how to achieve it.
Thanks in advance,

I usualy don't use the apex wizards to create forms when you need such custom functionality.
I just make the needed items, and when saving the form elements to the db i run my own written procedure en i submit the page with the request 'UPDATE' and i also set an id item with the newly created id for the inserted record.
So the page knows it should call the procedure that fills up all items with the values of the record i just saved. this also comes in handy when inserting a form in multiple tables.

Insert data into oracle database using a PHP form

I'm trying to enter data into my oracle database table using a php form. When I click submit no data is added. Could someone help me please. I'm new to php/oracle thing.
NOTE: I don't have any problem connecting to the database using php.
Here is the code I'm using:
<?php
// just print form asking for name if none was entered
if( !isset($query)) {
echo "<form action=\"$uri\" method=post>\n";
echo "<p>Enter Name: ";
echo "<input type=text size=100 maxlength=200 name=data value=\"$data\">\n";
echo "<br><input type=submit name=submit value=Submit>\n";
echo "</form>\n";
exit;
// insert client's name
$query = "INSERT INTO client (name) VALUES ($data)";
// connect to Oracle
$username = "xxxx";
$paswd = "yyyyyy";
$dbstring = "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)".
"(HOST=patriot.gmu.edu)(PORT=1521))".
"(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=COSC)))";
$db_conn = ocilogon($username, $paswd, $dbstring);
$stmt = OCIParse($db_conn, $query);
OCIExecute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);
OCIFreeStatement($stmt);
OCILogoff($db_conn);
?>
Thanks for your help. I will also appreciate a better was to do it.
Tony

resumption and jer,
Sorry I cannot format the code for easy reading!
The page is submitting to itself. See action = \"$uri\". I used the same logic to enter SELECT querries into the database. It pulls and displays data back on the webpage. The code I used for this is below. Compare it with the one above for inserting data into the table.
<?php
// connect to oracle
$username = "xxxxx";
     $paswd = "yyyyy";
     $dbstring = "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)".
          "(HOST=patriot.gmu.edu)(PORT=1521))".
          "(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=COSC)))";
     $db_conn = ocilogon($username, $paswd, $dbstring);
// username and password will be unset if they weren't passed,
// or if they were wrong
if( !isset($query)) {
// just print form asking for account details
echo "<form action=\"$uri\" method=post>\n";
echo "<p>Enter Query: ";
echo "<input type=text size=100 maxlength=200 name=query value=\"$query\">\n";
echo "<br><input type=submit name=submit value=Submit>\n";
echo "</form>\n";
exit;
// remove unwanted slashes from the query
$query = stripslashes($query);
// run the query
$stmt = OCIParse($db_conn, $query);
OCIExecute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);
// Open the HTML table.
print '<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="3">';
// Read fetched headers.
print '<tr>';
for ($i = 1;$i <= ocinumcols($stmt);$i++)
print '<td class="e">'.ocicolumnname($stmt,$i).'</td>';
print '</tr>';
// Read fetched data.
while (ocifetch($stmt))
// Print open and close HTML row tags and columns data.
print '<tr>';
for ($i = 1;$i <= ocinumcols($stmt);$i++)
print '<td class="v">'.ociresult($stmt,$i).'</td>';
print '</tr>';
// Close the HTML table.
print '</table>';
OCIFreeStatement($stmt);
OCILogoff($db_conn);
?>

Re: Insert data into oracle database using a PHP form

Hai its different for me, i want to display a data based on the input from php form. I see and trying your script but it didn't work.
<?php
// just print form asking for name if none was entered
if( !isset($query)) {
echo "<form action=\"$uri\" method=post>\n";
echo "<p>Enter Name: ";
echo "<input type=text size=100 maxlength=200 name=data value=\"$data\">\n";
echo "<br><input type=submit name=submit value=Submit>\n";
echo "</form>\n";
exit;
$data=$_POST;
stripslashes($data);
// Select statement
$query = "SELECT * FROM animal WHERE skin=$data";
// connect to Oracle
$username = "xxxxxx";
$paswd = "xxxxxx";
$dbstring = "(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)".
"(HOST=yyyyyyyy)(PORT=1521))".
"(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=COSC)))";
$db_conn = ocilogon($username, $paswd, $dbstring);
//$stmt = OCIParse($db_conn, $query);
//OCIExecute($stmt, OCI_DEFAULT);
//OCIFreeStatement($stmt);
//OCILogoff($db_conn);
$stmt = OCIParse ($db_conn, $sql);
OCIBindByName ($stmt, ":name", &$data, -1);
OCIExecute ($stmt);
OCIFreeStatement($stmt);
OCILogoff ($db_conn);
?>
Could you please advice me ? whats wrong with that script ?

