Inserting data in to table....

Hello,
We have an assignment in tomorrow and are having a few problems! This code is to enter details in to an 'order details' table:
insert into Order_Details values(order_details_seq.nextval, orders_seq.currval, '&&DVD_ID',
(select dvd_details.selling_price from dvd_details where dvd_details.dvd_id = &&DVD_ID));
This all works fine and we can enter the details... the only problem is when we try and enter details for the next order. The DVD ID number is automatically entered and the user is not prompted for the DVD ID...
Any help would be great!
Pam

Pam,
The problem is that sql plus already knows the value for &&DVD_ID once you have entered it. It was only asking you for it's value the first time because it didn't have a value. Now that you have entered it, it is perfectly happy using that value over and over again.
What you may want to do is put your statement inside a loop with a statement like this:
ACCEPT DVD_ID CHAR PROMPT 'Enter the DVD ID: '
prior to the sql statement so that it prompts you every time.

How to insert data into a table only when data has changed its value (when compared to the previous inserted value)

I wish to insert data into a table only when the value of the inserted data has changed. Thus, in a time series, if the value of the data at time, t-1, is 206 then if the data to be inserted at time t is 206, then it is skipped (not entered).
If the value of the data at time t+1 is 206, it is skipped also; until the value changes, so if the value at t+1 was 205, then that would be inserted, and if at time t+2 the data is 206, it would be inserted too.
What is the best way to do it without increasing overheads?

This view works:
SELECT
i.IDNO,i.[Date],i.[Level]
FROM
mytable i
INNER
JOIN mytable
d
ON
d.IDNO
= i.IDNO-1
WHERE
i.[Level]
<> d.[Level]
on this mytable below. A trigger could be quite useful here although I am cautious using them. However I wish to avoid the overhead by not having a temp table (which could be sizable). mytable below
should give 3 lines. The IDNO is an identity column.
IDNO

Using variables to insert data in the table

I want to insert datas in the table. I use constants,
all the constants are stored properly in the table. But,
when I use variables I get the error message
"Too few parameters. expected 6".
(I declared all the fields of the table as text only.)
My program is "newt.jsp"
<%@ page language="java" import="java.sql.*" %>
<html>
<head>
<title>storing customer information in the database</title>
</head>
<body>
<%
String cno1 = request.getParameter("cno");
String n1 = request.getParameter("n");
String add11 = request.getParameter("add1");
String add21 = request.getParameter("add2");
String phone1 = request.getParameter("phone");
String email1 = request.getParameter("email");
Connection con = null;
try {
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:customer"," "," ");
Statement statement1 = con.createStatement();
Statement statement2 = con.createStatement();
statement2.executeUpdate("create table cust1 (cno varchar(20),n varchar(20),add1 varchar(20),add2 varchar(20),phone varchar(20),email varchar(20))");
statement1.executeUpdate("insert into cust1 (cno,n,add1,add2,phone,email) values(cno1,n1,add11,add21,phone1,email1)");
catch(SQLException sqle) {
System.err.println(sqle.getMessage());
catch(ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {
System.err.println(cnfe.getMessage());
catch(Exception e) {
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
finally {
 try {
 if(con!=null) {
 con.close();
catch(SQLException sqle) {
System.err.println(sqle.getMessage());
%>
 
Mr./Ms. <%=n1 %> 
Your datas have been stored. 
</body>
</html>
Those who know answer please reply.
My thanks in advance.

I would expect your insert statement to be this:
statement1.executeUpdate("insert into cust1 (cno,n,add1,add2,phone,email) values('"+cno1+"','"+n1+"','"+add11+"','"+add21+"','"+phone1+"','"+email1+"')");
If you just create a string, it's not going to fill in variables into the string by magic.

How to insert data into a table from an xml document

using the XmlSql Utility, how do I insert data into a table from an xml document, using the sqlplus prompt.
if i use the xmlgen.insertXML(....)
requires a CLOB file, which i dont have, only the xml doc.
Cant i insert directly from the doc to the table?
the xmlgen examples I have seen first convert a table to a CLOB xmlString and then insert it into another table.
Isnt there any other way?

