Hi
My External Table is working fine , but I want put Default Values when Null, Example when COD_REJ is NULL I want Put 3 spaces

never tried by may be you can do this? Not sure on

SQL Loader, nested tables and default values

Is there a way to specify a default value for a nested table entry when SQL*Loader encounters a 'null' value?
I want to avoid this:
Record 5: Rejected - Error on table LEVEL_DESC, column LEVELS.
NULL nested table element is not allowed

Use the NULLIF parameter in your control file for the nested table objects.
e.g
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'level_data.dat'
INTO TABLE LEVEL
(LEVEL_ID POSITION (01:05) CHAR
LEVEL_NAME POSITION (07:20)
LEVEL_DESC COLUMN OBJECT
(LEVELS POSITION (22:25) CHAR NULLIF LEVEL_DESC.LEVELS=BLNAKS,
... ))

Populate target table with default value

I have a query like this:
SELECT 0 AS ID,
9999999999 AS CODE
FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT VEH.TP_ID AS ID,
VEH.VEH_ID AS CODE
FROM TB_VEHICLE;
So I have an interface with two data sets, one for each query.
The first data set represents the "select from dual" "constant values" and the second represents the "select * from tb_vehicle".
In the first data set I don´t have a source, then ODI generates a select without a table "select 0 AS ID, 99999 AS CODE FROM".
Any ideas on how can I achieve my objective? I need to populate one row on target table with constant values.
Thanks

Alternatively , try this :
Duplicate the LKM and IKM you are using, create copies , something like LKM xyz (No Source) , IKM xyz (No Source).
Then adust the KM steps accordingly, remove the 'FROM' part and replace with VALUES ( ) , keeping the odiref substitution call in the parenthesis.
So you basically have a knowlede module that accepts no source data, generating :
insert into C$
(col 1, col 2, col 3 etc)
VALUES
(Target mapping 1, target mapping 2, target mapping 3 etc)
I've seen it done, nice and tidy, keeps all the lineage in ODI etc.

What is the best way to implement default values stored in a DB table?

[JHeadstart 10.1.3 build 78]
[JDeveloper 10.1.3 SU4]
We are struggling on how to best implement default values that are stored in a DB table. What we have is a database table with (CODE_TYPE, TABLE_NAME, COLUMN_NAME, DEFAULT_VALUE) as columns. This way the application administrator can administer default values himself/herself. Now we need to find the best way to set these table supplied default values in new rows. Globally we are aware of two ways:
- override create() method on VO
- probably create a View Object on top of the database table with default values (we are capable of transposing the table and return exactly one row with a column for each default value) and use JHeadstarts item property 'Default Value'.
We prefer the latter, since this is more declarative, however we struggle with the EL expression needed to indicate the default value.
If we have a VO named "DefaultValues" with a SELECT on a view on top of our database table (transposed) returning exactly one row, let us say:
SELECT orglanguage, orgtype, orgstatus [...]
FROM v_default_values
--> returning exactly one row
and we want an EL expression on an item that needs the value from orglanguage. What will the EL expression be? Something like:
#{data.DefaultValuesPageDef.currentrow.orglanguage.inputValue}? We tried several things but they do not work. A static default value works, but every EL expression so far does not. We know that using "data" can be dangerous, but thought JHeadstart takes care of preparing the other Page Definitions, so it might be possible when you use JHeadstart.
Or is overriding the create() method the preferred way? Or do we have to look at a Managed Bean for our default values that we refer to from EL (let us say MyAppDefaultValuesBean) and in that case: how do you associate a Managed Bean with a VO?
Any help would be appreciated. Apart from these default values, things are going rather well in this first J2EE/JHS project for us!

