Insert into one table, update another with one form

Does anyone know how to do this?
I'm writing a small system where I need to have a master project record in one table, and small little project events in a sub notes table. I want to be able to insert a record with notes into the sub table and update the status in the master table -- all from one form.
Any thoughts would be very, very appreciated :) -LR

Hi Lee,
in case your main Insert transaction provides a value which can be used to identify the master table´s primary key, I think you should set up a Custom Trigger to update a specific record in the master table.

INSERTING INTO A TABLE FROM ANOTHER TABLE

Hi,
I am having a table called emp in which 5 columns are there, I want to insert some rows from another table called employees, only into three columns of emp table through a sub query.
Is this scenario is possible, I tried so many queries but it is not working out.
Can any body help me out.
The columns in emp table is
empno, ename, doj, designation, salary, deptno, mgrid
The columns in employees table is
empno, name, hiredate, post, salary, commission, deptno, mgr
I want to insert into empno, ename, doj, designation columns of emp table from the employees table empno, name, hiredate, post columns.
Ramesh.

It looks like your EMP table has 7 columns, not 5, and you want to insert into 4 columns, not 3.
insert into emp
(empno, ename, doj, designation)
select empno, name, hiredate, post
from employees;

How to insert into 2 tables from the same page (with one button link)

Hi,
I have the following 2 tables....
Employees
emp_id number not null
name varchar2(30) not null
email varchar2(50)
hire_date date
dept_id number
PK = emp_id
FK = dept_id
Notes
note_id number not null
added_on date not null
added_by varchar2(30) not null
note varchar2(4000)
emp_id number not null
PK = note_id
FK = emp_id
I want to do an insert into both tables via the application and also via the same page (with one button link). I have made a form to add an employee with an add button - adding an employee is no problem.
Now, on the same page, I have added a html text area in another region, where the user can write a note. But how do I get the note to insert into the Notes table when the user clicks the add button?
In other words, when the user clicks 'add', the employee information should be inserted into the Employees table and the note should be inserted into the Notes table.
How do I go about doing this?
Thanks.

Fetch data from one table and insert into two tables in desired format

I have similar to the following data in a table and it is not normalized. The groupID is being used to group two records of similar nature.
DECLARE @OldDoc TABLE (oldDocID INT, groupID INT, deptID INT)
INSERT INTO @OldDoc (oldDocID, groupID) VALUES (1, NULL, 111),(2,NULL,111),(3,1,111),(4,NULL,333),(5,1,222),(6,NULL,333),(7,2,222),(8,2,333),(9,NULL,111),(10,3,222),(11,NULL,333),(12,3,444)
I need to process the data from the above table (@OldDoc) and write into two new tables (@NewDoc and @NewDocGroup) as follows.
oldDocID should be stored as newDocID when inserting to @NewDoc table. Only records with groupID NULL and one record (first one) per group should be considered (For example, oldDocID 5 is not considered as 3 and 5 belong to the same groupID 1) for insertion.
DECLARE @NewDoc TABLE (newDocID INT)
INSERT INTO @NewDoc (newDocID) VALUES (1),(2),(3),(4),(6),(7),(9),(10),(11)
All records from @OldDoc should be considered for insertion into @NewDocGroup table. OldDocID is inserted as NewDocID and deptID is as-is. Instead of groupID, the ID of the first record in the
group should be considered as parentNewDocID (For example, 3 is considered as parentNewDocID for newDocID 5 as 3 and 5 belong to the same groupID in @OldDoc table) for the newDocID.
DECLARE @NewDocGroup (newDocID INT, parentNewDocID INT, deptID INT)
INSERT INTO @NewDocGroup (newDocID, parentNewDocID, deptID) VALUES (1,1,111),(2,2,111),(3,3,111),(4,4,333),(5,3,222),(6,6,333),(7,7,222),(8,7,333),(9,9,111),(10,10,222),(11,11,333),(12,10,444)
How do I accomplish the above using SQL ? Thanks for the help.

