Export to INSERT STATEMENT Possible Bug

h2. Synopsis
Currently, if your table has nested tables using Types, the export to INSERT STATEMENT does correctly create the insert statement. In the sample below, the PURGE_WHERE_CLAUSE is a nested table (TYPE and TABLE of TYPE)
h2. Examples
h4. Below is an example of the incorrectly created insert statement made by SQL Developer.
INSERT
INTO PRG_DTLS
PRG_NAME,
TABLE_ID,
FILE_ID,
PRG_ORDER_SEQ_NO,
PRG_ACTION_ID,
OPERATING_SYSTEMS_ID,
PRG_WHERE_CLAUSE,
CREATED_BY,
CREATED_DATE,
LAST_UPDATED_BY,
LAST_UPDATED_DATE
VALUES
'GUITEST01',
26,
NULL,
1,4,
NULL,
*'STGMGR.PRG_CRITERIA(STGMGR.PRG_CRITERIA(PRCS_ID,=,1,null,null,null))',*
'XXXXXXX',
to_date('21-MAY-09','DD-MON-RR'),
'XXXXXXX',
to_date('21-MAY-09','DD-MON-RR')
h4. Below is a sample of how it should correctly be made
INSERT
INTO STGMGR.PRG_DTLS
PRG_NAME,
TABLE_ID,
PRG_ORDER_SEQ_NO,
PRG_ACTION_ID,
PRG_WHERE_CLAUSE,
CREATED_BY,
CREATED_DATE,
LAST_UPDATED_BY,
LAST_UPDATED_DATE
VALUES
'GUITEST01',
26,
1,
4,
*"STGMGR"."PRG_CRITERIA_NT"( "STGMGR".PRG_CRITERIA('PRCS_ID','=','1',NULL,NULL,NULL)),*
'XXXXXXXX',
TO_DATE('05/21/2009 15:45:18', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),
'XXXXXXX',
TO_DATE('05/21/2009 15:45:18', 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
COMMIT;
h2. Is there a workaround or fix?
I've attempted to see if I can find a fix for this in some type of settings in the preference but I have not yet found anything. Has anyone found a fix for this issue?

Hi Barry,
It is a Type and Table of types stored as a nested table in a regular table.
Its basically a tool we created to store the WHERE clauses for an automated tool that will delete old data that we no longer need from our database.
So, it dynamically stores and creates the DELETE statements.
Hope this answers your question Barry.
Thanks.

[1.1.1.25.14] BUG: Export to insert statement produces bad sql

I haven't seen anyone from oracle on the thread below and wanted to make sure it gets seen so that the bug can be logged.
See this thread:
Export to INSERT error

It has to do with data types. I think that the data appears in the correct order, but the quotes don't.
For example:
Using HR.COUNTRIES as an example:
Reorder REGION_ID to the first position and export to insert via file.
The file looks like this. Note the lack of quotes around COUNTRY_ID:
REM INSERTING into COUNTRIES
Insert into COUNTRIES ("REGION_ID","COUNTRY_ID","COUNTRY_NAME") values ('2',AR,'Argentina');
Insert into COUNTRIES ("REGION_ID","COUNTRY_ID","COUNTRY_NAME") values ('3',AU,'Australia');
Insert into COUNTRIES ("REGION_ID","COUNTRY_ID","COUNTRY_NAME") values ('1',BE,'Belgium');
Insert into COUNTRIES ("REGION_ID","COUNTRY_ID","COUNTRY_NAME") values ('2',BR,'Brazil');
Insert into COUNTRIES ("REGION_ID","COUNTRY_ID","COUNTRY_NAME") values ('2',CA,'Canada');
Insert into COUNTRIES ("REGION_ID","COUNTRY_ID","COUNTRY_NAME") values ('1',CH,'Switzerland');
Insert into COUNTRIES ("REGION_ID","COUNTRY_ID","COUNTRY_NAME") values ('3',CN,'China');
Insert into COUNTRIES ("REGION_ID","COUNTRY_ID","COUNTRY_NAME") values ('1',DE,'Germany');
Insert into COUNTRIES ("REGION_ID","COUNTRY_ID","COUNTRY_NAME") values ('1',DK,'Denmark');
Insert into COUNTRIES ("REGION_ID","COUNTRY_ID","COUNTRY_NAME") values ('4',EG,'Egypt');
Insert into COUNTRIES ("REGION_ID","COUNTRY_ID","COUNTRY_NAME") values ('1',FR,'France');
Insert into COUNTRIES ("REGION_ID","COUNTRY_ID","COUNTRY_NAME") values ('3',HK,'HongKong');
Insert into COUNTRIES ("REGION_ID","COUNTRY_ID","COUNTRY_NAME") values ('4',IL,'Israel');
Insert into COUNTRIES ("REGION_ID","COUNTRY_ID","COUNTRY_NAME") values ('3',IN,'India');
Insert into COUNTRIES ("REGION_ID","COUNTRY_ID","COUNTRY_NAME") values ('1',IT,'Italy');
Insert into COUNTRIES ("REGION_ID","COUNTRY_ID","COUNTRY_NAME") values ('3',JP,'Japan');

