239133 19 So... what's the table definition for CUSTOMER? You've only given half the information needed. –Greg Hewgill Sep 23 '12 at 1:26 2 The telephone numbers are the only thing which might reasonably be a defined as a numeric which your data doesn't represent as a numeric (spaces aren't numeric). So: check your table definition and compare with your input statements. –APC Sep 23 '12 at 22:05 5 Why would people down vote this question. For people who are new to databases, this is a weird error. I can see how enclosing the values with quotes might make it look like it's a string. It just depends on what the database is setup as. It might all be strings or numbers just depends on the fields. Maybe it was an error when the database was created. –sisharp Jun 14 '13 at 19:59 4 I know it's been 2 years, but how about an "accept"? –Aaron Nov 27 '14 at 14:44 2 And yet another year goes by without an "accept." Although, this is my highest scoring answer, so I can't feel too badly. –Aaron Sep 24 '15 at 3:06 add a comment| 12 Answers 12 active oldest votes up vote 70 down vote An ORA-01722 error occurs when an attempt is made to convert a character string into a number,
17, 2012 - 9:21 am UTC Category: – Version: Latest Followup You Asked What is the error ORA-01722 and we said... ORA-1722 is Invalid number. We've attempted to either explicity or implicity convert a character string to a number and it is failing. This can happen for a number ora 01722 invalid number oracle decode of reasons. It generally happens in SQL only (during a query) not in plsql (plsql throws a ora-01722 invalid number select different exception for this error). You can see this error easily by: ops$tkyte@8i> select to_number('abc') from dual; select to_number('abc') from dual * ERROR at line 1:
01722. 00000 - "invalid Number"
ORA-01722: invalid number This error seems to creep into queries in the strangest ways. A change in the order of a predicate can make it come and go -- depending on the order of evaluation in the predicate. Consider this example: ops$tkyte@8i> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12549029/sql-error-ora-01722-invalid-number create table t ( x int, y varchar2(25) ); Table created. ops$tkyte@8i> ops$tkyte@8i> insert into t values ( 1, 'abc' ); 1 row created. ops$tkyte@8i> insert into t values ( 2, '123' ); 1 row created. ops$tkyte@8i> ops$tkyte@8i> ops$tkyte@8i> select * from t where y > 100 and x = 2; X Y ---------- ------------------------- 2 123 ops$tkyte@8i> select * from t where x = 2 and y > 100; select * from t where x = 2 and y > 100 * ERROR https://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:45012348053 at line 1: ORA-01722: invalid number The first query worked since we *tend* to evaluate queries from the bottom up. We evaluated the x=2 part first and never tried to do 'abc' > 100. In the second query, the y>100 was evaluated first. Y was promoted to a number and then compared to 100. 'abc' could not be converted so ORA-1722. The only general purpose solution is to always compare like types to like types. You should either convert the column Y entirely to numbers (clean the data) or use a character string comparision (which changes the meaning of the predicate -- y > 100 is very different from y > '100' ) Reviews Write a Review ORa-01722 March 27, 2001 - 2:30 pm UTC Reviewer: Tom Petrella from Melville, NY I was getting this error and it was driving me nuts because I know everything was syntactically correct and there were no invalid numbers. Be rearranging the order of the where clause i got it to work. Thanks ! Is there a surefire way to avoid this? July 11, 2002 - 10:35 am UTC Reviewer: Adrian from Exeter England Apart from the obvious method, (i.e. Always compare like data-types), is there a sure-fire way to avoid this sort of problem happening? If I have a domain table cg_ref_codes with fields domain, low_value, high_value, abbreviation, meaning (all varchar2). If further some of my domains contain purely numeric values. Is there a way that I can not have to worry about which wa

I’m using Oracle 9i and I have been trying to extract numeric data out of a list of data items, so I created a UDF (User Defined Function) and called it IsNumeric. I faced a serious problem when I wanted to use comparison operators. My data was as follows COL1 COL2 1 12 2 Absent 3 5 4 7 Days 5 7 6 Six Days 7 8 Un Aavalable 9 6 To create the scenario, follow the steps below. 1. Create the Test1 table. And executed the following command create table tes
