    Hi @Anonymous ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A platform and thanks for posting your questions.

    As I understand your query, you are trying to copy data from Oracle on premise to Azure datalake storage. However, you are getting the above stated error and are looking for the mitigation. Please let me know if my understanding is incorrect.

    The ORA-01722 message is a fairly typical error in Oracle. It is an “invalid number” error, occurring during a failure when converting a character string to a valid number. While this type of error can be an easy fix, it can be caused by a multitude of numerical mistakes.

    • The first step in resolving this error is first keeping in mind what a valid number in Oracle represents. Valid numbers will contain the digits zero through nine, and can contain specific characters such as +/- at the beginning or end of the string, a single decimal point or an ‘E’ (upper or lower case) for floating point numbers in scientific notation. You should double check the character strings in the expression in question to make sure that the numbers follow these precise rules.
    • There are ways to fix this problem, with the first looking at an “INSERT INTO… VALUES (…)” attempt. Go through the steps above; check the data you are entering to make sure the numerical values are in line, and correct any that are invalid. In the event that all of the numbers are valid, the error possibly occurred from your columns being out of order (resulting in a VALUES string being placed into a NUMBER column, often deriving from removing or adding columns to a table).

    Hope this will help. Please let us know if any further queries.
