Hi:
I have another problem that I have been trying to solve. I have this query
that works perfectly in 8i, but does not work in 9i. The query is
-- not working in 9i but works in 8i:
select distinct arc.TermID, arc.ParentTermID
from arc
connect by prior arc.ParentTermID=arc.TermID
start with arc.TermID in
(select distinct to_number(Curationdetails.text)
from Curationdetails, termlist
where context = 3001817 and
CurationDetails.Text=to_char(termlist.TermID)
and Curationdetails.text='3357971'
);
The error I got from 9i is:
ERROR at line 5:
ORA-01722: invalid number
However, The following sqls work both in 8i and 9i:
select distinct to_number(Curationdetails.text)
from Curationdetails, termlist
where context = 3001817 and
CurationDetails.Text=to_char(termlist.TermID)
and Curationdetails.text='3357971';
select distinct arc.TermID, arc.ParentTermID
from arc
where arc.TermID in
(select distinct to_number(Curationdetails.text)
from Curationdetails, termlist
where context = 3001817 and
CurationDetails.Text=to_char(termlist.TermID)
and Curationdetails.text='3357971'
);
select distinct arc.TermID, arc.ParentTermID
from arc
connect by prior arc.ParentTermID=arc.TermID
start with arc.TermID in (to_number('3357971'));
So I guess I am a bit confused. Does anyone know why the orginal query
failed in 9i?
TIA.
Guang
