  • How do I add remove Multiple rows in a table

    Guys,
    Can somebody tell me How do I add and remove <u><b>Multiple</b></u> rows between two tables.
    <u>Also, I want the row or rows to disappear from the source table as soon as it is moved or added to the second table and appear again once its been removed from the second table.</u>
    The data is being fed by a BI query not a BAPI..
    thanks,
    Naseer

    Hi Jarrod,
    Thanks for replying. Even though it seemed like it might not be possible. But we figured it out.
    We are using signals to basically LOOP and do an ADD and REMOVE.
    Thanks again,

  • How to create XML from relational tables based on an XML Schema ?

    There is no automated way in Oracle XML DB to define an automatic mapping between a set of columns in some existing relational tables and the elements and attributres defined by an XML Schema.
    However it is easy solve this problem by using the SQL/XML operators (XMLAGG, XMLELEMENT, XMLFOREST, XMLATTRIBUTES, etc) to generate XML documents that are compliant with an XML Schema directly from a SQL statement.
    If the XML Schema is registered with Oracle XML DB and the appropraite Schema Location information is added into the generated document using XMLAttributes then it becomes very easy to ensure that the generated documents are valid.
    The following example show an easy way to do this by creating an XML View that contains the documents to be validated.

    There is no automated way in Oracle XML DB to define an automatic mapping between a set of columns in some existing relational tables and the elements and attributres defined by an XML Schema.
    However it is easy solve this problem by using the SQL/XML operators (XMLAGG, XMLELEMENT, XMLFOREST, XMLATTRIBUTES, etc) to generate XML documents that are compliant with an XML Schema directly from a SQL statement.
    If the XML Schema is registered with Oracle XML DB and the appropraite Schema Location information is added into the generated document using XMLAttributes then it becomes very easy to ensure that the generated documents are valid.
    The following example show an easy way to do this by creating an XML View that contains the documents to be validated.

  • Updating data from multiple rows in a table view

    Hello,
    so far in my OAF programming, I have always selected one particular row from a table and saved from it. Now I have a requirement where in my table, fields from more than one row shall have to be updated.
    Can anyone please let me know how to accomplish this.
    Regards
    Hawker

    Hi Prince,
    currently I am selecting one row from the table and rendering a region at the top of the table and capturing the user entered data with the following code:
    ViewObjectVOImpl vo = getViewObjectVO1();
    Row CurrentRow = vo.getCurrentRow();
    //After this I perform the checks like user entered value is not null or check input as per business logic.
    if(CurrentRow.getAttribute("attributeName") ==null){
    //Add what message you want to display
    //Add other business logic.
    After making all the checks, i commit it.
    getOADBTransaction().commit();
    Now in my new page I am capturing the user input in the table itself like an excel sheet. Suppose there are ten rows in my advanced table on my page, and each row has one editable field. I have one save button at the bottom of the table.
    Now on clicking the save button I have to capture the user input, check whether there is any null value and if all the entered data is correct then only I should commit it.
    Can you please let me know how we can accomplish that.
    Regards
    Hawker

  • SELECTing from multiple rows and different tables

    Basically, I have a table with a primary key and some other columns of data. The second table has a foreign key that points to the first table then has a columns with related data. I want to write construct a SQL query where one of the columns is the primary key from the first table and the second column is a concatenation of all the rows in the second table that have the same foreign key.
    I need this in the form of one SQL statement so that I can use it to create a report in Application Express

    Just in case my first post was a bit unclear.
    My first table has a primary key, INTERACTION_ID, and several other columns of data.
    My second table has a foreign key, INTERACTION_ID, and one extra column, USER_NAME.
    There are several rows in the second table that share the same INTERACTION_ID as each interaction can have many user names. I want to construct a SQL query where I pull the interaction id in one column and concatenate all the relevant rows of USER_NAME as the second column.

