Insert record validation

Hi,
I am using forms 4.5 and oracle 10g as the DB.
when a new record is being inserted into the EMP table, I would like to ensure that the empno is exactly of 4 digits, not less than or greater than 4.
what is the way of achieving this?
which trigger is suitable for this validation? when_create_new_record? or any other?
Thanks

Hi Omer,
You can use different ways to control this. like
1. Pre-Insert in block level.
use if condition like this "IF LENGTH(:EMPNO) <> 4 THEN MESSAGE('Your Message');"
2. In Database "BEFORE INSERT ROW LEVEL"
use if condition there also like "IF LENGTH(:NEW.EMPNO)<>4 THEN MESSAGE('Your Message')"

PHP Form Validation and Insert Records

Hi There,
I've been scratching my head for 2 days and couldn't find a solution.
Here is my problem:
Go to http://ecopethandbags.com/contactTest.php and click the "Send Comments" button.
You will see that the validation works.
Now, go to http://ecopethandbags.com/contactTestInsert.php, this time, I've inserted the "Insert Record" server behavior.
Click the "Send Comments" button again.
You will see the ugly message like "Column 'firstname' cannot be null" in a plain white page.
My question is:
How can I insert the PHP form records in my database and take advantage of the form validation nicely like in http://ecopethandbags.com/contactTest.php
I am attaching the files.
Thank you for you help!

Use simple PHP logic to merge the scripts together.
Dreamweaver automatically puts the Insert Record server behavior code at the top of the script. You need to adapt it so that the validation is done first. If the validation succeeds, use the Insert Record server behavior. If not, redisplay the form.
if (array_key_exists('send', $_POST)) {
// validate the form input
if (!$suspect && empty($missing)) {
// send the mail
    if ($mailSent) {
    unset($missing);
    // insert the Insert Record server behavior code here

Validations when inserting records into database using table control?

hi , guru's.
      iam inserting records into database table through table control when i press insert i want check which record is existing and which is not . so please give me any sample code
regards,
satheesh.

hi , arjun.
please check this code.
    WHEN 'INSERT'.
    data: g_vcontrol_itab1 like table of zcust_call_rec,
          g_vcontrol_wa1 like g_vcontrol_wa.
     SELECT * FROM zcust_call_rec
               INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE g_vcontrol_itab1
               FOR ALL ENTRIES IN g_vcontrol_itab
               WHERE kunnr = g_vcontrol_itab-kunnr AND budat = g_vcontrol_itab-budat.
        loop at g_vcontrol_itab into g_vcontrol_wa.
           read table g_vcontrol_itab1 into g_vcontrol_wa1
                with table key g_vcontrol_wa-kunnr = kunnr and g_vcontrol_wa-budat = budat.
                 if sy-subrc = 0.
                   delete g_vcontrol_itab.
                 endif.
        endloop.
      LOOP AT g_vcontrol_itab INTO g_vcontrol_wa.
        INSERT into zcust_call_rec values g_vcontrol_wa.
      ENDLOOP.
with this iam getting error message like this.
          <b>g_vcontrol_wa-budat is not expected.</b>

Inserting records into Table with check table logic in place

I want to insert records into a table, and have the check table to not allow invalid entries. Is there a function out there that will allow this? I am currently using the insert statement and it is working except that it is not giving an error when the value does not exist in the check table for the particular fields.
INSERT INTO ZSD_XREF VALUES WA_XREF.
That is the basic statement I'm using ZSD_XREF has several fields one being the material number field tied to the check table which happens to be MAKT file. The insert statement is not validating the material numbers using the check table, or at least it is not giving an error. Any ideas?

Paul,
Unfortunately, open SQL statements such as INSERT, UPDATE do not go through the check table logic as they directly hit the database layer. Check table checks are performed only if you go through application layer that is when you enter the same data through a screen.
You have to do the checks yourself.
Happy checking!!!

Use session variable in Insert record

Help, please!
I need to add a record to a table; one of the fields in the

It can be manipulated if it's put into a hidden form field.