SQL Performance Analyzer - no insert statements possible ?

Hi together
I traced a insert-stament on 9i, made a tuning set on the 11g for run in 10g. The creation of the tunig set was succesful. But if i want to play the tuning set on 10g with same data i get an error :
Type of SQL Statement not supported !
Can i only trace the select ? Have you made a test with bind variables ?
Thanks for your input.

Problem with single quote when exporting insert statement

Hi
I'm using Oracle SQL Developer 2.1.1.64 on Ubuntu 10.04. I got some records which has single quote in it.
For example,
Let says Table '*TABLE_A*' has varchar2 column called '*COL_A*'.
And there is only one record in the table and the value is:
his friend's dog name is dog.
When I export that table data to insert statement, i got this:
Insert into TABLE_A (COL_A) VALUES ('his friend's dog name is dog.');
As you can see friend's is wrong, it should be friend''s instead. (note the double single quotes).
Anyone knows how to fix this please?

Yes - that's a bug. But probably not what you're expecting.
Mind you really can't use "normal" SQL on LOBs, because they're just too big to fit in the statements.
You should export and import them through e.g. the DBMS_LOB package.
I do remember some request on the SQL Developer Exchange to automate this, so go vote there to add weight for future implementation.
So the bug is that the column's fields should all yield NULL inside the INSERTs.

K.

Using the Insert statement in a Java program without hardcoding the data

hello.
this is james mcfadden. i have developed a program called Demo.java, which is used with another program called QueryTableModel.java (a program that allows data to be viewed in a JTable). The Demo.java program displays a menu, connects to a database, allows the user to add data into the database and allows the user to view data that is already in the database. I have a problem with the Demo.java program. I have hardcoded the Insert statement in it. How do you use the Insert statement to put data into a database without hardcoding the data?

Report with stored proc running multiple stored procedures with insert statement

Hi,
I wonder if this is possible in SSRS ... I use the 2012 version (Data Tools).
I have a report that triggers a stored procedure. See below.
Within this SP there are 2 insert statements getting data from 2 other SP's.
When I make a dataset referring to the main SP below, SSRS does not show me any fields at all.
Is this because it's a SP with insert statements and nested SP's?
At the end of the SP I make a select so it should see all the fields.
The parameters @month and @costcenter are multivalue params. I use a special function to convert the multivalues, selected in the report, into a string to pass it correctly to the query (comma separated).
USE [TestDB]
GO
/****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[_Pink_SP_StandingsRegisterDataset] Script Date: 15-4-2014 13:31:30 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[_Pink_SP_StandingsRegisterDataset]
@year INT,
@month NVARCHAR(50),
@costcenter NVARCHAR(500),
@GLaccount NVARCHAR(9)
AS
BEGIN
/* Remove existing content*/
DELETE FROM _Pink_TB_StandingsRegister
/* Add records part 1 */
INSERT INTO _Pink_TB_StandingsRegister
EXEC _Pink_SP_StandingsRegister @year, @month, @costcenter, @GLaccount
/* Add records part 2 */
INSERT INTO _Pink_TB_StandingsRegister
Type,
Row,
Year,
Month,
YearDatetable,
MonthDatetable
EXEC _Pink_SP_StandingsRegisterDatetable @year
/* Select all records */
SELECT *
FROM _Pink_TB_StandingsRegister
END
GO

