WHY?? The goal of any database, not just SQL, is to reduce redundancy in
data. You want to increase it!! If this was a woodworking forum, you would be asking how to vut off your own fingers with
a power tool because a hand saw is too slow.

Create a table in SQL Server, Export tables from Microsoft Excel to Microsoft SQL Server, Populate the created table

Hello team,
I have a project that I need to do, what is the best approach for each step?
1- I have to create a table in Microsoft SQL Server.
2- I have to import data/ tables from Microsoft Excel or Access to Microsoft SQL Server. Should I use Microsoft Visual Studio to move data from Excel or Access?
3-I should populate the created table with the data from the exported data.
4-How should I add the second and third imported table to the first table? Should I use union query?
After I learn these, I will bring up the code to make sure what I do is right.
Thanks for all,
Guity

Hello Naomi,
I have imported all the tables into SQL Server,
I created a table:
CREATE
TABLE dbo.Orders
Now I want to populate this table with the values from imported tables, will this code take care of this task?
INSERT INTO dbo.Orders(OrderId, OrderDate)
SELECT OrderId, OrderDate
FROM Sales.Orders
UNION
SELECT OrderId, OrderDate
FROM Sales.Orders1
Union
SELECT OrderId, OrderDate
FROM Sales.Orders2
If not, what is the code?
Please advise me.

Error while creating datasource from table MBEWH

Hi all,
I am facing an error message while creating datasource from table MBEWH
"Invalid extract structure template MBEWH of DataSource "; This operation failed, because the template structure quantity fields or currency fields, for example, field LBKUM refer to a different table.
Can anyone help me that why system is not allowing me to generate generic datasource for table MBEWH to transfer my month wise inventory data.
thanks and regards.

Hi Zakir,
      This was comming for classification data... when ever you want to extract some classification related data then we can't create generic datasources directly.. for that you need to go with CTBW ( tcode ) and   create one datasource...
   so, you need to check that   related table also.. for that MBEWH table..
    ALL THE CLASSIFICATION RELATED DATASOURCES WE CAN'T CREATE DIRECTLY... JUST LIKE AUSP table also.. liek this..
regards
@jay

hi
what are the apps version local and remote database???
Snapshot too old errors occur because Oracle can 't reconstruct a consistent
image of a block for the purposes of a consistent read.
I feel at remote database, you are using UNDO, it will be rather easy to iincrease the undo retention time or increase the undo tablespace size.. if you are dealing with roll back segments, you may have rollback segments whose optimal values are too small...
increase roll back segments size and select again then
the following metalink notes might be helpful

How to create XML from relational tables based on an XML Schema ?

There is no automated way in Oracle XML DB to define an automatic mapping between a set of columns in some existing relational tables and the elements and attributres defined by an XML Schema.
However it is easy solve this problem by using the SQL/XML operators (XMLAGG, XMLELEMENT, XMLFOREST, XMLATTRIBUTES, etc) to generate XML documents that are compliant with an XML Schema directly from a SQL statement.
If the XML Schema is registered with Oracle XML DB and the appropraite Schema Location information is added into the generated document using XMLAttributes then it becomes very easy to ensure that the generated documents are valid.
The following example show an easy way to do this by creating an XML View that contains the documents to be validated.

There is no automated way in Oracle XML DB to define an automatic mapping between a set of columns in some existing relational tables and the elements and attributres defined by an XML Schema.
However it is easy solve this problem by using the SQL/XML operators (XMLAGG, XMLELEMENT, XMLFOREST, XMLATTRIBUTES, etc) to generate XML documents that are compliant with an XML Schema directly from a SQL statement.
If the XML Schema is registered with Oracle XML DB and the appropraite Schema Location information is added into the generated document using XMLAttributes then it becomes very easy to ensure that the generated documents are valid.
The following example show an easy way to do this by creating an XML View that contains the documents to be validated.

Create table from external data with dates

I have a CSV that looks somewhat like this:
abcuser,12345,5/12/2012,5,250.55
xyzuser,67890,5/1/2012,1,50
ghjuser,52523,1/1/1900,0,0
When I create the external table, then query it I get a date error:
CREATE TABLE xtern_ipay
userid VARCHAR2(50),
acctnbr NUMBER(20, 0),
datelastused DATE,
number_rtxns NUMBER(12, 0),
amtused NUMBER(12, 0)
organization external ( TYPE oracle_loader DEFAULT directory "XTERN_DATA_DIR"
ACCESS parameters (
records delimited BY newline fields terminated BY "," )
location ('SubscriberStatistics.csv') ) reject limit UNLIMITED;
Error I see in the reject log:

Any ideas on this? I know I need to tell oracle the format of the date on the external file, but I can't figure it out.

Try this:

select * from xtern_ipay;

Sorry I had to correct the previous statement again for the date format and for the column amtused that was defined without decimals.

wrong date format mm/dd/yy instead of dd/mm/yy

Fixed again the date format and the amtused defined with 2 decimals

Create Table Temp As Select * from Table

What happens in the backend (performance point of view) when we create a table as follows:
Create Table Temp As Select * from Table1;
Suppose that the table Table1 has 10 million rows.
How is this different from inserting 10 million rows using Insert Statement in a script etc. into Temp table.
i.e. insert into temp values(1, 'description', sysdate);

>
Create Table Temp As Select * from Table1; is always faster than inserting different rows using insert scripts.
>
Incorrect - not sure where you got that information.
The two things being talked about that can affect performance are the use of direct-path loads and whether those loads are logged.
It makes no difference if the table is created first and then loaded using INSERT or if a CTAS is used to do both.
A traditional INSERT can use the APPEND hint to perform a direct-path load.
>
Cretae table Temp As select * from Tabl1 does not generate logging to the database.Also as datatypes are determined automatically ,there is less work up front.
>
The statement that CTAS 'does not generat logging' is incorrect. Whether logging is generated depends on whether the table is in LOGGING or NOLOGGING mode. A CTAS does not automatically, on its own bypass logging.
To bypass logging and existing table can be set to NOLOGGING mode
ALTER TABLE myTable NOLOGGINGAnd for CTAS the mode can be specified as part of the statement
Create table Temp NOLOGGING As select * from Tabl1;

I can't create table from another table?

