Delete command in SQLPLUS by use wrong column name command

Assume I have three table T1,T2 and T3 shown as follow...
sql> desc T1 ;
cusid number
name varchar2(50)
sql> select * from T1;
cusid name
1) 101 TEST1
2) 102 TEST2
3) 103 TEST3
4) 104 TEST4
sql>desc T2;
ref_cusid number
sql>select * from T2
cusid
1) 103
if I want to delete account in T1 that deleted account is in T2.
I must use query1 , it will work
query1::>
delete from T1 where cusid in (select ref_cusid from T2);
but if i type wrong by this command
query2::>
delete from T1 where cusid in (select cusid from T2);
in query 2,it should be have warning message because field cusid is not in T2.Right ? But it will delete all account in table T1.
compare query2 with query 3,
query3::>
delete from T1 where cusid in (select field_test from T2);
it will show warning message like 'ORA-00904: "FIELD_TEST": invalid identifier'
I noticed that in query2 and query3 , Different Thing is query 2 wrong column name in T2 has same name as column in T1. I wonder why it is.

I doubt very much if this is really what you did:
sql>desc T2;
ref_cusid number
sql>select * from T2
cusid
1) 103The desc command shows a column name ref_cusid. The select command shows a column title cusid, not ref_cusid.
You start by saying that you have 3 tables, without doing anything with T3. Are you sure you you haven't mixed up a copy and paste somewhere?

Multi Row Selector using Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only)

Hi,
I created a tabular report which had a multi row select in it - got the deleting working fine.
Am now creating a second tabular report, but because of the SQL:
select
"ID",
"ID" ID_DISPLAY,
"RESNUMBER",
"RESDESCRIPTION",
decode(RESTYPE,'R','Right Party','W','Wrong Party'),
decode(DMCFLAG,'Y','Yes','N','No'),
decode(SALEFLAG,'Y','Yes','N','No')
from "CALL_RESULTS"
I have to select the option Use Generic Column Names (parse query at runtime only) otherwise I cannot save the form.
My problem is I am now unable to add a multi row selector to the tabular form. If I do and run the form I get the following error - failed to parse SQL query: ORA-00904: "COL11": invalid identifier. Also when I go back and edit the form the multi row selector has been removed.
Can anyone tell me why I can't add a row selector like I previously could?
Regards
Simon

Arie,
I added aliases and to the decode columns, and I can now add a row selector to the form without any problems.
Thank you very much for your help.

APEX 4.0 "Use Generic Column Names" not working

Hi,
I have a report which is a SQL query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query) in APEX 4.0. For this region i have selected the option "Use Generic Column Names (parse query at run time only)".
For some reason when I run the page the browser just shows the error "The requested URL /apex/f was not found on this server". This happens only for the region type "SQL query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)" . If I choose the report region as SQL query and select the option "Use Generic Column Names (parse query at run time only)" That works fine. This happens only in APEX 4. Is it an apex 4 bug or am I missing something?
Thanks
Sashika.

Hi,
Just managed to get it running. The Apex 4.0 SQL query (PL/SQL function returning SQL) works just fine. I had a small error in the query itself. In the PL/SQL function I had a referenced page item whose value in the initial run is set to null which is making the fuzz. Just adding an NVL resolved the problem.

Please follow basic Netiquette and post the DDL we need to answer this. Follow industry and ANSI/ISO standards in your data. You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal data. We need
to know the data types, keys and constraints on the table. Avoid dialect in favor of ANSI/ISO Standard SQL. And you need to read and download the PDF for:

>> I need to select from a dynamic column name and save the result in a variable, but seem to be having trouble with the values being fed to sp_executesql <<
This is so very, very wrong! A column is an attribute of an entity. The idea that you are so screwed up that you have no idea if you want
the shoe size, the phone number or something else at run time of this entity.
In Software Engineering we have a principle called cohesion that says a model should do one and only one task, have one and only one entry point, and one and only one exit point.
Hey, on a scale from 1 to 10, what color is your favorite letter of the alphabet? Yes, your mindset is that level of sillyity and absurdity.
Do you know that SQL is a declarative language? This family of languages does not use local variables!
Now think about “month_val” and what it means. A month is a temporal unit of measurement, so this is as silly as saying “liter_val” in your code. Why did you use “sp_” on a procedure? It has special meaning in T-SQL.
Think about how silly this is:
SET @month_val = 'Month' + CAST(@month_nbr AS VARCHAR(2));
We do not do display formatting in a query. This is a violation of at the tiered architecture principle. We have a presentation layer. But more than that, the INTERVAL temporal data type is a {year-month} and never just a month. This is fundamental.
We need to see the DDL so we can re-write this mess. Want to fix it or not?

Database Querry error when using # in column name

I am using the Database toolkit to work with a MySQL database.
Some of the columns in the database have names with special characters:
Batch# and Employee#. The database tools give me an error when I
try to write data to those fields. I have tried square brackets
around the column name [Batch#] but that doesn't seem to help. Is
there a way to update these fields with the Database tools?