Hi bijntjede2e,
After testing a similar scenario in my own environment, it works well in Reporting Services. In my test, the stored procedure returns all the fields from _Pink_TB_StandingsRegister table in the dataset. Then I select some values from year, month, costcenter
and Glaccount parameters, it inserts some values in the _Pink_TB_StandingsRegister table. So we can use this stored procedure as the dataset in the report.
In order to solve the problem more efficiently, I need to clarify some information.
Are you pass multiple values parameter to one stored procedure correctly? We can refer to the following thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/dbdfa101-cccc-4e9f-aa50-566dc5ebcc27/ssrs-2008-r2-report-dataset-call-a-stored-procedure?forum=sqlrep
What results are you get when executing the stored procedure in SQL Server Management Studio? Is it works well? We should double those stored procedures.
If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

Possible Bug In Apex 4.0.2

Hi Everyone.
I would like to report what I think is a bug in Apex 4.0.2.
If you go to my workspace on apex.oracle.com:
Workspace = EEG
Username = [email protected]
Password = galaxy (all lowercase)
Run the application: 37796 - Elie_Various_Goodies [no credentials are required]
This app was imported from my 4.0.1 workspace at my job. On the page I created two Date Picker items, P1_BEGIN_DATE and P1_END_DATE. I set them up so that whenever a user selects a begin date, a dynamic action "MANAGE_DATES" fires and automatically sets P1_END_DATE to this selected begin date value. Now when a user goes to select an end date, the displayed calendar starts at the previously selected begin date rather than the default of "Today".
All of this worked fine on my office (4.0.1) workspace. However, after exporting this app and then importing onto apex.oracle.com, none of this functionality would work. Even worse, whenever I try to select a begin date or even an end date, the selected dates never make it into the date picker fields. Displaying the "Session" window shows these fields as empty.
It was only after I copied the two date picker fields and also re-created my dynamic action (P1_BEGIN_DATE2, P1_END_DATE2, MANAGE_DATES) did my functionality return.
This behavior is quite strange. I can only think this is some sort of bug attributed to the export/import process when exporting a 4.0.1 app into a 4.0.2 workspace. I am not sure if this bizarre behavior happens with non-date picker items. Nor am I sure if this beavior would be repeated if I export/import from 4.0.2 into the another 4.0.2 environment.
Another strange thing I noticed. If I change my date picker items to be "date picker (classic)" type items, the dynamic action does not work at all. This is true in both 4.0.2 and 4.0.1. I'm not sure if this a bug or not. It could be that the classic date picker is just not "javascript" enabled so to speak. If that is true, then it would have been nice if the docs would have warned us about this.
Has anyone else seen this behavior?
Thank you.
Elie

Hi Joel.
First let me thank you for the warning about allowing "everyone" access to my workspace.
You're correct, of course. Anyone could destroy anything within my workspace. I guess I was too trusting especially as I have seen many posts on the Forum where others have given access to their workspace so that responders can offer help. I really should be more discreet about this. Again, thank you. Needless to say, I have changed my password.
With respect to the possible bug, the MANAGE_DATES dynamic action is intended to be a submit page because that is the only way I can see to get BOTH the P1_END_DATE date picker item as well as the end date textual field to be assigned the selected P1_BEGIN_DATE. I tried to use a dynamic action in which javascript sets the value of the end date textual field to the selected P1_BEGIN_DATE value. This works without the need to submit the page. Unfortunately, this does not cause the P1_END_DATE date picker item to default to this value. Instead, the default remains at today's date. This is why I finally resorted to a dynamic action that submits the page whenever a new value is selected (that is, a "change" event) from the P1_BEGIN_DATE date picker item.
All of this works in my office 4.0.1 environment. However, I was puzzled when this fails under 4.0.2 on the hosted web site at apex.oracle.com. This is why I posted a "possible" bug in 4.0.2.
I hope this all makes sense.
One more thing, as already mentioned in my original post, this "defaulting a date picker" functionality does NOT work at all for the "classic" date picker items in both 4.0.1 nor in 4.0.2. I realize one can implement this functionality (I' guessing) my using, say, a "onChange" javascript call to submit the page. It's just funny that the "classic" date picker items are not acted upon by the dynamic action MANAGE_DATES that submits the page.
Thank you.

