ORA-00911的环境问题：ORA-00911：无效字符\\ n不是由于缺少分号；

Question

I have a website connected to an Oracle database. When I execute the following SQL I get a result returned:

select distinct name from CONTACTS
            where upper(EMAIL) like upper(:info) 
            AND HASACCESS（NAME, :userid) = 'Y' 
            order by NAME desc

I have migrated the same code to a new server. When this code runs I now get the error:

ORA-00911: invalid character\n

I do not have a ; on the end which most people get when they get this error.

Doing some trial and error it is crapping on the call to the Stored Producer / Function call. The database that both bits of code are referencing are the same.

It is not to do with the bind variables because if I hard code them then I still get the error.

I am really perplexed on this one.

Answer 1

I have found the issue. It can be seen here

select distinct name from CONTACTS
            where upper(EMAIL) like upper(:info) 
            AND HASACCESS（NAME, :userid) = 'Y' 
            order by NAME desc

When the function is being called it is using the wrong bracket. It is using （ it should be ( .

PLSQL can run either bracket fine.

Changing the bracket the code now works.

Must be a difference in Oracle driver support. Or something else environmental. Hopefully this may help someone else one day...