How to use the column names generated from Dynamic SQL

Hi,
I have a problem with Dynamic SQL.
I have written an SQL which will dynamically generate the Select statement with from and where clause in it.
But that select statement when executed will get me hundreds of rows and i want to insert each row separately into one more table.
For that i have used a ref cursor to open and insert the table.
In the select list the column names will also be as follows: COLUMN1, COLUMN2, COLUMN3,....COLUMNn
Please find below the sample code:
TYPE ref_csr IS REF CURSOR;
insert_csr ref_csr;
v_select VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_table VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_where VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_ins_tab VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_insert VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_ins_query VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
OPEN insert_csr FOR CASE
WHEN v_where IS NOT NULL
THEN 'SELECT '
|| v_select
|| ' FROM '
|| v_table
|| v_where
|| ';'
ELSE 'SELECT ' || v_select || ' FROM ' || v_table || ';'
END;
LOOP
v_ins_query :=
'INSERT INTO '
|| v_ins_tab
|| '('
|| v_insert
|| ') VALUES ('
|| How to fetch the column names here
|| ');';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_ins_query;
END LOOP;
Please help me out with the above problem.

I Built the statement as required but i need the column list because the first column value of each row should be inserted into one more table.
So i was asking how to fetch the column list in a ref cursor so that value can be inserted in one more table.

Then add a RETURNING INTO clause to the query to have Oracle return the first column values into a collection.

How to Select data using same column name from 3 remote database

Hi,
Can anyone help me on how to get data with same column names from 3 remote database and a single alias.
Ex.
SELECT *
a.name, b.status, SUM(b.qty) qantity, MAX(b.date) date_as_of
FROM
*((table1@remotedatabase1, table1@remotedatabase2, table1@remotedatabase3)a,*
*(table1@remotedatabase1, table1@remotedatabase2, table1@remotedatabase3)b)*
WHERE b.dept = 'finance'
AND a.position = 'admin'
AND a.latest = 'Y' AND (b.status <> 'TRM') AND b.qty > 0;
GROUP BY a.name, b.status ;
NOTE: the bold statements is just an example of what I want to do but I always gets an error beacause of ambiguous columns.
Thanks in advnce. :)

Each object must be uniquely identified. So you cannot do this:
select * from (table1@remotedatabase1, table1@remotedatabase2, table1@remotedatabase3) a3 objects cannot share the same alias. Example:
SQL> select * from (dual, dual) d;
select * from (dual, dual) d
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesisYou need to combine the objects - using a join or union or similar. So it will need to be done as follows:
SQL> select * from (select * from dual d1, dual d2) d;
select * from (select * from dual d1, dual d2) d
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00918: column ambiguously definedHowever, we need to have unique column names in a SQL projection - so the join of the tables need to project a unique set of columns. Thus:
SQL> select * from (select d1.dummy as dummy1, d2.dummy as dummy2 from dual d1, dual d2) d;
DUM DUM
X X
SQL> I suggest that you look closely at what scope is and how it applies in the SQL language - and ignore whether the objects referenced are local or remote as it has no impact to fundamentals of scope resolution.

Transpose Distinct Date and Use as Column name

All,
I am trying to transpose a distinct date and use it as a column name and list the data below it. My version of Oracle does not have the pivot function. Plus I am having trouble with figuring out how to alter the table name to the distinct date. Can someone provide me with logic that will dynamically take the current format (see below) and transpose it to the needed format (see below)?
Current format:
WEEK_END_DATE     RD     STORE_NUMBER     RANK
09-19-2009     R0011     00505     6

09-26-2009     R0068     03920     1
nth date
The format I need:

BUG: Wrong column name in View Object

Hello,
I've had this happen several times to me. I added an Entity Object to a View Object in the VO Wizard. I then went to the "Query" section and hit "Test" to test the SQL code generated by the VO Wizard. The test failed because the wizard had added an equality test (table1.col1 = table2.col2) to the WHERE part which used the wrong table name.
It is possible to manually fix this by putting the correct table name in the query, but you'd have to do this every time you make a change to the View Object.
What I did was to rebuild the View Object from scratch, and this time it correctly generated the SQL query. I was able to add some more Entity Objects, but then it happened again. This is really irritating because my View Object is fairly complex and it takes quite some time to remake it.
I can't give instructions on how to reproduce this because it only happens every so often. It would save a lot of frustration if someone could fix it though.
Hariolf

Hi Hariolf,
I was able to build this scenario and test the query with success. Here is the sql for the view object I created
from the following entities:
RootEO one to many association with Entity01
with Entity02
with Entity03
Entity01 one to many association with Entity04
All objects are included in the view object, here is the resulting generated sql:
SELECT RootEO.ROOTID,
RootEO.ATTR,
Entity01.EO1ID,
Entity01.ROOTID AS ROOTID1,
Entity04.EO4ID,
Entity04.ATTR AS ATTR1,
Entity02.EO2ID,
Entity02.ROOTID AS ROOTID2,
Entity03.EO3ID,
Entity03.ROOTID AS ROOTID3
FROM ROOTEO RootEO, EO1 Entity01, ENTITY04 Entity04, ENTITY02 Entity02, ENTITY03 Entity03
WHERE (((RootEO.ROOTID = Entity01.ROOTID)AND (Entity01.EO1ID = Entity04.ATTR))AND
(RootEO.ROOTID = Entity02.ROOTID))AND (RootEO.ROOTID = Entity03.ROOTID)
Let me know if I need to retest using a different scenario. Also, what version of jdeveloper are you using?

