ORA-12700 to ORA-19399


ORA-12700 invalid NLS parameter value (string)

Cause: An invalid NLS initialization parameter was specified.

Action: Check the syntax and spelling of the parameter. Enter the correct parameter into the initialization parameter file.


ORA-12701 CREATE DATABASE character set is not known

Cause: The character set specified in the CREATE DATABASE command does not exist on the system.

Action: Refer to your Oracle operating system-specific documentation for more information about character sets on the system. Use a valid character set in the CREATE DATABASE command.


ORA-12702 invalid NLS parameter string used in SQL function

Cause: An invalid parameter or value was entered in the NLS parameter string in a SQL function.

Action: Check the syntax of the function and the parameters. Enter the command again using the correct syntax and valid values.


ORA-12703 this character set conversion is not supported

Cause: An attempt was made to use the CONVERT function to convert between two character sets, and the requested conversion is not possible due to unavailability of one or both character sets.

Action: Use character sets available on the system in the CONVERT function.


ORA-12704 character set mismatch

Cause: One of the following:

  • The string operands (other than an NLSPARAMS argument) to an operator or built-in function do not have the same character set.
  • An NLSPARAMS operand is not in the database character set.
  • String data with character set other than the database character set is passed to a built-in function not expecting it.
  • The second argument to CHR() or CSCONVERT() is not CHAR_CS or NCHAR_CS.
  • A string expression in the VALUES clause of an INSERT statement, or the SET clause of an UPDATE statement, does not have the same character set as the column into which the value would be inserted.
  • A value provided in a DEFAULT clause when creating a table does not have the same character set as declared for the column.
  • An argument to a PL/SQL function does not conform to the character set requirements of the corresponding parameter.

Action: Strings declared with NCHAR or NCHAR VARYING do not interoperate with strings declared with CHAR or VARCHAR2. Use TRANSLATE() function to explicitly convert one to the other.


ORA-12705 invalid or unknown NLS parameter value specified

Cause: There are two possible causes: Either an attempt was made to issue an ALTER SESSION statement with an invalid NLS parameter or value; or the NLS_LANG environment variable contains an invalid language, territory, or character set.

Action: Check the syntax of the ALTER SESSION statement and the NLS parameter, correct the syntax and retry the statement, or specify correct values in the NLS_LANG environment variable. For more information about the syntax of the ALTER SESSION statement, see the Oracle9i SQL Reference.


ORA-12706 this CREATE DATABASE character set is not allowed

Cause: An attempt was made to create a database on an ASCII-based machine using an EBCDIC-based character set or vice versa. This is not permitted.

Action: Create the database using either ASCII-based or EBCDIC-based character sets, depending on what is supported by the hardware. Refer to your Oracle operating system-specific documentation for more information about the type of character set supported.

ORA-12712 new character set must be a superset of old character set

Cause: When you ALTER DATABASE ... CHARACTER SET, the new character set must be a superset of the old character set. For example, WE8ISO8859P1 is not a superset of the WE8DEC.

Action: Specify a superset character set.


ORA-12713 Character data loss in NCHAR/CHAR conversion

Cause: When character set conversion happens between CHAR and NCHAR either implicitly or explicitly, some characters are lost due to no mapping characters in the destination character set.

Action: Make sure all the characters can be mapped to destination character set or set NLS_NCHAR_CONV_EXCP to false.


ORA-12714 invalid national character set specified

Cause: Only UTF8 and AL16UTF16 are allowed to be used as the national character set.

Action: Ensure that the specified national character set is valid.

Action: Ensure that lengths of high bound values do not exceed those of corresponding partitioning columns.


ORA-14037 partition bound of partition "string" is too high

Cause: High bound of the partition whose name (explicitly specified by the user) is displayed in this message did not collate lower than that of the following partition, which is illegal.

Action: Ensure that high bound of every partition (except for the last one) collates lower than that of a following partition.


ORA-14038 GLOBAL partitioned index must be prefixed

Cause: An attempt was made to create a GLOBAL non-prefixed partitioned index which is illegal.

Action: If a non-prefixed index is desired, it must be created as LOCAL; otherwise, correct the list of key and/or partitioning columns to ensure that the index is prefixed. Then retry the operation.


ORA-14039 partitioning columns must form a subset of key columns of a UNIQUE index

Cause: An attempt was made to create a UNIQUE partitioned index whose partitioning columns do not form a subset of its key columns which is illegal.

Action: If you want to create an index whose partitioning columns do not form a subset of its key columns, it must be created as non-UNIQUE; otherwise, correct the list of key and/or partitioning columns to ensure that the index's partitioning columns form a subset of its key columns.


ORA-14041 partition bound may not be specified for resulting partitions

Cause: While parsing an ALTER {TABLE|INDEX} SPLIT PARTITION statement, partition_description of a resulting partition was found to contain VALUES LESS THAN clause which is illegal.

Action: Remove VALUES LESS THAN clause from the description(s) of partitions resulting from splitting an existing table or index partition.


ORA-14042 partition bound may not be specified for a partition being moved, modified or rebuilt

Cause: While parsing an ALTER {TABLE|INDEX} MODIFY PARTITION, ALTER TABLE MOVE PARTITION, or ALTER INDEX REBUILD PARTITION statement, description of new physical attributes of the partition being moved, modified, or rebuilt was found to contain VALUES LESS THAN clause which is illegal.

Action: Remove VALUES LESS THAN clause from the description of new attributes of the partition being moved, modified, or rebuilt.


ORA-14043 only one partition may be added

Cause: ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION contained descriptions of more than one partition to be added.

Action: Ensure that the statement contains exactly one partition definition and that it does not contain any commas.


ORA-14044 only one partition may be moved

Cause: ALTER TABLE MOVE PARTITION contained descriptions of more than one partition to be moved.

Action: Ensure that the statement describes exactly one partition to be moved and that it does not contain any commas.


