Adding Data From One Table to Another

Now, this doesn't strike me as a particularly complex problem, but I've either strayed outside the domain of Numbers or I'm just not looking at the problem from the right angle. In any case, I'm sure you guys can offer some insight.
What I'm trying to do is, essentially, move data from one table to another. One table is a calendar, a simple two column 'date/task to be completed' affair, the other is a schedule of jogging workouts, i.e, times, distances. Basically, I'm trying to create a formula that copies data from the second table onto the first but only for odd days of the week, excepting Sundays (and assuming Monday as the start of the week). Now, this isn't the hard part, I can do that. The problem comes when I replicate the formula down the calendar. Even on the days when the 'if' statement identifies it as an 'even day', the cell reference to the appropriate workout on the second table is incremented, so when it comes to the next 'odd day', it has skipped a workout.
I can't seem to see any way of getting it to specifically copy the NEXT line in the second table, and not the corresponding line.
This began as a distraction to try and organise my running so I could see at a glance what I had to do that day and track my progress, but now it's turned into an obsession. SURELY there's a solution?
Cheers.

Hi Sealatron,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Numbers '09 forum.
Several possible ways to move the data occur to me, but the devil's in the details of how the data is currently arranged.
Is it
• a list of three workouts, one for each of Monday, Wednesday and Friday, then the same three repeated the following week?
• an open-ended list that does not repeat?
• something else?
Regards,
Barry

  • Moving time-dependant data from one table to another (archiving)

    Hello all
    I would like to know if there's an easier solution or a "best practice" to move data from one table to another. The context of this issue can be found within "archiving".
    More concretely: we have an application that uses several tables to log information to.
    These tables are growing like crazy, and we would like to keep only "relevant" data in those tables, so I was thinking about moving data from these tables that have been in there for, say 2 months, to "archiving" tables.
    I figured there must be some kind of "best practice" to get this done.
    I have already written a procedure that loops the table that has the time indicator and inserts the records from the normal tables into the archive tables (and afterwards delete this data), but it seems to be taking ages to get it done.
    Thanks in advance!

    There is nothing to do with PL/SQL.

    3) what should i do if i have records exising between the two dates

  • Append data from one table to another.

    Hi,
    I want to insert/append some or all the data from one table to another table.
    For eg: Data from table table1 to be appended to table2 with the same constraints, indexes etc. The columns are same for both the tables.
    I am using 10g version 2.
    Please specify which method would be good for this process.
    Thanks

    INSERT INTO TABLE1 SELECT * FROM TABLE2;The above command would insert data into table2 and it also contain the old data.Is that right,

  • MySQL move date from one table to another

    I was wondering if there is a MySQL command that will let me move a selected row of data from one table to another. both tables have the same columns and declaration type (one table is actually an archived table on old data)
    example
    I wasnt to move all data in Table1 where the date is greater than 30 days old to Table 2
    -- so the result should be...import all rows to Table 2 where the date is greater than 30 days old..and delete all date from Table 1 that is greater than 30 days.
    currently..I'm doing three process
    1) get all row that is greater than 30 days  
        "SELECT * FROM Table1 WHERE TO_DAYS(NOW()) - TO_DAYS(dateField) > 30"
    2) insert data into Table2
        while (res.hasNext())
              TableData data = ..... // .get row
              dataList.add(data);
              for (int i = 0; i < dataList.size(); i++){
                    pstm.setString.....
                    pstm.addBatch()
              pstm.executeBatch();
    3) delete data from Table1
        "DELETE FROM Table 1 WHERE  TO_DAYS(NOW()) - TO_DAYS(dateField) > 30"

    for this app..losing a few rows does not
    impact on how we analyze the data.That's what everyone always tells me too. But 99% of the time they come back and want to know why the cannot balance and/or validate the data between two runs taken only minutes from each other.
    I've seen people puzzle over data for days that they swear they ran the exact same utility for their tests, but they were in fact using live data, and additional data had accrued but since all they had to do was execute the a script without parameters (they didn't put in a stop time), they got two different answers and it always, and I mean always confuses people. Be safe, and put the option in for and end date/time, then when they waste days trying to figure out why the two different observations gave them different numbers, they cannot blame you (because you gave them the option)!
    My 2 cents for the day...

  • How to copy data from one table to another (in other database)

    Hi. I would like to copy all rows from one table to another (and not use BC4J). Tables can be in various databases. I have already 2 connections and I am able to browse source table using
    ResultSet rset = stmt.executeQuery("select ...");
    But I would not like to create special insert statement for every row . There will be problems with date formats etc and it will be slow. Can I use retrieved ResultSet somehow ? Maybe with method insertRow, but how, if ResultSet is based on select statement and want to insert into target table? Please point me in the right direction. Thanks.

    No tools please, it must be common solution. We suceeded in converting our BC4J aplication to PostgreSQL, the MSSQL will be next. So we want to write simple aplication, which could transfer data from our tables between these 3 servers.

  • Loading data from one table to another using cursor

    Hi,
    I have given the below command to load the data from 1 table to another using cursor.
    declare
    cursor mycursor IS
    SELECT extract_name,from_date,to_date,BETA from temp_table where EXTRACT_NAME='GIFTCARD_DETAILS';
    Begin
    for mycursor_1 IN mycursor loop
    insert into tmp_tab columns(col1,col2,col3,col5) values(mycursor_1.EXTRACT_NAME,mycursor_1.from_date,mycursor_1.to_date,mycursor_1.BETA);
    End loop;
    commit;
    end;
    It is working fine.
    But I want to hard code some of the columns ( like flags ) which are not there in 1st table and load them into 2nd table.
    In db2 we will give commands like
    varSqlStatus=`db2 "declare mycurs cursor for select extract_name,from_date,to_date,BETA,'N','Y' from temp_table"`
    varSqlStatus=`db2 "load from mycurs of cursor modified by identityignore insert into tmp_tab(col1,col2,col3,col5,col6,col7) nonrecoverable"`
    But I want it in oracle 10g, Can any one help me in this.

