Missing Expression for insert statement in PL/SQL ODBM?

问题

I'm attempting to populate an object-relational database in PL/SQL on Oracle SQL Developer, and keep getting the error ORA-00936: Missing Expression.

I've attempted different fixes, but they all result in different errors. The database was provided, and the INSERT statement is all mine.

The result should be inserting into the table properly, but it isn't, and I'm at a loss on how to progress.

-- create OMDB --

/
-- create tables --
create table albums of album_type

Here is my insert statement

insert into albums values (disk_type('The Essential Bob Dylan', 99, '8-Jul-2016', 'Pop', 37.00, 32, 
artist_array_list(artist_type('Bob Dylan', 'Vocals'), artist_type('Bob Dylan', 'Composer')), 
albumReviews(review_type('Shawn', '24-Jul-2018', 'Wife loved it!', 5), review_type('Reuben', '2-Aug-2019', 'Great compilation of some of his most known songs', 5)), 
'Vinyl', 2, '', 11.00)
/

回答1:

You have several errors in your INSERT statement:

You are missing a closing ) at the end (this is something where editors highlighting matching parentheses can help a lot)
you have no type artist_array_list you only haveartist_array_type
you nave no type albumReviews that should be review_table_type

Putting that all together, the following works:

insert into albums 
values (
  disk_type('The Essential Bob Dylan', 99, '8-Jul-2016', 'Pop', 37.00, 32, 
             artist_array_type(artist_type('Bob Dylan', 'Vocals'), 
                               artist_type('Bob Dylan', 'Composer')), 
             review_table_type(review_type('Shawn', '24-Jul-2018', 'Wife loved it!', 5), 
                               review_type('Reuben', '2-Aug-2019', 'Great compilation of some of his most known songs', 5)), 
             'Vinyl', 2, '', 11.00)
);