Primary key violation when inserting records with insert_identity and ident_current+x

My problem is this: I have data in a couple of temporary tables including
relations (one table referencing records from another table by using
temporary keys).
Next, I would like to insert the data from the temp tables to my productive tables which have the same structure but their own identity keys. Hence, I need to translate the 'temporary' keys to regular identity keys in my productive tables.
This is even more difficult because the system is highly concurrent, i.e. multiple sessions may try to insert
data that way simultaneously.
So far we were running the following solution, using a combination of
identity_insert and ident_current:
create table doc(id int identity primary key, number varchar(100))
create table pos (id int identity primary key, docid int references doc(id), qty int)
create table #doc(idx int, number varchar(100))
create table #pos (docidx int, qty int)
insert #doc select 1, 'D1'
insert #doc select 2, 'D2'
insert #pos select 1, 10
insert #pos select 1, 12
insert #pos select 2, 32
insert #pos select 2, 9
declare @docids table(ID int)
set identity_insert doc on
insert doc (id,number)
output inserted.ID into @docids
select ident_current('doc')+idx,number from #doc
set identity_insert doc off
-- Since scope_identity() is not reliable, we get the inserted identity values this way:
declare @docID int = (select min(ID) from @docids)
insert pos (docid,qty) select @docID+docidx-1, qty from #pos
Since the request to ident_current() is located directly in the insert statement, we always have an implicit transaction which should be thread safe to a certain extend.
We never had a problem with this solution for years until recently when we were running in occasional primary key violations. After some reasearch it turned out, that there were concurrent sessions trying to insert records in this way.
Does anybody have an explanation for the primary key violations or an alternative solution for the problem?
Thank you
David

>> My problem is this: I have data in a couple of temporary tables including relations (one table referencing records [sic] from another table by using temporary keys [sic]). <<
NO, your problem is that you have no idea how RDBMS and SQL work.
1. Rows are not anything like records; this is a basic concept.
2. Temp tables are how old magnetic tape file mimic scratch tapes. SQL programmers use CTEs, views, derived tables, etc.
3. Keys are a subset of attributes of an entity, fundamental characteristics of them! A key cannot be temporary by definition.
>> Next, I would like to insert the data from the temp tables to my production tables which have the same structure but their own IDENTITY keys. Hence, I need to translate the 'temporary' keys to regular IDENTITY keys in my productive tables. <<
NO, you just get worse. IDENTITY is a 1970's Sybase/UNIX dialect, based on the sequential file structure used on 16-bit mini computers back then. It counts the physical insertion attempts (not even successes!) and has nothing to with a logical data model. This
is a mag tape drive model of 1960's EDP, and not RDBMS.
>> This is even more difficult because the system is highly concurrent, i.e. multiple sessions may try to insert data that way simultaneously. <<
Gee, that is how magnetic tapes work, with queues. This is one of many reasons competent SQL programers do not use IDENTITY.
>> So far we were running the following solution, using a combination of IDENTITY_INSERT and IDENT_CURRENT: <<
This is a kludge, not a solution.
There is no such thing as a generic “id” in RDBMS; it has to be “<something in particular>_id” to be valid. You have no idea what the ISO-11179 rules are. Even worse, your generic “id” changes names from table to table! By magic, it starts as a “Doc”,
then becomes a “Pos” in the next table! Does it wind up as a “doc-id”? Can it become a automobile? A squid? Lady Gaga?
This is the first principle of any data model; it is based on the Law of Identity; remember that from Freshman Logic 101? A data element has one and only one name in a model.
And finally, you do not know the correct syntax for INSERT INTO, so you use the 1970's Sybase/UNIX dialect! The ANSI/ISO Standard uses a table consrtuctor:
INSERT INTO Doc VALUES (1, 'D1'), (2, 'D2');
>> We never had a problem with this solution for years until recently when we were running in occasional PRIMARY KEY violations. After some research it turned out, that there were concurrent sessions trying to insert records [sic] in this way. <<

You have been mimicking a mag tape file system and have not written correct SQL. It has caught up with you in a way you can see. Throw out this garbage and do it right.

PHP/MySQL Insert Record

I've got a multi page form that carries values across
multiple pages with the use of Hidden Fields and then on last page
inserts the record into a MySQL database (for this I used the built
in Insert Record function of dreamweaver). My problem is that it
works well when using Internet Explorer, values are carried forward
and everything is inserted successfully to the database.
But, when using Mozilla Firefox it looks as if it works, I
get the confirmation at the end, but the record is not being
inserted to the database. I've worked through this step by step and
the values are being carried across in the hidden fields but it
just will not insert anything to the database.
Has anyone got any ideas??
Thank you in advance.

