We access an Oracle database through a web application. The web application is published, hosted and administered off-site. One component of the web application are dashboards, which use SQL to return data from the system on regular intervals that are then displayed and can trigger alarms should certain thresholds be reached.
The SQL has several parameters that are assigned in the dashboard setup: LOCATION, OWNER_DEPT, USING_DEPT and DAYS_AHEAD and appear to be working properly. Here is the query:
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT DISTINCT
"MFIVE"."VIEW_WORK_REQ_OCC"."UNIT_NO" AS "UNIT NO", "MFIVE"."VIEW_WORK_REQ_OCC"."WORK_REQ_NO" AS "WORK REQ NO", "MFIVE"."VIEW_WORK_REQ_OCC"."JOB" AS "JOB",
CASE WHEN "MFIVE"."VIEW_WORK_REQ_OCC"."DUE_DATE" IS NULL THEN NULL ELSE ("MFIVE"."VIEW_WORK_REQ_OCC"."DUE_DATE") END AS "DUE DATE",
CASE WHEN "MFIVE"."VIEW_WORK_REQ_OCC"."FIRST_DATE" IS NULL THEN NULL ELSE ("MFIVE"."VIEW_WORK_REQ_OCC"."FIRST_DATE") END AS "FIRST DATE",
CASE WHEN "MFIVE"."VIEW_WORK_REQ_OCC"."LAST_DATE" IS NULL THEN NULL ELSE ("MFIVE"."VIEW_WORK_REQ_OCC"."LAST_DATE") END AS "LAST DATE"
FROM "MFIVE"."VIEW_WORK_REQ_OCC"
WHERE
("MFIVE"."VIEW_WORK_REQ_OCC"."MNT_PREVENTIVE_FL" = 'Y') AND
(UPPER("MFIVE"."VIEW_WORK_REQ_OCC"."LOCATION") LIKE UPPER(CONCAT(CONCAT('%', ':<LOCATION>'), '%'))) AND
(UPPER("MFIVE"."VIEW_WORK_REQ_OCC"."OWNER_DEPT") LIKE UPPER(CONCAT(CONCAT('%', ':<OWNER_DEPT>'), '%'))) AND
(UPPER("MFIVE"."VIEW_WORK_REQ_OCC"."USING_DEPT") LIKE UPPER(CONCAT(CONCAT('%', ':<USING_DEPT>'), '%'))) AND
("MFIVE"."VIEW_WORK_REQ_OCC"."DUE_DATE" >= SYSDATE + ':<DAYS_AHEAD>')
ORDER BY
"MFIVE"."VIEW_WORK_REQ_OCC"."UNIT_NO" ASC,
"MFIVE"."VIEW_WORK_REQ_OCC"."JOB" ASC,
CASE WHEN "MFIVE"."VIEW_WORK_REQ_OCC"."DUE_DATE" IS NULL THEN NULL ELSE ("MFIVE"."VIEW_WORK_REQ_OCC"."DUE_DATE") END AS "DUE DATE" ASC
)
The issue is with the statements involving "MFIVE"."VIEW_WORK_REQ_OCC"."DUE_DATE". We're attempting to return only values where DUE_DATE is greater than the SYSDATE plus the value in the DAYS_AHEAD parameter. Deleting these lines allows the query to execute properly; leaving them as-is returns the error ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis.
The majority of the SQL was lifted from the SQL as generated by an ad-hoc reporting component of the web application. The report runs properly, but we are not able to pass parameters through the ad-hoc reporting module. The modifications to the original were to add the bind variables.
I'm hoping someone can point me in the correct direction to remedy this issue. Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks to Kaushik Nayak for helping me see the forest for the trees.
The correction only affects the ORDER BY clause:
...
ORDER BY
"MFIVE"."VIEW_WORK_REQ_OCC"."UNIT_NO" ASC,
"MFIVE"."VIEW_WORK_REQ_OCC"."JOB" ASC,

I have the following problem retrieving messages from the OpenFire Monitoring Service plugin. I discovered that the error is due to an incorrect query in the database but I still cannot detect the error for which the query is not working correctly.

I get an error when doing the following query
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
Command line error:32 Column: 9
There is no LIMIT keyword available in Oracle and if you are using Oracle 12c you can use FETCH FIRST 100 ROWS ONLY instead of it.
You cannot use AS to give alias to the sub query and it is not recognised by Oracle. So either you can remove the alias completely as you are not using it anywhere or just remove the AS and keep the alias name part only which should be fine.
Here is a good SO link about the Oracle limiting result set and you can always look into other sites available such as Oracle base or the official document as well. For 11g solution you have to use row_number
I inherited a query that is used for extract information from Oracle Database and they want now to create a XML file using SSIS. So far I read several forum and blogs and I found a way to connect it but not sure how I should use this query. I found that Oracle use XMLElement to create the XML but I got
Unsupported Oracle data type USERDEFINED encountered. (System.Data.OracleClient)
when I tried to run the query. I will provide part of the original query, because it is quite large code
SELECT

and a huge bunch of left joins. then the where clause
So could someone guide me on how to solve this scenario I will more than happy, quite new using Oracle, I am more familiar with MS SQL + SSIS than Oracle + SSIS

For This particular case, I decided to use another ssis control that I downloaded, it seems that over here the settings used by the company didnt allow a good interaction between the oracle and the ms ssis.
This is the part of my query that has error:
, case when dsi.distributor_id in
('ALBQA','ASGLA','ASGNY','ASGR1','ASGSF','BIKU9','COAUU','CSWHP','DPIB1','DPID9',

'GRG8V','HED9Q','LAOJD','MCLFS','NOSYK','ORGK7','UNMQ9','OMAH1'
)
then 'Distributor'
else 'Direct'
end as is_direct
, SUM(dsi.cost) AS tot_cost
, SUM(CASE WHEN is_direct = 'Direct' THEN dsi.cost ELSE 0 END ) AS Direct_cost
It says that is_direct is an invalid column but I already indicated it above. Therefore, I was wondering if you could help me find where I went wrong.
Columns defined in your query cannot be used in other places in your query, whether it is in other columns, or WHERE clauses, etc.
I would suggest either placing these calculations into subqueries, or using WITH AS.
I use two cases in below query to get results of daction & ApprovalType.
While running the below query in Oracle SQL creates two new temp columns as daction_1 & ApprovalType _1 for daction & ApprovalType columns respectively. Now, i want to use these keywords in my IDOC code but since temp columns are created I'm not able to use them. How to resolve this?

