a valid SQL statement. This error can occur if the Procedural Option is not installed and a SQL statement is issued that requires this option (for example, a CREATE PROCEDURE http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96525/e900.htm statement). You can determine if the Procedural Option is installed by starting SQL*Plus. If the PL/SQL banner is not displayed, then the option is not installed. Action: Correct the syntax or install the Procedural Option. ORA-00901 invalid CREATE command Cause: The CREATE command was not followed by a valid CREATE option. Action: Correct the syntax. ORA-00902 invalid datatype Cause: The datatype entered in the invalid identifier CREATE or ALTER TABLE statement is not valid. Action: Correct the syntax. ORA-00903 invalid table name Cause: A table or cluster name is invalid or does not exist. This message is also issued if an invalid cluster name or no cluster name is specified in an ALTER CLUSTER or DROP CLUSTER statement. Action: Check spelling. A valid table name or cluster name must begin with 00904 invalid identifier a letter and may contain only alphanumeric characters and the special characters $, _, and #. The name must be less than or equal to 30 characters and cannot be a reserved word. 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 $, _, and #. If it contains other characters, then it must be enclosed in double quotation marks. It may not be a reserved word. ORA-00905 missing keyword Cause: A required keyword is missing. Action: Correct the syntax. ORA-00906 missing left parenthesis Cause: A required left parenthesis has been omitted. Certain commands, such as CREATE TABLE, CREATE CLUSTER, and INSERT, require a list of items enclosed in parentheses. Parentheses also are required around subqueries in WHERE clauses and in UPDATE table SET column = (SELECT...) statements. Action: Correct the syntax, inserting a left parenthesis where required, and retry the statement. ORA-00907 missing right parenthesis Cause: A left parenthesis has been
