Creating first number in a sequence field

Hello. I'm used to SQL Server and I see there is no direct way to create identity fields in Oracle.
I have an application that receive many messages that are inserted in a table. I need that to be the fastest I can do it. The table has a sequence number as primary key. Now, I'm using select max(id)+1 in the insert query, but this works after the second time it's executed.
When the table is empty, max(id) is null. I don't want to do a second query in the code, because it will happen only once.
How can I solve that in the most efficient way?
In SQL Server I work with stored procedures and functions. Can I do that in Oracle?

What you are doing - using MAX(id) + 1 - is bound to fail in a multi user environment. If two users are doing the same thing and their transactions overlap, you get invalid or inconsistent data. In Oracle, you use a sequence object. Create a trigger that fills this id for you with the sequence.nextval. Granted, you'll get gaps but that doesn't matter.

How to create a Number range?

Hi,
How to create a number range for a field to give our own number for a field?

Hello,
Go to transaction SNRO.
Take a look at these: [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/840ad679-0601-0010-cd8e-9989fd650822#q-13] and [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/7b/6eb2aa7aed44ea92ebb969e03081fb/frameset.htm]

How to use SNRO to create daily number range?

Dear all,
I would like to know how to use SNRO to create a daily number range.
We would like to have the following sequence. The first 8 digits are date and the last 2 digits are number sequence. Each day, the last 2 digits will start from 01 again. i.e. <8-digits date><2-digit sequence>
For example, today is 22 May 2006,
2006052201
2006052202
2006052203
Tomorrow will have sequence like this:
2006052301
2006052302
2006052303
Thanks!

Thomas,
I don't there is a automated way of doing as the dates do NOT follow a numbering sequence. What you can do is to create a number range for getting the last two digits every day and manually concatenate the date with the serial number.
However, as you have to reset the counter every day that might be a issue.

Ravi

How to get operation/activity number in correct sequence

hi all,
in Tcode CA03, we can see the first column "operation number" come in sequence.
0010     INSTRUCT
0020     STAGE
0030     SMT1
0040     SMT2
0050     ROUTING
0060     TEST1
0070     QC
0080     LBLPACK1
0090     FQA-TEST
0100     FINALQA
0110     QCE
However when query in the z report on table PLPO,
it would appear something like the following:
10     10000185     INSTRUCT
20     10000212     STAGE
30     10000178     SMT1
40     10000199     SMT2
110     10000407     QCE
10     10000197     ROUTING
20     10000205     TEST1
30     10000195     QC
40     10000188     LBLPACK1
50     10000315     FQA-TEST
60     10000180     FINALQA
those number comes after 110 is maintained in "reference operation set". it has inserted in between
SMT2 and QCE in CA02.
Please advise how to get the correct sequence in the z program through table PLPO. Or any other table with the entries maintained properly.
thanks .

The document is confusing indeed. Here's what to do:
Since you already have Adobe Reader 9.4 installed (distributed via GPO), all you need to do is create an administrative installation point (AIP) for version 9.4.1 so you can deploy it to upgrade version 9.4.
Here's an example:
- Copy AdbeRdr940_en_US.msi (the 42MB MSI installation file) and AdbeRdrUpd941_all_incr.msp (the 3.24MB patch) to C:\Temp folder
- Create a new subfolder under C:\Temp folder (let's call it AdbeRdr941)
- Run this command:
msiexec /a C:\Temp\AdbeRdr940_en_US.msi
- When prompted, specify target drive C:\Temp\AdbeRdr941
- When the above process completes, run the following command to slipstream version 9.4.1 into 9.4.0:
msiexec /a C:\Temp\AdbeRdr941\AdbeRdr940_en_US.msi /p C:\Temp\AdbeRdrUpd941_all_incr.msp
Note: the above AdbeRdr940_en_US.msi in folder C:\Temp\AdbeRdr941 file size is about 3.8MB
- When prompted, once again the target is C:\Temp\AdbeRdr941
When the process completes, copy C:\Temp\AdbeRdr941 folder to a shared network folder and create a new GPO to distribute the new version. Hope that helps.

