  • Need help with the session state value items.

    I need help with the session state value items.
    Trigger is created (on After delete, insert action) on table A.
    When insert in table B at least one row, then trigger update value to 'Y'
    in table A.
    When delete all rows from a table B,, then trigger update value to 'N'
    in table A.
    In detail report changes are visible, but the trigger replacement value is not set in session value.
    How can I implement this?

    You'll have to create a process which runs after your database update process that does a query and loads the result into your page item.
    For example
    SELECT YN_COLUMN
    FROM My_TABLE
    INTO My_Page_Item
    WHERE Key_value = My_Page_Item_Holding_Key_ValueThe DML process will only return key values after updating, such as an ID primary key updated by a sequence in a trigger.
    If the value is showing in a report, make sure the report refreshes on reload of the page.

    Hi, I am using some sql to build some insert statements for me to update a set of tables in our qa environments. The scripts that I have created were working great until someone added a column to some of the tables in the qa env which in turn makes my scripts break because I was simply building the statment to do someting like this...
    insert into dest_table (select * from source_table@dblink);
    But now when the coumns in the tables do not match it breaks...
    This is the dynamic create script I use, can anyone help or suggest a better way to be able to build update statements update to qa tables when the columns are mismatched?

  • Urgent help needed... PL/SQL Insert statement

    Hi...
    I need some urgent help on this project. I have a 2 column table with values that need to be inserted into another existing table which has a sequence.
    This is the 2 column table:
    FUND YEAR
    29587 05
    29587 07
    Existing table:
    Name Null? Type
    LIST_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(6) -- This is a sequence
    WEB_USER_ID NOT NULL VARCHAR2(10)
    RESOURCE_TYPE NOT NULL VARCHAR2(8)
    LIST_TYPE NOT NULL VARCHAR2(10)
    LIST_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(50)
    LIST_CODE_1 NOT NULL VARCHAR2(6) -- FUND from table above
    LIST_CODE_2 NOT NULL VARCHAR2(6) -- YEAR from table above
    LIST_CODE_3 NOT NULL VARCHAR2(6)
    LAST_UPDATED_DT NOT NULL DATE
    LAST_UPDATED_BY NOT NULL VARCHAR2(10)
    LIST_CODE_4 NOT NULL VARCHAR2(20)
    The columns from table 1 (FUND, YEAR) correspond to columns (LIST_CODE_1, LIST_CODE_2) in table 2. The column LIST_ID is a sequence. I can put in sysdate for LAST_UPDATED_DT and my initials SN for LAST_UPDATED_BY. This is going to be for 2 unique WEB_USER_IDs which would be in the WHERE clause. I will be inserting 2200 rows for each id. A single insert statement would look like this -
    INSERT INTO EXISTING_TBL (list_id,web_user_id,resource_type,list_type,list_name,list_code_1,list_code_2,list_code_3,list_code_4,last_updated_dt,last_updated_by) VALUES ('470027','WEBUSER','GL','FUNDFYF',' FUND BALANCE SUM','12010','01',' ',' ',{ts '2010-5-19 10:16:9'},'SN')
    How would I do this to insert the 2200 values from my 2 column table to the existing table?
    All help is greatly appreciated!!
    SN

    Hello ,
    I think this will work
    INSERT INTO TABLE2

    11-Oct-11     31-Dec-11     8
    Just to explain the example, take a row with start date as 21-Apr-10 in the above insert statements, since it has the same amount for next two rows (i.e. with start date '29-Jun-10' and '21-Sep-10') these 3 rows should be converted to represent only 1 row in the result and the start date and end date should be changed per the result shown above.

  • Need Help On SQL Statement

    I am using Sybase as my back end database. I need help on my SQL statement regarding datetime. The datetime is store as a 9 digit integer in the database (...I believe it is a Decimal(30,6) format, let me know if I am wrong).
    If I do this, "select * from mytable;" It works out fine (except I don't know what the date means e.g. 998919534)
    If I do this, "select * from mytable where datetime_col < '9/5/2002' ; I got an error. I even tried '9/5/02 11:00 000 am' but it didn't help.
    How do I specify a date or datetime in my query?
    Thanks in advance.

