How to INSERT INTO a specific row?

I have a form with a calendar at the top, below it is a list of items each with a check box.
Here is a wonderful visual of it -
Calendar
Checkbox | Col | Col | Col
Checkbox | Col | Col | Col
Checkbox | Col | Col | Col
I want it so you select the date and it gets passed into the database in the same row as the one (definitely one, multiple is better) that has been checked by the user.
I was trying an INSERT INTO with a WHERE statement but apparently you can't do that. So if I can use a WHERE with INSERT INTO, how can I identify which row to insert the info?
Currently it is passing the dates but it creates a new row.
I didn't think posting the code is neccisary for this question but if anyone wants to see it let me know and I will post it.
THANKS!

Ah, ok, I will try UPDATE.
Right now my form looks like this...
<cfform name="requestform" role="form"action="resources/requestform.cfm" method="post" width="375" height="350" >
    <label for="startdate">Start Date:</label>
      <label for="enddate">Finish Date:</label>

        endRange="#Form.enddate#"

        dayNames="SU,MO,TU,WE,TH,FR,SA"
        firstDayOfWeek="1"
        monthNames="JAN, FEB, MAR, APR, MAY, JUN, JUL, AUG, SEP, OCT, NOV, DEC"
        style="rollOverColor:##FF0000"
        width="200" height="150">
            <cfinput type="dateField" name="startdate" label="Start Date" width="100" value="#Form.startdate#">
            <cfinput type="dateField" name="enddate" label="End Date" width="100" value="#Form.enddate#">
    </div>
<cfinclude
    template = "resources/query.cfm">
    <span class="label label-default">Equipment List</span>
    <table class="table table-bordered table-striped">
        <tr>
            <td><b>Select</b></td>
            <td><b>Name</b></td>
            <td><b>Description</b></td>
            <td><b>Status</b></td>
        </tr>
    <cfloop query = "equiplist">
        <cfoutput>
        <tr>
            <td>
                <cfinput name="status" type="checkbox" value="#serial#">Select:</cfinput>
                <cfinput name="serial"type="text"style="display:none" value="#serial#">
            </td>
            <td>#name#</td>
            <td>#descrip#</td>
            <td>#status#</td>
        </tr>
        </cfoutput>
</cfloop>
</table>
      <cfinput class="btn btn-default" type="Submit" value="Submit" name="addsubmit"></cfinput>
</cfform>
And the action page looks like this...
<cfquery
        name = "requestform"
        dataSource = "db_cie">
        UPDATE equip
        SET STATUS="Out",
        WHERE serial='#status#'
</cfquery>
<cflocation
    url = "../request.cfm">
But I am getting an error "invalid.user.table.column, table.column, or table specification. But the error message shows the SQL output and it looks correct...UPDATE equip SET STATUS="Out" WHERE serial="325255"... it IS getting the serial number variable passed from the form. ...No update though. Is my action form written wrong?

How to insert into a table with a nested table which refer to another table

Hello everybody,
As the title of this thread might not be very understandable, I'm going to explain it :
In a context of a library, I have an object table about Book, and an object table about Subscriber.
In the table Subscriber, I have a nested table modeling the Loan made by the subscriber.
And finally, this nested table refers to the Book table.
Here the code concerning the creation of theses tables :
Book :
create or replace type TBook as object
number int,
title varchar2(50)
Loan :
create or replace type TLoan as object
book ref TBook,
loaning_date date
create or replace type NTLoan as table of TLoan;
Subscriber :
create or replace type TSubscriber as object
sub_id int,
name varchar2(25)
loans NTLoan
Now, my problem is how to insert into a table of TSubscriber... I tried this query, without any success...
insert into OSubscriber values
*(1, 'LEVEQUE', NTLoan(*
select TLoan(ref(b), '10/03/85') from OBook b where b.number = 1)
Of course, there is an occurrence of book in the table OBook with the number attribute 1.
Oracle returned me this error :
SQL error : ORA-00936: missing expression

How to insert into a table from 3 tables?

Hello,
How to insert into a table getting values from 3 different tables?
For example table_A has col_1 to col_10.
I want to insert into table_A,
values: col_1 to col_4 are from table_B,
col_5 is from table_C,
col_6 to col_10 are from table_D.
Thanks!

