ORA-32036

[mmatveev]

I get this error code when call a function having a query using WITH clause.

Code: Select all

{"ORA-32036: unsupported case for inlining of query name in WITH clause\nORA-06512: at \"RETAILSOLUTIONS2.GetVariablesForS\", line 14"}

The same function from work perfectly in SQL developer, thus the SQL syntax is correct. Then I found that it is a common problem for oracle drivers:
http://orastory.wordpress.com/2007/09/2 ... ora-32036/The suitable workaround is turn off distributed transactions (it was described here http://forums.asp.net/t/990623.aspx ). Unfortunately, setting DistribTx=0 or Enlist=false in connection string doesn’t fix a problem. What you can suggest?

The workaround is using temporary table to store WITH-query results. However I'd like to get rid of temp tables. Is this stange behavior correct or is it a bug?

Could you please send us the query and scripts of all DB objects script illustrating the problem?
We will investigate the situation.

HI,
we moved from very old UniDirect DLL to a new one. Now we started to get this error:

ORA-32036: unsupported case for inlining of query name in WITH clause

The sql query is trying to select data from a very complex function and getting this. But not always. From time to time it works, then again starts to give this error. Any advise?

We are aware of the ORA-32036 problem when working with Oracle 10g in the OCI mode (via Oracle client). There are two possible workarounds:
1. Upgrade your Oracle server: 10g -> 11g.
2. Rewrite your query as it is recommended at http://orastory.wordpress.com/2007/09/2 ... ora-32036/:
"WITH subq_a AS
(SELECT ....
FROM ....
WHERE ....)
, subq_b AS
(SELECT ...
FROM subq_a
, .....
WHERE .....)
, subq_c AS
(SELECT ....
FROM subq_b
, .....
WHERE .....)
SELECT .....
FROM subq_c
, subq_b
WHERE ......;

The problem appears to be from the reuse of a subquery, in the example you give you have subq_b referenced in subq_c and in the main query itself.

I really didn’t want to have to rewrite my query in an awkward to read way, I wanted to keep my subqueries. So I repeated the lines for subq_b, so that now I have subq_b1 and subq_b2, two identical subqueries. I then referenced one in subq_c and the other in the main query. It worked!"