Rows are not records. Tables have to have a key by definition. You do not do math with identifiers, so they should not be numeric. Let's ignore that error for now. In short, you are posting garbage. If you had followed Forum Netiquette, would you have posted
this?
CREATE TABLE Old_Documents

Just like punch cards and mag tape data processing! Being old and being new are a status, not another kind of entity. But that is how mag tapes work. And you even use the verb "fetch" from tape files. This design flaw is called attribute splitting.
Do you have a Male_Personnel and Female_Personnel table? NO! It is just Personnel!
>> old_doc_id should be stored as new_doc_id when inserting to New_Documents table. Only records [sic] with group_id NULL and one record [sic] (first [sic; no ordering in a table] one) per group should be considered (For example, old_doc_id 5 is not considered
as 3 and 5 belong to the same group_id =1) for insertion. <<
Think about your punch card mindset. Why did you physically materialize that redundant New_Documents table? Let me answer that: this is how you work with punch cards! In SQL we use a VIEW:
CREATE VIEW New_Documents (new_doc_id)
AS
SELECT old_doc_id
FROM Old_Documents;
>> All records [sic] from Old_Documents should be considered for insertion into New_Documents_Groups table. The old_doc_id is inserted as new_doc_id and dept_nbr is as-is. Instead of group_id, the ID [sic: which identifier??] of the first [sic: tables
have no ordering like a deck of punch cards] record [sic] in the group should be considered as parent_new_doc_id (For example, 3 is considered as parent_new_doc_id for new_doc_id 5 as 3 and 5 belong to the same group_id in Old_Documents table) for the new_doc_id.
<<
Why not use 5 as the parent? My guess is that you are trying to form equivalence classes. See:

Fetch data from two tables and insert into one table

I have similar to the following data in two tables (@Plant, @PlantDirector) and need to consolidate into one table (@PlantNew) as follows.
DECLARE @Plant TABLE (PlantID INT, PlantName VARCHAR(100))
INSERT INTO @Plant (PlantID, PlantName) VALUES (1, 'Name One'),(2, 'Name Two'),(3, 'Name Three'),(4, 'Name Four'),(5, 'Name Five'),(6, 'Name Six')
Director data for the Plants exist in the following table. Assistant value 1 means Assistant Director and 0 means Director.
Data exists only for subset of plants and a Plant may have one or both roles.
DECLARE @PlantDirector TABLE (PlantID INT, PlantDirectorID INT, Assistant bit)
INSERT INTO @PlantDirector (PlantID, PlantDirectorID, Assistant) VALUES (2, 111, 1),(2, 222, 0),(4, 333, 0),(6,444,1)
The above data needs to be inserted into one table (@PlantNew) as follows:
PlantID in @Plant table is IDENTITY value and needs to be inserted as-is into this table.
PlantDirExists will get a value of 1 if at least one record exists in @PlantDirector table for a PlantID. PlantAssistantDirID and PlantDirID should be set to the corresponding PlantDirID or NULL appropriately depending on the data.
DECLARE @PlantNew TABLE (PlantID INT, PlantName VARCHAR(100), PlantDirExists bit, PlantAssistantDirID INT, PlantDirID INT)
INSERT INTO @PlantNew (PlantID, PlantName, PlantDirExists, PlantAssistantDirID, PlantDirID)
VALUES (1, 'Name One', 0, NULL, NULL),(2, 'Name Two', 1, 111, 222),(3, 'Name Three', 0, NULL, NULL),(4, 'Name Four', 1, NULL, 333),(5, 'Name Five', 0, NULL, NULL),(6, 'Name Six',1, 444, NULL)
How do I achieve the above using SQL ? Thanks.

like this
INSERT @PlantNew (PlantID, PlantName, PlantDirExists, PlantAssistantDirID, PlantDirID)
SELECT p.PlantID,
p.PlantName,
CASE WHEN pd.PlantID IS NULL THEN 0 ELSE 1 END,
PlantAssistantDirID,

MAX(CASE WHEN Assistant = 0 THEN PlantDirectorID END) AS PlantDirID
@PlantDirector
GROUP BY PlantID)pd
ON pd.PlantID = p.PlantID
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs
You're missing a FROM

Inserting into multiple tables on one form using UIX

We are developing an application using struts and UIX. We would like to be able to insert into three tables on one form(view). How can we accomplish this?

This is more of an ADF question, you'll need to set up view object, than just drag it from the data control palette like normal.
If it's not already set up as a view in the db (split into multiple tables), you'll need to create a view object that includes all the fields you want, based on multiple entity objects.

