After running the above code getting below mentioned error, kindly help me and resolve the issue
Error: unexpected symbol in " ON a.guest_id"
You have single quotes around the whole query, but also single quotes within the query; it's not being parsed the way you intend it to.
Depending on the larger context, something like this might work:
"Select a.guest_id, case ... 'old' else 'new' ... ON a.guest_id = b.guest_id"
or you might need to escape the single quotes with something like this:
'Select a.guest_id, case ... \'old\' else \'new\' ... ON a.guest_id = b.guest_id'
It depends on the context in which that query string appears, and how it parses quoted strings.

I transferred this code directly from SQL developer. Works perfectly in there.
SELECT
a.INCIDENT_NUMBER,
a.DETAILED_DESCRIPTION,
a.INCIDENT_ROOT_CAUSE
FROM
N_EVALUATION as a
INNER JOIN N_DISPOSITION as b
ON (a.INCIDENT_NUMBER = b.INCIDENT_NUMBER)
WHERE
b.DISPOSITION_LINE_NUM in (NULL, 1) AND
a.ACTIVE_FLAG = 'Y' AND
b.ACTIVE_FLAG = 'Y' AND
a.DETAILED_DESCRIPTION IS NOT NULL
However when I transfer the same exact code into Tableau to create a custom SQL query. It gives me an error;
An error occurred while communicating with the data source. Bad
Connection: Tableau could not connect to the data source. Oracle
database error 907: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
This has me completely stumped, not really sure what to do here. Any help or advice is much appreciated. I am more concerned regarding the missing right parenthesis rather than the bad connection.
Remove the AS from the FROM clause. Oracle does not recognize that.
In addition, this condition:
b.DISPOSITION_LINE_NUM in (NULL, 1)
Does not do what you expect. It never evaluates to true if b.DISPOSITION_LINE_NUM is NULL.
You should replace it with:
(b.DISPOSITION_LINE_NUM IS NULL OR b.DISPOSITION_LINE_NUM = 1)
Otherwise, your query looks like it has balanced parentheses, but you should write it as:
SELECT e.INCIDENT_NUMBER, e.DETAILED_DESCRIPTION, e.INCIDENT_ROOT_CAUSE
FROM N_EVALUATION e JOIN
N_DISPOSITION d
ON e.INCIDENT_NUMBER = d.INCIDENT_NUMBER
WHERE (d.DISPOSITION_LINE_NUM IS NULL OR d.DISPOSITION_LINE_NUM = 1) AND
e.ACTIVE_FLAG = 'Y' AND
d.ACTIVE_FLAG = 'Y' AND
e.DETAILED_DESCRIPTION IS NOT NULL;
Notes:
User meaningful table aliases rather than arbitrary letters (this uses abbreviations).
Do not use as in the FROM clause.
Be careful with NULL comparisons.
Finally, your original query is equivalent to:
SELECT e.INCIDENT_NUMBER, e.DETAILED_DESCRIPTION, e.INCIDENT_ROOT_CAUSE
FROM N_EVALUATION e JOIN
N_DISPOSITION d
ON e.INCIDENT_NUMBER = d.INCIDENT_NUMBER
WHERE d.DISPOSITION_LINE_NUM = 1 AND
e.ACTIVE_FLAG = 'Y' AND
d.ACTIVE_FLAG = 'Y' AND
e.DETAILED_DESCRIPTION IS NOT NULL;
This has no parentheses. So it cannot return that particular error.
The following code I have written works find. Outputs what I expect.
select distinct
mi_tm.st_event_time,
mi_tm.st_location,
mi_tm.st_log_class,

mi_tm.st_date <= {?End} and
mi_tm.st_sku_code = x_prod.prod_code (+) and
mi_tm.st_sku_code = x_igd.prod_code (+) and
x_igd.supplier_no = x_supplier.supplier_no (+) and
mi_tm.st_sku_code like '{?SKU}' and
mi_tm.st_log_class in ('TM_ADJUST_QTY', 'TM_CREATE', 'TM_DELETE')
However for this line
mi_tm.st_sku_code like '{?SKU}' and
I would like it to be able to expect a wildcard parameter, that will return all values run between the dates. Just querying a % seems to crash my report. and I have tried adding '%' around the parameter. But I either get an invalid number error, or SQL not ended properly. I would be grateful for any help on this issue.
