Insert a record into a table through email in an Oracle APEX application

I developed an Oracle APEX application, there is a table called events. I can insert/update/delete a record in the table through browser. I am thinking in order to quickly do the data entry, user should be able to send an email, then the table should be inserted with values from email address, timestamp, subject and body. Anyd idea how to realize this functionality?

Start by checking whether your mail server provides any API's for accessing emails , if it does you might be able to reduce a lot of work by using some kind of web service consumer from apex to your mail server. In any case your implementation is going to be dependent on your Mail Server configuration.
Your problem breaks down to reading/accessing mails from the mail server from PLSQL (apex is driven by PLSQL).
I found this other thread which could be of some use.
WAY TO ACCESS A MAIL SERVER FROM ORACLE APEX
<li>The following package might solve your problem directly(from carsten czarski of the German Apex community)
[url http://plsqlmailclient.sourceforge.net]http://plsqlmailclient.sourceforge.net
PS: POP3 support is still TBD.
<li>I also found this posting in the orafaq forums which lists a java method and PLSQL code bit for it for accessing emails via POP3
[url http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/80928/2/]http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/80928/2/
If these do not work for you, find some java library to read mail from your server, write a PLSQL wrapper for it and use it in a scheduled job(DBMS_JOB)/a PLSQL block triggered from Apex.
If you get stuck there, find some utility that can read mails, invoke them from your DB using java,shell scrpt,dbms_scheduler etc and use the utility's function for the rest.
NOTE: I haven't tried any of these utilities and you must validate any java code before running them on your environment.
Since aren't really much restrictions(other than spam checks) in sending a mail to your mail account, you might want to consider filtering out the mails from which you create records.

Inserting new records into database table at runtime

Hi all ,
How to insert new records into database table at runtime on click update?
Thanks.

Hi Sasikala,
Just for your understanding am giving a sample code snippet which you can use to read the contents of your Table UI element & save the data on to your database. Suppose you have a button up on pressing which you want to read the data from your screens table & save on to the database then you can proceed as shown below:
1) Obtain the reference of your context node.
2) Fetch all the data present in your table into an internal table using methods of if_wd_context_node
3) Use your normal ABAP logic to update the database table with the data from your internal table
In my example I have a node by name SFLIGHT_NODE and under this I have the desired attributes from SFLIGHT. Am displaying these in an editable table & the user would press up on a push button after making the necessary changes to the tables data. I would then need to obtain the tables information & save on to the database.
data: node_sflight           type ref to if_wd_context_node,
        elem_sflight           type ref to if_wd_context_element,
        lt_elements            type WDR_CONTEXT_ELEMENT_SET,
       stru_sflight           type if_main=>element_sflight_node,
       it_flights             type if_main=>elements_sflight_node.
"   navigate from <CONTEXT> to <SFLIGHT_NODE> via lead selection
    node_sflight_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'SFLIGHT_NODE' ).
   lt_elements = node_sflight->get_elements( ).
"   Get all the rows from the table for saving on to the database
    loop at lt_elements into elem_sflight.
      elem_sflight->get_static_attributes( importing static_attributes = stru_sflight ).
      append stru_sflight to it_flights.
    endloop.
" Finally save the entries on to the database
    modify ZSFLIGHT99 from table it_flights.
    if sy-subrc eq 0.
endif.
However a word of caution here.... SAP doesn't ever recommend directly modifying the database through an SQL query. You would preferably make use of a BAPI for the same. Try go through Thomas Jung's comments in [here|modify the data base table which is comming dynamiclly;.

Insert multiple records into a table(Oracle 9i) from a single PHP statement

How can I insert multiple records into a table(Oracle 9i) from a single PHP statement?
From what all I've found, the statement below would work if I were using MySQL:
     insert into scen
     (indx,share,expire,pitch,curve,surface,call)
     values
     (81202, 28, 171, .27, 0, 0, 'C' ),
     (81204, 28, 501, .25, 0, 0, 'C' ),
     (81203, 17, 35, .222, 0, 0, 'C' ),
     (81202, 28, 171, .27, 2, 0, 'C' ),
     (81204, 28, 501, .20, 0, 1, 'C' ),
     (81203, 28, 135, .22, 1, 0, 'C' )
The amount of records varies into the multiple-dozens. My aim is to utilize the power of Oracle while avoiding the i/o of dozens of single-record inserts.
Thank you,
Will

You could look at the INSERT ALL statement found in the documentation here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/statements_913a.htm#2133161
My personal opinion is that you probably won't see any benefit because under the hood I think Oracle will still be doing single row inserts. I could be wrong though.
The only way to confirm was if you did a test of multiple inserts vs an INSERT ALL, that is if the INSERT ALL met your requirements.
HTH.

Different methods involved in insertion of records into the table

hi all,
i am using Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.24.1 (Production)
Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production
i have parameters like emp_code(optional) and year(mandatory field-four digit year).
Based on the parameter i have to get the details from one table and those records should be inserted into other table along with additions columns(by hardcoding the additional columns).
To acheive this i am planning to get a cursor by selecting the necessay fields from the table passing the parameters in the where clause of the cursor.
by looping through the cursor i will insert the records into the other table.
here the thing is the data is going to be huge (since year is the parameter).
so is my approach leads to the performance issue.
i heard that there are different method of insetions,
can anybody suggest me the better way(peformance wise) other than what i have mentioned (if you are aware of)..
Thanks..

