Delete a range of rows in Oracle Table

How do i delete a range of values in Oracle Table using SQL Pus. For example i have iwanted to delete rows with user_id from 12344 ~ 12399

ustin thanks for the earlier help. Part of the requiremnt is met, now the tester can delete the rage of rows from 'dropbox', table. I am quiet not done in my second of the requirement. And that is pull the first 100 or 200 etc rows from the parent table (user_auth), and delete them from (dropbox). user_auth does not get affected. I able to user rank and dense_rank by create_time against user_auth table, and get the first 100 or 200 rows. However when join with dropbox, for example dropbox.user_id=user_auth.user_id. Query get hunged. I am not sure do i need to write a procedure for this, or a can be acieved by SQL. This is a test env.
SQL> desc user_auth
Name Null? Type
USER_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(10)

If I run
select user_id, create_time, rnk1 FROM
(select user_id, user_name, to_char(convert_unix_time(create_time)) create_time, DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY user_name) rnk1 from user_auth where user_name LIKE '%stomp%_%')
where rnk1 < 100
I get the result. How do i select these first 100 rows in the dropbox and delete them. relationship is many to many.

Display distinct rows from Oracle table without using "DISTINCT" keyword.

How to retrieve distinct rows from oracle table without using 'DISTINCT' keyword in SQL?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum.
Besides GROUP BY you can use UNIQUE instead of DISTINCT as well, but that's probably not wanted here ;) , and the ROW_NUMBER() analytic:

How to add a delete button on each row of the table.

i create a table with a list , and i add a new column.
and then i drag a delete botton from the list operation to the column.
when i create several rows. and click any delete botton of the new created rows. all the new created rows will be deleted.
rows that already exist when the page render are not influenced.and when i click these rows' delete botton,
just the current row will be delete.
that's because when i click the new created rows' delete botton,all the new created botton in this column will automatically be clicked.
i think adf consider all the delete botton are the same one.
is it the table bug? please tell me how to resolve this problem. thanks.

Finding duplicate ranges for rows in a table

Data in the table
ROW NUM ID A_FROM A_TO B_FROM B_TO
1 1 1 10 1 10
2 1 1 20 2 20
3 1 3 30 2 20
4 2 10 20 10 20
5 2 10 30 20 30
6 3 10 20 10 20
I want to identify rows based on "ID" columns which has overlaping range of data for column A and column B.
example
In above data based on ID 1 the row # 2 should be flagged due to the fact that col A_FROM and A_TO in row1 overlaps with row #1.
Also, row #3 should be flagged due to the fact that col B_FROM and B_TO in row2 overlapps with row #2.
Any help is appreciated.

Above table is being used to update another table based on ID column
Update Statement
Update table1 t
set t.rate = (select r.rate from rate_table r
where t.id = r.id and
(t.col_a between r.a_from and r.a_to) and
(t.col_b between r.b_from and r.b_to) )
where exists
(select 0 from rate_table r
where t.id = r.id and
(t.col_a between r.a_from and r.a_to) and
(t.col_b between r.b_from and r.b_to) )
This update would return error
"ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row"
This is due to the fact that while matching records against table TABLE1 to RATE_TABLE, the range for specific ID are overlapping.
My question.
How can I identity or avoid ORA-01427 error on the update statement? or how do i identity overlapping range records in RATE_TABLE?

How do I select a range of rows from an internal table in the debugger?

Hi,
I have a case where I wanted to delete a range of rows (several thousand) from an internal table using the debugger.
It seems that rows can only be selected one at a time by selecting (clicking) on the far left side of the row.
This is cumbersome, if not impossible when wishing to delete several thousand rows.
Other tools, such as Excel for example, allow for selecting a range of rows by selecting the first row and then holding the SHIFT key and selecting the last row and all rows in between will be selected.
I can't seem to find the combination of keys that will allow this in the table (or structure) tab of the debugger.
Is it possible to select a range of rows without having to select each row one at a time?
Thanks for your help,
Andy

While it's a Table Control and should/could have a button to select all fields (or visible fields)...I don't think we can do it right now...I know it's a pain to select each row one at a time...but I don't we have any more options...
Greetings,
Blag.