ORA-14045 only one partition may be modified

Cause: ALTER TABLE|INDEX MODIFY PARTITION contained descriptions of more than one partition to be modified.

Action: Ensure that the statement describes exactly one partition to be modified and that it does not contain any commas.


ORA-14046 a partition may be split into exactly two new partitions

Cause: ALTER TABLE|INDEX SPLIT PARTITION did not contain descriptions of exactly two new partitions into which an existing table or index partition was to be split.

Action: Ensure that the statement describes exactly two partition into which an existing partition is to be split.


ORA-14047 ALTER TABLE|INDEX RENAME may not be combined with other operations

Cause: ALTER TABLE or ALTER INDEX statement attempted to combine a RENAME operation with some other operation which is illegal.

Action: Ensure that RENAME operation is the sole operation specified in ALTER TABLE or ALTER INDEX statement.


ORA-14048 a partition maintenance operation may not be combined with other operations

Cause: The ALTER TABLE or ALTER INDEX statement attempted to combine a partition maintenance operation (for example, MOVE PARTITION) with some other operation (for example, ADD PARTITION or PCTFREE) which is illegal.

Action: Ensure that a partition maintenance operation is the sole operation specified in an ALTER TABLE or ALTER INDEX statement; operations other than those dealing with partitions, default attributes of partitioned tables/indices, or specifying that a table be renamed (ALTER TABLE RENAME) can be combined.


ORA-14049 invalid ALTER TABLE MODIFY PARTITION option

Cause: An option other than PCTFREE, PCTUSED, INITRANS, MAXTRANS, STORAGE, BACKUP, ALLOCATE EXTENT, or DEALLOCATE UNUSED was specified in an ALTER TABLE MODIFY PARTITION statement for a range or composite range partition.

Action: Specify only legal options.


ORA-14050 invalid ALTER INDEX MODIFY PARTITION option

Cause: An option other than INITRANS, MAXTRANS, STORAGE, or DEALLOCATE UNUSED was specified in an ALTER INDEX MODIFY PARTITION statement.

Action: Specify only legal options.


ORA-14051 invalid ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW option

Cause: An option other than PCTFREE, PCTUSED, INITRANS, MAXTRANS, STORAGE, or BACKUP was specified in an ALTER MATERIALIZED VIEW statement.

Action: Specify only legal options.


ORA-14052 partition-extended table name syntax is disallowed in this context

Cause: An attempt was made to use partition-extended table name syntax in illegal context (that is, not in FROM-clause or INSERT, DELETE, or UPDATE statement).

Action: Avoid use of partition-extended table name in contexts other those mentioned above.


ORA-14053 illegal attempt to modify string in string statement

Cause: Certain attributes of objects (for example, tables) may be specified at creation time, but may not be modified using ALTER statement. Unfortunately, user specified one of such attributes.

Action: Ensure that ALTER statement specifies new values only for attributes which may be changed once an object has been created.


ORA-14054 invalid ALTER TABLE TRUNCATE PARTITION option

Cause: Name of the partition to be truncated may be followed by DROP STORAGE or REUSE STORAGE.

Action: Ensure that no options besides DROP STORAGE or REUSE STORAGE are specified with ALTER TABLE TRUNCATE PARTITION.


ORA-14055 keyword REBUILD in ALTER INDEX REBUILD must immediately follow index_name

Cause: ALTER INDEX statement contained REBUILD keyword following some index attributes (for example, INITRANS).

Action: Ensure that keyword REBUILD immediately follows the name of the index being altered.


ORA-14056 partition number string: sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE may not exceed 100

Cause: The sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE for a partition whose number (partitions are numbered starting with 1) is displayed in this message exceeds 100. Note that if PCTUSED and/or PCTFREE values for this partition were not specified explicitly, default values for the partitioned table or index would be used. If, in turn, default PCTUSED and/or PCTFREE values for the partitioned table or index were not specified, system defaults would be used.

Action: Ensure that a sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE for the partition does not exceed 100.


ORA-14057 partition "string": sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE may not exceed 100

Cause: The sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE for a partition whose name (explicitly specified by the user) is displayed in this message exceeds 100. Note that if PCTUSED and/or PCTFREE values for this partition were not specified explicitly, default values for the partitioned table or index would be used. If, in turn, default PCTUSED and/or PCTFREE values for the partitioned table or index were not specified, system defaults would be used.

Action: Ensure that a sum of PCTUSED and PCTFREE for the partition does not exceed 100.


ORA-14058 partition number string: INITRANS value must be less than MAXTRANS value

Cause: Value of INITRANS was found to be greater than that of MAXTRANS for a partition whose number (partitions are numbered starting with 1) is displayed in this message. Note that if INITRANS and/or MAXTRANS values for this partition were not specified explicitly, default values for the partitioned table or index would be used. If, in turn, default INITRANS and/or MAXTRANS values for the partitioned table or index were not specified, system defaults would be used.

Action: Ensure that the value of INITRANS (whether specified explicitly or derived from the default value for the partitioned table or index) is no greater than that of MAXTRANS.


ORA-14059 partition "string": INITRANS value must be less than MAXTRANS value

Cause: Value of INITRANS was found to be greater than that of MAXTRANS for a partition whose name (explicitly specified by the user) is displayed in this message. Note that if INITRANS and/or MAXTRANS values for this partition were not specified explicitly, default values for the partitioned table or index would be used. If, in turn, default INITRANS and/or MAXTRANS values for the partitioned table or index were not specified, system defaults would be used.

Action: Ensure that the value of INITRANS (whether specified explicitly or derived from the default value for the partitioned table or index) is no greater than that of MAXTRANS.


ORA-14060 data type or length of a table partitioning column may not be changed

Cause: User issued ALTER TABLE statement attempting to modify data type and/or length of a column used to partition the table named in ALTER TABLE statement, which is illegal.

Action: Avoid modifying data type and/or length of table partitioning column(s).