How to insert into a table with a nested table which refer to another table

Hello everybody,
As the title of this thread might not be very understandable, I'm going to explain it :
In a context of a library, I have an object table about Book, and an object table about Subscriber.
In the table Subscriber, I have a nested table modeling the Loan made by the subscriber.
And finally, this nested table refers to the Book table.
Here the code concerning the creation of theses tables :
Book :
create or replace type TBook as object
number int,
title varchar2(50)
Loan :
create or replace type TLoan as object
book ref TBook,
loaning_date date
create or replace type NTLoan as table of TLoan;
Subscriber :
create or replace type TSubscriber as object
sub_id int,
name varchar2(25)
loans NTLoan
Now, my problem is how to insert into a table of TSubscriber... I tried this query, without any success...
insert into OSubscriber values
*(1, 'LEVEQUE', NTLoan(*
select TLoan(ref(b), '10/03/85') from OBook b where b.number = 1)
Of course, there is an occurrence of book in the table OBook with the number attribute 1.
Oracle returned me this error :
SQL error : ORA-00936: missing expression

Constantly inserting into large table with unique index... Guidance?

Hello all;
So here is my world. We have central to our data monitoring system an oracle database running Oracle Standard One (please don't laugh... I understand it is comical) licensing.
This DB is about 1.7 TB of small record data.
One table in particular (the raw incoming data, 350gb, 8 billion rows, just in the table) is fed millions of rows each day in real time by two to three main "data collectors" or what have you. Data must be available in this table "as fast as possible" once it is received.
This table has 6 columns (one varchar usually empty, a few numerics including a source id, a timestamp and a create time).
The data is collect in chronological order (increasing timestamp) 90% of the time (though sometimes the timestamp may be very old and catch up to current). The other 10% of the time the data can be out of order according to the timestamp.
This table has two indexes, unique (sourceid, timestamp), and a non unique (create time). (FYI, this used to be an IOT until we had to add the second index on create time, at which point a secondary index on create time slowed the IOT to a crawl)
About 80% of this data is removed after it ages beyond 3 months; 20% is retained as "special" long term data (customer pays for longer raw source retention). The data is removed using delete statements. This table is never (99.99% of the time) updated. The indexes are not rebuilt... ever... as a rebuild is about a 20+ hour process, and without online rebuilds since we are standard one, this is just not possible.
Now what we are observing is that the inserts into this table
- Inserts are much slower based on a "wider" cardinality of the "sourceid" of the data being inserted. What I mean is that 10,000 inserts for 10,000 sourceid (regardless of timestamp) is MUCH, MUCH slower than 10,000 inserts for a single sourceid. This makes sense to me, as I understand it that oracle must inspect more branches of the index for uniqueness, and more different physical blocks will be used to store the new index data. There are about 2 million unique sourceId across our system.
- Over time, oracle is requesting more and more ram to satisfy these inserts in a timely matter. My understanding here is that oracle is attempting to hold the leafs of these indexes perpetually buffers. Our system does have a 99% cache hit rate. However, we are seeing oracle requiring roughly 10GB extra ram per quarter to 6 months; we're at about 50gb of ram just for oracle already.
- If I emulate our production load on a brand new, empty table / indexes, performance is easily 10x to 20x faster than what I see when I do the same tests with the large production copies of data.
We have the following assumption: Partitioning this table based on good logical grouping of sourceid, and then timestamp, will help reduce the work required by oracle to verify uniqueness of data, reducing the amount of data that must be cached by oracle, and allow us to handle our "older than 3 month" at a partition level, greatly reducing table and index fragmentation.
Based on our hardware, its going to be about a million dollar hit to upgrade to Enterprise (with partitioning), plus a couple hundred thousand a year in support. Currently I think we pay a whopping 5 grand a year in support, if that, total oracle costs. This is going to be a huge pill for our company to swallow.
What I am looking for guidance / help on, should we really expect partitioning to make a difference here? I want to get that 10x performance difference back we see between a fresh empty system, and our current production system. I also want to limit oracles 10gb / quarter growing need for more buffer cache (the cardinality of sourceid does NOT grow by that much per quarter... maybe 1000s per quarter, out of 2 million).
Also, please I'd appreciate it if there were no mocking comments about using standard one up to this point :) I know it is risky and insane and maybe more than a bit silly, but we make due with what we have. And all the credit in the world to oracle that their "entry" level system has been able to handle everything we've thrown at it so far! :)
Alright all, thank you very much for listening, and I look forward to hear the opinions of the experts.

