Handle the Insert statement my self.

Hi
I am looking to handle the insert statement myself via a page process. The user is only required to populate 3 fields, and I want to insert the others with clock numbers and sysdate. In forms I would have block_name.field_name is there something similar in APEX.
Insert into institution
(ID ,
CLOCK_NO ,
INSTITUTION ,
MEMBERSHIP_NO ,
MENTOR,
USER_NAME ,
UPDATE_DATE )
values
(institution_seq.next_val,
:p_clock_no,
institution,
membership_no,
mentor,
:p_clock_no,
sysdate);
Thanks
Fiona

Fiona,
Do you mean you want to pickup values from page items, which have been populated by the User? If so you reference the page items with :PX_PAGE_ITEM_NAME
Cheers,
Mike

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?

How to tune the Insert statement?

Hi ,
I am using 10.2.0.4.0 version of oracle.
i am having one insert statement , which comes almost all the time in the TOP of my AWR elapsed time section.
And its somewhat similar to as below.
Query:
INSERT INTO a (InvoicePK, CheckPK)
SELECT DISTINCT ih.InvoicePK, cd.CheckPK
FROM at,
cd,
ih,
rd
WHERE at.AttachmentPK = :1
AND cd.CheckPK = at.CheckPK
AND at.AttachmentPK = rd.AttachPK
AND ih.PAYPK = cd.PAYEEPAYPK
AND ih.PayerNS = cd.PayerNS
AND ih.PayerPayId = cd.PayerPayId
AND ih.UpperInvoiceNum = rd.UPPERINVNUM
AND ih.InvoiceStatusCD NOT IN ('REJ', 'DNY');
Below is the plan for the 'Select ' statement i.e. used in the insert statement.

The 'select' Statement executes with in seconds resulting 3 distinct records, but the insert statement takes ~20sec(Elaps time per execution
as shown in AWR report) for one time execution, so what must be the reason , and how should i proceed to resolve this performance issue?

You can do as follows:
- Enable trace
- execute the insert statement
- use tkprof (and put the results here) to see where's its taking long
Also, while insert is being executed, what are the wait events you see ?
I dont think there is problem with plan.

Convert the insert statement of an MS SQL server into an oracle statement

Hi ,
The insert statement in the ms sql server is
INSERT INTO #temp EXEC Procedurename @Id OUTPUT
where table temp
CREATE TABLE #temp(
          Id varchar(10),
          FNa varchar(40),
          LNa varchar(40),
          SId varchar(20),
          Aid varchar(20),
          Did varchar(20),
          CCNa varchar(255),
          CCId int,
          ISu char(1),
          IA char(1),
          Dir char(1),
          Ema varchar(60),
          St char(2),
          DId char(3)
I converted the insert statement like this
Procedurename(Id);
LOOP
FETCH cv_1 INTO v_temp;
EXIT WHEN cv_1%NOTFOUND;
INSERT INTO TEMP VALUES v_temp;
END LOOP;
CLOSE cv_1;
But i am receiving PL/SQL: ORA-00947: not enough values
Can anyone help on this?
Thanks

1) Are you sure that you even need a temp table? Fetching all the rows from a cursor 1-by-1 and then inserting them into a temp table (I'm assuming the Oracle table TEMP is declared as a global temporary table) would seem rather unusual and most likely pointless. In Oracle, readers don't block writers, so there is generally no need to use temp tables to hold intermediate results.
2) If you do need to store a set of results into a table, it's going to be more efficient to do this in a single SQL statement rather than using a cursor. Something like
INSERT INTO my_table ( <<list of columns>> )
SELECT <<list of columns>>
    FROM <<other tables>>
   WHERE <<some conditions>>The SELECT part of the statement here is likely whatever SQL you use in declaring the cursor.

How to combine both values and subquery in the insert statement

Hi everybody,
This is a case of inserting rows into a final results table from a temporary one. Actually, one of the fields is not always given in the temporary table. Thus, when inserting the rows into the final results table, an error message comes up to.
More clarification:
final results table(F_RESULT): field1, field2, field3 ( they are also primary keys with not null constraint)
temporary table(TEMP): field2, filed3
Is it possible to combine both values and subquery branchs of the insert statement:
Insert into F_RESULT (field2,field3) select field2,field3 from TEMP;
Insert into F_RESULT (field1) values (0);
into only one like this:
Insert into F_RESULT (field1,field2,field3) values (0, select field2 form Temp, select field3 from Temp);
Or there is another more effective solution. The main problem for me is the message that doesn't accept the null value. From the data integrity point of view, it is accepted to set field1 to zero.
Any hints?
Thanks for your reply.

That's easy, you can select any value from a table:
Insert into F_RESULT (field1,field2,field3)
select 0, field2, field3 from Temp;

I have written the whole proc with exception handling using try catch block.

UML, then code

There are fewer columns in the INSERT statement than values specified in the VALUES clause. The number of values in the VALUES clause must match the number of columns specified in the INSERT statement.

I have been looking at my code for hours now and cant figure out what is wrong. The error has kept popping up even when i thought i had fixed everything. maybe a second set of eyes could help me out here. If you could help me out it would be much appreciated.

