Excel - sql to oracle database

Access requires parentheses within the join structures that the vast majority of databases do not require. This is what your current query looks like re-formatted:

SELECT TPJ_WO.CUSTOMERPONO
	, TPJ_SI.SHIPMENTNO
	, TPJ_SDETAILS.ITEMCODE
	, TCM_MASTER.ITEMNAME
	, TPJ_WO.WORKORDERNO
	, TPJ_WO.ITEMNAME
	, TPJ_WO.TARGETPOWER
	, TPJ_SDETAILS.SHIPMENTQUANTITY
	, TCM_FGMASTER.SHIPPINGTYPE
	, TPJ_SI.SHIPMENTDATE
FROM (
	(
		(
			TPJ_SI INNER JOIN TPJ_SDETAILS ON TPJ_SI.SHIPMENTNO = TPJ_SDETAILS.SHIPMENTNO
			) INNER JOIN TPJ_WO ON TPJ_SDETAILS.LOTNO = TPJ_WO.WORKORDERNO
		) INNER JOIN TCM_MASTER ON TPJ_SDETAILS.ITEMCODE = TCM_MASTER.ITEMCODE
	)
INNER JOIN TCM_FGMASTER ON TPJ_SDETAILS.ITEMCODE = TCM_FGMASTER.FINALPRODUCTCOD;
 

Select allOpen in new window

All those parentheses after the word FROM are not required in Oracle (or mssql) and would look like this once they are removed:

SELECT TPJ_WO.CUSTOMERPONO
	, TPJ_SI.SHIPMENTNO
	, TPJ_SDETAILS.ITEMCODE
	, TCM_MASTER.ITEMNAME
	, TPJ_WO.WORKORDERNO
	, TPJ_WO.ITEMNAME
	, TPJ_WO.TARGETPOWER
	, TPJ_SDETAILS.SHIPMENTQUANTITY
	, TCM_FGMASTER.SHIPPINGTYPE
	, TPJ_SI.SHIPMENTDATE
FROM TPJ_SI
INNER JOIN TPJ_SDETAILS ON TPJ_SI.SHIPMENTNO = TPJ_SDETAILS.SHIPMENTNO
INNER JOIN TPJ_WO ON TPJ_SDETAILS.LOTNO = TPJ_WO.WORKORDERNO
INNER JOIN TCM_MASTER ON TPJ_SDETAILS.ITEMCODE = TCM_MASTER.ITEMCODE
INNER JOIN TCM_FGMASTER ON TPJ_SDETAILS.ITEMCODE = TCM_FGMASTER.FINALPRODUCTCOD;

Select allOpen in new window

aside from that I can't see any problem in the sql (oh, those redundant parentheses would be ignored by Oracle I believe) - so that error isn't due to the sql itself.

Check your reference. There might be a conflict. Nothing wrong with your coding.

If something like below both exist in your reference, you would have problem.

Reference: Microsoft DAO 3.6 Object Library
Reference: Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.1 Library

Hi PortletPaul,

Thank you for your response.

I have tried and use dthe query you have constructed. It does not work either.
It's work if i just do a simply query such as "SELECT * FROM TPJ_SDETAILS"

so, i'm not sure it this due to the limited payload in the Excel VBA String Object(i doubt) that send across to network.

I have no clues at all....

Thank you.

Hi Adriankohws,

thank you for your response.
I have checked the reference, only Reference: Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.1 Library  exists.

I have no clues how to resolved this issue. It is kind of hard for me to nail down where is problem. I suspect could it be the limited payload of string in Excel VBA Object or ADODB.Recordset send across network...

Thank you.

YK

curious, try this perhaps. I have put back the parentheses within the from clause (even though I believe they are redundant) but also given each table a single letter alias

SELECT W.CUSTOMERPONO, S.SHIPMENTNO, D.ITEMCODE, M.ITEMNAME, W.WORKORDERNO, W.ITEMNAME, W.TARGETPOWER, D.SHIPMENTQUANTITY, F.SHIPPINGTYPE, S.SHIPMENTDATE FROM ((((TPJ_SI S INNER JOIN TPJ_SDETAILS D ON S.SHIPMENTNO = D.SHIPMENTNO) INNER JOIN TPJ_WO W ON D.LOTNO = W.WORKORDERNO) INNER JOIN TCM_MASTER M ON D.ITEMCODE = M.ITEMCODE) INNER JOIN TCM_FGMASTER F ON D.ITEMCODE = F.FINALPRODUCTCOD);

Select allOpen in new window

This code looks like this when formatted

Hi PortletPaul,
thank you for your response.
It does not work if i join more than 2 tables onwards. I doubt the queries have problem.
I'm not sure does it due to oracle database or Excel VBA ADODB objects..
I hope i can get some pointers.

Thanks

Hi adriankohws,
thank you for your response.

it work, if i just use 2 table join and with condition of where clause.
However, when if i join more than 2 tables onwards, that's where the error msg come..
I'm getting annoyed with the "Excel VBA greeting message" with no clues what is going on...

it seem that there are some limitation as to max table allow join in single queries in VBA excel ADODB object..

it seem that pretty strange to me.. :(
Thanks

Hi PortletPaul & adriankohws,
