Insert statement with loop function

Hello all,
I'm new with the loop function
What need to do is to use a select statement with a condition
This output needs to be inserted in a table
The values of the condition are stored also in a table
It will be something like this:
BEGIN
FOR i IN (select nrs from table1) LOOP
    INSERT INTO table_out_loop
    SELECT * FROM bigtable_vw
    WHERE nr = i
END LOOP ;
END ;
I cant use a direct insert_into function in this case so I need the plsql to 'look' for the values 1 by 1 from the table1
Any help would be appreciated

Can't you just:
    insert into table_out_loop
    select *
    from   bigtable_vw
    where nr in (select nrs from table1);
If not, then post a better example and/or rephrase the question...

Error while replacing IF statements with DECODE function in procedure

Hi All,
I have created a procedure which has nested IF statements. Now I want to replace the IF statements with DECODE functions to improve performance.
Procedure:
IF (var_int_sev = '0')
THEN
var_sev := '2';
ELSE
SELECT sev
INTO var_int_sev
FROM errorconfig
WHERE errorcode = var_errorcode;
var_sev := var_int_sev;
END IF;
I converted the above IF statement into DECODE function as mentioned below:
var_Sev := DECODE(var_int_sev,0,2,SELECT severity FROM errorconfig WHERE errorcode=var_ErrorCode)
But it throws below error at the select statement used inside DECODE.
Error(58,51): PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "SELECT" when expecting one of the following: ( - + case mod new not null others <an identifier> <a double-quoted delimited-identifier> <a bind variable> avg count current exists max min prior sql stddev sum variance execute forall merge time timestamp interval date <a string literal with character set specification> <a number> <a single-quoted SQL string> pipe <an alternatively-quoted string literal with character set specification> <an alternativ
Can someone help me in converting the IF to DECODE in the above case. Also how can we use a select statement inside decode.

instead of trying to rewrite all your code and hoping that the performance will be better, it's a better option to investigate and find out which part of your application is slow

INSERT statement with JSP

          Does anyone know how to create an INSERT statement with JSP using
          variables??
          I can do the insert if I code the values of the variables in the statement,
          but when I try to use variables to do the insert it tries to insert the
          variable name and not the value of the variable into the table.
          Thanks,
          Doug

Query in Insert statement with JDBC Rx adapter

Hi,
This is a FILE to JDBC scenario.
My target datatype is like this with sample payload values
statement_s
statement_s
   action='INSERT"
access
    A=1234
    B=1002
key
   A=1234
   B ="10%"
     compareOperation= LIKE
A(1..1) is primary key in DB and B(0..1) colunm is an optional one.
I want to know if such kind of Insert query with(LIKE operator) is possible.
Please reply me ASAP.
Edited by: ram pranav on Feb 18, 2009 10:28 PM

Hi Ram,
IN case of "UPDATE_INSERT", you can use the KEY tag in your structure. Also you can provide LIKE as an attribute to the KEY element as follows :
<key1>
     <col4 compareOperation=u201DLIKEu201D>val%</col4>
</key1>
But when you are trying to insert the data_, the <key> tags will be ignored and only <access> will be considered._
action=UPDATE_INSERT
The statement has the same format as for the UPDATE action. Initially, the same action is executed as for UPDATE. If no update to the database table can be made for this action (the condition does not apply to any table entry), values of the table described in the <access> element are inserted in accordance with the description of the action INSERT. <key> elements are ignored in this case.
The response document has the following format; one of the two values is always 0 because either an UPDATE or an INSERT action is always executed:

Insert statement with Date, time into Oracle

Hi,
I've got the following statement that I'm trying to insert into Oracle. Actually had to change up the format to dd-mm-yy to get it to insert the date correctly, not sure why, but I've got it "supposedly" formatted to also insert the hours, min., seconds into the db record, but it's not catching it.
My code:
INSERT INTO VOTETBL
(CHANGE_CTRL_ID,BUSVP,BRANCH,VOTE,VOTE_TIMESTAMP)
VALUES (?, ?,?,?,to_date(sysdate, 'dd-mm-yy hh24:mi:ss'));Shouldn't the sysdate capture all those elements sufficiently? The day, month, year get inserted correctly with this, but not so for the time portion.
Any suggestions is welcomed.
Thx.

ok, thanks.
I tried making a result set with the following:
Statement stmt = connection.createStatement(ResultSet.TYPE_SCROLL_SENSITIVE, ResultSet.CONCUR_READ_ONLY);
ResultSet rst = stmt.executeQuery("select to_char(sysdate) from dual");
Date dualtimestamp = (rst.getDate("sysdate"));But it makes the servlet blow up! Not sure why either, because if I enter that exact statement in Oracle, it pulls back the date and time just like I aim to. But not embedded in the result set statement within the servlet.
It breaks up somehow and doesn't get that result!

