Error ORA-00936 when using Parameters

[tobit800]

Hi Mitharandyr.

I have tried to use Invoke-SqlUpdate with -Parameters to insert into an Oracle-DB.
I always get the exception ORA-00936. Is there a problem with the Parameters-Option?
Thanks a lot!
Tobias

@tobit800 sorry for the delay in getting back to you -- I am not aware of any issues. Can you include exact code your are using that is causing problems?

I am getting the same issue. Here is my code snippet:

$sql = "INSERT INTO DB.TABLE(event_id,app_id,app_name,user_id,upn) VALUES ('@event_id','@app_id','@app_name','@user_id','@upn')"                                  
$newEvent = @{                                                                                                                                     
    event_id="test_event_1"
    app_id="test_app_id_1"
    app_name="Test App"
    user_id="test_user_id_1"
    upn="bob@organization.com"
    }

Invoke-SqlUpdate $sql -Parameters $newEvent

I always get this error, but only when passing parameters. I've tried piping the object in directly:

$newEvent | Invoke-SqlUpdate $sql

Creating a new object as a parameter:

$sql = "INSERT INTO DB.TABLE(event_id,app_id,app_name,user_id,upn) VALUES (@eid, @aid, @an, @uid, @upn)"
$newEvent = @{                                                                                                                                     
    event_id="test_event_1"
    app_id="test_app_id_1"
    app_name="Test App"
    user_id="test_user_id_1"
    upn="bob@organization.com"
    }

Invoke-SqlUpdate $sql -Parameters @{eid=$newEvent.event_id; aid=$newEvent.app_id; an=$newEvent.app_name; uid=$newEvent.user_id; upn=$newEvent.upn}

But neither has helped. Every scenario I've tried ends in:

Invoke-SqlUpdate: ORA-00936: missing expression

The only inserts I've been able to do successfully are when I add the values directly to the query:

$sql = "INSERT INTO DB.TABLE(event_id,app_id,app_name,user_id,upn) VALUES ('test_event_1','test_app_id_1','Test App','test_user_id_1','bob@organization.com')" 

Invoke-SqlUpdate $sql

I've tested on Windows and Linux.

@darthcircuit -- for Oracle, you have to prefix your variables with ":" instead of "@". so

$sql = "INSERT INTO DB.TABLE(event_id,app_id,app_name,user_id,upn) VALUES (:event_id, :app_id, :app_name, :user_id, :upn)"                                  
$newEvent = @{                                                                                                                                     
    event_id="test_event_1"
    app_id="test_app_id_1"
    app_name="Test App"
    user_id="test_user_id_1"
    upn="bob@organization.com"
    }

Invoke-SqlUpdate $sql -Parameters $newEvent