Remove a row from multiple tables

Hello,
I have a form that has what appears to be one table. Since I needed 30 columns (29 of them are single character fields) I had to use 2 table objects. Then I needed the ability to add and remove rows. Adding a row at the end is easy enough. Deleting a specific row is the problem. At the moment, I added a third table which has a header row and a item body row. the body row is a button with the intention of removing that entire row from the large table. This means it needs to remove the row from all 3 tables.
My structure is:
form1
(Some other flowed subform that doesn't matter for us)
SubformPersonnel (a flowed subform)
SubformHeader (a positioned subform)
TextOverallHeader (text to label the oeverall 3 tables)
ButtonAddRow (adds a row to the end of all 3 tables)
SubformPersonnelTable (a positioned subform)
ContractorTableRemove (a table with 1 column for the Remove button)
HeaderRow (A hidden row to align the table with the other 2)
Item (A row with the Remove button)CellRemoveButton (the cell with the remove button and associated JavaScript)
ContractorTableLeft (a table with the left 15 printed columns)
HeaderRow
Contractor (A row of data to be removed when CellButton above is clicked)
ContractorTableRight (a table with the right 15 printed columns)
HeaderRow
Contractor (A row of data to be removed when CellButton above is clicked)
(Some other flowed subforms that I am not worried about at the moment)
The 3 tables are aligned so the headers all line up, with no spaces between them. The body rows then line up and this looks like one large table. From left to right, they are:
ContractorTableRemove, ContractorTableLeft, ContractorTableRight
So Item and Contractor rows are added when ButtonAddRow is clicked in the overall header. The intial count is set to 8 for each table, so I get 8 rows at startup. The minimum count is set to 1 for each. I know that each row of each table has the same index number because I filled those into a cell in each table durig the cell's initialize. This line, in the CellRemoveButton's click event deletes that cell's row in that table:
this.parent.parent._Item.removeInstance(this.parent.index);
I have tried all sorts of ways to delete the same row (using same index #) in the other 2 tables: ContractorTableLeft and ContractorTableRight, but don't seem to be getting the correct syntax correct. I have tried hard coding the references, using .parent as shown below, and also tried using an index of 1 just to try deleting a row with no results.
     this.parent.parent.parent.ContractorTableLeft._Contractor.removeInstance(this.parent.inde x);
Can someone get me the correct syntax here?
I have seen examples of putting a hidden delete button on each table and clicking that, but I am concerned that it will get in the way of the tables on either side of the table it is in. I reeally want to just reference the row and remove it so I can avoid any problems these additional delete problems may cause.
I have copied the form to https://acrobat.com/#d=7M8R50rEHf4AaVXppwyKLw

Thank you, Niall. Much appreciated!
The Delete button was more to make sure one could delete these outside a button in the actual row and I see I had the index wrong such that I was deleting the second row and not the first. I had toyed with using this as a hidden button if I could pass the index to the event's function.
I had not thought of adding the reference to each row as a variable. It seems to work very well.
For future reference to others, here is the code from the cellRemoveButton click event:
     // Declare some variables
     var i = this.parent.index;
     var oContractorLeft = ContractorTableLeft.Contractor;
     var oContractorRight = ContractorTableRight.Contractor;
     // Remove this row by accessing its index within the set of 'Item' row instances of the parent table
     _Item.removeInstance(i);
      // Since this table is actually 3 tables, we need to remove the other two table's instances as well.
     // Their index should be the same, so we just need to get their names correct.
     oContractorLeft.instanceManager.removeInstance(i);
     oContractorRight.instanceManager.removeInstance(i);
      // removing the row doesn't trigger calculations in tables in the form's current target (fixed in later versions of Acrobat)
     // force calculations to fire so the ItemIndex field's value is updated according to the remaining row's indexes
     // see http://forms.stefcameron.com/2006/05/20/add-recalculate/
     xfa.form.recalculate(1);
Again, thank you!

Deleting rows from a table

COuld anyone tell me how to delete rows from a table which has millions of rows.
TIA,
Oracle user

if you are deleting all the rows, use "truncate table" in sql*plus.
or if you are deleting all but a handful of rows, then copy the rows you still want to a spare table, drop the original table, and rename the spare table back to the original table's name.
hope this helps

Deleting a row from parent table

Dear Guru's
I am having two table with parent - child relationship. My problem is when I am deleting a row from parent table the curresponding child row from child table also should be deleted.
My Primary table 'Employee, EMPID Primary key
Child table 'Privilage' inthis EMPID referencing the EMPID of Employee table
My need is when I am deleting a row from parent table the curresponding child row from child table also should be deleted
I issued the SQL query like,
delete from employee where empid='12345' cascade constraints;
Then it showing me error like,
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
Please resolve my issue , Its Top urgent
Thanks & Cheers

