I keep trying to create a basic table. Every time I try to create the table I get the error
literal does not match format string
I'm trying to limit the years of the tournament between 2005 and 2100. The error is between DATE '2005'.
This is my code:
Create table Tournament_T
(Tournament_name VARCHAR (50) PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL,
Tournament_year INTEGER NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT RANGE CHECK (Tournament_year BETWEEN DATE '2005' AND '2100'),
Tournament_rules CLOB NOT NULL,
Tournament_fee VARCHAR(1000) NOT NULL,
Tournment_eligibility VARCHAR (1000) NOT NULL );
COMMIT;
Your constraint is using the date keyword, but you don't need it. Just do:
CONSTRAINT RANGE CHECK (Tournament_year BETWEEN 2005 AND 2100),
Your column is an integer, not a date.

I have the following SQL code to create a table.
-- Table: Yelp_User
-- ADDED TO JAVA FILE
CREATE TABLE Yelp_User (
Yelp_Id char(22) NOT NULL,
Yelping_since date NOT NULL,
Name varchar2(50) NOT NULL,
Average_Stars number(51,50) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT Yelp_User_pk PRIMARY KEY (Yelp_Id)
) ;
However, I get the following error, which I suspect is coming from the average_stars attribute.
ORA-01727: numeric precision specifier is out of range (1 to 38)
Examples of average_stars values are as follows (from a JSON file I will be parsing):
3.8300000000000001
3.9700000000000002
4.4000000000000004
3.7799999999999998
CREATE TABLE Pizza

CREATE TABLE Topping

topping_id DECIMAL(12) NOT NULL,
topping_name VARCHAR(64) NOT NULL,
pizza_id DECIMAL(12)
);
ALTER TABLE Topping
ADD CONSTRAINT topping_pk PRIMARY KEY(topping_id);
ALTER TABLE Topping
ADD CONSTRAINT Topping_pizza_fk
FOREIGN KEY(pizza_id) REFERENCES Pizza(pizza_id);
INSERT INTO pizza (pizza_id, name, date_available, price)
VALUES (1, 'Plain', CAST('27-Feb-2021' AS DATE), 6);
Error:
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
I cannot figure out which part is wrong, I'm just a beginner for SQL, it seems related with date, can someone help me?
This works for me: SQL Fiddle. Don't use CAST to convert strings to dates. That's the only thing that looks off about your example. It may be using a different default date format than your string. Instead use TO_DATE( '27-Feb-2021', 'DD-Mon-YYYY') which converts a string to a date, or DATE '2021-02-27', which is a date literal and only takes the yyyy-mm-dd format.
Additionally, I'd suggest using NUMBER instead of DECIMAL just because it's more standard in the Oracle world. And always use VARCHAR2 instead of VARCHAR, which is officially discouraged.
I'm having a problem with a table I created. I am trying to run a query however a red line appears under my code ('excursionID', and 'excursions'), claiming 'Invalid Column name 'excursionID' and 'Invalid object name 'dbo.excursions' even though I have created the table already!
Here is the query
SELECT
excursionID
FROM [dbo].[excursions]
Here is the query I used to create the table
USE [zachtravelagency]
CREATE TABLE excursions (
[excursionID] INTEGER NOT NULL IDENTITY (1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
[companyName] NVARCHAR (30) NOT NULL,
[location] NVARCHAR (30) NOT NULL,
[description] NVARCHAR (30) NOT NULL,
[date] DATE NOT NULL,
[totalCost] DECIMAL NOT NULL,
I've tried dropping the table and inserting table again.
For some reason all my other tables work, it's just this table that doesn't identify itself. I'm very new to SQL so thank you for your patience!
You use DB [zachtravelagency] for create table.And You dont use this DB in your query. Default used db master in SSMS. Try
SELECT
excursionID
FROM [zachtravelagency].[excursions]

Closed 8 years ago.
I got a table which I used the below code to create.
create table Meter (MeterID CHAR(8) CONSTRAINT MeterPK PRIMARY KEY,
Value CHAR(8) CONSTRAINT ValueNN NOT NULL,
InstalledDate Date CONSTRAINT InDateNN NOT NULL);
Then I tried adding a derived column that adds 6 months to the installeddate.
alter table meter add ExpiryDate as (add_months(installedDate,6)) not null;
This returns an error of invalid datatype.
I read somewhere that I do not have to specify the datatype of ExpiryDate as it can be derived from the function. So where did I go wrong?
EDIT: Turns out Mike was right. I used the trigger method to get things going, but I was confused whether I'm using mysql or oracle. Think in the end I'm using oracle actually. Have problems with the trigger but turns out I do not need to have the command "set" in the trigger. Below is the code that works.
CREATE OR REPLACE
TRIGGER trigexpdate1
BEFORE INSERT ON Meter
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
:NEW.ExpiryDate := ADD_MONTHS(:NEW.InstalledDate, 6);
END;
If I don't have the begin and end in the statement, it will throw an error saying illegal trigger specification.
MySQL doesn't support
derived columns in table definitions,
a function named add_months(), or
inline constraints.
This is a more or less standard way to write that statement in MySQL.
create table `Meter` (
`MeterID` CHAR(8) NOT NULL,
`Value` CHAR(8) NOT NULL,
`InstalledDate` Date NOT NULL,
primary key (`MeterID`)
);
You have two options for a derived column like "ExpiryDate".
Create a view, and do the date arithmetic in the view. Use date_add().
Add the column "ExpiryDate" to the table, and keep it up-to-date with a trigger.
BEFORE INSERT trigger example
create table `Meter` (
`MeterID` CHAR(8) NOT NULL,
`Value` CHAR(8) NOT NULL,
`InstalledDate` Date NOT NULL,
`ExpiryDate` Date not null,
primary key (`MeterID`)
);
create trigger trigexpdate1
before insert on `Meter`
FOR EACH ROW
SET NEW.`ExpiryDate` = date_add(NEW.`InstalledDate`, interval 6 month);
Note how ExpiryDate changes from the insert statement to the select statement below.
insert into Meter
values ('1', '1', '2014-07-01', '2014-07-01');
select * from Meter;
MeterID Value InstalledDate ExpiryDate

1 1 2014-07-01 2015-01-01
CREATE TABLE the_user( Name VARCHAR(40) not null,

Password VARCHAR(25) not null,
DOB DATE not null,
PRIMARY KEY (Email),
FOREIGN KEY (Status) REFERENCES User_Status (Status_Id),
CONSTRAINT check_Password CHECK (Password > 4)
);
INSERT INTO the_user VALUES (

TO_DATE('2013/11/04 14:11:34', 'yyyy/mm/dd hh24:mi:ss')
);
I have the above database in Oracle but when I try to run the insert command I get an ORA-1722 error, Invalid Number. There is a entry in the user_status table which corresponds to the 1 in the insert.
I have been stuck on this for days.
Quotes are not a problem - it will be converted implicitly to numbers as far as they are valid.
Check your constraints:
CONSTRAINT check_Password CHECK (Password > 4)
Here you try to compare string and number -> in this comparison Oracle always tries to cast both as numbers -> password fails and you see an error.
Try to use instead of password e.g. '55' and you will see the row is inserted.
Perhaps you wanted to do this?
CONSTRAINT check_Password CHECK (length(Password) > 4)
