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

this information regarding Oracle ORA-01722: ORA-01722 invalid number Cause: The attempted conversion of a character string to a number failed because ora-01722 invalid number sqlldr the character string was not a valid numeric literal. Only numeric fields or character fields containing numeric data may be used in arithmetic functions or expressions. Only numeric fields may be added to or subtracted from dates. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12549029/sql-error-ora-01722-invalid-number Action: Check the character strings in the function or expression. Check that they contain only numbers, a sign, a decimal point, and the character "E" or "e" and retry the operation. Jonathan Gennick provides information regarding Oracle ORA-01722 in conjunction with subqueries and Oracle Optimizer. To exhibit how Oracle ORA-01722 is often thrown, this query is given as an example: SELECT * FROM ( SELECT FLAG, TO_NUMBER ( NUM ) NUM FROM SUBTEST WHERE FLAG = http://www.dba-oracle.com/sf_ora_01722_invalid_number.htm 'N' ) WHERE NUM > 0 ; Here, from in the FROM clause of a query, the user is attempting to have a subquery of the original query, which is causing Oracle ORA-01722 to be thrown. The Oracle ORA-01722 error is thrown with the failure because of the outer query. This is because it is trying to test the NUM > 0 condition first because it is assumed it might be more useful. Gennick goes on to show that Oracle ORA-01722 is thrown because the Oracle optimizer has re-written the query as: SELECT FLAG, TO_NUMBER ( NUM ) NUM FROM SUBTEST WHERE TO_NUMBER ( NUM ) > 0 AND FLAG = 'N' ; This throws Oracle ORA-01722 because the re-written query causes the system to convert a non-numeric NUM value of the WHERE clause into numbers. OraFaq also has notes on Oracle ORA-01722. Here, it is explained that Oracle ORA-01722 is thrown because a particular string was not able o be converted into a specific valid number when a user attempted to convert a character string. There are several possible resolutions to Oracle ORA-01722 in this context: If you are attempting an " INSERT INTO ... VALUES (...) " you need to find out which data item is invalid If you are trying to supply the values in a sub query which is intended to INSERT o

[message #201853] Tue, 07 November 2006 01:39 deepayan Messages: 51Registered: December 2005 Member Dear All, When I'm running im getting the error ORA-1722 http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/71962/2/ invalid number. But I dont have any explanation for that. select COUNT(DISTINCT aia.INVOICE_ID) http://psoug.org/oraerror/ORA-01722.htm from ap_invoices_all aia, ap_invoice_distributions_all aid, hr_operating_units hou where aia.invoice_id = aid.invoice_id and HOU.SET_OF_BOOKS_ID = 85 AND ((NVL(AID.MATCH_STATUS_FLAG, 'N') <> 'A' OR (EXISTS (SELECT 'x' FROM AP_HOLDS_ALL AHA WHERE ((AHA.INVOICE_ID = AIA.INVOICE_ID) AND AHA.RELEASE_REASON IS NULL))))) AND AIA.ORG_ID = aid.org_id and aia.org_id = hou.organization_id group by aia.ORG_ID Any ideas regarding this will be invalid number highly appreciated.

As for invalid number error, check whether columns used in the WHERE clause are numbers. This one might be a problem: HOU.SET_OF_BOOKS_ID = 85 If this column is of a CHARACTER data type, 85 should be enclosed into single quotes.

[message #201879 is a reply to message #201853] Tue, 07 November 2006 03:09 deepayan Messages: 51Registered: December 2005 Member Dear littlefoot, I found the erronious part of the where clause is "aia.org_id = hou.organization_id" . If I omit this ,query is running fine. Now org_id in aia & organaization_id in hou both having datatype number(15).So cant find the reason for this peculiar error. ..............