Normally, you'd do this by joining B, C, and D together. In the simplest case, something like
INSERT INTO A( col1, ... col10 )
SELECT B.col1, ..., B.col4,
         C.col5,
         D.col6, ..., D.col10
    FROM B,
         C,
         D,
   WHERE B.someKeyColumn = C.someKeyColumn
     AND C.anotherKeyColumn = D.anotherKeyColumnYou'd have to know how the data in B, C, and D relate to fill in the WHERE clause. This basically tells Oracle how to match the data in a particular row in B with the data in a particular row in C with the data in a particular row in D.

How to insert into 2 tables from the same page (with one button link)

Hi,
I have the following 2 tables....
Employees
emp_id number not null
name varchar2(30) not null
email varchar2(50)
hire_date date
dept_id number
PK = emp_id
FK = dept_id
Notes
note_id number not null
added_on date not null
added_by varchar2(30) not null
note varchar2(4000)
emp_id number not null
PK = note_id
FK = emp_id
I want to do an insert into both tables via the application and also via the same page (with one button link). I have made a form to add an employee with an add button - adding an employee is no problem.
Now, on the same page, I have added a html text area in another region, where the user can write a note. But how do I get the note to insert into the Notes table when the user clicks the add button?
In other words, when the user clicks 'add', the employee information should be inserted into the Employees table and the note should be inserted into the Notes table.
How do I go about doing this?
Thanks.

How to insert into table from an Datatable ?

Hi Friend,
I have a datatable that is created at some point in my SSIS as an object.
I need to insert the data into a sql table, how should I do that ?
I have this:
        Dim oleDA As New OleDbDataAdapter
        Dim dt As New DataTable
        Dim col As DataColumn
        Dim row As DataRow
        Dim sMsg As String
        oleDA.Fill(dt, Dts.Variables("history").Value
and want to insert into a table in a SQL DB
        Dim sqlCon As New SqlClient.SqlConnection("server=Myserver\SQL2008R2;database=MyDB;Integrated Security=SSPI")
        Dim sqlreader As SqlClient.SqlDataReader
        sqlCon.Open()
Thanks in advance,
Pat
Patrick Alexander

Convert it to a ADO .Net recordset and store it in a object variable in SSIS.
Then you can use it to populate the table using foreach loop with ado enumerator

How to INSERT into table using CORRELATED subquery

I have 3 tables:
1.TEMP_PHONE(person_id, phonenumber, phone_type) - this holds all phone numbers relating to a person(just a temporary holding area)
2.PHONE_CONNECT(PERSON_ID, PHONE_ID) this table shows all the phone numbers relating to an individual. Phone_id is a unique number to identify a phonenumber and type(cell, work, home) - so in this table a person can have multiple phone ids)
3.MASTER_PHONE(PHONE_ID, PHONENUMBER, PHONE_TYPE) this is a master phone table. each combination of phone number and type has a unique identifier-phone_id.
What i need to figure out is how to populate PHONE_CONNECT with the information from TEMP_PHONE IF PERSON_ID already exists but phone_id is different. In other words, if the person gets a new phone number, i need to insert a new row into phone_connect.
Before that step is started, the master_phone is populated first with a new phone_id associated to the phonenumber/type
any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
So far, this is what i have come up with, but not sure if it makes sense:
insert into phone_connect(person_id)
select a.person_id
from temp_phone a
where
person_id = (select b.person_id from phone_connect b, master_phone c
where
a.person_id=b.person_id
and b.phone_id <> c.phone_id
and c.phonenumber||c.phone_type=a.phonenumber||a.phone_type);
update phone_connect c
set phone_id=(
select b.phone_id
from temp_phone a, master_phone b
where a.person_id = c.person_id
and a.phonenumber||a.phone_type = b.phonenumber||b.phone_type)
where phone_id is null;

It does. You are right. But that's what i need help with. I don't think my code is correct. After the insert, the code is actually updating the same exact record I just inserted. I'm sure this all can be done with one insert. I just really don't know how to show that in my code.
I need to insert a new record into phone_connect with person_id and phone_id. phone_id is already populated in master_phone. I guess my problem is how to go about creating the joins to all three tables to make sure im inserting the data correctly, or not inserting data that already exists.

