sql error:SQL0206N in db2 v9.1

Hi jmartin,

Have you done a "db2 connect" prior to this call to db2?  You need an active connection to the database.


Kent

yes, db2 is connected and

As I mentioned, I am able to get the result with the select * and select count(*) and also able to query other columns except the above mentioned column "COMPANY_CODE_CURRENCY "

Ok.  Try the SQL below:

db2  "select * from sysibm.tables where table_schema = 'COGNOS' and table_name = 'COMPANY_CODE_CURRENCY'"

Hi guys,
let me post the issue in details

the table description is : tablename = "DIM_COMPANY_CODE_SPEND"

Column                         Type      Type
name                           schema    name               Length   Scale Nulls
------------------------------ --------- ------------------ -------- ----- ------
COMPANY_CODE_SKEY              SYSIBM    INTEGER                   4     0 No
COMPANY_CODE                   SYSIBM    CHARACTER                10     0 Yes
COMPANY_CODE_CURRENCY          SYSIBM    CHARACTER                 3     0 Yes
COMPANY_CODE_DESCRIPTION       SYSIBM    CHARACTER               100     0 Yes
PARENT_COMPANY_SKEY            SYSIBM    INTEGER                   4     0 No
CREATE_DATE                    SYSIBM    DATE                      4     0 No
CREATED_BY                     SYSIBM    CHARACTER                10     0 Yes
LAST_UPDATE_DATE               SYSIBM    DATE                      4     0 Yes
LAST_UPDATED_BY                SYSIBM    CHARACTER                10     0 Yes


when I query the table "DIM_COMPANY_CODE_SPEND" using the below queries

select * from cognos.DIM_COMPANY_CODE_SPEND or

select count(*) from cognos.DIM_COMPANY_CODE_SPEND or

select COMPANY_CODE, COMPANY_CODE_SKEY from cognos.DIM_COMPANY_CODE_SPEND

I am able to get the result(even with other columns except the COMPANY_CODE_CURRENCY column)

when I query the db using the below query:

$ db2 "select COMPANY_CODE_CURRENCY from COGNOS.DIM_COMPANY_CODE_SPEND"
SQL0206N  "COMPANY_CODE_CURRENCY" is not valid in the context where it is
used.  SQLSTATE=42703

I get the above error...
i tried reorg the table and set integrity with no use...Are there any solution to make this column accesable???

it's pretty far fetch but try

db2 "select COMPANY_CODE_CURRENCY from cognos.DIM_COMPANY_CODE_SPEND"

I have pasted the output of the query qith you sent me above :

$ db2 "select COMPANY_CODE_CURRENCY from COGNOS.DIM_COMPANY_CODE_SPEND"

SQL0206N  "COMPANY_CODE_CURRENCY" is not valid in the context where it is
used.  SQLSTATE=42703

The issue is with the column  "COMPANY_CODE_CURRENCY" only

db2 "select COMPANY_CODE_CURRENCY from COGNOS.DIM_COMPANY_CODE_SPEND"

only when I query this particular column seperately I get an error:

SQL0206N  "COMPANY_CODE_CURRENCY" is not valid in the context where it is
used.  SQLSTATE=42703

Hi Jmartin,

The "description" that you posted above is for a table (view) in the SYSIBM schema.  You're querying the COGNOS schema.


Kent

yes, its the cognos schema..I tried to query using the cognos schema

hi Kdo,

the schema is cognos only,


Table/View                      Schema          Type  Creation time
------------------------------- --------------- ----- --------------------------
DIM_ADDRESSABLE_SPEND           COGNOS          T     2011-02-08-13.29.50.693383
DIM_CATEGORY_LEVEL_SPEND        COGNOS          T     2011-02-08-13.29.51.531685
DIM_CLEARING_DOCUMENT_SPEND     COGNOS          T     2011-02-08-13.29.52.750385
DIM_CLEARING_DOCUMENT_SPEND_EX  COGNOS          T     2011-02-11-06.33.17.404292

the table schema is cognos only

i'm little confused here, Do you mean that the columns should also be under the cognos schema???

DIM_COMPANY_CODE_SPEND          COGNOS          T     2011-02-09-09.11.54.975016

Do you have any user level authorities defined that could restrict access to column data?

Can you run the query from the schema owner?  How about from the db2 administrator?


Kent

Hi guys the issue was with the column name, there was a space after the name while created so cud not query it..

thanks for the help

i have found the solution for the issue