ORA-14061 data type or length of an index partitioning column may not be changed

Cause: User issued ALTER TABLE statement attempting to modify data type and/or length of a column used to partition some index defined on the table named in ALTER TABLE statement, which is illegal.

Action: Avoid modifying data type and/or length of index partitioning column(s).


ORA-14062 one or more of table's partitions reside in a read-only tablespace

Cause: User issued ALTER TABLE statement attempting to modify an existing VARCHAR2 (or VARCHAR) column to be of type CHAR (or CHARACTER), increase length of an existing CHAR (or CHARACTER) column, or add a column with user-specified default for a table one or more partitions of which reside in read-only tablespaces, which is illegal.

Action: Avoid performing aforementioned operations on a partitioned table one or more partitions of which reside in read-only tablespaces.


ORA-14063 Unusable index exists on unique/primary constraint key

Cause: An attempt was made to add or enable a primary key/unique constraint on column(s) of a table on which there exists an index marked Index Unusable.

Action: Drop the existing index or rebuild it using ALTER INDEX REBUILD.


ORA-14064 Index with Unusable partition exists on unique/primary constraint key

Cause: An attempt was made to add or enable a primary key/unique constraint on column(s) of a table on which there exists an index one or more partitions of which are marked Index Unusable.

Action: Drop the existing index or rebuild unusable partitions it using ALTER INDEX REBUILD PARTITION.


ORA-14065 ALLOCATE STORAGE may not be specified for a partitioned table

Cause: User specified ALLOCATE STORAGE clause in ALTER TABLE statement issued against a partitioned table which is illegal.

Action: Remove the illegal option. If it is desired to add storage to individual partitions, ALLOCATE STORAGE clause may be specified with ALTER TABLE MODIFY PARTITION statement.


ORA-14066 illegal option for a non-partitioned index-organized table

Cause: An attempt was made to issue a CREATE or ALTER TABLE command on a non-partitioned index-organized table, but the command contains an option that is legal only for partitioned index-organized tables. Such options are: ENABLE ROW MOVEMENT and DISABLE ROW MOVEMENT.

Action: Remove the illegal options from the command.


ORA-14067 duplicate TABLESPACE_NUMBER specification

Cause: TABLESPACE_NUMBER clause was specified more than once for a table, an index, or an index partition.

Action: Correct the code generating text of CREATE INDEX statement sent to the slaves.


ORA-14068 TABLESPACE and TABLESPACE_NUMBER may not be both specified

Cause: Both TABLESPACE and TABLESPACE_NUMBER clauses were specified for a table, an index, or an index partition.

Action: Correct the code generating text of CREATE INDEX statement sent to the slaves.


ORA-14069 invalid TABLESPACE_NUMBER value

Cause: The TABLESPACE_NUMBER value is not an integer between 0 and 0x7FFFFFFF.

Action: Correct the code generating text of CREATE INDEX statement sent to the slaves.


ORA-14070 option may be specified only for partitioned indices or with REBUILD

Cause: User issued ALTER INDEX statement containing an option which is legal only for partitioned indices or in conjunction with REBUILD against a non-partitioned index. Such options are: PCTFREE, TABLESPACE, [NO]PARALLEL and INITIAL, FREELISTS, and FREELIST GROUPS inside STORAGE clause.

Action: Remove illegal option(s).


ORA-14071 invalid option for an index used to enforce a constraint

Cause: An option other than COMPRESS, NOCOMPRESS, PCTFREE, INITRANS, MAXTRANS, STORAGE, TABLESPACE, PARALLEL, NOPARALLEL, RECOVERABLE, UNRECOVERABLE, LOGGING, NOLOGGING, LOCAL, or GLOBAL was specified for an index used to enforce a constraint.

Action: Choose one of the valid index options.


ORA-14072 fixed table may not be truncated

Cause: An attempt was made to truncate a fixed table which is illegal.

Action: Ensure that the table being truncated is not a fixed table.


ORA-14073 bootstrap table or cluster may not be truncated

Cause: An attempt was made to truncate a bootstrap table or cluster which is illegal.

Action: Ensure that the table (or cluster) being truncated is not a bootstrap table (or cluster).


ORA-14074 partition bound must collate higher than that of the last partition

Cause: Partition bound specified in ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION statement did not collate higher than that of the table's last partition, which is illegal.

Action: Ensure that the partition bound of the partition to be added collates higher than that of the table's last partition.


ORA-14075 partition maintenance operations may only be performed on partitioned indices

Cause: Index named in ALTER INDEX partition maintenance operation is not partitioned, making a partition maintenance operation, at best, meaningless.

Action: Ensure that the index named in ALTER INDEX statement specifying a partition maintenance operation is, indeed, partitioned.


ORA-14076 DROP/SPLIT PARTITION may not be applied to a LOCAL index partition

Cause: An attempt was made to drop or split a partition of a LOCAL index which is illegal.

Action: Ensure that the index named in such statement is a GLOBAL partitioned index.


ORA-14078 you may not drop the highest partition of a GLOBAL index

Cause: An attempt was made to drop highest partition of a GLOBAL index, which is illegal.

Action: Ensure that the partition specified in ALTER INDEX DROP PARTITION statement is not the highest partition of the index.


ORA-14079 illegal option for a partition marked Index Unusable

Cause: ALTER INDEX MODIFY PARTITION statement against an index partition marked Index Unusable contained STORAGE and/or DEALLOCATE SPACE clauses which is illegal.

Action: Ensure that only valid options are specified.


ORA-14080 partition cannot be split along the specified high bound

Cause: An attempt was made to split a partition along a bound which either collates higher than that of the partition to be split or lower than that of a partition immediately preceding the one to be split.

Action: Ensure that the bound along which a partition is to be split collates lower than that of the partition to be split and higher that of a partition immediately preceding the one to be split.


ORA-14081 new partition name must differ from the old partition name

Cause: User entered ALTER TABLE/INDEX RENAME PARTITION specifying new_partition_name which is identical to the name of the partition being renamed.