It's probably not so much MySQL syntax that's the problem for
you, but a
lack of understanding how to work with Dreamweaver
recordsets, server
behaviors, and sessions. Building database-driven sites with
Dreamweaver
isn't difficult, but there are a lot of things involved.
The Log In User server behavior automatically creates a
session variable
called $_SESSION['MM_Username']. You can use this as a
parameter to pass
to the SQL query in the Advanced Recordset dialog box. In the
SQL area
you would type (I'm guessing the name of your table and the
username
column):
SELECT landlord_id FROM landlords
WHERE landlord_username = 'col1'
Then click the plus button above the Variables area, and
create a
Parameter with the following values:
Name: col1
Default value: 1
Runtime value: $_SESSION['MM_Username']
You can then extract the result of the recordset, and assign
it to a
session variable like this:
$_SESSION['landlord_id'] = $row_recordsetName['landlord_id'];

I guess I'm still not

value that needs to be
> entered in the sites table as the landlord_ID.
As long as the session is still valid (which it would be if
you use
Restrict Access to Page), you will always have access to that
landlord's
id through $_SESSION['landlord_id'].

How to find last inserted record in the table.

Version: Oracle 10g
I have a table called "Manufacture" and 3 columns as mfno,itemname,quantity.
How to find last inserted record in the table "Manufacture".
As i come to know that Rowid is not result perfect results. Please provide your inputs.

How to find last inserted record in the table "Manufacture".Not possible as your data model does not cater for it. That simple.
If there is a need to determine some order or associate some time to an entity, then that should be part of the data model - and a relationship, or one or more attributes are needed to represent that information. Thus your data model in this case is unable to meet your requirements.
If the requirements are valid, fix the data model. In other words - your question has nothing to do with Oracle and nothing to do with rowid, rowscn or other pseudo columns in Oracle. It is a pure data modeling issue. Nothing more.

Insert Record Behavior - Not passing variables

I have an ASP form which collects information and posts the data to the database on submission and redirects the user to a thank you page.
The user is provided a support request and I would like to provide the user with an auto-generated number created when the database gets created. However, the Action on the submit form is <%=MM_editAction%> since I'm using the insert record behavior and now I can't seem to pass the form variable over to be used in my results recordset.
Should I use a session variable instead or is there a way to make the insert record bahavior work and pass in the form variable?

So it appears that I'm not the only person with this problem. One of the solutions I found was to use a Server.Transfer Server.Transfer("thank_you.asp")
instead of a Redirect.
This works however, now my form validation is broken.

Can BO Enterprize SDK inserts records into user table

From Infostore can we create a jsp script using Java SDK to inserts records into user table??
Thanks
Amar

Hi Amar,
I want to retrieve data/records from Infostore and insert into a user table using JSP script. Is it possible to do this?
Infostore is a database used by BO Server. so any changes made in infostore through BO enterprise session is valid.
Say u want to retrive on of report present in folder <my folder>.
The you have to query for that. for eg.
boinfostore.query("select * from ci_infoobjects where si_kind ='report' and si_foldername='my folder'");
Create/add/insert any new information in infostore is done by functionalities provide by SDK.
like adding the user or scheduling a report will add new object to infostore.
If you directly access cms database and make any changes then , I am afraid you will end up with nightmare.
So it is always recommneded to access infostore/ cms database only from bo session.
For more information refer below link
[http://devlibrary.businessobjects.com/BusinessObjectsXIR2SP2/en/devsuite.htm]
then under Contents
BusinessObjects Enterprise SDK >> COM developer guide and API reference >> Query Language Reference
do revert if any queries
Thanks,
Praveen.

Insert record behavior and multiple dynamic lists

I have a complex form that contains an insert record
behavior. Some of the fields are dynamic lists. My database has a
table to hold the static fields from the form and a number of
tables to hold the results from each dynamic list. I have the first
form and another form for review purposes. On the review form I am
getting an "Invalid argument supplied for foreach()" for each table
I try to insert the dynamic list results into. My investigation
leads me to believe that the arrays from the first form are being
subsumed by the actual insert action and that when my review form
is called, the arrays ($_POST) are no longer there. How do I ensure
that the arrays being set in part 1 of the Insert record behavior
will still be around for the review form? Any time I try to insert
code into the actual insert code, Dreamweaver duplicates the
behavior and tells me it can't decide which one to use.

So it appears that I'm not the only person with this problem. One of the solutions I found was to use a Server.Transfer Server.Transfer("thank_you.asp")
instead of a Redirect.
This works however, now my form validation is broken.

