How do I update a column in another block?

I have a form that has dorm room assignment information in one block--multiple rows, and a related block with check in/out information, one row for each assignment row. If the user updates the assignment information, setting a room assignment to inactive and inserting a new row for the new room assingment, then I need to update the check in/out info associated with the old room to set a 'move out by' date. I'm having difficulty doing this because the focus is usually but not always, on the new room assignment, rather then the old, when the form is committed--which makes it hard to get the correct row updated in the check in/out block. If I do a sql to update the underlying table instead, then the change doesn't necessarily show in the form. So what is the proper way to update data in an associated block when data in the master block changes?

So what is the proper way to update data in an associated block when data in the master block changes? There are a couple of ways you can do this. Which is the proper way is up to you to decide.
First, you could use the On-Update or Post-Update triggers to update the corresponding record(s). After the commit, then requery your form to display the updated records.
Second, you could use the Validation process (eg; When-Validate-Item) of the updated room to update the corresponding record(s). This is harder, because you can't use Restricted Built-ins easily with this method.
If I do a sql to update the underlying table instead, then the change doesn't necessarily show in the form.Third, you could update the corresponding record(s) through a SQL Statement and then requery the updated records.
Were it me, I think I would choose the 3rd option.
Hope this helps,

Although updating all columns for a table is VERY, VERY BAD practice.

SQL update one column from another column

I'm looking for a way to update a SQL column with a portion
of info from another column in the same table.
example of a sql command
UPDATE table1
SET table1.columnname1 = table1.columnname2
FROM table
WHERE blah blah blah
Here's the thing... I only need a portion of the data found
in the source column. I'm not sure how I would do this then.
for example, the database has countries and states combined
into one column like this 'US-DC', 'US-CA', US-FL', etc. I want to
separate these into two columns, a country column and a state
column.... and I dont want to go though all the results and do this
line by line. How would I write the SQL command so that it puts
just the country in the country column, and puts just the state in
the state column, and it omits the dash all together.
any ideas?

It depends. Are you using PHP and mySQL or ASP and SQL?
If you are using mysql and PHP you could use the following
code to loop through all records in your datatbase.
$sql="SELECT * FROM tablename"; //SET tablename to the name
of your database table.
$result=mysql_query($sql)or die(mysql_error(). " - $sql");
for($x = 0; $row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result); $x++){
//set up the variables from the table
$ID=$row['ID']; //this is the primary key
$var1=$row['contrystatecolumn']; //this is the name of the
column which holds the country-state
$var2=explode("-", $var1); //now we explode the string to get
the country and the state seperated and place the results into an
array
$country=$var2[0]; //this is the first piece of the exploded
string in the array
$state=$var2[1]; //this is the second piece of the exploded
string in the array
//now we update the database record with the new information
//remember to replace the tablename with your actual table
name and the columns country and state with the acutal names of
your columns in your table
$sql2="UPDATE tablename SET country='$country'.
state='$state' WHERE ID='$ID'";
$result2=mysql_query($sql2)or die(mysql_error() . " -
$sql2");
This code will loop through every record in your table and do
what you want very quickly.

Update table column from another

Hi,
I´m having trouble updating data from one table to another. I wish to syncronize the geometry field of the table FAROLFAROLIM from FAROLFAROLIM_OUT. By standard SQL I've tried this:
update FAROLFAROLIM f, FAROLFAROLIM_OUT ff set f.GEOM = ff.GEOMETRY
where f.IDFAROLFAROLIM = ff.IDFAROLFAROLIM
Can you help me figuring out what is wrong???
Thanks in advance
Operator

dude you are doing wrong thing...
please use following command.
UPDATE FAROLFAROLIM f
SET (f.GEOM) =
( SELECT ff.GEOMETRY
FROM FAROLFAROLIM_OUT ff
WHERE f.IDFAROLFAROLIM = ff.IDFAROLFAROLIM );
cheers,

