Delete records from multiple table

Hi,
I need to delete records from multiple tables using a single delete statement. Is it possible ? If so please let me know the procedure.
Kindly Help.
Thanks,
Alexander.

Hi Tim,
Syntax of DELETE statement does not allow for multiple tables to be specified in this way. Infact, none of the DMLs allow you to specify table names like this.
Technically, there are other ways of deleting from multiple tables with one statement.
1. "Use a trigger":
What was probably meant by this is that you have a driving-table on which you create a on-delete trigger. In this trigger, you write the logic for deleting from other tables that you want to delete from.
This does mean a one-time effort of writing the trigger. But the actual DML operation of deleting from all the tables would be simply triggered by a delete on driving-table.
2. Dynamic SQL:
Write a PL/SQL code to open a cursor with table-names from which you want the data to be deleted from. In the cursor-for loop, write a dynamic SQL using the table-name to delete from that table.
3. Using Foreign-Key constraint with Cascade-Delete:
This I feel is a more 'cleaner' way of doing this.
Having to delete data from multiple tables means that there is some kind of parent-child relationship between your tables. These relationships can be implemented in database using foreign-key constraints. While creating foreign-key constraint give the 'on delete cascade' clause to ensure that whenever data is deleted from parent-table, its dependent data is deleted from child-table.
Using foreign-key constraint you can create a heirarchy of parent-child relationships and still your DELETE would be simple as you would only have to delete from parent-table.
IMPORTANT: Implementing foreign-key constraints would also impact other DML operations that you should keep in mind.

You can test this piece of code.
DATA:
i_tab TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF mara,
wa_tab TYPE mara.
wa_tab-matnr = '1000'.
APPEND wa_tab TO i_tab.
CLEAR wa_tab.
wa_tab-matnr = '1001'.
APPEND wa_tab TO i_tab.
CLEAR wa_tab.
wa_tab-matnr = '1002'.
APPEND wa_tab TO i_tab.
CLEAR wa_tab.
wa_tab-matnr = '1003'.
APPEND wa_tab TO i_tab.
CLEAR wa_tab.
wa_tab-matnr = '2001'.
APPEND wa_tab TO i_tab.
CLEAR wa_tab.
wa_tab-matnr = '3001'.
APPEND wa_tab TO i_tab.
CLEAR wa_tab.
wa_tab-matnr = '4010'.
APPEND wa_tab TO i_tab.
CLEAR wa_tab.

Retrive last inserted record from database table

Hi,
some body inserting a record into table 'A' through some procedure/java program.i want to retrive the last inserted record from database table.records are not stored in order.Can any body help me.

In general, unless you are storing a timestamp as part of the row or you have some sort of auditing in place, Oracle has no idea what the "first" or "last" record in a table is. Nor does it track when a row was inserted.
- If you have the archived logs from the point in time when the row was inserted, you could use LogMiner to find the timestamp
- If the insert happened recently (i.e. within hours), you may be able to use flashback query to get the value
- If you're on 10g or later and the table was built with ROWDEPENDENCIES and the insert happened in the last few days and you can deal with a granularity of a few seconds and you don't need 100% accuracy, you could get the ORA_ROWSCN of the row and convert that to a timestamp.
If this is something you contemplate needing, you need to store the data in the row or set up some sort of auditing.

Fetch last record from database table

hi,
how to fetch last record from database table.
plz reply earliest.
Regards,
Jyotsna
Moderator message - Please search before asking - post locked
Edited by: Rob Burbank on Dec 11, 2009 9:44 AM

abhi,
just imagine the table to be BSEG or FAGLFLEXA... then what would be performance of the code ?
any ways,
jyotsna, first check if you have a pattern to follow like if the primary key field have a increasing number range or it would be great if you find a date field which stores the inserted date or some thing..
you can select max or that field or order by descending using select single.
or get all data.. sort in descending order.(again you need some criteria like date).
read the first entry. using read itab index 1

Problem When deleting record from database

Hi ,
I have a question. Firstly I'm using VB
I have a problem about deleting any record from access database , That's the code I'm use it for add new item and it's work but it's not work when I tried to edit any rows " it's not want to Save" but work for add new Item.
Try
Me.Validate()
Me.CustomerBindingSource.EndEdit()
Me.CustomerTableAdapter.Update(Me.KonoDataSet.Customer)
MsgBox("Update Successful")
Catch ex As Exception
MsgBox("Update Failed")
End Try
And That's my code for Deleting any record from database But it's not work and that's a problem.
CustomerBindingSource.RemoveCurrent()
CustomerBindingSource.EndEdit()
Me.CustomerTableAdapter.Update(Me.KonoDataSet.Customer)
Can anybody help me about that issue ?

