what's wrong with this SQL?
Posted: Jan 16, 2007 9:35 AM Reply
Hi, everyone:
when I insert into table, i use the fellowing SQL:
INSERT INTO xhealthcall_script_data
(XHC_CALL_ENDED, XHC_SWITCH_PORT, XHC_SCRIPT_ID, XHC_FAX_SPECIFIED)
VALUES (SELECT TO_DATE(HH_END_DATE||' '||HH_END_TIME,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS'), HH_SWITCHPORT, HH_SCRIPT,'N'
FROM tmp_healthhit_load WHERE HH_SCRIPT !='BROCHURE' UNION
SELECT TO_DATE(HH_END_DATE||' '||HH_END_TIME,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS'), HH_SWITCHPORT, HH_SCRIPT,'N' FROM tmp_healthhit_load WHERE HH_SCRIPT !='BROCHURE');
I always got an error like;
VALUES (SELECT TO_DATE(HH_END_DATE||' '||HH_END_TIME,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS'), HH_SWITCHPORT,
ERROR at line 3:
ORA-00936: missing expression
but I can't find anything wrong, who can tell me why?
thank you so much in advance

For starters, an insert select does not have a values clause.

Even I see "missing VALUES" as the only error

...and why are you doing a UNION on the exact same two queries?
(SELECT TO_DATE(HH_END_DATE||' '||HH_END_TIME,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS') ,HH_SWITCHPORT ,HH_SCRIPT ,'N' FROM tmp_healthhit_load WHERE HH_SCRIPT !='BROCHURE' UNION SELECT TO_DATE(HH_END_DATE||' '||HH_END_TIME,'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS') ,HH_SWITCHPORT ,HH_SCRIPT ,'N' FROM tmp_healthhit_load WHERE HH_SCRIPT !='BROCHURE');

Hi,
thank you for your answer, but the problem is, if I deleted "values" as you pointed out, and then execute it again, I got error like "ERROR at line 3:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel", and I was then disconnected with server, I have to relogin SQLplus, and do everything from beganing.
so what 's wrong caused disconnection, I can't find any triggers related. it is so wired?
I wonder if anyone can help me about this.
thank you very much

Hi,
acturlly what I do is debugging a previous developer's scipt for data loading, this script was called by Cron work, but it never can be successfully executed.
I think he use union for eliminating duplications of rows, I just guess.
thank you

Scratch the VALUES keyword then make sure that the select list matches the column list in number and type.
1 insert into marktest
2 (fld1, fld2, fld3, fld4, fld5)
3* select * from marktest
UT1 > /
16 rows created.

try this - just paste the code and give me the error- i mean past the entire error as it is if error occurs
INSERT INTO xhealthcall_script_data
(xhc_call_ended, xhc_switch_port, xhc_script_id,
xhc_fax_specified)
SELECT TO_DATE (hh_end_date || ' ' || hh_end_time, 'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS'),
hh_switchport, hh_script, 'N'
FROM tmp_healthhit_load
WHERE hh_script != 'BROCHURE'
UNION
SELECT TO_DATE (hh_end_date || ' ' || hh_end_time, 'MM/DD/YY HH24:MI:SS'),
hh_switchport, hh_script, 'N'
FROM tmp_healthhit_load
WHERE hh_script != 'BROCHURE';

Hi, Jagan:
thank you very much for your answer.
but when I execute it, I still can get error like:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
so wired, do you have any ideas?
thank you very much

And this one,
Aother question about SQL?
I thought I already told him to deal with
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel
problem first.
There's nothing wrong (syntax wise) with the query. (of course when no "value" in the insert)

Can anybody see what is wrong with this SQL statement?

Hey guys, just a quick question. Can anybody tell me what is wrong with this line of SQL? I keep getting a syntax error message. I've been trying for ages and I can't see any problem at all!"
{code}prepStat = connection.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO WeatherHistory (Date, Location, Overview, Temperature, WindDirection, WindSpeed, Pressure) VALUES ('"+date+"','"+location+"','"+temp+"','"+windDir+"','"+windSpd+"','"+pressure+"')");{code}
All the field names and variables definitely exist so I can't see what the problem is!

I've matched the correct number of column names and variables, but still no luck.
And how exactly am I misusing Prepared Statements here?As noted above, not according to the code you posted. I didn't just pluck something out of my @ss and throw it out there. There was a reason behind what I said. And, if you mean you changed it, and you still got an exception, then post that exception (completely), and your new code, which is, hopefully, using PreparedStatement, (properly).

What's wrong with this SQL Statement?

