Hai Man
Thanks for ur response Let me clear what i need
First step Fetch the records as text file and stores into table T1
and the next step is i have seperated the text using substring and stores in different columns of a table
There are two shifts 0815 to 1645 and 1200 and 2000
Here I rep IN and O rep OUT
Empno date time inout
001 01-01-10 0815 I
002 01-01-10 0815 I
003 01-01-10 0818 I
001 01-01-10 1100 0
001 01-01-10 1130 I
002 01-01-10 1145 0
002 01-01-10 1215 I
004 01-01-10 1200 I
005 01-01-10 1215 I
004 01-01-10 1315 O
004 01-01-10 1345 I
001 01-01-10 1645 0
002 01-01-10 1715 0
003 01-01-10 1718 0
004 01-01-10 2010 0
005 01-01-10 2015 0
This is my T1 table i have taken data from text file and stored in this table from this table i need to move data to another table T2
T2 contains like this
Empno Intime Intrin Introut Outtime Date
001 0815 1100 1130 1645 01-01-10
002 0815 1145 1215 1715 01-01-10
003 0818 1718 01-01-10
004 1200 1315 1345 2010 01-01-10
005 1215 2015 01-01-10
This what i am trying to do man but i have little bit problems Pls give some solution with good example
And my coding is
declare
     emp_code varchar2(25);
in_time varchar2(25);
out_time varchar2(25);
Cursor P1 is
Select REASON,ECODE,READMODE,EMPD,ENPNO,FILL,PDATE,PTIME,INOUT,CARDN,READERN
From temp_att
group by REASON,ECODE,READMODE,EMPD,ENPNO,FILL,PDATE,PTIME,INOUT,CARDN,READERN
ORDER BY enpno,pdate,ptime;
begin
     for r2 in p1 loop
declare
bar_code varchar2(25);
begin
select barcode into bar_code from dail_att where empcode=r2.enpno and attend_date=r2.pdate;
For r3 in (select empcode,empname,barcode,intime,intrin,introut,addin,addout,outtime,attend_date from dail_att)loop
if r2.inout ='O' then
update dail_att set outtime =(select max(r2.ptime) from temp_att where empcode=r2.enpno and barcode=r2.cardn and attend_date=r2.pdate group by r2.cardn,r2.enpno,r2.pdate );
end if;
end loop;     
exception
     when no_data_found then
     if r2.inout ='I' then
               insert into dail_att(barcode,empcode,intime,attend_date)(select r2.cardn,r2.enpno,min(r2.ptime),r2.pdate from temp_att group by r2.cardn,r2.enpno,r2.pdate );
     end if;
end;
end loop;
commit;     
     end;
Pls tell me what correction i need to do i the update statement i have used a subquery with group function but when i used it will return only one row but my need is to return many rows and i need to use multiple row subquery
and how can i use it in the update statement
Thanks In Advance
