  • How to insert into a table with a nested table which refer to another table

    Hello everybody,
    As the title of this thread might not be very understandable, I'm going to explain it :
    In a context of a library, I have an object table about Book, and an object table about Subscriber.
    In the table Subscriber, I have a nested table modeling the Loan made by the subscriber.
    And finally, this nested table refers to the Book table.
    Here the code concerning the creation of theses tables :
    Book :
    create or replace type TBook as object
    number int,
    title varchar2(50)
    Loan :
    create or replace type TLoan as object
    book ref TBook,
    loaning_date date
    create or replace type NTLoan as table of TLoan;
    Subscriber :
    create or replace type TSubscriber as object
    sub_id int,
    name varchar2(25)
    loans NTLoan
    Now, my problem is how to insert into a table of TSubscriber... I tried this query, without any success...
    insert into OSubscriber values
    *(1, 'LEVEQUE', NTLoan(*
    select TLoan(ref(b), '10/03/85') from OBook b where b.number = 1)
    Of course, there is an occurrence of book in the table OBook with the number attribute 1.
    Oracle returned me this error :

  • How to insert into a table from 3 tables?

    Hello,
    How to insert into a table getting values from 3 different tables?
    For example table_A has col_1 to col_10.
    I want to insert into table_A,
    values: col_1 to col_4 are from table_B,
    col_5 is from table_C,
    col_6 to col_10 are from table_D.
    Thanks!

    Normally, you'd do this by joining B, C, and D together. In the simplest case, something like
    INSERT INTO A( col1, ... col10 )
      SELECT B.col1, ..., B.col4,
             C.col5,
             D.col6, ..., D.col10
        FROM B,
             C,
             D,
       WHERE B.someKeyColumn = C.someKeyColumn
         AND C.anotherKeyColumn = D.anotherKeyColumnYou'd have to know how the data in B, C, and D relate to fill in the WHERE clause. This basically tells Oracle how to match the data in a particular row in B with the data in a particular row in C with the data in a particular row in D.

  • How to Insert into a temporary table

    Hi Experts,
    I have created a temp table in sql from vfp using the #prefix. But when I issue an insert command sqlexec returns negative.
    The code which I have used :
    =sqlexec(oConn, "Create table #smenu (code_ varchar(1), name_ varchar(50))")
    Table created successfully under tempdb database of sql
    m_result=sqlexec(oConn, "insert into #smenu values ('100','Police')")
    m_result returns negative.
    Kindly help.

    Try to create a permanent table:
    =sqlexec(oConn, "Create table temp_smenu (code_ varchar(1), name_ varchar(50))")
    m_result=sqlexec(oConn, "insert into temp_smenu values ('100','Police')")
    Temporary table has limited visibility.
    You need to drop table temp_smenu when finished.

  • *Urgent*How to insert data from MS SQL to the table that create at the adobe form?

    Hi,
    I'm using Adobe life cycle designer 8 to do my interactive form. I would like to ask how to insert data from MS SQL to the table that i have created in my adobe interactive form?
    I really need the information ASAP as i need to hand in my project by next week... i really appreciate any one who reply this post.
    Thanks

    Tou need to do a couple of things
    1. On the Essbase server, set up an odbc system connection to your MySQL database
    2. In the load rule , go to the file menu and select open SQL data source and in the data source put in your SQL statement . A couple of hints. Where it says Select, don't put in the word select and where it say from don't put in from. The system adds them for you. The easiest way ti enter a SQL statement is to do it all in the select area So if your SQL would normanlly say select * from mytable just enter the code as * from mytable in the select area
    The click ol/retrieve and enter in your connection info. Itshould bring data back into the load rule. Save the load rule and use it

  • How to insert into two differents tables at the same time

    Hi
    I'm newer using JDev, (version 3.1.1.2 cause the OAS seems to support just the JSP 1.0)
    and I want to insert into two differents tables at the same time using one view.
    How can I do that ?
    TIA
    Edgar

