How to resolve ORA 00936 Missing Expression Error?

ora-00936, oracle, oracle10g

Solution

Remove the comma?

select /*+USE_HASH( a b ) */ to_char(date, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') as LABEL,
ltrim(rtrim(substr(oled, 9, 16))) as VALUE
from rrfh a, rrf b
where ltrim(rtrim(substr(oled, 1, 9))) = 'stata kish' 
and a.xyz = b.xyz

Have a look at FROM

SELECTING from multiple tables You can include multiple tables in the FROM clause by listing the tables with a comma in between each table name

Problem

``` Select /*+USE_HASH( a b ) */ to_char(date, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') as LABEL, ltrim(rtrim(substr(oled, 9, 16))) as VALUE, from rrfh a, rrf b, where ltrim(rtrim(substr(oled, 1, 9))) = 'stata kish' and a.xyz = b.xyz ``` The "from " (3rd line) part of the above query is giving me `ORA-00936 Missing EXPRESSION error`. Please Help me NOTE :: rrfh table contains no data.