Action: Ensure that the new partition name is different from the name of any (including the one being renamed) existing partition of a given table or index.


ORA-14082 new partition name must differ from that of any other partition of the object

Cause: User entered ALTER TABLE/INDEX RENAME PARTITION specifying new_partition_name which is identical to the name of some existing partition of the object.

Action: Ensure that the new partition name is different from the name of any (including the one being renamed) existing partition of a given table or index.


ORA-14083 cannot drop the only partition of a partitioned table

Cause: A drop partition command is being executed when there is only one partition in the table.

Action: Ensure that there is at least one partition. Drop table to remove all partitions.


ORA-14084 you may specify TABLESPACE DEFAULT only for a LOCAL index

Cause: An attempt was made to specify TABLESPACE DEFAULT for an object other than a LOCAL index, which is illegal.

Action: Re-enter the statement without TABLESPACE DEFAULT clause.


ORA-14085 partitioned table cannot have column with LONG datatype

Cause: An attempt was made to create a partitioned table with a LONG datatype or tried to add a LONG datatype column to a partitioned table.

Action: LONG data types are not supported with partitioned tables. Create table without LONG column or change table to not partitioned. If adding column, do not use LONG datatype. If modifying attributes of a column to change data type to LONG, it has to be a non-partitioned table.


ORA-14086 a partitioned index may not be rebuilt as a whole

Cause: An attempt was made to rebuild a partitioned index using ALTER INDEX REBUILD statement, which is illegal.

Action: Rebuild the index a partition at a time (using ALTER INDEX REBUILD PARTITION) or drop and re-create the entire index.


ORA-14094 invalid ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION option

Cause: Name of the table to be EXCHANGED has to be followed by [{INCLUDING|EXCLUDING} INDEXES][{WITH|WITHOUT} VALIDATION].

Action: Ensure that no options besides INCLUDING INDEXES or EXCLUDING INDEXES are specified with ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION.


ORA-14095 ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE requires a non-partitioned, non-clustered table

Cause: The table in the EXCHANGE operation is either clustered or partitioned.

Action: Ensure that the table with which the partition is being exchanged for is not partitioned or clustered.


ORA-14096 tables in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION must have the same number of columns

Cause: The two tables specified in the EXCHANGE have different number of columns.

Action: Ensure that the two tables have the same number of columns with the same type and size.


ORA-14097 column type or size mismatch in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION

Cause: The corresponding columns in the tables specified in the ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION are of different type or size.

Action: Ensure that the two tables have the same number of columns with the same type and size.


ORA-14098 index mismatch for tables in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION

Cause: The two tables specified in the EXCHANGE have indexes which are not equivalent.

Action: Ensure that the indexes for the two tables have indexes which follow this rule For every non-partitioned index for the non-partitioned table, there has to be an identical LOCAL index on the partitioned table and vice versa. By identical, the column position, type and size have to be the same.


ORA-14099 all rows in table do not qualify for specified partition

Cause: There is at least one row in the non-partitioned table which does not qualify for the partition specified in the ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION.

Action: Ensure that all the rows in the segment qualify for the partition. Perform the alter table operation with the NO CHECKING option. Run ANALYZE table VALIDATE on that partition to find out the invalid rows and delete them.


ORA-14100 partition extended table name cannot refer to a remote object

Cause: An attempt was made to use partition-extended table name syntax in conjunction with remote object name which is illegal.

Action: Correct the statement and re-enter it.


ORA-14101 partition extended table name cannot refer to a synonym

Cause: An attempt was made to use partition-extended table name syntax in conjunction with synonym name which is illegal.

Action: Correct the statement and re-enter it.


ORA-14102 only one LOGGING or NOLOGGING clause may be specified

Cause: LOGGING was specified more than once, NOLOGGING was specified more than once, or both LOGGING and NOLOGGING were specified.

Action: Remove all but one of the LOGGING or NOLOGGING clauses and reissue the statement.


ORA-14103 LOGGING/NOLOGGING may not be combined with RECOVERABLE/UNRECOVERABLE

Cause: A statement contained both [NO]LOGGING and [UN]RECOVERABLE clauses which is disallowed.

Action: Remove one of the offending clauses. [UN]RECOVERABLE is being deprecated in V8 and will be obsoleted in V9. To duplicate semantics of UNRECOVERABLE clause, create an object with NOLOGGING option and then ALTER it specifying LOGGING. To duplicate semantics of RECOVERABLE clause, create an object with LOGGING option.


ORA-14104 RECOVERABLE/UNRECOVERABLE may not be specified for partitioned tables/indices

Cause: CREATE TABLE/INDEX statement used to create a partitioned table/index contained RECOVERABLE or UNRECOVERABLE clause which is illegal.

Action: Remove offending clause. [UN]RECOVERABLE is being deprecated in V8 and will be obsoleted in V9. To duplicate semantics of UNRECOVERABLE clause, create an object with NOLOGGING option and then ALTER it specifying LOGGING. To duplicate semantics of RECOVERABLE clause, create an object with LOGGING option.


ORA-14105 RECOVERABLE/UNRECOVERABLE may not be specified in this context

Cause: RECOVERABLE/UNRECOVERABLE clause is not allowed in this context.

Action: Remove offending clause. RECOVERABLE/UNRECOVERABLE may only be specified in CREATE TABLE/INDEX statement describing a non-partitioned table or index and ALTER INDEX REBUILD statement. [UN]RECOVERABLE is being deprecated in V8 and will be obsoleted in V9. To duplicate semantics of UNRECOVERABLE clause, create an object with NOLOGGING option and then ALTER it specifying LOGGING. To duplicate semantics of RECOVERABLE clause, create an object with LOGGING option.


ORA-14106 LOGGING/NOLOGGING may not be specified for a clustered table

Cause: An attempt was made to specify LOGGING or NOLOGGING clause in CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE statement involving a clustered table.

