After triggers on the same table

Hello,
i'm looking for some samples of after triggers which run on the
same table.
A stupid example could be to calculate the number of lines of my
table after a delete event to stock it in each of my rows.
I would like an example to do that with a row level trigger and
also with a statement level trigger.
Thank's in advance

You can only do what you have asked for in a statement trigger.
create or replace trigger t_as
after delete on t
declare
v_count pls_integer;
begin
select count(*)
into v_count
from t;
update t
set row_count = v_count; -- update each row
end;

Two triggers in the same table and event

If I created two triggers on the same table and event (before insert), which of them will be triggered first ?...
The problem from the beginning is that I created the second one as after insert and in the body of the trigger I wrote (:new.xxx:= value) ... then an error (that it should be before insert trigger or update trigger), so I created it as before update ,,, but I have already before update trigger (for primary key)..... and the problem -I think- which of them start first...
Can make the second one as after insert and make update statement instead of assigning (:new.xxx:= value).....
Regards

If I created two triggers on the same table and event
(before insert), which of them will be triggered
first ?...As already mentioned, prior to 11g the order of firing is undetermined.
The problem from the beginning is that I created the
second one as after insert and in the body of the
trigger I wrote (:new.xxx:= value) ... then an error
(that it should be before insert trigger or update
trigger), so I created it as before update ,,, but I
have already before update trigger (for primary
key)..... and the problem -I think- which of them
start first...If there is a conflict of interest inside the code then you will have to alter your design principle around this to cater for it. Also consider combining the code into a single before insert trigger to prevent any confusion.
Can make the second one as after insert and make
update statement instead of assigning (:new.xxx:=
value).....Attempting to update or query the same table as is causing the trigger to fire will result in a mutating table error. You can't do this.

Data of column datatype CLOB is moved to other columns of the same table

Hi all,
I have an issue with the tables having a CLOB datatype field.
When executing a simple query on a table with a column of type CLOB it returns error [POL-2403] value too large for column.
SQL> desc od_stock_nbcst_notes;
Name Null? Type
OD_STOCKID N NUMBER
NBC_SERVICETYPE N VARCHAR(40)
LANGUAGECODE N VARCHAR(8)
AU_USERIDINS Y NUMBER
INSERTDATE Y DATE
AU_USERIDUPD Y NUMBER
MODIFYDATE Y DATE
VERSION Y SMALLINT(4)
DBUSERINS Y VARCHAR(120)
DBUSERUPD Y VARCHAR(120)
TEXT Y CLOB(2000000000)
NBC_PROVIDERCODE N VARCHAR(40)
SQL> select * from od_stock_nbcst_notes;
[POL-2403] value too large for column
Checking deeply, some of the rows have got the data of the CLOB column moved in another column of the table.
When doing select length(nbc_providercode) the length is bigger than the datatype of the field (varchar(40)).
When doing substr(nbc_providercode,1,40) to see the content of the field, a portion of the Clob data is retrieved.
SQL> select max(length(nbc_providercode)) from od_stock_nbcst_notes;
MAX(LENGTH(NBC_PROVIDERCODE))
162
Choosing one random record, this is the stored information.
SQL> select length(nbc_providerCode), text from od_stock_nbcst_notes where length(nbc_providerCode)=52;
LENGTH(NBC_PROVIDERCODE) | TEXT
-------------------------+-----------
52 | poucos me
SQL> select nbc_providerCode from od_stock_nbcst_notes where length(nbc_providerCode)=52;
[POL-2403] value too large for column
SQL> select substr(nbc_providercode,1,40) from od_stock_nbcst_notes where length(nbc_providercode)=52 ;
SUBSTR(NBC_PROVIDERCODE
Aproveite e deixe o seu carro no parque
The content of the field is part of the content of the field text (datatype CLOB, containts an XML)!!!
The right content of the field must be 'MTS' (retrieved from Central DB).
The CLOB is being inserted into the Central DB, not into the Client ODB. Data is synchronized from CDB to ODB and the data is reaching the client in a wrong way.
The issue can be recreated all the time in the same DB, but between different users the "corrupted" records are different.
Any idea?

