SQL "column ambiguously defined"- when run from hibernate - sql

When I run a SQL query from sqldeveloper , it runs fine When I run the same query from Hibernate SQL session, it gives me: "ORA-00918: column ambiguously defined" error.
Dies hibernate generate any kind of sql logs that can be used to debug the error?
Edit: here is the sql:(works fine from sqldeveloper)
SELECT main_contact.cont_name,
sub_contact.cont_name,
main_contact.cont_role_desc,
main_contact.cont_start_dte,
main_contact.cont_end_dte,
main_contact.cont_id,
sub_contact.cont_id,
main_contact.lookup_desc,
main_contact.cont_role_desc
FROM
(SELECT cont_rlat.cont_rlat_id ,
cont_role.cont_role_desc ,
cont.cont_name ,
cont.cont_ty_cde ,
cont.cont_sid ,
cont.cont_id ,
cont_rlat.rlat_from_dte ,
cont.cont_start_dte ,
cont.cont_end_dte ,
cont_rlat.app_id ,
lookup_data_mgmt.lookup_desc
FROM cont_rlat join
cont on cont_rlat.cont_sid = cont.cont_sid
join cont_role on cont_rlat.cont_role_id=cont_role.cont_role_id
join app on cont_rlat.app_id = app.app_ID
join LOOKUP_DATA_MGMT on app.app_TY_CDE = LOOKUP_DATA_MGMT.LOOKUP_ID
where
app.app_id =:investmentProfileCId
) main_contact left join
(SELECT cont.cont_id,
cont.cont_name,
cont_sub_rlat.cont_rlat_id
FROM cont_sub_rlat join
cont on
cont_sub_rlat.individual_cont_id = cont.cont_sid
) sub_contact on
main_contact.cont_rlat_id = sub_contact.cont_rlat_id

You're selecting main_contact.cont_role_desc twice. Also, you have two columns called 'cont_name' and two columns called 'cont_id', which also might not make it happy. If dropping the extra cont_name doesn't work, maybe try aliasing those?
SELECT main_contact.cont_name,
sub_contact.cont_name AS sub_cont_name,
main_contact.cont_role_desc,
main_contact.cont_start_dte,
main_contact.cont_end_dte,
main_contact.cont_id,
sub_contact.cont_id AS sub_cont_id,
main_contact.lookup_desc
Neither of those will be a problem in SQLDeveloper, but I imagine that at the very least having two exact copies of main_contact.cont_role_desc in the result set will be confusing Hibernate -- how will it tell them apart?

in hibernate.cfg.xml to make it log sql statements
<property name="hibernate.show_sql">true</property>

Ambigously defined column in a subquery

I've the following subquery in an sql query:
(
SELECT ID_PLAN, ID_CURSO, NEDICION, NOMBRE AS NOMBREUNIDAD FROM ASISTEN, ALUMNOS, UNIDADES
WHERE ASISTEN.COD = ALUMNOS.COD AND UNIDADES.IDESTRUCTURA = ALUMNOS.IDESTRUCTURA
AND UNIDADES.CDUNDORG = ALUMNOS.CDUNDORG
AND UPPER(TRANSLATE(UNIDADES.NOMBRE, 'áéíóúÁÉÍÓÚ', 'aeiouAEIOU')) LIKE '%CONSEJERIA%'
GROUP BY ID_PLAN, ID_CURSO, NEDICION) ASIS
Problem I have I believe lies in that both table ALUMNOS and UNIDADES have a column named 'NOMBRE' so if I attempt to execute the query I obtain:
00000 - "column ambiguously defined"
To avoid that I thought about changing NOMBRE AS NOMBREUNIDAD to:
UNIDADES.NOMBRE AS NOMBREUNIDAD
But if I do that I get a:
00000 - "not a GROUP BY expression"
So, I don't know what to do so that subquery executes properly.
What should I change to properly execute query without changing the column name?
Aliases are pretty useful, if you use them. The simplify queries and make them easier to read and maintain. I'd suggest you to do so, as it'll also help query to work because Oracle doesn't know which table you actually meant when you selected those 4 columns - which tables do they belong to?
This is just a guess as I don't know your tables so you'll have to fix it yourself. Also, I literally JOINed tables; try to avoid comma-separating them in FROM clause and doing join in WHERE clause as it is supposed to filter data.
GROUP BY, as already commented, is probably useless. If you wanted to fetch distinct set of values, then use appropriate keyword: distinct.
SELECT DISTINCT n.id_plan,
s.id_curso,
u.nedicion,
u.nombre
FROM asisten n
JOIN alumnos s ON n.cod = s.cod
JOIN unidades u
ON u.idestructura = s.idestructura
AND u.cdundorg = s.cdundorg
WHERE UPPER (TRANSLATE (u.nombre, 'áéíóúÁÉÍÓÚ', 'aeiouAEIOU')) LIKE '%CONSEJERIA%'
I managed to solve my problem:
(
SELECT ID_PLAN, ID_CURSO, NEDICION, UNIDADES.NOMBRE AS NOMBREUNIDAD
FROM ASISTEN, ALUMNOS, UNIDADES
WHERE ASISTEN.COD = ALUMNOS.COD AND UNIDADES.IDESTRUCTURA = ALUMNOS.IDESTRUCTURA
AND UNIDADES.CDUNDORG = ALUMNOS.CDUNDORG
AND UPPER(TRANSLATE(UNIDADES.NOMBRE, 'áéíóúÁÉÍÓÚ', 'aeiouAEIOU')) LIKE '%CONSEJERIA%'
GROUP BY UNIDADES.NOMBRE,ID_PLAN, ID_CURSO, NEDICION
)

