I am trying to do an update in 2 tables, but i have this error:
Error SQL: ORA-00933: "SQL command not properly ended".
Could you help me please? The query is:
UPDATE a
SET a.ACTORID_ = SUBSTR(a.ACTORID_, 2, LENGTH(a.ACTORID_)),
b.TASKACTORID_ = SUBSTR(b.TASKACTORID_, 2, LENGTH(b.TASKACTORID_))
FROM jbpm_taskinstance AS a
INNER JOIN jbpm_log AS b
ON b.TASKACTORID_ = a.ACTORID_
WHERE a.ACTORID_ = b.TASKACTORID_
AND b.TASKINSTANCE_ IN (
SELECT ID_
FROM jbpm_taskinstance
WHERE a.PROCINST_ =b.PROCINST_)
AND b.TASKACTORID_ = a.ACTORID_;
Welcome to the world of strange and misleading Oracle error messages!
With experience, you can spot the error by sight, as #a_horse_with_no_name has done.
If you don't see the error immediately, I'd recommend to make the query simpler step by step until the error disappears. In your case, I would remove the AND b.taskinstance_ IN () subquery and check if the same error comes up. Then I'd remove the SUBSTR with a simple constant, like SET a.ACTORID_ = 'a'. Then I'd remove the JOIN, updating only table A. This will run ok, so you need to read up Oracle's documentation on UPDATE.

I'm trying to create new view from 2 different table of same schema. This is my query, let me know if I'm missing anything. When I check the syntax it is fine and test it, throws 00933 error.
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW "APDA"."countview"
(
"dealidint", "companyidint", "nametxt", "county", "street",
"state", "city", "zip", "geocodelatdec", "geocodelongdec",
"volidint", "reportdate", "vehicletotalint", "salvagetotalint"
)
AS
SELECT a."dealidint",
a."companyidint",
a."nametxt",
a."county",
a."street",
a."state",
a."city",
a."zip",
a."geocodelatdec",
a."geocodelongdec",
c."dealervolumeidint",
c."reportdate",
c."vehicletotalint",
c."salvagetotalint"
FROM "APDA"."company" a
JOIN
"APDA"."volume" c
ON c."dealidint" = a."dealidint";
I don't see the reason. The only suspect thing I notice is the two blank lines. In SQLPlus I don't think these would cause this error, but they would cause the command to be misinterpreted.
My suggestions are:
- try a different tool. If you are getting the error in SQL Developer, try it in SQLPlus. It won't necessarily work, but you might get different feedback.
- reduce it to a minimal statement that works, then add elements back in one at a time until the error occurs
your column name "volidint" not in selected column, i see "dealervolumeidint" select vs "volidint".
Column name "volidint" is not available in your below select query. Please correct that by using "As".
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW "APDA"."countview"

