I have the following oracle query. When I try to execute this query it throws the error- ORA-00907 missing right parenthesis. I am sure about all the open braces are closed. I think the problem with is COALESCE function otherwise the query works fine. Any work arounds?

SQL

Select * From A

AND (('1-Nov-2010' between OM_MERCH_CUST.MC_FM_DT AND coalesce (OM_MERCH_CUST.MC_TO_DT,sysdate()))

OR('30-Nov-2010' between OM_MERCH_CUST.MC_FM_DT AND coalesce (OM_MERCH_CUST.MC_TO_DT,sysdate())));

Re-formatting your statement so braces are aligned:

SQL

Select * From A
AND 
  (
    (
      '1-Nov-2010' between OM_MERCH_CUST.MC_FM_DT AND coalesce 
      (
        OM_MERCH_CUST.MC_TO_DT,sysdate
        (
        )
      )
    )
  OR
    (
      '30-Nov-2010' between OM_MERCH_CUST.MC_FM_DT AND coalesce 
      (
        OM_MERCH_CUST.MC_TO_DT,sysdate
        (
        )
      )
    )
  );

You have the right number of braces, but did you mean to have the OR clause within the AND?
