Strange error trying to import with Ora2PG

I am trying to import an oracle schema with ora2pg and running into an odd error when the import_all.sh script gets to a specific view.

The error is:

psql:schema/views/RESERVER_VISIBLE_RESTRICTION_view.sql:10: ERROR: operator does not exist: character = integer
LINE 1: ...r.resource_id = rg.resource_id and r.requester_vis_only = 1;

A simple enough fix; Oracle happily accepts a number-like string as a number, and Postgres wants a string delimited, so I went into the ./sources/views folder and edited the view creation to add the required single quotes:

-- Generated by Ora2Pg, the Oracle database Schema converter, version 24.0

-- DATASOURCE: dbi:Oracle:host=dhboracle2.pharmacy.arizona.edu<http://dhboracle2.pharmacy.arizona.edu&gt;;sid=phmweb2;port=1521

SET client_encoding TO 'UTF8';

SET search_path = calendar3,oracle,public;
\set ON_ERROR_STOP ON

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW reserver_visible_restriction (resource_id, resourcegroup_id, affil_id) AS select r.resource_id, rg.resourcegroup_id, a.affil_id FROM resources r, resourcegroupaffil rg, resourceaffil a where r.resource_id = a.resource_id and r.resource_id = rg.resource_id and r.requester_vis_only = '1’;

I tested the view creation with that code interactively, and it worked.

However when I re-run the import_all.sh script it errors out at the same place with the same error (in fact the pasted error code is from running the script AFTER I fixed it). The sql isn’t being cached anywhere in the system is it?

I know that I modified the correct file.

It happens even if I drop the database and recreate it.

I'm betting that every time you run import_all.sh it rewrites the
scripts. Pretty sure if you look at the file the creation script will
have been rewritten to its original from.

Re: [EXT]Re: Strange error trying to import with Ora2PG

That’s not it. export_schema.sh writes the scripts, and then emits a ora2pg command to pull in the data (I've managed to do this a dozen times so far working out how to do things. :-)

The dates on the files in the sources directory are consistent with that, and don’t change when I run the script.

Alright.

In your previous post you said "I tested the view creation with that
code interactively, and it worked."

Does that mean you ran:

CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW reserver_visible_restriction (resource_id,
resourcegroup_id, affil_id) AS select r.resource_id,
rg.resourcegroup_id, a.affil_id FROM resources r, resourcegroupaffil rg,
resourceaffil a where r.resource_id = a.resource_id and r.resource_id =
rg.resource_id and r.requester_vis_only = '1’;

in a psql session by itself?

What happens if you do?:

psql ... -f RESERVER_VISIBLE_RESTRICTION_view.sql

When you run the import_all.sh does it show where it is pulling the
scripts from?

If you search the source file directory for
"reserver_visible_restriction" is there another file that contains it?

Sigh…that was it…Thank you.

There are two ‘views’ directories, one under ’sources/views’ and the other under /schema/views. Clearly the script is running the other one.