Relation between record in a form and insert statement written in button

hi all,
i am using Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.24.1 (Production).
i have a master detail form with relation
A is master of B, B is master of C and a button which resides on control block(other than A,B,C).
so i will insert a one record into the block 'A' and i will press button which will insert particular record into particular table.
so when i try to move to next record('A' block) it is asking for database change. when i give 'yes' everything is ok. but when i give 'no'(w.r.t that record) and moves to next record and inserts the record and insert record throguh button also, at this time user press 'yes' then the first record is not saving but what ever i have inserted through the insert statement is not rolling back.
How can i control insert statement with the respect to datablock change in the block.
The block 'C' data is going to the other table through insert statement the block 'C' i am posting. So due to 'post' the block is not getting cleared so insert statement is also firing.
In other words i want to unpost the posted data when user press 'no' in the database message.
I know there is nothing to do with the forms message. But is its possible to control when user press 'no' then the insert statement should not gets saved into the table.
Please help.
Thanks..

First off, you need to understand how Oracle Forms interacts with an Oracle database. Forms natively handles all DML transactions for you. Meaning, if you have a Forms data block based on a database table, Forms will generate all the necessary DML to handle any changes that occur in that block. You do not need to write your own DML statements in code.
so i will insert a one record into the block 'A' and i will press button which will insert particular record into particular table.Is Block "A" based on a table? How are you inserting the record into the table? If you are writting your own DML to insert the record this would explain why you are being prompted to save when you change records. As I mentioned, if your block is based on a table, Forms will know if you change a value within the block.
How can i control insert statement with the respect to datablock change in the block.If your blocks are based on tables, let Forms handle the DML! don't do it yourself.
In other words i want to unpost the posted data when user press 'no' in the database messageIf your block is based on a table, when you are prompted to save changes - answering 'NO' will automatically clear the current record of the data block (in essence - rollback the change).

EXTRACT
Basic form
EXTRACT fg.
Effect
Writes all fields of the field group fg (FIELD-GROUPS) as an entry in asequential dataset. If you have defined a field group HEADER,its fields precede each entry as a sort key. Afterwards, you canuse SORT and LOOP ... ENDLOOP to sort or process the datasetrespectively. No further EXTRACT statements are possible afterthis.
Notes
General:
As soon as you have extracted a dataset using EXTRACT, you canno longer extend the field group using INSERT. In particular, you cannot change the HEADERfield group at all after the first EXTRACT (regardless of thefield group to which it applied).
Large extract datasets are not stored in main memory. Instead, theyare kept in an external auxiliary file. You can set the directory inwhich this file is created using the SAP profile parameterDIR_EXTRACT. The default directory is the SAP data directory(SAP profile parameter DIR_DATA).
Notes
Runtime errors:
EXTRACT_AFTER_SORT/LOOP: EXTRACT after SORT, orLOOP. EXTRACT_BUFFER_NO_ROLL: Unable to create the required main
EXTRACT_FIELD_TOO_LARGE: Occupied length of a field is toolarge.
EXTRACT_HEADER_NOT_UNIQUE: Field group HEADER wasmodified after an EXTRACT statement.
EXTRACT_OPEN_EXTRACTFILE_OPEN:
Error opening the external extract dataset file.
EXTRACT_RESOURCEHANDLER_FAILED: Error deleting the externalextract dataset file.
EXTRACT_TOO_LARGE: Total length of the entry for extraction(including HEADER fields) is too large.
Additional help
Filling anExtract with Data
Extracts
Since internal tables have fixed line structures, they are not suited to handle data sets with varying structures. Instead, you can use extract datasets for this purpose.
An extract is a sequential dataset in the memory area of the program. You can only address the entries in the dataset within a special loop. The index or key access permitted with internal tables is not allowed. You may only create one extract in any ABAP program. The size of an extract dataset is, in principle, unlimited. Extracts larger than 500KB are stored in operating system files. The practical size of an extract is up to 2GB, as long as there is enough space in the filesystem.
An extract dataset consists of a sequence of records of a pre-defined structure. However, the structure need not be identical for all records. In one extract dataset, you can store records of different length and structure one after the other. You need not create an individual dataset for each different structure you want to store. This fact reduces the maintenance effort considerably.
In contrast to internal tables, the system partly compresses extract datasets when storing them. This reduces the storage space required. In addition, you need not specify the structure of an extract dataset at the beginning of the program, but you can determine it dynamically during the flow of the program.
You can use control level processing with extracts just as you can with internal tables. The internal administration for extract datasets is optimized so that it is quicker to use an extract for control level processing than an internal table.
Procedure for creating an extract:
Define the record types that you want to use in your extract by declaring them as field groups. The structure is defined by including fields in each field group.
Defining an Extract
Fill the extract line by line by extracting the required data.
Filling an Extract with Data
Once you have filled the extract, you can sort it and process it in a loop. At this stage, you can no longer change the contents of the extract.
Processing Extracts
INSERT Statement
The INSERT statement is used to insert values into a single database table.
<insert statement> ::= INSERT INTO <table name> <insert column list> <insert source>.
<insert source> ::= VALUES '(' <value> ( ',' <value> )* ')'
| <query specification>.
<value> ::= <value expression>
| <dynamic parameter specification>
| NULL.
<insert column list> ::= '(' <column name> ( ',' <column name> )* ')'.
In Open SQL the <insert column list> is not optional.
You cannot specify string literals as values for CLOB columns. Hex literals are not supported in Open SQL.
Examples
INSERT INTO employees (employee_id, employee_name)
VALUES (4711, 'John Smith')
Inserting Values. A new row is inserted into the table employees with the values 4711 and 'John Smith' for the columns employee_id and employee_name respectively.
INSERT INTO well_paid_employees (employee_id, salary)
SELECT employee_id, salary
FROM employees
WHERE salary > ?
Inserting the Result of a Query. The employee_idand the salaryof all employees from table employeeswith a salary exceeding a certain value are inserted into the table well_paid_employees.

