Inserting multiple rows on one "Add Button"!

I have an appliation that tracks family members (address book type app).
form page that tracks "family relationships"
(http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=55283:2)
Page 2/3 are Master Details, where the detail reports are "relationships"
From page three, if I select "Create" it takes me to the Form page
(http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=55283:4) where I can create a relationship and hit "create" and the new record is now visible on page 3.
What I'm trying to do, is create the inverse tie record at the same time. For example.
If I say
record 1 is related to record 2 as "value 3"
I then want to at the same time, create an inverse record:
record 2 is related to record 1 as "value 4".
After researching the forum, I put my best effort into creating a button on page 4 called "Add New" (Thanks Andy for the idea!!) and a page process to run when this button is selected.
There is a PK for the table in questions, that uses a sequence. I'm just learning SQL AND APEX, so I may have totally missed the boat...either way, this errors out on my instance i have on a closed network.
(Unfortunately, my local firewall is not allowing me to post my SQL for the
Here's my page process that fails:
-- Take values from the three page items to create the first row:
INSERT INTO FAMILY_ASSOC
(FAMILY_ASSOC_ID, FAMILY_ID_1, FAMILY_ASSOC, FAMILY_ID_2) VALUES (
FAMILY_ASSOC_SEQ.nextval,
P4_FAMILY_ID_1,
P4_FAMILY_ASSOC,
P4_FAMILY_ID_2)
-- Now reverse the ID_1 and ID_2 to create the Inverse record
-- For example if the row input above is "X" is child of "Y"
-- Need to create record "Y" is parent of "X"
UNION (
FAMILY_ASSOC_SEQ.nextval,
P4_FAMILY_ID_1,
DECODE(P4_FAMILY_ASSOC,
'1','1',
'2','2',
'3','4',
'4','3',
'5','5',
'6','6',
'7','8',
'8','7',
'9','10',
'10','9'),
P4_FAMILY_ID_2)
I've included some reports on page 4 to show what the table looks like:
One report shows all the associations for the individual, and replaces the values with lookup values.
The next report is exactly the same, but without the lookups.
The last report is the same thing, but shows the inverse relationships for the same individual.
Appreciate any ideas!!!

Heck! And there was me trying to keep things simple :D
In order for the reports to show data before it is written into the actual records, you would need to have a staging table or, at least, store the values on the page in session BEFORE the insert process runs. To do that, you would have to have a two-step process - one to create the temporary data or store the values and the second to actually write the records. The SQL statements that underlie the reports can easily be updated to refer to either the staging table or the session values. Of course, you would have to create at least one additional button on the page - to create/store the data temporarily - this would have to be conditional - and, the existing button would also have to be conditional, so that only one of the two buttons is displayed at any one time.

Insert multiple rows in one step

please i need to create an input form where i can insert more than one row at one step using jsp/struts/bc4j,i noticed that this is a repeated question on the form but no one answer

If you are using JSF then you can use an ADF Faces multi row edit table.
In 10.1.2 with JSP and Struts there was this how-to that might help:

Insert multiple rows with one sql statement in access

Hi,
I'm trying to copy a table into another. What I want to do is to use "Insert into table1 select * from table2 where field > val". Something like that. I know a lot of databases support it. I was wondering if ms access ODBC driver also supports it. I searched quite a bit and haven't found a definitive answer on this.
Thank you

Yes, M$ Access 2000 supports it. This is from their help:
INSERT INTO Statement
Adds a record or multiple records to a table. This is referred to as an append query.
Syntax
Multiple-record append query:
INSERT INTO target [(field1[, field2[, ...]])] [IN externaldatabase]
SELECT [source.]field1[, field2[, ...]
FROM tableexpression
Single-record append query:
INSERT INTO target [(field1[, field2[, ...]])]
VALUES (value1[, value2[, ...])
The way you've written the INSERT, table1 and table2 have to have the same # of columns and the same types, of course.

Script error - Inserting multiple rows in one SQL statement.

