Normally tables and columns are not case sensitive, but they will be if you use quotation marks.

And when you are running it in SQL Developer, are you running the query in Prod (same database as the application) and with the same user?

ORA-00904: STRING: invalid identifier tips Oracle Error Tips by Burleson Consulting Question: I am http://www.club-oracle.com/threads/ora-00904-invalid-identifier.693/ running a SQL statement and I get a SQL*Plus error ORA-00904 invalid identifier. Answer: When ORA-00904 occurs, you must enter a valid column name as it is either missing invalid identifier or the one entered is invalid. The "invalid identifier" most common happens when you are referencing an invalid alias in a select statement. The Oracle docs note this on the ORA-00904 error: ORA-00904 string: invalid identifier Cause: The column name entered is either missing or invalid. Action: Enter a valid column name. A valid column name must begin with 00904 invalid identifier a letter, be less than or equal to 30 characters, and consist of only alphanumeric characters and the special characters $, _, and #. If it contains other characters, then it must be enclosed in double quotation marks. It may not be a reserved word. To avoid ORA-00904, column names cannot be a reserved word, and must contain these four criteria to be valid: begin with a letter be less than or equal to thirty characters consist only of alphanumeric and the special characters ($_#); other characters need double quotation marks around them Another important factor in correcting ORA-00904 is remembering to run catproc.sql You can also check your trace file to find the particular error which is causing the ORA-00904 to occur.

When I try to create a table like this , I get the error below Code (Text): create table EMP ( ID NUMBER not null, CREATION_DATE TIMESTAMP(3) not null, COMMENT VARCHAR2(255), primary key (ID) ) Error: [B]ORA-00904:: invalid identifier[/B] SQL State: 42000 Error Code: 904 What am I missing? Thanks again (... and again) amy85, Apr 4, 2009 #1 tyro Forum Genius Messages: 368 Likes Received: 20 Trophy Points: 260 Location: India hey don't say sorry dear you can't use COMMENT as your column name (the invalid identifier) because it is a oracle reserved term. Use this Code (Text): create table EMP ( ID NUMBER not null, CREATION_DATE TIMESTAMP(3) not null, P_COMMENT VARCHAR2(255), primary key (ID) ) But if you must use COMMENT as a column name put it in between double quotes as below: Code (Text): create table EMP ( ID NUMBER not null, CREATION_DATE TIMESTAMP(3) not null, "COMMENT" VARCHAR2(255), primary key (ID) ) Cheers [] tyro, Apr 4, 2009 #2 amy85 likes this. rajavu Forum Guru Messages: 815 Likes Received: 52 Trophy Points: 610 Location: @ Bangalore , India As you might be knowing , it is not desirable to use the reserved words as a column name of a table . You have to use double quotes always in the application to refer the reserved key word column name. It is recommended to change the column name as suggested by Tyro. Code (SQL): SQL> CREATE TABLE EMP12 ( 2 ID NUMBER NOT NULL, 3 CREATION_DATE TIMESTAMP(3) NOT NULL, 4 "COMMENT" VARCHAR2(255), 5 PRIMARY KEY (ID) 6 ) 7 ; TABLE created. SQL> INSERT INTO EMP12 VALUES ( 10, SYSTIMESTAMP, '1D=10'); 1 ROW created.
