Insert multiple choices into mysql field

I have a form that inserts a record into mysql. it's working
fine except when i changed the pull-down menu to a list allowing
multiple selections, it only inserts the last item selected. I know
it should insert the valuse as comma separated. Here's the php:
GetSQLValueString($_POST['not_reen_list'], "text"),
and the HTML:
<select name="not_reen_list" size="10" multiple="multiple"
id="not_reen_list">
<option value="Nothing selected"
selected="selected">Please select one</option><option
value="Cost">Cost</option>
<option value="School could not meet our financial aid
needs"> School could not meet our financial aid needs
</option>
<option value="Prefer another school">Prefer another
school </option>
</select>
Any help is appreciated.

That's because you're not sending the form data as an array.
Change this:
<select name="not_reen_list"
to this:
<select name="not_reen_list[]"
At the top of the PHP script, convert the array to a
comma-separated
string by adding this:
if (isset($_POST['not_reen_list'])) {
$_POST['not_reen_list'] = implode(',',
$_POST['not_reen_list']);

How do I insert multiple values into different fields in a stored procedure

I am writing a Stored Procedure where I select data from various queries, insert the results into a variable and then I insert the variables into final target table. This works fine when the queries return only one row. However I have some queries that return multiple rows and I am trying to insert them into different fields in the target table. My query is like
SELECT DESCRIPTION, SUM(AMOUNT)
INTO v_description, v_amount
FROM SOURCE_TABLE
GROUP BY DESCRIPTION;
This returns values like
Value A , 100
Value B, 200
Value C, 300
The Target Table has fields for each of the above types e.g.
VALUE_A, VALUE_B, VALUE_C
I am inserting the data from a query like
INSERT INTO TARGET_TABLE (VALUE_A, VALUE_B, VALUE_C)
VALUES (...)
How do I split out the values returned by the first query to insert into the Insert Statement? Or do I need to split the data in the statement that inserts into the variables?
Thanks
GB

"Some of the amounts returned are negative so the MAX in the select statement returns 0 instead of the negative value. If I use MIN instead of MAX it returns the correct negative value. However I might not know when the amount is going to be positive or negative. Do you have any suggestions on how I can resolve this?"
Perhaps something like this could be done in combination with the pivot queries above, although it seems cumbersome.

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.

Inserting multiple rows into a table (using sequences)

Hi!
I want to insert multiple rows into a db table, but I don't know how.
I know how to insert 1 row using a sequence:
I put all the fields in the jsp form's page and in the submit page I put something like this:
<jbo:Row id="myRow" datasource="ds" action="Update" rowkeyparam="MyRowKey" >
<jbo:SetAttribute dataitem="*" />
</jbo:Row>
But how can I insert multiple rows like this:
Id          Name
1          ana
2          monteiro
3          maria
Thanks!

You could use SQL*Loader to load the data into a staging table with a varray column, then use a SQL insert statement to distribute it to the destination table, as demonstrated below.
SCOTT@orcl> host type test.dat

2,"1002,2002,3002,4002"

Inserting Multiple Rows into Database Table using JDBC Adapter - Efficiency

I need to insert multiple rows into a database table using the JDBC adapter (receiver).
I understand the traditional way of repeating the statement multiple times, each having its <access> element. However, I am just wondering whether this might be performance-inefficient, as it might insert records one by one.
Is there a way to ensure that the records are inserted into the table as a block, rather than record-by-record?

Hi Bhavesh/Kanwaljit,
If we have multiple ACCESS tags then what happens is that the connection to the database is made only once. But the data is inserted row by row.
Why i am saying this?
If we add the following in JDBC Adapter..logSQLStatement = true. Then incase of multiple inserts we can see that there are multiple
<i>Insert into tablename(EMP_NAME,EMP_ID) VALUES('J','1000')
Insert into tablename(EMP_NAME,EMP_ID) VALUES('J','2000')</i>
Doesnt this mean that rows are inserted one by one?
Correct me if i am wrong.
This does not mean that the transaction is not guaranted. Either all the rows will be inserted or rolled back.
Regards,
Sumit

Script to insert file name into keywords field of same file

Hello,
search a solution, a Script or another, which writes the file name into keywords field of same file (Metadata: Description/Keywords) in "photoshop", "bridge" or better in "Lightroom" .
I found this topic from Mike Hale http://www.ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=1330
It's possible this script to change this in such a way that it does this:
"script to insert file name into keywords field of same file"
Thanks and best greetings
Wolfgang

This works in CS2:-
#target bridge
   if( BridgeTalk.appName == "bridge" ) {
nameDescription = MenuElement.create("command", "AddName to Description", "at the beginning of Thumbnail");
nameDescription .onSelect = function () {
     nameToDescription();
function nameToDescription(){
var items = app.document.selections;
      for (var i = 0; i < items.length; ++i) {
         var item = items[i];
var m = item.synchronousMetadata;
filenameToDesc(m, item.name.slice(0,-4));

SQL Query -How2bring multiple results into one field using Formatted Search

Hi Everyone
i am trying to bring in the results of the field dbo.Lot_ITEM.LOT using a formatted search into a row level using the following query:
SELECT     dbo.LOT_ITEM.LOT
FROM       dbo.DLN1 INNER JOIN dbo.LOT_ITEM ON dbo.DLN1.ItemCode = dbo.LOT_ITEM.ITEM
WHERE     dbo.LOT_ITEM.ITEM=$[DLN1.ItemCode]
however the result of the dbo.Lot_ITEM.LOT field could be more then one value depending on how many lots are assigned for that item
(for example this query would be similar to assigning batch/serial numbers to an item being despatched - as you can choose multiple batches/serials depending on the quantities available and required and then move from the left to the right side of the selection window) if that makes sense!
is it possible to bring in the multiple results into one field? and how can i amend the above query to include this?
Thankyou in advance :o)

