UPDATE A TABLE WITH A RECORD

Hello,
I try to figure out if it exists a syntaxe for UPDATE statement using a record like it exists for INSERT statements.
declare
v_rec EMPLOYEES%ROWTYPE;
begin
select * into v_rec from employees where rownum = 1;
v_rec.employee_id := -1;
v_rec.email := v_rec.email||'_';
INSERT INTO EMPLOYEES VALUES v_rec;
v_rec.employee_id := -1;
v_rec.email := v_rec.email||'_XX';
UPDATE EMPLOYEES SET VALUES = v_rec where employee_id = -1;
end;
/

update EMPLOYEES
set row = v_rec
where employee_id = -1

Problem when updating af:table with new records

Hi,
I have a page that shows two tables from the same DB table but with different VOs.
Table1 displays records where date_column is within the current month, table2 displays all records.
The problem is that when I add new record and return to the page, I find out that the new record has been added to both tables, it’s shown in table1 even though its date is not within this month.
When I run the page again the problem is solved and everything is in the right place !!
How can I fix this?

Hi,
you will have to re-query the iterators because you add the new row to a VO - which is an iterator - that wont filter your input (instead you add to a filtered iterator). However, its strange that both tables show that value because if these are different VO they should be independent. Only if they are instances of the same VO tehy are expected to show the same data

Recordset - updating 2 tables with 1 recordset using application object update record

I have a recordset that uses a field from 2 different tables
with a select statement where clause that joins a userid. I can
display the field’s data just fine. Now I want to use the
Application object “update record” so I can modify
either of the fields. The problem is the Application object
“update record” only allows you to update one table.
How does Dreamweaver mx 2004 allow me to update 2 tables with one
recordset and 1 submit button? Currently using php.
Example of where:
Where member.userid = member_detail.userid
I tried creating the one form with the field from the first
table and that works just fine. I added the other field from the
other table into the form but ofcourse there isn’t any code
that will update the second table so it won’t work.
My application requires me to update alot of fields between 2
tables at the same time.
Does anyone know a way using Dreamweaver mx 2004 to do this?
I don’t have much php experience.

Not even CS3 has this built in, you will either have to code
it yourself
or buy the extension you have found. Dreamweaver gives you
basic
features to help you develop applications, but if you want to
do
anything really clever you have to do it yourself.
One thing to consider is maybe creating an SQL view that is
can be
updated. I am pretty sure it exists, then you use the view
instead of
the table in the update behaviour. I have never done it
myself, but I am
sure it can be done.

UPDATING A TABLE WITH SAME INFO FROM ANOTHER TABLE ON THE SAME DB

0down votefavorite
I am trying to update a table with info from another table on the same db with same table name. I just want the info to be the same , no primary key or constraint involve just a straight replacement of records and I keep getting errors WITH THE TABLE not
being recignize. below is my query:
UPDATE
VNDFIL
SET EOBTYP
= VNDFIL.EOBTYP,
EDI_X12_835_VERSION = VNDFIL.EDI_X12_835_VERSION
FROM
AGERECOVERY
WHERE
VNDFIL.EOBTYP
= VNDFIL.EOBTYP
AND
VNDFIL
.EDI_X12_835_VERSION
= VNDFIL.EDI_X12_835_VERSION

Hi rotary,
If those two same named tables are in the same database then they have to be in different schemas. If you mean they are in the same server instance, then they may be in different databases, besides the "table not being recognized" error,
anyway you should use the fully qualified table names, that is database.Schema.Table(If across instances, ServerName should be prefixed) to avoid the table unrecognized error.
Using Identifiers As Object Names
With the fully qualified names, your update statement can be like below.
UPDATE
db1.schema1.VNDFIL
SET EOBTYP = srcTbl.EOBTYP, EDI_X12_835_VERSION = srcTbl.EDI_X12_835_VERSION
FROM
db1.schema2.VNDFIL srcTbl
WHERE
db1.schema1.VNDFIL.EOBTYP = srcTbl.VNDFIL.EOBTYP AND
db1.schema1.VNDFIL.EDI_X12_835_VERSION = srcTbl.VNDFIL.EDI_X12_835_VERSION
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

