Insert one table and update another???

Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible to insert a record in one table and update another another record in a different table.
I have a form on my company's intranet that allows employees to add comments (ADDT Insert transaction) about new products we are going to bring to the market. At the same time, I would like to count the numbers of comments on a particular product and update that number for each product to see which product is getting the most reviews.
Right now the products are on the homepage with the title and inserted date. From there, the employees click on the product get the info and make comments about it. The problem for me is that I would like to see the comment counts for each product on the home page, which means I would have to update the product table with the count.
Sorry, I am using PHP as the technology.
When I used to do it in ASP, I would insert the comment using the POST from the form, but add another hidden field with the count in it and I would use the "Command" Server behavior to retrieve the number and update the other table field.
I noticed that dreamweaver removed the "Command" server behavior when using PHP.
All help is greatly appreciated
Charles.

Hi Charles,
you can generally execute queries on a different table using Custom Triggers, and in regards to your "update the product table with the count" scenario the ADDT help file has a helpful pointer in the chapter "Custom transactions and triggers : Save additional information on login" -- in here you´ll find a sample "incremental counter" query which should be easy to adapt.

Selecting from one table and Update another in the same Page

Could someone help me with this HTMLDB task. In my page design, I am selecting data from two tables (masters: DEPT, EMP) which I want to display on the left column of the page and at the same time a user would be able to update another table (ATTENDANCE:with many children) which would have a radiogroup on the right side for each value of the master such as employee name. The placement of data has to appear in corresponding rows on the page. For instance, employee names of the master table must appear on the same row with its corresponding child value. The page would be grouped by DEPT_NO. The user would click on the department name, a new page with the employee name would apprar. From that page, the user would then update attendance column for each employee in that department. In this operation, it is only the ATTENDANCE table that is being updated. I can send out more information about the structure of the tables if you need more information. I tried many HTMLDB options, forms, reports, etc. I have not been able to get quite right. Your help will be appreciated.

Raju,
Thanks for responding to my problem. I have actually tried using the example on how-to you sent me a link to but it did not help as I expected. You see, the page would be updated every meeting date for each employee. I can send you more information about the table structure if you like. However, let me see if this will help you a bit.
Tables are: 1) Dept [dept_no (pk),dept_name] 2) EMP [emp_no (pk),emp_name, dept_no(fk)] 3) Meetings [meet_key(pk),attended, meeting_date, emp_no(fk)]
What I want to do is create two pages, one would list the departments, when a user selects a department, the user would be linked to a meeting attandance page. The meeting attendance page would list department name once, Meeting date once, and then list employees in that department. At the right column of every employee would be a checkbox for meeting.attended for update. The meeting_date would be pre-populated so that what the user would do is just check Yes/NO. The second page is the one I'm having the most problem with.
If I can do a fetch from dept, emp, and meetings and then do an update on the Meetings table on the same page, I think that might solve the problem. That was how I solved it in MS Access three years ago.
Here is email address in case you want to contact me directly. [email protected]
Thanks again for your help.

How to display contents of one table and update another one

Hi all
My requirement is the following:
- Three tables, guard, site and guard_site where guard_site shows which guards are linked to a particular site and vice-versa
- I need to create one front-end where i allow all guards to be linked with a particular site
- so the panel must show all guards available (so get display data from guard table) and then i need to introduce a row selector, which allows user to select whichever guards he/she wants
- There will be a save button and upon pressing it, i will create an entry on the guards_site table for the selected guards against the siteId provided when user goes to this page.
- Also upon loading this page if there are already any linked guards these must show as ticked in the row selector.
so I first attempted using a Tabular form or a form on a table/view, but it then forces me to select a table to update, which is not what i want, the data i display is from guard table, which is not the table i want to update... so I then tried a blank page and I created a SQL Query report region... but it doesn't allow me to add a row selector (even if I have added a button on the region).
Any ideas?
Regards and thanks
Jose
Ps- im using version Application Express 4.0.2.00.09 that came with Oracle Database Express Edition 11g

Maybe I am not understanding what you are trying to do but it appears that the table guard_site is the table you should be updating. Doesn't the guard_site table contain foreign keys from both the guard and site tables?