Action: Remove offending clause.


ORA-14107 partition specification is required for a partitioned object

Cause: parameter which supplies partition name is missing. This parameter is optional for non-partitioned objects, but is required for partitioned objects.

Action: Supply the missing parameter.


ORA-14108 illegal partition-extended table name syntax

Cause: Partition to be accessed may only be specified using its name. An attempt was made to use a partition number or a bind variable.

Action: Modify the statement to refer to a partition using its name.


ORA-14109 partition-extended object names may only be used with tables

Cause: An attempt was made to use a partition-extended object name with an object which is not a table.

Action: Avoid using partition-extended name syntax with objects which are not tables.


ORA-14110 partitioning column may not be of type ROWID

Cause: Partitioning column specified by the user was of type ROWID, which is illegal.

Action: Ensure that no partitioning column is of type ROWID.


ORA-14111 creation of GLOBAL partitioned indices on clustered tables is not supported

Cause: An attempt was made to create a GLOBAL partitioned index on a clustered table which is currently illegal.

Action: Remove PARTITION BY RANGE() clause along with (partition_list) to create a GLOBAL non-partitioned index on a clustered table.


ORA-14112 RECOVERABLE/UNRECOVERABLE may not be specified for a partition or subpartition

Cause: Description of a partition or subpartition found in CREATE TABLE/INDEX statement contained RECOVERABLE or UNRECOVERABLE clause which is illegal.

Action: Remove offending clause. Use LOGGING or NOLOGGING instead.


ORA-14113 partitioned table cannot have column with LOB datatype

Cause: An attempt was made to create a partitioned table with a LOB datatype or tried to add a LOB datatype column to a partitioned table.

Action: LOB data types are not supported with partitioned tables. Create table without LOB column or change table to not partitioned. If adding column, do not use LOB datatype. If modifying attributes of a column to change data type to LOB, it has to be a non-partitioned table.


ORA-14114 partitioned table cannot have column with object, REF, nested table, array datatype

Cause: An attempt was made to create a partitioned table with a object datatype (object, REF, nested table, array) or tried to add a object datatype column to a partitioned table.

Action: object data types are not supported with partitioned tables. Create table without object column or change table to not partitioned. If adding column, do not use object datatypes. If modifying attributes of a column to change data type to object, it has to be a non-partitioned table.


ORA-14115 partition bound of partition number string is too long

Cause: Length of linear key representation of a high bound of the partition whose number (partitions are numbered starting with 1) is displayed in this message exceeded the legal limit (4K).

Action: Change representation of a partition high bound to bring its length within legal limit.


ORA-14116 partition bound of partition "string" is too long

Cause: Length of linear key representation of a high bound of the partition whose name (explicitly specified by the user) is displayed in this message exceeded the legal limit (4K).

Action: Change representation of a partition high bound to bring its length within legal limit.


ORA-14117 partition resides in offlined tablespace

Cause: User attempted an operation requiring that we access data in a partition which resides in a tablespace which was taken offline. Such operations include trying to drop a tablespace of a table which has indices defined on it or is referenced by a constraint.

Action: Bring the tablespace online before attempting the operation.


ORA-14118 CHECK constraint mismatch in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION

Cause: The corresponding columns in the tables specified in the ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION statement have CHECK constraint defined on them.

Action: Ensure that the two tables do not have CHECK constraint defined on any column.


ORA-14119 specified partition bound is too long

Cause: Length of a linear key representation of a high bound of a table partition being added or along which an existing table or index partition is being split exceeded the legal limit (4K).

Action: Change representation of a partition high bound to bring its length within legal limit.


ORA-14120 incompletely specified partition bound for a DATE column

Cause: An attempt was made to use a date expression whose format does not fully (that is, day, month, and year (including century)) specify a date as a partition bound for a DATE column. The format may have been specified explicitly (using TO_DATE() function) or implicitly (NLS_DATE_FORMAT).

Action: Ensure that date format used in a partition bound for a DATE column supports complete specification of a date (that is, day, month, and year (including century)). If NLS_DATE_FORMAT does not support complete (that is, including the century) specification of the year, use TO_DATE() (for example, TO_DATE('01-01-1999', 'MM-DD-YYYY') to fully express the desired date.


ORA-14121 MODIFY DEFAULT ATTRIBUTES may not be combined with other operations

Cause: ALTER TABLE or ALTER INDEX statement attempted to combine MODIFY DEFAULT ATTRIBUTES with some other operation (for example, ADD PARTITION or PCTFREE) which is illegal.

Action: Ensure that MODIFY DEFAULT ATTRIBUTES is the sole operation specified in ALTER TABLE or ALTER INDEX statement; operations other than those dealing with partitions, default attributes of partitioned tables/indices or specifying that a table be renamed (ALTER TABLE RENAME) may be combined at will.


ORA-14122 only one REVERSE or NOREVERSE clause may be specified

Cause: Both REVERSE and NOREVERSE were specified in CREATE INDEX statement.

Action: Remove all but one of the REVERSE or NOREVERSE clauses and reissue the statement.


ORA-14123 duplicate NOREVERSE clause

Cause: NOREVERSE was specified more than once in ALTER INDEX statement.

Action: Remove all but one of the NOREVERSE clauses and reissue the statement.


ORA-14124 duplicate REVERSE clause

Cause: REVERSE was specified more than once in ALTER INDEX or CREATE INDEX statements.

Action: Remove all but one of the REVERSE clauses and reissue the statement.


ORA-14125 REVERSE/NOREVERSE may not be specified in this context

Cause: REVERSE/NOREVERSE clause is not allowed in this context.

Action: Remove offending clause. REVERSE may be specified as an attribute of an index (not of an individual partition, if creating a partitioned index) in CREATE INDEX statement and ALTER INDEX REBUILD statement. NOREVERSE may be specified only in ALTER INDEX REBUILD statement.


