delete z-table from work_area .
endloop.
but i am unable to delete the records from the z-table .
could you please look into this.
Thanks,

hi suresh,
<b>DELETE dbtab FROM wa.</b>
After the statement is executed, the sytem field SY-DBCNT contains the number of lines that were deleted (0 or 1).
The Return Code is set as follows:
SY-SUBRC = 0:
The line was deleted.
SY-SUBRC = 4:
No line could be deleted since there was no line with the primary key specified.
example:
<b>
DATA wa TYPE sbook.
wa-carrid = 'LH'.
wa-connid = '0400'.
wa-fldate = '20010228'.
wa-bookid = '00000003'.
DELETE sbook FROM wa.</b>

You can test this piece of code.
DATA:
i_tab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF mara,
wa_tab TYPE mara.
wa_tab-matnr = '1000'.
APPEND wa_tab TO i_tab.
CLEAR wa_tab.
wa_tab-matnr = '1001'.
APPEND wa_tab TO i_tab.
CLEAR wa_tab.
wa_tab-matnr = '1002'.
APPEND wa_tab TO i_tab.
CLEAR wa_tab.
wa_tab-matnr = '1003'.
APPEND wa_tab TO i_tab.
CLEAR wa_tab.
wa_tab-matnr = '2001'.
APPEND wa_tab TO i_tab.
CLEAR wa_tab.
wa_tab-matnr = '3001'.
APPEND wa_tab TO i_tab.
CLEAR wa_tab.
wa_tab-matnr = '4010'.
APPEND wa_tab TO i_tab.
CLEAR wa_tab.

Delete records from multiple table

Hi,
I need to delete records from multiple tables using a single delete statement. Is it possible ? If so please let me know the procedure.
Kindly Help.
Thanks,
Alexander.

Hi Tim,
Syntax of DELETE statement does not allow for multiple tables to be specified in this way. Infact, none of the DMLs allow you to specify table names like this.
Technically, there are other ways of deleting from multiple tables with one statement.
1. "Use a trigger":
What was probably meant by this is that you have a driving-table on which you create a on-delete trigger. In this trigger, you write the logic for deleting from other tables that you want to delete from.
This does mean a one-time effort of writing the trigger. But the actual DML operation of deleting from all the tables would be simply triggered by a delete on driving-table.
2. Dynamic SQL:
Write a PL/SQL code to open a cursor with table-names from which you want the data to be deleted from. In the cursor-for loop, write a dynamic SQL using the table-name to delete from that table.
3. Using Foreign-Key constraint with Cascade-Delete:
This I feel is a more 'cleaner' way of doing this.
Having to delete data from multiple tables means that there is some kind of parent-child relationship between your tables. These relationships can be implemented in database using foreign-key constraints. While creating foreign-key constraint give the 'on delete cascade' clause to ensure that whenever data is deleted from parent-table, its dependent data is deleted from child-table.
Using foreign-key constraint you can create a heirarchy of parent-child relationships and still your DELETE would be simple as you would only have to delete from parent-table.
IMPORTANT: Implementing foreign-key constraints would also impact other DML operations that you should keep in mind.

How to delete records from MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS table

Hello Experts,

NLSRTL Version 3.4.1.0.0 - Production
I am working on Oracle Apps - 11.5.8 version.
I have some doubts in deleting the records from MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS table.
There are few records which have junk characters and currently resides in table.
I need to delete those records.
But as per the approach; we should not delete any data directly from MTL table as it would cause huge impact.
I have followed the below approach; but didnt worked out well.
Script
=======
1)
I have modified the below parameter in the MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_INTERFACE table --> SET_PROCESS_ID =0,TRANSACTION_TYPE ='DELETE',PROCESS_FLAG=1 .
Apart from that; everything remains the same as in MTL_SYSTEM_ITEM table.
2) Called the "Import Items" concurrent program.
It got successfully completed. But record still exists in MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_INTERFACE table
Your help is highly appreciated.

Hi,
You have to use the delete item utility of Oracle Inventory.
Responsibility: Inventory Superuser or similar
Navigation: Items -> Delete Items
Enter a meaningful name in the Group field.
Type - Item
Select the organization you want to delete the item from.
In the details section, enter the items you want to delete.
Once all the items entered, click on the "Chcek Group" button. This will validate whether the items you have entered are eligible to delete (i.e. whether any child record such as transactions exist).
It will submit a concurrent program and once the program finishes you will be able to see the result in the Results tab.
Finally click on the "Delete Group" button to delete the eligible items.
Thanks,
PS.

Maximum Open cursor Exceeded error when deleting records from a table

I have a strange problem.
I have a table EMP_MASTER . Whenever I am trying to delete a record from this table, I am getting Maximum no. of open cursor exceeded error. But this error doesnot come when i delete from any other tables. And no. of open cursor is much lesser than OPEN_CURSOR parameter.
All other tables (around 700) has foreign key constraint to this EMP_MASTER table for created_user paramater.
Is it some thing like, when I am trying to delete a record from EMP_master, implicit cursor opens up and checks all referenced tables. and that limit gets exceeded ?
Please help.
Thanks,
Raj

Is there a limit on which no.of references made to a column ? Because one column in this field, Emp no is being referenced in almost every other table. around 700 tables. Will it have any adverse effect ?That should have nothing to do with your problem directly. Again, those tables could have triggers defined on them and you are leaking cursors in one of those triggers (wild guess).