Validate 2 E-mail address fields in insert record form

Hello,
I have used the Insert Record Form Wizard to create a form, including using the Validate Form Server Behavior to validate many fields.
I can't figure out how to compare & validate 2 E-mail address fields.
After the form was created I opened the existing Validate Form Server Behavior - Advanced tab and built the condition {sub_email2} != {sub_email} but this had no affect on submitting the form.
The other thing I tried was creating a new Compare Transaction Field behavior with the same condition {sub_email2} != {sub_email}, this also seemed to have no affect.
I am just a beginner, so I admit to not really knowing what I'm doing, for me ADDT has been a great aid.
The other thing I noticed, when I tried both the items above, besides not affecting being able to submit the form with different E-mail addresses. The red asterisks indicating a required field, would disappear.
Here is the form http://www.oescahealthregistry.org/forms/pedigree_submission.php this version of the form does NOT include either of my attempts to validate the E-mail fields.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Dennis

Hi,
A compare statement should work fine. As an example I made small form that inserts name and email (2 fields) using Insert record wizard.
Name field is required, email field is required and checks that its a valid email structure ([email protected]). I then finish the wizard.
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="<?php echo KT_escapeAttribute($row_rsemail['email']); ?>" size="32" />
<?php echo $tNGs->displayFieldHint("email");?> <?php echo $tNGs->displayFieldError("email", "email"); ?>
I then add the extra field to the form that the 2nd email will be entered into, this one I called email2, I then copied the display hint and fielderror code from the first email and placed it behind the 2nd email box and changed the text to reflect email2. Which probably doesnt matter but I put it there anyway.
<input name="email2" type="text" id="email2" size="32" />
<?php echo $tNGs->displayFieldHint("email2");?> <?php echo $tNGs->displayFieldError("email2", "email2"); ?>
Now that I have both email fields in the form, I go to the developer tools under server behavior and select compare transactions fields under form validation.
I hit the + to add a field I then choose email for field, then == for condition, then {POST.email2} for compare to. I enter in an error message and hit ok.
Thats it the form is ready.
The first email field will check against email validation and the 2nd email will check against the first email.
I hope that helps.
Take note that the database actually only has 2 fields to enter data. Then 2nd email field is only for validation.

I know there are two modes in oracle:

Error while inserting records in sqlLite database

Hi all
I am building a hybrid web app in SMP using phonegap and html.
I am trying to insert records in sql database but i get an error with an undefined error code
Please see below :
function openDatabaseFoo() {

var msg = 'Sucessfully created';
alert(msg);
logSuccessMessage(msg);
            function (err) {

            var msg = "Error creating table = " + err.code;
            alert(msg);
            logErrorMessage(msg);
the creation of tables is happening properly because i am getting a success message in the alerts.
I am getting the error when i am trying to insert records in the above table
function insertDataTable(){

            alert(msg);
            logErrorMessage(msg);
can some one please help.Also guide me where can i check the sqlLite database logs to see more about the error.
I would really appreciate the help.I have been onto this since past few days now

XSQL error when trying to insert record

hi,
I encounter a problem using INSERT statement in xsql:query action. If I try to use INSERT statement in my xsql page like this:
<xsql:ze_action bean="TaskentryIn">
<xsql:query>
INSERT
Grundtab( Datum,Startzeit,Endzeit)
VALUES
('{@date}',{'@begin}','{@ende}')
</xsql:query>
</xsql:ze_action>
I always get this xsql-error:
Statement.executeQuery - No result sets were produced by 'INSERT...'
So far so good, I think this shouldn't be an error rather a warning.
But this is not my primary problem.
Anyway the record is inserted in the DB. But since I call the above <xsql:query>, from within my own action handler, I call a sendRedirect() to my next page after the <xsql:query> tag was processed.
After sendRedirect(), when I am on my next page, I check the DB for the inserted records, and it shows up that the insert was made two times, so I have two identically records in my DB.
If I am not sendRedirect() to the next xsql page, then the insert is only made once. So I assume that there is a problem if an xsql-error occurs and afterwards a sendRedirect().
I am using the same way to make my SELECT statements and I dont have any trouble with them. Only when I use INSERT.
Any adive or help is appreciated.
Peter

<xsql:query> is only for queries.
Use <xsql:dml> for a DML statement.
