Insert/update multiple tables from one form.

I'm working on an app. that requires the user to fill out a form. The contents from the form is then used to either insert new records or update existing records in multiple tables. Is that possible? Can someone give a details example?

You should create a form like you would create it having one table. Use row_id as primary key. The rest of the process are done by the triggers - those will take care of updating the right table depending which column was hit.

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.

Add to Multiple Tables from One Page

Hello,
I am building an application that handles hardware inventory (APEX 4.0). I have an input page that adds data to two or more tables all at once. The page has two forms on it that point to two separate tables. However when I try to run the page, it fails and returns an error:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 437: PL/SQL: ORA-00904: "ORH_LAST_UPDATE_DATE": invalid identifier ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
     Error      Unable to process row of table IDD_ID_DATA.
So far as i can see within the App, that column is not at issue (I am not even doing anything to it and it is nullable). I have looked into the App itself as well as doing some online research but have found nothing helpful...
So my question is this: Is it possible to add to multiple tables from one page? If so how do I do it?
I am new to APEX so any help would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE:
I received an email from the APEX Support Team:
"The simple answer is that you will need to manually code the DML (and query) processes if you wish to maintain multiple tables from one page (There is a limit of one table when using the built-in processes).
In order to do this I suggest you delete the processes generated by the wizards and create PL/SQL processes with insert, update, delete statements as necessary. Such coding is not difficult but is more time consuming than when you can use built-in processes."
I have been playing around with PL/SQL code and the end result is this:
begin
     INSERT INTO table1
     VALUES(
          :P2_Item_Field1,
          :P2_Item_Field2);
     INSERT INTO table2
     VALUES(
          :P2_Item_Field1,
          :P2_Item_Field2);
end;
I used this code in a custom PL/SQL Process in the Processing>Processes section of Page Processing and it seems to work fine now. The only downside to this method is if the name of a Page Item is changed the code will also have to be changed. Other than that i have had no problems.

Adding data to multiple tables using one form in Access 2010?

Hi All,
I have a access database with two tables and I want to create a single form to enter data into that tables.
How to adding data to multiple tables using one form in Access 2010?
I don't have to much knowledge of access database?
Please help me
Thanks
Balaji

You really don't enter identical data into 2 tables. You enter dat into one single table, and then you have an unique identifier that maps to another table (you have a unique relationship between two tables).
Maybe you need to read this.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/access-help/database-design-basics-HA001224247.aspx
Think about it this way... What is you update data in 2 tables, and then the data in one of those tables changes, but the data in the other table does NOT change. WHOOPS!! Now, you've got a BIG problem. For instance, you have a customer
named Bill Gates. In one Table you update Bill's address to 1835 73rd Ave NE, Medina, WA 98039 and in the other table you accidentally update Bill's address to 183 73rd Ave NE, Medina, WA 98039. Now you have 2 addresses for Bill. Why would
you want that??? Which is right? No one knows. If you have one address, you just have to update one address and if there is a mistake, you just have to update one address, but you don't have to waste time trying to figure out which is right
and which is wong...and then update the one that is wrong.
Post back with specific questions.
Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

Updating multiple records from single form (ASP)

I have a nested repeat region.
I have created in the parent, a form with 3 fields and an update button.
the child records all have multiple columns, 3 of which correspond to the parent.
Athe parent is bound to the child records by the shipmentID
I need to be able to update all child records from the form in the parent.
The case is this.
The child records are orders with shipdates and frequencies
The parent contains a form with fields for shipdate and frequency
The administrator needs to change the shipdate and/or frequency for all child records.
(The child records are forms as well--but that's another issue that works fine)
Shipment ID
Date Field
Freq Field
UPDATE Button
ShipmentID
Record 1
Data case1
Date
ShipmentID
Record 2
Data case 2
Date
I am doing this in classic asp with an SQL database.
So how do I get the form to update all record
[Subject title edited by moderator to make clear ASP involved]

Hi,
This is one of those questions that would require far more explanation that is reasonable to expect in a forum. You should do a little poking around in the nearest Barnes & Nobles. About a half hour in a chare with a good ASP book and vanilla latte should have you on the right track.

Multiple records from one form

Hi everyone,
I am creating a sign-up form for users of a website - i need
them to select from a number of categories that they want to be
listed in. i am using a series of check boxes for them to select
the categories. What i want to do is create a separate record in my
MySQL DB for each check box that is ticked that contains the user
ID and the category ID. is there a way to do this from just one
form?

