IW21 - Default values into Activities table on Creation of Notification

Hi,
Can anyone suggest a way to default values in to the first line of the Activities table (VIQMMA) on the Additional Information tab when creating a notification?
Some fields would be dependant on the entry in the field VIQMFE-OTGRP on the Header tab, others such as Start date and times, would be copied directly from the header tab.
I have been looking to use an Enhancement Point - but where to put it?
I'm hoping someone may have tried this already?
Thanks for your help,
Jan

How to insert a default value into MS server in java - help please

hi
suppose if i have a table and one of the column has a default value when the table was created. how can i insert the default value into this column? assuming that the column is the second column and i can't specify the column name when inserting. thanks.

thanks for ur response, so if i have insert statement as follow
insert into someTable values (1,'val1', 'val2', 'val3', 'val4')
and column 3 has default value = DEFAULT
then, to insert default value, my insert statement will look like this
insert into someTable values (1,'val1', 'val3', 'val4')
but the number of values will not match the number of columns.

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio: Creating a Database and a dbo Table. Inserting VALUES into the table. How to insert 8 Values for future use in XQuery?

Hi all,
In my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012), I tried to create a Database (MacLochainnsDB) and a dbo Table (marvel). then I wanted insert 8 VALUES into the Table by using the following code:
USE master
IF EXISTS
(SELECT 1
FROM sys.databases
WHERE name = 'MacLochlainnsDB')
DROP DATABASE MacLochlainnsDB
GO
CREATE DATABASE MacLochlainnsDB
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[marvel] (
[avenger_name] [char] (30) NULL)
INSERT INTO marvel
(avenger_name)
VALUES
('Hulk', 1),
('Iron Man', 2),
('Black Widow', 3),
('Thor', 4),
('Captain America', 5),
('Hawkeye', 6),
('Winter Soldier', 7),
('Iron Patriot', 8)
I got the following error Message:
Msg 110, Level 15, State 1, Line 5
There are fewer columns in the INSERT statement than values specified in the VALUES clause. The number of values in the VALUES clause must match the number of columns specified in the INSERT statement.
How can I correct this problem?
Please kindly help and advise.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang
P. S.
The reason I tried to create the Database, dbo Table, and then to insert the VALUES is to learn the following thing:
You can query the entire node tree with the following xquery statement because it looks for the occurrence of any node with the /* search string:
DECLARE @x xml;
SET @x = N'<marvel>
<avenger_name>Captain America</avenger_name>
</marvel>';
SELECT @x.query('/*');
You can query the avenger_name elements from the marvel_xml table with the following syntax:
SELECT xml_table.query('/marvel/avenger_name')
FROM marvel_xml;
It returns the following set of avenger_name elements:
<avenger_name>Hulk</avenger_name>
<avenger_name>Iron Man</avenger_name>
<avenger_name>Black Widow</avenger_name>
<avenger_name>Thor</avenger_name>
<avenger_name>Captain America</avenger_name>
<avenger_name>Hawkeye</avenger_name>
<avenger_name>Winter Soldier</avenger_name>
<avenger_name>Iron Patriot</avenger_name>
You can query the fourth avenger_name element from the marvel_xml table with the following xquery statement:
SELECT xml_table.query('/marvel[4]/avenger_name')
FROM marvel_xml;
It returns the following avenger_name element:
<avenger_name>Thor</avenger_name>

Hi Scott,
The master database records all the system-level information for a SQL Server system, so best practise would be not to create any user-defined
object within it.
To change your default database(master by default) of your login to another, follow the next steps so that next time when connected you don't have to use "USE dbname" to switch database.
Open SQL Server Management Studio
--> Go to Object explorer(the left panel by default layout)
--> Extend "Security"
--> Extend "Logins"
--> Right click on your login, click "propertites"
--> Choose the "Default database" at the bottom of the pop-up window.
--or simply by T-SQL
Exec sp_defaultdb @loginame='yourLogin', @defdb='youDB'
Regarding your question, you can reference the below.
SELECT * FROM master.sys.all_objects where name ='Marvel'
--OR
SELECT OBJECT_ID('master.dbo.Marvel') --if non empty result returns, the object exists
--usually the OBJECT_ID is used if a if statement as below
IF OBJECT_ID('master.dbo.Marvel') IS NOT NULL
PRINT ('TABLE EXISTS') --Or some other logic
What is the sys.all_objects? See
here.
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

