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 n

UPDATE 3.3 Other Rare Situations What causes this error?[edit] An ORA-01722 ("invalid number") error occurs when an attempt is made to convert a character string into a number, and the string cannot be converted into a valid number. http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/ORA-01722 Valid numbers contain the digits '0' through '9', with possibly one decimal point, a sign https://asktom.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=100:11:0::::p11_question_id:11504677087008 (+ or -) at the beginning or end of the string, or an 'E' or 'e' (if it is a floating point number in scientific notation). All other characters are forbidden. There are numerous situations where this conversion may occur. A numeric column may be the object of an INSERT or an UPDATE statement. Or, a numeric column may appear as part of a invalid number WHERE clause. It is even possible for this error to appear when there are no numeric columns appearing explicitly in the statement! Examples[edit] Here are some examples: SQL> select to_number('3434,3333.000') from dual; ERROR: ORA-01722: invalid number no rows selected The above statement throws the error message, because it has found a character, in this case, a comma and the default format for TO_NUMBER does not contain a comma. The same error can occur when you use arithmetic functions on strings: 01722 invalid number SQL> select 'abc' - 124 from dual; ERROR: ORA-01722: invalid number no rows selected The error can occur when you add dates with string values: SQL> select '01-JUN-01' - 'abc' from dual; ERROR: ORA-01722: invalid number no rows selected How to fix it[edit] The fix depends upon the exact expression which caused the problem. The following guide lists the possible SQL expressions which can give this error, with their most likely cause. When addressing this error, keep in mind that it can indicate a simple keystroke problem with the query, or a deeper problem with the query logic, or even the presence of bad data in the database itself. When doing an INSERT INTO ... VALUES (...)[edit] One of the data items you are trying to insert is an invalid number. Locate and correct it. If all of the numbers appear to be valid, then you probably have your columns out of order, and an item in the VALUES clause is being inserted into a NUMBER column instead of the expected VARCHAR2 column. This can happen when a table has columns added or removed. You are doing an INSERT or UPDATE, with a sub query supplying the values. Obviously, the preceding considerations apply here as well. What makes this more complicated is that the offending character string is hidden as a row in a table. The fix is to identify the row (or rows) which has
August 30, 2011 - 12:53 pm UTC Category: Developer – Version: 8.1.7 Latest Followup You Asked Hi Tom, Could you please help me with the below SQL. I have 2 users "dev" and "admin", both are in same database. DEV>DESC TB_CMA086_US_CITY Name Null? Type ------------------------------------------- -------- ------------ US_CITY_ID NOT NULL NUMBER ADDR_COUNTRY_ID NUMBER ADDR_STATE_ID NUMBER COUNTY_ID NUMBER CITY_ID NUMBER CITY_NAM NOT NULL VARCHAR2(25) CITY_CD NOT NULL VARCHAR2(6) CITY_ZIP_START_CD NOT NULL VARCHAR2(6) CITY_ZIP_END_CD NOT NULL VARCHAR2(6) ADMIN>DESC TB_CMA086_US_CITY Name Null?

Data in both the users are same. Thanks for any help you provide me, Venkat and we said... You seem to think that SQL is processed in "some order". SQL is non procedural -- the query can and is rewritten for optimal performance. You have made the classic mistake here of using a character string field to hold a number. (ugh, i hate that)... You have data in that field that is not a number. The query is being optimized in such a fashion so that it is really being processed as: ops$tkyte@ORA920> SELECT