Choosing How Foreign Keys Enforce Referential Integrity
Oracle Database allows different types of referential integrity actions to be enforced, as specified with the definition of a FOREIGN KEY constraint:
Prevent Delete or Update of Parent Key The default setting prevents the deletion or update of a parent key if there is a row in the child table that references the key. For example:
CREATE TABLE Emp_tab (
FOREIGN KEY (Deptno) REFERENCES Dept_tab);Delete Child Rows When Parent Key Deleted The ON DELETE CASCADE action allows parent key data that is referenced from the child table to be deleted, but not updated. When data in the parent key is deleted, all rows in the child table that depend on the deleted parent key values are also deleted. To specify this referential action, include the ON DELETE CASCADE option in the definition of the FOREIGN KEY constraint. For example:
CREATE TABLE Emp_tab (
    FOREIGN KEY (Deptno) REFERENCES Dept_tab
        ON DELETE CASCADE); Set Foreign Keys to Null When Parent Key Deleted The ON DELETE SET NULL action allows data that references the parent key to be deleted, but not updated. When referenced data in the parent key is deleted, all rows in the child table that depend on those parent key values have their foreign keys set to null. To specify this referential action, include the ON DELETE SET NULL option in the definition of the FOREIGN KEY constraint. For example:
CREATE TABLE Emp_tab (
    FOREIGN KEY (Deptno) REFERENCES Dept_tab
        ON DELETE SET NULL);
SQL> conn scott/tiger
Connected.
SQL> create table ppk ( no number primary key);
Table created.
SQL> begin for inn in 1..10 loop insert into ppk values (inn); end loop; end;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> create table ffk ( no number references ppk(no));
Table created.
SQL> begin for inn in 1..10 loop insert into ffk values (inn); end loop; end;
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> drop table ppk cascade constraints;
Table dropped.Message was edited by:

Shrink Oracle Table after Deletion

A few database tables are very big. An Oracle table still holds the disk space occupied by deleted records according to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6540546/oracle-10g-table-size-after-deletion-of-multiple-rows. Re: shrink table after delete teaches the following commands to release the idle space from the table.
ALTER TABLE TABLE1 DEALLOCATE UNUSED;
ALTER TABLE TABLE1 ENABLE ROW MOVEMENT;
ALTER TABLE TABLE1 SHRINK SPACE;
ALTER TABLE TABLE1 MOVE;
1. Are the commands feasible?
2. Are they safe?
3. What will be the impacts of running the commands?
4. Is there any other workable safe approach shrinking a table?

Hi,
I advise using shrink table operation.
The tablespace which belong to your table must be in ASSM (Automatic segment space management) to use shrink.
Shrink is safe but you need to run two commands :
1)ALTER TABLE TABLE1 SHRINK SPACE COMPACT; (This is long operation which moves data, but can be done online)
2)ALTER TABLE TABLE1 SHRINK SPACE; (this is quick if you run SHRINK SPACE COMPACT before, it only shift the High Water Mark. Be carreful if you don't run SHRINK SPACE COMPACT before your table will be locked for a long time)
Another point, is that execution plans are calculed using the HWM so SHRINK the table (The 2nd command) will invalidate all the cursors in shared pool where the table is in. So execution plan need to be recalculated (often not a problem).

How to get last insert/update/delet row of a table?

I hava a table A and table B which is a copy of A. I want to create a trigger to record the changes of A in B. So every time inserting/updating/deleting A I record the row inserted/updated/deleted in B, But I can't find a effiencial way to get the latest row changed.
So is there any sys_var in oracle table like cur_rowid or something to record the latest inserted/updated/deleted in a table? I don't want to check a index or a table to get the max_seq_id again.

Connect role allows user to update/delete row of a table of another schema

I am using oracle 9i r2, I created a user and only give him CONNECT role. Then I opened the sqlplus and found that he could query table of another schema which doesn't belong to the new user, but the thing which scares me most is that when I tried to update/delete a row from a table of another schema, it succeeded. Also, I created a new role with system priviledges CREATE_SESSION and SELECT_ANY_TABLE then granted to new user and revoked the CONNECT role but the same thing happened like before. What I am doing wrong? By the way, I am trying to create a read only user. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks guys for the tips. I have forgotten to mention that this situation happened only in a new created schema which has only a table and the table was exported from another oracle db( I pre-created the user with connect role and assign the tablespace etc), the import worked fine. Then I used a read only user(in different schema) to update/delete row to the imported table.The read only user can't update/delete other schemas besides from the new one. Is that I missed something when importing the table or pre-create user, tablespace, etc? Thanks in advance.

