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,
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 default values for boolean columns

    I'm trying to deploy some content types and columns into a site with a feature. All it's ok, except that I'm trying to set a default value for boolean columns with no success.
    I've tried to set default value at column level:
    <Field ID="{EFE23A1D-494E-45cf-832E-45E41B17F0CF}" Name="ScopeSpanish" DisplayName="Se publican noticias en español"
    Type="Boolean" Hidden="FALSE" Group="Columnas ShaCon" >
    <Default>TRUE</Default>
    </Field>
    and at content type level:
    <FieldRef ID="{EFE23A1D-494E-45cf-832E-45E41B17F0CF}" Name="ScopeSpanish" DefaultValue="TRUE" Required="TRUE" />
    But in any case, when i create a new item with this content type, default value is applied.
    Can anyone tell how to set default values for boolean columns?
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,

    <Default>1</Default>

    hi
    can anyone tell me
    How to use Special value set with Column clause to display addtional column
    how can i use FND POPID and with COLUMN clause ?

    Dear Yaseen,
                To get the value in formula cumulative,after you have created the formula for that particular key figure,go to edit and click on tab "calculations".
    In that select overall result as 'count all values not equal to zero' and single result as 'count all values not equal to zero' .
    And mark the cumulative check box underneath.
    I hope you get the desired result and please do me favour .

  • 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

    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

  • How to find default value of a column ?

    hi , alok again,

    ResultSetMetaData doesnot contain any method any such method...
    Pls help,
    how can i do so.
    Any idea will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in adv.
    Alok

    Hi,
    After you get the resultset from DatabaseMetaData.getColumns() as shown by sudha_mp you can use the following columns names to retrieve metadata information:
    Each column description has the following columns:
    TABLE_CAT String => table catalog (may be null)
    TABLE_SCHEM String => table schema (may be null)
    TABLE_NAME String => table name
    COLUMN_NAME String => column name
    DATA_TYPE int => SQL type from java.sql.Types
    TYPE_NAME String => Data source dependent type name, for a UDT the type name is fully qualified
    COLUMN_SIZE int => column size. For char or date types this is the maximum number of characters, for numeric or decimal types this is precision.
    BUFFER_LENGTH is not used.
    DECIMAL_DIGITS int => the number of fractional digits
    NUM_PREC_RADIX int => Radix (typically either 10 or 2)
    NULLABLE int => is NULL allowed.
    columnNoNulls - might not allow NULL values
    columnNullable - definitely allows NULL values
    columnNullableUnknown - nullability unknown
    REMARKS String => comment describing column (may be null)
    COLUMN_DEF String => default value (may be null)
    SQL_DATA_TYPE int => unused
    SQL_DATETIME_SUB int => unused
    CHAR_OCTET_LENGTH int => for char types the maximum number of bytes in the column
    ORDINAL_POSITION int => index of column in table (starting at 1)
    IS_NULLABLE String => "NO" means column definitely does not allow NULL values; "YES" means the column might allow NULL values. An empty string means nobody knows.
    SCOPE_CATLOG String => catalog of table that is the scope of a reference attribute (null if DATA_TYPE isn't REF)
    SCOPE_SCHEMA String => schema of table that is the scope of a reference attribute (null if the DATA_TYPE isn't REF)
    SCOPE_TABLE String => table name that this the scope of a reference attribure (null if the DATA_TYPE isn't REF)
    SOURCE_DATA_TYPE short => source type of a distinct type or user-generated Ref type, SQL type from java.sql.Types (null if DATA_TYPE isn't DISTINCT or user-generated REF)

  • Using default values for a column

    Hi,
    I am using PL/SQL Developer, where for some columns in a table I've defined 0 as default value.
    After running some queries on the table (insert,update) I realized that all the columns that are supposed to have 0 value (default), actually have NULL value.
    Please advice about possible reason.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You might have explicitly inserted a NULL value in those columns. Have a look at the below test case:
    SQL> create table test(a number, b number default 0, c number default 1);
    Table created.
    SQL> insert into test (a) values (10);
    1 row created.
    SQL> select * from test;
             A          B          C
            10          0          1
    SQL> insert into test (a, b) values (10, null);
    1 row created.
    SQL> select * from test;
             A          B          C
            10          0          1
            10                     1
    SQL> insert into test (a, b, c) values (10, null, null);
    1 row created.
    SQL> select * from test;
             A          B          C
            10          0          1
            10                     1
            10
    SQL> insert into test (a) values (20);
    1 row created.
    SQL> select * from test;
             A          B          C
            10          0          1
            10                     1

  • How to retain default value of metadata during the Revision form?