This is not really a Forms issue, so you'd better go to the sql and pl/sql forum. Here, this question has been asked many times: how do I insert large volumes of data in a table?
insert into ...
select ....
or CTAS (create table as select ....)
by looping through the cursor i will insert the records into the other table.That is really the worst idea. If you can do it in sql (insert into ... select ...) DON'T do it in pl/sql.

Inserting Multiple Records into two table

I want to insert records from a ADF swing form into two tables. In the first table the primary key is generated by a trigger and then I need to retrieve the primary id generated and then insert multiple records in another table using the primarykey obtained from the first table as foreign key.
How to do this ?

User,
If you're using ADF Business components, have a read on the DBSequence data type. If you have two VO's linked by a view link, and the FK is a DBSequence type, all this happens for you out-of-the-box.
Hope this helps,
john

Custom Oaf form inserting blank records into custom table

In back end blank records is inserting into the custom table i.e. only WHO columns (creation_Date, created_by, last_update_login etc.) values are populating correctly but the
data which i am entering in OAF form is not populating into the table.
Please help, tnx in advance.

Do you have mapping of your form fields with the view object and view attribute ?

How to insert multiple records into a table?

hi all
i have a table that name is : TiketsItem
now i want to 100 records insert my table
for example : TicketsHeaderRef=52000
Active=False
TicketsItemId=45000 to 45100
how to insert TicketsItemId 45000 to 45100 in my table
thanks all
Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful and He created the human

So, you just want to insert the serialized data into the table, without useDate or WKRef? I'm assuming these values will be updated later?
Try something like this:
DECLARE @TicketsHeader TABLE (TicketsItemID BIGINT, ticketsHeaderRef BIGINT, active BIT, useDate DATETIME, WKRef SMALLINT)
DECLARE @startInt BIGINT = 45000
WHILE @startInt <= 45100
BEGIN
INSERT INTO @TicketsHeader (TicketsItemID, ticketsHeaderRef, active)
VALUES (52000, @startInt, 0)
SET @startInt = @startInt + 1
END
SELECT *
FROM @TicketsHeader
thanks
i edited your codes:
DECLARE @TicketsItem TABLE (TicketsItemID BIGINT, ticketsHeaderRef BIGINT, active BIT, useDate DATETIME, WKRef SMALLINT)
DECLARE @startInt BIGINT = 45000
WHILE @startInt <= 45100
BEGIN
INSERT INTO @TicketsItem (TicketsItemID, ticketsHeaderRef, active)
VALUES (@startInt,52000 , 0)
SET @startInt = @startInt + 1
END
when i execute:
SELECT * FROM TiketsItem
i do not see any records inserted in TiketsItem
how to solve it?

How to insert new record into altered table

I am using JDBC with MySQL. I altered existing table and want to insert new record using java class. But it is not possible.How to do?

How is it "not possible"?
Either modify the Class for the new fields, or give the new fields default values (if applicable). If the type of an existing column has changed, then only the first option is available.
Where's the problem?

How do you insert new records into multiple tables using the same unique primary key?

I’ve created a PHP site and MySQL server using a free app called XAMPP. I have successfully created a form in Dreamweaver that will write data to a (name) table in the SQL database. Here’s my question: How do you write to two (or more) tables in the same database and pass the same primary key to both tables? In the SQL database, I defined the first field as ID and set it as the primary key with auto update. So, when you insert a new record, it creates a unique primary key for that record. In my form, I’m capturing info that needs to be stored to two tables at the same time; a Name table and Address table. Since the Name and Address tables use the ID field as the primary key, I believe I will need to pass the ID value from the Name table to the insert of the Address table to insure they both have the same primary key, right?

No. You probably need the primary key from one table to be a foreign key in the other tables. In any case, I believe you can use two methods to obtain the auto generated key. First with SQL:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/getting-unique-id.html
And the other using a PHP function:
http://us3.php.net/mysql_insert_id

Record not inserting into the table through Forms 10g

Hi all,
I have created a form in 10g(10.1.2.0.2) based on just one table that has 4 columns(col1, col2, col3, col4).
Here col1, col2 and col3 are VARCHAR2 and col4 is date and all the columns are not null columns(There are no primary and foriegn key constrains, which means duplicates are allowed).
My form contains 2 blocks where block 1 has one text item (col1) and 3 buttons (Delete, Save, Exit).
And block2 is a database block and has col2,col3,col4 which are in tabluar layout frame displaying 10 records.
When the form is opened the cursor has to be in block1.col1 for querrying. Here i enter a value in col1, and then when I click on col2 in the block2, then I put execute_query in new_block_instance of block2, which displays the records.
The block2 properties are not updatable, insertable and query is allowed.
Everything is working good until here. But here in the block2 when I want to insert another record into the table, by navigating all the way down to the last empty record and entering the new values for col2, col3 and col4 And then Ctrl+S will display the message "*FRM-40400: Transaction complete: 1 record applied and saved.*" But actually the record is not inserted into the table.
I also disabled the col4 by setting the Enabled property to No, since while inserting new record the date have to be populated into it and it shouldnt be changed by the user. And im populating the sysdate into the new record by setting Intial Value property to *$$DATE$$*.
And another requirement which I could not work arround here is that, the col3 also should be populated with the username of the user while inserting.
please help me...

Hi Sarah,
I do not want to update the existing record. So I kept Udate Allowed to No in property palette for the items in block2.
Do I have to do this property at block level also?
I'm inserting a new record here.
