problem passing parameters to execute sql-query

Anonymous — Mon, 16 Jan 2006 07:28:47 -0000

Hi,

I'm using Ruby to manipulate data and store it in a
(oracle) database
(using dbi). One column of the table is a NUMBER(6,2)
type -- so it
accepts floating point values.

The SQL-code I want to execute is:
@sql_schrijf_bez = "INSERT INTO
TESTUSER.BG_BEZETTINGSGEGEVENS
(JAAR, MAAND, IDLOCATIE, WAARDE, OPLAADDATUM)
VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, SYSDATE)"

"WAARDE" is the NUMBER(6,2)

When I execute (for example) the next line, I get an
ORA-01722-error:
Invalid number.
sth_bez.execute(2005, 2, 1000, 5.9)

When I adjust @sql_schrijf_bez to:
@sql_schrijf_bez = "INSERT INTO
TESTUSER.BG_BEZETTINGSGEGEVENS
(JAAR, MAAND, IDLOCATIE, WAARDE, OPLAADDATUM)
VALUES (?, ?, ?, 5.9, SYSDATE)"
^^^^^^^

and

sth_bez.execute(2005, 2, 1000).

then there's no problem and the floating point value is
stored in the
database.

Am I missing something? I don't know what the problem
could be... Any
help is more than welcome!

Thanks in advance,
David

Getting Error Message I can't figure out

Here is my query string: It works fine from the psql
prompt, but fails when I do handle.execute() on it.

SELECT s.id,
cwajga_magic_number((cwajga_product(r.rating) ^ (1 /
1)), MAX(lastplay.lastheard), 10, 1061265038) as magic
INTO TEMP magic_order
FROM song AS s LEFT OUTER JOIN rating AS r ON s.id =
r.song LEFT OUTER JOIN lastplay ON lastplay.song = s.id
WHERE r.name IS NULL or r.name ILIKE 'omega697'
GROUP BY s.id;

SELECT SUM(magic) as total INTO TEMP magic_tot FROM
magic_order;

SELECT id, 100.0*magic/total as percent
FROM magic_order, magic_tot
order by percent DESC;

It gives me the following parser error:

DBI::ProgrammingError: ERROR: parser: parse error at
or near 1 at character 66

I totally don't get that parse error when I input it
directly, though, so I don't know what the heck is
going on.