"Circular reference caused by ..." error in Access SQL (but not in T-SQL)

I have the following SQL statement which returns the desired result in SQL Server 2012:
SELECT
S.ONOMA
, S.DIEY
, S.POLH
, S.TK
, S.IDIOT
, S.KODIKOS
, S.AFM
FROM
SYNERG AS S
INNER JOIN
(SELECT
G.AFM, MIN(KODIKOS) AS KODIKOS
FROM SYNERG AS G
WHERE LEN(ISNULL(AFM, '')) != 0
GROUP BY AFM) AS I ON S.KODIKOS = I.KODIKOS
ORDER BY
S.AFM
but when I run the same SQL statement in MS Access 2007 I get an error:
Circular reference caused by 'KODIKOS' in query definition's SELECT list.
Any help would be appreciated.
As explained in the link by HansUp:
The alias of a calculated field cannot be identical to any of the field names used to calculate the field.
This can be rather annoying (esp. if it is a field that is returned by the query), but there is no way around it.
So you need to change the alias, e.g.:
SELECT
S.ONOMA
, S.DIEY
, S.POLH
, S.TK
, S.IDIOT
, S.KODIKOS
, S.AFM
FROM
SYNERG AS S
INNER JOIN
(SELECT
G.AFM, MIN(KODIKOS) AS MinKODIKOS
FROM SYNERG AS G
WHERE LEN(Nz(AFM, '')) <> 0
GROUP BY AFM) AS I ON S.KODIKOS = I.MinKODIKOS
ORDER BY
S.AFM
Note also that an IsNull() function exists in Access, but has a different meaning (it takes one argument and returns a Boolean). The corresponding function is Nz()
And (thanks #HansUp), the unequal operator is <>, not !=. I always use <> in SQL Server too, no need to make things more complicated than necessary. :)

PostgreSQL view won't work - column doesnt exist

Hi I am trying to migrate an access database into postgresql and everything was going well until i tried this view. I am wanting it to create a new column called 'CalculatedHours'. And as Im new to postgresql I am slightly confused. Heres the code that I keep putting into pgAdmin and getting the error...
SELECT "SessionsWithEnrolmentAndGroups"."SessionID",
"Assignments"."Staff",
"SessionsWithEnrolmentAndGroups"."groups",
"SessionsWithEnrolmentAndGroups"."SessionQty",
"SessionsWithEnrolmentAndGroups"."Hours",
"SessionsWithEnrolmentAndGroups"."Weeks",
"Assignments"."Percentage",
"Assignments"."AdditionalHours",
Round((coalesce(("groups"),1)*("SessionQty")*("Hours")*("Weeks")
*("Percentage"))) AS CalculatedHours,
(CalculatedHours)+coalesce(("AdditionalHours"),0) AS "TotalHours"
FROM "SessionsWithEnrolmentAndGroups"
INNER JOIN "Assignments"
ON "SessionsWithEnrolmentAndGroups"."SessionID" = "Assignments"."SessionID";
You cannot access column aliases in the same select where they are defined. I would suggest a subquery:
SELECT t.*,
(CalculatedHours)+coalesce(("AdditionalHours"), 0) AS "TotalHours"
FROM (SELECT eag."SessionID", a, eag."groups", eag."SessionQty",
eag."Hours", eag."Weeks", a."Percentage", a."AdditionalHours",
Round((coalesce(("groups"),1)*("SessionQty")*("Hours")*("Weeks")*("Percentage"))) AS CalculatedHours
FROM "SessionsWithEnrolmentAndGroups" eag INNER JOIN
"Assignments" a
ON eag."SessionID" = a."SessionID"
) t;
Your queries would also be much more readable using table aliases and getting rid of the escape characters (double quotes) unless they are really, really needed.