Update one column from another

Hi guys,
I have two columns in a table, FIRSTNAME and LASTNAME. Currently, both firstname and lastname are appearing in 'Firstname' column. I would like to split the last name from this column and insert into the 'LASTNAME' column.
For example, here's what I have currently:
Line: -----
Firstname     Lastname
Peter Andre
James Dean
Watch Man
Jenna Klare
James Smith
Tina Adams
Blair Witch
Currently, my 'Lastname' column is empty. I would like to update the table to insert lastname from the 'FIRSTNAME' field into 'LASTNAME' column, so the output will look like:
Firstname     Lastname
Peter     Andre
James     Dean
Watch     Man
Jenna     Klare
James     Smith
Tina     Adams
Blair      Witch

How can I update a JTextArea from another class

I am new to Java so forgive me if this is confusing, or if I seem to be taking an overly complex route to acheiving my goal.
I've got a JTextArea component added to a JPanel object, which is then inserted into the JFrame. I have a JMenuBar with a JMenu "file" and a JMenuItem "connect" on this same JFrame. When clicked, the actionEvent of JMenuItem "connect" calls a class "ConnectToDb" to establish a connection with the Database. On a successful connection, I want to append the String "Connection Successful" to the JTextArea component, but since the component is a part of the JPanel object, I cannot seem to get access to the JTextArea component to update it. I tried instantiating the JPanel object from within the "ConnectToDb" class and then called a method I created to set the JTextArea. No luck. Can someone give me an idea of what I need to do that would allow me to update the text of the JTextArea component from anywhere in my program? Once it has been contained in the JPanel or JFrame, can it be updated?
This is the class that establishes the simple Db Connection
package cjt;
import java.io.*;

Connection dbConnection = DriverManager.getConnection(sourceURL, "Encryptedtest", "pass");

//this is where I originally tried to append "Connection Successful

Thanks gmaurice1. I appreciate the response. I believe I understand your explanation. I am clear that the calling code needs access to the WelcomPane() object. I am assuming that the constructor for the calling class must have the JPanel WelcomePane() instance passed to it as an argument. This way I can refer directly to this specific instance of the object. Is this correct?
Also, where would you create the set method? I tried to create a set method as part of the WelcomePane() class, and then call it from the calling class, but it didn't seem to work. Lastly, a globally accessible object? Can you explain this concept briefly? Thanks again for your help.

How do I update a Nested Table of inherited Object Types?

Does anyone know why the following line (commented out) doesn't work and what I can do? Is there some way to cast the column I am trying to update? I think I am going crazy....
create or replace type person_ot as object (name varchar2(10)) not final;
create or replace type student_ot under person_ot (s_num number) not final;
create type person_tt as table of person_ot;
declare
lv_person_list person_tt;
lv_sql varchar2(1000);
ref_cur sys_refcursor;
begin
lv_sql:= 'select new student_ot(''fred'', 100) from dual
union all
select new student_ot(''sally'', 200) from dual';
open ref_cur for lv_sql;
fetch ref_cur bulk collect into lv_person_list;
close ref_cur;
dbms_output.put_line(lv_person_list.count);
for i in lv_person_list.first..lv_person_list.last loop
lv_person_list(i).name := initcap(lv_person_list(i).name ); -- This works!
lv_person_list(i).s_num := 9999; Why doesn't this line work and how can I update the column s_num ??? :-(
end loop;
end;

Hi Tubby - You are right...It would make sense to create the Type as type of student_ot. Only problem is I am trying to keep it generic. I will include full listing to show what I am doing...
create or replace type person_ot as object (name varchar2(10)) not final;
create or replace type student_ot under person_ot (s_num number) not final;
create type person_tt as table of person_ot;
create table persons of person_ot;
declare
lv_person_list person_tt;
lv_sql varchar2(1000);
ref_cur sys_refcursor;
begin
lv_sql:= 'select new student_ot(''fred'', 100) from dual
union all
select new student_ot(''sally'', 200) from dual';
open ref_cur for lv_sql;
fetch ref_cur bulk collect into lv_person_list;
close ref_cur;
for i in lv_person_list.first..lv_person_list.last loop
lv_person_list(i).name := initcap(lv_person_list(i).name );
lv_person_list(i).s_num := 9999;* Why doesn't this line work?? :-(
end loop;
forall i in lv_person_list.first..lv_person_list.last
insert into persons values lv_person_list(i);
end;

Updating table column

Hi All,
     How can I update the column of a table?
More precisely, I am having a table with five rows and five columns and I already put values
in all by using the program.When user clicks a button, I have to show different values in
each cells of my last column.
Thanks
priya.