Hi Suda
Thanks for replying :o) but im not sure about the query?
just to simplify it (as the query im working with is to do with 3rd party addons) i have used the serial/batchs field instead and used standard demo database fields from SBO 2005 sp01:
SELECT     dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_IntrSerial
FROM       dbo.DLN1 INNER JOIN
                dbo.ixvSerialNoFact ON dbo.DLN1.DocEntry = dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_BaseEntry
WHERE     dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.ItemCode='g1000' and dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_BaseEntry = '193'
The above brings me the relevant results but when i change it to be used in a formatted search:
SELECT     dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_IntrSerial
FROM       dbo.DLN1 INNER JOIN
                dbo.ixvSerialNoFact ON dbo.DLN1.DocEntry = dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_BaseEntry
WHERE     dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.ItemCode=$[dln1.itemcode] and dbo.ixvSerialNoFact.SRI1_BaseEntry = $[dln1.DocEntry]
i cant seem to get it to work - now this may be because the serial number is not allocated until teh record is added to the system, however when this happens i am unable to go back in and manually trigger the query as the delivery note rows cannot be selected!
i think as what im originally wanting an answer for is same as this example, im wanting to know if this is even possible?
Thanks

Cannot insert Chinese character into nvarchar2 field

I have tested in two environments:
1. Database Character Set: ZHS16CGB231280
National Character Set: AL16UTF8
If the field type of datatable is varchar2 or nvarchar2, the provider can read and write Chinese correctly.
2. Database Character Set:WE8MSWIN1252
National Character Set: AL16UTF8
The provider can not read and write Chinese correctly even the field type of datatable is nvarchar2
I find that for the second one, both MS .NET Managed Provider for Oracle and Oracle Managed Data Provider cannot read and write NCHAR or NVARCHAR2 fields. The data inserted into these fields become question marks.
Even if I changed the NLS_LANG registry to SIMPLIFIED CHINESE_CHINA.ZHS16CGB231280, the result is the same.
For the second situation, only after I change the Database Character Set to ZHS16CGB231280 with ALTER DATABASE CHARACTER SET statement, can I insert Chinese correctly.
Does any know why I cannot insert Chinese characters into Unicode fields when the Database Character Set is WE8MSWIN1252? Thanks.
Regards,
Jason

Hi Jason,
First of all, I am not familiar with MS .NET Managed Provider for Oracle or Oracle Managed Data Provider.
How did you insert these Simplified Chinese characters into the NVARCHAR2 column ? Are they hardcoded as string literals as part of the SQL INSERT statement ? If so, this could be because, all SQL statements are converted into the database character set before they are parsed by the SQL engine; hence these Chinese characters would be lost if your db character set was WE8MSWIN1252 but not when it was ZHS16CGB231280.
Two workarounds, both involved the removal of hardcoding chinese characters.
1. Rewrite your string literal using the SQL function UNISTR().
2. Use bind variables instead of text literals in the SQL.
Thanks
Nat

BI for NW04S: Concatenating multiple chars into one field in BI query

Hi,
We have BI for NW04S. We have a requirement of concatenating multiple characteristics into one field in the BI report. This single field should have the usual drill down and other olap functionalities that a single characteristic usually enjoy in a BI report.
In BI for NW04 (Not the S) this probably can be done using the table interface in WAD. However in BI7 WAD functionality are through Java.
Also can this be done using Query designer alone.
Can anybody help?
Thanks

Hi,
Can you please elaborate on your Query designer option. You can always have a variable and in the user exit can write code, but what is not clear that
1> How will you acheive the contatenation done for every row of the report in the BEX user exit variable( since it's called during the beginning of the query execution and not for all rows of the report
2> How do you transfer the char variable into a char field in the report.
Please elaborate .
Thanks

How to insert a value into a field of binary type?

Any suggestions would be very appreicated.

Inserting Multiple queries into a workbook

Hi Friends,
I have to insert multiple queries into a workbook and each query should be in a different worksheet of the work book.
I have gone thru some of the SAP documentation, for example http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/3a/89883989676778e10000000a11402f/frameset.htm
In above link under the fatures section it says
If you want to insert a query into the active workbook:
Open a workbook and, from the BEx toolbar, choose Tools ® Insert Query.... The query is then inserted into the current worksheet starting at the active cell
But when i chech in the tools under desig tools, i have lot of options like insert grid,insert checbox, radio button extc, but i dont have "Insert query".
I am using BI7 Bex analyazer, The Only way i am able to insert a new query into a work sheet using BI7 is that first i have to design the work sheet but including design elemenst in my case i am using Grid. But this is not giving the correct display.
Did anyone insert multiple queries in the same workbook? if you can you please let me know how did u acheive this?.
Thanks in adv.
Regards
BN

Hi Rajesh,
Thanks for your response, but in BI7 Bex analyser you dont have the option of insert query from tools.
Rather what i did is (maynot be the correct way), i have executed the query and saved it as work book and in the tools there is an option "copy Sheet". If you select this the same layout is copied to the 2nd sheet, there just change the assignment of design items to a new Dataprovider. Attach the new query to the new Dataprovider.
It works for me, as of now
But i have questions regarding selection screen.
1. In this work book i am embbeding 6 queries and each query individually has variables. When i execute the workbook i get the selection screen, in the selection screen all the common variables are shown in one grouping and other in a different grouping. Is this correct way of selection screen display?.
2. I want to see the variable screen every time i open the work book, how can i acheive this?.
Regards
BN