URGENT update a table with a text that has a single quote in it

Hello, I am trying to update a table with a text that has a single quote in it. I believe I need to use two singles quotes but I am not sure how.
For example:
UPDATE TEST
SET DESCRLONG='Aux fins d'exportations'
WHERE etc...
Should I put 2 singles quotes before the quote in the text?
UPDATE TEST
SET DESCRLONG='Aux fins d'''exportations'
WHERE etc...
Thank you very much :)

The best way depends on the version of Oracle.
But, the quick and universal answer is to use two single quotes
SQL> connect test/test
Connected.
SQL> create table test (descrlong varchar2(128));
Table created.
SQL> insert into test values ('This is a string with a '' single quote');
1 row created.
SQL> select * from test;
DESCRLONG
This is a string with a ' single quote
SQL> update test set descrlong='Aux fins d''exportations'
2 where descrlong like 'T%';
1 row updated.
SQL> select * from test;
DESCRLONG
Aux fins d'exportations

Updating base table with Materialized View's data

Hi,
In order to update base table with MVs data, I am trying real time data transfer between two databases. One is Oracle 8i and other is Oracle 9i. I have created an updatable MV in 9i on a base table using database link. The base table is in 8i. Materialized View log is created in 8i on base table. MV has to be associated to some replication group, but I am not able to create replication group in 9i to which MV has to be associated. The required packages are not installed.
Replication packages are to be used to create replication group are :
/*Create Materialized View replication group*/
BEGIN
DBMS_REPCAT.CREATE_MVIEW_REPGROUP (
gname => 'TEST_MV_GRP',
master => 'TEST_DATA_LINK',
propagation_mode => 'ASYNCHRONOUS');
END;
But above block is giving error.
Can anyone suggest how to resolve this, or are there any other approaches (by not using replication packages) to update base table with MVs data ?
Thanks,
Shailesh

Yes, I created link between two databases and was able to update tables on 8i from 9i database using that link.
The error I am getting while creating replication group is :
ORA-06550
PLS-00201 : identifier 'SYS.DBMS_REPCAT_UTL2@'TEST_DATA_LINK' must be declared
ORA-06550
PLS-00201 : identifier 'SYS.DBMS_REPCAT_UNTRUSTED@'TEST_DATA_LINK' must be declared
ORA-06512 : at "SYS.DBMS_REPCAT_UTL", line 2394

ORA-06512 : at "SYS.DBMS_REPCAT_SNA", line 64
ORA-06512 : at "SYS.DBMS_REPCAT", line 1262
Is there any other approach which can be used to update base table with MVs data instead of using replication packages ?
Thanks,

Best way to update a table with disinct values

Hi, i would really appreciate some advise:
I need to reguarly perform a task where i update 1 table with all the new data that has been entered from another table. I cant perform a complete insert as this will create duplicate data every time it runs so the only way i can think of is using cursors as per the script below:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE update_new_mem IS
tmpVar NUMBER;
CURSOR c_mem IS
SELECT member_name,member_id
FROM gym.members;
crec c_mem%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
OPEN c_mem;
LOOP
FETCH c_mem INTO crec;
EXIT WHEN c_mem%NOTFOUND;
BEGIN
UPDATE gym.lifts
SET name = crec.member_name
WHERE member_id = crec.member_id;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN NULL;
END;
IF SQL%NOTFOUND THEN
BEGIN
INSERT INTO gym.lifts
(name,member_id)
VALUES (crec.member_name,crec.member_id);
END;
END IF;
END LOOP;
CLOSE c_mem;
END update_new_mem;
This method works but is there an easier (faster) way to update another table with new data only?
Many thanks

Almost anything would be better than that slow-by-slow loop processing.
You don't need a procedure you should just use MERGE for that. See the examples in the MERGE section of the SQL Language doc
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_9016.htm
MERGE INTO bonuses D
   USING (SELECT employee_id, salary, department_id FROM employees
   WHERE department_id = 80) S
   ON (D.employee_id = S.employee_id)
   WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET D.bonus = D.bonus + S.salary*.01
     DELETE WHERE (S.salary > 8000)
   WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (D.employee_id, D.bonus)
     VALUES (S.employee_id, S.salary*.01)
     WHERE (S.salary <= 8000);

I HAVE A SOURCE TABLE WITH 10 RECORDS AND TARGET TABLE 15 RECORDS. MY QUESTION IS USING WITH THE TABLE COMPARISON TRANSFORM .I WANT TO DELETE UNMATCHED RECORDS FROM THE TARGET TABLE ?? HOW IT IS ??

