Error was: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00902: invalid datatype

Cause

JIRA is connecting to the Oracle database but the field-type of database in the /edit-webapp/WEB-INF/classes/entityengine.xml is configured with a different database type.

This causes JIRA to create columns in the database with incorrect Oracle data type.

Resolution

Modify the field-type to the corresponding database in the entityengine.xml datasource. You will need to update this tag for your installation:

  <datasource name="defaultDS" field-type-name="oracle10g"