Steven,
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately whatever we try, we cannot get it to work. We started looking at the second option (since we do need default values also in table lay-out new rows). We created a DefaultValues ViewObject, added it to the Application Module, added an EL expressiona to the Default Display Value property (replacing your ending ")" with a "}" offcourse ;-)), ran the JAG so that a page definition was generated for DefaultValues and we managed to get it prepared when loading for example the Organisation's jspx page. However no default value appears in a new row (not in Form, not in Table layout).
I then created a quick application on top of the HR schema, added a DefaultValues ViewObject using one calculated attribute (set Salary fixed to 1000), added the EL expression to the Salary Default Display Value property in the Employees Group, made sure the DefaultValuesPageDef is prepared by adding it to the parameter section and I see it getting prepared. I also see a managed Bean is created in the Employees-bean.xml.
In the Embedded OC4J log we see:
16:01:01 DEBUG (JhsPageLifecycle) -executing onCreate
16:01:01 DEBUG (JhsPageLifecycle) -CreateEmployeesDefaultValues bean found, applying default values to new row
2006-08-02 16:01:01.825 WARNING [ADFc] Warning: No Method onCreateEmployees and no actionBinding CreateEmployees found.
Is it this warning we should be worried about? Since no default value is created.

We do not understand what is wrong and why the default values do not get created in the new rows (and it is taking us far too much time). Any chance the EL expression is still wrong? It is a shame that any syntax errors in EL expressions are not visible in some logfile. It looks like when EL expressions are wrong, they are ignored instead of raising an error...

How to Add column with default value in compress table.

while trying to add column to compressed table with default value i am getting error.
Even i tried no compress command on table still its giivg error that add/drop not allowed on compressed table.
Can anyone help me in this .
Thanks.

How to get column default value define on table?

Hi,
I am trying to get a table column default value with no success. I am using the Oracle Data Provider for .NET 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.2)
1). OracleConnection.GetSchema( "Columns", New System.String() {"<Owner>", "<Table_Name>"} returns everything BUT default value.
2). I tried querying oracle directly (sample below) but the default value comes back blank even though the column has one defined.
Dim oracleConnection As Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleConnection = factory.CreateConnection
Dim oracleCommand As New Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleCommand( _
"SELECT data_default FROM DBA_TAB_COLUMNS WHERE OWNER = 'TEST_SCHEMA' AND UPPER( TABLE_NAME ) = 'TEST' AND UPPER(COLUMN_NAM) = 'TESTCOL'")
oracleConnection.Open()
oracleCommand.Connection = oracleConnection
Dim oracleReader As Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleDataReader = oracleCommand.ExecuteReader
oracleReader.GetValue(0) 'This will return blank rather than default value for the column.
oracleReader.Read()
oracleReader.Close()
oracleConnection.Close()
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Hi Rob,
I just ran up a quick test and I can't duplicate the behavior you describe.
I created a simple table as "scott":
SQL> create table def_test(c varchar2(32) default 'hello, world');
Table created.In my simple test I used the following C# code:
NOTE: There is an error in this code if using ODP.NET (see my post below for details on this)
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.OracleClient;
class Program
static void Main(string[] args)
    string constr = "user id=scott;" +
                    "password=tiger;" +
                    "data source=orademo;" +
                    "pooling=false;" +
                    "enlist=false";
    OracleConnection con = new OracleConnection(constr);
    con.Open();
    OracleCommand cmd = con.CreateCommand();
    cmd.CommandText = "select   data_default " +
                      "from     all_tab_columns " +
                      "where    owner='SCOTT' " +
                      "and      table_name='DEF_TEST' " +
                      "and      column_name='C'";
    OracleDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
    dr.Read();
    string defaultValue = (string) dr.GetValue(0);
    Console.WriteLine("Default value is: {0}", defaultValue);
    dr.Dispose();
    cmd.Dispose();
    con.Dispose();
}Since the GetValue method returns an "object" I cast the value to a string and got the correct result.
However, I don't have a 10.2 ODP.NET environment right now so I was using 11.1 for this.
In your real code I suspect that you assign "oracleReader.GetValue(0)" to something - when you say "blank" do you mean zero length or a space or something else?

