Hi,

I'm getting this error

command="dbquery", A database error occurred: ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement

I have connected my oracle DB to Splunk Using "DB Connections in Splunk Manager"

My Java Bridge Server is Running

Under "Explore DB Schema",I'm able to view the table Names & their attributes under "DB Info".

But when i Use the Select Statement under "DB Query" I'm getting the above error.
the query that i used is

| dbquery "DB___NAME" "SELECT * FROM TABLE-NAME" LIMIT=100

I haven't yet configured the ADD DB Inputs(DB Inputs in SplunkManager)

Any Help is Appreciated

Thanks.

Did you try Select TOP 1000 * FROM TABLE-NAME

I figured it by reading few other posts Under "DB Query" no need of using below query it gives an error the

| dbquery "DB___NAME" "SELECT * FROM TABLE-NAME" LIMIT=100

Just SELECT * FROm TABLE-NAME will work

Simple Select stmt will work under DB-Query.

Seems like query is wrong

| dbquery "DB___NAME" "SELECT * FROM TABLE-NAME Limit 100"

| dbquery "DB___NAME" "SELECT * FROM TABLE-NAME" LIMIT=1000

harshavrath, sorry for the delay. I'm not using dbx anymore, so I can't do any testing. But, you do not need to create database inputs to run database queries. So long as you have established the database connection in database connections you should be good.

The error you're getting specifically says you have an sql problem, and I'm not a real big sql dude. If the query works on the database server, then it should work in dbx query.

When I enter queries in dbx db query they look a lot simpler:
SELECT * FROM TABLE-NAME
For testing, I'd use the default limit of 1000.
