ORA-00911: invalid character xsql error

Question

I m using sql query in the xsql file but I have ORA-00911: invalid character error. Same query is working directly on the database.

My index.xsql:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2" ?>
<page connection="labor" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
    <xsql:query>
            SELECT id, iata_dep, iata_arr FROM route JOIN flight ON route.route_id=flight.route_id
    </xsql:query>
</page>

My browser result:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-2" ?>
<page connection="labor" xmlns:xsql="urn:oracle-xsql">
    <xsql:query>
            SELECT id, iata_dep, iata_arr FROM route JOIN flight ON route.route_id=flight.route_id
    </xsql:query>
</page>

Where is the character problem? Thanks,

"SELECT * FROM flight" is working without any problem. – thatway_3 May 08 '14 at 15:56 — thatway_3, May 08 '14 at 15:56

There are several problems that can cause such behavior :

This error occurs when you try to use a special character in a SQL statement. If a special character other than $, _, and # is used in the name of a column or table, the name must be enclosed in double quotations.
This error may occur if you've pasted your SQL into your editor from another program. Sometimes there are non-printable characters that may be present. In this case, you should try retyping your SQL statement and then re-execute it.
This error occurs when a special character is used in a SQL WHERE clause and the value is not enclosed in single quotations.

I followed that but problem is same. – thatway_3 May 08 '14 at 15:55
Why would either of those cause an ORA-00911? – Alex Poole May 08 '14 at 16:32
