Add column to table

When adding a new column to a table, it is not possible to insert/update data during the same session because new column is named "null" in the generated SQL-statement.
In case you want to update an existing record after adding a new column, you can do a rollback. If after that you try to delete the existing record, you get the error message "Data updated by another user, cannot delete row."

Did you use the right-click Column > Add? When I do this, it prompts me to name my new column and if I do not provide a name, the resulting sql fails. When I add a valid column, I have no problem adding data. Depending on which tab you are on when you add the column, you might need to refresh the display before adding data.

Add columns to Table & maintaining width

I want to add a coulmn to a table in InDesign wihout changing the overall width of the table. In Quark there is an option called Maintain Geometry which allows you to add a column or columns to a table without changing the overall width--so that if you start off building a 4" wide table w/4 columns you could add more columns and still maintain the 4" width, as long as that option checked. Can't figure how to do this in Indesign. Is it possible? Thanks all.

With the Type tool move over the right border of the table. If you hold down the Shift key and drag the border, the cells to the left will all scale smaller so you can adjust to the new width. Then you click click on the right border of each column and drag to adjust column width. You can also numerically change the width of a column in the Table panel or the Control panel when the column is selected.

How to add a column in table control

Hi ,
Can any one tell me how to add a column in table control? My requirement is to add two columns ( custom fields ) into table control ( It is a standard program). I have added the column in the table and also in the table control. But when I am running the standard program, The newly added column is not there. But I have added in the perticular screen. Change is not reflected.
Can anyone help me on this please.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Lakshmi.

Hi,
Ensure the following :
1. After adjusting the database, you`ll have to use the database utility and activate the table.
2. If you have changed the standard screen, in tcode se80 -- right click on the program and click activate all. This activates all objects related to that program.
Now execute the program.

Hi All,
I am working on a enhancement for transaction VA01. I have to add few column for tab Additional Data B. In this tab column are displayed in table control. Now i have to add two more column in table control. Could you please help me to find out the exit and the way to populate the new columns.
Thanks
Piyush Mathur

Hi Piyush,
That table control might have been created using an internal table i.e declared in the exit. Add two more fields which you want to that internal table. And come to the layout and create table control once again using that internal table.

How to add column to report from the same table? Gives error now

Steps to reproduce:
Build a report on a table with easy report, select all columns
Add column to the table
Edit report and add column (one has to click Show Related Tables Only: No to view the same table!)
Report will give error as it will be build as
SELECT ... FROM table1, table1

AH HAAA!!!!
And I was afraid to convert from the "SQL (Structured Query)" to "SQL". Probably because I blew up my other reports...

Hi Rajnish,
I had the same issue. For what it’s worth I was able to do a workaround basically creating all the columns when I create the table. The following code works for me to create the table which is just a matrix with one Integer column as the key and the rest as type Double.
It is not ideal in all scenarios because the table columns cannot be added dynamically via a procedure at a later point. This table has 27K columns now
Of course one of the advantages of a flex table would be programmatically adding columns dynamically. This works, but maybe there is still a way to add columns dynamically from a procedure, and someone else can advise.
Apparently dynamically adding columns via procedures may have some "minor" limitations due to the need to compile the procedure with knowledge of the flex table DDL. But again, hopefully someone knows another solution.
Best regards,
Mark

Nsert/Update and Add Column at the same Table and at the "same" Time

Hello,
I want Insert/Update and Add Column at the same Table and at the "same" Time but in different sessions.
Example:
At first the "insert/update" statement:
Insert into TestTable (Testid,Value) values (1,5105);
After that the "add" statement:
Alter table TestTable add TestColumn number;
- sadly now I get the message: ORA-00054: resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified
"insert/update" statement:
Insert into TestTable (Testid,Value) values (2,1135);
After that the execute commit.
I don't know when the first session set the commit statement so I want that the DB the "Alter Table..." statement execute if it's possible.
If it's possible I want to save a repeat loop with the "Alter Table..." statemtent.
Thanks for ideas

Well I want to walk in the rain without and umbrella and still stay dry, but it ain't gonna happen.
You can't run a DDL statement against a table with transactions pending. Session 2 has to wait until session commits or rollbacks (or until the session is killed). That's just the way it is.
This makes sense if you think about it. The data dictionary has to be consistent across all sessions. If session 2 was allowed to change the table structure whilst session 1 has a pending transaction then the database is in an inconsistent state. This is easier to see if you consider the reverse situation - the ALTER TABLE statement run by session 2 does a DROP COLUMN TESTID rather than adding a column: now what should happen to session 1's INSERT statement? You have retrospectively invalidated a statement that was perfectly legal when it was executed.
If it's possible I want to save a repeat loop with the "Alter Table..." statemtent.Fnord.
Cheers, APC

How to add columns for existing table dynamically?

Hi,
I created table structure only. I want to add columns for this existing table. Columns are not fixed, according to the user choice i need to write code.
Plz give me reply asap.
Thanks
Shirisha

Hi Shirisha,
I think the following code snippet will help you.
int l_no_cols = 0;
//Get the number of columns in this variable, something like the following
//l_no_cols = wdContext().currentContextElement().get<Context_attribute_name>;
IWDTable l_tab;
IWDTransparentContainer l_tbl_cont = (IWDTransparentContainer)view.getElement("TableDataCont");//ID of Container
l_tab = (IWDTable)view.getElement("TableData");//ID of Table
l_tab.setVisible(WDVisibility.VISIBLE);
l_tab.bindDataSource(wdContext.nodeTable_Data().getNodeInfo());
for(int a = 1; a <=l_no_cols; a++)
//Creating the column
IWDTableColumn l_tab_col = (IWDTableColumn)view.createElement(IWDTableColumn.class,"COL"+a);
//Creating Caption for Column Header
IWDCaption l_tab_cap = (IWDCaption)view.createElement(IWDCaption.class,"Caption"+a);
l_tab_cap.setText("Col"+i);
l_tab_col.setHeader(l_tab_cap);
//Creating Table Cell Editor for column
IWDInputField l_tab_cell = (IWDInputField)view.createElement(IWDInputField.class,"CellEditor"+a);
//creating context node attribute for the column dynamically
wdContext.nodeTable_Data().getNodeInfo().addAttribute("Col"+i,"com.sap.dictionary.String");
l_tab_cell.bindValue(wdContext.nodeTable_Data().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("Col"+i));
l_tab_col.setTableCellEditor(l_tab_cell);
l_tab.addColumn(l_tab_col);
l_tbl_cont.addChild(l_tab);