How to set default value of a table using sequence number

Dear all,
Does any body know that how to set default value of a table
using sequence number.
But I don't want to use trigger to do that.
Please help!!!!
Eldon

Andrew is essentially correct. You can get around the trigger,
but not the sequence, if (and this may be a very big if) you can
guarantee that every time an insert is done into the table, from
whatever source, the statement looks something like
INSERT INTO tbl VALUES (sequence.nextval,other_columns_values)

ALTER TABLE test
MODIFY (indicator DEFAULT 'I');
Incidentally, INDICATOR is a keyword in Oracle, so you may have problems using it as a column name. If so, you'll have to enclose the column name in double-quotes, and be careful to use capital letters inside the quotes.

Hi Srini,
Thanks for looking into this!!
We are on EBS 11.5.10 and OS is solaris.
I tried fnd_profile,fnd_global but no luck.
Here is the control file which we are using to load data.
load data
infile *
replace into table XXXX_YYYY_STAG
trailing nullcols
(line POSITION(1:2000)
I would like to populate org id when I load the data from file.unfortunately there is no identifier in the file that says for which org id the data is in the file.Only the way to identify the file org is based on file name
Where do you want to populate the ORG_ID ? There is no column for it in your stage table above
Is there way we can pass through concurrent program parameters?
Thanks

I have a table which contains the fields USER_NAME and DATE_CHANGED_AT.
here's what i want to do:
When we use se16 to enter data into the table, i want these fields to have default values .
user_name should contain the currently logged in user.
date_changed_at should contain todays date.
The aim is to eventually have these fields contain the person who last changed the row and the date when it was changed.
It doesnt matter if se16 doesnt contain it and we have a way of defaulting these values thru the table creation process.
something similar to the mandt field. When we create the table data, MANDT field is pre-populated.
Any thoughts?
Regards
Vandana

Entering data using SE16 is not a good practice .
YOu have to use table maintenance generator to maintable the table entries.
This also provides with options to write your own code to meet requirements like this.

How to dynamically get default value from a table column

Hi all,
Here's my problem: Our front end application sends insert and update queries to a pl/sql package. I've got a procedure that gets a PL/SQL table with all the column names an values, a table-name and a primary key name and value. That procedure creates an insert or update statement. So far, so good.
Now the problem: our front end doesn't know what the default value for a column is. So when a number field doesn't get a value in the front-end, it's inserted with a value '0' though is should ben NULL. My sollution for this is to know the default value of a column: when there's a default of '0', then the value that will be inserted is '0'. When there's no default value and the column can ben NULL, it'll be inserted as NULL. if the column has a not null constraint, a '0' will be inserted.
Ofcourse I can get the default value from the system-views all_tab_columns or user_tab_columns, but our application is installed at some 100 clients, and has various database installations. Most of the times, the tables are in the same schema as our procedure that performs the insert or update, but sometimes some of the tables are in another schema (in the same database) and also sometimes some tables are stored in another database. In all these situations, a synonym for that table exists in the schema.
Is there a api function or procedure that I can call to get the default value of a column? I looked at dbms_sql and dbms_metadata, but those packages don't give me that perticular information. if not, I'll stuck with the 'does table exists in schema' yes->use table, no query user_synonyms to look for the owner of the table (and database link) and query all_tab_columns to get the default value. Only this seems a bit overkill to me.
I hope I'm clear enough? And please don't reply with "don't do inserts this way"! I know, this is not the most optimal sollution, but it does gives us a couple of advantages in our application...

there is no way that I can think of, apart from what you have already discovered (i.e. views), where you can determine if a column has a defuault value defined against it.
The other option is triggers, but I guess doing that across 600 tables would not be an option, and besides I stay clear of triggers.
A different approach therefore, if you cannot pre-determine the data, is to consider a post problem handler, hence I suggested the use of an exception handler.
The exception handler works regardless of whether the statement is dynamic or not.