Insert statement with timezone asking for parameter

I have an insert statement in a file.
When the whole file is executed it inserts around 300 rows in to table.
One of the insert statement is failing. This insert statement inserts a query into column of a table.
It is as following
Insert into hr.TABLE_PATH
(PATH, TABLE_OWNER_NAME, TABLE_NAME, PATH_NAME, TABLE_ACCESS_PATH_DESC, TABLE_PATH_SQL_TXT, PROCESS_CODE, DELETE_IND, ACCESS_ID)
Values
(290, HR, EMPLOYEES, 'Reconc', 'XYZ', 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM (SELECT hr.product, TO_TIMESTAMP (TO_CHAR (FROM_TZ (sm.product_tmstp, 'GMT') AT TIME ZONE 'US/Central', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF6'), 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF6') AS product_tmstp FROM ( SELECT DISTINCT(product) FROM hr.updated_table) upr, RH.product AS OF SCN :1 spr, RH.milestone AS OF SCN :1 sm WHERE spr.product = upr.product AND sm.product = spr.product MINUS SELECT prf.product, mi.product_tmstp FROM ( SELECT MAX(execute_id) exeute_id FROM hr.slave_execute ) cmr, hr.prod prf, hr.hr_info mi WHERE prf.execute_id = cmr.execute_id AND mi.milestone_group_id = prf.milestone_group_id )', 'N ', 'N', 2);
The problem is with this piece of insert:
TO_TIMESTAMP (TO_CHAR (FROM_TZ (sm.product_tmstp, 'GMT') AT TIME ZONE 'US/Central', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF6'), 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF6') AS product_tmstp
: --> is being considered as parameter.
Where as the whole sql thing needs to get inserted into the table.

If you are inserting a string, then any quotes inside the string should be replaced with two single quotes,
try this,
INSERT INTO hr.TABLE_PATH (PATH,
                           TABLE_OWNER_NAME,
                           TABLE_NAME,

If you are inseting using a script from Sqlplus
use
SET DEFINE OFFjust to make sure nothing is treated as a parameter.

Help with Loop Function

I am trying to automate converting Pages documents to Word. Maybe later to reopen them in Pages but with the options set to create flat files.
I select the files I want and they open ok. The export goes ok and I click the file close button,
Maybe this close does not work as I get twice as many files open after each loop.
How do I stop the loop function bringing all the files in again each time.?
Get Selected Items
Open Finder Items
Watch Me Do:
Click "Pages" in the Dock
Click the "File" menu
Export
Click the "Next..." button
Click the "<fill the title>" button

Thanks again,
The "Dispense Items Incrementally" seems to work well enough. However, now the workflow stops at the end of the second loop. The file is closed but the "Watch Me" function seems to want something else to happen (it continues active). The only first file is still listed in the loop function.

Re-write provide statement with loop

Hello,
I am a bit confused how to rewrite a provide statement but with loop instead.
For example, how would the following code be written with 'loop at':
PROVIDE * FROM P0001
FROM P0016 BETWEEN '20020401' AND '20061001'
ENDPROVIDE
Thanks for your help.

Data Retrieval from LDB
1. Create data structures for infotypes.

2. Fill data structures with the infotype records.
Start-of-selection.
GET PERNR.
End-0f-selection.
Read Master Data
Infotype structures (after GET PERNR) are internal tables loaded with data.
The infotype records (selected within the period) are processed sequentially by the PROVIDE - ENDPROVIDE loop.
GET PERNR.
PROVIDE * FROM Pnnnn BETWEEN PN/BEGDA AND PN/ENDDA

Period-Related Data
All infotype records are time stamped.
IT0006 (Address infotype)

Which record to be read depends on the date selection period specified on the
selection screen. PN/BEGDA PN/ENDDA.
Current Data
IT0006 Address - 01/01/1990 12/31/9999 present
RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST retrieves the record which is valid in the data selection period.
For example, pn/begda = '19990931' pn/endda = '99991231'
IT0006 subtype 1 is resident address

Creating Multiple INSERT statements with SQL

is there a way to create multiple INSERT staements with SQL .
Example scenario : This is only example but i have lot of data in the real time.
sql : Select Emplid from Table A where Emplid between 100 and 350 will retun me 50 rows . i want to insert those rows into another table.
I am looking for output like below instead of Giving output just as EMPLIDs
Insert into PS_LM_DATA ( EMPLID ) values ( 123 )
Insert into PS_LM_DATA ( EMPLID ) values ( 234 )
Insert into PS_LM_DATA ( EMPLID ) values ( 334 )
and so on....
thanks ,
Karu

If you are inserting into another table, you could use
insert into PS_LM_DATA ( EMPLID )
select Emplid from Table A where Emplid between 100 and 350Example:
SQL> insert into emp2(empno) select empno from emp;
14 rows created.
SQL> insert into emp2(empno) select empno from emp where empno between 7369 and 7788;
8 rows created.

