Groove Agent 3 to record into LE8?

Hey all....
Anyone have any experience recording the audio of one of the pre-sets in GA3 to a track in LE8? I guess this is a pretty easy thing to do (I used to do it in Sonar on my PC years ago...), but I'm having a lot of trouble getting this to work.
Also, if anyone out there has been able to record the MIDI data from a GA3 groove into LE8, information regarding on how to do THAT would be awesome, as well! (The GA3 manual says that it doesn't "guarantee" MIDI out recording to the host in anything but Cubase....grrrrrrrr!!!!!).
Cheers all!

The recording MIDI fault has nothing to do with Steinberg/Cubase, Logic has never implemented this feature although the AU spec does allow it. This one is a Logic feature "not yet implemented".
It's very easy to route AUi inputs/outputs (includung MIDI) in Cubase as each track has a drop down selector for both.

  • Recording drum tracks in Logic using Groove Agent 2 or 3

    I'm trying to record some drum tracks using Grove Agent 3. I can hear the drums and see the meter jumping but there is no recording. Help please

    Logic cannot record Groove Agrnt's MIDI output, I can't remember whether it's
    AUi or Logic that isn't developed to that point yet. I know it's in the AUi spec
    but don't think Logic has that capability.
    If it's audio you want to record, solo and "Bounce" the Groove Agent instrument
    track. That will get you an audio recording. Cubase makes it a bit easier as it
    will record Groove Agent's MIDI output for editing purposes before
    bouncing/exporting.

  • Groove Agent 2 (3rd party plugin) with Logic

    Hi, I'm attempting to use Steinberg Groove Agent 2 (cool virtual drumbox) with Logic 7.1.0. (I saw a friend using them together via laptop on a gig, and I never had trouble using Spectrasonics Stylus with Logic so I assumed this should also work; I hope I wasn't dumb to try.)
    GA2 required a Steinberg key, which is now authorized. Thanks to a thread here, I found preferences>Start Logic AU Manager and enabled the plugin. When I load GA2 into an Audio Instrument, it shows up onsceen and plays. So far so good.
    Midi Output is enabled on GA2; this is supposed to allow a midifile of any GA drum pattern to be recorded into Logic. However, when I select the GA track in Logic and hit record, GA plays and Logic's meter flashes but Logic does not record midi data. (Of course Logic can record midi from my keyboard, but not from this plugin.)
    1) What do I need to do to record midi data output from a plug-in, such as this GA2, in Logic?
    GA2 manual suggests turning on the SysEx filter in the sequencer when running GA2, so that Run and Stop commands aren't written into the Midi part. (The midi part isn't recording to Logic yet, but: )
    2) How do I turn on the SysEx filter on this Audio Instrument in Logic?
    When I hit play in the Logic song, the GA2 starts playing. However, when I hit stop (key command, or mouse on stop) both Logic and GA2 often keep playing. (Of course without the GA2, Logic works fine.) Other mouse functions such as clicking mute buttons on the GA2 don't work reliably either.
    3) Why would Logic or the plugin ignore the mouse or stop command? How do I need to change my setup?
    Thanks for any help. I've used Logic for ten years, but Stylus was the only third party plugin I'd used & it was flawless.

    I used to use GA2 on my PC (before I became a Mac user). Once I bought my Mac I got rid of my PC.
    But the disc I have for GA2 has both the PC and Mac version on it, so it was working on my PC, but not on my Mac.
    When I try to start it use it as a standalone on my Mac, it starts to load, then a message window appears and says: "No protection device is connected".
    I never had this problem when I used to use it on my PC.

  • Compatibility issues with Groove Agent 3

    Hi everyone,
    I´ve recently acquired Groove Agent 3 in order to gain time laying drum tracks on demo songs. After running it as a VSTi under Logic Express 8 I realised the MIDI output function of GA3 was not working. I can hear the drum pattern, the meters move accordingly and I can play or pause GA3 directly from Logic but I cannot record the MIDI track.
    I've tried exporting MIDI with GA as a stand-alone and Rewire as well but didn´t work either.
    I´ve checked for support on Apple´s forum and found a couple of articles dating back 2005 and 2007. Does anyone know if the compatibility between GA and Logic has been updated?
    The MIDI output is vital for me since it enables to edit the drum track!
    If the compatibility issues are still unsolved does anyone know a way around?
    Thanks in advance
    Antoine D.