Retrieve specific range data from oracle table

Hi, Dear friends,
I want to retrieve all the data from oracle table and then save them to mysql table using JDBC ResultSet. The problem is that some oracle table is too big, if I retrieve all of them to memory at a once time using excuteQuery, the program will become no response out of memory limitation. So my question is if I can retrieve just specific range data once a time. I can¡¯t find this function through JDBC API. Also, I don¡¯t want to use the specific sql sentence, for example ¡°select ¡ from¡ where someid>¡ and someid<¡¡±, because there are many different tables, I want to transfer them automatically. So I can¡¯t construct such sql sentence in advance. Does anyone know if oracle JDBC driver provide such kind of function or does there any other way?
Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated!
Sammy

Dear Justin,
thank you so much for your prompt reply!
as your suggestion, I do check the performance while my program is running, after the program become nearly no response, I found the memory usage is nearly 100%, while disk usage and process usage is pretty low. that's the reason why I guess maybe the memory limitation, but the strange thing is that no any error reported by JBuilder, it just nearly no response and don't transfer any data any more. my os is windows xp, the version of JBuilder is 7. my main memory is 768M. just as you said, the total 6,000 records in not very large, just no more than 400K. another strange thing is that why my program works well when there is little data records in the table.
the big picture of my program is first I retrieve oracle table metadata, according to this information, I construct DDL sql words and then create the corresponding table in mysql database. this part works well. in order to save your time, I will not paste the code here. then there is a method to transfer oracle data to mysql table, whenever creating the mysql table, then I will call this method to transfer datat to it. the following is the code of this method, I am very sorry to take your time. please read it when you are available.
thank you very much!!

How could I insert the deleted row into another table within a trigger?

Hi,
How could I insert the deleted row into another table within a trigger? The destination table has the same columns as the source table. Since the statements are in the trigger, it is not allowed to query the source table named 'test'. Thanks! The trigger is as follows, uncompleted:
CREATE TRIGGER delete_trigger
AFTER DELETE
ON test
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
-- How could I insert the deleted row into another table
END delete_trigger;

Hi,
I'm not sure what's wrong there.
I read the oracle docs about ANALYZE and ALL_TAB_COLUMNS, and did the following:
ANALYZE TABLE my_tab VALIDATE STRUCTURE; //went ok.
SELECT column_name
FROM all_tab_columns
WHERE table_name = 'my_tab'; //but no rows selected?
This topic might not be what this thread should be about. Here I posted a new thread:
How to get colum names of the newly created table?
Thanks.

Prevent user from deleting rows from all tables in his own schema

Hi,
How can I prevent user from deleting rows in all tables in his own schema.
I want the user to not able to delete rows from any existing or new tables that might be added in the future.
The user does not have the "DELETE ANY TABLE" system privilege.
Please advise.
Thanks.

Nowadays, I'd also avoid triggers (if possible).
Sometimes, when I daydream, I'm rewriting a few applications that I've contributed to as a newbie, and I'm very ashamed of it nowadays.
From what I've experienced, in retrospective, the emphasis on teaching 'Oracle stuff' has been lying far too much on PL/SQL row-by-row oriented processing instead of letting Oracle 'crunch' sets at once.
Most of my debugging hours ended up in discovering one or more database triggers 'doing stuff automagically'.
Another nice blogpost: http://rwijk.blogspot.com/2007/09/database-triggers-are-evil.html
Regarding OP's question:
I would just rethink/reconsider this requirement completely.
Correctly implementing privileges and roles seems the best way to go, yes.
Triggers? Nah...
pre-post-edit, noticed thread got updated just before posting
Don't know what you mean with 'namedropping', but I think it's legitimate to point other readers to interesting Oracle related opinions/articles that do have a technical background and lots of interesting examples.
post dreaded OTN outage edit (from here)
Again: I would just rethink/reconsider this requirement completely.
Both trigger/vpd are being used to hide a design flaw here.