Your question is little perplexing.
If you're using XML SQL Utility from
the commandline, just use putXML.
java OracleXML putXML

Inserting Data into nested table

I am exploring the differences between OBJECT & RECORD.
As i am still in process of learning, I found that both are structures which basically groups elements of different datatypes or columns of different datatypes, one is used in SQL and other is used in PL/SQL, please correct me if I am wrong in my understanding.
Below i am trying to insert data into an table of type object but i am unsuccessful can you please help.
CREATE OR REPLACE type sam as OBJECT
v1 NUMBER,
v2 VARCHAR2(20 CHAR)
---Nested Table---
create or replace type t_sam as table of sam;
--Inserting data----
insert into table(t_sam) values(sam(10,'Dsouza'));

So only purpose of equivalent SQL types concept of nested tables is to use them as one of the data types while defining an actual table?
Sort of - you can definitely use them for more than just "defining an actual table". (I'm fairly certain you could pass a nested table into a procedure, for example - try it, though - I'm not 100% sure on that - it just "makes sense". If you can define a type, you can use it, pass it around, whatever.).
Ariean wrote:
And that nested table could be a record in SQL or an Object in PLSQL or just simple datatype(number,varchar etc)?
Nested tables are just like any other custom data type. You can create a nested table of other data types. You can create a custom data type of nested tables.
It could get stupidly .. er, stupid O_0
CREATE TYPE o_myobj1 AS object ( id1   number, cdate1 date );
CREATE TYPE t_mytype1 AS table of o_myobj1;
CREATE TYPE o_myobj2 AS object ( id2   number, dumb t_mytype1 );
CREATE TYPE t_dumber AS table of o_myobj2;
O_0
Ok, my brain's starting to hurt - I hope you get the idea

Need to insert data in 2 tables thro stored procedure

I need to create a stored procedure which will insert data in two tables. The procedure will get
its inputs from an Oracle Developer Form which will be inserted into the tables.
The 2 tables structure:
1.FEES_MASTER
Name Null? Type
FEES_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(8) -- Primary Key
CS_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(8) -- Class Student ID; An enrolled student
REC_DATE NOT NULL DATE -- Fees receipt date
REC_AMOUNT NOT NULL NUMBER(6) -- Fees receipt amount
2.FEES_DETAIL
Name Null? Type
FEES_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(8) -- Foreign Key
MONTH NOT NULL DATE -- First of each month to identify fee month
Scenario:
A student submits fees for 3 months through Master/Detail related blocks in a Developer Form as
Under:
Fees Master
Fees ID : 11002
Class Student ID : 356
Receipt Date : 06-JAN-2001
Receipt Amount : 1500
Fees Detail
Fees ID Fees Month
11002 01-JAN-2001
11002 01-FEB-2001
11002 01-MAR-2001
I need to check each fees detail record for fees month duplication as well before inserting new records.
How can this be achieved?
Thanks in advance.

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Fan Liu ([email protected]):
create primary key in the detail table. i think it's FEES_ID + MONTH. then mark the columns in Forms as primary key property true, then call check_record_uniqueness built-in in on-check-unique trigger.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Thanks very much. But what I need is to ensure transaction integrity thro stored procedure. The system allows a certain CS_ID (i.e. Class Student ID, which is assigned a new one to every student annually) to submit fees for 12 months only, because a student stays in a class for a year. The 2 columns in the FEES_DETAIL table are composite primary key which only ensures that a certain FEES_ID will not be repeated for the same month. But suppose:
1)this data already exist in the tables:
Fees Master
Fees ID : 11002
Class Student ID : 356
Receipt Date : 06-JAN-2001
Receipt Amount : 1500
Fees Detail
Fees ID Fees Month
11002 01-JAN-2001
11002 01-FEB-2001
11002 01-MAR-2001
2)And this data is currently being inserted:
Fees Master
Fees ID : 11300
Class Student ID : 356
Receipt Date : 04-FEB-2001
Receipt Amount : 1500
Fees Detail
Fees ID Fees Month
11300 01-JAN-2001
11300 01-FEB-2001
11300 01-MAR-2001
The data in the 2nd condition is perfectly valid but the application can't allow a student to submit fees for a month which he has already submitted. Now only a stored procedure can make sure after checking that the same student doesn't pay fees for duplicate months. Another reason for my emphasis on stored procedure is that what if a user tries to insert data thro an SQL* Plus session instead of the Form.
PROBLEM: Now the problem I am having is I don't know how the procedure will take input for multiple records from the FEES_DETAIL block in the Form.
Please assist in this regard. Thanks.