    Hi Antoine,
    GA3 is not the easiest VSTi/plugin to figure out. Regarding recording MIDI grooves live to host, Steinberg admits that they can't guarantee that this will work in anything other than Cubase. You can play and record the drum kits manually via your keyboard, but if you try to record the grooves in LE8 all you get are the "controller notes" which simply trigger the grooves and do not display individual notes that you can edit.
    However, I am able to successfully export grooves to MIDI files in LE8. You probably already know that before you begin recording you go to Edit/Setup in GA3 and set GA MIDI Output to "Record To File." The really important thing to remember is that after you stop recording you need to go back to GA and turn the MIDI Output off. This is what tells GA3 to create a MIDI file and save it to your desktop.
    Finally, admittedly a bit convoluted, you need to drag & drop this MIDI file onto your track. You will then have all your individual editable notes.
    I hope this helps.

    Hi Tim,
    I have both GA2 and GA3 on my iMac (10.5.6) and can tell you that GA3 functions in LE8, but GA2 is ppc, not universal, and it is not recognized by Logic.

  • Groove Agent 2 and Audition are driving me nuts!

    Can someone please help me with this? Believe me- I've tried everythign I can think of, including reading the Groove Agent Manual.
    I am simply trying to run Groove Agent 2, from Audition 3, and record the beats that come out of it. I tried inserting a midi track, using the sequencer and loading it as a vst. I also tried using rewire _ I enabled rewire and selecting the Groove Agent 2 box, and then said launch the application. This created a track in the multi tracker (at leats it seemed to have colored a track), but it did not actually launch groove agent.
    Help. I've tried so many things, i'm all mixed up now
    Thank-you

    You do know that all those tabs in the Viewer can be pulled off into their own separate windows, don't you? Just put the mouse cursor on a tab, hold down the mouse button, and drag the tab off to one side where it will stand alone in its own window. When you click that window closed, it will once again become a tab on the Viewer.
    Thus, for example, you can double-click a clip on the Timeline up into the Viewer window, and then drag the Motion tab off the Viewer window so that it becomes its own window. Then whatever you do in the Motion tab's window, you can watch to see how it affects the video in the Video tab.
    A big monitor, or two of them, are helpful when you get a bunch of these windows open.

  • What software do I need to get music from a vinyl record into ITunes

    What software do I need to get music from a vinyl record into ITunes

    When I used Audacity to digitize some of my LPs I would record the whole album, then trim the lead in, select and export the first track, delete that, then export the next track, and so on. You can zoom in and out to locate the track breaks. There is a snap to zero point option which should prevent clicks on track transitions. If you want to go deeper you can add fade in and out so you don't snap into the sound of the groove. (I was using a pretty ropey turntable). There are other tools that chop up audio but you should be able to do it all in Audacity reasonably quickly once you get your eye in. I'm sure there are tools that can chop audio at pre-specified points, or even calculate where those points should be, but they are unlikely to be free and probably still need a degree of supervision.

  • Clear Instructions: import Vinyl records into iTunes

    I have been researching for some weeks. Amazing,no succinct article or info on HOW to use a Mac and import music from Vinyl records into iTunes. ( Adam Engst, where is a Tidbits eBook when I need it?)
    I think I have the gist but maybe you audiophiles can clarify for me?
    (not sure what format to use when finally able to import the music file into iTunes)
    - have ordered an AudioTechnica turntable
    -using iMac G4...am I correct that it does not have a distinct "LINE IN"?
    - So, will need iMic from Griffin
    -will use Audacity (available free or lo cost with the iMic?
    -Possibly use "ClickRepair" to rid of clicks and clacks in the music?
    Clean the vinyl first (any suggestions what to use?)
    connect turntable to iMac via iMic
    put record on the platter
    launch Audacity
    start the turntable
    tell Audacity to record into a non compressed format (so I can use ClickRepair).
    after both software products have finished, import into iTunes?
    As what? AiFF, Apple Lossless?
    Any and all advice appreciated.