Looking at column names I assume that Idoc is script language used in Oracle Webcenter Content Server (formerly Oracle UCM). I don't have a running instance on-hand to check, but I am pretty sure that you can create database view with columns you need and then see it as regular table in Configuration Manager. Following link provides some details of configuration process. The other option is to move your logic to Idoc code itself although it may be less performant.
i'm having an issue comparing a date in an access database. basically i'm parsing out a date from a text field, then trying to compare that date to another to only pull newer/older records.
so far i have everything working, but when i try to add the expression to the where clause, it's acting like it's not a date value.
here's the full SQL:
SELECT
Switch(Isdate(TRIM(LEFT(bc_testingtickets.notes, Instr(bc_testingtickets.notes, ' ')))) = false, 'NOT ASSIGNED!!!') AS [Assigned Status],
TRIM(LEFT(bc_testingtickets.notes, Instr(bc_testingtickets.notes, ' '))) AS [Last Updated Date],

bc_testingtickets.completedate,
Datevalue(TRIM(LEFT([bc_TestingTickets].[notes], Instr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes], ' ')))) AS datetest
FROM list_picklists AS list_picklists_3
RIGHT JOIN (list_picklists AS list_picklists_2
RIGHT JOIN (list_picklists AS list_picklists_1
RIGHT JOIN (bc_profilemain
RIGHT JOIN (((bc_testingtickets
LEFT JOIN clients
ON
bc_testingtickets.broker = clients.client_id)
LEFT JOIN list_picklists
ON
bc_testingtickets.status = list_picklists.id)
LEFT JOIN bc_profile2ticketmapping
ON bc_testingtickets.ticket_id =
bc_profile2ticketmapping.ticket_id)

AND ( list_picklists.TEXT ) <> 'Failed'
AND ( list_picklists.TEXT ) <> 'Rejected' )
AND ( ( bc_testingtickets.ticket_id ) <> 4386 ) )

DateValue(TRIM(LEFT([bc_TestingTickets].[notes], Instr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes], ' '))))
ORDER BY Datevalue(TRIM(LEFT([bc_TestingTickets].[notes], Instr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes], ' '))));
the value i'm trying to compare against a various date is this:
DateValue(Trim(Left([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],InStr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],' '))))
if i add a section to the where clause like below, i get the Data Type Mismatch error:
WHERE DateValue(Trim(Left([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],InStr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],' ')))) > #4/1/2012#
i've even tried using the DateValue function around the manual date i'm testing with but i still get the mismatch error:
WHERE DateValue(Trim(Left([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],InStr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],' ')))) > DateValue("4/1/2012")
any tips on how i can compare a date in this method? i can't change any fields in the database, ect, that's why i'm parsing the date in SQL and trying to manipulate it so i can run reports against it.
i've tried googling but nothing specifically talks about parsing a date from text and converting it to a date object. i think it may be a bug or the way the date is being returned from the left/trim functions. you can see i've added a column to the end of the SELECT statement called DateTest and it's obvious access is treating it like a date (when the query is run, it asks to sort by oldest to newest/newest to oldest instead of A-Z or Z-A), unlike the second column in the select.
thanks in advance for any tips/clues on how i can query based on the date.
edit:
i just tried the following statements in my where clause and still getting a mismatch:
CDate(Trim(Left([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],InStr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],' ')))) > #4/1/2012#
CDate(Trim(Left([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],InStr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],' ')))) >
CDate("4/1/2012") CDate(DateValue(Trim(Left([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],InStr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],' '))))) > #4/1/2012#
i tried with all the various combinations i could think of regarding putting CDate inside of DateValue, outside, ect. the CDate function does look like what i should be using though. not sure why it's still throwing the error.
here's a link to a screenshot showing the results of the query http://ramonecung.com/access.jpg. there's two screenshots in one image.
You reported you get Data Type Mismatch error with this WHERE clause.
WHERE DateValue(Trim(Left([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],
InStr([bc_TestingTickets].[notes],' ')))) > #4/1/2012#
That makes me wonder whether [bc_TestingTickets].[notes] can ever be Null, either because the table design allows Null for that field, or Nulls are prohibited by the design but are present in the query's set of candidate rows as the result of a LEFT or RIGHT JOIN.
If Nulls are present, your situation may be similar to this simple query which also triggers the data type mismatch error:
SELECT DateValue(Trim(Left(Null,InStr(Null,' '))));
If that proves to be the cause of your problem, you will have to design around it somehow. I can't offer a suggestion about how you should do that. Trying to analyze your query scared me away. :-(
It seems like you are having a problem with the type conversion. In this case, I believe that you are looking for the CDate function.
A problem might be the order of the date parts. A test in the Immediate window shows this
?cdate(#4/1/2012#)
01.04.2012
?cdate(#2012/1/4#)
04.01.2012
Write the dates backwards in the format yyyy/MM/dd and thus avoiding inadverted swapping of days and months!
DateValue("2012/1/4")
and
CDate(#2012/1/4#)