Hi kono20006000,
Your issue seems really strange. I would recommend you make a troubleshooting.
1.Made sure your code works with the single copy of the database. You could check if it scans hard drive for the database file name and check if it modifies dates on found files. You could check if you operate with the same database.
2. Use the application update the record at the form_load event to see if it would work correctly.
3.Check the table in update statement and the table in add statement.

Edward

I have some doubts in deleting the records from MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS table.
There are few records which have junk characters and currently resides in table.
I need to delete those records.
But as per the approach; we should not delete any data directly from MTL table as it would cause huge impact.
I have followed the below approach; but didnt worked out well.
Script

1)
I have modified the below parameter in the MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_INTERFACE table --> SET_PROCESS_ID =0,TRANSACTION_TYPE ='DELETE',PROCESS_FLAG=1 .
Apart from that; everything remains the same as in MTL_SYSTEM_ITEM table.
2) Called the "Import Items" concurrent program.
It got successfully completed. But record still exists in MTL_SYSTEM_ITEMS_INTERFACE table

Hi,
You have to use the delete item utility of Oracle Inventory.
Responsibility: Inventory Superuser or similar
Navigation: Items -> Delete Items
Enter a meaningful name in the Group field.
Type - Item
Select the organization you want to delete the item from.
In the details section, enter the items you want to delete.
Once all the items entered, click on the "Chcek Group" button. This will validate whether the items you have entered are eligible to delete (i.e. whether any child record such as transactions exist).
It will submit a concurrent program and once the program finishes you will be able to see the result in the Results tab.
Finally click on the "Delete Group" button to delete the eligible items.
Thanks,
PS.

Delete entry from Database table

Hi,
I configured one PCR scenerio in SPRO node -> business Packakes/ funtional packages-> Manager self service-> Personal Change request -> Group Change request scenerio.
later I deleted that entry in backend, but still the same entry exist in db table "TWPC_PCR_Groups" .
How can we delete that entry?
thanks

Hi,
If you just want to delete a single entry from database table then you have to it in debug mode .
go to se11->Give table name->Press F7( ie: display table entries)-> Goto the table contents (CTRLSHIFTF10)->Select the entry you want to delete->Give /H in the command bar ->enter into debug mode-> Give code as DELE -> save it. and press enter. Your entry will be deleted from database.
Hope this helps..

Maximum Open cursor Exceeded error when deleting records from a table

I have a strange problem.
I have a table EMP_MASTER . Whenever I am trying to delete a record from this table, I am getting Maximum no. of open cursor exceeded error. But this error doesnot come when i delete from any other tables. And no. of open cursor is much lesser than OPEN_CURSOR parameter.
All other tables (around 700) has foreign key constraint to this EMP_MASTER table for created_user paramater.
Is it some thing like, when I am trying to delete a record from EMP_master, implicit cursor opens up and checks all referenced tables. and that limit gets exceeded ?
Please help.
Thanks,
Raj

Is there a limit on which no.of references made to a column ? Because one column in this field, Emp no is being referenced in almost every other table. around 700 tables. Will it have any adverse effect ?That should have nothing to do with your problem directly. Again, those tables could have triggers defined on them and you are leaking cursors in one of those triggers (wild guess).

Deleting Records from Referential Tables

Hi,
Can anyone help me in deleting records from tables in a hierarcial manner. For e.g C refers B and B refers A. I need to delete data from all three tables related to a where clause in A.I tried using User_constraints and User_cons_columns views. But i am not able to find a hierarchial delete statement.

Did you look into the option of specifying ON DELETE CASCADE for your foreign key constraints. That way, if you delete a
row from the master table Oracle will automatically go and delete the child rows. Take a look at the following script.
Here, when I delete a row from table A for NUM = 1 the child rows from table B (WHERE num = 1) are automatically deleted.
drop table b
drop table a
create table a (num number, name varchar2(40))
create table b (num number, name varchar2(40))
alter table a add constraint pk_a primary key(num)
alter table b add constraint fk_b_num foreign key (num) references a(num) on delete cascade
insert into a values (1, 'Test#1')
insert into a values (2, 'Test#2')
insert into b values (1, 'Referes#1')
insert into b values (2, 'Referes#2')
select * from a
select * from b
delete from a where num = 1
select * from a
select * from b
Sridhar,
Thanks a lot for your help.My exact need was to delete records in 50 tables starting with the key table for a specific condition in the key table.
Assume table A has 100 records,B 200 records,C 150 records,D 400 records, etc
When i want to delete some records in table A, i will not be able to do that as child records exists in table B and this structure will carry on till that last table in my application. How do i delete those specific records