ORA-14126 only a parallel_clause may follow description(s) of resulting partitions

Cause: Descriptions of partition(s) resulting from splitting of a table or index partition may be followed by an optional parallel_clause which applies to the entire statement and which, in turn, may not be followed by any other clause.

Action: Ensure that all partition attributes appear within the parenthesized list of descriptions of resulting partitions in ALTER TABLE/INDEX SPLIT PARTITION statement.


ORA-14128 FOREIGN KEY constraint mismatch in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION

Cause: The corresponding columns in the tables specified in the ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION statement have different FOREIGN KEY constraints.

Action: Ensure that the two tables do not have FOREIGN KEY constraints defined on any column or disable all FOREIGN KEY constraints on both tables. Then retry the operation.


ORA-14129 INCLUDING INDEXES must be specified as tables have enabled UNIQUE constraints

Cause: Matching UNIQUE constraints in both table are enabled and validated but INCLUDING INDEXES is not specified in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION|SUBPARTITION command.

Action: Disable currently enabled matching UNIQUE constraints on both tables or ensure that INCLUDING INDEXES option is used.


ORA-14130 UNIQUE constraints mismatch in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION

Cause: One of the tables named in the ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION command has a UNIQUE constraint for which no matching (vis-a-vis key columns) constraint is defined on the other table or a matching constraint is defined on the other table, but it differs from that defined on the first table vis-a-vis being enabled and/or validated.

Action: Ensure that for every UNIQUE constraint defined on one of the tables named in the ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION statement there is a matching (vis-a-vis key columns and being enabled and/or validated) UNIQUE constraint defined on the other table. If UNIQUE constrains are enabled, UNIQUE constraints on the partitioned table should be enforced using local indexes.


ORA-14131 enabled UNIQUE constraint exists on one of the tables

Cause: One of the tables referenced in the ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION|SUBPARTITION statement has enabled UNIQUE constraint(s) defined on it, which prevents EXCHANGE from proceeding.

Action: Disable constraints defined on tables referenced in the ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION|SUBPARTITION statement and retry the statement.


ORA-14132 table cannot be used in EXCHANGE

Cause: An attempt was made to issue an ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION | SUBPARTITION command, but the non-partitioned table cannot be used in the EXCHANGE because one or more of the following apply:

  • it is a typed table
  • it contains ADT columns
  • it contains nested-table columns
  • it contains REF columns
  • it contains array columns
  • it is an index-organized table
  • it contains LOB columns
  • it is a nested table

Action: Make sure the non-partitioned table does not violate any of the above restrictions for the ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION | SUBPARTITION command.


ORA-14133 ALTER TABLE MOVE cannot be combined with other operations

Cause: An attempt was made to combine an ALTER TABLE MOVE statement with another operation, such as MODIFY.

Action: Make sure that MOVE is the only operation specified in ALTER TABLE statement.


ORA-14134 indexes cannot use both DESC and REVERSE

Cause: An attempt was made to make a reverse index with some index columns marked DESC.

Action: Do not use DESC in reverse indexes. The rule-based optimizer can scan indexes backwards, which allows a normal reverse index to simulate a reverse index with columns marked DESC.


ORA-14135 a LOB column cannot serve as a partitioning column

Cause: An attempt was made to specify a column of type BLOB or CLOB as a partitioning or subpartitioning column.

Action: Ensure that no partitioning or subpartitioning column is of type BLOB or CLOB.


ORA-14136 ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE restricted by fine-grained security

Cause: User doing exchange does not have full table access due to VPD policies.

Action: Grant exempt priviliges to this user.


ORA-14150 missing SUBPARTITION keyword

Cause: Keyword SUBPARTITION missing.

Action: Supply the missing parameter.


ORA-14151 invalid table partitioning method

Cause: Invalid partitioning method was specified in CREATE TABLE statement. A table may be partitioned by RANGE, HASH, or composite range/hash (R+H).

Action: Specify one of valid partitioning methods.


ORA-14152 invalid number of partitions specified in PARTITIONS clause

Cause: number-of-partitions clause contained in CREATE TABLE or CREATE INDEX statement specified a number of partitions outside of legal range (1-65535).

Action: Specify a number between 1 and 65535 in the number-of-partitions clause.


ORA-14153 only one of STORE IN or partition_description clause may be specified

Cause: Both STORE IN and partition_description clauses were specified in a CREATE TABLE|INDEX command.

Action: Remove one of offending clauses.


ORA-14154 only one of STORE IN or subpartition_description clause may be specified

Cause: Both STORE IN and subpartition_description clauses were specified in a CREATE TABLE|INDEX, or ALTER TABLE ADD|SPLIT PARTITION or ALTER TABLE MERGE PARTITIONS command for a composite range-partitioned object.

Action: Remove one of offending clauses.


ORA-14155 missing PARTITION or SUBPARTITION keyword

Cause: Expected either the PARTITION or SUBPARTITION keyword but neither was supplied.

Action: Supply the missing keyword.


ORA-14156 invalid number of subpartitions specified in [SUBPARTITIONS | SUBPARTITION TEMPLATE] clause

Cause: Number-of-subpartitions clause contained in CREATE TABLE or CREATE INDEX statement specified a number of subpartitions outside of legal range (1-65535).

ORA-14163 subpartition number string: INITRANS value must be less than MAXTRANS value

Cause: The value of INITRANS was found to be greater than that of MAXTRANS for a subpartition whose number (subpartitions are numbered starting with 1) is displayed in this message. Note that if INITRANS and/or MAXTRANS values for this subpartition were not specified explicitly, default values at partition-level would be used. If, in turn, default INITRANS and/or MAXTRANS values at partition-level were not specified, default values for the partitioned table or index would be used. If those values were also not specified explicitly, system defaults would be used.

Action: Ensure that value of INITRANS (whether specified explicitly or derived from the default value at partition-level, table-level or index-level) is no greater than that of MAXTRANS.