Hi,
Tried using INSERT ALL INTO command inside Script. But getting below error.
Oracle <> error message for operation <OCIStmExecute>: <ORA-00928: missing SELECT keyword>.
Same query with single insert statement runs fine without any issues.
Oracle eg:
INSERT ALL
    INTO item (title) VALUES ('title5')
    INTO item (title) VALUES ('title6')
    INTO item (title) VALUES ('title7')
SELECT * FROM dual;
Appreciate your suggestions.
Thx

Hi,
Actual syntax is as below:
INSERT ALL
INTO suppliers (supplier_id, supplier_name) VALUES (1000, 'IBM')
INTO suppliers (supplier_id, supplier_name) VALUES (2000, 'Microsoft')
INTO suppliers (supplier_id, supplier_name) VALUES (3000, 'Google')
SELECT * FROM dual;
Now in your non working query, you have applied comma after first INTO statement.
Please remove it.
Thanks,

Let's say for example user have to the use the form to enter all 10 items or few like 5 on their stock form into 4 different textbox field each lines of your form, however these items go into a "Stock_table" under Single insert transaction query when submit button is pressed.
Please anyone help me out, on how to get this concept started.

Hello,
I have a way to do this, but it would take some hand coding on your part. If you feel comfortable hand writing php code and doing manual database calls, specificaly database INSERT calls you should be fine.
Create a custom form using the ADDT Custom Form Wizard that has all the rows and fields you need. This may take a bit if you are adding the ability for up to 20 rows, as per your diagram of the form area. The nice thing about using ADDT to create the form is that you can setup the form validation at the same time. Leave the last step in the Custom Form Wizard blank. You can add a custom database call here, but I would leave it blank.
Next, under ADDT's Forms Server Behaviors, select Custom Trigger. At the Basic tab, you enter your custom php code that will be executed. Here you are going to want to put your code that will check if a value has been entered in the form and then do a database INSERT operation on the Stock_table with that row. The advanced tab lets you set the order of operations and the name of the Custom Trigger. By default, it is set to AFTER. This means that the Custom Trigger will get executed AFTER the form data is processed by the Custom Form Transaction.
I usually just enter TEST into the "Basic" tab of the Custom Trigger. Then set my order of operations in the "Advanced" tab and close the Custom Trigger. Then I go to the code view for that page in Dreamweaver and find the Custom Trigger function and edit the code manually. It's much easier this way because the Custom Trigger wizard does not show you formatting on the code, and you don't have to keep opening the Wizard to edit and test your code.
Your going to have to have the Custom Trigger fuction do a test on the submitted form data. If data is present, then INSERT into database. Here's a basic example of what you need to do:
In your code view, the Custom Trigger will look something like this:
function Trigger_Custom(&$tNG) {
if($tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1")) {
$item1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1");
$textbox1_1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_1");
$textbox1_2 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_2");
$textbox1_3 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_3");
$date1 = $tNG->getColumnValue("Textbox_3");
$queryAdd = "INSERT INTO Stock_table
(item, Qty_In, Qty_Out, Balance, Date) VALUES($item1, $textbox1_1, $textbox1_2, $textbox1_3, $date1)"
$result = mysql_query($queryAdd) or die(mysql_error());
This code checks to see if the form input field named Item_1 is set. If so, then get the rest of the values for the first item and insert them into the database. You would need to do this for each row in your form. So the if you let the customer add 20 rows, you would need to check 20 times to see if the data is there or write the code so that it stops once it encounters an empty Item field. To exit a Custom Trigger, you can return NULL; and it will jump out of the function. You can also throw custom error message out of triggers, but this post is already way to long to get into that.
$tNG->getColumnValue("Item_1") is used to retrieve the value that was set by the form input field named Item_1. This field is named by the Custom Form Wizard when you create your form. You can see what all the input filed names are by looking in the code view for something like:
// Add columns
$customTransaction->addColumn("Item_1", "STRING_TYPE", "POST", "Item_1");
There will be one for each field you created with the Custom Form Wizard.
Unfortunately, I don't have an easy way to do what you need. Maybe there is a way, but since none of the experts have responded, I thought I would point you in a direction. You should read all you can about Custom Triggers in the ADDT documentation/help pdf to give you more detailed information about how Custom Triggers work.
Hope this helps.