Hello,
Here is a link to a blog article that will give you the right questions and answers which apply to your case:
http://jonathanlewis.wordpress.com/?s=delete+90%25
As far as you are deleting 80% of your data (old data) based on a timestamp, then don't think at all about using the direct path insert /*+ append */ as suggested by one of the contributors to this thread. The direct path load will not re-use any free space made by the delete. You have two indexes:
(a) unique index (sourceid, timestamp)
(b) index(create time)
Your delete logic (based on arrival time) will smatch your indexes as far as you are always deleting the left hand side of the index; it means you will have what we call a right hand index - In other words, the scattering of the index key per leaf block is certainly catastrophic (there is an oracle iternal function named sys_op_lidbid that will allow you to verify this index information). There is a fairly chance that your two indexes will benefit from a coalesce as already suggested:
           ALTER INDEX indexname COALESCE;This coalesce should be investigated to be done on a regular basis (may be after each 80% delete) You seem to have several sourceid for one timestamp. If the answer is yes you should think about compressing this index
    create index indexname (sourceid, timestamp) compress;
or
    alter index indexname rebuild compress;     You will do it only once. Your index will have a smaller size and may be more efficient than it is actually. The index compression will add an extra CPU work during an insert but it might help improving the overal insert process.

Insert into two tables with a single query (same ID)

Hello,
I want to insert two tables at the same time ( with a single query) provided that both records get inserted with the same id. How do I do this?
Table Movies
id
name
Table Category
movie_id
cat_typea) Insert into first table, retrieve the id (may be by using my_sequence.currval and then insert into another table.
issue: Makes three query to the db, I am also guessing that when multiple people try to insert there will be an issue, I might be wrong.
I don't have any other idea.
Greatly appreciated!

Why don't use multitable insert ? It's available from 9i.
A sequence.nextval will return the same value within the whole instruction
so all records can be inserted with the same id.
Look at this example:
DROP TABLE A;
DROP TABLE B;
drop sequence a_seq;
CREATE TABLE A(
ID NUMBER,
FIRSTNAME VARCHAR2(50)
CREATE TABLE B AS
SELECT id, firstname lastname FROM a;
CREATE SEQUENCE a_seq
START WITH 1;
INSERT ALL
INTO A(ID, FIRSTNAME) VALUES(A_SEQ.NEXTVAL, FNAME)
INTO B(ID, LASTNAME) VALUES(A_SEQ.NEXTVAL, LNAME)
SELECT 'fname ' || LEVEL FNAME, 'lname ' || LEVEL LNAME
FROM DUAL
CONNECT BY LEVEL < 10
COMMIT;
SELECT * FROM A;
SELECT * FROM b;
DROP TABLE A succeeded.
DROP TABLE B succeeded.
drop sequence a_seq succeeded.
CREATE TABLE succeeded.
CREATE TABLE succeeded.
CREATE SEQUENCE succeeded.

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.

Link and insert into 2 tables

Hi Everyone,
I am building an application that that contains information about helpdesk calls. I am using 2 tables:
Table 1 contains tracking info- TRK_CALLS
ID -primary key
USER_
ASSIGNED_TO
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
STATUS
EDIT
Table 2 contain date and time info - TRKCALLS_TIME
ID - primary key
CALL_ID - same number as ID in table 1
DATE_
TIME
I have taken the advice that Denes Kubicek gave another poster and created a workspace at apex.oracle.com and places my app in there for others to look at
workspace: kjwebb
username: [email protected]
password: gtmuc
application: calltracking2
I have a report called create/edit call tracking in there that I can either Edit or create an entry into TRK_CALLS. clicking create takes me to a form, after info is entered I have a create button that assigns the PK and inserts info into TRK_CALLS. I then have to click Edit Call Time button to input info on a form that inserts into TRKCALLS_TIME table. I would like to link these tables somehow so that when I go to the (Edit Call Time) form the Call ID is populated with the PK ID from the TRK_CALLS table.
It would be easier to insert this info all in one page but I worked on that for a long time before giving up because I could not get anything to insert into the tables so I have taken this route.
The basic desired outcome is to tie the tables with a PK, ID in table 1 and CALL_ID in table 2. So that they correspond and displayed on the report page.
Please help in any way you can and make changes to my app.
I would not be asking for help unless I have reached the ends of my apex knowledge.
Thanks and please let me know if there are any questions,
Kirk

