• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_HANA_ADMIN113 - Cannot compile inlist query from data: Bracket error ?

  The SAP error message ESH_HANA_ADMIN113 with the description "Cannot compile inlist query from data: Bracket error" typically occurs in the context of SAP HANA when there is an issue with the syntax of an SQL query, particularly when using an IN clause with a list of values. This error suggests that there is a problem with the way the brackets or parentheses are used in the query.
  Causes:
  
  Mismatched Parentheses: There may be an imbalance in the number of opening and closing parentheses in the SQL query.
  Incorrect Syntax: The structure of the IN clause may not be correctly formed, such as missing commas or incorrect data types.
  Empty List: If the IN clause is provided with an empty list, it can lead to this error.
  Data Type Mismatch: The values provided in the IN clause may not match the expected data type of the column being queried.
  Special Characters: If the values in the IN clause contain special characters that are not properly escaped, it can lead to syntax errors.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Parentheses: Review the SQL query for any mismatched or incorrectly placed parentheses. Ensure that every opening parenthesis has a corresponding closing parenthesis.
  Validate Syntax: Ensure that the syntax of the IN clause is correct. For example:
  SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name IN (value1, value2, value3);
  Make sure that the values are properly formatted and separated by commas.
  
  Avoid Empty Lists: Ensure that the IN clause is not being passed an empty list. If the list is dynamically generated, add checks to prevent this.
  Check Data Types: Verify that the values in the IN clause match the data type of the column being queried. For example, if the column is of type INTEGER, ensure that the values are integers.
  Escape Special Characters: If the values contain special characters, ensure they are properly escaped according to SQL standards.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP HANA Documentation: Refer to the official SAP HANA documentation for guidelines on writing SQL queries and understanding error messages.
  SQL Syntax Reference: Familiarize yourself with SQL syntax, especially regarding the use of the IN clause and parentheses.
