SQL & PL/SQL :: Trigger - Non-numeric Character Was Found Where Numeric Was Expected
Oct 10, 2011
I have an sqlldr process running loading data into my database. I have created a trigger to run before inserts on each row to start gathering summary data from the basic underlying data. The trigger compiles ok and the procedures the trigger is calling compile ok, but when the sqlldr process runs I get errors in the log files.
Here is the sqlldr control file:
LOAD data
APPEND INTO TABLE cdr.day_tables
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
RecordCode
,CdrStart DATE 'YYYY DDD SSSSS'
[code].......,
Next is my trigger
create or replace TRIGGER BNUMBER_SUMMARY_INS
BEFORE INSERT ON DAY_TABLES
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
[code]......
Next are the procedures that are called by the trigger:
create or replace PROCEDURE BNUMBER_SUMMARY
( BNUMBER IN VARCHAR2
, CALLDATE IN DATE
, CALLDURATION IN NUMBER
) AS
record_found NUMBER;
BEGIN
[code].......
The error messages I am getting are:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table CDR.DAY_TABLES, column CDREND.
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
ORA-06512: at "CDR.BNUMBER_SUMMARY_INS", line 6
ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'CDR.BNUMBER_SUMMARY_INS'
I need to find out what field it is complaining about, especially since I am not even using the cdrend field from the input record?
I get the error message mentioned in the subject with this SELECT-statement
....where (t.cfonte=14 and t.data_ultima_modifica between sysdate -4000/(24*60*60) and sysdate ) or (t.data_ultima_modifica > to_date('%TIMESTAMP%','ddmmyyhh24miss'))]]>
If I substitute %TIMESTAMP% with 310507143709 then it works
when I want to create a table.When I run my procedure I received : PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
create or replace PROCEDURE p_create_tmp_tables (p_result OUT NUMBER ) IS string_sql varchar2(1000); result NUMBER; BEGIN string_sql := 'CREATE TABLE TMP_CATEGORIES (CODE_CATEGORY NUMBER(6,0), NAME_CATEGORY VARCHAR2(25 BYTE))'; execute immediate string_sql; [code]...
I got a string in the form 1+2+4.If we write select 1+2+4 from dual;then we get o/p as 7.but the same thing iam trying to do in a bit of pl/sql program by passing the string 1+2+4 value to a number variable as below.
COUNT_TASK := TO_NUMBER(TASK6_STATUS);
TASK6_STATUS value is 1+2+4 (this thing i got by replacing the string and lots of stuff) but i need the result after adding these 3 numbers in the string. and i declare COUNT_TASK as NUMBER;and i am very well aware that it gives me the error ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
how to add these numbers in my program to get the result 7.
begin -- Initialize owa with an empty array, just so we can use htp. owa.init_cgi_env( param_val=>owa.cgi_var_name ); -- Add a header to avoid dealing with header-related code in htp. htp.prn('Content-Type:text/plain'); htp.print('');

The error I am getting is
ERROR at line 1: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small ORA-06512: at "SYS.HTP", line 1550 ORA-06512: at line 32
what i feel is that oracle Database UTF8 or AL32UTF8 characterset does not support htp package properly. When i run the code on another characterset, it runs errorfree except in UTF8 or AL32UTF8.

Following are my declarations and query inside my procedure.i am getting "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too smal" error when i try to execute the procedure
I am learning pl/sql and this is procedure i had created which got created successfully.then i created two variables name v_name, v_loc with command.
variable v_name varchar2; etc. and executed procedure like execute dept_proc2(10, :v_name, :v_loc); and i am getting the error
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
1 create or replace procedure dept_proc2 2 (v_dno in number, v_name out varchar2, v_loc out varchar2) 3 is 4 cursor dept_cur is select dname, loc from dept 5 where deptno=v_dno; [code]...
Actually I have an existing table in LOG RAW instead of BLOB. Which stores some transaction XML data. The data is very huge. When i trying with the following, gives me following error
SQL> declare 2 a varchar(255); 3 B LONG RAW; 4 cursor c1 is select xml FROM LOG_tab WHERE ID='13148' ; 5 begin 6 open c1; 7 loop 8 fetch c1 into b ;

