Hi,
I have a SQL script which contain SQL statements very similar to the example below that create and modify a number of tables. The SQL statement below is giving me a problem.
CREATE TABLE meta_packet
(
id NUMBER, s9_pkt_id NUMBER(20), ts TIMESTAMP(9), inbound NUMBER(1), ether_type NUMBER(5), ip_proto NUMBER(3), accept NUMBER(3), mac_pair_id NUMBER, ether_body_id NUMBER, ip_body_id NUMBER, conv_pair_id NUMBER, payload_id NUMBER
CONSTRAINT meta_packet_pk PRIMARY KEY (id), CONSTRAINT mac_pair_fk FOREIGN KEY (mac_pair_id) REFERENCES mac_addr_pair (id), CONSTRAINT payload_fk FOREIGN KEY (payload_id) REFERENCES payload (id)
Specifically, the problem is in the "ALTER TABLE meta_packet ADD" portion of this statement. When I execute the ALTER TABLE portion of the above statement from the SQL> prompt as follows, I am getting this error:
SQL> ALTER TABLE meta_packet ADD
2 (
3 CONSTRAINT meta_packet_pk PRIMARY KEY (id),
4 CONSTRAINT mac_pair_fk FOREIGN KEY (mac_pair_id)
5 REFERENCES mac_addr_pair (id),
6 CONSTRAINT payload_fk FOREIGN KEY (payload_id)
7 REFERENCES payload (id)
8 USING INDEX TABLESPACE indx);
USING INDEX TABLESPACE indx)
*
ERROR at line 8:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
Is there a syntax problem, are there too many CONSTRAINT/REFERENCES statements or are the CONSTRAINT/REFERENCES statements in the wrong order? I am at a loss to understand the problem. Any ideas?