Want to construct insert statement from all_tab_columns

I am using Oracle 10GR2 and a new user for plsql
I want to write a plsql block or SQL in order to insert some dummy data.
I want to use the column list from all_tab_columns and want to construct insert statement
EX: I am trying to construct SQL as below
for i in (select column_name from all_tab_columns where table_name='EMP')
loop
v_sql := insert into emptest valuesi.column_name
could you please let me know any pointer for the same ..?
can I use any other technique for the same .. like collection, nested table etc

Am not clear for this requirement, if possible could you please elaborate.
Also specify the requirement, inputs and expected outputs with your query in code format...
This will help..

Generate INSERT Statements question

Is there a built-in PL/SQL procedure that SQL Developer utilizes to generate the INSERT statements when one exports data from a worksheet in 'insert' format? Is it part of the DBMS_METADATA package?
Mike

No this is all done in Java, we use the DBMB-METADATA only for generating DDL...

Insert statement approaches

Hello,
I noted in a post recently that an insert statement was formed like the one below the advantage being that there was one commit statement,
INSERT INTO TABLE
SELECT COLUMNS FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT COLUMNS FROM DUAL
So I have attempted to use something like it, I have three examples below two (first and third example) using the syntax above.
The last example attempts to use the syntax above but I have not included all the columns and it fails, is there anyway to form an insert statement similar to above that inserts multiple records for only some of the columns in the table with one commit statement.

Thank You for the clarification Chen,
This is the address that I was refering to about 6 posts down Oracle Database 10g Express Edition help
After rereading it I may have come to the wrong conclusion on what Sentinel was saying.
So is there any advantage to doing an insert with join all? I had the impression it was more efficient, faster or easier to write, what do you think?

How to prepare an INSERT statement from the resultset

Hi Friends ,
I have to generate CREATE and INSERT statements for the Table already present in the database .
I can prepare CREATE statement by getting the MetaData from the database . Is it possible to create INSERT statement for the data already present in the database table if so how.
Thanks ,
Rajesh Reddy

You should be able to do something like SELECT * FROM foo WHERE 1 = 2. No rows will be returned. Call ResultSet#getMetaData() to get the meta data for the column names and types. You should then be able to dynamically create your own INSERT statement.

Options:
1) you are wrong about privileges OR

Is it possible that during your test you enabled the role which granted you the INSERT privilege - and that SQL*Loader doesn't do this?
Can you see the table in this list?