How to insert into xml table from relational table

I wrote a sqlstaement that selects value from the relational tables. Now I want to replace root node "<event_start01>" with following value to the above selected xml string. My select returns root node and all nodes and elements of the root node.
I tried holding above sellected value into varchar2 variable but I get ora-00600 error. If I hold above selected values into xmltype variable then I am not able to replace root node with the following value.
I want to rplace rootnode with the following string.

How to Insert Record with multiple rows

Hello alls,
i want to ask something... how to use insert record server behavior - php myysql, to insert multiple rows from textfiled?
thanks.

It would have been more helpful if you had shown me your existing code. However, this shows the basic principles.
First of all, the name of each input field in the form needs to end in an empty pair of square brackets like this:
<input type="text" name="field_name[]" . . .
This results in $_POST['field_name'] being treated as an array of the values in each input field. Change field_name to the actual name of the input field. Without the square brackets, only the last value is submitted by the form.
The Insert Record server behavior code looks like this:
if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "form1")) {
$insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO my_table (field1, field2) VALUES (%s, %s)",
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['field1'], "int"),
                       GetSQLValueString($_POST['field2'], "text"));
mysql_select_db($database_connAdmin, $connAdmin);
$Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $connAdmin) or die(mysql_error());
$insertGoTo = "another_page.php";
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
    $insertGoTo .= (strpos($insertGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
    $insertGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));
You need to amend it like this:
if ((isset($_POST["MM_insert"])) && ($_POST["MM_insert"] == "form1")) {
mysql_select_db($database_connAdmin, $connAdmin);
// loop through the input values
for ($i = 0, $len = count($_POST['field1']); $i < $len; $i++) {
      $insertSQL = sprintf("INSERT INTO my_table (field1, field2) VALUES (%s, %s)",
                            GetSQLValueString($_POST['field1'][$i], "int"),
                            GetSQLValueString($_POST['field2'][$i], "text"));
      $Result1 = mysql_query($insertSQL, $connAdmin) or die(mysql_error());
} // end loop
$insertGoTo = "another_page.php";
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
    $insertGoTo .= (strpos($insertGoTo, '?')) ? "&" : "?";
    $insertGoTo .= $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
header(sprintf("Location: %s", $insertGoTo));
This uses a for loop (see http://docs.php.net/manual/en/control-structures.for.php) to access each element of the $_POST['field1'] and $_POST['field2'] arrays (see http://docs.php.net/manual/en/language.types.array.php).

How to insert into two differents tables at the same time

Hi
I'm newer using JDev, (version 3.1.1.2 cause the OAS seems to support just the JSP 1.0)
and I want to insert into two differents tables at the same time using one view.
How can I do that ?
TIA
Edgar

Oracle 8i supports 'INSTEAD OF' triggers on object views so you could use a process similar to the following:
1. Create an object view that joins your two tables. 'CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW test AS SELECT d.deptno, d.deptname, e.empname FROM DEPT d, EMP E'.
2. Create an INSTEAD OF trigger on the view.
3. Put code in the trigger that looks at the :NEW values being processed and determines which columns should be used to INSERT or UPDATE for each table. Crude pseudo-code might be:
IF :NEW.deptno NOT IN (SELECT deptno FROM DEPT) THEN
INSERT INTO dept VALUES(:NEW.deptno, :NEW.deptname);
INSERT INTO emp VALUES (:NEW.deptno, :NEW.empname);
ELSE
IF :NEW.deptname IS NOT NULL THEN
UPDATE dept SET deptname = :NEW.deptname
WHERE deptno = :NEW.deptno;
END IF;
IF :NEW.empname IS NOT NULL THEN
UPDATE emp SET empname = :NEW.empname
WHERE deptno = :NEW.deptno;
Try something along those lines.

is there a way to optimize the inserts.The inserts takes very little time
Re: Insert Statement Performance Degradation
In this example the same number of inserts into the same table takes 0.03 seconds to insert 100,000 rows, and 3.06 seconds when looped. If the entire insert operation was optimized away to take zero time, the loop would still take 3.03 seconds, which represents a performance increase of a little under 1%.
As I said it is not a single query by which I build a row for insert into table D, It is
a complex operation which is not necessary to explain here.This is the slow part that needs optimizing.