    I execute the sql statement
    select * from mytable where datetim_col < convert(datetime, '3/4/2002', 101) ;
    I got mix result. I got an error message "cannot convert 10375584 to a date.
    Yet, he statistics window of the I-sql says
    "estimated 493 rows in query (I/O estimate 87)
    PLan> mytable (seq)"
    It looks like I my the SQL statement is correct and then the system can't display it in the Data window.
    Any thought ?

  • Need help on SQL Statement for UDF

    Hi,
    as I am not so familiar with SQL statements on currently selected values, I urgently need help.
    The scenario looks as follows:
    I have defined two UDFs named Subgroup1 and Subgroup2 which represent the subgroups dependent on my article groups. So for example: When the user selects article group "pianos", he only sees the specific subgroups like "new pianos" and "used pianos" in field "Subgroup1". After he has selected one of these specific values, he sees only the specific sub-subgroups in field "Subgroup2", like "used grand pianos".
    I have defined UDTs for both UDFs. The UDT for field "Subgroup1" has a UDF called "ArticleGroup" which represents the relation to the article group codes. The UDT for field "Subgroup2" has a UDF called "Subgroup1" which represents the relation to the subgroups one level higher.
    The SQL statement for the formatted search in field "Subgroup1" looks as follows:
    SELECT T0.[Name] FROM [dbo].[@B_SUBGROUP1]  T0 WHERE T0.[U_ArticleGroup]  = (SELECT $[OITM.ItmsGrpCod])
    It works fine.
    However, I cannot find the right statement for the formatted search in field "Subgroup2".
    Unfortunately this does NOT WORK:
    SELECT T0.[Name] FROM [dbo].[@B_SUBGROUP2]  T0 WHERE T0.[U_Subgroup1]  = (SELECT $[OITM.U_Subgroup1])
    I tried a lot of others that didn't work either.
    Then I tried the following one:
    SELECT T0.[Name] FROM [dbo].[@B_SUBGROUP2]  T0 WHERE T0.[U_Subgroup1] = (SELECT T1.[Code] FROM [dbo].[@B_SUBGROUP1] T1 WHERE T1.[U_ArticleGroup] = (SELECT $[OITM.ItmsGrpCod]))
    Unfortunately that only works as long as there is only one specific subgroup1 for the selected article group.
    I would be sooooo happy if there is anyone who can tell me the correct statement for my second UDF!
    Thanks so much in advance!!!!
    Edited by: Corinna Hochheim on Jan 18, 2010 10:16 PM
    Please ignore the "http://" in the above statements - it is certainly not part of my SQL.
    Please also ignore the strikes.

    Hello Dear,
    Use the below queries to get the values:
    Item Sub Group on the basis of Item Group
    SELECT T0.[Name] FROM [dbo].[@SUBGROUP]  T0 WHERE T0.[U_GroupCod] =$[OITM.ItmsGrpCod]
    Item Sub Group 1 on the basis of item sub group
    SELECT T0.[Name] FROM [dbo].[@SUBGROUP1]  T0 WHERE T0.[U_SubGrpCod]=(SELECT T0.[Code] FROM [dbo].[@SUBGROUP]  T0 WHERE T0.[Name] =$[OITM.U_ItmsSubgrp])
    Sub group 2 on the basis of sub group 1
    SELECT T0.[Name] FROM [dbo].[@SUBGROUP2]  T0 WHERE T0.[U_SubGrpCod1]=(SELECT T0.[Code] FROM [dbo].[@SUBGROUP1]  T0 WHERE T0.[Name] =$[OITM.U_ItmsSubgrp1])

    Please help me as to how to form this and where am i going wrong?
    i want the columns names to be auto populated when a table name is given.
    output should be like:
    ==============
    insert into tablename
    col1,col2,col3..coln)
    values
    (col1, col2, col3..coln);
    declare
    v_sql varchar2(5000);
    cnt number :=0;
    col_count number;
    name varchar2(5000); 
    TYPE string_assarrtype IS TABLE OF VARCHAR2 ( 25 ) INDEX BY VARCHAR2 ( 20 );
    arr string_assarrtype;
    BEGIN
       select count(column_name) into col_count from user_tab_columns
      where
      table_name = 'PS_D_RE_BCSREGIONMAPPING';
       v_sql:='insert into tablename (' ;
         for i  in 1..arr(col_count)
          loop
           v_sql:='v_sql' ||' '||arr(i);
          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_lINE(v_sql);
         END LOOP;
    END;