ORA-14164 subpartition "string": INITRANS value must be less than MAXTRANS value

Cause: The value of INITRANS was found to be greater than that of MAXTRANS for a subpartition whose name (explicitly specified by the user) is displayed in this message. Note that if INITRANS and/or MAXTRANS values for this subpartition were not specified explicitly, default values at partition-level would be used. If, in turn, default INITRANS and/or MAXTRANS values at partition-level were not specified, default values for the partitioned table or index would be used. If those values were also not specified explicitly, system defaults would be used.

Action: Ensure that value of INITRANS (whether specified explicitly or derived from the default value at partition-level, table-level or index-level) is no greater than that of MAXTRANS.


ORA-14165 MODIFY DEFAULT ATTRIBUTES FOR PARTITION may not be combined with other operations

Cause: An ALTER TABLE or ALTER INDEX statement attempted to combine MODIFY DEFAULT ATTRIBUTES OF PARTITION with some other operation (for example, ADD PARTITION or PCTFREE) which is illegal.

Action: Ensure that MODIFY DEFAULT ATTRIBUTES is the sole operation specified in ALTER TABLE or ALTER INDEX statement; operations other than those dealing with partitions, default attributes of partitioned tables/indices or specifying that a table be renamed (ALTER TABLE RENAME) may be combined at will.


ORA-14166 missing INTO keyword

Cause: Keyword INTO missing.

Action: Supply the missing keyword.


ORA-14167 only one subpartition may be moved

Cause: ALTER TABLE MOVE SUBPARTITION contained descriptions of more than one subpartition to be moved.

Cause: The Data Guard broker returns this error when the object identifier specified in the request is invalid or unknown. For example, this error is returned if an invalid or unknown site object identifier is specified in a request that requires a site object identifier.

Action: Verify that a valid object identifier was specified in the request and then re-issue the request.


ORA-16618 response document of size "string" bytes is too large

Cause: The document response cannot be returned because the size of the document is too large. This can occur when displaying the Data Guard console log.

Action: View the console log on the given site directly.


ORA-16619 Health Check timed out

Cause: This status is returned when the Data Guard broker could not reach a standby site during routine health check.

Action: This typically indicates a network problem where the standby site is unable to respond to the primary within the predefined time frame.


ORA-16620 one or more sites could not be contacted for a delete operation

Cause: This status is returned when the Data Guard broker could not reach one or more standby sites for either a delete site or a delete configuration operation.

Action: This typically indicates a network problem where the standby site is unable to respond to the primary. In the event of this situation, examine the Data Guard broker log file on the primary site to determine which standby sites could not be reached. Then for each standby site not reached, connect to that site and shut down the broker by setting the DG_BROKER_START initialization parameter to false. After the broker has been shut down on the standby site, locate the Data Guard broker configuration files from the standby site's DG_BROKER_CONFIG_FILE[1 | 2] parameter values and delete them.


ORA-16621 host and SID names for create site must be unique

Cause: This status is returned when an attempt is made to add a site whose host and SID names match those of an existing site.

Action: Verify that you have specified a unique host and SID name pair for the new site you wish to add. This can be done by checking that there are no sites with the same host and SID names.


ORA-16622 two or more Broker sites resolve to the same physical site

Cause: This status is returned when the Broker determines that there are multiple site objects referring to the same physical or material site.

Action: Examine the host names, SID names, and connect descriptors of all sites in the configuration and verify that there are not two or more sites that refer to the same physical site. If you detect this situation, then correct the site definition to eliminate the ambiguity.


ORA-16623 stale DRC UID sequence number detected

Cause: This status is returned when the Broker detects a stale sequence value during bootstrap or during health check. The sequence value is changed each time a role change occurs. A site that is unavailable for the role change operation will end up with a stale sequence number. Should that site attempt to rejoin the configuration, the broker will determine that it missed a role change and disable that site. The broker permanently disables the site since it may no longer be a viable standby site for the new primary.

Action: Examine the configuration and the sites that were permanently disabled to determine if they require manual intervention.


ORA-16624 broker protocol version mismatch detected

Cause: This status is returned when the Broker detects a network protocol version number mismatch. This can happen if the sites in question are not running the same release of Oracle. The broker will permanently disable the sites that do not have the same network protocol version number as the primary.

Action: Examine the release of Oracle installed on all sites to make sure they are identical. Once the Oracle releases are the same on all sites, delete and re-add the sites that were permanently disabled.


ORA-16625 cannot reach the primary site

Cause: This status is returned when the Broker rejects a write operation requested by the client when the primary site is not reachable from the site the request is made. All write operations made to the DataGuard configuration must be processed by the primary site.

Action: Check your network connection from the site your client is connected to, to the primary site. Alternatively, you can connect your client to a different site in the DataGuard Configuration and try your request again.


ORA-16626 failed to enable specified object

Cause: This status is returned when the broker fails to enable an object (most typically a standby site). You can expect to see this status when attempting to enable a standby site that:

  • Cannot locate itself in the configuration
  • Fails to distiguish itself from two or more site objects in the configuration
  • Determines it was not part of a change of primary due to failover

Action: To correct the problem, try one of these actions:

  • Confirm that the host and SID names you specified when you created the site exactly match the values in the HOST_NAME and INSTANCE_NAME columns of V$INSTANCE.
  • Confirm that you have not created two or more sites with the same connect descriptor. That is, the site objects should not lead you to the same material site.
  • If you had performed a failover and have re-instantiated your old primary site (or standby site that had to be reinstantiated), then make sure the Data Guard Broker configuration files have been removed from that site. Do NOT remove the configuration files that are in use by the new primary.

