Question

Using:

  select name, id 
    from "TEST" 
   where id :2 
     AND name :1 
order by id desc

I am getting ORA: 00904 "TEST"."NAME": invalid identifier error but the wierd part is that I have checked my test table and it does not have NAME field but it has name field, I have also checked all the references which is made from that table and all other constraints but still it gives me same error. I do not know why, is there a way where I can check all the columns of the database for NAME column name or any other debuggind approach recommended would be highly welcomed.

DESC TEST; Name Null Type


id NOT NULL NUMBER(11)
name VARCHAR2(29)

Thanks

Was it helpful?

Solution

SELECT *
FROM   ALL_TAB_COLS
WHERE  UPPER(COLUMN_NAME) = 'NAME';

will show you all columns called NAME

EDIT:

Based on your comment, aren't you missing the operators in your WHERE clause? ie =

select name, id
from   "TEST"
where  id :2      -- Surely you mean: id = :2
AND name :1       -- Surely you mean: name = :2
order by id desc

EDIT 2:

Based on the SQL*Plus output, it looks like you've created the table with lower-case column names. Whilst this is possible and valid it's usually just hard work. I'd recreate the columns with upper case names. (as Alex said)

EDIT 3:

I think...

SELECT "id", "name"
FROM   TEST
WHERE  "id" = :1
AND    "name" = :2
ORDER BY "id" desc;

should work

OTHER TIPS

It's a good idea not to surround column and table names with double-quotation marks unless you are know what you are doing and confident you need that.

In Oracle, database object names (including table and columns) are not case-sensitive and assumed upper-case unless you include them into double-quotes.

E.g, if a table created as TEST, it can be referred to as test, Test or TesT or "TEST". But if it is created as "Test", you will only be able to refer to it as "Test" (in double quotation marks). All the other ways will result in "invalid identifier" error.