How to use get column name.vi in SQL toolkit 2.0?

Due to the vi "get column name.vi" paremeters,no table name has connected to the vi. So, I want to ask how to use this vi for gain one column name of a table. Maybe there are some other ways to solve column name getting.
Thanks.

Thanks!
Error 4101 Description:
Execute SQL - The connection, statement, or query handle you provided is not valid.
I don't just used the toolkit in a while,now, I am developing a irrigation system. For the table field names defined by users,column names must be known before any select operations. Do you have any other good idea about drawing out the columnname parameters?
As you know, a valid DSN and table have been also available. The database I used is Access. The bad thing to me is that there is no any text information gotten. And I think, it may be some problems in connection way which I don't find out.
Really appreciated by your reply.
Could you give me some example in the aspect?
Thank you again.

How to get Tablename by using only Column Name in Schema?

Hi,
Here I need a small information. I am looking for the TableName based on Column Name.
I know the Column name but not in which Table that Column belongs? So is there any way to look the Table Name by giving Column Name as an Input parameter in Oracle Schema.

Srikanth,
The three data dictionary views:

Use different column Name in Analytic View depending by logon session language

Hi everybody.
Is it possible to have different column names for ONE single Analytic View column depending by the Client session language?
For instance:
- we have one (only one) column name let's say that is 'fatturato' (for an Italian Client session) and 'invoiced' (for an English Client session) etc.. etc..
in other word the 'column name' changes depending by the language but the column is only 1 (one).
Is it possible to manage this and how? In SAP Hana Studio?
Is it possible to store in some way the different names of that column and relate them to the column itself?
Thank you in advance
Best regards.
Sergio

Hi Sumeet.
We already did your suggestion...
But after the action:
" tab--> Migrate--> Add---> OK"
what do you have to do to have a multi-language column naming?
Let's say we have a column name = 'product' (in English).
We'd like to have for the same column also the following name:
- 'prodotto' -> for Italian
- 'produit' -> for French
- 'produkt' -> for German
.. and so on
depending by the Client session language (and this has to be done automatically of course).
How this can be achieved?
Thank you
Sergio

Dynamic forms using dynamic column names

I have a table with columns such as level_1, level_2, etc.
until level_11 and I have another table with level_id and
description, i.e. for level with id = 1 the description could be
'Crawl.' Id 2 could be 'Walk' etc.
I'm trying to make a checklist so people can mark when
they've done things on the checklist, and then upload those values
to the appropriate tables to store the information so it's all
still there when they go back to check off a new skill.
I can't figure out how to make the column names in the form
dynamic.
I've played around with the formatting and still can't quite
get it. I've tried evaluate(queryname.level_#level_id#),
queryname.label, a bunch of other ones, and I can't seem to get it
to work.
Thanks for the help!

Get to know CF's structure / array notation. This comes in
very handy when dealing with queries and form fields.
- Form.myFieldName can also be referenced by
Form["myFieldName"]
- MyQuery.myField can also be referenced by
MyQuery["myField"][rowNumber]
Anything in the above example surrounded by quotation makes
can be made dynamic by just adding in a cf variable surrounded by
pound signs:
get_dealer_completion["level_#level_id#"][1]

Using dynamic column name in datagrid selectedItems

Hi
I have a datagrid loaded with 2 columns. Allowmultiselect is turned on.
Based on the values selected at run time, I get the corresponding selected column name and its values and shown it on HTML screen.
// grp is datagrid
// dgrcl is a data grid column
// selflds is an array which has 0,1,2,3 values
//selflds[0] = name,selflds[1]=age
for (var l:int=0; l<grp.columnCount; l++)
dgrcl =grp.columns[l];
selflds[l] = dgrcl.dataField;
// srhVals will have only one selected value at any point
// getting the corresponding selected column name and its value
var srhVals:String;
srhVals = String(grp.selectedItem[selflds[1]]);
I am trying to achieve the above selection instead by .selectedItems somthing like this below. By doing like this, I will get all the selected items but not only one. If i try below syntax, i get error. Any one has ideas on how to do.
srhVals = String(grp.selectedItems.selflds[1]);

Hi
I got my mistake, there should be no dot operator after selectedItems;
I got a solution - it goes like this:
for(var g:int=0;g<grp.selectedItems.length;g++)
srhVals = srhVals + String(grp.selectedItems[g][selflds[1]]);
So the complete scenario is like this:
Datagrid:
Name      Age
a               20
b               30
c               40
d               50
I am selecting b,d in UI. At run time, I get programatically the selecteditem column name as "Name", loop through the selecteditems and store the value in srhVals as b,d.
b,d will be finally shown in UI.