    Hi,
    I have created a custom field which shows Document Status drop down having values like Draft, Received, Reviewed, Approved. Currently the selected Document status gets saved (e.g. Approved get saved when selected) and the same value (approved) is displayed as default during the next checkout and checkin.
    The user requirement is, during the next checkout-checkin (creating a new revision) everytime the document status should show as 'Draft' value by default. Please suggest how this can be acheived?
    Thanks,
    Sarang

    Hi,
    I have already set default value fo Document Status field as 'Draft'. But when I check in a new content by selecting Document Status as 'approved' or 'reviewed' value, then for the next check out check in I am getting the same value as default. As you have mentioned, I am trying to set the default value using global rule but was not succeed (might be rule is created wrongly). Please let me know if you have created such global rule or any example available with you.
    Thanks,

  • Default values & javascript in a manual tabular form

    Hello!
    I have a tabular form that presents a new row at the top of the report...my sql statement is in the form of:
      SELECT
      NULL EMPNO,
      NULL ENAME,
      NULL MGR,
      NULL SAL,
      NULL COMM,
      0 SORTITEM,
      'N' STATUS,
      '' MD5_VALUE
    FROM
      DUAL
    UNION ALL
    SELECT...etcI used to have default values defined in the report attributes but lost those when I started using the approach above.
    How do I reference the value of an item on the page, as a default value for the empty row? For example, if item :P60_EMPNO contains the working employee ID, I would like the EMPNO field in the empty row to be pre-populated with that value.
    Also, I used to have a javascript function that ran 'onkeypress' for a field in the new row, but now I'm not sure how to implement that with the new tabular form.
    Thank you!
    Tammy
    (currently using APEX 3.1.2)

    Hi Tammy!
    You can replace any of the NULL values in the SQL statement with your default values. The only condition would be that you should have at least one field that is NULL so that the process code knows that the user has not completed the record. In my example, I check:
    IF vSTATUS = 'N' AND vENAME IS NOT NULL THENSo, as long as status is 'N' and the user has not completed the ENAME field, the record will not be created - if, however, I set a default for ENAME, this IF test would be satisfied and, therefore, a new record would be created every time the page was submitted.
    What does the javascript do? The APEX_ITEM.TEXT() function allows for the inclusion of additional attributes for the INPUT tag that will be generated. See: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/apirefs.40/e15519/apex_item.htm#CHDCDHJI
    In my example, I have:
    APEX_ITEM.TEXT(5, SAL, 7, 7, 'style="text-align:right;"') "Salary"Which adds the "style" attribute to the Salary INPUT item. You could do something like that to add in 'onkeypress="javascript:yourfunction(...);"'

  • How to use apex_item.text in a collection or tabular form

    Hello,
    I have a table with table names. (simplified)
    create table test (tab_nm VARCHAR2(30) )
    Now I want to present this tables on a tabular form with a checkbox and a text item to put the short name for this table name.
    So I was thinking in the way of
    select apex_item.checkbox(1,ids) check,
    tab_nm,
    apex_item.text(2,c001) short_name
    from test;
    Ibut this doesn't work since the c001 column does not exist.
    So I probably should go for a collection, but how do I do that and how to process the text put in in the text item?
    Thanks

    Hi Marc,
    I think the purpose is different. I want to create a 3 column report with a checkbox to select the tables I want to use and because I do not store the shortname in the table I want the user to be able to give the shortnames himself for the selected tables.
    So
    checkbox tab_nm from table item( filled in by user but not stored in table)
    x table 1 tab1
    x table2 tab2
    table3 tab3
    writing this I 'm considering to save the short names because it can give conflicts if a shortname is used twice
    Purpose is to generate tables, with sequences and triggers dynamically from the selected tables.

  • Default Value for a column in matrix

    How to set default value for a column in matrix which is of type combo(Yes/No).

    Manoj

    Hi Manoj,
    The column is set as combo. Now you need to tell SBO what constituates a Y or N. In my example my Column "Col6" must display Yes if the RENTED column = 1 and No if the RENTED column = 0. (I'm obviously using a datasource to tie the data to the matrix)
    oMatrix = frm.Items.Item("YourMatrixID").Specific

    ALTER TABLE  test
    MODIFY (indicator DEFAULT 'I'); 
    Incidentally, INDICATOR is a keyword in Oracle, so you may have problems using it as a column name. If so, you'll have to enclose the column name in double-quotes, and be careful to use capital letters inside the quotes.

  • 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.