Hi Priya,
Lets say that you have a view controller's context structure as follows...
YBAPI_INPUT
|_OUTPUT
|_TABLE_NODE
    |_COLUMN1
    |_COLUMN2
    |_COLUMN3
    |_COLUMN4
    |_COLUMN5
The follwoing code will help you in accessing values in the last row.
for (int i = 0; i < wdContext.nodeYBAPI_INPUT().nodeOUTPUT().nodeTABLE_NODE().size(); i++) {
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(wdContext.nodeYBAPI_INPUT().nodeOUTPUT().nodeTABLE_NODE().getTABLE_NODEElementAt(i).setCOLUMN5("SET NEW VALUE HERE"));
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Rekha Malavathu

Updating a column in the database

Hi,
My requirement is to update a column in the database just before calling
OAException.raiseBundledOAException(getExceptionList());
I am calling the above in a method in the AM
Just before calling this I am Getting the handle of the VO (which is based on an EO, which in turn is based on the table which I want to update) and setting the value of that column as null. But the value is not getting updated at the database level.
When I query the database I can still see the earlier value and not the updated value.
In some cases I can see the value on the screen is updated but the value in the database remains same.
Please let me know how do I update a column in the database and
Thanks
Meenal

Hi,
I guess, since an excpetion is raised the transaction is not commited automatically by the framework.
Try commiting the transaction explicity after the update and before the exception. But i dont think, its a good design... anybody any idea ?!

How to update the COST column using another table's column

Dear All,
I have table:
table parts: pno, pname, qoh, price, olevel
table orders: ono, cno, eno, received, shipped
table odetails: ono, pno, qty
view:orders_view: ono, cno, eno, received, shipped,sum(qty*price)order_costview:odetails_view: ono, pno, qty, (qty*price)cost
after I update the price in parts, I need to update COST and ORDER_COST too. The orders_view does not have pno, qty, and price, the odetails_view does not have price, how can I update the COST and ORDER_COST. Please help and Thanks in advance!!!
I wrote the update the price in parts:
create or replace procedure change_price(ppno in parts.pno%type, pprice in parts.price%type) as
begin
    update parts
    set price = pprice
    where pno = ppno;
end;
show errorsthis procedure works fine.
I wrote the trigger:
create or replace trigger update_orders_v
after update of price on parts
for each row
begin
    update orders_view
    set order_cost = sum(parts.(:new.price)*parts.qty)
    where parts.pno = :new.pno;
end;
show errorsIt gives me:Errors for TRIGGER UPDATE_ORDERS_V:
LINE/COL ERROR
3/5 PL/SQL SQL Statement ignored
4/22 PL/SQL ORA-00934: group function is not allowed hereplease help!

You could add the columns to the tables and then you would need a trigger to update those columns. However, you could just as easily select the price * qty to get the cost, without creating an additional column or trigger. I have no idea what you might want to do with a global temporary table. I think you need to explain what your purpose is, before any of us can suggest the best method. Since I have already demonstrated an update with a view, I will demonstrate an update with the cost column added to the odetails table and a trigger as you asked about. Notice that you will need triggers on both tables, the one that has qty and the one that has price.

How can I Move data from one column to another in my access table?

I have two columns, one that stores current month’s data and one that stores last month’s data. Every month data from column 2 (this month’s data) needs to be moved to column 1 that holds last month’s data. I then null out column 2 so I can accumulates this month’s data.
I understand how to drop a column or add a column, how do I transfer data from one column to another.
Here is my trial code:
<cfquery name="qQueryChangeColumnName" datasource="#dsn#">
ALTER TABLE leaderboard
UPDATE leaderboard SET points2 = points3
</cfquery>
Unfortunately, I get the following error:
Error Executing Database Query.
[Macromedia][SequeLink JDBC Driver][ODBC Socket][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in ALTER TABLE statement.
How can I transfer my data with the alter table method?

I looked up the Access SQL reference (which is probably a
good place to start when having issues with Access SQL), and
it suggests you probably need a WHERE clause in there.
I agree the documentation is a good place to start. But you should not need a WHERE clause here.
Too few parameters. Expected 1.
If you run the SQL directly in Access, what are the results? At the very least, it should provide a more informative error message..

How do I update a column in another block?