    Below is the actual code which i am trying to write:
    Since the below trigger logic is same for around 25/30 tables i wanted to construct a generic procedure which will take input parameter as tablename and auit_table and form the insert statement which will populate the column names which are different for different tables.
    Please guide...
    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE make_trigger(  tablename  in  VARCHAR2,
                                             auditable  in   VARCHAR2                                                                                  
    AS
    v_sql varchar(10000);
    begin
    v_sql := 'DROP TRIGGER  TRD_D_AUDIT_D'||tablename;
    dbms_output.put_line (v_sql );
    v_sql:='CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TRG_D_AUDIT_D_'||tablename||' '||
    'BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE OR DELETE ON 'tablename||' '||' REFERENCING OLD AS OLD NEW AS NEW
    FOR EACH ROW';
    dbms_output.put_line (v_sql );
    v_sql:= 'DISABLE

    BEGIN';
    dbms_output.put_line (v_sql );
    v_sql:= 'If (Inserting) Then
       v_Actn    :='||'''||'A'||'''||';'||
       'Insert into '||auditable||'

  • SQL insert statement help please

    alternative is to have the table with field dateadd with default value of getdate()   - then do not include in your insert statement - then the modify date use and update - starting point - my two cetns

    Hi all I'm trying to go a little out of my comfort level here and was hoping for some advice. I have a sql table that has 2 date fields. an add and a modified. If the modified date is null then I want to calculate on the date added. Otherwise I'd like to calculate on the modified date.
    Here is a simplified version of what I'm trying to accomplish.
    Hope it makes sense what I'm trying to do.
    SQLSELECT field1,field2.... ,dateAdded , dateModifiedINTO tblOutputFROM tblInput/* some pseudo code here */WHERE (if dateModified not null then ( dateModified

  • Improving SQL Insert statement syntax

    It's about insert statement syntax, in insert statement, unlike in update statement column names and corresponding values are separated in two different sets. With this separation debugging/writing of insert statement is going to be time taking activity. To identify what value is getting stored in any column, first column position needs to be identified and after that by counting commas in the values list value is located. If functions are included in insert statement then counting of commas doesn't help to locate the value.
    In any non trivial application column count in insert statement is going to be very big number and it is unmanageable.
    If column name and value are written next to each other as it is done in cause of UPDATE statement, it is going to drastically reduce the debugging efforts and there by improves the productivity of the developers.
    So I request SQL community please consider having a variant of insert statement in similar lines of update statement. This will simplify the life of millions of developers.

    Hi,
    That's a good idea! An optional alternate way of specifying the columns would be handy.
    Perhaps the reason it hasn't been done yet is that most people, like those who have responded to this message, do not find the current syntax much of a problem. We can't be sure if your idea "is going to drastically reduce the debugging efforts" until it is available, but my guess is that it isn't.
    One thing I do to make sure the two lists match is to indent the values directly below the column names, like this:
    INSERT INTO emp (empno, ename,   hiredate,                job)
          VALUES (9876,  'OBAMA', TO_DATE ( '20-JAN-2009'
                              , 'DD-MON-YYYY), 'PRESIDENT');If the list is very long, or individual values are very complicated, then I might start with a list of the column names
    INSERT INTO emp          -- Step 1: not ready to run yet
    (     empno
    ,     ename
    ,     hiredate
    ,     job
    VALUESthen use the editor's copy and paste commands to duplicate that list:
    INSERT INTO emp          -- Step 2: not ready to run yet
    (     empno
    ,     ename
    ,     hiredate
    ,     job
    VALUES
    (     empno
    ,     ename
    ,     hiredate
    ,     job
    ;and then fill in the VALUES section, leaving the copied names as comments:
    INSERT INTO emp          -- Step 3: ready to run
    (     empno
    ,     ename
    ,     hiredate
    ,     job
    VALUES
    (     9876               -- empno
    ,     'OBAMA'               -- ename
    ,     TO_DATE ( '20-JAN-2009'
              , 'DD-MON-YYYY
              )          -- hiredate
    ,     'PRESIDENT'          -- job
    ;