"dealidint", "companyidint", "nametxt", "county", "street",

Thanks to all you pitched to answer my query. The one I have shared is a stripped down query with the same syntax. The query was fine but my actual query has an extra character on the join. Which is like - "APDA"."vvolume".
After that I was able to create the view.
Thanks again.
First of all, I know there are already questions and answers about it, this thread being the one that is closest to what I need:
SQL Update to the SUM of its joined values
However, I get a syntax error (operator missing) that seems to occur close to the FROM clause. However I can't see it. Does it not like the FROM itself ? I am not used to using FROM in an update statement but it seems like it's valid from the QA I just linked :|
Any idea why there would be a syntax error there ?
I am using Access 2007 SP3.
Edit:
Wow, I forgot to post the query...
UPDATE r
SET
r.tempsmoy_requete_min = tmm.moy_mob_requete
FROM
rapports AS r INNER JOIN
(SELECT
id_fichier,
Round(Sum(temps_requete_min)/3,0) As moy_mob_requete,
Round(Sum(temps_analyse_min)/3,0) As moy_mob_analyse,
Round(Sum(temps_maj_min)/3,0) As moy_mob_maj,
Round(Sum(temps_rap_min)/3,0) As moy_mob_rap,
Round(Sum(temps_ddc_min)/3,0) As moy_mob_ddc
FROM maintenances
WHERE
periode In (10,9,8) And
annee=2011
GROUP BY id_fichier) AS tmm ON rapports.id_rapport = tmm.id_fichier
WHERE
1=0
The WHERE 1=0 part is because I want to test further the subquery before running it.
Edit: This is some simpler query I am trying. I get a different error this time. It now tells me that tempsmoy_requete_min (and probably all other left operands) are not part of an aggregate function... which is the point of my query. Any idea ?
UPDATE
rapports INNER JOIN maintenances ON rapports.id_rapport = maintenances.id_fichier
SET
rapports.tempsmoy_requete_min = Round(Sum(temps_requete_min)/3,0),
rapports.tempsmoy_analyse_min = Round(Sum(temps_analyse_min)/3,0),
rapports.tempsmoy_maj_min = Round(Sum(temps_maj_min)/3,0),
rapports.tempsmoy_rap_min = Round(Sum(temps_rap_min)/3,0),
rapports.tempsmoy_ddc_min = Round(Sum(temps_ddc_min)/3,0)
WHERE
maintenances.periode In (10,9,8) And
maintenances.annee=2011 AND
1=0
I tried adapting your first query sample, and was able to make your error go away. However then I encountered a different error ('Operation must use an updateable query').
It may be possible to overcome that error, too. However, I found it easier to use a domain function instead of a join to retrieve the replacement value.
UPDATE rapports
SET tempsmoy_requete_min = Round(DSum("temps_requete_min",
"maintenances",
"periode In (10,9,8) AND annee=2011 "
& "AND id_fichier='" & id_rapport
& "'")/3, 0);
If this suggestion works for tempsmoy_requete_min with your data, you will have to extend it to the other fields you want to replace. That won't be pretty. You could make it less ugly with a saved query which you then use as the "Domain" parameter for DSum() ... that could allow you to use a simpler "Criteria" parameter.
UPDATE r
should be
UPDATE rapports
You can't reliably use an alias in the update target.
Using Advantage Database Server 8.1 I am having trouble executing a successful query. I am trying to do the following
SELECT * FROM Persons
WHERE LastName IN ('Hansen','Pettersen')
To check for multiple values in a column. But I get an error when I try to execute this query in Advantage.
Edit - Error
poQuery: Error 7200: AQE Error: State = 42000; NativeError = 2115; [iAnywhere Solutions][Advantage SQL Engine]Expected lexical element not found: ( There was a problem parsing the
WHERE clause in your SELECT statement. -- Location of error in the SQL statement is: 46
And here is the SQL i'm executing
select * from "Pat Visit" where
DIAG1 IN = ('43644', '43645', '43770', '43771', '43772', '43773', '43774',

'98962', '99078')
Done
Does anyone have any Idea how I could do something similar in advantage that would be efficient as well?
Thanks
You have an extraneous = in the statement after the IN. It should be:
select * from "Pat Visit" where
DIAG1 IN ('43644', '43645', <snip> )
I'm working on a IBM iseries v6r1m0 system.
I'm trying to execute a very simple query :
select * from XG.ART where DOS = 998 and (DES like 'ALB%' or DESABR like 'ALB%')
The columns are:
DOS -> numeric (3,0)
DES -> Graphic(80) CCSID 1200
DESABR -> Garphic(25) CCSID 1200
I get :
SQL State : 58004

If I change DES into REF (graphic(25)), it works...
EDIT :
I run some tests this afternoon, and it is very strange :
Just after the creation of the table/indexes, I have no errors.
If I insert some datas : error
If I clear the table : error
If I remove an index (see below) : it works (with or without datas)
!!
The index is :
create index XG.GTFAT_ART_B on XG.ART(
DOS,
DESABR,
ART_ID
)
Edit 2 :
Here is the job log (sorry, it is in French...)
It sais :

