• ORA-00907 - "lack the right parenthesis.

  Hello

  I am trying to create a procedure to add table scores each month. This is my code:

  create or replace procedure add_partitions

  as

  v_partition all_tab_partitions.partition_name%type;

  v_limit varchar2 (50);

  LONG v_sql;

  Start

  Select to_char (trunc (add_months(sysdate,1), 'MM'), 'Mon_YYYY')

  in v_partition

  Double; -napr. 072014

  Select to_char (trunc (add_months(sysdate,2), 'MM'), 'DD-MM-YYYY')

  in v_limit

  Double; -napr. 08/01/2014

  v_sql: = ' ALTER TABLE CENTRUMADMIN. AUD$ _BACKUP ADD PARTITION '. v_partition | «VALUES LESS THAN (' |)» v_limit | ') tablespace BACKUP_AUDIT';

  immediately run v_sql;

  end;

  /

  The procedure is compiled without errors, but when I run it I get this error:

  ORA-00907 - "lack the right parenthesis.

  After some tests, I am sure that this problem is here: VALUES LESS THAN (' | v_limit |) (')... but I'cant understand whats wrong

  Any ideas? Thanks in advance

  Hi Mika,

  Try

  VALUES LESS THAN ("' | v_limit |) (') - three times - 2 gives you a ' in your statement - the 3rd chain delimited

• One more time: lack of right parenthesis

  Hi guys,.

  I searched the forum for another thread that might give me the answer I'm looking for, but I found no one.

  I'm new to APEX and I have to build a crosstab. To do this, I founded my development on really force crosstab / Pivot report example.

  My package is completely identical it is on that page and I have adapted to the query of the report (= classic, non-interactive) based on PL/SQL, so it fits my needs, the result is:

  DECLARE

  l_return_value VARCHAR2 (32767).

  BEGIN

  l_return_value: = PK_PIVOT. PivotSQL ("SELECT * FROM"Ploegrapport - view "', 'SOD_OMSCHR_LANG, OOD_OMSCHR_LANG, ACT_OMSCHR_LANG, TAAK_OMSCHR_LANG, ORG_NIV4, ORG_NIV5', 'NK_WERKNEMER', 'MIN', 'J_N', nvl (:P2_PAGENUMBER,1));)

  RETURN l_return_value;

  END;

  When I try to run it, I get the error ORA-00907: lack the closing parenthesis.

  When I click on "debug", it changes to:

  debug logging error ORA-06502: PL/SQL: digital or value error: character string of the buffer too small ORA-00907: lack the right parenthesis

  Failed to parse the SQL query:

  ORA-00907: lack of right parenthesis

  When I then click on "debug mode" I get the following:

  ... Run the statement: declare function x return varchar2 is begin DECLARE l_return_value VARCHAR2 (32767). BEGIN l_return_value: = PK_PIVOT. PivotSQL ("SELECT * FROM"Ploegrapport - view "', 'SOD_OMSCHR_LANG, OOD_OMSCHR_LANG, ACT_OMSCHR_LANG, TAAK_OMSCHR_LANG, ORG_NIV4, ORG_NIV5', 'NK_WERKNEMER', 'MIN', 'J_N', nvl (:P2_PAGENUMBER,1));) RETURN l_return_value; END; Returns a null value. end; begin wwv_flow.g_computation_result_vc: = x; end;

  ...... Result = SELECT SOD_OMSCHR_LANG, OOD_OMSCHR_LANG, ACT_OMSCHR_LANG, TAAK_OMSCHR_LANG, ORG_NIV4, ORG_NIV5, MIN (DECODE (NK_WERKNEMER 'XXXXX' J_N, null)) as "XXXXX", MIN (DECODE (NK_WERKNEMER 'XXXXX' J_N, null)) as "XXXXX", MIN (DECODE (NK_WERKNEMER 'XXXXX' J_N, null)) as "XXXXX", MIN (DECODE(NK_WERKNEMER,XXXXX',J_N,null)) as "XXXXX", MIN (DECODE (NK_WERKNEMER Null 'XXXXX' ((, J_N,)) as "XXXXX" MIN (DECODE (NK_WERKNEMER 'XXXXX' J_N, null)) as "XXXXX", MIN (DECODE (NK_WERKNEMER 'XXXXX' J_N, null)) as "XXXXX", MIN (DECODE (NK_WERKNEMER 'XXXXX' J_N, null)) 'XXXXX', MIN (DECODE (NK_WERKNEMER 'XXXXX' J_N, null)) as "XXXXX", MIN (DECODE (NK_WERKNEMER 'XXXXX' J_N, null)) as "XXXXX", MIN (DECODE (NK_WERKNEMER, J_N ' XXXXX', null)) as 'XXXXX '. MIN (DECODE(NK_WERKNE~), MIN (DECODE (NK_WERKNEMER 'XXXXX' J_N, null)) as 'XXXXX'

