Insert a field and update the same row.

Question

Hi,
I am inserting a value in a row.
And later within a cursor loop I am trying to update the same row. But it is not working....
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure Del_Note_stage
Is
v_delNote Delivery_Note.Delivery_Note_id%type;
Cursor C1 is Select Heading_Name,File_Data from Sqlload_Stage;
Begin
dbms_output.put_line('i am here a ');
Select Delivery_Note_Id_Seq.nextval into v_delNote from dual;
Insert into DELIVERY_NOTE_STAGING(Delivery_Note_ID,LUT,LUB,PROCESSED) Values(v_delNote,sysdate,'Config','N');
commit;
dbms_output.put_line('i am here b'||v_delNote);
For sqlload_rec in C1
   Loop
    dbms_output.put_line(sqlload_rec.Heading_Name);
    dbms_output.put_line('Del Note Id is :'||v_delNote);
    update DELIVERY_NOTE_STAGING  set deployed_by='TOM' where delivery_note_id=v_delNote;
End loop;
End;

But it is not working....Why not?

Why are you updating after inserting?
Just add deployed_by to the insert statement, or use a default value for that column.
Also you don't need to select your Delivery_Note_Id_Seq.nextval from dual, just use it in your insert statement.
Something like:
Insert into DELIVERY_NOTE_STAGING(Delivery_Note_ID,LUT,LUB,PROCESSED,deployed_by )
Values( Delivery_Note_Id_Seq.nextval,sysdate,'Config','N', 'TOM' /*or USER*/);