I hope somebody can help explain to me what is wrong wiht the
following SQL statement in my Recordest. It does not return an
error, but it will only filter records from the first variable
listed, 'varFirstName%'. If I try to use any other variables on my
search form,for example LastName, it returns all records. Why is it
doing this?
Here is the SQL statement:
SELECT *
FROM [Sysco Food Show Contacts]
WHERE FirstName LIKE 'varFirstName%' AND LastName LIKE
'varLastName%' AND OrganizationName LIKE 'varOrganizationName%' AND
Address LIKE 'varAddress%' AND City LIKE 'varCity%' AND State LIKE
'varState' AND PostalCode LIKE 'varPostalCode%'
The variables are defined as below:
Name Default Value Run-Time Value
varFirstName % Request.Form("FirstName")
varLastName % Request.Form("LastName")
...and such with all variables defined the same way.
Any help would be much appreciated. I am pulling my hair out
trying to make this Search Form work.

What's wrong with this sql query? Help

hi
i am having difficulty executing this query
ResultSet s=st.executeQuery("select * from employee where iden = ?"+id);
here in my program st is statement obg
iden is attribute name in table
id i am getting at run time from user
please help...it says wrong number of parameters
thank you

That's correct, get rid of the Question mark. Questions marks are used in PreparedStatements, but they are also used in pattern matching. I am assuming the iden is the table identity. Therefore, I am assuming it is numeric. If so, you can't use the question mark because pattern matching is only done with strings. If you are treating your statement as a PreparedStatement, then you have done it wrong. (See the API) Here is a code snippet from the API:PreparedStatement pstmt =
con.prepareStatement("UPDATE EMPLOYEES SET SALARY = ? WHERE ID = ?");
pstmt.setBigDecimal(1, 153833.00)
pstmt.setInt(2, 110592)It seems you are using a Statement object, so, you need to get rid of that question mark.

I have two tables
TABLE1
ORG VARCHAR2(1)
EMPNO VARCHAR2(10)
UNION_DUES NUMBER(7,2)
UNION_CODE VARCHAR2(5)
TABLE2
ORG VARCHAR2(1)
EMPNO VARCHAR2(10)
YEAR NUMBER(4)
CODE2 VARCHAR2(5)
EMPLOYEE_FIXED_AMOUNT NUMBER (7,2)
****** WHAT DO I WANT TO DO *****
there is one entry for each employee in TABLE1. There are multiple entries for each employee in TABLE2. I want to update TABLE2 for all the employees in TABLE1.
But only update those entries in TABLE2 where CODE2 = UNION_CODE and YEAR = 2002.
***** MY SQL ******
update TABLE2
set employee_fixed_amount =
(select union_dues from TABLE1
WHERE TABLE2.EMPNO = TABLE1.empno
and TABLE2.org = TABLE1.org
and TABLE2.code2 = TABLE1.union_code)
where year = 2002;
**** ORACLE ERROR PRODUCED ****
ora-01407cannot update (table2.employee_fixed_amount) to null

Either you have a NULL value for table1.union_dues or there is no match in table1 based on your criteria. So, you can check for these by:
update TABLE2
   set employee_fixed_amount =
         (select union_dues
            from TABLE1
           where TABLE2.EMPNO = TABLE1.empno
             and TABLE2.org = TABLE1.org
             and TABLE2.code2 = TABLE1.union_code)
where year = 2002
   and exists (select null
                 from table1
                where table1.empno = table2.empno
                  and table1.org = table2.org
                  and table1.union_code = table2.code2
                  and table1.union_dues is not null);or, if it is alright that the employee_fixed_amount be set to 0 when there is no match or the union_dues is NULL, then:
update TABLE2
   set employee_fixed_amount =
         nvl((select union_dues
                from TABLE1
               where TABLE2.EMPNO = TABLE1.empno
                 and TABLE2.org = TABLE1.org
                 and TABLE2.code2 = TABLE1.union_code), 0)
where year = 2002;

Can i know what is wrong with this sql?

i have an error of invalid character.
SELECT SUM(counter),TO_DATE(logdatetime)
FROM NYP_LIBPORTAL.PORTAL_HOME_NON_LOGIN_LOG
WHERE logdatetime = logdatetime
AND (TO_DATE(logdatetime, 'DD-MON-YYYY') BETWEEN
TO_DATE('01-JAN-2007', 'DD-MON-YYYY') AND TO_DATE('31-JAN-2007', 'DD-MON-YYYY'))
GROUP BY TO_DATE (logdatetime);
May i know is there any way that i need to make the changes?

your problem is likely to be the TO_DATE(logdatetime) - if logdatetime is a DATE datatype, then you should never, ever use TO_DATE on it.
But I suspect this has been sorted in a later post of yours?

ORA-00972: identifier is too long

Hi Alex,
Subquery factoring a.k.a. the with-clause should be possible on 9.2:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/statements_103a.htm#2075888
(used it myself as well on 9.2)
@OP
I recall having problems myself using PL/SQL Developer and trying to get the with clause to work on 9.2 some years ago.
A workaround might be to create a view based on the query.
Also, your error message is "ORA-00972: identifier is too long"...
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14219/e900.htm#sthref419
Can't test things currently, no 9.2 available at the moment, but perhaps tomorrow I'll have a chance.

