I need add column in a table

can someone tell me how can i add a column in a table somewhere in midle, i don't won't this column at the end of table. this table already have about 500 rows. the column i am adding it is null. can someone tell me how can i do that without losing any data.
i am using oracle 9.2.0.7
Thanks

the question is there is a way to do it instead of investagating why and so.... Well, it was for you to investigate actually to ponder on the question if it is worth it.
Anyway, I did provide you the way you would do it, if you do decide to do it.
Did you read till the end of the post?

Hi Rajnish,
I had the same issue. For what it’s worth I was able to do a workaround basically creating all the columns when I create the table. The following code works for me to create the table which is just a matrix with one Integer column as the key and the rest as type Double.
It is not ideal in all scenarios because the table columns cannot be added dynamically via a procedure at a later point. This table has 27K columns now
Of course one of the advantages of a flex table would be programmatically adding columns dynamically. This works, but maybe there is still a way to add columns dynamically from a procedure, and someone else can advise.
Apparently dynamically adding columns via procedures may have some "minor" limitations due to the need to compile the procedure with knowledge of the flex table DDL. But again, hopefully someone knows another solution.
Best regards,
Mark

I tried to alter a table using a simple script.
ALTER TABLE tablename ADD col VARCHAR(50);

How to add columns for existing table dynamically?

Hi,
I created table structure only. I want to add columns for this existing table. Columns are not fixed, according to the user choice i need to write code.
Plz give me reply asap.
Thanks
Shirisha

Hi Shirisha,
I think the following code snippet will help you.
int l_no_cols = 0;
//Get the number of columns in this variable, something like the following
//l_no_cols = wdContext().currentContextElement().get<Context_attribute_name>;
IWDTable l_tab;
IWDTransparentContainer l_tbl_cont = (IWDTransparentContainer)view.getElement("TableDataCont");//ID of Container
l_tab = (IWDTable)view.getElement("TableData");//ID of Table
l_tab.setVisible(WDVisibility.VISIBLE);
l_tab.bindDataSource(wdContext.nodeTable_Data().getNodeInfo());
for(int a = 1; a <=l_no_cols; a++)
//Creating the column
IWDTableColumn l_tab_col = (IWDTableColumn)view.createElement(IWDTableColumn.class,"COL"+a);
//Creating Caption for Column Header
IWDCaption l_tab_cap = (IWDCaption)view.createElement(IWDCaption.class,"Caption"+a);
l_tab_cap.setText("Col"+i);
l_tab_col.setHeader(l_tab_cap);
//Creating Table Cell Editor for column
IWDInputField l_tab_cell = (IWDInputField)view.createElement(IWDInputField.class,"CellEditor"+a);
//creating context node attribute for the column dynamically
wdContext.nodeTable_Data().getNodeInfo().addAttribute("Col"+i,"com.sap.dictionary.String");
l_tab_cell.bindValue(wdContext.nodeTable_Data().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("Col"+i));
l_tab_col.setTableCellEditor(l_tab_cell);
l_tab.addColumn(l_tab_col);
l_tbl_cont.addChild(l_tab);

Woah! Thanks man! it works greatly but.... Theres just 1 more issue!! i read all the javaDoc and asked help to a friend but we were unable to find a solution, also, im using the "Introduction to javaFX 2 book".
Im sorry to keep troubling you guys, but it seems javaFX isnt taking off here, and i sometimes think im one of the first in Brasil to starting learning it.
They teach java in my College, but i think javaFX is a way better "swing/interface" than the one in java. Anyway , the problem im having is : I need get the data from a db , no problem with that, but how can i insert that data? I tried several solutions but none worked.
Can you help me one more time :D ? Please!!

Add columns to a table with lob column

Hi,
Just a quick question: is there a performance penalty after adding columns to a table with a lob fied? the lob field is now the last column in the table and via via I was told that adding columns will impact badly the IO performance on the table if the lob field isn't anymore the last column. The table is on a Oracle 10.2.0.3 version.
thanks. regards
Ivan

Havent heard of performance degradation specifically due to a LOB column not being the last column in a table (although there are several issues with just having a LOB column in a table).
You may want to build a test database to test it out. It should be easy to run tests comparing one with the additional column and one the original to prove or refute it. The results would be interesting to learn - please post them up if you intend to test it out.

Needed help to add columns from one table to another table

Hi,
I have emp and dept tables. I think most of all might know what columns it's contain. Now I want to create table emp_dept with all emp and dept table columns.
I have wrote the below query it's worked too. But I think there should be some more other queries to get accomplish the same task. Plz let me know.
create table emp_dept as select a.*, b.dname, b.loc from emp a full outer join dept b on a.deptno = b.deptno where 1=2
Thanks for your time..

Plz let me know.
create table emp_dept as select a.*, b.dname, b.loc from emp a full outer join dept b on a.deptno = b.deptno where 1=2"WHERE 1 = 2" means you want to create the table, but not put any rows in it. In that case, theere's no need for a full outer join; a simple inner join would do just as well.
There is no single "right" or "best" table. (Most of us would have differerent jobs if there were.)
It does, however, make sense to talk about the "right" or "best" table for some specific purpose .
The emp and dept tables in the scott schema are great for transaction processing, where rows are frequenctly INSERTed, UPDATEd and/or DELETEd. For example, if department 10 moves from New York to Pune, you only have to find and UPDATE 1 row, and that one UPDATE will affect all employees in departemnt 10, regardess of how many there are.
What purpose will the emp_dept table have? Why is the table design used in the scott schema not best for you?
One possibility is that you need a tale that is very fast to query, even though it may be very inefficient for transactions. For example, you might want a data warehouse that is only refreshed once a day, and were you can run several common queries quickly, without joining the emp and dept tales.
Another possibility is that your data model (that is, what are the entities and the attributes) is different. For example, you may have a model where employees King and Miller both work in department 10, but King's location is New York, but Miller's is Pune.
In either of these situations, the table you posted migt be the best design. Why are you asking the question? What is the problem with the emp_dept table you posted?

How to add column comments to table

Hi,
I do not see any way in which you can add comment on column while issuing create table command. You can add comment on the column only after the table is created.

How to add the values of all selected columns in a table and display it ?

Hi all,
I am using jdeveloper 11.1.1.6.0
Page:
my page jsff page contains one ADF table and one textbox
DB:
i have two database tables A & B ,
i need 2 columns from each table . say (A.product_no ,A.product_name,B.prodeuct_price ,B.confirm)
here product_no is primary key and present in both tables.
i need to create a VO combining these two tables and put it as ADF table in a jspx page
Functionality :
my 'confirm' field is a checkbox field in table . whenever the checkbox is selected,
the corresponding price will be getting added and display it in a textbox.
Eg:
if my first 4 price values are 3000 , 2000 ,4000,2000
and if i select first 3 values , then the text box should contain 9000 value.
i need help ...
Problem:
i need help in creating VO and functionality part

Hi,
it is easy: create an entity object for every table and one view object where you select your both entity objects and join them in your select statement.
Your desired 'confirm' functionality could be achieved with helpp of view object transient attributes - for more information see: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/web.1111/b31974/bcquerying.htm#CHDHJHBI

Add column to the table
Edit report and add column (one has to click Show Related Tables Only: No to view the same table!)
Report will give error as it will be build as
SELECT ... FROM table1, table1

AH HAAA!!!!
And I was afraid to convert from the "SQL (Structured Query)" to "SQL". Probably because I blew up my other reports...
Thanks!