Price Numeric (20) NOT NULL,
I do not think you understand this datatype? Go look at the values you are attempting to insert into this column. For example, "$29.99". After the insert, what value is actually stored in that column?
DateOfBirth Numeric (4) NOT NULL,
No. Just No. Either change the column name to faithfully represent what values you intend to store (and apply the appropriate constraints) or change the datatype and the values that you intend to store to match the column name. And the constraint
that you do have:
CONSTRAINT DateOfBirth
CHECK ([DateOfBirth] BETWEEN '1920-01-01' AND getdate() - 5844));
is both logically suspect and syntactically wrong. First, the upper boundary will be computed as 1999-04-29 15:50:21.670. But, of course, your column is a whole number of no more than 4 digits. The same issue applies to your lower boundary.
A simple select statement will show you those errors
select cast('1920-01-01' as numeric(4)), getdate() - 5844, cast(getdate() - 5844 as numeric(4));
An insert statement fails with the same error. Because, of course, your boundary values must actually be converted to numeric(4) in order to compare them against the value contained in the column. Generally, you can convert from
string to numeric - IF the content of the string actually contains a value that is numeric and can be converted into the specific type needed. Not so in this case. Is this 16 year period (5844 days) significant for some reason? You should
document it here in your DDL with a comment, because it is unlikely to be documented (and kept current) anywhere else.
And lastly, your script has:
SET IDENTITY_INSERT dbo.CUSTOMER OFF
That is not the name of your table, and therefore that statement also fails. The table name you used is plural.

Select Statement inside the insert statement

I need to insert the values into nav_pending by selecting the values from nav table
when i write this code its giving missing expression error
Can i know what is the problem??
can i use select inside insert in oracle????
INSERT INTO NAV_PENDING (ACCOUNT_NUM,PERIOD_DTE)
VALUES
SELECT ACCOUNT_NUM,PERIOD_DTE
FROM NAV where ACCOUNT_NUM=1;
Thanks in advance

Leave the values keyword
INSERT INTO NAV_PENDING (ACCOUNT_NUM,PERIOD_DTE)
SELECT ACCOUNT_NUM,PERIOD_DTE
FROM NAV where ACCOUNT_NUM=1;

If any one know the reason, Please let me know.
Thanks!

Hi,
Please try this.

Short Dump in Standard program for the INSERT Statement

Hi All,
In the Transaction FPCJ, when I click on the Button Close Cash Desk, I ma getting a short Dump.
The problem is in the Standard SAP program 'SAPLSUU1' and the include program is 'LSUU1F01'.
The reason is the code is trying to insert duplicate entries into a Data base table. And SAP is suggesting for a SAp NOTE.
The problem is when I am trying with the suggested dearch terms I get very large number of notes and I am unable
to zero down any single note.
If someone has worked on these or have any idea on the Note number, please share that with me.
Thans in advance.
Thanks & regards,
Y Gautham

Hi Nicole,
Thanks a lot! It actually worked.
Thanks & regards,

SAP-Script; Is it possible to handle the BOX -Statement dynamic?

Hi Scripters!
My consultant wants a box around some information in a SAP-Script form.
Normally this is quite easy, BUT in this case i have the information (which needs the box around) printed after the positions.
So problem is: the box can not have a certain position in the Form since i dont know how much positions are to be printed.
any ideas on this subject?

Hi Florian,
Yes it is possible to play arount with positions of Box.
You can pass variable name in between & in place of fixed XPOS and YPOS.
and pass value to that dynamic variable.
You have to test a lot with different values in those variables for pefect settings.
Hope it will solve your problem.

Sql insert statement will fail if the data value has empty line

Hi,
I notice if the insert statement in my .sql file contains data that has new line (enter key), the insert will fail.
For example:
insert into mytable (message)
values ('this is the first line
this is the second line that will cause insert statement to fail
so as this third line');
commit;
How to overcome this?
Please advise.
Thank you.

Parallel Insert statements (bulk) to the same table

Hi,
I am in need to insert set of insert statements 50000+ in to table and wanted to split them in to tow halves and run in two SQL worksheets.
Note that both will try to insert on the same table.
Please let me know whether it is advisable or tell me an alternative way.
Using...Oracle 11g DB.
Regards
Deep.

Not sure why you want to split it. Parallel inserts into the same table is not usually a problem. Contention could be around free lists, initrans and so on - especially if using RAC and inserting something like 50,000+ rows every second. But the table defaults usually suffice.
Note that both will try to insert on the same table.So what? This is exactly what Oracle expects and what it is designed to do.
Please let me know whether it is advisable or tell me an alternative way.Well, you mentioned SQL worksheets - why? Exactly how does the INSERT statements look like? Where does the data to insert come from? Is shared insert cursors used (bind variables compulsory)? The bottleneck and problem could very well be on your side and not with the actual inserts into the table.

Using 1million insert statement to create a table

Dear Expert;
Lets say someone sent you about 2 million insert statements and you want to use them to insert into a table or create a new table...How do you go about doing so...
because I tried just highlighting all the insert statement and executing them, however that didnt work in pl/sql developer, it was crashing everytime I did so
The other way might be to create a loop for them and inserting about 10,000 at a time...but is there a faster way to do it...
All help is appreciated it..

because I tried just highlighting all the insert statement and executing them, however that didnt work in pl/sql developer, it was crashing everytime I did soDo it in SQL*PLUS. It can handle such large files.
And let it run at night so that other users are not influenced that much by your session.
You might want to add very few commits somewhere in between. However in case something breaks you then need to know which insert was still executed and which one one.

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).