    Work Flow - Recording a vinyl LP to the Mac for iTunes
    The short version of what needs to be done is this:
    * Set up the hardware - find the cables needed to connect the turntable to the Mac.
    * Provide an RIAA EQualization curve - this can be done with hardware or software
    * Clean the vinyl LP
    * Set up the recording software - select input and output, designate where the file is to be saved and in what format (considering quality level desired and hard drive space available), enable "pass through" (so you can listen while recording), and set the recording level.
    * Record
    * Edit - define tracks, if necessary, clean pops and scratches, if possible
    * Import into iTunes - name tracks, change file format, if necessary to save hard drive space
    Here is the long version:
    *Hardware:
    I suggest connecting your turntable to a stereo amplifier or pre-amplifier which has a "Phono" input. The (red and white) RCA plugs on the turntable would plug into the Phono jacks on the back of the amp. Then, use a stereo-RCA-to-1/8th-inch-minijack-cable (RadioShack) to connect a set of the amplifier's "Line Out" jacks to the Mac's audio "Line In" port.
    If your Mac does not have a "Line In" port, I highly recommend the Griffin iMic ($40 - http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/imic/). The iMic comes with a short RCA-minijack cable; you will probably want a 1/8th inch stereo extension cable which is long enough to reach between the turntable and the Mac.
    I also suggest a good set of headphones - especially if you are applying filters and effects. It will be difficult or impossible to tell what you are doing if you are monitoring the results with typical computer speakers. I use (and highly recommend) the Sennheiser HD-485s although there are many others you could choose from.
    * RIAA Equalization - As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, you will need to provide an RIAA equalization curve so your LPs will sound right when played back. Your stereo amplifier or pre-amp with a "Phono" input has that built in, so you are all set.
    If, however, you don't have an amp or pre-amp with "Phono" inputs, then you could connect the turntable's RCA jacks directly to the iMic and use the Final Vinyl software (included with the iMic) to provide the RIAA curve (Filters>Add>EQ> then check the button "Connected to a turntable"). I can't comment on the results from using Final Vinyl's for the RIAA, because I use a stereo amp.
    * Clean the vinyl LP:
    First, I use a brush with very fine nylon bristles and a weak solution of dishwashing detergent in tepid water (http://www.needledoctor.com/Online-Store/Nylon-Bristle-Brushes) to remove dirt and fingerprints. Gently work the bush with a concentric motion, following the groves, then, rinse under tepid tap water and blot dry on a clean tea towel.
    This will leave some lint, so clean again by using the Discwasher brush (http://www.needledoctor.com/Discwasher-D4-Kit?sc=2&category=108), held lightly, on the LP as it rotates on your turntable. After using up my Discwasher fluid, I started mixing my own: half distilled water and half isopropyl alcohol.
    I should mention, my goal was to clean the LP for one last playback for the recording, without consideration of what long-term effect my cleaning method might have on the LP.
    Don't forget to examine the needle on the turntable cartridge - it can collect crud which seriously degrades the playback quality. The Discwasher kit has a little brush for the needle, too - careful - it's very fragile.
    *Set up the Software:
    For general recording, including LPs, I recommend "Audio Hijack Pro" ($32 - http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/) I prefer Audio Hijack Pro to Final Vinyl and CD Spin Doctor, because I can use it to record from many more sources (including streaming audio from the internet), it has many more options for effects and file types, a better Help manual, and, in my experience, fewer crashes. However, Audio Hijack Pro does not offer an RIAA equalization curve, as does Final Vinyl.
    - Format - IF you have enough hard drive space, I would suggest you make the initial recording in 16 bit AIFF format at 44.1kHz. That is the standard format used by audio CDs, so this file type can be burned directly to CDs without conversion or compression. Every audio software application should be able to open an AIFF file.
    If the AIFF files take up too much room on your hard drive, you can always convert them to MP3 or AAC, using your recording software or iTunes, but I suggest you first burn a copy of your AIFF recording to a CD, so you can go back to the original "master" recording in case you want to re-edit it later.
    Some file formats which are compressed - like MP3s - get re-compressed every time you Save. A little information is lost each time the file is compressed, so if you are doing a lot of editing and saving, the file can degrade. That's why I prefer to do any editing on AIFF files, which I change to high quality MP3s in iTunes only when I am done editing.
    - Refer to your software help files to learn how to set input and output, save preferences, and to enable pass through, if needed, so you can hear what you are recording.
    - Next, you will need to set the "level" to be as strong as possible without clipping. Clipping results in distortion when the signal is too strong. If the signal is too weak, the recording will be noisy because the junk will be louder relative to the desired audio. Audio Hijack Pro has "VU Meters" with clipping indicators, and you can set up a "Gain" control to increase or decrease the signal strength. You may need to visit the Mac's "Sound" Preference Pane>Input Tab, to change the signal strength at the system level.
    - Your recording software may offer a few - or many - filters and effects. Filters and effects are available as plugins, so you may be able to find even more as free downloads or for sale. Many filters and effects are going to be of interest only to sound engineers and only for rare special circumstances. Some are quite useful when cleaning up tape or microphone recordings, but I have not found any which are very effective on LP-type pops and scratches. You can waste a LOT of time playing around with these.