ORA-16627 no standby databases support overall protection mode

Cause: This status is returned in the following situations:

  • The Broker rejects an attempt to change the configuration's overall protection mode since it could not find any online, managed standby databases that support the proposed protection mode.
  • The Broker rejects an attempt to enable the configuration if it determines that there are no online managed standby databases that support the overall protection mode.
  • The Broker rejects an attempt to disable or delete a site or database resource, that if disabled or deleted, would result in no standby databases that support the configuration's overall protection mode.
  • The Broker rejects an attempt to set the configuration offline if doing so would violate the configuration's overall protection mode.
  • The Broker rejects an attempt to set a standby site or database offline if doing so would violate the configuration's overall protection mode.
  • The Broker rejects a switchover attempt if doing so would violate the configuration's overall protection mode.
  • The Broker returns this error during a health check.

Action:

  • If changing the overall protection mode, then confirm that at least one standby database satisfies the new protection mode.
  • For enable failures, confirm that at least one standby database has a LogXptMode configuration property setting that supports the current overall protection mode.
  • For delete and disable failures, confirm that at least one other standby database has a LogXptMode configuration property setting that supports the overall protection mode.
  • For the state change failures, confirm that at least one other standby database has a LogXptMode configuration property setting that supports the overall protection mode. If setting the configuration OFFLINE, you may have to downgrade the protection mode setting to maximum performance beforehand.
  • For switchover failures, confirm that at least one other standby database has a LogXptMode configuration property setting that supports the overall protection mode. If your configuration contains a primary and a single standby, then ensure that the LogXptMode configuration property established for the primary site supports the overall protection mode. After the switchover the old primary will become the standby and its LogXptMode configuration property setting must support the overall protection mode.
  • For health check error, confirm that at least one standby database has a LogXptMode configuration property setting that supports the current overall protection mode.

ORA-16628 The Broker protection mode is inconsistent with the database setting

Cause: The Data Guard Broker protection mode saved in metadata is inconsistent with the actual database setting.

Action: Reset the protection mode through the Data Guard Broker.


ORA-16629 database reports a different protection level from the protection mode

Cause: The actual protection level supported by the standby database is different from the protection mode set on the primary. This is likely caused by the log transport problems.

Action: Check the database alert logs and Data Guard Broker console logs for more details. Check the log transport status. Make sure at least one standby log transport is supporting the protection mode and that the network to the standby has no problems.

Action: Issue the ALTER DATABASE GUARD NONE statement to turn the guard OFF and verify that Data Guard health check error/warning is cleared.


ORA-16795 Database resource guard detects that database reinstantiation is required

Cause: In the act of failover or switchover, the database resource guard may detect that reinstantiation of the database is necessary due to the impending role change. This occurs when the database resource guard recognizes a situation in which the database in question cannot be a viable standby database for the new primary database.

Action: Reinstantiate the database on the site indicated by the broker and then re-add that site to your broker configuration.


ORA-16796 One or more property cannot be imported from database

Cause: Importing existing database settings into the Data Guard properties failed for one or more properties. The cause may be that the database is not mounted or open, or the connection to the standby database being imported is down.

Action: Check the Data Guard console log to find more details about the problem.


ORA-16797 SPFILE is missing in the Data Guard Broker environment

Cause: Server parameter file is not being used in the database, or the resource guard failed to retrieve the status of the SPFILE.

Action: Issue a CREATE SPFILE='...' FROM PFILE='...' statement to create an SPFILE, and restart the database to use the SPFILE.


ORA-16798 Unable to complete terminal recovery on the standby

Cause: Terminal recovery on the standby failed during the graceful failover operation.

Action: Check Data Guard console log and alert logs to see more details on the reason of the failure.


ORA-16799 Physical apply service is offline

Cause: Either the Data Guard metadata indicates the physical apply service is turned off, or the recovery process MRP0 is not running. In either of the cases, physical apply related properties cannot be set.

Action: Turn on the physical apply service through Data Guard broker, then reset the physical apply related property again.


ORA-16800 Log transport service for some site is incorrectly set to ALTERNATE

Cause: Log transport service for some site is currently set to ALTERNATE while no other destinations is set to alternate to this site.

Action: Check the Data Guard console log for further details. Reset database state to turn on log transport again if necessary.


ORA-16801 Some log transport related property is inconsistent

Cause: The values of one or more log transport related configurable properties of a standby database resource are inconsistent with the primary's log transport service settings. This may be caused by a user operation on database outside of the Data Guard broker control.

Action: Query property InconsistentLogXptProps on the primary or Check the Data Guard console log to find which properties are inconsistent. Reset these properties on the appropriate standby to make them consistent with the primary's log transport settings.


ORA-16802 Cannot set property 'Alternate' to the primary site name

Cause: Data Guard Broker does not allow the primary site to be an alternate archival destination for a standby site.

Action: Set property Alternate to empty or to the name of a standby site.


ORA-16803 Unable to query a database table or fixed view

Cause: Failed to query a database table or fixed view. The database may not be open or mounted.

Action: Check Data Guard console log for more details.


ORA-16804 One or more configuration properties in metadata have invalid values

Cause: Data Guard Broker health check detects that one or more configuration properties in metadata have invalid values. They may be entered during the disabled period of database resource or through other means.

Action: Check Data Guard console log for more details on which properties have invalid values and reset them through Data Guard Broker.


ORA-16805 Change of LogXptMode property violates overall protection mode

Cause: The standby database resource guard rejected the attempt to change the LogXptMode configuration property for the standby database resource. The rejection was necessary since doing so would violate the overall protection mode for the configuration.

Action: If the LogXptMode configuration property must be changed for the specified standby database resource, then first downgrade the overall protection mode for the configuration. After that operation has completed, you will be able to change the LogXptMode configuration property for the standby database resource.


ORA-16806 Supplemental logging is not turned on

Cause: Supplemental logging is not turned on while there is a logical standby database in the configuration. This could happen either6854// on the primary or on the logical standby that is being switched over to the primary.

Action: Check Data Guard console log for more details. Issue ALTER DATABASE ADD SUPPLEMENTAL LOG DATA (PRIMARY KEY, UNIQUE INDEX) COLUMNS to add supplemental logging.