     }I trigger this Method when a JComboBox Item is Selected.
For an example when i select an Item the select Query brings all the Record Equals to the Selected item. Now i want to insert the Selected items with some Modification to Another Table.
Now the Problem is My Program Inserts Only One Record (Though there are Many Records Equals to Selected Item)
Please give me a Better Solution
Thank you

jolif,
If you're "new to java" then might I suggest you leave swing until you're "not so new to java"... it involves so many "advanced concepts" (unlike VB) that it constitutes a biohazard... i.e. it's fundamentally inimical to humanoid lifeforms.
Now... Having duly vented my spleen, try rs.updateRow();

On submit perform an insert on one table and an update on aother table

I am trying to perform and insert on the table one table (the wizard created my form the insert is going against the table that I created using the wizard) and on the form is on field that is also in another table. Therefore, I am trying to perform an update on one attribute of one table and a insert into another table. How do I do this in apex?

If you have used wizard to create form, then you may see a process of type 'Automatic Row Processing (DML)' in your page which will perform INSERT/UPDATE/DELETE on your form table. Here you can see APEX performs INSERT only when REQUEST is in 'INSERT, CREATE, CREATE_AGAIN, CREATEAGAIN'
So create one more PL/SQL page process which will execute at 'on Submit after validations' and write update process as follows
begin
-- pseudo table/columns
update tbl_second
set col1 = :p1_item
where pk_col = :p1_pk_item;
end;Make this process conditional so that it will perform UPDATE only when request value is in 'INSERT, CREATE, CREATE_AGAIN, CREATEAGAIN' ( i.e. only when you are inserting into your form table)
Cheers,
Hari
p.s. I think you may also need to update the second table when some-one updates your form table.

How to get the data from one table and insert into another table

Hi,
We have requirement to build OA page with the data needs to be populated from one table and on save data into another table.
For the above requirement what the best way to implement in OAF.
I understand that if we attach VO object instance to region/page, we only can pull and put data in to only one table.
Thanks

You can achieve this in many different ways, one is
1. Create another VO based on the EO which is based on the dest table.
2. At save, copy the contents of the source VO into the dest VO (see copy routine in dev guide).
3. commiting the transaction will push the data into the dest table on which the dest VO is based.
I understand that if we attach VO object instance to region/page, we only can pull and put data in to only one table.
if by table you mean a DB table, then no, you can have a VO based on multiple EOs which will do DMLs accordingly.Thanks

How to update one table based on another table ??

Hello Friends:
I am trying to run the following query in oracle but it won't run.
UPDATE BOYS
SET
BOYS.AGE = GIRLS.AGE
FROM GIRLS
WHERE
BOYS.FIRSTNAME = GIRLS.FIRSTNAME AND
BOYS.LASTNAME = GIRLS.LASTNAME;
This query runs fine in sql server but in oracle its saying can't find "SET". PLease tell me what is the correct syntax in oracle to update one table based on another table.
thanks

See if this helps.
If you wrote an SQL statement:
update boys set age = 10;
Every row in the boys table will get updated with an age of 10. But if you wrote:
update boys set age = 10
where firstname = 'Joe';
Then only the rows where the firstname is Joe would be updated with an age of 10.
Now replace the 10 in the above statements with (select g.age from girls g where g.firstname = b.firstname and g.lastname = b.lastname) and replace where firstname = 'Joe' in the second statement with where exists (select null from girls g where g.firstname = b.firstname and g.lastname = b.lastname). The same concepts apply whether 10 is an actual value or a query and whether you have a where clause with the update statement to limit rows being updated.
About the select null question regarding the outer where clause:
Since the query is checking to see if the row in the girls table exists in the boys table what the column is in this select statement doesn't matter, this column isn't being used anywhere. In this case Todd chose to use null. He could have also used a column name from the table or a lot of times you'll see the literal value 1 used here.