Hi Kishore,
First identify deleted records by selecting "Detect deleted rows from comparison table" feature in Table Comparison
Then Use Map Operation with Input row type as "delete" and output row type as "delete" to delete records from target table.

Select max date from a table with multiple records

I need help writing an SQL to select max date from a table with multiple records.
Here's the scenario. There are multiple SA_IDs repeated with various EFFDT (dates). I want to retrieve the most recent effective date so that the SA_ID is unique. Looks simple, but I can't figure this out. Please help.

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you have a question, post a little sample data in a form that people can use to re-create the problem and test their ideas.
For example:
CREATE TABLE     table_x
(     sa_id          NUMBER (10)
,     char_type     VARCHAR2 (10)
,     effdt          DATE
,     char_val     VARCHAR2 (10)
INSERT INTO table_x (sa_id, char_type, effdt,                          char_val)
     VALUES     (0000651005, 'BASE',    TO_DATE ('15-AUG-2007', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 'YES');
INSERT INTO table_x (sa_id, char_type, effdt,                          char_val)
     VALUES     (0000651005, 'BASE',    TO_DATE ('13-NOV-2009', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 'NO');
INSERT INTO table_x (sa_id, char_type, effdt,                          char_val)
     VALUES     (0010973671, 'BASE',    TO_DATE ('20-MAR-2008', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 'YES');
INSERT INTO table_x (sa_id, char_type, effdt,                          char_val)
     VALUES     (0010973671, 'BASE',    TO_DATE ('18-JUN-2010', 'DD-MON-YYYY'), 'NO');
COMMIT;Also, post the results that you want from that data. I'm not certain, but I think you want these results:
`    SA_ID LAST_EFFD
    651005 13-NOV-09
10973671 18-JUN-10That is, the latest effdt for each distinct sa_id.
Here's how to get those results:
SELECT    sa_id
,         MAX (effdt)    AS last_effdt
FROM      table_x
GROUP BY sa_id
;

Updating a table with billion rows

It was an interview question, what's the best way to update a table with 10 billion rows. Give me your suggestions. Thanks in advance.
svk

The best way to answer questions such as this is NOT with a absolute and specific answer. Instead, discuss your strategy for approaching the problem. The first step is to understand your exact requirement. It is surprising how often people
write update statements with an under-qualified where clause. NEVER update a row that does not need to be updated. For example, a statement like:
update mytable set cola = 'ABC' where id in (1, 45, 212);
Assuming id is unique for the table and the specified values exist in the table, we know 3 rows will be updated. Do all of those rows need to be updated? Think about it. If cola is already set to 'ABC' for any of those rows, we could ignore
those rows and make the update more efficient. To do that, you need to add "and cola <> 'ABC' " to the where clause. That is just one example of understanding exactly what you need to do - and doing only that which needs to be done.
Once you understand exactly what you need to do, you need to analyze the impact of the update and identify any potential issues. Updating a lot of rows can take a lot of time and consume large amounts of log and disk space. What else is using
the table? Can you afford to lock the table for the duration of the update? Are there concurrency issues, regardless of whether you update in batches or in one single statement? When using a batch approach, is there an issue if someone runs
a query against the table (i.e., the result is different from that of the same query run after all updates have been completed)? Are you changing something which is included in an index? Are you changing part of the clustered index?
Ultimately, every question you are asked is (or should be) designed to test your problem-solving skills and your skillset. IMO, it is relatively easy to improve your skillset of any particular tool, language, or environment. The other - not so much
and that is why they are more valuable IMO.

Column B has same data in both the tables.
I need to update Tabl_2 in new_column with Tabl_1 A column data by comparing B column in both tables.
I m trying to do using PLSQL Tables.
Any suggestion?
Thanks.

Hi,
Whenever you have a problem, please post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) from all tables involved, so that the people who want to help you can re-create the problem and test their ideas.
Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.
If you're asking about a DML statement, such as UPDATE, the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements should re-create the tables as they are before the DML, and the results will be the contents of the changed table(s) when everything is finished.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (for example, 11.2.0.2.0).

Why are you trying to use PL/SQL tables? If tabl_1 and tabl_2 are regular database tables, it will be much simpler and faster just to use them.
Depending on your requirements, you can do an UPDATE or MERGE, either in SQL or in PL/SQL.