  • How to define mapping from multiple files to Oracle Tables in 9i

    Around 100-200 Flat files are created every 30 minutes and each filename is different - Filename has datetime Stamp as part of the file name apart from the product code as first 12 characters.
    Can anyone guide me in How to define mappings to these files using OWB ?
    What I can do is consolidate all files into one known single file name and map the files to Oracle tables which I don't want to do because I need to reject errorneous files.
    Can anyone provide me some tips on this ?
    Thanks in Advance.
    Sohan.

    As you know, in OWB you need to define the flat file source in a 'static' way (name, location, etc. have to be defined previously), so you cannot deal directly with dinamically generated file names. One solution would be to consolidate them into a single file (which you can define statically in OWB), but prefix every record with the filename. In this way it is easy to understand from which file the rejected records came from. If you are using unix, it is very easy to write a script to do this. Something like this will do:
    awk '{printf "%s,%s\n",FILENAME,$1}' yourfilename >> onefile
    where yourfile is the name of the file you are currently processing, while onefile is the name of the consolidated file. You can run this for all files in your directory by substituting yourfilename with * .
    You can then disregard the file name field in OWB, while processing the rejected records based on the file name prefix by using unix utilities like grep and similar.

  • Newbie - How to create XML based on given schema

    Hello,
    We have a requirement to create an XML message from our system (Oracle 9iR2 with Oracle Apps 11.5.10). The XML is generated from a query in our HR tables, and must be in a specific format (schema and example XML has been provided to us).
    Newbie question is this: What is the best way to create this XML message (dynamic data coming from a SQL select) while ensuring that it matches the given schema? Most of our developers are strong PL/SQL with limited Java experience.
    Thanks,

    I've updated the FAQ with an answer and example for this question...

  • How to setup Compressor to create video from multiple sequences within FCP?

    I am wondering how I can set compressor up to create videos from multiple sequences within FCP. When I click file -> export - > compressor for a sequence and go into the program, it doesn't allow me to go back into FCP. I just get a spinning beach ball. Is there no way to set it up so I can prep a bunch of fcp sequences within compressor and then click submit and walk away? I have over 100 sequences that need to be exported so it would be a little difficult to do this one at a time. Thanks.

    Batch processing
    *Step one. Make sure everything in every sequence is rendered.*
    *Step two. Make a folder somewhere and name it something relevant.*
    *Step three. In FCP select all you sequences that you want to compress and right click (option), choose Batch Export from the contextual menu.*
    *Step three point one. In the batch export window click on settings and choose the folder you made in step two for the destination. Make sure Make Self-Contained is not check and include Audio and Video.*
    *Step four. Click export in the batch window.*
    Once that is done you can close FCP.
    Now in Compressor
    *Step five. Make a setting that will give you the output that you want (mpeg2, AC3, h.264, whatever). Make a destination for where you want to save the output.*
    *Step six. Make a droplet from the settings you made in step five.*
    You can quit Compressor now.
    *Step seven. Take the files that you batch exported from FCP in step three and four and drop them on the droplet you made in step six.*

    INSERT INTO @forumTable (a, b)
    VALUES
    (1, 'OK'),(1, 'NG'),
    (2, 'NG'),(2, 'NG'),

    ON f.a = f2.a
    AND f.b <> f2.b

  • Create view from multiple days tables

    Hi,
    I'm having existing oracle db with daily stat data, tables strangely named data_mon, data_tue, data_wed.. For my batch processing I plan to use view with multiple day data, let say for last 5 days.
    Not sure how better implement my sql statement, with those _mon suffixes to make it more or less dynamic.
    I also never create View from multiple tables, so probably I can do something that will add fresh daily data and delete 5 days old data?
    Will appreciate you comments on details and whole concept. I have prev sql server experience.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I'm having existing oracle db with daily stat data, tables strangely named data_mon, data_tue, data_wed.. For my batch processing I plan to use view with multiple day data, let say for last 5 days.

    TChange the data model so you don't have 1 table for a day.
    You just have a DATA table, and a column to denote the day of applicability.
    Then you don't need a view, don't need anything dynamic, don't need to smash your head against a wall for a simple query ... etc.
