Whats wrong in this SQL - Help Required..

Hi,
Can you please tell me what is wrong in this SQL Query.
select
case
when
(SELECT territory_code
FROM
          fnd_territories
          where territory_code like 'BR') then
(SELECT description
                    FROM fnd_descr_flex_contexts_tl
WHERE descriptive_flexfield_name='JG_PO_VENDOR_SITES'
                    AND descriptive_flex_context_code='JL.BR.APXVDMVD.SITES')
else
NULL
end result
FROM dual;
Thanks,

Based on the info supplied, here's a few possibilities,
you've typed the table name incorrectly
You've not restricted the results correctly,
you're using a version of oracle that doesn't support the CASE expression
You're using SQL server, which doesn't have the dual table.
you've / someone has manipulated teh dual table so that it now has 4billion and one rows
The subquery in your case statement returns more than one row.
1. It's poorly/not formatted.
2. It's not in code tags
3. You haven't given us anywhere near enough info e.g. Error messages, what you're actually trying to do etc, etc

ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
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.

Well, I did not realize column with QTY in the name is stored as string. Then your issue is values stored in cr.rslt_qty - at least one is not numeric. Keep in mind balnk string will fail:

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.

...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 > /

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'

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)

Whats wrong with this query.can anyone help me......

select CASE WHEN TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(TO_CHAR(START_TIME_TIMESTAMP,'DDMMYYYY HH24:MM:SS'),13,2))>0 AND TO_NUMBER(SUBSTR(TO_CHAR(START_TIME_TIMESTAMP,'YYYYMMDD HH24:MM:SS'),13,2)) <14
THEN TO_DATE(CONCAT(SUBSTR(TO_CHAR(START_TIME_TIMESTAMP,'YYYYMMDD HH24:MM:SS'),13,2)||'00',SUBSTR(TO_CHAR(START_TIME_TIMESTAMP,'YYYYMMDD HH24:MI:SS'),16)||'00'),'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS') end
from table;
i have written this query.whats wrong with this query..........
the error is "literal does not match format string"
Reegards soumen

Why does your date_format loose, ununify and not fix ?
And what is your exact requirement?

First...Stop screaming. It's rude.
Next...there are some minor problems with your feed. "Drum n Bass" is not a iTunes category. Stick with <itunes:category text="Music" /> remove the others.
Not required, but recommend to add an <itunes:explicit> tag with a Y or N depending on what suits your podcast. The iTunes staff will remove your feed if it isn't tagged properly.
MP3 audio files should have a type="audio/mpeg".
Keep the Podcast spec handy...the categories and other info listed in the spec.
Test your feed with http://www.feedvalidator.org it will point out problems with your feed.
The bigger problems stem from your podcast enclosure, specifically the URL.
The URL you have listed to the podcast mp3 apparently has changed so iTunes can't download the file. It also appears that you are using a "free download" kind of service that uses web page based downloads, which might account for why the URL keeps changing. Don't think that iTunes will be able to properly download the file.

What wrong with this?

I have a video that has sound, I brought it into afteraffects, made a composition and made some changes. I exported the composition (rendered it) for quick time to edit in photoshop - the video is about 7 minutes.
Playing the video there is no sound....why?
Bringing the video into photoshop for editing with content aware fill creates 500+ frames......is that normal?
also whats the easiest way to move between aftereffects and photoshop in terms of editing frames? can I make changes in photoshop and watch it update in after effects?

What wrong with this?
Everything! Sorry, it's simply the most ill-conceived workflow I could imagine.
Playing the video there is no sound....why?
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/426347?tstart=0
Bringing the video into photoshop for editing with content aware fill creates 500+ frames......is that normal?
Yes. All video editing in PS is limited to 500 or 1000 frames, repsectively. There is no way to extend that range. Read the PS help!
also whats the easiest way to move between aftereffects and photoshop in terms of editing frames?
You don't. What you have in mind won't work, anyways. Content Aware Fill only works per frame and has no temporal stabilization, so each frame will have a different pattern and the resulting animation would flicker and wobble.
can I make changes in photoshop and watch it update in after effects?
That's what use File --> Reload Footage for or simply close and reopen the project.

for(int i =0; i < rowCount; i++) {

it should be
private void clearDefaultTableModel(DefaultTableModel dtm) {
   int rowCount = dtm.getRowCount();
   for(int i =0; i < rowCount; i++) {
     dtm.removeRow(0);
}or another way

What's wrong with this piece of code:
clickhereButton.addActionListener(this);

That's my button's name.
Everytime I try to complie the .java file with this code in it it says:
Identifier expected: clickhereButton.addActionListener(this);

Please help.

You must have that code in a method or an initilizer block... try moving it to eg. the constructor.

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!

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).

HELP PLEASE - WHATS WRONG WITH THIS CODE

Hi. I get this message coming up when I try to compile the code,
run:
java.lang.NullPointerException
at sumcalculator.SumNumbers.<init>(SumNumbers.java:34)
at sumcalculator.SumNumbers.main(SumNumbers.java:93)
Exception in thread "main"
Java Result: 1

I am not sure whats wrong with the code. Any assistance would be nice. The code is below.
package sumcalculator;

Thank you. How do i amend this? I have defined value1though.Yes, you did - but after the call to addFocusListener(...). It needs to be before it.
BTW, you did the same thing with "value2.addFocusListener(this)" and "sum.setEditable(true)" on the next two lines. You're attempting to call a method on an object that doesn't exist yet (i.e., you haven't called new yet).

Whats wrong w/ this??

ive tried for atleast an hour.. and im not that good at java yet :P im 16 but wats wrong w/ this.. any help would b greatly appreciated.. its off the book a guy gave me to get me started.. and it will javac but wen i java it. it says... Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main
//Purpose: Displays a colored rectangle within a window.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class ColoredRectangle {
     // instance wariables to describe object attributes
     private int width;     // rectangle width
     private int height;     // rectangle height
     private int x;          // rectange x-coordinate position
     private int y;          // rectangle y-coordinate position
     private JFrame window;     //window displaying rectangle
     private Color color;     //color of rectangle
     // ColoredRectangle(): default constructor
     public ColoredRectangle() {
          window = new JFrame("Box Fun");
          window.setSize(200, 200);
          width = 40;
          height = 20;
          x = 80;
          y = 90;
          color = Color.BLUE;
          window.setVisible(true);
     // paint(): display the rectangle in its window
     public void paint() {
          Graphics g = window.getGraphics();
          g.setColor(color);
          g.fillRect(x, y, width, height);
}

You'll have better luck getting help if you communicate clearly, using correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation.
ive I've (Capital "I", apostrophe.) tried for atleast an hour.. (Just one period please, or none and make it a compund sentence.) and And (Capital "A" if you're starting a new sentence.) im I'm not that good at java yet. (Period.) :P im I'm 16 but wats what's wrong w/ this.. (Just one period please.) any Any (Capital "A") help would b be greatly appreciated.. (Why do you keep using two periods?) its It's off the book a guy gave me to get me started.. (Again.) and And (Sentences start with captials.) it will javac but wen when i I java it. (Comma, not period.) it says... Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: main
The error message is telling you exactly what's wrong: You need a method with the signature public static void main(String[] args)[http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/cupojava/]