Two LOVs in same UIX page based on the same table

Hi group,
Recently I ran into a problem with a UIX page that has two LOVs based on the same database table. In Emp and Job terminology, here's what I tried to do.
Suppose we have use the Employees and Jobs tables from the HR scheme with one small modification. Add a column called PREFERRED_JOB_ID of type VARCHAR2(10) which is exactly the same as JOB_ID. Hypothetically speaking, this column will be used to allow Employees to select their preferred job in case they want to change their jobs.
Next, create business components in JDeveloper based on the Employees and Jobs table. In order to be able to generate the LOVs for Job and PreferredJob create two ViewObjects, one called JobsLookupView and one called PreferredJobsLookupView. These both need to be based upon the same Jobs EntityObject. Also include the Jobs EntityObject twice in the EmployeesView ViewObject and give one the alias PreferredJobs. Include the JobTitle attributes of Jobs and PreferredJobs in EmployeesView so they can contain the JobTitles selected in our future LOVs.
Next create a ViewController project if it's not already there and enable JHeadstart on it. Create an Application Structure File and create the lookups for the two LOVs. When I run the application I see this happening:
When I click the flashlight icon next to the PreferredJob LOV and select a job, the PreferredJob field is selected in the UIX page but no job title appears. When I next first select the Job LOV and select a new job and then select the PreferredJob LOV again and select a different job, the job that was selected in the Job LOV is now also entered in the PreferredJob field. When I make sure the PreferredJob field isn't required (remove the required="yes" property on the messageLovInput entry for PreferredJobTitle and remove the PreferredJobTitle field from the addRequiredRowItems list in the UIX page) I can save the changes I made in the Employees.uix page. The same JobId is stored in the database for Job and PreferredJob.
This behaviour is probably due to cacheing issues because both LOVs and the EmployeesView ViewObject use one EntityObject for four values in three ViewObjects.
So I then modified my model a bit. I created a new EntityObject called PreferredJobs based on the JOBS table. I modified the EmployeesView ViewObject to use this EntityObject for the PreferredJobTitle attribute and modified the PreferredJobsLookupView to use this EntityObject.
I needed to modify a few things as well in the Application Structure File (which were prompts and whether or not the attribute should be visible in a table) and after regenerating I made sure the PreferredJob attribute isn't required in the UIX page. When I then run the application again, I never see the JobTitle I select in any LOV allthough the PreferredJob field is selected when I select a Job in the PreferredJob LOV. The correct JobId now is stored in the database though.
Has anyone ever encoutered this behaviour? Would anyone know how to get two LOVs based on the same table in one UIX page?
Thanks in advance,

OK I figured it out. When I added the second Lookup ViewObject (PreferredJobs) no additional Association was created. Therefore, ADF BC wasn't able to figure out which field to update. When I added the Association between the PreferredJobs Lookup ViewObject and the Employees ViewObject everything started working ok.
I then recreated my inital situation: one EntityObject for Jobs and one for Employees, now with two Associations between them. After modifying the Employees ViewObject and making sure the Jobs EntityObject was referred twice and via the corresponding Association, everything started working ok.

Trigger in mutation - Update another rows in the same table with a trigger

Hi ,
I try to do a before update trigger on a table , but the trigger is in mutation. I understand why it do that but my question is :
How can I update other rows in the same table when a UPDATE is made on my table??????

A standard disclaimer, the mutating trigger error is telling you that you really, really, really don't want to be doing this. It generally indicates a major data model problem when you find yourself in a situation where the data in one row of a table depends on the data in another row of that same table. In the vast majority of cases, you're far better off fixing the data model than in working around the problem.
If you are absolutely sure that you cannot fix the data model and must work around the problem, you'll need
- A package with a collection (or global temporary table) to store the keys that are modified
- A before statement trigger that initializes the collection
- A row-level trigger that adds the keys that were updated to the collection
- An after statement trigger that iterates over the data in the collection and updates whatever rows need to be updated.
If you're on 11g, this can be simplified somewhat by using a compound trigger with separate before statement, row-level, and after statement sections.
Obviously, though, this is a substantial increase in complexity over the single trigger you have here. That's one of the reasons that it's generally a bad idea to work around mutating table exceptions.

