TO_NUMBER getting invalid number error
I want to use TO_NUMBER function to converse some float number,
but the following query always gets invalid number error:
select to_number('12.1073') from dual;
but if I add the format in, it runs as expected:
select to_number('12.1073', '99.9999') from dual;
From the syntax, the format parameter is optional, is it only optional for integers?
Thanks!
Same here.
So, or you replace dot by comma, or you change the territory (or nls_numeric_characters) defined for your session :
SQL> select to_number('12.1073') from dual;
select to_number('12.1073') from dual
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01722: invalid number

Please help getting invalid number error.
Hi Experts,
My requirement is
If DT_ID value of xmlmsg existed in the DT_ID of PART_ID_COLLES table then that record should be processd else should be skipped.
And xmlmsg of PART_ID should start with "A" and followed only by the number then that record should be processed else should be skipped.
And xmlmsg of DD_DAYS should contain only the number and grater than or equal to 0 ,then that record should be processed else should be skipped.
For that I have written this code.
But if I pass dt_id as string value in xmlmsg I am getting invalid number error.
DT_ID of PART_ID_COLLES table is number data type.
SELECT xmlmsg.part_id part_id,xmlmsg.dd_days dd_days,xmlmsg.dt_id dt_id

TO_CHAR to convert date getting 'Invalid number' error
I am trying to convert a static date value using TO_CHAR function but I can't believe I am not able to do it such a simple conversion.
//Obviously this is easy and everyone would like to give this as an example and this is what I see everwhere on Google and it works.
SELECT TO_CHAR(sysdate, 'YYYY-MM-DD') FROM DUAL;
How can I make it work like this?
SELECT TO_CHAR('2010-JUN-23', 'YYYY-MM-DD') FROM DUAL;
I keep getting "Invalid number" error. I changed my constant date to different formats but none works.Your first literal is not a date, assuming you didn't set NLS_DATE_FORMAT.
So the code should have been
SELECT TO_CHAR(to_date('2010-JUN-23','YYYY-MON-DD'), 'YYYY-MM-DD') FROM DUAL;
Please note DATEs are always converted to VARCHAR2 when you SELECT them, using NLS_DATE_FORMAT.
When you use a DATE string literal it ias always implicitly converted to a real date, by using NLS_DATE_FORMAT.
So if you want all your dates formatted as YYYY-MON-DD, you need to set NLS_DATE_FORMAT to that mask.

Trying to complete profile - get invalid number error
I'm attempting to complete my Skype profile, but am running into a problem when trying to enter my mobile number. I've entered it as xxxxxxxxxx and xxx-xxx-xxxx, neither seems acceptable. The error says, "It looks like you entered an invalid number - try again, so friends will have more ways to contact you." Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm in the US and am attempting to use Skype Web (beta). Need to use this for a call on Monday.

Invalid number error when calculating with sysdate
Hello - I am getting invalid number error for query below:
SELECT *
FROM
trkg
WHERE
trkg.tran_type=500
AND
trkg.mod_date_time>sysdate-0.5
I am not sure what is wrong with above query. Strange part is that it executes fine in one environmnet and returns 'invalid number' error in other environmnet? Please help me find missing setting.more information:
Table1: LOCN_HDR with field locn_brcd and locn_id

-- returns values correctly
Now when I join another table to above (ie table 2), it returns 'invalid number'

why are rows returned with one join? when i have more than one join why does it return error 'invalid number'. -
When calling to phone, I get "Invalid number" to n...
Hi,
I had SIM card from one mobile provider in Ireland and I have moved my number to other mobile provider. After successful transfer I am not able to call to my number (+35389xxxxxxx) from skype and I get "invalid number" error message.
I was able to call before transfer.
Is it skype problem or new mobile provider bad transfer problem?
Thanks
Solved!

Yes it is. Please contact your provider.

I recommend that you always run the latest Skype version: Windows & Mac

To_number function and the "invalid number" error
Dear all,
I have searched the forum for threads relating to the ORA-01722: invalid number error, could not find the answer I am looking for.
What I was trying to do was
select * from table1 where to_number(field1) > 1000
field1 is a varchar2 data type.
I tried all sorts of things i.e using fmt, nls params as defined in the documentation, nothing worked.
Though the practical problem was solved by
select * from table1 where field1 > '1000'
I would still like to know why this error occurs. Can someone help ?
Regards
CrusoeI think the database engine should simply return the rows that successfully convert to number and meet the where condition Oracle does not work in that way ;)
Then try this...
Just you need to add the below where clause to your source query. as this will retrieve only the number, to_number should work without any problem.
But still you have to create a subquery to escape the invalid number error.