    Have you tried either of the two options :
    1. Modify the CURSOR itself :
    cursor mycursor IS
    SELECT extract_name,from_date,to_date,BETA,'N','Y' from temp_table where EXTRACT_NAME='GIFTCARD_DETAILS';2. Modify the INSERT statement itself :
    insert into tmp_tab columns(col1,col2,col3,col5,col6,col7) values(mycursor_1.EXTRACT_NAME,mycursor_1.from_date,mycursor_1.to_date,mycursor_1.BETA,'N','Y');

    Hi lassiegirl,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Numbers '09 forum.
    Apple provides two excellent resources that I recommend be downloaded by all Numbers users, the Numbers '09 User Guide and the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide. You'll find linke for both of them in the Help menu in Numbers.
    The first will give you an overview of Numbers and how it works—spend some time with the preface and the first chapter, browse the rest on a need to know basis when you're doing something new. The second is a reference, useful when you're trying to write a formula.
    To your question...
    You can copy the sum from one table to another.
    For the example formula beow, both Table 1 and Table 2 have one header row and one footer row, and a total of 21 rows each.
    If the SUM on Table 1 is in cell C21, and you want to include it in the SUM of column C in Table 2, you could transfer the sum to C1 in the header row of Table 2 with:
    C1:  =Table 1::C21
    In C21 of Table 2 (a Footer row), use any of these formulas:
    =SUM(C)+C1
    =SUM(Table 1::C)+SUM(C)
    =SUM(Table 1 :: C,C)
    The first calculates the sum of the cells in column C (of its own table—Table 2) and adds the value in C1, the total transferred from Table 1.
    The second returns the same result by calculating the sums of the two columns separately, then adding those sums.
    The third takes the single arguments of the two SUM statements in the second, and lists them as multiple arguments in a single SUM statement.

  • Copying large amount of data from one table to another getting slower

    I have a process that copies data from one table (big_tbl) into a very big archive table (vb_archive_tbl - 30 mil recs - partitioned table). If there are less than 1 million records in the big_tbl the copy to the vb_archive_table is fast (-10 min), but more importantly - it's consistant. However, if the number of records is greater than 1 million records in the big_tbl copying the data into the vb_archive_tbl is very slow (+30 min - 4 hours), and very inconsistant. Every few days the time it takes to copy the same amount of data grows signicantly.
    Here's an example of the code I'm using, which uses BULK COLLECT and FORALL INSERST to copy the data.
    I occasionally change 'LIMIT 5000' to see performance differences.
    DECLARE
    TYPE t_rec_type IS RECORD (fact_id NUMBER(12,0),
    store_id VARCHAR2(10),
    product_id VARCHAR2(20));
    TYPE CFF_TYPE IS TABLE OF t_rec_type
    INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
    T_CFF CFF_TYPE;
    CURSOR c_cff IS SELECT *
    FROM big_tbl;
    BEGIN
    OPEN c_cff;
    LOOP
    FETCH c_cff BULK COLLECT INTO T_CFF LIMIT 5000;
    FORALL i IN T_CFF.first..T_CFF.last
    INSERT INTO vb_archive_tbl
    VALUES T_CFF(i);
    COMMIT;
    EXIT WHEN c_cff%NOTFOUND;
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE c_cff;
    END;
    Thanks you very much for any advice

    Assuming that there is nothing else in the code that forces you to use PL/SQL for processing, I'll second Tubby's comment that this would be better done in SQL. Depending on the logic and partitioning approach for the archive table, you may be better off doing a direct-path load into a staging table and then doing a partition exchange to load the staging table into the partitioned table. Ideally, you could just move big_tbl into the vb_archive_tbl with a single partition exchange operation.
    That said, if there is a need for PL/SQL, have you traced the session to see what is causing the slowness? Is the query plan different? If the number of rows in the table is really a trigger, I would tend to suspect that the number of rows is causing the optimizer to choose a different plan (with your sample code, the plan is obvious, but perhaps you omitted some where clauses to simplify things down) which may be rather poor.

  • Inserting data from one table into another table using PL/SQL

    HI,
    I am trying to insert values from one table into another using PL procedure, the values I want to retrieve from the table riverside1 are charac_id and charac_type and insert these values into another table called riverside2 , the stored procedure zorgs_gorfs(x,y) accepts two parameters which are 2 charac_id's of d characters in riverside1 then using insert statements inserts these characters from riverside1 into riverside2.
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE zorgs_gorfs(x IN NUMBER, y IN NUMBER) AS
         BEGIN
              INSERT INTO riverside2
                   (charac_id)

    INSERT INTO riverside2
                   (charac_id)
              VALUES
                   (y);
          END zorgs_gorfs;
    /This works but the problem im having is that when I also try to insert the charac_type as well as the charac_id it doesnt work below is the code:
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE zorgs_gorfs(x IN NUMBER, y IN NUMBER) AS

          END zorgs_gorfs;
    /can someone kindly sort me out
