.
- and finally - worst case - but is there a way for me to overwrite the SQL being generated so I can correct it myself. This will be a PITA since I'll be source from a bunch of tables - but at least it might be a temporary stop gap...
thanks

I'm going to mark this as closed for now. I solved the SQL issue. It was to do with the way the tables / fields were named and how the fields were being brought into the workflow. Tidying up there fixed the problem.
Getting past that brought me to several other issues which I'm still working through. The current is an Invalid Fetch size error - but that appears to have been resolved in patch Doc ID: 13528165 in ODI 11g (ver 11.1.1.5.0)
given the initial issue that I'd raised is no longer a concern - I'm closing.

Stupid question: whats wrong here? -- Syntax Error in FROM clause

i keep getting the error: Syntax Error in FROM clause.
here is the code:
<%@ page import="java.sql.*" %>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>User Application Area</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000">
<%
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Connection con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:fypproject","","");
Statement st = con.createStatement();
String email = (String)session.getAttribute("email");
String levelStatus = (String)session.getAttribute("levelStatus");
String details = "SELECT PD.Forename, PD.Surname, L.Level_Name FROM PD Personal_Details AND LD Login_Details AND L Level WHERE PD.Email_Address = LD.Email_Address AND LD.Level_ID = L.Level_ID AND Level_ID = '" + levelStatus + "'";
ResultSet rsDet = st.executeQuery(details);
if(rsDet.next()) {
String forename = rsDet.getString("Forename");
String surname = rsDet.getString("Surname");
String level_name = rsDet.getString("Level_Name");
%>
<DIV ALIGN="center"><H1>User Application Arena</H1></DIV>
<BR>
<H4>Welcome back <% out.println(forename + " " + surname); %> </H4>
<BR>
<%
out.println(level_name);
else {
out.println("NOT FOUND ANYTHING");
st.close();
con.close();
%>
</BODY>
</HTML>
the strange thing is when i write a query that doesn't involve the 'Level' table it works fine.
for example if i just want to display the forename and surname from 'Personal_Details' where the Email_Address = email it works fine...as soon as i involve the 'Level' table i get this error.
i basically have 'Level_ID' in the 'Login_Details' table which is found out in the preceding jsp and passed through to this page and i can print out the Level_ID
but....what i want to do is use this Level_ID and find the respective Level_Name in the Level table.
my Level table looks like this:
Level_ID Level_Name
0 Pending
1 Interview
2 Rejection
Thanks :o)

Perhaps this is your issue ...
The column Level_ID is in both the Login_Details and Level tables. Therefore, in your WHERE clause, you must specify a table alias for each reference to Level_ID
WHERE PD.Email_Address = LD.Email_Address AND LD.Level_ID = L.Level_ID AND Level_ID = '" + levelStatus + "'";
should be
WHERE PD.Email_Address = LD.Email_Address AND LD.Level_ID = L.Level_ID AND L.Level_ID = '" + levelStatus + "'"; //ADDED "L." before Level_ID
Level_ID would have been unique until you added the Level table.
Good luck.

Error in FROM clause

hi,
ok i have a piece of code which looks like
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT OrderDate, ProdNumber, Quantity, Price, OrderNumber FROM Order WHERE EmailAddress='" + email + "'");
when i execute it... i get following error
java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in FROM clause.
i don't think there is any problem with syntax...
thanx in advance

Hey the escape character in java is \ you need to use that to escape the property of " for eg you will write like this ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT OrderDate, ProdNumber, Quantity, Price, OrderNumber FROM Order WHERE EmailAddress= "\""+ email + "\"");
try this and let me know if it works

SELECT statement in FROM clause - syntax help

Hi,
I want to have a SELECT statement in the FROM clause. I get syntax error when doing this and since I am new to ABAP I need som help.
I want to do the following, (and if anyone has any SELECT statement from their own system which you know there is no syntax error in please post it here so I can analyze the syntax):
*I leave the INTO itab clause out, since I only want to demonstrate the functionality
I am trying to get.
<b>SELECT</b> tableOne~someField
<b>FROM</b> tab <b>AS</b> tableOne (<b>SELECT</b> someField
                                     <b>FROM</b> tab
                                     <b>WHERE</b> someFiled > 1) <b>AS</b> tableTwo
<b>WHERE</b> tableOnesomeField > tableTwosomeField
like I said, the problem is that the select statement in the parenthesis in the from clause seems to be incorrect because I get "wrong expression" when trying to compile. Is this because I cannot have a select statement in the from clause or is it because of a minor syntax error, such as I forgot a dot, or some other sign?
thanks and regards
Baran

sorry i am not enough familiar with sub queries but some error i can see which i will state here.
1> you have to use sub queries i.e. select in ( ) after where clause because here you are fulfilling a where clause by another select statement.
like this
SELECT * FROM SFLIGHT
    INTO WA
    WHERE SEATSOCC = ( SELECT MAX( SEATSOCC ) FROM SFLIGHT ).
2> you cannot specify field name without into clause either you have to use
select * or select f1 into tab-f1 like this...
but if you are using select * without into you have to define
tables : dbtab.
selec * from dbtab. like that.

Cannot transport from quality to production due to syntax error

Hi all,
I have modified the program in Development system in which i have added on field to the internal table structure. Internal table is declared in the top include of the program. Now the program is transported to the Quality server which ends with the error for top include as"Original object cannot be replaced". But when i check the top include in quality server, the field which i have added is available. Now for transporting to production server, it ends by syntax error saying "The data object ITAB does not have a component called <field>".
Please guide me for the above error.
Thanks & Regards

I've been doing SAP for a while and I can tell you, definitively, that syntax errors do not prevent import.
>All the includes are activated and free from syntax errors in quality system.
>Now for transporting to production server, it ends by syntax error saying "The data object ITAB does not have a component called <field>".
If there are no syntax errors in quality, then where is that syntax error showing? It must be in production. It will be an inactive version in production that has the syntax error. Go into production, try to activate the program. Activation will fail because of the syntax error.
You get the syntax error because the defintion has not made it into P. If you transport the whole program, as R3TR PROG zprog, and have the correct flags set on import to overcome the message "Original object cannot be replaced", then your problem will be solved.

Error while trying to submit Access request to GRC from IDM

Hello
We have SAP IDM 7.2 SP8 installed and done all the prerequisite for connecting to GRC AC 10 as in configuration document.
We are trying to submit request to GRC using Standard GRC provisioning framework task ( AC Validation) but pass: Submit AC Request fails with error: "Pass stopped by script"
Is there anything wrong with the script which put RoleData details since its getting aborted ?
I tried providing Role name directly in Role data attribute inside the action task and got following error:
Error
putNextEntry failed

Exception from Add operation:javax.naming.NamingException: [LDAP: error code

I checked VDS Logs and there was one error :
Additional message = msgcode=4;msgdescription=Mandatory field ITEM NAME is empty in line no 1 ;msgtype=ERROR
From where exactly ITEM NAME field value will be fetched and pass to GRC for request creation ?
Regards

Thanks Christopher
I got my issue fixed, There was issue with my GRC Initial load job which couldn't enrich repository privileges and hence the issue was coming since script wasn't able to find GRC ROLE ID and Application ID attribute from privileges.
