Im having an issue with DTS and I dont know if anyone else has
experienced this...In my transformation I have a sql statement that
executes against oracle..in it I'm selecting COUNT(DISTINCT
I.PX_INVOICE_ID) ...however when the DTS package executes I get an
error stating that "DISTINCTI"."PX_INVOICE_ID" is an invalid
identifier..why is it concatenting this?

Thanks

Jim

It isn't Oracle ... so what version, what connection driver, etc?

But do you really have a schema named "I"? Seems strange.

I agree with Daniel that this is most likely a client driver issue. I
haven't run into the problem myself but I've only run only simple SQL
statements using the Oracle drives. Can you post the full SQL statement?

You might quoting the identifiers as a possible workaround. For example:

SELECT COUNT("I"."PX_INVOICE_ID")
FROM "MYSCHEMA"."INVOICES" I;

It appears to be with the OLE data provider...when upgrading it to 10
it worked..also the ODBC driver for Oracle worked....really weird
