Answer / welcomeashwin

ORA-00909 invalid number of arguments

Cause: An Oracle function was referenced with an incorrect
number of arguments. All Oracle functions, except for
SYSDATE, require at least one argument.

Action: Correct the syntax of the function by entering the
required number of arguments.
