ora-06553 pls-306 wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'ogc_x'

Question

I´m trying a query in oracle 10g. It goes like this:

SELECT
  *
FROM
  h2h_reg reg,
  h2h_cat_estatus est
WHERE
  r         


        

Answer 1

you've used double quotes on "X".

this should be 'X'.

the X object is an function in the MDSYS schema, "ogc_x", so when you say est.tipo_estatus = "X" instead of the correct est.tipo_estatus = 'X' it gets translated (as "" is as an identifier so "X" is the same as just typing X) to est.tipo_estatus = mdsys.ogc_x and of course fails.

Answer 2

I found that this error was generated because I had used Oracle reserved words to name some of my columns, e.g. date, time, comment, etc. Once I renamed the columns the problem disappeared.

Answer 3

Try with DISTINCT :

SELECT DISTINCT reg.id_arch, reg.id_prod
  FROM h2h_reg reg, h2h_cat_estatus est
 WHERE reg.FECH_APLICACION = SYSDATE
   AND reg.id_est = est.id_estatus
   AND est.tipo_estatus = 'X'
