How to resolve ORA 00936 Missing Expression Error?

问题

Select /*+USE_HASH( a b ) */ to_char(date, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') as LABEL,
ltrim(rtrim(substr(oled, 9, 16))) as VALUE,
from rrfh a, rrf b,
where ltrim(rtrim(substr(oled, 1, 9))) = 'stata kish' 
and a.xyz = b.xyz

The "from " (3rd line) part of the above query is giving me ORA-00936 Missing EXPRESSION error. Please Help me

NOTE :: rrfh table contains no data.

Remove the comma?

select /*+USE_HASH( a b ) */ to_char(date, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') as LABEL,
ltrim(rtrim(substr(oled, 9, 16))) as VALUE
from rrfh a, rrf b
where ltrim(rtrim(substr(oled, 1, 9))) = 'stata kish' 
and a.xyz = b.xyz

Have a look at FROM

SELECTING from multiple tables You can include multiple tables in the FROM clause by listing the tables with a comma in between each table name

This answer is not the answer for the above mentioned question but it is related to same topic and might be useful for people searching for same error.

I faced the same error when I executed below mentioned query.

select OR.* from ORDER_REL_STAT OR

problem with above query was OR is keyword so it was expecting other values when I replaced with some other alias it worked fine.

update INC.PROV_CSP_DEMO_ADDR_TEMP pd 
set pd.practice_name = (
    select PRSQ_COMMENT FROM INC.CMC_PRSQ_SITE_QA PRSQ
    WHERE PRSQ.PRSQ_MCTR_ITEM = 'PRNM' 
    AND PRSQ.PRAD_ID = pd.provider_id
    AND PRSQ.PRAD_TYPE = pd.prov_addr_type
    AND ROWNUM = 1
)

Remove the coma at the end of your SELECT statement (VALUE,), and also remove the one at the end of your FROM statement (rrf b,)

回答5:

This happens every time you insert/ update and you don't use single quotes. When the variable is empty it will result in that error. Fix it by using ''

Assuming the first parameter is an empty variable here is a simple example:

Wrong

nvl( ,0)

Fix

nvl('' ,0)

Put your query into your database software and check it for that error. Generally this is an easy fix