Insert process with Loop

Hello All,
I have a procedure which will run when the information that has been entered is correct. Also, I have an insert process when the information is not correct, it will automatically insert the information to the log table after three times attempt. The processes are working fine, but my problem is, when the attempt is more than three times, the process will insert the information each time after the 3rd attempt.
For example: I attempt 6 times with wrong information , and the insert process ignores the first three and then it will insert 3, 4, 5 and 6. in four rows. I actually want this process only insert the last one (6) in one row not 3,4,5,and 6 in four rows.
Here is my process:
BEGIN
if (:P2_LOG_COUNT>=3) then
INSERT
INTO QUEST_LOG
(USER_NAME, LOG_COUNT, DATE_CREATED, IP_ADDRESS)
VALUES (:P2_USER_NAME, :P2_LOG_COUNT, SYSDATE,(select OWA_UTIL.get_cgi_env ('REMOTE_ADDR') from dual));
end if;
END;
I appreciate your assistance.
Thanks,
Atousa

You're doing it wrong, fix QUEST_LOG table to include a primary key.
Either you can:
* Just keep incrementing :P2_LOG_COUNT as you are already
* Upon successful state, then if :P2_LOG_COUNT > 3 log it
I suspect that isn't what you'll want however because the it will never log to QUEST_LOG if they never eventually succeed.
The only other option is to have a primary or otherwise unique key you can use to identify the row in order to continue updating the count. If you can't identify the row added at attempt 4, and you aren't sure the user wont just walk away from the application at this point, how can you possibly ensure that one and only one row is added from this point onwards?

Update statement with Aggregate function

Hi All,
I would like to update the records with sum of SAL+COMM+DEPTNO into SALCOMDEPT column for each row. Can we use SUM function in Update statement. Please help me out this
See below:
Table
CREATE TABLE EMP
EMPNO NUMBER(4) NOT NULL,
ENAME VARCHAR2(10 CHAR),
JOB VARCHAR2(9 CHAR),
MGR NUMBER(4),
HIREDATE DATE,
SAL NUMBER(7,2),
COMM NUMBER(7,2),
DEPTNO NUMBER(2),
SALCOMDEPT NUMBER
Used update statement :
UPDATE emp e1
SET e1.salcomdept= (select sum(sumsal+comm+deptno) from emp e2 where e2.empno=e1.empno)
WHERE e1.deptno = 10
commit
Thanks,
User

Adding these columns makes no sense, so I'll assume this is just an exercise.
However, storing calculated columns like this is generally not a good idea. If one of the other columns is updated, your calculated column will be out of sync.
One way around this is to create a simple view
SQL> CREATE view EMP_v as
2 select EMPNO
3        ,ENAME
4        ,JOB
5        ,MGR
6        ,HIREDATE
7        ,SAL
8        ,COMM
9        ,DEPTNO
10        ,(nvl(sal,0) + nvl(comm,0) + nvl(deptno,0)) SALCOMDEPT
11 from   emp;
View created.
SQL> select sal, comm, deptno, salcomdept from emp_v;
                 SAL                 COMM               DEPTNO           SALCOMDEPT

Error Running SQL Insert Statement with & in it

Eclipse: 3.5 Galileo on Window Vista
OEPE: 11gR1 11.1.14
I get "invalid character" error when running this query in Eclipse:
INSERT INTO RECIPE (recipeId, name1, name2, recipeCategoryId) VALUES (2, 'Chunky Chicken Egg Rolls', 'No take–out joint can compare!', 1);
I've tried multiple ways trying to escape the & character, but nothing worked. What is the right way of executing SLQ via OEPE plugin that have special characters in them.
FYI, the following worked fine in Oracle 10g iSQL*Plus:
SET DEFINE ~;
INSERT INTO RECIPE (recipeId, name1, name2, recipeCategoryId) VALUES (2, 'Chunky Chicken Egg Rolls', 'No take–out joint can compare!', 1);
Thanks,
Dmitri.

Very interesting case. I tried your insert stmt and got the same error. I finally got it to work by removing the ";" in the end. It looks like the jdbc driver choked up while there is ";" in the middle of the pl/sql statement and ";" in the end. If you remove ";" in the "No take–out joint can compare!" string and leave the ";" in the end, it also works!
I don't quite understand why Oracle JDBC dirver behaves like that. I'll investigate it more and we may need to do some preprocessing on the pl/sql statement before sending it to the driver. At the mean time, just remove the ";" in the end if your string literal contains ";".
Please let me know whether this workaround works for you. Thanks!

QUESTION ON INSERT STATEMENT WITH SELECT

Hi
I have a table which contains three fields
Table name : USERS
ID NUMBER(10),
NAME VARCHAR2(50),
EMAIL VARCHAR2(50)
SEQUENCE by name SEQ_ID
I am trying to insert values into USERS from EMPLOYEE by virtue
of insert into USERS (SELECT NAME, MAIL from EMPLOYEE) but i
want to have one id for all the rows fetched from my inner
query.
I would like to know if here is a way, by which i can fetch a
constant in my select statement which is not present in the
table and use it like
insert into USERS ( SELECT constant, NAME, MAIL FROM EMPLOYEE );
where constant is some number unique for a given insertion.
Thanks
Arun

Why not just try it? All you had to do was type
insert into USERS SELECT 1, NAME, MAIL FROM EMPLOYEE ;
and you would have had your answer immediately instead of
waiting for me to tell you.