How to have concurrent CSV upload and manual edit in APEX on the same table

Hi there,
my users want to have csv upload and manual edit on apex pages functions together...
it means they want to insert the data by csv upload and also have interactive report and form on the same table...
so if user A changes something in csv file...then user B update or delete another record from apex fronted (manually in the apex form)...then after that user A wants to upload the csv file,the record was changed by user B would be overwritten ...
So how can I prevent it?????

Hi Huzaifa,
Thanks for the reply...
I'm going to use File Browser so that end users can upload the files themselves...
after editing data by users...a manger going to review it and in case of approval , i need to insert the data to one final table....
so it needs much effort to check two source tables and in case of difference between table of csv and other one...what to do...

Trigger to Update in the same table.

Hi,
I would like to create a trigger that when we insert into table ALL_CAPACITY_SNS_CELL1 it updates column Action on teh same table,if teher is an update, it will update the same table , column ACTION.
This is what I have attempted but seems to be technically wrong.
<pre>
create table ALL_CAPACITY_SNS_CELL1
( A varchar2,
action char(2),
date_executed date);
create or replace
TRIGGER ALL_CAPACITY_HISTORY_TRACKING
AFTER INSERT OR DELETE OR UPDATE ON ALL_CAPACITY_SNS_CELL1 FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
v_operation VARCHAR2(10) := NULL;
BEGIN
IF INSERTING THEN
v_operation := 'I';
ELSIF UPDATING THEN
v_operation := 'U';
ELSE
v_operation := 'D';
END IF;
IF INSERTING
UPDATE ALL_CAPACITY_SNS_CELL1
SET ACTION =v_operation,
DATE_EXECUTED =sysdate ;
ELSIF UPDATING THEN
UPDATE ALL_CAPACITY_SNS_CELL1
SET ACTION =v_operation,
DATE_EXECUTED =sysdate ;
END IF;
END;
</pre>

Updating values with in the same table for other records matching conditions

Hi Experts,
Sorry for not providing the table structure(this is simple structure)
I have a requirement where i need to update the columns of a table based on values of the same table with some empid and date match. If the date and empid match then i have take these values from other record and update the one which is not having office details. I need the update query
Before update my table values are as below
Sort_num     Emp_id   office      start_date
1                      101     AUS    01/01/2013

I do not have time to create the table with data but basically you should be able to code the following
update table a
set office = ( select office from table b where b.emp_id = a.emp_id
                                                             and     b.start_date = a.start_date
                                                             and     b.office is not null
where exists ( [same query as in set] )
and a.office is null
I believe that will do the trick.

Duplicate records in the same table

Hello.

Example:
id name start_date end_date
1 record_1 01.01.04 31.12.04
2 record_2 01.01.03 31.12.03
I want to duplicate record with the start_date year 04 and the duplicated record would change that start_date into year 05.
After duplicate it should look like:
1 record_1 01.01.04 31.12.04
2 record_2 01.01.03 31.12.03
3 record_1 01.01.05 31.12.05
How should my insert look like?
Thanks

Several FKs to the same table

Hello,
I have a master table with several Forign Keys all of them to the same table. In order to display a column from the lookup table I'm using a select like:
select     m.code,
     m.lcode1, f1.label,
     m.lcode2, f2.label,
     m.lcode6, f6.label
from      MTABLE m,
     FTABLE f1,
     FTABLE f2,
     FTABLE f6
Where      m.lcode1 = f1.code and
     m.lcode2 = f1.code and
     m.lcode6 = f6.codeIs this the correct and optimal way of doing it?
Thanks for the help,
Arie.