Deleting Records from Referential Tables

Hi,
Can anyone help me in deleting records from tables in a hierarcial manner. For e.g C refers B and B refers A. I need to delete data from all three tables related to a where clause in A.I tried using User_constraints and User_cons_columns views. But i am not able to find a hierarchial delete statement.
Venkatesh

Did you look into the option of specifying ON DELETE CASCADE for your foreign key constraints. That way, if you delete a
row from the master table Oracle will automatically go and delete the child rows. Take a look at the following script.
Here, when I delete a row from table A for NUM = 1 the child rows from table B (WHERE num = 1) are automatically deleted.
drop table b
drop table a
create table a (num number, name varchar2(40))
create table b (num number, name varchar2(40))
alter table a add constraint pk_a primary key(num)
alter table b add constraint fk_b_num foreign key (num) references a(num) on delete cascade
insert into a values (1, 'Test#1')
insert into a values (2, 'Test#2')
insert into b values (1, 'Referes#1')
insert into b values (2, 'Referes#2')
select * from a
select * from b
delete from a where num = 1
select * from a
select * from b
Sridhar,
Thanks a lot for your help.My exact need was to delete records in 50 tables starting with the key table for a specific condition in the key table.
Assume table A has 100 records,B 200 records,C 150 records,D 400 records, etc
When i want to delete some records in table A, i will not be able to do that as child records exists in table B and this structure will carry on till that last table in my application. How do i delete those specific records

Any way to restore deleted record from VBAP table.

Hi Guru,
Is their any way to restore deleted record from vabp.
Back is taken but , All quality server back is taken, any way to restore only
deleted VBAP data from all Back.
Regards
Durgesh

Hi Sahu ji,
you will not be able to get those records.
Check this : If this issue is in Development than no need to worry.
If in quality and production , then usually a copy of the system is there , and this can help you.
Also , check is there any report that exports this data in some other form for backup.
Hope it help you.

Delete records from internal table using another internal table

HI,
I have two internal tables itab1 and itab2 which have same records initially.Later some records of itab2 are deleted .Then i want to delete those records from itab1 also ie,those records not found in itab2 .Is there any method other than looping.
So that itab1 again becomes equal to itab2.
Thanks in advance.
Sowmya.

Soumya,
Itab1 , Itab2 .
Before deleting the records from itab2 move those records to one more internal table itab3.
Now you have deleted records of itab2 in itab3.
SORT ITAB3,ITAB1 by your main key field.
LOOP AT itab3.
READ TABLE ITAB1 WITH KEY key field = itab3-
keyfield.
IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
DELETE itab1 where keyfield eq itab3-keyfield.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

Help needed writing trigger for deleting records from multipul tables

i am trying to write a trigger which would help me delete the record from 3 different tables
lets say i have table a , b and c
i an trying to write a trigger which would help me delete the same record from table a and c.
drop trigger az_zzz_trigger;
create trigger az_zzz_trigger
before INSERT or UPDATE or DELETE ON az_employ
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF DELETING then
delete from za_payroll
delete from az_salary_audit
end if;
end;
while executing this trigger all data of table za_payroll is delete.
what should i do so that only the record which i delete from az_employ gets deleted from az_payroll and az_salary_audit

Deleting records from compared tables...

Hi all,
I know there are a bunch of posts regarding this issue...but I don't see one that quite fits this scenario. I have two tables with the exact same structure...with key field matnr. I want to delete all of those records from table A where the material does NOT exist in table B. Is there a terse way to accomplish this?

Suresh and Ravi,
you are real good contributors to this forum and i like that.
Not that you give a LOT of answers, your answers even porve quality.
BUT i have one thing. People asking questions here are sometimes not TOO used to the ABAP syntax and other concepts.
SAP noticed that themselves and made some concepts "obsolete", to get a code which is better to read. Especially for newbies.
And well HEADER LINES are obsolete by now.
People not beeing really used to ABAP will have really big Problems in reading things like:
Loop at itab.
endloop.
or even harder:
modify itab.
this shall not be critic in any way, but rather a suggestion on how you can help the better. Accoring to your number of posts thats what you actually want.
thx for convenience.

Delete records from two tables

Hi All,
I have two tables (tableA and tableB) and i have four combination primary key.
How can I delete the records from tableA that are not in tableB?
In my sample below I need to delete the records from year 2013.
I have a loop to insert the new ones.
Thanks
Johnny
create table tableA(
keyA_id number,
keyB_id number,
keyC_id number,
keyD_id number,
amount number,
CONSTRAINT "PK_TABLEA" PRIMARY KEY (keyA_id, keyB_id, keyC_id, keyD_id)
insert into tableA(keyA_id,keyB_id,keyC_id,keyD_id,amount)
values(1,1,1,2011,10);
insert into tableA(keyA_id,keyB_id,keyC_id,keyD_id,amount)
values(1,1,1,2012,40);
insert into tableA(keyA_id,keyB_id,keyC_id,keyD_id,amount)
values(1,1,1,2013,20);
insert into tableA(keyA_id,keyB_id,keyC_id,keyD_id,amount)
values(1,1,2,2011,10);
insert into tableA(keyA_id,keyB_id,keyC_id,keyD_id,amount)
values(1,1,2,2012,30);
insert into tableA(keyA_id,keyB_id,keyC_id,keyD_id,amount)
values(1,1,2,2013,20);
create table tableB(
keyA_id number,
keyB_id number,
keyC_id number,
keyD_id number,
amount number,
CONSTRAINT "PK_TABLEB" PRIMARY KEY (keyA_id, keyB_id, keyC_id, keyD_id)

values(1,1,1,2011,10);
insert into tableB(keyA_id,keyB_id,keyC_id,keyD_id,amount)
values(1,1,1,2012,40);
insert into tableB(keyA_id,keyB_id,keyC_id,keyD_id,amount)
values(1,1,1,2014,40);
insert into tableB(keyA_id,keyB_id,keyC_id,keyD_id,amount)
values(1,1,2,2011,10);