I can imagine it is pretty obscure when your knowledge of PL/SQL is not (yet) so big.
The statement I wrote ar meant exactly for your situation.
OK, here we go:
First you have created a view in the Object Browser. Suppose it is called trkcalls_view .
Then you go to SQL Workshop > SQL Commands.
You cut the next statement and paste it in the upper white part of the screen, just under the autocommit checkbox. Replace the bold sequence references by the real name of the sequences that are used to populate the ID's of the two tables.
You say Run and the trigger is created.
A trigger on the view is created. Creation of such a trigger is not possible in the Object Browser, so I understand your confusion. This triggers performs when an insert in the view is performed. As you might see in the code, it creates seperate insert statements for both tables.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER bi_trkcalls_view
INSTEAD OF UPDATE ON trkcalls_view
REFERENCING NEW AS NEW OLD AS OLD
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
v_id number;
bv_id2 number;
BEGIN
select sequence1.nextval into v_id from dual;
select sequence2.nextval into v_id2 from dual;
INSERT INTO TRK_CALLS
( ID
, USER_ASSIGNED_TO
, PROBLEM
, SOLUTION
, STATUS
, EDIT
VALUES
( v_id
, :new.user_assigned_to
, :new.problem
, :new.solution
, :new.status
, :new.edit
insert into TRKCALLS_TIME
( id
, call_id
, date_time
values
( v_id2
, v_id
, :new.date_time
end;
END ;good luck,

Record is not inserting into the Table thourgh forms 10g

Hi All,
I have the form built in 10g(10.1.2.0.2).
Basically the form has 2 blocks.
Block 1 with only one item, where we enter some value and hit enter(this will navigate to block2 and execute the query).
Block 2(tabular) will fetch the records. Now this block2 have 3 columns(caseid, userid, date).
Now when I insert a new record, I just need to enter the caseid only. And userid and date have to be automatically populated.
I can populate the USERID and DATE fields.
And when I enter some value in caseid item of block 2, and then do Control+S(to insert the record and Save the transaction),
i get the message saying FRM-40400: Transaction complete: 1 records applied and saved.
But when I query again for the same, I dont se the record inserted into the table.
Why is this happening?
Help please...

@ Inol
There is no promary or foriegn key relation ship. The form is fetching records from just one table. As I said block1 has col1. and Block2 has col2,3,4.
@Andreas
Yes I did select * from table, select count(*) from table in SQL*Plus. Nothing is inserted.
And one thing I have to tall here is, I have a ON-INSERT trigger in block2.
The code in ON-INSERT trigger is
-- :BLOCK2.DATE := TO_DATE(:DATE,'DD-MON-YYYY') ;
/* commented since I was populating date by assigning $$DATETIME$$ to the Initial value property of the data item. */
:BLOCK2.SOURCE_CASE := :BLOCK1.SOURCE_CASEID;Forgot to tell you,
Since I was inserting the record from block2(3 columns), to the table which has 4 columns, there is another item in block 2 which has the visible property No.
So the block 2 has 4 columns. And the hidden column will hold the value that is in the item of block1. This is what i'm pushing in the ON-INSERT trigger.

Insert into multiple table view

I have a view with multiple table query and and INSTEAD OF trigger on the view that inserts into multiple tables. When I attempt to do a commit out of a ADF Creation Form, I get the following error: ORA-01779: cannot modify a column which maps to a non key-preserved table ORA-06512: at line 1.
Has anyone had success inserting into multiple tables via a view that has more than one table?
Thanks,
Lisa

Lisa,
Sounds like your instead-of trigger may not be being called and you are trying to insert directly into the view.
I did write a [url http://stegemanoracle.wordpress.com/2006/03/15/using-updatable-views-with-adf/]blog entry about using a view with instead-of triggers last year.

Inserting into a table which is created "on the fly" from a trigger

Hello all,
I am trying to insert into a table from a trigger in Oracle form. The table name however, is inputted by the user in am item form.
here is what the insert looks like:
insert into :table_name
values (:value1, :value2);
the problem is that forms does not recognize ::table_name. If I replace :table_name with an actual database table, it works fine. However, I need to insert to a table_name based from oracle form item.
By the way, the table|_name is built on the fly using a procedure before I try to insert into it.
Any suggestion on how can I do that? My code in the trigger is:
declare
dm_drop_tbl(:table_name,'table) // a call to an external procedure to drop the table
dm_create_tbl(:table_name,'att1','att2');
insert into :table_name
values (:value1, :value2);
this give me an error:
encounter "" when the symbol expecting one.....

Hi ,
You should use the FORMS_DDL built_in procedure. Read the on-line documentation of forms ...