The above is my sql clause, when I do a syntax check, it said:"Comma without preceding colon (after SELECT ?)"
Can you tell me what's wrong with this sql clause?
Thank you very much!

ENDSELECT.
eg:... INTO (f1, ..., fn)
Places the result set in the target area (f1, ..., fn). The fields of the result set are transported to the target fields fi from left to right. INTO (f1, ..., fn) is allowed only if a list with n elements is also specified in the SELECT clause.
If the result of a selection is a table, the data is retrieved in a processing loop introduced by SELECT and concluded by ENDSELECT. The processing passes through the loop once for each line read. If the result is a single record, the closing ENDSELECT is omitted.
Example
Output a list of all airlines (with short description and name):
TABLES SCARR.
DATA: CARRID LIKE SCARR-CARRID,
 CARRNAME LIKE SCARR-CARRNAME,
SELECT CARRID CARRNAME
 INTO (CARRID, CARRNAME)
 FROM SCARR.
WRITE: / CARRID, CARRNAME.
ENDSELECT

What's wrong with this function

What's wrong with this Function(PL/SQL) in this formaula column definition in Reports 6i
function currdateFormula return Date is
curr_date date;

Appreciate your help
Raja Lakshmi

hello,
what you are trying to do :
fetch the current date and return it as the result of the formula-column.
what you are actually doing :
fetch the current date, convert it to text, assign this text to a date-variable which causes an implicit type-conversion.
in your case you create a date-string with the format dd-mm-yyyy. the implicit conversion then tries to convert this string back to date using the NLS settings of your session. depending on your NLS_LANG and NLS_DATE_FORMAT this might work, if your session-date-format is dd-mm-yyyy which obviously it is NOT as you get the error.
what you should do :
select sysdate into curr_date from dual;
this fetches the sysdate and stores it in your date-variable. there is no type conversion needed what so ever.

* LOV query is invalid, a display and a return value are needed, the column names need to be different. If your query contains an in-line query, the first FROM clause in the SQL statement must not belong to the in-line query.
Thanks very much,

Ya know, I still don't know what's wrong with this.
declare
l_val varchar2(100) := nvl(apex_application.g_user,'ADAM');
begin
return 'select filter_name display_value, filter_id return_value
from otmgui_filter where username = '''|| l_val || '''';
end;
Gets the same error as above. All I'm trying to do is create a dropdown LOV which selects based on the apex_application.g_user.
What am I missing here?
Thanks,

What is wrong with this code? on(release) gotoAndPlay("2")'{'

Please could someone tell me what is wrong with this code - on(release)
gotoAndPlay("2")'{'
this is the error that comes up and i have tried changing it but it is not working
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=Layer 2, frame=1:Line 2: '{' expected
     gotoAndPlay("2")'{'
Total ActionScript Errors: 1 Reported Errors: 1
Thanks

If you have a frame labelled "2" then it should be:
on (release) {
    this._parent.gotoAndPlay("2");
or other wise just the following to go to frame 2:
on (release) {
     this._parent.gotoAndPlay(2);
You just had a missing curly bracket...

It says that "there was a problem connecting to the server". What's wrong with this, and how can I deal with this problem?

I just got my new iPad Mini2, and when I choose "sign in with your apple ID", it says that "there was a problem connecting to the server". What's wrong with this, and how can I deal with this problem?

1. Turn router off for 30 seconds and on again
2. Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

I can't figure out what's wrong with this code

First i want this program to allow me to enter a number with the EasyReader class and depending on the number entered it will show that specific line of this peom:
One two buckle your shoe
Three four shut the door
Five six pick up sticks
Seven eight lay them straight
Nine ten this is the end.
The error message i got was an illegal start of expression. I can't figure out why it is giving me this error because i have if (n = 1) || (n = 2) statements. My code is:
public class PoemSeventeen
public static void main(String[] args)
EasyReader console = new EasyReader();
System.out.println("Enter a number for the poem (0 to quit): ");
int n = console.readInt();
if (n = 1) || (n = 2)
System.out.println("One, two, buckle your shoe");
else if (n = 3) || (n = 4)
System.out.println("Three, four, shut the door");
else if (n = 5) || (n = 6)
System.out.println("Five, six, pick up sticks");
else if (n = 7) || (n = 8)
System.out.println("Seven, eight, lay them straight");
else if (n = 9) || (n = 10)
System.out.println("Nine, ten, this is the end");
else if (n = 0)
System.out.println("You may exit now");
else
System.out.println("Put in a number between 0 and 10");
I messed around with a few other thing because i had some weird errors before but now i have narrowed it down to just this 1 error.