Edit: Place this at the bottom
If {?SKU} = '*' then
mi_tm.st_sku_code like '*'
else mi_tm.st_sku_code like '{?SKU}'
I'm trying to write a query to go against "Signed Over Punch" using the following query:
SELECT
CASE when substring(MyField,16,1)='C' then cast(substring(MyField,9,7)+'0' AS decimal(20,2)*-1 FROM MyTable
Here's some sample data:
0000069A0000006C00000000#0000000#
From the above data, the position starts at 16 ("C") with a length of 1
And the other starts at position 9 (0) with a length of 7
But I keep getting this error:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 139
Incorrect syntax near '*'.
Desired Output:
00000063 (The C = 3)
What am I doing wrong?
Please refer to this page for reference for signed over punch:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signed_overpunch
You need to learn about operator precedence. This code:
[..snip..] then cast(substring(MyField,9,7)+'0' AS decimal(20,2)*-1
is executing as if it had been written
[..snip..] then cast(...) AS (decimal(20,2) * -1)
^------------------^
You're not multiplying the result of the cast, you're trying to mutiply the decimal(20,2), which is NOT a multiplicable value.
Try
then (cast(substring(MyField,9,7)+'0' AS decimal(20,2)) * -1
^------------------------------------------------^
instead.
Not sure if this will fix it or not, but you are missing a closing parenthesis. You are also missing the END statement I recommend indenting things like this to make it easier to spot these problems.
SELECT CASE
WHEN substring(MyField,16,1)='C'
THEN cast(substring(MyField,9,7)+'0' AS decimal(20,2))*-1
END
FROM MyTable
try so:
SELECT CASE when substring(MyField,16,1)='C' then cast(substring(MyField,9,7)+'0' AS decimal(20,2)) *-1 end FROM MyTable
The problems were a missing " ) " at the defore " *-1 " and a missing "end" to terminate the case when condition.
With these 2 fix the result for your example '0000069A0000006C00000000#0000000#' is -60.00.
I have a problem with BIRT when I try to pass multiple values from report parameter.
I'm using BIRT 2.6.2 and eclipse.
I'm trying to put multiple values from cascading parameter group last parameter "JDSuser". The parameter is allowed to have multiple values and I'm using list box.
In order to be able to do that I'm writing my sql query with where-in statement where I replace text with javascript. Otherwise BIRT sql can't get multiple values from report parameter.
My sql query is
select jamacomment.createdDate, jamacomment.scopeId,
jamacomment.commentText, jamacomment.documentId,
jamacomment.highlightQuote, jamacomment.organizationId,
jamacomment.userId,
organization.id, organization.name,
userbase.id, userbase.firstName, userbase.lastName,
userbase.organization, userbase.userName,
document.id, document.name, document.description,
user_role.userId, user_role.roleId,
role.id, role.name
from jamacomment jamacomment left join
userbase on userbase.id=jamacomment.userId
left join organization on
organization.id=jamacomment.organizationId
left join document on
document.id=jamacomment.documentId
left join user_role on
user_role.userId=userbase.id
right join role on
role.id=user_role.roleId
where jamacomment.scopeId=11
and role.name in ( 'sample grupa' )
and userbase.userName in ( 'sample' )
and my javascript code for that dataset on beforeOpen state is:
if( params["JDSuser"].value[0] != "(All Users)" ){
this.queryText=this.queryText.replaceAll('sample grupa', params["JDSgroup"]);
var users = params["JDSuser"];
//var userquery = "'";
var userquery = userquery + users.join("', '");
//userquery = userquery + "'";
this.queryText=this.queryText.replaceAll('sample', userquery);
}
I tryed many different quote variations, with this one I get no error messages, but if I choose 1 value, I get no data from database, but if I choose at least 2 values, I get the last chosen value data.
