• strange behaviuor (bug?) with view (ora-918 column ambiguously defined)

  Hello everyone,
  the following code works as expected;
  
  Select substr(fire_id,-4,2) ct, zone_id, (fire_id), sum (a_total) count of
  (select *)
  fire join fire_zone using (fire_id) right
  where definition_id = 1
  and checked = 1
  and substr (fire_id, 2, -4) in (21.23)
  and fire_id between 190400000000 and 200900000000)
  Group zone_id substr (fire_id, 2, -4),
  order of ct, zone_id
  
  
  but when to define a vision for the subquery:
  
  create or replace view tempfire as
  Select *.
  fire join fire_zone using (fire_id) right
  where definition_id = 1
  and checked = 1
  and substr (fire_id, 2, -4) in (21.23)

  You try to use it in a report? If so, APEX will wrap your query inside another to support various features (paging, interactive reports, etc.), this query see 2 CHAMBEROFCOMMERCE columns in the SELECT list. These columns must be particularly well named, so add appropriate aliases for columns:

  select 
  
  a.CSNCONTACTPERSON,
  a.FIRSTNAMECONTACTPERSON,
  a.LASTNAMECONTACTPERSON,
  a.CHAMBEROFCOMMERCE chamber_a,
  a.MOBPHONECONTACTPERSON,

• Problem of ORA-00918 join of tables for the update

  Hello
  
  I have 2 tables: PAR_SPEC_OPS and T_PAR and I'm trying to update the 2 columns with values from the second table in the first.
  
  Here is my script:
  
  Update
  (
  Select membership_id, membership_status
  Of Par_Spec_Ops P, T_Par T
  Where P.Tracking_ID = T.Tracking_ID
  )
  Set P.membership_id = T.membership_id,
  P.membership_status = T.membership_status;
  
  Running this gives me ORA-00918: column ambiguously defined. I watched this and it is said that happens when there is a common column in tables 2 and I'm not using prefixes, but as you can see on my order, I'am using prefixes. I tried with and without alias, but I get the same error.
  
  You guys have any ideas?

• ORA-00984: column not allowed here, when you try to use a default UDF

  I am wanting to create a table that has a default value of a user-defined function, and because this default is intended to be used in a few different places so I would use a function rather than in the table definition.
  
  This is my current code that works very well:

  CREATE TABLE DEPT_HIST
  (
    DEPTNO      NUMBER(2) not null,
    DNAME       VARCHAR2(14),
    LOC         VARCHAR2(13),
    SQL_ACTV_C  CHAR(1) not null,
    EFFT_STRT_S TIMESTAMP(6) default SYSTIMESTAMP not null,
    EFFT_END_S  TIMESTAMP(6) default TO_TIMESTAMP('9999/12/30 00:00:00.000000', 'YYYY/MM/DD:HH24:MI:SS.FF6') not null,
    DELT_F      CHAR(1) default 'N' not null
  );

  but I would get something similar to this work:

  CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION EOT
     RETURN timestamp
  IS
     Result   timestamp;
  BEGIN
     RETURN (TO_TIMESTAMP ('9999/12/30 00:00:00.000000',
                           'YYYY/MM/DD:HH24:MI:SS.FF6'));
  END EOT;
  /
  
  select eot from dual;

    EFFT_END_S  TIMESTAMP(6) default EOT not null,

  Any ideas? I guess I could use a trigger but not exactly what I'm after.

  Hello

  Sorry; No function defined by the user in the DEFAULT clause.
  From SQL, under "CREATE TABLE Statement" language manual
  http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_7002.htm#sthref7119

  Restriction on default column values

  
  A DEFAULT expression cannot contain references to the functions PL/SQL or other columns, the nickname CURRVAL, NEXTVAL, LEVEL, PRIOR and ROWNUM, or date constants that are not completely specified.

  I wouldn't use a trip just for that. If you need a trigger for other reasons, then maybe you can include the definition of this column in the trigger, too, but, in general, avoid triggers when there is an alternative.

  Published by: LostNoob on August 25, 2012 14:24

  First of all, when you write an INSERT statement, it is always good for the columns that you insert in the list. Which makes the code easier to follow - you do not have separately pull toward the top of the table definition to know what order of columns is inserted. And it makes the code easier to manage because the declaration become invalid if you add a new column to the table in the future.

  Second, CHANGE_DATE, CHANGE_USER and ACTION are not (probably) functions and are not local variables so it is not supposed to use them in an INSERT statement. You need to write code or to take advantage of the existing functions to fill in these columns. I suppose, for example, that you want to use SYSDATE to fill the CHANGE_DATE and the USER to fill the column CHANGE_USER. My guess is that ACTION must always be a 'U' for UPDATE.

  Thirdly, it seems that you left the: old man on the DEPTNO column.

  Put them all together, you would have something like

  CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER trig_emp_audit
    BEFORE UPDATE ON emp
    FOR EACH ROW
  BEGIN
    INSERT INTO emp_audit(
        audit_uid,
        change_date,
        change_user,
        action,
        enpno,
        ename,
        job,
        mgr,
        hiredate,
        sal,
        comm,
        deptno )
      VALUES(
        emp_audit_seq.nextval,
        sysdate,
        user,
        'U',
       :old.empno,
       :old.ename,
       :old.job,
       :old.mgr,
       :old.hiredate,
       :old.sal,

  They are necessary, since they are declared SQL * more variable.

  The problem for the OP, is that in the clause values in the insert the colon are missing.

• Create Materialized View ORA-01723: columns of length zero are not allowed

  I am trying to create a materialized view that derives from a column of a function and I get: ORA-01723: columns null are not allowed.

  CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW ACES

  FROM table_name;
  
  My function has an exception to return a value, even if no value are.
  
  I looked everywhere for the solution. Someone at - there a way around this problem? I really need my function to calculate the column because it has business rules that I can't join in my definition of the materialized view. My only hope around this is to insert values into a table and then create a materialized table view, I don't want to do that if someone has a solution around this.

• ORA-01723: columns of length zero are not allowed

  Hello
  
  I try to combine the 2 tables (one of the tables as a single column and the other has 2 columns)... Here's the query that I'm running
  
  create the table temp_combine
  as
  SELECT the CITY, NULL AS TABLE_A Prov.
  Union of all the
  SELECT CITY, Prov. OF TABLE_B
  
  Here is the error message I got:
  
  ORA-01723: columns of length zero are not allowed
  
  Please advice, how to solve this problem

  How do I solve this problem

  Or reverse the order of the union of all the

  SELECT CITY, Prov FROM TABLE_B
  union all
  SELECT CITY, NULL AS Prov FROM TABLE_A
  

  or a cast of NULL for the Prov. data type (for example assuming that it is varchar2 (10)):

  SELECT CITY, CAST(NULL AS VARCHAR2(10)) AS Prov FROM TABLE_A
  union all
  SELECT CITY, Prov FROM TABLE_B