How to parse XML Column and insert values into a table

Hello,
I am working on a simple project to demonstrate how to load and extract XML using SQL, I have already made a table that contains a column of XMLTYPE and loaded an XML file into it (code below)
create or replace directory XMLSRC as 'C:\XMLSRC';
drop table Inventory;
create table Inventory(Inv XMLTYPE);
INSERT INTO Inventory VALUES (XMLTYPE(bfilename('XMLSRC', 'Inventory.xml'),nls_charset_id('AL32UTF')));
select * from Inventory;
I now however need to get the XML data back out of that and loaded into a new table. Troubleshooting guides I have read online seem to only be dealing with parsing an external XML document and loading it into a table, and not what I need to do which is parse a column of XML data and load that into a table. The project trivial with simple tables containing only 3 columns.
The table that needs to be loaded is as follows:
create table InventoryOut(PartNumber Number(10), QTY Number(10), WhLocation varchar2(500));
The XML document is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dataroot xmlns:od="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:officedata" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="Inventory.xsd" generated="2012-04-09T17:36:30">
<Inventory>
<PartNumber>101</PartNumber>
<QTY>12</QTY>
<WhLocation>WA</WhLocation>
</Inventory>
</dataroot>
Thank you for any help you can offer.

First of all, thank you for your help!! Still stunned that you actually took the time to write out an eample using my tables/names/etc. Thank you!!
Attached is the code, there seems to be an issue with referencing the other table, Inventory.Inv, I checked and that table and the Inv column are showing up in the database so I am not sure why it is having issues locating them, take a look at the code I wrote as well as the output (*I included the real version number for you this time :)
EDIT: In your code right here:
select xt.*
3 from Inventory inve,
4 XMLTable('/dataroot/Inventory'
5 PASSING inve.Inv
I think is where I am messing it up, perhaps not understanding fully what is going on, as you write "Inventory inve" and "inve.Inv" ---- Is inve a keyword that I am just not familiar with? I think this is where the issues lies in my code.
END EDIT
EDIT2: Well that looks like it was it, changed that to how you have it and it now works!!! Could you please explain what that few lines is doing, and what the xt.* and inve are doing? Thanks again!!!
END EDIT2
drop table InventoryOut;
create table InventoryOut (PartNumber number(10), QTY number(10), WhLocation varchar2(500));
insert into InventoryOut (PartNumber, QTY, WhLocation)
select xt.*
from Inventory Inv,

How to maintain default values for custom table fields -- Urgent

Hi all,
I've a requirement wherein i need to create a Z table (with maintainence view) in which i'll have date and time as two of its field which should have current date and current time as default value. Can somebody suggest as how am i to maintain the date and time fields defaulting to current date and current time.
Incase if someone is unable to intrepret what i'm trying to say, please query me, i'll elaborate it further.
Please give in your quick inputs which is highly valuable to me and also will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Vaishnavi Varadarajan

