Content deployer error when publishing to Oracle broker db

Question

I'm getting an error when trying to deploy content to an oracle broker database (I'm running Tridion 2011 sp1). I've had a search on the SDL Tridion forum and cannot find anyone that's had the same issue.

The error message in the cme is:

Committing Deployment Failed
 Phase: Deployment Prepare Commit Phase failed, Unable to prepare transaction: tcm:0-55-66560,
 org.hibernate.exception.SQLGrammarException: could not execute query,

  tcm:0-55-66560, org.hibernate.exception.SQLGrammarException: could not execute query, 
  org.hibernate.exception.SQLGrammarException: could not execute query

And in the deployer logs i get the following:

2012-02-24 15:07:27,866 WARN  DeployPipelineExecutor - Phase: Deployment Prepare Commit Phase failure message: Unable to prepare transaction: tcm:0-55-66560, org.hibernate.exception.SQLGrammarException: could not execute query, org.hibernate.exception.SQLGrammarException: could not execute query for transaction: tcm:0-55-66560

EDIT:

Here is the node from the cd_storage_conf.xml file:

<Storages>
    <Storage Type="persistence" Id="ddeploy" dialect="ORACLESQL" Class="com.tridion.storage.persistence.JPADAOFactory">

            <DataSource Class="oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource">

                <Property Name="user" Value="secret"/>
                <Property Name="password" Value="secret"/>
            </DataSource>
    </Storage> 

    <Storage Type="filesystem" Class="com.tridion.storage.filesystem.FSDAOFactory" Id="defaultFile" defaultFilesystem="false">
        <Root Path="/htdocs/en_US/" />
    </Storage>

    <Storage Type="filesystem" Class="com.tridion.storage.filesystem.FSDAOFactory" Id="defaultDataFile" defaultFilesystem="true" defaultStorage="true">
        <Root Path="/htdocs/en_US/data" />
    </Storage>
</Storages>

And the item types

<ItemTypes defaultStorageId="ddeploy" cached="false">
    <Item typeMapping="Page" cached="false" storageId="defaultFile"/>
    <Item typeMapping="Binary" cached="false" storageId="defaultFile"/>
</ItemTypes>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

Doh! - I can confirm the issue here was that the oracle database user did not have access to the correct schema.

Still if anyone searches here for the same issue, they'll know the correct place to look :)

Answer 2

The error message indicates that the SQL query generated by hibernate doesn't execute properly on your database. Can you double check your storage config (perhaps post the <Storage/> element here. In particular, can you check that the dialect attribute is correct.