Mark

Error when loading from External Tables in OWB 11g

Hi,
I face a strange problem while loading data from flat file into the External Tables.
ORA-12899: value too large for column EXPIRED (actual: 4, maximum: 1)
error processing column EXPIRED in row 9680 for datafile <data file location>/filename.dat
In a total of 9771 records nearly 70 records are rejected due to the above mentioned error. The column (EXPIRED) where the error being reported doesn't have value greater than 1 at all. I suspect it to be a different problem.
Example: One such record that got rejected is as follows:
C|234|Littérature commentée|*N*|2354|123
highlightened in Bold is the EXPIRED Column.
When I tried to insert this record into the External Table using UTL_FILE Utility it got loaded successfully. But when I try with the file already existing in the file directory it again fails with the above error, and I would like to mention that all the records which have been loaded are not Ok, please have a look at the DESCRIPTION Column which is highlightened. The original information in the data file looks like:

In the External Table the Description Value is replaced by the inverted '?' as follows:

Please help.
Thanks,

Default values of columns not transferred in SSIS Transfer Objects Task

I am working on a project that is creating a new application, my area of the project being the migration of data from the old application database, transforming it, and populating the new database.
The transformations to the old data are done in a staging database.
At the end of the process, the staging database ends up with a lot of new applications tables, populated with the migrated legacy data.
We need to move these tables from the staging database to (initially) our test databases, but ultimately what will be the live database.
We have tried using the "Transfer SQL Server Objects Task" in SSIS, but have ran into a problem that a lot of the database tables have default values for columns.
These default values are not brought over.
Example. Tables contain a "GUID" field, which has a default of value of newid()
Right clicking and the table generating the CREATE script generates
[GUID] [uniqueidentifier] ROWGUIDCOL NOT NULL CONSTRAINT [DF_tbCRM_Client_GUID] DEFAULT (newid()),
However, the Transfer objects task does not create this default of newid()
Examining the SQL generated by the Import / Export Wizard when investigating this shows that the wizard generates this column as
[GUID] uniqueidentifier NOT NULL
and the column default value is lost.
Is there something i should be setting somewhere to force SSIS to bring these column definitions over correctly?

Kaarthik Sivashanmugam wrote:
This behavior is by design to maintain backward compatibility with the Copy SQL Server Objects task in SQL Server 2000. Only two constraints (Primary key and foreign key constraints) are expected to be copied by Transfer Objects task.
thank you for you response Sivashanmugam.
How can I move these tables (of which there are over a hundred) from my staging database into the application database - and keep the table definitions correct?
I cannot use the transfer objects task, as this will not define the tables correctly.
I cannot use the import and export wizard, as this will also not define the tables correctly.
This means I will manually have to code the drop, create and inserts for over a hundred tables?

How to set the default value of a database column to NULL

Hello,
I want to set the default value of a column (VARCHAR2(20) to NULL, nut I cannot figure out to do this. I tried the following editing the offline table with JDeveloper:
Default Value : <empty> -> On database NULL
Default Value: '' -> On database ''
When I create a new column, there is no default value on the database side and when I open the tabe properties in the database navigator I can see that the default value is (null). This is what I want to see in the other column as well. I don't know why sometimes a default value is visible on the database side (when generating form offline tables to database tables) and sometimes not.
Perhaps sombody can bring some light in this issue.
Thanks Thomas

Hello Shay,
I have the impression that you don't understand my problem. So here step by step:
1. Create a offline Table TEST with one column TEST: VARCHAR2(20). nullable=true, no default value.
2. Generate the table to the database
3. When you look at the table properties (columns) with the database navigator the following information is displayed (sorry for the formatting):
Column Name | Data Type | Nullable | Data Default | COLUMN ID| Primary Key | COMMENTS
TEST | VARCHAR2(20 BYTE | Yes | (null) | 1 | (null) | (null)
4. Now set the default value for the column TEST in the offline table for example to 'Test'
5. Generate the table to the database.
6. When you have a look at the database table, the default value is now 'Test' (as expected)
7. Now remove the default value of the column TEST in the offline table
8. Generate the table to the database
9. When you have a look at the database table, the default value is now NULL (in uppercase letters without parenthesis)
And this is where the problem starts!
When you generate the table again with the options "Alter/Manual Reconcile" the default value of the column test is considered to be different! But in fact it should'nt be different because nothing has been changed.
Best regards Thomas

Set Default Values in Listbox with Dialog Programming

Hi all,
I am stuck with a problem i.e I am working with Dialog Programming Screen
where i have to set default values in some n numbers of Listbox which i have created on Screen.
This default value is needed to be fetched from database table.
I am using single table. Hence no confusion that i have to first fetch data from 1st listbox then corresponding data is fetched into second & so on ..NO NO This is not required.
Simple one screen which will update a table in database, where some fields on the screen needs to be default set as per tables domain default values set while table creation.
Please help me out in this.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandhya.