We have a following custom table which contains the fields Date on which record was created and Name of the person who created the object. We would like to have these to be filled up with SY-DATUM and SY-UNAME respectively.
Using the events, we can achieve this.
Please refer the following link:
http://abapliveinfo.blogspot.com/2007/12/events-in-table-maintenance-in-sap.html
Also,
Write a form routine in table maintanance generator.
1. SE11 > utilities > table maintenance generator
2. environment > modification > event
define the event and form routine to make use of the tigger. in the form routine define an object for the class and call the relevant method.
Or u can do it as:
Table maintenance generator is basically used to do table operations like (insert, delete, modify...).
if you create table maintenance for your table it will build a module pool program, by using you do the above operations.
below is the procedure to create table maintenance generator.
1) Create one function group.
2) after activating your Ztable, choose 'Utilities'----> 'Table maintenance genrator'.
3) then give the authorization group and function group created abobe in the next screen.
4) Then choose the "create" button in your application tool bar, which will creates the module pool program.
5) then create one Tcode by chosing "Transaction with parameters( parameter transaction)".
6) in transaction field give "SM30", select the check box "Skip initial screen".
7) in the below of that screen you can find the "Default values" frame.
8) there under the "name of screen field" select the "View name' and 'update".
9) in value column against to "view name" give you table name, and against to "Update" put 'X' in capital letters.
save it then you can straight away use this newly created Tcode to maintain your table.
Note:- 1) make the modification while saving the data into your table using this newly generated program to carry out your validation (even though it looks like standard program; no need to enter the access key).
2) if you do any changes to your table and press the activate button automatically the table maintenace generator will be goes off, you need to create this again.

Need to insert values into a table from a XML file

Hi,
I'm an Oracle 9i/10g DBA with quite a few years experience, but I'm new to XML and dealing with it in database terms. I've been given a project that entails pulling XML values out of a file (or 100's of them) and storing them in the database so that they are searchable by end-users. The project is classified as secret so I'm unable to upload the specific XML or any info relating to the structire of the XML or the table I will use to insert the values into - sorry!! So, I've created an XML file with a similar structure to help people understand my predicament.
The end-users only need to search on a subset of the total amount of columns from the table I'll insert data into, although the XML file has a lot more, so I dont need to store the other values - but I will need to store the name of the XML file (or a pointer to it so I know what XML file a particular set of values belong to) in another column of the table along with its associated values.
I've been using the XMLTABLE function with some degree of success, although I had better succes using the XMLSEQUENCE function. However, I found out this is deprecated in 10g and replaced with XMLTABLE, so I guess it's better if I use this in case we ever need to upgrade to 11g.
The main problem I've been having is that some elements in the XML files have multiple values for the one record when all the other records are the same. In terms of storing this in the database, I guess it would mean inserting multiple rows in the table for each element where the value differs. Here is a dumbed down XML file similar to what I've got along with the other SQL I've used:
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>+
+<House>+
+<Warehouse>+
+<WarehouseId>1</WarehouseId>+

CREATE TABLE xmltest OF XMLTYPE;
INSERT INTO xmltest
VALUES(xmltype(bfilename('XML_DIR', 'test.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8')));
Consequently, I need to...
1) Retrieve the results from the XML file for all 3 warehouses where multiple values for the same sub-element are shown as 2 rowsthe result set. (I am guessing there will be 4 rows returned as warehouse sub-2 has 2 different elements for <WarehouseName>.
2) Build a case statement into the query so that regardless of the sub-element name (i.e State or County), it is returned into the 1 column, for instance County.
So, if I run a query similar to the following...
select y.WarehouseId, y.Town, y.County, y.Area
from xmltest x, xmltable('/House/Warehouse' .......
I would like to get results back like this...
ID Town County Area
1 Southlake Texas 25000
2 Poole Dorset 40000
2 Solihull West Midlands 40000
3 Fleet hampshire 10000
Sorry for the non-formatting but I hope this all makessense to someone out there with what I'm trying to do.
I appreciate any help whatsoever because, as i said before, I'm totally new to XML and trying to read the vast amount of information there is out there on XML is all a bit daunting.
Many thanks in advance,
Shaun.

      pipe row ( rec );
    end loop;
    dbms_lob.freetemporary(tmp_file);
    return;
end;
end;Now, when I run the query:
select * from table(XFileHandler.getRows('XML_DIR', 'XFileHandler_test.xml'));I get the error: ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [17285], [0x5CFE8DC8], [4], [0x45ABE1C8], [], [], [], []
I had a look in the dump file for anything obvious, but nothing really stands out. Is there anything obvious in my code that I'm missing or something else which you may think could be causing this error, e.g in the regular expression regexp_substr?
Many thanks,
Shaun.