Arie,
It sounds like perhaps the best way might be to create your forms/reports based upon a view instead of the underlying tables (especially if you are running 10gR1 or 10gR2).
I say this because:
1. With 10g (maybe even back in 9i?), you can create INSTEAD_OF triggers, so instead of manipulating (insert, update or delete) the view, the trigger has the code to perform the action to the underlying base tables instead.
2. This makes development easier, since all your joins are pre-defined in one place instead of re-creating them in numerous places.
3. Grants can be issued to the views, instead of the various tables, with just select privs to the lookup tables.
4. Change your join conditions to use the JOIN syntax, LEFT OUTER JOIN, etc., whatever is appropriate for your query. It's much easier to (eventually) figure out and maintain when you have multiple join conditions (especially against multiple tables), when any or all of them could null.
For details on the JOIN syntax or the INSTEAD_OF triggers, try the on-line Oracle documentation (I'm at home today and don't have all my reference material handy).
I'm using the above with great success (so far). I'm swamped with different work projects and different bosses and different priorities, so anything that makes my life easier is worth a couple hours of research, even if I have to do it from home in my off-time (if I can fit it into my schedule). I've been working on an HTMLDB (AppEx) application for over a year now, but I've probably only spent about 40-60 hours actually working on it, so I'm always forgetting most of what I've previously learned and done.

Inserting into Table-in-Table after re-execution the Outer Table query

Hi Gurus,
I have a problem with inserting into Table-in-Table after re-execution the Outer Table query:
The problem:
I have two tables; both tables are based on VO; tables have a VL between them;
The Inner Table is hidden when page lode.
I'm executing the Outer Table, open the details to see the Inner Table, I can add rows to the Inner Table. Everything is OK.
But-
After I'm executing the Outer Table again –
Adding new rows to the Inner Table is not work anymore, despite I'm executing the Inner Table RowSet query.
Scenario is:
In processRequest():
In the processRequest() I'm calling executeQuery() of the Outer Table Only.
(So the Details executeQuery() will be done by VL and Its works fine.)
In processFormRequest():
User opens the details to see the Inner Table.
On some event, I'm executing the Outer Table query.
On some other event, programmatically I am inserting a new row to the Inner Table, and a new row is displayed in the Inner Table as I wanted.
In this way, one row after another, I can add as many rows as I wish, without any problem.
(This scenario should behave as same clicking on button of type "Add-Another-Row", just adding the row automatically)
The code for the inserting (as specified in the chapter "Classic Tables" --> "table-in-table"):
OARow newRow = (OARow) innerRowSet.createRow();
innerRowSet.insertRow(newRow);
innerRowSet.setRangeSize(innerRowSet.getRangeSize()+ 1);
innerRowSet.executeQuery();
If the user won't cause to re-execution of the outer table – no problem occurs.
* Should I add something after the Outer Table VO execution?
* Maybe to the inserting to the Inner Table code?
Please help…

Hi, Thanks.
I don't know which one of the Outer Table rows is the current row,
But-
Only the Details (the Inner Tables) who where opened before the executeQuery() of the Outer table are not acts as they should.
All the Details who where closed before the executeQuery() of the Outer table are still works fine.
Please advise.

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.

I'm using same apple id for my ipad & ipod but after start using the same apple id on my ipad, i can't update my free software downloaded on both, it's showing "YOU CAN NOT UPDATE THIS SOFTWARE SINCE YOU HAVE NOT OWNED THE MAJOR VERSION OF THIS SOFTWARE" so how i can update my softwares on ipad & ipod using the same apple id

I think the issue is that iTunes (for whatever reason) thinks I have two Apple ID's.
also, to further complicate the issue, when i try updating the apps from my iPod the iTunes store is still recognizing my old hotmail Apple ID. So when I go to enter my password it won't accept because it doesn't match with the old Apple ID, even though it is the same account (just new Apple ID name).
I have tried signing out within the App Store and re-signing in with my Apple ID but it still brings up my old Apple ID name when I try to update.

How do I sum across the same table in multiple sheets?

So I'm trying to figure out an annoying problem.
I have a largish (100's) amount of data with each collection being a table in a sheet, one sheet per data collection. This means I have 100's of sheets, each with the same table name and layout. Each sheet has several hundred data points in it.
How do I do a sum across all of the same table in all the sheets?
For example I want to do Sum('Data Sheet Number *'::'Table 1'::A1) to get a sum of everything in all the A1 cells of all the sheets named 'Data Sheet Number ' followed by anything (I'm using the star in the same way one would do it in a shell...)
Thanks!

To respond to WWJD: I was handed the data and I don't have any control over it's format...
I found the answer in the forums though, so I guess I'm answering my own question

The auto-filling INDIRECT reference worked very well for me.

After triggers on the same table