If I uncomment one of those additional quote script lines, then I get syntax error like this:
The following items have errors:
Table (id = 597):
+ An exception occurred during processing. Please see the following message for details: Failed to prepare the query execution for the
data set: Organization Cannot get the result set metadata.

Also, I should tell you that i'm doing this by looking from working example. Everything is the same, the previous code resulted to the same syntax error, I changed it to this script which does the same.
The example is available here:
http://developer.actuate.com/community/forum/index.php?/files/file/593-default-value-all-with-multi-select-parsmeter/
If someone could give me at least a clue to what I should do that would be great.
You should always use the value property of a parameter, i.e.:
var users = params["JDSuser"].value;
It is not necessary to surround "userquery" with quotes because these quotes are already put in the SQL query arround 'sample'. Furthermore there is a mistake because userquery is not yet defined at line:
var userquery = userquery + users.join("', '");
This might introduce a string such "null" in your query. Therefore remove all references to userquery variable, just use this expression at the end:
this.queryText=this.queryText.replaceAll('sample', users.join("','"));
Notice i removed the blank space in the join expression. Finally once it works finely, you probably need to make your report input more robust by testing if the value is null:
if( params["JDSuser"].value!=null && params["JDSuser"].value[0] != "(All Users)" ){
//Do stuff...
}
Background
Framework: Codeignighter/PyroCMS
I have a DB that stores a list of products, I have a duplicate function in my application that first looks for the common product name so it can add a 'suffix' value to the duplicated product.
Code in my Products model class
$product = $this->get($id);
$count = $this->db->like('name', $product->name)->get('products')->num_rows();
$new_product->name = $product->name . ' - ' . $count;
On the second line the application fails only when the $product->name contains quotes.
I was with the understanding that Codeignighter escaped all strings so I dont know why I get this error.
So I tried to use MySQL escape string function but that didn't help either.
The Error Message
A Database Error Occurred
Error Number: 1064
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 's Book%'' at line 3
SELECT * FROM `products` WHERE `name` LIKE '%Harry\\'s Book%'
var_dump
Below is the output of doing a var_dump on product->name before and after the line in question;
string 'Harry's Book' (length=12)
A Database Error Occurred
Error Number: 1064
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 's Book%'' at line 3
SELECT * FROM `products` WHERE `name` LIKE '%Harry\\'s Book%'
Let's do some testing about this.
Here is what you are doing
$count = $this->db->like('name', $product->name)->get('products')->num_rows();
And i suspect $product->name contains this.
Harry's Book
As we know this is coming from the database table as you are using.
Where you are using the upper query mentioned it is wrapping it with
single quotes and producing this result.
SELECT * FROM `products` WHERE `name` LIKE '%Harry\\'s Book%'
As you see it is escaping apostrophy to tell it is not end of string
Therefore escaping it with two slashes.One for apostrophy and one for being in single quote.
What you have to do is
Before assigning the parameter to query wrap it with double quotes.
$product_name = "$product->name";
And now pass it to query.
$count = $this->db->like('name', $product_name)->get('products')->num_rows();
The output will be this
SELECT * FROM `products` WHERE `name` LIKE '%Harry\'s Book%'
You see the differece here. It contains single slash now and the record will
be found.
Other answers didn't work for me, this does though:
$count = $this->db->query("SELECT * FROM `default_firesale_products` WHERE `title` LIKE '".addslashes($product['title'])."'")->num_rows();
Whenever CI Active Record mangles your queries you can always just put a raw query in instead and have full control.
Try this, using stripslashes() around $product->name:
$count = $this->db->like('name', stripslashes($product->name))->get('products')->num_rows();
CI automatically escapes characters with active records but I bet that it's already escaped if you entered it previously via active record in CI. So now it is doing a double escape.
Update: You may also want to try adding the following before you query:
$this->db->_protect_identifiers = FALSE;
Last try: try querying this way since it seems like the like active record is causing the error:
$like = $product->name;
$this->db->query("SELECT * FROM `products` WHERE `name` LIKE '%$like%'");
