How to create  hidden column in Oracle Table

Hi folks
i have one doubt regarding hidden column creation in Oracle Table..
Let me briefly explain my requirements.
I have one table called UWRMC_MAST is table contain the following columns
        RMC_N_ID           NUMBER(10)                    NOT NULL,
       COB_N_ID           NUMBER(2)                      NOT NULL,
       SUBCOB_N_ID     NUMBER(2),
       RMC_C_CODE      VARCHAR2(10 BYTE)         NOT NULL,
       RMC_C_NAME      VARCHAR2(100 BYTE)       NOT NULL,
       CREATED_N_BY   NUMBER(10)                     NOT NULL,
       CREATED_D_DT   DATE                              NOT NULL,
       MODIFIED_N_BY  NUMBER(10)                     NOT NULL,
       MODIFIED_D_DT  DATE                              NOT NULL,
       RECORD_N_STS   NUMBER(1)                      NOT NULL,
       RMC_C_REMARKS VARCHAR2(256 BYTE),
       EFFECT_D_DT     DATE                           NOT NULL
RMC_N_ID is primary key
i want to create one column like Old_EFFECT_D_DT as virtual column
when ever i update the effective date that date should be insert into Old_EFFECT_D_DT i.e., Virtual Column
For example
SQL> select RMC_N_ID, COB_N_ID, SUBCOB_N_ID, RMC_C_CODE, EFFECT_D_DT from uwrmc_mast;
  RMC_N_ID   COB_N_ID SUBCOB_N_ID RMC_C_CODE EFFECT_D_
        46          1          74 PCTMOTR    02-FEB-11
Below i update the effective date(01-feb-2011
SQL> update uwrmc_mast
  2  set EFFECT_D_DT = '01-apr-2011'
  3  where rmc_n_id =46;
1 row updated.
But i want a result like below
SQL> select RMC_N_ID, COB_N_ID, SUBCOB_N_ID, RMC_C_CODE, EFFECT_D_DT from uwrmc_mast;
  RMC_N_ID   COB_N_ID SUBCOB_N_ID RMC_C_CODE EFFECT_D_   OLD_EFFE
        46          1          74 PCTMOTR    01-APR-11   02-FEB-11Is this possible to do in oracle , kindly give a solution for my requirement
Regards

Am having the doubt that's why i posted my quires in oracle forums.. just i want to know whether my requirement suit for VIRTUAL COLUMN in Table.

ArunWell, I'm not sure exactly what your requirement is.
If you want to audit changes to the records of that table then it would be better to use Oracle's auditing facility. If this previous change date is really a required part of your actual application functionality then you might use the application itself to maintain the previous date as a column in the table, as you say, or if you need to maintain the history of changes then add a new table so you can keep track of multiple changes.

  • How to create dynamics columns in oracle query1.

    hi,
    how to create dynamics columns in oracle query.its very urgent.
    regards
    prasad..

    Urgent is it?
    Why? Have you forgotten to do your coursework and you'll get thrown off your course if you don't hand it in today?
    What makes you believe that your request for help is more important than someone else who has requested help? It's very rude to assume you are more important than somebody else, and I'm sure they would like an answer to their issue as soon as they can get one too, but they've generally been polite and not demanded that it is urgent.
    Also, you assume that people giving answers are all sitting here just waiting to answer your question for you. That's not so. We're all volunteers with our own jobs to do. How dare you presume to demand our attention with urgency.
    If you want help and you want it answering quickly you simply just put your issue forward and provide as much valuable information as possible.
    Looking at your post you haven't told us what database version you are using, you haven't provided any create table DDL's and insert statements to populate that with sample data, and you haven't even shown us that you've had a go at doing something yourself.
    You will find if you post on here demanding your post is urgent then most people will just ignore it, some will tell you to get lost, and some will explain to you why you shouldn't post "urgent" requests. Occasionally you may find somebody who's got nothing better to do who will actually provide you with an answer, but you really are limiting your options by not asking properly.

    Thanks

    Hi Developer life,
    According to your description that you want to dynamically increase and decrease the numbers of the columns in the table, right?
    As Jason A Long mentioned that we can use the matrix to do this and put the year field in the column group, amount fields(Numric  values) in the details,  add  an filter to filter the data base on this column group, but if
    the data in the DB not suitable to add to the matrix directly, you can use the unpivot function to turn the column name of year to a single row and then you can add it in the column group.
    If there are too many columns in the column group, it will fit the page size automatically and display the extra columns in the next page.
    Similar threads with details steps for your reference:

    If your still have any problem, please try to provide us more details information, such as the data structure in the DB and the table structure you are currently designing.
    Any question, please feel free to let me know.
    Best Regards

  • How to create new database on Oracle 10g

    Hi All,
    Can any one tell me how to create new database on oracle 10g.
    Thanks in Advance for your help.

    again some confusion here.....
    u said u need a new database in your first post and now you saying u need a new schema..
    one database has many schemas(users)..... ex: scott,sys,system are few of them...
    now it depends you need seperate database for test,dev environment - this is in the case u have many schemas under each database and many tables(objects) under each schema.
    OR
    You just need a separate schema (in same db) for test,dev environment...where in you will have multiple tables in each schema...U need to know the dba credentials of the db to create a new schema.
    ideally u need to have different database...You can create one with out sys/system(oracle users) password as these passwords are db dependent.
    what you need is access to the any machine where server is installed(can be the same mc where you have your dev db or a diff machine) and that will be the machine where your db will be installed (can do it through database configuration assistance),ofcourse you will need windows authentication for this.
    so you login to the same machine or access it from your machine using remote login.
    I hope that is clear.Hope i am not listing things that you already know..Just did it coz of confusion between db and schema

    loop at itab into wa.
      move corresponding wa to wa1.
    append wa1 to itab1.
    clear wa1.
    clear wa.

    wa1 is the workarea without the field which you want to delete.

    Hi,
    We can use the 'hr_user_acct_internal.create_fnd_user' API to create the users. The sample code is as follows:
    BEGIN
    apps.hr_user_acct_internal.create_fnd_user
    (p_user_name => 'XXX',
    p_password => 'XXX',
    p_employee_id => 1234(This is the person id from per_all_people_f),
    p_user_id => x_user_id,
    p_user_start_date => SYSDATE,
    p_email_address => 'XXX',
    p_description => 'XXX',
    p_password_date => NULL
    COMMIT;
    END;
    and to add the responsibility to the user, we can use the following code.
    BEGIN
    fnd_user_pkg.addresp
    (username => 'XXX',
    resp_app => user_res_rec.application_short_name,
    resp_key => user_res_rec.responsibility_key,