Hi everyone!
I have a problem that I don't known the reason why?
I'm using Oracle version 8i and I want to create a table from another table, such as:
     CREATE TABLE a_backup as SELECT * FROM a => It's OK, table a_backup is created.
But there is only a table that I can't created like that, such as:
     CREATE TABLE b_backup AS SELECT * FROM b;
When I run over command, SQL Plus is not responding... and clients are can't access to DB or Executing forever
This is the first time I met this problem.
Can Anyone help me to resolved it?
Thanks in advance!

Create table from query in Form

I want to create table in Form 6i, on form I have :sdate , :edate and :dpt Item.
PROCEDURE TableView IS
BEGIN
FORMS_DDL('drop table test');
declare
v_com varchar2(4000);
BEGIN
V_COM := 'Create table test as
select * from emp
where hiredate between :sdate and :edate
and deptno = :dpt
FORMS_DDL(V_COM);
end;When I was tried in TOAD It is showing error
ORA-01036: illegal variable name/number
Edited by: Ahmed on Oct 19, 2011 11:11 PM

you can't use bind variables within forms_ddl. An option would be to not do any ddl at all, and do something like this:
delete from test;
insert into test(a,b,c)
select a,b,c from emp
where hiredate between :sdate and :edate
and deptno = :dpt;cheers

"Create Table from select Query" Vs "Insert into"

Hi
Schenaio:
My Select Query returns more than 10 million records, these records needs to be inserted into another table.
Approach 1:
I created table called TABLE1, and inserted the records using INSERT statement as a batch (batch size is 5000).
Approach 2:
I create table like,
CREATE TABLE TABLE1 AS <SELECT QUERY>
Here Apporach-1 took almost 40 minutes to complete the insert but Approach-2 took only 6 minutes.
If anybody knows why it is? And is there any way to improve the performance of Approach-1?.
Thanks
Nidhi

Most "batch" methods execute the same query multiple times. Row filtering is done after the rows are fetched from the source. The process of fetching all the rows could be a FullTableScan.
Therefore, a FullTableScan is executed for each batch of 5000 rows.
However, your query and batch definitions may well be different. We haven't seen the query and the execution plan.
Another point : How are you "filtering" the rows (i.e the second execution inserts rows 5001 to 10000 and does not attempt to reinsert rows 1 to 5000) ?
What is the overhead imposed by the filter ? (does the third execution have to exclude rows 1 to 10000 and inserts rows 10001 to 15000 and so on)

How to create partition from one table to another?

Hi,
Can any one help me in this :
I have copied table from one schema to another by using the following command. The table is around 300 GB in size and the partitions are not copied. Now i got a request to create partitions in the destination table similar to the source table.
CREATE TABLE user2.table_name AS SELECT * FROM user1.table_name;
I am using Oracle 9i database. This is very urgent, could any one please suggest me how can i create the partitions in user2 table as user1 table.

If you have the TOAD/ SQL DEVELOPER , get the partition DDL from the source table and execute it in the newly created table.
or you can use DBMS_METADATA:
SET LONG 10000
SELECT dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE', 'TEST')
FROM DUAL;
Thanks,

Create table from another db

Basically, I need to create a table from a query that runs against another db on a separate box. Is this possible?
Thanks

If you're able to create a database link to the other server you could then use the query(modifying the tables in the from clause to use the dblink) in a create table statement.

Create table from another table including constraints

Hi,
Is there a way to create a table from another table including constraints.
CREATE TABLE COPY_EMP
as
SELECT *
FROM EMP
WHERE 1 =2 ;
This creates the table, but the constraints are not copied over.
I was reading about DBMS_REDEFINITION - can that be used for this scenario ?
Thanks!
Anand

>
I tried that, but the constraint names are posing a problem. And unfortunately our constraints are not named in a standard, so am finding it difficult to replace them.
Was just wondering if there were any simpler approach to this.
>
No - there isn't.
You will have to use new names for the constraints. That usually means extracting the DDL and manually changing the constraint names.

How to create table from method

Hello -
Could anyone please tell me how can I create af:table with more than one column from an AppsModule method.
When I have a 1d array return eg:
public String[] createTable(){
String[] str = new String[1];
return str;
I can drop it as a table and one column gets created. But how can I get mutiple columns in a table. I want to write a method, which when dropped on jsp page create table with multiple columns.
I am using ADF 11g.
Please suggest.
Regards -
Rohit

Hi,
for this you use an array or array list of objects. The object represent the row content, e.g. Person. The Person class then has setter/getter for each of the properties that you want to show in a column

How to create table from another in pl/sql

Hi I need to create a table from another in pl/sql
How can I do this

The proper way to do this, is not to do it in PL/SQL. But do it in SQL, something like:
create table tbl
as
select *
from other_tbl;Doing it in PL/SQL is really slow compared to SQL.
Yes, if you really want to create a table using PL/SQL then you will need to use DBMS_SQL or EXECUTE IMMEDIATE (Native Dynamic SQL) to do this.