Importing a Flat File to Oracle and updating another table

Hey everyone,
I am a newbie with Oracle, and I've tried for the last 2 days to solve this problem below. But all my searches and attempts have failed.
I have a text file called ReturnedFile.txt. This is a comma separated text file that contains records for two fields.... Envelope and Date Returned.
At the same time, I have a table in Oracle called Manifest. This table contains the following fields:
Envelope
DateSentOut
DateReturned
I need to write something that imports the ReturnedFile.txt into a temporary Oracle table named UploadTemp, and then compares the data in the Envelope field from UploadTemp with the Envelope field in Manifest. If it's a match, then the DateReturned field in Manifest needs updated with the DateReturned field in UploadTemp.
I've done this with SQL Server no problem, but I've been trying for two days to make this work with Oracle and I can't figure it out. I've been trying to use SQL*Loader, but I can't even get it to run properly on my machine.
I did create a Control file, saved as RetFile.ctl. Below is the contents of the CTL file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'C:\OracleTest\ReturnedFile.txt'
APPEND
INTO TABLE UploadTemp
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "'"
ENVELOPE,
DATERETURNED
If I could get SQL*Loader running, below is the code I came up with to import the text file and then to do the compare to the Manifest table and update as appropriate:
sqlldr UserJoe/Password123 CONTROL=C:\OracleTest\RetFile.ctl LOG=RetFile.log BAD=RetFile.bad
update Manifest m set m.DateReturned =
(select t.DateReturned
    from UploadTemp t
    where m.Envelope = t.Envelope
That's all I got. As I said, I can't find a way to test it and I have no idea if it's even close.
PLEASE...can anyone assist me? Am I even close on this thing?
Joe

If your ReturnedFile.txtfile is comma separated then you need TERMINATED BY "," not TERMINATED BY "'" in your control file. If there happens to not be an ending comma in any row, then you also need to add TRAILING NULLCOLS to your control file. You should also use a date format for your date in your control file that corresponds to the date format in your ReturnedFile.txt file, in case it does not match the date format on your system. You need to add a WHERE EXISTS clause to your update statement to prevent any rows that do not match from having the DateReturned updated to a null value. Please see the example below. If this does not help then please do a copy and paste as I did, that includes a few rows of sample data and table structure. It would also help to see your SQL*Loader log file or a SQL*Loader error message. If you can't get SQL*Loader to run properly, then you may have other issues, such as file permissions at the operating system level. There are also other options besides the methods below. For example, you could use an external table, instead of SQL*Loader, if your ReturnedFile.txtfile is on your serer, not your client. You could also use merge instead of update.

Data type with large size in a table and updating it

Hi guys,
i am working on a requirement in which i need to create 4 tables. Here, 2 tables will be updated by the user and a program will update this content to the other 2 table.
2 days before i posted a query on this, Previously i stucked on a part where, table need to entries with size char 400 and char 9000. As from the reply, i changed it to STRING with which table was sucessfully created and i was able to update data through a report program.
Now we ned to provide an sm30 option to users, so they can insert new contents and update the status of old contents. But when i tried this table maintanance generator, i got an error that table contains string, so maintanance generator cannot be done ! i changed the data type to rawstring also. Now maintanance generator got saved, but when i open the table in sm30, i am getting dump saying tht table is using string/char etc.
can anyone tell me what data type to use in this scenario with which we can enter data through sm30 ?

Hi Kithu,
you can use STRING (or XSTRING) fields. Then there is no limit on the field size. As long as it is not (fully) filled with data, no space is wasted.
The disadvantage is that STRING type data are treated as 'deep' structures. That leads to some trouble in the definition of interfaces. Give it a try!
