Is it possible to include multiple SQL-Statements in one query (ORACLE)?

[soptim_vond]

Hi folks,

usually, working with an oracle database in a standard SQL-editor multiple sql-statements can be entered in one query separated by a semicolon. However, when I try to do that in Power BI, I always get the following error:

ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended

Is there a way to get around this?

Separating the two statements is not an option because the order in which they are processed matters and manipulating query order in Power BI is tricky...

Thanks in advance,

Nico

Hi soptim_vond,

It seems that your query has ended up with the incorrect syntax.

Please go through the below URL.

Hi Pradeep,

thanks for reply, but the syntax is correct. The statement containing the two substatements separated by a semicolon works fine in a standard SQL-editor. And both substatements work in power bi as well, as long as I put them in seprate queries. Things go wrong as soon as I use a semicolon to separate the two statements.

Hi Nico,

Can you just send me that query?

Because, Power BI will not support ;(semicolon) in SQL Editor. You need to have oracle connector to establish the connection with Oracle DB.

If you are using SQL Editor for your Oracle query, then it is wrong.

Or, you can split these two tables and make relations in the data model and then move to further development.

Hi Pradeep,

I´m not sure I get the part about the oracle connector, but here´s my m code from the advanced editor:

let

Quelle = Oracle.Database("se.trunk", [Query="
DELETE
FROM PMS_OWNER.VB_LIM_TB_REPORT_TEMPDATA RTDB
WHERE rtdb.RTDB_CLIENT = SYS$UTIL.machine || SYS$UTIL.osuser;
insert into lim_owner.tb_report_tempdata
(rtdb_client, rtdb_item, rtdb_value_number, rtdb_value_string, rtdb_value_datum, rtdb_produkt)
values
(SYS$UTIL.machine || SYS$UTIL.osuser, 'MND', 62, NULL, NULL, 'PMS')
", HierarchicalNavigation=true])

in
Quelle

(I know using transactional SQL is not recommended... :))

Hi @soptim_vond @Anonymous ,

This is not working for me.

let
Source = Oracle.Database("hyd1225d.india", [Query="select * from APG0_BANK_ACCOUNTS;select * from APG0_CHECKS",HierarchicalNavigation=true])
in
Source

It's throwing error like DataSource.Error: Oracle: ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended.

can you please help me.

Thanks,

Rajyalakshmi.
