How to insert into default values in onli 1 column of a table

if u create a table with onli 1 column
which can accept a default value of say
only 100.
then how do u actualli enter values into the table.
is there any data dictionary which stores details about default
values of a table

The default value for a column is the value that will be stored
for that column if you do not provide one in your insert
statement. If you do provide a value, then it will be stored in
the column.
You can query user_tab_columns ( or all_ or dba_)to see the
default value assigned to a column.

How to insert a default value into MS server in java - help please

hi
suppose if i have a table and one of the column has a default value when the table was created. how can i insert the default value into this column? assuming that the column is the second column and i can't specify the column name when inserting. thanks.

thanks for ur response, so if i have insert statement as follow
insert into someTable values (1,'val1', 'val2', 'val3', 'val4')
and column 3 has default value = DEFAULT
then, to insert default value, my insert statement will look like this
insert into someTable values (1,'val1', 'val3', 'val4')
but the number of values will not match the number of columns.

Based on input file i need to update default values to some columns of database table using bulk copy process

Hi Team,
Am using BULK INSERT Format file option to load data into table from .txt file here am facing an issue i.e ibased on input file i need to insert default values to some columns of table so we can not declare it on table level, Can we give default values in
format file ? if we can give how it is ? or Any alternate possibilities to this scenario instead of BULK INSERT ?
Thanks,
Sudhakar

Thanks for your response, here i don't have any rights to change table structure the table is created by different team, my work is to load data from file to table. Is there any chance to supply default values by*XML* format file instead of *.fmt* file
please let me know the possibility.
Again, no. If you want to supply default values that are not present in DEFAULT constraints in the table definition, you will need to write your own code. There are plentyfull of options, and I have mentioned some already.
Here are some more:
* Table-valued parameters, see here for examples:
http://www.sommarskog.se/arrays-in-sql-2008.html
* Use BULK INSERT to load data to a staging table, and then apply the default values when you copy from staging to target.

How to map single input value to Two columns of Database table using format file of Bulk Copy Process

Hi All,
Am using OPENROWSET to load the file data into table, here the problem is i need to map same input value to two different columns of table, As format file doesn't allow the duplicate numbers am unable to insert same value to two columns, please help me to
find a solution for this.
i can use only OPENROWSET because i need to insert some default values also which come based on file. only the problem is how to map same input value to two different columns of table. please give me the suggestions.
Thanks,
Sudhakar

From what you say:
INSERT tbl(col1, col2)
SELECT col1, col1
FROM OPENROWSET(....)
But I guess it is more difficult. You need to give more details. What sort of data source do you have? What does your query look like? The target table?
Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, [email protected]
Hi Erland,
Thanks for your response
my source file is text file with | symbol separate for ex:
1002|eTab |V101|eTablet|V100|Logic|LT-7|Laptops|SCM
Database table have columns like
column1,column2,column3...etc, now i need to insert same value from input file into two columns for ex:
the eTab value from text file has to be insert into column2 and column3 of
table
we cannot change format file like below one
for the above situation how can we insert eTab into column2 and column3
Thanks,

How to create a default value of timestamp column?

I am trying to create a table with a default value on a timestamp column, can it be done?
CREATE TABLE myTbl
FutureDateTime date default TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE '2999-12-31 23:23:59.000'
)

)Yes, but you don't have a timestamp column, you have a date column.
CREATE TABLE myTbl
FutureDateTime date default to_date('2999-12-31 23:23:59', 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss')
4 );
Table created.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.09
ME_XE?And just in case you weren't aware, storing "end of time" information like this will be rough on your queries (it skewes the cost based optimizers estimates for cardinalities and could wildly throw off the estimates for your queries, resulting in bad plans). You're better off to store NULL values, NULL denoting not known values.
Just an FYI :)

How to assign a default value to a column ?

Hi
In the Object browser is it possible to modifiy a column in order to assign a defalut value to the column ?
I have a table FICHE in which I want to assign a default value 0 to a column which type is NUMBER.
Thank you for your kind answers.
Christian.

Hi Christian
For one reason or the other you can't do that using 'Create Column' or 'Modify Column'. You can only do that by issuing a SQL command : alter table fiche modify column( <column name> default 0)

Want to remove the default value of a column in a table

HI
I have a table called User_ind. This table columns have default values as 'n' like
create table user_ind(
ind_num varchar2(1)
,group_allowed varchar2(1) default 'y'
,view_allowed varchar2(1) default 'y'
now i want to remove the default values How can i procede with this.
Urgent .
Thanks in advance.
Chaitanya.

In Oracle 9i you cannot remove the DEFAULT, you can only change it to null:
alter table user_ind modify group_allowed varchar2(1) default null
You can check it using this one:
select table_name,column_name,data_default
from user_tab_columns
where table_name = 'USER_IND'

How to set default value in matrix column

Hi all,
Does any one know how to set a default value in matrix column ?. I just want , when an event right click and add row. so i set a default value in a column field for example 'Test'. FYI the matrix is in the UDO.
so my code will be like this
If pVal.ItemUID = "Matrix" And pVal.MenuUID = "1292" Then
                    Try
                        Dim oColumn As SAPbouiCOM.EditTextColumn
                        Dim matrix As SAPbouiCOM.Matrix
                        matrix = oForm.Items.Item("Matrix").Specific
                       oColumn = mat.Columns.Item("Code").specific
                        oColumn.Value = "Test"
                    Catch ex As Exception
                        Debug.Print(ex.Message)
                        Debug.Print(ex.ToString)
                    End Try
                End If
I have run it and when i right click and add row it still can not set the default value in one of the matrx column.
does any one know how to solve it. thanks in advance

