SQL & PL/SQL :: To_char Function In Combination With Distinct Clause - ORA-00936 / Missing Expression
Mar 2, 2012
I have a very simple table with 2 columsn. As_of_date is one of the column. This column is "Date" data type.
When I use distinct clause inside a to_char function it gives the following error:
ORA-00936: missing expression
00936. 00000 - "missing expression"
The Sql is
select to_char(distinct(as_of_date),'mm-dd-yyyy') from sales
I can't see any syntax error in the sql..but forsome reason, it doesn't work.

I have created a procedure using the Dynamic SqL and while using the NVL() getting the following error . ORA-00936: missing expression.
The query I have written as
SQL_Txt:=' INSERT INTO VF.tblCData (A, B, C, D, E, F,G,H,I,J)
SELECT '||l_A||',
'||l_B||',
'||l_C||',
'||l_D||',
NULL ,
'||L_F||',
[code]....
For Param1 I have data for one execution and Param2 and Param3 is null for that execution.While executing the same I am getting below
INSERT INTO VF.tblCData (A, B, C, D, E, F,G,H,I,J)
SELECT 25,
1,
7,
6,
NULL ,
5,
[code]....
and error ORA-00936: missing expression is popping up for Param2 and Param3 NVL(,'')

I ran into a problem recently which has to do with the following query:
SELECT '' || ROUND(GEOGR_LAENGE,5) || ',' || ROUND(GEOGR_BREITE,5) || '," [BUE] ' || BAUFORM_GRUPPE || '"', KM
AS TEXT
FROM MYTABLEA mmtable
WHERE (mmtable.GEOGR_LAENGE IS NOT NULL
AND mmtable.GEOGR_BREITE IS NOT NULL
AND mmtable.STRECKE_NR IN
(
[code].....
The problem is, that Oracle alerts a missing expression at line 4, and highlights the "IS NOT NULL". Personally I don't see that anything is wrong with this line. I think the problems source is somewhere else but I cannot find it.
I'll give you a little bit of background to the script:
What I am trying to achieve is to request the values in the first line with the following conditions:
- mmtable.GEOGR_LAENGE, GEOGR_BREITE must not be empty
- rbtable.STRECKE_NR for the requested line (which is similar to mmtable.STRECKE_NR) must have "MITTE" as a value for NL_NAME
- mmtable.KM => rbtable.VON_KM
- mmtable.KM <= rbtable.BIS_KM
so that only those lines will be returned.

I'm working on Oracle SQL Developer: ODMiner. I keep getting a syntax error with the following code,
CREATE TABLE FINAL_WEBLOG AS
select SESSION_DT, C_IP, CS_USER_AGENT,
LISTAGG(WEB_LINK, ' ')
WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY C_IP, CS_USER_AGENT) "WEB_LINKS",
FROM WEBLOG_VIEWS
GROUP BY C_IP, CS_USER_AGENT, SESSION_DT
ORDER BY SESSION_DT
I understand if it's the semicolon that is missing after "FROM WEBLOG_VIEWS", but I'm not sure on how I can rephrase it.
The error I got was,
Error at Command Line:5 Column:2

I am getting the ORA-00936: missing expression error while running the below stated query. Problem is that it is running and fetching the data successfully for the first 5 runs. But from the 6th run it is not fetching the data and throwing the ORA-00936: missing expression error. consider I am passing parameters to the query and for the first 5 values i pass its runnign fine. when i run the query for the 6th time or more with different parameter, its throwing the error. it does not seems to be the data issue because when i pass the 6th parameter for the first run on the next day, it is fetching data.

I have 2 tables used in this problem: ODETAILS and ORDERS.
ODETAILS has the following columns: ONO, PNO, QTY, COST
ORDERS has the following columns: ONO, CNO, ENO, RECEIVED, SHIPPED, ORDER_COST
UPDATE ORDERS
SET ORDER_COST= 1 * ( select SUM(
SELECT COST
FROM ODETAILS
WHERE ORDERS.PNO=ODETAILS.PNO
)
);
In ODETAILS there can be more than 1 row for 1 order. So I'm trying to add all the COSTs in ODETAILS.

