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.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Getting ORA-00936 / Expression Missing Error?

Mar 25, 2013

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.

Getting ORA-00936 / Missing Expression Error?

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.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Can Group BY Clause Have Expression Field

Apr 4, 2011

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)

Function To Take In Expression And Fetch The Result

Jun 5, 2009

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].

SQL & PL/SQL :: Windowing Clause In Analytical Function?

Oct 5, 2010

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.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Passing Multiple Values To IN Clause In Function?

Jun 22, 2010

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

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').

ODP.NET :: Ora-00936 With Simple Select Statement?

Dec 19, 2012

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