I finally contacted IBM.
It was an old bug from v5.
I have installed the latest PTF, and now, it works.
You need to use the GRAPHIC scalar function to convert your character literals on the LIKE predicate.
CREATE TABLE QTEMP/TEST (F1 GRAPHIC(80))
INSERT INTO QTEMP/TEST (F1) VALUES (GRAPHIC('TEST'))
SELECT * FROM QTEMP/TEST WHERE F1 LIKE GRAPHIC('TE%')
I know this guy got his problem fixed with an update. But here is something that worked for me that might work for the next guy here who has the problem.
My problem query had a lot of common table expressions. Most of them did not create tables with a whole lot of records. So if I figured that the maximum number of records a CTE would make was 1000, I added a "Fetch first 9999 rows only" to it. I knew that the CTE couldn't possibly have more rows than that. I guess the query optimizer had less to think about with that added.
If you have that problem and you don't have the option to upgrade or talk to IBM, I hope this help you.
For other people getting this errore, I encountered it on an IBM i Series v7r3, when tried an UPDATE, retrieving the value to be set on a field using a inner SELECT where multiple results where reduced to 1, using DISTINCT. I solved the problem removing DISTINCT and adding FETCH FIRST 1 ROW ONLY at the end of the inner SELECT.
E.g.: changed from
UPDATE MYTABLE AS T1
SET T1.FIELD1 = (
SELECT DISTINCT T2.FIELD5
FROM MYTABLE AS T2
WHERE T1.FIELD2 = T2.FIELD2
AND T1.FIELD3 = T2.FIELD3
)
WHERE T1.FIELD4 = 'XYZ'
to
UPDATE MYTABLE AS T1
SET T1.FIELD1 = (
SELECT T2.FIELD5
FROM MYTABLE AS T2
WHERE T1.FIELD2 = T2.FIELD2
AND T1.FIELD3 = T2.FIELD3
FETCH FIRST 1 ROW ONLY
)
WHERE T1.FIELD4 = 'XYZ'
SQL Server novice here.
UPDATE dbo.ObjectivesApproved
SET dbo.ObjectivesApproved.VAP = 'Y'
WHERE ((dbo.Approved.Cri_Group In ('X01' ,'X02' ,'X03' ,'X04' ,'X05' ,'X07' ,'X08' ,'X09' ,'X10' ,'X11' ,'X12' ,'X13' ,'X14')))
gives the following error
The multi-part identifier "dbo.Approved.Cri_Group" could not be bound.
What's causing the error?
Update: The above query was a result of trial and error. I'm updating an Access Application to SQL server, and having some trouble with the slightly different dialects of SQL
This is my original Query.
UPDATE dbo.Approved
INNER JOIN dbo.ObjectivesApproved ON dbo.Approved.ID = dbo.ObjectivesApproved.ID
SET dbo.ObjectivesApproved.VAP = 'Y'
WHERE ((dbo.Approved.Cri_Group
In ('X01' ,'X02' ,'X03' ,'X04' ,'X05' ,'X07' ,'X08' ,'X09' ,'X10' ,'X11' ,'X12' ,'X13' ,'X14')));
This gives the error - Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'INNER'
thanks
That would translate into
UPDATE
OA
SET
OA.VAP = 'Y'
FROM
dbo.Approved AS A
INNER JOIN dbo.ObjectivesApproved OA ON A.ID = OA.ID
WHERE
A.Cri_Group IN ('X01' ,'X02' ,'X03' ,'X04' ,'X05' ,'X07' ,'X08' ,'X09' ,'X10' ,'X11' ,'X12' ,'X13' ,'X14')
You are not specifying that the update also uses the Approved table anywhere, instead you just go ahead and use one if its columns.
On another note, your update looks logically flawed too as you'll update the ObjectivesApproved records irrespective of what they contain, i.e. there is no relation mentioned between ObjectivesApproved and Approved.