Please search SDN, before you post a new forum from next time... any ways just follow the below code..
u need to use the FM 'VRM_SET_VALUES' to implement list box in module pool. Check the below code. u have to write this code in PBO..
if c = 0.
select land1 landx from t005t into table wi_country.
sort wi_country by land1.
delete adjacent duplicates from wi_country comparing all fields.
loop at wi_country.
wa_ctry-key = wi_country-land1.
wa_ctry-text = wi_country-landx .
append wa_ctry to wi_ctry.
endloop.
call function 'VRM_SET_VALUES'
exporting
id = 'ZCUST_MASTER1-COUNTRY'
values = wi_ctry
exceptions
id_illegal_name = 1
others = 2
if sy-subrc 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
endif.
c = 1.
endif.
Hope this helps u,

Set Default Value based on Field from another table for a custom object

I'm trying to set the default value on a custom object field to the value of an account field. I have tried the syntax 50 different ways, and just am getting no where. The account field label displays as DBA, the integration tag is ltDBA_ACCT, and it shows up in reporting fx area as Account.Text_22.
The custom object field I'm triying to update is also called DBA, which was originally the "NAME" required field. Does the table name, Account, have to be included? Do I need a function in front of the field?
I have been updating the external ID using the row ID with syntex <ID> (Less than ID greater than) so I know it is possible to set the Default Value, but <DBA>, <ltDBA_ACCT>, "Account"."DBA", and so on just don't not work.
If anyone knows how to enter this I'd really appreciate the help.

Ok, so if you want to default a field to the value from another object, you have to use the JoinFieldValue function. I think you understand that, based on your original post, but I want to be sure that you do.
Next, this will only work as a default if the record is created from the object that you wish to join on because a default works at record creation and the ID needs to be available for it to work properly. It will not work if you choose the related object record after the custom object record is created. You could set the value as a post-default, but that does not seem to meet your requirements.
The syntax for the Default Value would be as follows: JoinFieldValue(ref_record_type, foreign_key, field_name).
In your case, ref_record_type is '<Account>', foreign_key is [<AccountId>], and field_name is '<YourFieldName>'. The best way to determine what the field name is would be to create a new workflow for Account and use the Workflow Rule Condition expression builder to pick your field ("DBA") from the list. The value that is returned by the expression builder should be placed in the field_name variable in the JoinFieldValue function (minus the brackets and in single quotes).
Give this a shot and let me know how you do.

Alter Table Add column not null default value

I want to add two columns to a table with not null and default as 0 for both columns
Can i write the whole in one statement or do i have to split statement
I tried this, but didn't work
alter table DWSODS01.DWT00301_ORD_DTL_OMS add (
COMB_ORD_FLG NUMBER(5,0) default 0 not null,
COMB_ORD_NO NUMBER(12,0)

How can i modify the code?

     I am having an ALV table in which I want to display Requisition number by default using a value which i generated randomly and it is stored in a variable.
While displaying ALV table my req number field should display that value by default when ever user is inserting a row( all the coloumns n my alv are editable.
Is it possible??
Kindly give some suggestions.
Thanks in Advance,

Hai Kris,
    I took help from ur link and i declared a global attribute request_number.
and i created an event handler ON_ALV_INSERT and did the follwing coding for giving default value wen ever am inserting new row.
FIELD-SYMBOLS: <wa_row> LIKE LINE OF r_param->t_inserted_rows.
DATA bill_details TYPE REF TO zdom_bill_detail.
LOOP AT r_param->t_inserted_rows ASSIGNING <wa_row>.

    IF bill_details->REQ_NUMBER IS INITIAL.
DATA lo_nd_bill_detail TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.

navigate from <CONTEXT> to <BILL_DETAIL> via lead selection
lo_nd_bill_detail = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_bill_detail ).
lo_el_bill_detail = lo_nd_bill_detail->get_element( index = <wa_row>-index ).
      lo_el_bill_detail->set_attribute(
        EXPORTING
          name = 'REQ_NUMBER'
          value = wd_comp_controller->request_number
Wen am setting the value of wd_comp_controller->request_number to my context attribute am getting NULL object ref error.