    My suggestion is to make your "master" raw recording using few or no effects, then go back and edit COPIES of the master, so if you mess it up, you can start over. With experience, you will learn what works - only then you should apply the filters as you record.
    * Record:
    If your recording software offers these features, here is something you may want to try when recording LPs. One is a feature to automatically detect the "silent" groove between tracks so the finished recording will consist of a separate file for each track. You may have to adjust some sensitivity settings to get this to work, and I found it to be somewhat fussy.
    Another useful feature is a Pause button, so you can turn over an LP without actually stopping and restarting the recording - and also without the sounds of picking up the needle from side A and setting it down on side B. The pause feature is especially nice when the LP is really one long recording, such as a symphony.
    If you are recording in the AIFF format, don't waste time naming albums, artists, and tracks in the recording software. That info is not encoded in the AIFF file, so when you move the file to iTunes you will have to rename everything again. Might work if you are recording in the MP3 format.
    * Edit:
    If your finished recording lacks tracks, you can re-create them by using the "split" feature of your editing software - which may be the same as your recording software, or something different. I really like Fission for simple editing like splits, cuts and fades, and they claim it's "lossless" even when editing MP3s (http://rogueamoeba.com/fission/). It's particularly good for trimming off the "silent" grooves at the start and end of the LP where the pops are much more obtrusive. For applying filters and equalization, I stick with Audio Hijack.
    The Holy Grail for LP recordings is trying to eliminate pops and scratches. I can't offer too much encouragement. Nothing I've tried has been very effective in reducing pops and scratches, and everything I've tried which has helped, has also degraded the recording somewhat, usually dulling the sound a little.
    "CD Spin Doctor" is somewhat useful, offering separate sliders for applying "De-click" De-crackle" and "De-hiss". The effect can quickly be previewed, and after you get the degree of adjustment you want, it can be applied to the whole file (works on AIFF, not MP3). My copy of CD Spin Doctor came with Toast Titanium 6, but I see it is now being sold on Roxio's site as a stand-alone application ($40 - http://www.roxio.com/enu/products/spindoctor/overview.html). Sadly, the improvement I've seen in LP noise has been less than miraculous.
    Many reviewers say great things about SoundSoap2, but I was disappointed. It is the best noise reduction software I have tried, and also the most expensive ($129 - http://www.bias-inc.com/products/soundSoap2/), but I was unable to make much improvement in LP pops and scratches without also degrading the overall quality of the audio. It has a "Learn Noise" feature which is very cool - in theory. Find a groove to sample with pops (but no music) and SoundSoap2 will eliminate the same noise profile from the entire recording. There is another cool feature in which you can listen just to the "noise" which is to be removed - and there you will hear the learned "pop" also includes quite a bit of the music spectrum.
    SoundSoap2 is pretty good at cleaning up hiss from tape recordings and wind noise from microphone recordings, but not so good for LPs.
    Some editing software (like CD Spin Doctor and SoundSoap2) offer an "Exciter" or "Excitifier" effect which helps restore some of the brilliance and high end which is lost in noise reduction. This is one of the few effects which I've found to be useful, if used in moderation.
    I haven't tried "ClickRepair" which I just learned about from this thread, but after reading the website (http://wwwmaths.anu.edu.au/~briand/sound/) and Version Tracker, I'm hopeful that it will perform better than CD Spin Doctor and Soundsoap2. Thanks for the tip.
    * Import into iTunes:
    After I have the recording edited and cleaned, I import it into iTunes. At this stage I usually have AIFF files, one for each track on the LP. In iTunes, the album and tracks will have generic names (track 1, track 2, etc.), so I edit the Album name, track titles, genre, year, etc (File>Get info>Info tab); Select the whole album before "get info" to edit the Album, Artist, Genre and Year info, but select each track one-at-a-time to edit the Track titles.
    Next, I burn one or two "master" copies of the edited recording as an audio CD form the AIFF files. Be aware that if you burn an audio CD, the album and track names you edited will appear only when you insert that CD back into the same Mac it was burned on - take it to another Mac or PC and all you will see are the Generic names (track 1, etc) - this is normal for an audio (AIFF) CD.
    Because they take up so much room, I don't keep AIFF files on my hard drive - I use iTunes to convert them to MP3 files (Advanced>Convert Selection to MP3). You may want to use AAC or some other format, instead. Consider all possible future uses of your iTunes library (iPod vs non-Apple MP3 player, compatibility with the CD player in your car or home stereo, quality of your playback equipment, etc.)
    To change the quality of the MP3 or AAC files imported to iTunes, go to: Preferenes>Advanced>Importing. (I use a Custom import setup of: High Quality (160kbps), Variable bit rate - a step up from the mor common 128kbps MP3.) Whatever settings you have selected here is what will be used when your AIFF files are converted to MP3. After converting the recording to MP3, I delete the AIFF file from iTunes (and my hard drive), but I keep my master (AIFF) CD in a safe, accessible location.
    If I want a music mix to listen to in my car, or for a party, or for background music while I work, the MP3 files on my hard drive are fine. However, if I really want to listen to the music on quality playback equipment, I'll choose the CD I burned from the uncompressed (AIFF) file.
    Hope this helps.

