I 'm using Oracle Application Express Edition 4.0.2.00.09
While creating the table I'm getting error "ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis", I have checked previously asked question on this however could not make it through.
Create table NewOne (
PersonId Int(10),
Hire_Date varchar(255),
Tenure number(255),
Review varchar(255),
Next_Day varchar(255),
Last_day varchar(255)
)
Make the changes below
Change int to number
Change number(255) to number(38) , as 38 is the max allowed for number
It should work fine.
Check out the db fiddle link - https://dbfiddle.uk/?rdbms=oracle_11.2&fiddle=d1fecc3e55708115d2326fdeec34243d
You can't specify a length for the INT subtype, it is what it is. You should use the NUMBER type instead.
Once you fix that you'll find that your tenure column is specified with 255 digits, I don't think that's close to reality and will also error.
You should be using VARCHAR2 not VARCHAR on Oracle.
int is a perfectly acceptable Oracle type. However, int(10) is not. Number itself is limited to a max of 38. And Oracle recommend varchar2() instead of varchar(). So I would recommend:
Create table NewOne (
PersonId Int,
Hire_Date varchar2(255),
Tenure number,
Review varchar2(255),
Next_Day varchar2(255),
Last_day varchar2(255)
);
Here is a db<>fiddle

I saw many others opened a question related to same problem however none of the answer addresses to the problem I have.
I am running below code on Oracle Live SQL and getting the error
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
create table CUST_ORDER (
ord_id NUMBER(38) CONSTRAINT cusordtb_ordid_pk PRIMARY KEY,
cust_id NUMBER(38) NOT NULL,
order_date DATE(12) NOT NULL
);
I am pretty sure I am not missing any parenthesis. Does anyone have the solution?
The Oracle date datatype does not take a length.
Consider:
create table CUST_ORDER (
ord_id NUMBER(38) CONSTRAINT cusordtb_ordid_pk PRIMARY KEY,
cust_id NUMBER(38) NOT NULL,
order_date DATE NOT NULL
);
Date doenot take a length. So you need not specify the same
I want to create this simple table in oracle application express but i keep getting the error
ORA-00904: : invalid identifier
and I have no idea why.
CREATE TABLE ArtWork (
ArtWorkId NUMBER (6,0) CONSTRAINT aw_pk PRIMARY KEY,
Name VARCHAR2 (20),
Desc VARCHAR2 (25)
);
desc is a reserved word (it is used to to specifiy the sort direction, for example in an order by clause).
You need to either surround it with double quotes, or better yet change your column name to something that does not clash with a language keyword, so you don't need to worry about it later on:
CREATE TABLE ArtWork (
ArtWorkId NUMBER (6,0) CONSTRAINT aw_pk PRIMARY KEY,
Name VARCHAR2 (20),
Description VARCHAR2 (25)
);
Reserved keywords shouldn't be used as identifiers as they are for implicit usages. Hence change desc to some other name like description
Probably a simple question but I cannot see where i have made a mistake, i'm new to oracle and appreciate any help.
The code I have done to get the error is below;
CREATE TABLE Bug
(
BugID varchar(5),
BugType varchar(10),
BugTime time,
BugDesc varchar(10),
primary key(BugID)
)
I have a suspicion its the time datatype that is causing this error but again i am not sure why.
There is no time datatype in Oracle. You probably want date instead, which can be used to store date and time:
CREATE TABLE Bug
(
BugID varchar2(5),
BugType varchar2(10),
BugTime date,
BugDesc varchar2(10),
primary key(BugID)
)
Also, you want to use varchar2 instead of varchar, which is being deprecated by Oracle.
Instead of time use timestamp-

I am trying to create a table in Oracle a would like to make a data type that is a year:
create table testingTable
(
testID varchar2(3) primary key,
dateDeveloped year(4)
);
The error message I am getting with this is
Error at Command Line : 16 Column : 19
Error report -

Thank you for your time.
In order to have the community opinion on "how to store year only in a table", I've posted two diametrically opposite answers. I've made them community wiki, so feel free to vote up or down according to your opinion.
If you only want to store 4-digit years, why should you bother with the DATE type? Use a NUMBER(4) instead:
create table testingTable
(
testID varchar2(3) primary key,
yearDeveloped number(4)
);
That way, you will have direct access to the year when using your field.

If you want to store "point in time" you should use the DATE type:
create table testingTable
(
testID varchar2(3) primary key,
dateDeveloped date
);
If you are only interested in the year component, it is up to you to extract that when using that field:
extract(year from dateDeveloped)
At insert time, you will convert the 4-digit year to a proper date:
to_date('1984', 'YYYY') -- evaluating to the rather surprising 11/01/1984
Looks like you were using wrong syntax. It should be something like this.
INTERVAL YEAR (precision) TO MONTH
A period of time, represented as years and months. The precision value specifies the number of digits in the YEAR field of the date. The precision can be from 0 to 9, and defaults to 2 for years. Check here for more info
create table testingTable
(
testID varchar2(3) primary key,
dateDeveloped INTERVAL YEAR(4) TO MONTH
);
SQLPLUS says I have missing left parenthesis with this statement in my sql script..
CREATE TABLE people(
id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR2
);
I had uploaded my script with sftp, could that have played around with the script?
VARCHAR2 is a type that needs a maximum size/length. Try something like...
varchar2(50)
Your missing left parenthesis is the parenthesis that surrounds the size.
CREATE TABLE people(
id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR2(50)
);
You need to specify a size for the VARCHAR2 data type.
E.g. VARCHAR2(30)
SQL*Plus is looking for the brackets around the VARCHAR2 size definition.
You are getting this error because you didn't specify the character with datatype varchar2.
Try something like this:
CREATE TABLE people(
id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
name VARCHAR2(20) );
You need to specify the size of Varchar2.
For example:- Name Varchar2(50)
Note:- The maximum size of the Varchar2 is 4000.
