00904. 00000 - "%s: Invalid Identifier"
818365 Apr 19, 2011 12:35 PM Hi I'm working on an error handling for my import. Therefore I would like to log invalid stuff in a table. This works fine so far insert into MyErrorTable (Clm1, Clm2, Clm3, ..., Clm20, Clm_WhatHappened) select (Clm1, Clm2, Clm3, ..., Clm20, 'nonsence_static_Text' from MySourceTable;Now I would like to insert the ora 00904 invalid identifier insert statement SQLERRM insert into MyErrorTable (Clm1, Clm2, Clm3, ..., Clm20, Clm_WhatHappened) select (Clm1, Clm2, Clm3, ..., Clm20, SQLERRM from MySourceTable;But I get "PL/SQL: ORA-00904: "SQLERRM": invalid identifier" Did I understand somethong wrong with the insert-command? Is it necessary to create one gigantic varchar-string?

Now there is a case where execution of this procedure produces "ORA-00904: : invalid identifier" error from this statement. How is that even theoretically possible? There are http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4722060/how-can-i-get-ora-00904-invalid-identifier-from-a-valid-package no triggers or dynamic SQL. Also, the ORA-00904 text in sqlerrm is without pointer to any specific identifier that Oracle considers invalid. Oracle version 9.2.0.8 edit2: Turns out there was a problem with a function that was called from within that select (replaced it with constants and everything worked). Probably that was the reason that ORA-00904 did not give an identifier. Still, the question remains - how can that be that precompiled code with no dynamic sql gives this error? oracle oracle9i ora-00904 share|improve this question edited Jan 18 '11 at 12:05 asked Jan 18 '11 at 8:47 jva 2,23111238 5 Can you post some example code please! –Tim Jan 18 '11 at 8:52 2 Are there any views? From what you've said I'd guess you've got an exception handler for all errors (when others) that prints SQLERRM; if you don't have that the exception will be raised anyway and will give more information on where it's coming from. –Alex Poole Jan 18 '11 at 8:53 5 The function that you identified, and anything that called in turn, had no

Answer: When ORA-00904 occurs, you must enter a valid column name as it is either missing or the one entered is invalid. The "invalid identifier" most common happens when invalid identifier 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 a letter, be less than or equal to 30 characters, and consist of only alphanumeric characters and the special characters 00904 invalid identifier $, _, and #. If it contains other characters, then it must be enclosed in double quotation marks. It may not be a reserved word. To avoid ORA-00904, column names cannot be a reserved word, and must contain these four criteria to be valid: begin with a letter be less than or equal to thirty characters consist only of alphanumeric and the special characters ($_#); 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.