SQL query works even with wrong syntax

I am running a SQL query in stored procedure which is like following
SELECT
t1.id,t2.Name
FROM
table1 t1 , table2 t2 ,table2 t3,table4 t4
WHERE
t1.id=t3.t4.id
this query gets executed on SQL server 2008 when its compatible with SQL server 2000 but if we turn OFF the compatibility with SQL server 2000 then this Query gives syntax error which is expected.
Can some one help me to understand why this is happeneing ? thanks in advance
Original query:
SELECT
ConfigID , LocationDesc + '-' + LOBTeamDesc LocLOBTeamSource
FROM Config CONFIG , Location_LOBTeam LOCLOB , Location LOC , LOBTeam LOB, System SRC
WHERE CONFIG.LocationLOBTeamID = LOC.LOB.LocationLOBTeamID
AND CONFIG.SourceSystemID = SRC.SystemID
AND LOCLOB.LocationID = LOC.LocationID
AND LOCLOB.LOBTeamID = LOB.LOBTeamID
AND (GETDATE() BETWEEN CONFIG.effectiveDate AND CONFIG.EndDate
OR CONFIG.EndDate IS NULL)
ORDER BY
LOC.LocationCode
I think that original query, with current standard join syntax applied would be this:
SELECT
ConfigID
, LocationDesc + '-' + LOBTeamDesc LocLOBTeamSource
FROM Config CONFIG
INNER JOIN Location_LOBTeam LOCLOB
ON CONFIG.LocationLOBTeamID = LOCLOB.LocationLOBTeamID
INNER JOIN Location LOC
ON LOCLOB.LocationID = LOC.LocationID
INNER JOIN LOBTeam LOB
ON LOCLOB.LOBTeamID = LOB.LOBTeamID
INNER JOIN [System] SRC
ON CONFIG.SourceSystemID = SRC.SystemID
WHERE (GETDATE() BETWEEN CONFIG.effectiveDate AND CONFIG.EndDate
OR CONFIG.EndDate IS NULL)
ORDER BY
LOC.LocationCode
Perhaps this will help.
+EDIT
"System" as a table name, could that be a problem? Suggest you try it as [System]
+EDIT2
The original is given with this: LOC.LOB.LocationLOBTeamID but that appears to be an error as there is an alias LOCLOB
I think below post from msdn answers this issue Compatibility Levels and Stored Procedures
in the above post the point number 3 under section "Differences Between Compatibility Level 80 and Level 90" states "WHEN binding the column references in the ORDER BY list to the columns defined in the SELECT list, column ambiguities are ignored and column prefixes are sometimes ignored. This can cause the result set to return in an unexpected order."
on my database I am using compatibility level 80 i.e 2000 thats why it runs smoothly with the given syntax but when I remove this compatibility and make it to 100 i.e. 2008/R2 script gives syntax error which is expected

SQL Server Compact won't allow subselect but inner join with groupby not allowed on text datatype

I have the following sql syntax that I used in my database query (SQL Server)
SELECT Nieuwsbrief.ID
, Nieuwsbrief.Titel
, Nieuwsbrief.Brief
, Nieuwsbrief.NieuwsbriefTypeCode
, (SELECT COUNT(*) AS Expr1
FROM NieuwsbriefCommentaar
WHERE (Nieuwsbrief.ID = NieuwsbriefCommentaar.NieuwsbriefID
AND NieuwsbriefCommentaar.Goedgekeurd = 1)) AS AantalCommentaren
FROM Nieuwsbrief
I'm changing now to sql-server-ce (compact edition) which won't allow me to have subqueries like this. Proposed solution : inner join. But as I only need a count of the subtable 'NieuwsbriefCommentaar', I have to use a 'group by' clause on my base table attributes to avoid doubles in the result set.
However the 'Nieuwbrief.Brief' attribute is of datatype 'text'. Group by clauses are not allowed on 'text' datatype in sql-server-ce. 'Text' datatype is deprecated, but sql-server-ce doesn't support 'nvarchar(max)' yet...
Any idea how to solve this? Thx for your help.
I think that the solution could be easier. I don't know exactly how is your metadata but I think that this code could fit your requirements by simply using LEFT JOIN.
SELECT Nieuwsbrief.ID
, Nieuwsbrief.Titel
, Nieuwsbrief.Brief
, Nieuwsbrief.NieuwsbriefTypeCode
, COUNT(NieuwsbriefCommentaar.NieuwsbriefID) AS AantalCommentaren
FROM Nieuwsbrief
LEFT JOIN NieuwsbriefCommentaar ON (Nieuwsbrief.ID = NieuwsbriefCommentaar.NieuwsbriefID)
WHERE NieuwsbriefCommentaar.Goedgekeurd = 1
Edited: 2ndOption
SELECT N.ID, N.Titel, N.Brief, N.NieuwsbriefTypeCode, G.AantalCommentaren FROM Nieuwsbrief as N LEFT JOIN (SELECT NieuwsbriefID, COUNT(*) AS AantalCommentaren FROM NieuwsbriefCommentaar GROUP BY NieuwsbriefID) AS G ON (N.ID = G.NieuwsbriefID)
Please, let me know if this code works in order to find out another workaround..