  • Need Help With SQL GROUP BY and DISTINCT

    I am working on a project and need to display the total of each order based on the order id. For instance I want to display the order id, customer id, order date, and then the extension price (ol_quantity * inv_price).
    I would then like a total displayed for order # 1 and then move on to order #2.
    Here is my SQL code :
    SELECT DISTINCT orders.o_id, customer.c_id, inv_price * ol_quantity
    FROM orders, customer, inventory, order_line
    GROUP BY orders.o_id, customer.c_id, inv_price, ol_quantity
    ORDER BY orders.o_id;
    When my code is run it displays the order id, customer id and inv_price * quantity (extension price) but no order total for the order number and a new group is not started when a new order number is started....they are all clumped together.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!!

    Any help is greatly appreciated!!Sorry, it's unclear what you want.
    Whenever you post a question, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and the results you want from that data.
    Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
    Always say what version of Oracle you're using.
    Do you want the output to contain one row for each row in the table, plus an extra row for each distinct order, showing something about the order as a whole (e.g., total inv_price or average extension_price)? If so, you need GROUP BY ROLLUP or GROUP BY GROUPING SETS .
    If you want one row of output for each row of the table, but you want to include something that reflects the group as a whole (again, e.g, total inv_prive or average extension_pcie), then you can us analytic functions. (Most of the aggregate functions, such as SUM and AVG have analytic counterparts that can get the same results without collapsing the result set down to one row per group.)
    Here's an example of how to use GROUP BY GROUPING SETS.
    Way we're interested in employees' salary and commission from the scott.emp table:
    SELECT       deptno
    ,       ename
    ,       sal
    ,       comm
    FROM       scott.emp
    ORDER BY  deptno
    ,            ename
    ;Output:
    `   DEPTNO ENAME             SAL       COMM
            10 CLARK            2450
            10 KING             5000
            10 MILLER           1300
            20 ADAMS            1100
            20 FORD             3000
            20 JONES            2975
            20 SCOTT            3000
            20 SMITH             800
            30 ALLEN            1600        300
            30 BLAKE            2850
            30 JAMES             950
            30 MARTIN           1250       1400
            30 TURNER           1500          0
            30 WARD             1250        500Now say we want to add the total income (sal + comm, or just sal if there is no comm) to each row, and also to add a row for each department showing the total sal, comm and income in that department, like this:
    `   DEPTNO ENAME             SAL       COMM     INCOME
            10 CLARK            2450                  2450
            10 KING             5000                  5000
            10 MILLER           1300                  1300
            10                  8750                  8750
            20 ADAMS            1100                  1100
            20 FORD             3000                  3000
            20 JONES            2975                  2975
            20 SCOTT            3000                  3000
            20 SMITH             800                   800
            20                 10875                 10875
            30 ALLEN            1600        300       1900
            30 BLAKE            2850                  2850
            30 JAMES             950                   950
            30 MARTIN           1250       1400       2650
            30 TURNER           1500          0       1500
            30 WARD             1250        500       1750
            30                  9400       2200      11600(This relies on the fact that ename is unique.) Getting those results is pretty easy, using GROUPING SETS:
    SELECT       deptno
    ,       ename
    ,       SUM (sal)          AS sal
    ,       SUM (comm)          AS comm
    ,       SUM ( sal
               + NVL (comm, 0)
               )               AS income
    FROM       scott.emp
    GROUP BY  GROUPING SETS ( (deptno)
                             , (deptno, ename)
    ORDER BY  deptno
    ,            ename
    ;Notice that we're displaying SUM (sal) on each row. Most of the rows in the output are "groups" consisting of only one row from the table, so the SUM (sa) for that goup will be the sal for the one row in the group.