Case When Statement and ORA:01722 Invalid number error
Hi folks, I have posted this under another heading as well under E-business suite so apologies if some you have already seen it but I would really appreciate some help on this one. Any suggestions are most welcome.
We are trying to put together a calculation that returns the number of days absent an individual has had in a given time period. We need to cater for those absences that started before the period and are closed during it, absence that start during the period and end after it, and those that open and close within it.
The period is always a rolling 6 months from sysdate.
This is the calc we have come up with so far which works for some people but we get the invalid number error if the absence includes a half day - so 0.5, 1.5,etc.
This is probably over complicated but we are not techie at all so are learning as we go!
We are using the HRMS - Administration - Oracle Human Resources (Core) business area in 10G and the Absence Attendance and Person folders.
SUM(TO_NUMBER(NVL(( CASE WHEN Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date < TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') THEN ( CASE WHEN Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" > SYSDATE THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( CASE WHEN TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') >= Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN SYSDATE <= Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) END ) END ) END ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') >= Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN SYSDATE <= Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) END ) END ) END ) END ) END ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( CASE WHEN TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') >= Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN SYSDATE <= Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) END ) END ) END ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY') >= Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(TO_DATE(ADD_MONTHS(SYSDATE,-6),'DD-Mon-YYYY'),Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") ) IS NULL THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( CASE WHEN SYSDATE <= Absence Attendance."Actual End Date" THEN ( WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,SYSDATE) ) ELSE ( Absence Attendance.Duration Days ) END ) END ) END ) END ) END ),( DAYS_BETWEEN(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date,Absence Attendance."Actual End Date") )),'999999990D00'))Hi,
It could be that this is because you are using SYSDATE which contains the time as a fraction rather than TRUNC(SYSDATE) which just contains the current time. It could be that your working_dates_between raises this error.
However, your formula is far more complicated than it needs to be.
Firstly, you want to look at the date window ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE), -6) to TRUNC(SYSDATE). Then you want to look at the portion of the absence that falls in the date window. This is GREATEST(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date, ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE), -6)) to LEAST(NVL(Absence Attendance."Actual End Date",TRUNC(SYSDATE)), TRUNC(SYSDATE)). You may need to add 1 to the absence end date because this is the last day of their absence rather than the date they return. It depends how you calculate the days between the start and end
date of the absence. You can create calculations for the start and end date of the absences within the 6 months time window. Create calculation AbsenceStart as
GREATEST(Absence Attendance.Actual Start Date, ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE), -6))
and AbsenceEnd as
LEAST(NVL(Absence Attendance."Actual End Date",TRUNC(SYSDATE)), TRUNC(SYSDATE))
Then you need to only pick up absence that a part of the absence in your 6 month date window. You can use a condition in the workbook or a condition in a case statement to do this. You then need to calculate the difference between these dates and SUM all the values.
SUM(CASE WHEN AbsenceEnd >= AbsenceStart THEN WORKING_DAYS_BETWEEN(AbsenceStart, AbsenceEnd) END)
That's it. Not so complicated after all.

Could any please help in resolving this error. Here is the code i am using to create a materialized view.