    Oracle 8i supports 'INSTEAD OF' triggers on object views so you could use a process similar to the following:
    1. Create an object view that joins your two tables. 'CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW test AS SELECT d.deptno, d.deptname, e.empname FROM DEPT d, EMP E'.
    2. Create an INSTEAD OF trigger on the view.
    3. Put code in the trigger that looks at the :NEW values being processed and determines which columns should be used to INSERT or UPDATE for each table. Crude pseudo-code might be:
    IF :NEW.deptno NOT IN (SELECT deptno FROM DEPT) THEN
    INSERT INTO dept VALUES(:NEW.deptno, :NEW.deptname);
    INSERT INTO emp VALUES (:NEW.deptno, :NEW.empname);
    ELSE
    IF :NEW.deptname IS NOT NULL THEN
    UPDATE dept SET deptname = :NEW.deptname
    WHERE deptno = :NEW.deptno;
    END IF;
    IF :NEW.empname IS NOT NULL THEN
    UPDATE emp SET empname = :NEW.empname
    WHERE deptno = :NEW.deptno;
    Try something along those lines.

  • How to insert into 2 tables from the same page (with one button  link)

    Hi,
    I have the following 2 tables....
    Employees
    emp_id number not null
    name varchar2(30) not null
    email varchar2(50)
    hire_date date
    dept_id number
    PK = emp_id

    Notes

    note varchar2(4000)
    emp_id number not null
    PK = note_id
    FK = emp_id
    I want to do an insert into both tables via the application and also via the same page (with one button link). I have made a form to add an employee with an add button - adding an employee is no problem.
    Now, on the same page, I have added a html text area in another region, where the user can write a note. But how do I get the note to insert into the Notes table when the user clicks the add button?
    In other words, when the user clicks 'add', the employee information should be inserted into the Employees table and the note should be inserted into the Notes table.
    How do I go about doing this?
    Thanks.

  • How to insert into table from an Datatable ?

    Hi Friend,
    I have a datatable that is created at some point in my SSIS as an object.
    I need to insert the data into a sql table, how should I do that ?
    I have this:
            Dim oleDA As New OleDbDataAdapter
            Dim dt As New DataTable
            Dim col As DataColumn
            Dim row As DataRow
            Dim sMsg As String
            oleDA.Fill(dt, Dts.Variables("history").Value
    and want to insert into a table in a SQL DB

            Dim sqlreader As SqlClient.SqlDataReader
            sqlCon.Open()
    Thanks in advance,

    Convert it to a ADO .Net recordset and store it in a object variable in SSIS.
    Then you can use it to populate the table using foreach loop with ado enumerator

  • How to INSERT into table using CORRELATED subquery

    I have 3 tables:
    1.TEMP_PHONE(person_id, phonenumber, phone_type) - this holds all phone numbers relating to a person(just a temporary holding area)
    2.PHONE_CONNECT(PERSON_ID, PHONE_ID) this table shows all the phone numbers relating to an individual. Phone_id is a unique number to identify a phonenumber and type(cell, work, home) - so in this table a person can have multiple phone ids)
    3.MASTER_PHONE(PHONE_ID, PHONENUMBER, PHONE_TYPE) this is a master phone table. each combination of phone number and type has a unique identifier-phone_id.
    What i need to figure out is how to populate PHONE_CONNECT with the information from TEMP_PHONE IF PERSON_ID already exists but phone_id is different. In other words, if the person gets a new phone number, i need to insert a new row into phone_connect.
    Before that step is started, the master_phone is populated first with a new phone_id associated to the phonenumber/type
    any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
    So far, this is what i have come up with, but not sure if it makes sense:
    insert into phone_connect(person_id)
    select a.person_id
    from temp_phone a
    where
    person_id = (select b.person_id from phone_connect b, master_phone c
    where
    a.person_id=b.person_id
    and b.phone_id <> c.phone_id
    and c.phonenumber||c.phone_type=a.phonenumber||a.phone_type);
    update phone_connect c
    set phone_id=(
    select b.phone_id
    from temp_phone a, master_phone b
    where a.person_id = c.person_id
    and a.phonenumber||a.phone_type = b.phonenumber||b.phone_type)
    where phone_id is null;

    It does. You are right. But that's what i need help with. I don't think my code is correct. After the insert, the code is actually updating the same exact record I just inserted. I'm sure this all can be done with one insert. I just really don't know how to show that in my code.
    I need to insert a new record into phone_connect with person_id and phone_id. phone_id is already populated in master_phone. I guess my problem is how to go about creating the joins to all three tables to make sure im inserting the data correctly, or not inserting data that already exists.