  (Don't worry the XXXXX, I put it there manually because this is sensitive information, the field is actually correct and represents the names of people.) The query works when I cut the last piece, which is broken, and when I add a group, so the query he built seems to be OK

  As you can see the query in debug is actually broken after 999 characters, this is simply due to the fact that debugging will show no more than 999 characters, or is this really my problem, that the query is broken before the full statement is complete.

  If this is the first option: then where would my problem? If it's the latter: I checked the report query code and the package code and I can't find a reason why this request would be accepted to exist out of 999 characters.

  I am currently working with the test environment Oracle supplied us, because we test if we can use APEX in our company.

  The version is Application Express 4.2.2.00.11 and it is running on Oracle 11 g.

  If you need more information, just ask and I'll post it as soon as possible.

  During the validation of the responses, please keep in mind that I am a beginner at this and have trouble understanding complex responses .

  Thanks for your help!

  Hello

  I discovered what the problem was.

  In my data, there is an employee with a '-character in his name and that's what makes the query returns an error. I tried again, this time without taking account of all the names with a '-character and that the query ran successfully, now a column made dynamically for each employee, just as I wanted.

  Thank you Tom for your efforts!

• Using DBMS_METADATA. GET_DDL get error: ORA-00907: lack the right parenthesis

  Hello
  
  I try to extract the schema DDL to a base (10.2.0.4.0 - 64-bit Enterprise Edition on Solaris 10). I ran the query below and get an ORA-00907: parenthesis right absent error.
  
  SELECT DBMS_METADATA. GET_DDL (REPLACE(object_type,' ','_') AS object_type, object_name) FROM user_objects WHERE object_type NOT IN ('TABLE_PARTITION', "INDEX_PARTITION", "LOB");

  *
  ERROR on line 1:

  remove the where the clause gives the following:
  
  Select DBMS_METADATA. GET_DDL (REPLACE (object_type, ", '_') as object_type, object_name) FROM user_objects
  *
  ERROR on line 1:

  Pointers would be welcome. I know I could get the DDL using exp/imp, but I'd like to understand why I get the error of missing parenthesis.
  
  see you soon,
  
  Ewan

  SELECT DBMS_METADATA. GET_DDL (REPLACE(object_type,' ','_') AS object_type, object_name) FROM user_objects WHERE object_type NOT IN

  You don't need an alias here. Getting rid of the "as long as object_type' and it should work.

• Formula node error: lack the right parenthesis

  Community salvation OR,.

  I work with the structure of nodes formula for the first time and I came across this error that I can't fix.

  

  He says he finds a character #, but the strange thing is that there is no character. Is there someone who can help me with this one please?

  Kind regards

  On your first long form you are missing a closing parenthesis.  It is in the last half of the formula.  You have two left parenthesis, but only a right.

• ORA-00907: lack of right parenthesis

  Hi all

  on 11.2.0.4 on Win 2008

  When executing:

  Select creele, TRUNC ((creele, 'DD')) of loans;

  I get:

  ORA-00907: missing a closing parenthesis (on column 28).

  Any idea?

  Let's see creele format:

  Select creele loans;

  CREELE

  --------

  10/11/14

  21/10/14

  Thank you.

  Can you tell me please why column A and B have different results:

  Select trunc (AVG (trunc(rendule,'DD')-trunc(creele+1,'DD')), 2) A.

  TRUNC (AVG (trunc(rendule,'DD')-trunc(creele,'DD') + 1), (2) B

  details, loans

  WHERE details.emprunt = emprunts.numero

  and borrowing. NUMBER = dΘtails. LOAN

  AND details.rendule is not null

  GROUP Member;

  Because you say to do different things. Suppose that there is just a line in your table, with a rendule of 30/04/2015 and a creele from 20/04/2015.

  A = 30/04/2015 - (20/04/2015 + 1) = 30/04/2015 - 21/04/2015 = 9

  B = 30/04/2015-4/20/2015 + 1 = 10 + 1 = 11

  If you want to arithmetic operations to be performed in a particular order, it is best to use parentheses to make the order without ambiguity. This would return the same value as the A (if that's what you want):

  TRUNC (AVG (trunc(rendule,'DD') - (TRUNC(creele,'DD') + 1)), 2).