How do I run a database procedure that inserts data into a table from withi

How do I run a database procedure that inserts data into a table from within a Crystal report?
I'm using CR 2008 with an Oracle 10i database containing a number of database tables, procedures and packages that provide the data for the reports I'm developing for my department. However, I'd like to know when a particular report is run and by whom. To do this I have created a database table called Report_Log and an associated procedure called prc_Insert_Entry that inserts a new line in the table each time it's called. The procedure has 2 imput parameters (Report_Name & Username), the report name is just text and I'd like the username to be the account name of the person logged onto the PC. How can I call this procedure from within a report when it's run and provide it with the 2 parameters? I know the procedure works, I just can't figure out how to call it from with a report.
I'd be grateful for any help.
Colin

Hi Colin,
Just so I'm clear about what you want:
You have a Stored procedure in your report. When the report runs, you want that same procedure to write to a table called Report_Log.
If this is what you want the simple answer is cannot be done. Crystal's fundamental prupose is to read only, not write. That being said, there are ways around this.
One way is to have a trigger in your database that updates the Report_Log table when the Stored Procedure is executed. This would be the most efficient.
The other way would be to have an application run the report and manage the entry.
Good luck,
Brian

Thanx in advance
anirudh

Hi Anirudh,
Seems there is already an entry in the Table with the same Primary Key.
INSERT Statement will give short dump if you try to insert data with same key.
Why dont you use MODIFY statement to achieve the same.
Reward points if this Helps.

Hi ,
1.)You must have to create a EO based on custom table and then VO based on this EO eventually to save the values in DB
2.) the row.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED); is used to set the the status of row as inialized ,this is must required.
3.) When u will create the VO based on EO the viewattributes will be created in VO which will be assigned to the fields to take care the db handling .
You must go thtough the lab excercise shipped with you Jdeveloper ,there is a example of Create Employee page ,that will solve your number of doubts.
Thanks

Insert data into multiple tables

Hi all,
I've a requirement where i need to insert data into multiple tables using PL/SQL procedure
Procedure should have two parameters
1. Table Name (parameter1)
2. Data (parameter2)
Based on these two parameters i need to insert data into table (parameter1) using data (parameter2)
ex:
Procedure insert_data (p_table IN VARCHAR2
,p_data IN -- what should be the datatype?
IS
l_statement VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
-- insert data into tables
INSERT INTO p_table
values (....);
END insert_data;Thanks in advance!!

BEDE wrote:
Amen to that!
So, I believe a better approach would be the following...
Suppose you have N datafiles with the same structure, and you wish to insert into the database the data from all those files.
For that, you should have a single table, named, say incoming_file_data, which should be structured more or less like below:
create table incoming_file_data (
filename varchar2(250) not null -- name of the file inserted from
,file_time timestamp -- timestamp when the data was inserted
,... -- the columns of meaningful data contained in the lines of those files
);And you will insert the data from all those files in this table, having normally one transaction for each file processed, for otherwise, when shit happens, some file may only get to be partially inserted into the table...
Maybe one good approach would be to create dynamically an external table for the file to be loaded, and then execute dynamically insert select into the table I said, so that you will have only one insert select for one file instead of using utl_file... RTM on that.If the file structures are the same, and it's just the filename that's changing, I would have a single external table definition, and use the alter table ... location ... statement (through execute immediate) to change the filename(s) as appropriate before querying the data. Of course that's not scalable if there are multiple users intenting to use this, but generally when we talk about importing multiple files, it's a one-user/one-off/once-a-day type of scenario, so multi-user isn't a consideration.

Insert data into nested tables

Hi,
Can someone please advice how can I insert data into nested tables using APEX.
I have a table "employee" and a column addresses of type address_table_type object which has address1, address2, address3 columns. I want to create form in APEX that will collect address1, address2, address3. I wonder how to do this? should the item be based in database item? if yes then how can I point to the column of address_table_type
Thanks
--Aali

Can you post your tabB type, sample data, and your exact insert statement?
Is it overwriting or not commiting the inserts?
Have you traced your session to see what is happening?

HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?

I cant see any join conditions in your query posted. Whats the purpose of the query above. It will just bring you a cartesian product (cross join) of tables involved subjected to filters. Are you sure this is the correct query?
The error you're getting may be because you've not yet populated DimProduct or may be because of logic you used in popultaing DimProduct causing it to miss some records which is what query is referring to in above case.

Insert data into linked table

Problem when you try to insert data into linked table.
I made the view with all linked table columns (field1 is PK, field2, field3......) plus new primary key field "field1_PK" for tabular form wizard primary key field definition. After submit data on tabular form appears:
"Error in mru internal routine:ORA-2001:Error in MRU: row=1,ORA-00957: duplicate column name ORA-02063:preciding line from "SHEMA_NAME", insert into "field1","field1_PK","field3",........) values (:b1,:b2,:b3.........)

Is it bug too?

Hi,
Have you tried to do your updates using an INSTEAD OF TRIGGER on your view? An INSTEAD OF TRIGGER allows you to update a non-updateable view.
The following book contains an excellent introduction to this topic.