Sql loader how import a file with save the actual row number in a db field

but if one of the when clause faild or some rows are
rejectet the sequence is not right.Did you read the link?
"If a record is rejected (that is, it has a format error or causes an Oracle error), the generated sequence numbers are not reshuffled to mask this. If four rows are assigned sequence numbers 10, 12, 14, and 16 in a particular column, and the row with 12 is rejected, the three rows inserted are numbered 10, 14, and 16, not 10, 12, and 14. This allows the sequence of inserts to be preserved despite data errors. When you correct the rejected data and reinsert it, you can manually set the columns to agree with the sequence."
also if you read multiple lines and they inserted in
the wrong order the number from the sequence is not
the line number...what do you mean with "reading multiple lines and wrong order?"

How can I pull info into a report using just the first two characters of that field?

I am trying to pull a total cost based upon locations in a particular area(s). Can I get the formula to just do this based on the first two characters of that field?
Here is what I have so far:
if {PACKED.LOCATIONS.NEXT OPERATION} = ["xx"] THEN {Job.Total_Price}
Packed locations is a table I'm pulling from and the column I want just the first two digits is the the Next operation. Once this meets the "xx" (whatever location) then give me the total price from the Job table.
This works for one or two orders, but then blows up when I do 10 or so.

Hi Steve, assuming that Next Operation is a string field...
Create a new formula and place it in the field where you see the {Job.Total_Price} field (Detail or Group depending on your report) with the formula:
whileprintingrecords;
global numbervar TotalValue;
if len({? Replace me}) <= len({PACKED.LOCATIONS.NEXT OPERATION}) then(
if left(ucase({PACKED.LOCATIONS.NEXT OPERATION}),len({? Replace me})) = ucase({? Replace me}) then
TotalValue := TotalValue + {Job.Total_Price}
TotalValue;
You can go ahead and suppress that field.
Create a new formula to place where you want to view the summary using the formula:
whileprintingrecords;
global numbervar TotalValue;
This method allows for a higher degree of flexibility and you can search for the first x characters of that field instead of only the first 2 characters

Default latest created PO Number in the screen

Hi,
I have one Z program developed for PO print.
It is very much similar to standard ME9F transaction / program.
In ME9F transaction, as soon as we execute a transaction. The latest created PO number will appear onthe PO document filed.
The same is expected to do in Z developed print transaction.
Becaz it won't display newly / latest created document number.
Any one helps me how to make a field with the default value of newly created PO document number.
Your help is appreciated and Awarded suitably for helpful answers.
Thanks in advance.

Error when creating a Number Range

When I use transaction ZNRO to create a number range, I get an error message:
"Invalid call sequence for interfaces when recording changes".
All I did was enter the text and a domain for the numbers. There was an earlier error regarding buffering. It said that I should not use buffering for accounting documents. I am not using this for accounting documents and do not care if numbers get skipped. So I continue through that error.
But after that, the "Invalid call sequence . . ." error pops up.
I searched this forum generally, and with portions of the error text, and do not find any discussion of problems creating number ranges.
The number range I'm created is very simple. I just need "one up" numbers for a custom database used to store custom schedule information.
I'm at release 4.6c.

Here is the error message and text.
I have no idea what it means by "interfaces".
When at release 3.1i, I had no trouble creating number ranges.
<b>Message no. TK 425

First character typed in a field disappears

After having navigated into a field (alpha, date or number) either by a mouse click or by tabbing, the first character typed into the field disappears. No trigger is fired (checked with Tools->Preferences->Runtime tab->Debug messages chacked).
If there is already some data in the field, I can reposition the caret, but the first character typed forces the caret to go to the beginning of the field and the character typed disappears.
Behaves similarly in forms 6 and forms 9.
Any ideas about the reason?

Hi,
I get this a lot too. It is, as you say when it has been left for a short while and you go to type and it misses the first letter. There was an update for a keyboard issue recently from Apple but it did not seem to cure this problem for me. It is completely intermittent though. Sometimes it's ok, like now, and others it is bad. Cheers.

Create a foreign key from a field that is part of a mulitple primary key

Hi,
i had a table named T_A, with a double primary key : (A,B)
Then i created a table named T_B with a field : C.
I want this field T_B.C to take only values that already exist in field T_A.A.
So i tried to create a foreign key on my field T_B.C, pointing on the field T_A.A : an error message appeared "not possible to create a foreign key on a field that is not a primary key".
How can i solve this....? If U have any idea, please mail me !!
THANX very much.