What is the error you get? What solutions have you tried already?

Can we use both INSERT and UPDATE at the same time in JDBC Receiver

Hi All,
I would like to know is it possible to use both INSERT and UPDATE at the same time in one interface because I have a requirement in which I have to perform both the task.
user send the file which contains both new and old record and I need to save those in MS SQL database.
If the record exist then use UPDATE otherwise use INSERT.
I looked on sdn but didn't find any blog which perform both the things at the same time.
Interface Requirement
FILE -
> PI -
> JDBC(INSERT & UPDATE)
I am thinking to use JDBC Lookup but not sure if it good to use for bulk record.
Can somebody please suggest me something or send me the link of any blog or anything to solve this problem.
Thanks,

Hi ,
          If I have understood properly the scenario properly,you are not performing insert and update together. As you posted
"If the record exist then use UPDATE otherwise use INSERT."
Thus you are performing either an insert or an update which depends on outcome of a search if the records already exist in database or not. Obviously to search the tables you need " select * from ... where ...." query. If your query returns some results you proceed with update since this means there are some old records already in database. If your query returns no rows you proceed with "insert into tablename....." since there are no old records present in database.
Now perhaps the best method to do the searching, taking a decision to insert or update, and finally insert or update operation is to be done by a stored procedure in MS SQL database. A stored procedure is a subroutine available to applications accessing a relational database system. Here the application is PI server.   If you need further help on how to write and call stored procedure in MS SQL you can look into these links
http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/databases/ms-sql/threads/146829
http://www.sqlteam.com/article/stored-procedures-parameters-inserts-and-updates
[ This part you can ignore, Since its not sure that you will face this situation
    Still you might face some problems while your scenario runs. Lets consider this scenario, after the stored procedure searches the database it found no rows. Thus you proceed with an insert operation. If your database table is being accessed by multiple applications (or users) other than yours then it is very well possible that after the search operation completed with a null result, an insert/update operation has been performed by some other application with the same primary key. Now when you are trying to insert another row with same primary key you get an error message like "duplicate entry not possible for same primary key value". Thus you need to be careful in this respect. MS SQL has a feature called "exclusive locks ". Look into these links for more details on the subject
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa213039(v=sql.80).aspx
http://www.mssqlcity.com/Articles/Adm/SQL70Locks.htm

http://www.mollerus.net/tom/blog/2008/03/using_mssqls_nolock_for_faster_queries.html
    There must be other methods to avoid this problem. But the point is you need to be sure that all access to database for insert/update operations are isolated.

Oracle forms 10g,multiple insert and update problem

Hi,
I have tabular form(4 records displayed) with one datablock(based on a view).
After querying the form could not update all the records but only first record value can select from LOV.
I called a procedure in in-insert and on-update
The query is lik this

          END IF;
     END INSERT_ROW;
END MAPPING;
Whether the table gets looked or sholud i use some other trigger or loops ?
someone suggest me how to edit this query for multiple update.
Thanks
sat33

I called a procedure in in-insert and on-updateWhy are you writing this code in the first place? If you have a block based on an updatable view, just let Forms do the inserts and updates.
If it's not an updatable view, use instead of triggers on the view.
See this current thread too:

Kindly Regards...

You might be better off combining into your attack the use of user_dependencies. This will tell you what objects e.g., code is dependent on your table and then you can search the source of those modules for inserts and updates into the table. Even then you'll never be sure, especially if dynamic SQL is used as the statement may be pieced together from various bits if strings, as then user_dependencies won't contain the reference.

Steps
1. Create an entry in tnsnames.ora for the remote oracle DB
2. Test sqlplus user/pass@remote
3. create a synonym which points to a table at remote DB check docs.oracle.com
4. user ABAP code execute SQL to insert data into local synonym which inturn updates the remote DB.
I have done this in the past, it works great.

Currently I am having one interface which updates one SQL server database.
I want to change that interface for updating different SQL server databases depending on the data coming from ERP.
Is it possible?