  Hello

  
  

  I don't know where I am doing wrong, please help me
  

  
  

  update of tmp_data_mins p

  SET p.DISPLAY_VOLUME = ((select display_volume from tmp_data_mins

  where RULE_APPLIED =' rule 2: three consecutive time intervals are

  missing with the period ') q

  where (to_char (p.DAYASDATE,'DD/MM/YYYY HH24')) =

  (to_char (q.DAYASDATE,'DD/MM/YYYY HH24'))

  AND p.HOURASNUMBER = q.HOURSNUMBER);

  
  

  Thanks in advance
  

  Your syntax is disabled, you try to make a mixture of subquery and join that is not valid.  It should be something more like:

  update of tmp_data_mins p

  SET p.DISPLAY_VOLUME = (select display_volume

  of tmp_data_mins q

  where q.RULE_APPLIED =' rule 2: three consecutive time intervals are missing the period ' and

  trunc (p.DAYASDATE, 'hh24') = trunc (q.DAYASDATE, 'hh24')

  AND p.HOURASNUMBER = q.HOURSNUMBER)

  where exists (select display_volume

  of tmp_data_mins q

  where q.RULE_APPLIED =' rule 2: three consecutive time intervals are missing the period ' and

  trunc (p.DAYASDATE, 'hh24') = trunc (q.DAYASDATE, 'hh24')

  AND p.HOURASNUMBER = q.HOURSNUMBER);

  I'm not ethat you really need the trunc applied to dates, but it is equivalent to your expression to_char, and it is generally much safer to compare dates in dates rather than convert a date to a string and compare those.

  Also note that, as wrote your query and mine updates all rows in the parameter tmp_data_mins display_volume table to null for rows that do not match the subquery.  You would (probably) need to add another predicate in the outer query the identifu only the lines that you want to update, and there are predicate using the same query in the clause set would be a likely candidate.

  That said, I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish with this update because you're updating at the same table you are querying of.  As said by Frank, a few examples of data and an explanation of what you're trying to accomplish would be useful.

  John

  After seeing just this thread https://community.oracle.com/thread/3560425 I think I understand what you're trying to do and changed the query above (I think) do the update that you want, and it seems that you have the trunc applied to dates.

• Missing right parenthesis when you use the CONTAINS function

  Hello
  
  The following sql causes the error "missing right parenthesis. Its a search engine simple execution of PHP that dynamically adds each keyword to a connection variable. This works fine if I use only 1 keyword, but as soon as others are added, I get the error.
  
  Here's the SQL echo:
  

  SELECT SCORE(1), TITLE FROM MYTABLE WHERE CONTAINS(TITLE, :1 AND :2, 1) > 0 ORDER BY SCORE(1), TITLE ASC

  My 1st thought was contains it seeks single quote so I tried the following combinations:
  

   CONTAINS(TITLE, ':1' AND ':2', 1) > 0
   CONTAINS(TITLE, ':1 AND :2', 1) > 0

  Both through the crossover so maybe its nothing to do with citations. I also tried to use single quotes when concatinating the sql in PHP. No joy :(

  CONTAINS the second parameter is a string, so you should concatenate your variables of two link with the chain AND:

  CONTAINS (TITLE,: 1 |) ' AND ' | (: 2, 1) > 0

  begin
  journal:='21';
  dossier:='1707029205';
  execute immediate 'select sum(a.debi)-sum(a.cred)
  into solde
  from auxiloc a,
    dossier d,
    client c
  where d.clie =c.code
  and a.doss in (select o.code from dossier o where o.clie=c.code )
  and a.cmpt   =4111
  and a.xdate <=
    (select dar2 from qt:1 where doss=d.code
    )
  and d.jqt =:2
  and d.code=:3' using journal,journal,dossier;
  end;

  I get a "missing right parenthesis" on line 8, which is the line with immediate execution.
  Obviously, there is no missing brackets, I am must be missing something, but what?
  
  The query such as:

  select sum(a.debi)-sum(a.cred)
  --into solde
  from auxiloc a,
    dossier d,
    client c
  where d.clie =c.code
  and a.doss in (select o.code from dossier o where o.clie=c.code )
  and a.cmpt   =4111
  and a.xdate <=
    (select dar2 from qt21 where doss=d.code
    )
  and d.jqt =21
  and d.code=1707029205;

  works without a hitch...
  
  clues?

  Don't look for the error of "in" first time.
  You must move the "in" out of the sql string.

  execute immediate 'select ...' into solde using ....