You can save them in a SET column. A SET column type allows
you to store
up to 64 predefined values in a single column.
Create the checkbox group as an array by adding square
brackets to the
end of the name value like this:
<input type="checkbox" name="category[]" value="catA"
/>
<input type="checkbox" name="category[]" value="catB"
/>
<input type="checkbox" name="category[]" value="catC"
/>
To insert the values in a SET column, use implode() to create
a
comma-separated string:
if (isset($_POST['category'])) {
$_POST['category'] = implode(',', $_POST['category']);
else {
$_POST['category'] = '';
More about the SET column type here:

Count number rows in multiple tables from one query

Hi
I was wondering if its possible to have a single query return the number of lines in multiple tables, for example i have the tables
foo1
pk_foo1
and
foo2
pk_foo2
They are not joined together by any contraints. So the pseudo code for the query would be something like
SELECT numrows(pk_foo1), numrows(pk_foo2) FROM foo1, foo2
Thanks!

without a join you get a cartesian product for the query:
SQL> select count(d.deptno),count(e.deptno)
2 from dept d,emp e
3 /
COUNT(D.DEPTNO) COUNT(E.DEPTNO)
            105             105so you need to do a bit of trickery
1 select a.cnt,b.cnt
2 from
3 ( select count(d.deptno) cnt from dept d ) a,
4* ( select count(e.deptno) cnt from emp e) b
SQL> /
       CNT        CNT
         7         15
SQL> select count(*) from dept;
COUNT(*)
         7
SQL> select count(*) from emp;
COUNT(*)
        15

Updating multiple tables from updatable report

Hi, I'm new to APEX and SQL and need some help
I've got 2 tables, one for person (containing employee_id which is the primary key and position_id, which shows the position that the employee fills, and some others) and one for position (containing position_id as primary key and current_inc, which shows which employee is currently in that position, and various others). All variables are varchar2.
Now I've made an updatable report for the person table that can add and update the table without problems using a multi row update, but I also want if to update the value of current_inc in the position table if I were to assign a position to a certain employee in the person table.
I've though of using either a trigger or a procedure to do it but havn't been able to find satisfying examples online.
Any suggestions on how to do it (please include sql code)
Thanks
V

Instead of trigger on view... Create a view with the tables you want updated, then build and instead of trigger on the view to handle the updates between tables See this blog entry for an example: http://dgielis.blogspot.com/2006/09/updateable-view.html
Thank you,

Update multiple UDF from one query generator

Hi All,
I have Form1 with multiple UDF1 which have been key in by users
And another Form2 with multiple UDF2 which exactly same with Form1 UDF1
Is there a way that I can copy multiple UDF at Form2UDF2 from Form1UDF1 instead of creating query for each individual UDF, where in query generator I can select more the one column but only first column will be insert to the single UDF.
Thanks

Hi Firos,
I mean I have 7UDF in the Payment Form where the information to this UDF are come from 7UDF in the invoice form which already created previously so I would like to copy those UDF from invoice to UDF in payment by using single query to capture all the UDF information by doing:
SELECT T0.[DocNum], T0.[UDF1], T0.[UDF2], T0.[UDF3], T0.[UDF4], T0.[UDF5], T0.[UDF6], T0.[UDF7]
FROM OINV T0 WHERE T0.[CardCode] = $[ORCT.CardCode]
From above query can I pass the result directly to UDF in Payment Form? or I need to create one query for each individual UDF.
Thanks

Update multi tables in one page

I need to create a page that allow users to update ( no insert, no delete) 2 tables 1 view.
home page users enter a record_no, then I pass the rec_no to p2 which has 3 regions. Each region points to one table\view respectively. All tables\view are linked by a same rec_no. Each region has a form on table with buttons: cancel,save.
This works fine with only one region but When I start putting 2nd region,
following issues arise
1. data only display on most recently added region( form), it won't display on both regions
2. when I click apply changes (save) on region 1, it erros on both regions that have not null columns. I think this is because it can't tell the difference on the button that I press.
Is it possible to achieve this goal: update multiple tables in one page ? What is the best way to do it ?
I don't want to use form with a report because it has extra page to go through.Ultimate goal is to make all regions Hide and show, so data won't clog whole screen if user has no need to see all at once. Is creating a view of these 3 tables\view the way to go ?
Can you help ? My brain is fried now.
Thanks.
Tai

Hello Tai,
I understand your frustration. Sometimes, something that should seem easy turns out to be so difficult. In this case, what you can do is this:
1. Get rid of the buttons in the second and third region. You can drive your updates all from only one set of buttons.
2. Set a condition on your update button that it only do the update if all three regions data have been filled in - that is - the fields you need are NOT NULL.
Sometimes, I have actually created a separate region called "Buttons" and that is all that resides there. When I have multiple regions on a screen that need input, I won't do any of the updates until all areas have been populated.
As for hiding/displaying the various regions based on your user's need to see them, you can also set conditional display on the region so the user won't see them if they don't need to.. And/or use the hide/show region template.
I hope this helps,
Don.