Since dbms_output.put_line has buffer limitation.Can we write the result of a select statement into client LOCAL disk files using PL/SQL.
I am getting an error as below ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small.
Here is complete code
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE MDI.ACCUM_STRING_TYPE2 AS OBJECT ( rvalue VARCHAR2 (32767 STATIC FUNCTION odciaggregateinitialize (sctx IN OUT accum_string_type2) RETURN NUMBER
Trying to learn and understand Triggers, PL/SQL code, etc. When I execute a simple insert using Toad for Oracle, all is fine. When I try the identical insert in SQL*Plus, it throws error ORA-06502 during execution of the trigger.
Here is the error info:
insert into AAAJOB(PROCEDURENAME,DESCRIPTION) VALUES('OOO','PPP') * ERROR at line 1: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small ORA-06512: at "PMSC0.AAAJOB_TIMING", line 10 ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'PMSC0.AAAJOB_TIMING' ===
I am having some difficulties with this trigger. It keeps giving me the error "ERROR at line 5: PL/SQL: ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected" when I am not even using a SELECT before the line it says the error is on? Here is the trigger that I am attempting to create.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER ClassRestraint BEFORE INSERT ON Enrolled FOR EACH ROW DECLARE numCourses NUMBER :=0; myException EXCEPTION; BEGIN [code]...
I have this script which should find tablespaces and their size, joined with free bytes. Trying to run this gives me the SQL Error: ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected.
I have two questions:
1. Where should the FROM be?
2. Is there something wrong with the join.
============================================== set linesize 120 col "TOTAL (KB)" format 99999999999999999 col "FREE (KB)" format 9999999999999999 col TSNAME format a35 col "% FREE" format a10;
SELECT a.tablespace_name TSNAME, sum(a.bytes/1024) "TOTAL (KB)", Sum(b.bytes/1024) "FREE (KB)" To_char(round((sum(a.bytes/1024)/sum(a.bytes/1024))*100),2), 'FM99990D999999') || ' % ' "% FREE" FROM dba_data_files a, dba_free_space b Where a.tablespace_name = b.tablespacename Group by a. tablespace_name [/i] =============================================
I used the script from [URL]
It worked great but I'm not sure how to use the arithmetic functions to show me MB instead of bytes.
I am trying to compile this block for updating a record. In the P_ADD_LOV_SQL column, I have to update the following select statment, but when ever I am compiling it it shows error in the Select statement as : ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected. rearrange the select statement so that it doesn't show the error.The coding is :
I have set NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS to ',.' but somehow during my java application life-cycle it got changed to '.,'! Is there any way to find what causes this? I can't find what or who change it. I have ordinary Java app which connects to Oracle 11.2.0.1.0 DB and as far as I know NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS is not set explicitly or any other NLS_XXX setting. Is there any way to look in some logs for this?
I have a requirement in which I have to append LOBs and I have to insert the LOB into a table column. I am facing problem when the data exceeds certain limit. (please note that my program logic is given below, not the exact program)
when the looping is done for lesser value say for e.g FOR i IN 1..10 loop, the program works fine, but when the looping is done for more values I am getting "-6502-ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error" error message.
create or replace package pckname is Procedure VALIDATE_USER(p out credentials.pc%TYPE, u in credentials.uc%TYPE, c in credentials.sc%TYPE); end pckname;
I currently have a table with a VARCHAR column which is used to store notes. Currently the notes read something like 'Verified 01/01/2012'. I am trying to convert it to a date column so I can run reports using the date (select between dates etc).
I have tried with the substr function but since the records are all different doesn't really work. (plus that doesn't make it a date so not sure it would work for searching).
I am using APEX 4.0.2.00.06 on a Linux server running Oracle 11g R2 and have the following problem:
I have a page with two forms for creation of new rows in either the sites table or the site-projects table. Site-projects is defined as follows with four numbers and two character fields:
The entry form uses select lists for many of the fields, but it is the assigned_flag that seems to be causing problems. It�s LOV definition is static2:UNASSIGNED;N,ASSIGNED;Y When I tap the create button, I get :
ORA-20507: Invalid numeric value N for column ASSIGNED_FLAG Error Unable to process row of table SITES.
This suggests that something is going on at the sites table even though I use the create button associated with the site-projects table. Am I invoking the row processing for the sites table as well? Why does it run into invalid number when the field is varchar2? Actually, I get the exact same error if I use the create button on the sites portion of the page.
I have an issue in oracle form 6i. I want to create an input box that accepts only number. As the user press any key other than allowed for numbers it should not accept.
I currently have a field which stores a date (date employer started with the company). I want to create a view which stores this as number of days employed (e.g. if star date 1st October view will say 8). How to convert a date to a number?