Thanks,
Shaik MohiuddinThis error occurs when you try to create a materialized view , but if you run the sql the results are perfectly fine. Well it happend to me also and to fix this I made sure all the coulmns have the same data type which are used in joins or in where clause.
use
where
to_number(col1)=to_number(col2) and to_number(col3)=to_number(col4)
hope this helps.. -
Another ORA-01722: invalid number Error
Hello All,
I have 2 Validations on 1 Item, Not Null and Not Exists, very standard.
select fk_session_name_id
from hrt_session
where fk_session_name_id = :p9_fk_session_name_id
and fk_class_id = :p9_fk_class_id;My Item needs to be a Select List that returns the ID of FK_SESSION_NAME_ID.
select distinct SESSION_NAME display_value, PK_SESSION_NAME_ID return_value
from HRT_SESSION_NAME
order by 1My Form Page throws the ORA-01722 in invalid number Error only when I make the Item a Select List. If Item is a
Text Field and ID value entered and Create is clicked the data is saved but not when its a Select List. I have read alot
of threads that talk about converting this Item to_number but I have not been successful in doing this. Once the Item is
a Select List the Not Exists validation works but the Not Null Validation populates the Error Message. Can anyone
assist me with this please? Thanks
My Data Type is INTEGER for FK_SESSION_NAME_ID and SESSION_NAME is VARCHAR2.
SESSION_NAME data....
SESSION 1
SESSION 2
PMAS 1
PMAS 2
BASIC WORD 2003.....
Edited by: Charles A on Jan 11, 2010 1:42 PMHey Jari,
The PK_SESSION_NAME_ID in the select statement is the value that is going to be returned. FK_SESSION_NAME_ID is the Foreign Key value that will get the value from the Primary Key PK_SESSION_NAME_ID.
Yes, I do have an account that you can log into, thanks for assistance Jari.
Once you log in Select link 'Hrt_Class' which will populate Page 2. Region 'Cascading LOVs has 4 Items. Class Meridiem, Class Name, Class End Date and Class Location. Select these values then click 'Search'. Once the values are populated click the red button at the bottom 'Add Session Info'. This will populate Page 9 which will allow you to test the Create button. You should not be able to add any Session Name that exists in the Report below and you should not be able to Create a Null FK_SESSION_NAME_ID. Let me know if this is clear, thanks again.
The PK_SESSION_ID cannot be Null so just start with values 60116 on up to avoid that error message. I do not have any sequences or triggers created since this is just a testing app.

Invalid number error for bind dialog
Oracle SQL Developer version 1.1.2.25 BUILD MAIN-25.79
Running under WinXP
Issue description:
We get an invalid number error when bind variable filled with an enter in the bind dialogIt is hard to say what is causing your problem without the specifics (ie query and value entered for the bind variable). Try running the same statement with the value of the bind variable in place of the bind variable (ie instead of running "select * from dual where dummy = :var" with a value of 'x' for :var, run "select * from dual where dummy = 'x'"). If you get the same error, then it is not an issue with the use of bind variables.
Be aware that currently you cannot define the data type of bind variables (unlike TOAD, etc) and they are all treated as character values. I wouldn't have thought that this would cause you problem unless you are using a bind variable to restrict a numeric column to a specific value and you are entering a non-numeric bind (ie "select * from people where person_id = :id" and using 'xyz' as the value for :id). -
ORA-01722: invalid number error. In Update
create or replace procedure San_Test (sInNum varchar2, outMsg out varchar2)
is
begin
update mtest set
mname = 'Success'
where id in (sInNum);
commit;
outMsg :='Success';
exception
when others then
outMsg :='Err';
dbms_output.put_line(sqlerrm);
end;
This is my test sp where i am getting ORA-01722: invalid number error.
Which is because the column data type is Number of ID and i have sInNum parameter as varchar2.. How can i achieve this ?
I don't have other way to do this please help.Great demonstration for SQL INJECTION, was that part of your OCP training?
CREATE TABLE mtest (id NUMBER, mname VARCHAR2(255));
INSERT INTO mtest VALUES (1, 'test');
INSERT INTO mtest VALUES (2, 'test2');
COMMIT;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE san_test (sinnum VARCHAR2, outmsg OUT VARCHAR2)
IS
mnum VARCHAR2 (10);
strsql VARCHAR2 (250);
BEGIN
mnum := REPLACE (sinnum, '''', '');
strsql :=
'update mtest set
mname = ''Success''
where id in (' || mnum || ')';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE strsql;
COMMIT;
outmsg := 'Success';
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
outmsg := 'Err';
DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line (SQLERRM);
END;
SELECT *
FROM mtest;
ID MNAME
1 test
2 test2And now for the fun part:
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DECLARE
v_put_msg VARCHAR2(255);
BEGIN
san_test('1) OR (1=1', v_put_msg);
dbms_output.put_line(v_put_msg);
COMMIT;
END;
SELECT *
FROM mtest;
ID MNAME
1 Success
2 SuccessC.