Hi Bodhi
Sandeep is right you can set value using SetValue() function
If pVal.ItemUID = "Matrix" And pVal.MenuUID = "1292" Then
                    Try
                        Dim matrix As SAPbouiCOM.Matrix= oForm.Items.Item("Matrix").Specific
                        oForm.DataSources.DBDataSources.Item("UDT").Clear()
                        matrix .AddRow()
                        matrix .FlushToDataSource()
                        With form.DataSources.DBDataSources.Item("UDT")
                                .SetValue("UDF", matrix .RowCount - 1, "Test")
                        End With
                        matrix .LoadFromDataSource()
                    Catch ex As Exception
                        Debug.Print(ex.Message)
                        Debug.Print(ex.ToString)
                    End Try
End If

How to insert large xml file to XMLType column?

Hi,
I have a table with one column as XMLType(Binary XML storage option and Free Text Indexing). When i try to insert a large XML as long as 8kb, i'm getting an error ORA-01704:string literal too long.
Insert into TEST values(XMLTYPE('xml HERE'));
How to insert large XML values to XMLType column?
Regards,
Sprightee

For a large XML file, you basically have two options - you can load the string directly as an XMLType, or you can load the string as a CLOB and cast it on the database side to an XMLType.
If you decide to load the XML as XmlType client-side, then you may be interested to know that versions of Oracle after 11.2.0.2 support the JDBC 4.0 SQLXML standard. See the JDBC driver release documentation here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18283_01/java.112/e16548/jdbcvers.htm#BABGHBCC
If you want to load as a CLOB, then you'll need to use PreparedStatement's setClob() method, or allocate an oracle.sql.clob object.
For versions before 11.2.0.2, you can create an XMLType with a constructor that includes an InputStream or byte[] array.

How to Insert check box value into database column

Hi All,
I had checkbox group in a region which is using an LOV......and having 18 items in that lov.
i.e. Total 18 checkboxes in Total. User has to select only 2 checkboxes from that 18.
I created two columns for storing two values of checkboxes. How to insert two selectives in two columns.........Moreover, How to give the query i.e. how to know which values are selected.
Please Help me in achieving this. apart from the two columns (Focus1,Focus2) .......One more column(l_spo_val) is there which is a foreign key.
My Insert Statement is like this:
INSERT INTO SPO_RESEARCH_FOCUS VALUES(l_spo_val
,:P4_RESEARCH_LIST_1
,:P4_RESEARCH_LIST_2);
Please narrate the code if possible.
Thanks,
Sekhar.

Hi Denes,
I saw the example in your workspace and it is the same what exactly i want and instead of storing in one column i want to store the two selected values into two different columns. Also i need to restrict the selection of checkboxes upto 2 only. So If the user tries to select the third check box it doesnt have to accept.
Even I am ready to change my table as according to your example i.e. creating only one column. Store the values of selection into that column.
I was unable to see how u wrote the logic (Code) for your example in your workspace. It helps alot if you provide me the code for that example(Multi Checkbox One Column).
I was facinated after watching your examples in your workspace and am very much interested to know more about Apex.
Please help me insolving this as it is long pending issue for my requirement.
Thanks a lot again,
Sekhar.

How to use Default value in a column in Tabular form in insertion or upda

Hello,
I am trying to use Default values so that user need not have to enter data, but when I select default type and put a default value, I see an error message, if I try to add a new row.
How can I use a default value in a Column in a Tabular Form?
Gouri
Edited by: user1046395 on Apr 3, 2009 9:58 AM

Gouri,
You can just simply edit to each column's report attribute. For example,
To set default date,
Default Type: PL/SQL Expression of Function
Default: sysdate
To set default text,
Default Type: PL/SQL Expression of Function
Default: *'CLERK'*
If you still have an error, what is the error message?

How to set a default value in dropdown list in Wendynpro ABAP? Help!

Hi Experts,
       I have Webdynpro for ABAP application that shows a DropdownwithKey UI element.
1. I am able to populate the dropdown list. But by default the list is not showing any value. Only when I select a value from the list then it shows it.
So how to set the default value to the first value in the list? Any code sample will be really helpfull.
I have written the following code:
method WDDOINIT .
DATA:
    node_category TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info.
node_category = WD_CONTEXT->GET_NODE_INFO( ).
node_category = node_category->GET_CHILD_NODE( 'CATEGORY' ).
data:    LT_VALUESET type WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE_LIST,
           L_VALUE type WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE.
L_VALUE-VALUE      = 'V1'.
L_VALUE-TEXT    = 'yesterday'.
INSERT L_VALUE into table LT_VALUESET.
L_VALUE-VALUE      = 'V2'.
L_VALUE-TEXT    = 'today'.
INSERT L_VALUE into table LT_VALUESET.
L_VALUE-VALUE      = 'V3'.
L_VALUE-TEXT    = 'tomorrow'.
INSERT L_VALUE into table LT_VALUESET.
node_category->SET_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_SET(
             NAME = 'CAT_VALUE'
             VALUE_SET = LT_VALUESET ).
endmethod.
Note that: I am using webdynpro for ABAP.
Thanks
Gopal

I am not sure how it works in Web Dynpro for ABAP, but in Web Dynpro for Java to set default drop down value you will have to set the value for particular attribute (which is linked to the dropdown element) in the context
like
wdContext.currentContext<nodeName>Element.set<FieldName>(<defalut value>)
This generally done in Initialization method of the controller.

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.
