db connect query

Hi,

I'm trying to execute the following query, and it keeps getting rejected with "command="dbquery", A database error occurred: ORA-00911: invalid character". If I try it without the ending semi-colon, I get command="dbquery", A database error occurred: ORA-00904: "HD"."s Activity": invalid identifier ".

Any suggestions? I don't want to grab the whole table, as there are a lot of useless columns.

SELECT hd.TIMEFRAME ,
hd.MA_ID ,
hd.ORIGINATING_PATH_INDEX ,
hd.AVERAGE ,
hd.VARIANCE ,
hd.VALUE_COUNT ,
hd.MAXIMUM ,
hd.STATUS_COUNT_NORMAL ,
hd.STATUS_COUNT_MINOR ,
hd.STATUS_COUNT_MAJOR ,
hd.STATUS_COUNT_CRITICAL ,
hd.PROFILE_STATUS_COUNT_NORMAL ,
hd.PROFILE_STATUS_COUNT_MINOR ,
hd.PROFILE_STATUS_COUNT_MAJOR ,
hd.PROFILE_STATUS_COUNT_CRITICAL ,
hd.THRESH_STATUS_COUNT_NORMAL ,
hd.THRESH_STATUS_COUNT_MINOR ,
hd.THRESH_STATUS_COUNT_MAJOR ,
hd.THRESH_STATUS_COUNT_CRITICAL ,
hd.Measurement ,
hd."g Measurement Type" ,
hd."s Measurement Type",
hd."g Application" ,
hd."s Application",
hd."g Activity" ,
hd."s Activity"
FROM ATERNITY.HISTORICAL_DATA_VW_1

just a thought -- the database table alias name hd is not in the example ATERNITY.HISTORICAL_DATA_VW_1 hd

This would be my guess. Also I'm finding out that you need to escape the quotes that you use with a column alias.

Does the query get executed successfully outside of Splunk, say using an Oracle client?