  • Can not insert record into database

    Hi:
    I have problem with inserting a record into oracle database .
    can some one please give some help?
    I created a project which connected to a external database. My project is on one of the tables called family.
    I followed the steps in the example "TwoPageCrudTable" from "Technical Articles & Tips". I have 3 pages: family,
    family_create and family_update.
    In page family: I have one table which bound to family table in db.
    In page family_create, I have a bunch of text fields
    In page family_update, I also have a lot of text fields which are bound to the fields of the family table.
    In each of the page, there is a dataprovider, they all refer to the same rowset in the sessionbean.
    Here is my code of create button:
    public String create_action() {
    if ( familyDataProvider.canAppendRow() ) {
    try {             
    RowKey rowKey = familyDataProvider.appendRow();
    familyDataProvider.setCursorRow(rowKey);
    familyDataProvider.setValue("family.familyID", rowKey, fid.getText());
    // familyDataProvider.setValue("family.countryoforigin", rowKey, counOrigin.getText());
    // familyDataProvider.setValue("family.ELOD", rowKey, elod.getValue());

              familyDataProvider.commitChanges();
    } catch (Exception e) {
    error("Cannot append new family: " + e);
    } else {
    error("Cannot append a new row");
    return "created";
    FamilyID is the primary key of the family table which is type of String. There are also some other
    fields with String or Number. I tried to insert a new record with value in all the fields and with
    only some of the fields, neither succeeded. I also did a search in this forum and tried some of the
    suggestions, no help. So could anybody help me to find the problem? Thanks in advance.

    It keeps giving me the error:
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: FAMILY.FAMILYID
    Does anybody know what is the problem? Thanks!

  • How to concatenate multiple records into one

    Hi everybody:
    I want to know if exist some way to concat multiple records into one without using cursors. For example, I have a table named "Authors" like this:

  • How to devide the set of records into groups in SQL itself.

    Hi , i am using 10.2.4.0 of oracle.
    I am having one requirement, in which i have to devide the set of records into certain groups , so that they can be executed partly but not in one run.
    So in the 'SELECT' clause itself i want to asssign particular value (may be 1 )to first 50000 records then another value(may be 2) to next 10000, like wise. And again the total count of records will also varry time to time , if the total count of record set is less than 10000 , then it should only assign '1' to all the records. i will set the group values (1,2,3...) as another column itself.
    Can you please let me know if this can be done in SQL without going for PLSQL?

    Hi,
    That's called a Pagination Query , and here's one way to do it:
    WITH     got_grp          AS
         SELECT     x.*
         ,     CEIL ( ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY  x_id) 
                   / 50000
                   )          AS grp
         FROM     table_x  x
    --     WHERE     ...          -- If you need any filtering, put it here
    SELECT     *               -- Or list the columns you want
    FROM     got_grp
    WHERE     grp     = 1
    ;ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY x_id)     assigns unique integers 1, 2, 3, ... to all all rows, in the same order as x_id (even if x_id is not unique).
    CEIL (ROW_NUMBER () OVER (ORDER BY x_id) / 50000)     maps the 1st 50,000 of those numbers to 1, the 2nd 50,000 to 2, and so on.
    Analytic functions (like ROW_NUMBER) as computed after the WHERE clause is applied, so, to use the results in a WHERE clause, then you need to compute them in a sub-query. If you just want to display the number, and not use it in a WHERE clause, then you don't need a sub-query.
    I hope this answers your question.
    If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables involved, and the results you want from that data.
    In the case of a DML operation (such as UPDATE) the sample data should show what the tables are like before the DML, and the results will be the contents of the changed table(s) after the DML.
    Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
    Always say what version of Oracle you're using.

