The error message really means what he says.
For more information on all of the built-in functions, such as the number and types of arguments, see the Manual of the SQL language.

to find the max (two date columns)

SELECT
max(print_date,inv_date)

FROM Temp;

MAX takes a single argument. (Most of the aggregate functions take one argument).
You probably want the GREATER function, no MAX.

  • Regular expression for invalid number

    Hello world

    I use version oracle as follows:

    SQL > select * from v version $;

    BANNER
    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - production
    PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
    CORE 10.2.0.4.0 Production
    AMT for 32-bit Windows: release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production
    NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    I use a regular expression to replace invalid values in a table.

    I got oracle error 'ORA-01722 invalid number '.

    My query looks like this:

    SELECT DISTINCT

    MRC_KEY,

    PURPOSE_CD,

    RESIDENCE_DESC,

    TO_NUMBER (regexp_replace (ICAP_GEN_MADAPTIVE, "..?")) 0? 0? (\d+) [-.] ((?', '\1')) as ICAP_GEN_MADAPTIVE,

    Of

    MRRC_INT

    I don't know what are invalid values in the table, so I can write regexp accordingly.

    Any guidance is appreciated!

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Whenever you have a problem, please post a small example of data (CREATE TABLE and only relevant columns, INSERT statements) for all of the tables involved and also publish outcomes from these data.
    Explain, using specific examples, how you get these results from these data.  View of the code which is not what you want can be useful, but there niot enough by itself.
    See the FAQ forum: https://forums.oracle.com/message/9362002

    Let's look at what you do:

    REGEXP_REPLACE (icap_gen_madaptive

    , '[+. ]' || -exactly 1 of these characters

    '?0?0?' || -up to 2 ' 0 '

    '(\d+)' || -some numbers (it comes to \1)

    '[-.]?'    -0 or 1 of these characters

    , '\1'

    )

    Is it really what you want?  A group of figures don't match, as the patten must start with a sign more, a point or a space.  You want to allow a decimal point at the beginning and at the end, as in "." 9. '?  If there are numbers before and after the decimal point, as in "1.2", you want only the digints before the comma?  You never said what you want, but I'm guessing that these are things that you don't want.

    If the pattern is found, this changes only the schema, so a string like "FU + 123 BAR" more than the model + 9 "" changed to "9" and the resulting string. "" "" FU9BAR"would be passed TO_NUMBER.

    If the pattern is not found, as in "FOO", nothing is changed, and the entire string is passed to TO_NUMBER.

    I suspect you want to use instead of REGEXP_REPLACE REGEXP_SUBSTR, or, if there is stuff to ignore before and/or after the number you want to include in the model, so that REGEXP_REPLACE will be replaced by nothing.

    This looks like a good argument to use the NUMBER of columns to store numbers.

  • More than 1 SQL query with checkbox and error invalid number report

    Hi all

    I have two SQL query reports that each has an apex_item.checkbox and two processes for each report.  A report/process works very well.  It gives me an error of invalid number.

    In addition, another query SQL (editable report) gives me the following error when using the Multi line process, delete.

    ORA-06502: PL/SQL: digital or value error: character number conversion
    error ORA-06502: PL/SQL: digital or value error: character number conversion

    Ok

    When I got a report from SQL query (with box and a process) and the query SQL (editable report) everything worked.  It stopped working when I added another SQL query report (with box and a process).

    A SQL query has the following in my query: apex_item.checkbox(3,email_id,'UNCHECKED') ""

    The other SQL query has the following: apex_item.checkbox(2,b.file_id,'UNCHECKED') ""

    Hello

    No sign of setting shaped or ' $' is seen in the data, which is the reason why I guess you used the conversions in the * ctl file.

    What is the problem with this symbol $ in the code?

    No problem with the ' $'-what I mean is that it is not necessary.

    Looking for him "$" field and exclude it from your text/number (SUBSTR) and if there is no "$" in your file, this additional training is not mandatory - why clutter up your code with unnecessary functions?

    Regarding the error you get, it is related to the format mask, you provide:

    Message #20:

    Select to_number (substr (146, instr(146,'$') + 1), '999,999,999.99') of double

    o/p: 146

    Select to_number (substr (1469, instr(1469,'$') + 1), '999,999,999.99') of double

    Error: ORA-01722: invalid number

    1. you must use "146" (text) and no 146 (number).

    2. ' 146' works because it "fits" the format mask you supplied: 999 999,999. 99. " but '1469' does not like the format mask expects one ',' as the delimiter of thousands, that is, "1 469'."

    Select to_number (substr (1, 469', instr('1,469','$') + 1), '999,999,999.99') twice;

    Similarly, in the #22 Post:

    to_number (substr (' 752,3308', instr ('752.3308', ' $') + 1), 999, 999 999,99') of double

    4 decimals are consistent with the format DP 2 mask.


    Simply remove all masks of format.

  • Error invalid number

    Dear Experts

    In fact, we have two packages one is master and another package which is subpart of the master package...

    Now the question is when I run only subpart, it works well. If run master and then to Subpart package and then the package is a failure...

    When I checked the error code is not a valid number. When I checked the code the error occurs during insertion...

    in my sql developer, I tried this insertion and I don't have any error invalid number.

    When I run simply Subpart together then I don't have this error number it runs successfully...

    When I run the master package calling this subpart, then I get an error invalid number.

    can you please how to debug or explore the problem...

    Sanjay

    I'll guess that you write an APEX application.

    In the APEX, the variables are always strings.  If you want to interpret as dates, you should pack them with a call TO_DATE and a format mask.  Assuming that you stated your control APEX of date in MM/DD/YYYY format, it would mean that the SQL, you would need is

    SELECT
      TO_NUMBER(TO_CHAR((TRUNC( TO_DATE(:P_DATE1, 'MM/DD/YYYY'),'MM')-1),'MM')) LAST_MON
    FROM DUAL
    

    Of course, if you're just trying to extract the month to date and subtract 1, I just have

    SELECT extract( month from to_date( :p_date1, 'MM/DD/YYYY') ) - 1
    FROM dual

    Try using:

    RECORDS DELIMITED BY newline

    Instead of:

    RECORDS DELIMITED BY '\n'


    on your table to create, in addition to just help to_number or to_number return with ' NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = ".," ' in your query, in the period before the comma as decimal separator comes before the grouping separator.

    What is probably happening is that your return to the line of the system data come from different East of your new line on the system that you load in.  You may need to experiment and

    Select dump (consignment_net_value) in the dump_ext;

    to determine what additional invisible characters, such as Chr (10) and Chr (13) can be added at the end of the number that you have to cut, so just using line feed does not work.  This is why it only happens with the numbers at the end of the line.

    DML Error Logging - I guess , is what you need exactly.

    Please refer - DML Error Logging

    -Http://www.orafaq.com/node/76
    >
    Logging of DML errors is a new feature for 10 gr 2. Have you tried updating the 30 million records, only to have the update fail after twenty minutes, because a single record in 30 million does not reach a check constraint? Or, what would you say a insert-as-select which fails to 999 1000 rank as a column value is too large? With DML error logging , adding a clause to your insert statement would lead the 999 correct to be inserted successfully records and the a wrong record to be written in a table for you to solve.