APEX - tabular form update

Hey guys,
as per client's request, we need to insert rows into db from tabular form even there is no change on the new row. db table is configured to have nullable fields.
Currently, it won't allow me to do so. Is there any way to force the insert/update without checking if the information on the row is updated?
Thanks a lot

You can do it, using manular tabular form.
When you use automated Tabular Forms, it checks inbuilt global variables, to see row is updated or any new row is created and all necessary fields are keyed in.
If you don't update an existing row, that row will not be updated..
If you create/add new empty row and don't key in values, that row will not be inserted as there is no data..
If you want to do in that manner, make your MRU process on the page to never and write your own manual MRU

Not Properly Insert and Update in ODI interfaces

Dear Brothers,
The records are not inserting and updating even the CDC captured in the journal in one of my package. But, stopped and execute again then there is inserts and updates. I am not able to understand where the problem is. Can u suggest regarding the issue.

Dear Bro,
I am capturing CDC using consistent set. I am using (LKM SQL to DB2 UDB). While executing the package, the records are locked and extend window, but there is no inserts and updates into the database. It is throwing error as row index out of range while running the query. The query is running in Source Stage for ex. RTO_STAGE.JV$NUMGEN. query is triggering but records are not properly inserted and updated in the target.
First time i saw in the CDC table, there was some 10 records available while executing no insert and update. Then, i stopped it and execute it again at that time i checked in the CDC table ie., the same table, but there was only 2 records available in CDC the old records were disappeared.
I dont know the exact issue? My colleague is telling may be SNP tables not refreshing. Kindly suggest any solution.

Updating a database using EJB Inheritance

I am new to EJB's, so please forgive my ignorance. I creating the following classes that inherit from each other along with a method to update my database:
@Entity
@Inheritance(strategy = InheritanceType.JOINED)
@DiscriminatorColumn(name="TYPE", discriminatorType=DiscriminatorType.STRING)
public abstract class ObjectA implements java.io.Serializable {
     protected String name;
     protected String desc;
     protected String type;
@Entity
@DiscriminatorValue("OBJECTB")
public class ObjectB extends ObjectA implements java.io.Serializable {
     protected String str_b;
     public ObjectB(String name, String desc, String type, String str_b) {
          this.name = name;
          this.desc = desc;
          this.type = type;
          this.str_b = str_b;
@Entity
@DiscriminatorValue("OBJECTC")
public class ObjectC extends ObjectB implements java.io.Serializable {
     private String str_c;
     public ObjectC(String name, String desc, String type, String str_b, String str_c) {
          this.name = name;
          this.desc = desc;
          this.type = type;
          this.str_b = str_b;
          this.str_c = str_c;
public class MyFacade implements ServletContextListener {
     @PersistenceUnit(unitName="Pu")
    private EntityManagerFactory emf;
    @Resource
    private UserTransaction utx;
    public MyFacade() { }
    public void contextDestroyed(ServletContextEvent sce) {
        if (emf.isOpen()) emf.close();
    public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent sce) {
        ServletContext context = sce.getServletContext();
        context.setAttribute("MyFacade", this);
     public void updateObject(ObjectA obj) {
        EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
        try{
            utx.begin();
            em.merge(obj);
            utx.commit();
        } catch(Exception exe){
            try {
                utx.rollback();
            } catch (Exception e) {}
            throw new RuntimeException("Error updating obj", exe);
        } finally {
            em.close();
}If I do the following:
     String name = "test name";
     String desc = "updating object c";
     String type = "OBJECTC";
     String b = "b";
     String c = "c";
     MyFacade myf = new MyFacade();
     ObjectC objC = new ObjectC(name, desc, type, b, c);
     myf.updateObject(objC);
     .....In my database, only the values associated with ObjectC get updated and nothing from ObjectA or ObjectB get updated in the database. Does the "merge" method not work on inheritance. How do I update my database using inheritance?
Thanks!

FourierXForm

did you only have ISQL for testing it?
Can you debug the form and look, if someone happens - exceptions, ... ?
after the update you can use
message (SQL%ROWCOUNT); pause ;
to look, how many records were updated

Apex, Tabular forms and Nested Tables := Headache

Hi All,
I'm constructing an Apex aplication for Performance Reviewing staff and I have need of nested tables within each line item for ongoing comments during the year, the headings of which are drawn from another table, based on a template for which ones are to be used at any given time.
I'd like to be able to use a tabular form to draw out the history of comments at any given time and modify them however I'm at a complete loss as to how to get this working with a tabular form in Apex. If anyone could point me at some good documentation on the subject or even suggest a better method to get this done I'd be very grateful.
Thanks!

Hi,
Take a look at this article:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/misc/ObjectViewsAndNestedTables.php
First, create a view as described on your nested and other table(s), with 'Instead Of' triggers handling the DML. Next create the tabular form based on the view. You'll find many posts in the forum regarding building a tablular form based on a view.