    We have an XML file that has a Parent/Child relationship.
    In situation 1 we have a single parent record in the xml file. We can insert the record into the database successfully.
    In situation 2 we have a parent and a an associated child record. By using a filter expression to identify the existence of the child record we can route to the first DB Adapter to insert the parent then to the second DB Adapter to insert the child.
    Is this final scenario logical and also possible.
    Situation 3 we have multiple child records associated to a single parent. So we would first insert the parent record then insert all the child records.
    Thanks

    I use PL/SQL for this if you are using Oracle.
    Have a look at this post, it is for AQ but the concept can be used for PL/SQL

    I will send you an example

  • Loading multiple physical records into a logical record

    Hello,
    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this thread.
    I have to import data from a fixed length positioned text file into a oracle table using sql loader.
    My sample input file (which has 3 columns) looks like:
    Col1 Col2 Col3
    1 A abcdefgh
    1 A ijklmnop
    1 A pqrstuv
    1 B abcdefgh
    1 B ijklmn
    2 A abcdefgh
    3 C hello
    3 C world
    The above text file should be loaded into the table as:
    Col1 Col2 Col3
    1 A abcdefghijklmnpqrstuv
    1 B abcdefghijklmn
    2 A abcdefgh
    3 C helloworld
    My question: Is there a way tht i can use the logic of loading multiple physical records into a logical record in my oracle tables. Please suggest.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your reply.
    The order of the concatenated strings is important as the whole text is split into several physical records in the flat file and has to be combined into 1 record in Oracle table.
    My scenario is we get these fixed length input files from mainframes on a daily basis and this data needs to be loaded into a oracle table for reporting purpose. It needs to be automated.
    Am still confused whether to use external table or a staging table using sql loader. Please advise with more clarity as am a beginner in sql loader. Thanks.I still think an external table would be better.
    You can create the external table like this:
    CREATE TABLE     fubar_external
    (      col1     NUMBER (2)
    ,      col2     VARCHAR2 (2)
    ,      col3     VARCHAR2 (50)
    ORGANIZATION  EXTERNAL
    (       TYPE             ORACLE_LOADER
         DEFAULT DIRECTORY  XYZ_DIR
         ACCESS PARAMETERS  (
                                 RECORDS DELIMITED BY     NEWLINE
                          FIELDS  (   col1        POSITION (1:2)
                                      ,   col2        POSITION (3:4)
                               ,   col3        POSITION (5:54)
         LOCATION        ('fubar.txt')
    );where XYZ_DIR is the Oracle Directory on the database server's file system, and fubar.txt is the name of the file on that directory. Every day, when you get new data, just overwrite fubar.txt. Whenever you query the table, Oracle will read the file that's currently on that directory. You don't have to drop and re-create the table every day.
    Note that the way you specify the columns is similar to how you do it in SQL*Loader, but the SEQUENCE generator doesn't work in external files; use ROWNUM instead.
    Do you need to populate a table with the concatenated col3's, or do you just need to display them in a query?
    Either way, you can reference the external table the same way you would reference a regular, internal table.

  • Insert multiple records into a table(Oracle 9i) from a single PHP statement

    How can I insert multiple records into a table(Oracle 9i) from a single PHP statement?
    From what all I've found, the statement below would work if I were using MySQL:
         insert into scen
         (indx,share,expire,pitch,curve,surface,call)
         values
         (81202, 28, 171, .27, 0, 0, 'C' ),
         (81204, 28, 501, .25, 0, 0, 'C' ),
         (81203, 17, 35, .222, 0, 0, 'C' ),
         (81202, 28, 171, .27, 2, 0, 'C' ),
         (81204, 28, 501, .20, 0, 1, 'C' ),
         (81203, 28, 135, .22, 1, 0, 'C' )
    The amount of records varies into the multiple-dozens. My aim is to utilize the power of Oracle while avoiding the i/o of dozens of single-record inserts.
    Thank you,
    Will

    You could look at the INSERT ALL statement found in the documentation here:
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/statements_913a.htm#2133161
    My personal opinion is that you probably won't see any benefit because under the hood I think Oracle will still be doing single row inserts. I could be wrong though.
    The only way to confirm was if you did a test of multiple inserts vs an INSERT ALL, that is if the INSERT ALL met your requirements.
    HTH.