New to using Oracle and SQL Developer. I am trying to subtract a maximum date from today and adding back 1 to get a field named daysSinceLastActivity....
Syntax I am trying is (date()-max(activity_date))+1 as daysSinceLastActivity
I keep getting a error message of missing expression. After googling, I am not finding anything. This should be a simple calculation.

Can Group BY clause have an expression field?
Say for example, I want to group by the fields "Type" and and expression called "expression" (which is a case statement). I tried running this query and it says "expression" is invalide identifier.
select type, case when SUBSTR (glnumber, 1, 2) = '05' then 'IS'
when SUBSTR (glnumber, 1, 2) = '06' then 'IS'
else 'BS'
end "expression" , sum(balance)
from table
group by TYPE, "expression"
If there is any online material on how to GROUP BY on an expression(like above)

I have an arithmatic expression which is dynamic say
expression = [Col5]/[Col1]
I will be using this in building a dynamic SQL.so i have to make sure that the divisible by zero is taken care. In the expression Col1,Col5 are values coming from a SQL.
For the above expression, my conversion will be
ROUND( ((CCol4 / DECODE (CCol1, 0, NULL, CCol1) )), 0).
I have to build a function which takes in the expression and fetches me the result.My expression can be any combination of arithmaticexpression involving columns.
Ex:
[Col4 + Col2]/[Col3-Col1]*[Col5].

I need to calculate the sum of values over a period of exactly one month (including the current row). Now if I use a windowing clause of "range between interval '1' month preceding and current row", the total period length is 1 month plus one day (being the day in the current record).
Basically, I want to sum over a period starting at "add_months(startdate, -1) + 1" up until startdate of each row.
drop table window_tst;
create table window_tst
( id number primary key
[Code]....
So instead of having 01-feb going back to 01-jan, it should only include 02-jan till 01-feb
I could of course recalculate the period length back to a number of days for each row, but that is not really what I would prefer, as it would make the code rather unreadable.

I have a function that returns the total sum of an account. From reports I call the function passing the account code. The function sums the values for that specific account code and returns the value. In my function I have the following code :
where account_code = P_CODE.
Eg. The value of :P_CODE is 'CS'.
I now want to pass multiple account codes ('CS','TV',LJ') to the function. How do I change the IN clause in the function to accommodate multiple values.
I have tried using the instr function, but it does not work. eg. AND instr(o.ACCOUNT_CODES,','||P_CODE||',') > 0

SELECT COUNT(*) INTO CNT FROM TBL_ADDRESS WHERE ADDRESS_ZIP

MY_PACK.STR2TBL() is a function which takes '|' delimited string, extracts values and returns a table of zipcodes. The function works fine and returns 46227 but the count returned is 0 instead of 280(count returned by replacing inner select with '46227').

This throws up the error ORA-00936 missing expression.
I know it will work if I put the (+) right after the date before the mask but it need to check the week rather than the date.

can i create the user-defined functions and use them in the FILTER clause in the sem_match function? there are some built-in functions for the FILTER clasue. however, only one function (DATATYPE(literal)) support for date/time in the built-in functions. i want to implement some user-defined funcitons in the FILTER clause which can check time intervals in ontology. there are some functions about valid time in the WorkSpace Manager such as WM_OVERLAPS, WM_CONTAINS,WM_MEETS, etc. so, can i write some functions using the these valid time functions in WM and use them in the FILTER clause?

I get "ORA-00936: missing expression" when I issue the following SQL:
select 4 - .2 from dual
from the following VB.NET code (3.5 framework):
Dim conn As Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection = New Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection(My.Settings.oraconn)
conn.Open()
Dim da As Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleDataAdapter
Dim ds As New DataSet
da = New Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleDataAdapter("select 4 - .2 from dual", conn)
da.Fill(ds)
MsgBox(ds.Tables(0).Rows(0)(0))
I have the following installed when connecting to 10.2.0.3 database:
11.2.0.1 client installed
11.2.0.3.20 ODP installed
This is really strange behaviour as the following SQL variants work:
select 4 - 0.2 from dual
select 4 - '.2' from dual
select -.2 + 4 from dual
This is a big problem as I have a complex application deployed in a number of sites so won't be able to rollout ODP 11