Insert multiple rows in a table

Hello Apex expert,
I need help on insert multiple rows. it may look easy but I don't know how to do it.
I have a table (with name found_table) which has these fields: found_ item_id, item_name, current_location, cost_center, tag_number. Also, I have a table (with the name transition) which has these fields: transition_id, found_item_id (FK to found_table), from_location, to_location, From_cost_center, to_cost_center, tag_number.
I have an interactive report on found_table which I would like to add checkbox to all rows of the report. When the user checks any rows and press submit, I would like to send all these selected rows to another page which I have a form on transition table. The user will select a to_location and to_cost_center from this page (by the way from_location and from_cost_center and tag_number is the same as current_location and cost_center, tag_nuber from found_table, which I figured it out how to show those as a default in the new form). Now I want when a user selects the new location and cost center and press submit, all those selected rows be inserted in transition table with new locations.
I read several threads on forum, but I could not find a solution for my problem. I will appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Atousa

Hello again,
I created a report with check box. I also added two selected list at the top of the region to select the location and cost center. Also, there is a transfer button(as submit) to insert the new data to table. Now I need the insert process. I tried different insert process but none of them is working for me:(((
I created an example of what I need to do in the apex that you can take a look and give me some advise. The link is:
What I need to do is:
When a user selects several rows by using checkbox and selects To_LOCATION, and TO_COST_CENTER from selected list, and clicks on transfer, all the data should be insert in to another table with the name transition as follows:
from found table to transition table
found_item_id(pk) found_item_id (fk)
current_location from_location
cost_center from_cost_center
tag_number tag_number
selected list (to_location) to_location
selected list (to_cost_center) to_cost_center
Please help me on that. I appreciated.

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

Inserting Multiple Rows

Hi, I'm just evaluating Numbers and I can't figure out how to insert multiple rows within a set of existing rows. I can see how to add a single row above or below a row, but not how to open up a block to insert multiple rows.
Many thanks, Jonathan

Hi Mark,
Thank you for the response. I hadn't looked at the "Table" menu, I was looking at the popup menu that appears at the front of the row - that menu continues just to offer 'add row'.
It would be good if the help documentation included this information.
Anyway, you tip solves the problem for me. Many thanks.

Want to insert multiple rows in table using EO

1. Pls check if the create() methos in EOImpl is in place, setting the primary key.
2. Even though we insert values in this fashion , it only gets inserted if user performs any action, like manipulates some column. Pls check if there is any mechansm to make the row dirty ( as if done by user).

Insert multiple rows with autoincrement id

I need to insert multiple rows to a table which has an autoincrement PK (unique), e.g:
Entity:
public Class Entity{
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
@Basic(optional = false)
@Column(name = "id")
Private Long id;
Facade:
@PersistenceContext(unitName = "xx-enterprise-ejbPU")
protected EntityManager em;
public void create(Entity entity) {
em.persist(entity);
Service Class:
public Class Service implements ServiceLocal{
@EJB
private XxxFacadeLocal xxxFacade;
public void saveEntity(Entity entity){
xxxFacade.create(entity)
ManageBean:
public Class ManageBean
@EJB
private ServiceLocal service;
public void doSave(ActionEvent event)
service.saveEntity(entity1); //entity.id is set to null, suppose to be generated by DB auto_increment, i.e. insert 3 rows with 3 different ids
service.saveEntity(entity2);
service.saveEntity(entity3);
The result is: Key duplication error on inserting entity2, but entity1 is inserted into DB with id auto increased correctly.
If I insert only one row each time for test purpose, everything works as expected.
But what I need is to insert multiple rows. How to do it?
Thank you in advance.

Like this (although the @Basic annotation is very much unnecessary). So if it isn't happening you must have made a mistake somewhere. Are you sure the ID column actually has auto_increment?
Also if you are using Hibernate as the persistence provider and you put it on the classpath, check the packages of the annotations you are using; Hibernate and JPA share some with the same name unfortunately.

Insert multiple rows question

Hi!
I need to insert multiple rows into a table with one run, but each row must have its unique id(PK). There is a sequence and a trigger
in our database (11gR1) that get the next value. So, my question is: Is it possible to do a "bulk insert", maybe with a for loop cursor?
Thanks for your feedback!

Insert multiple rows in on table and retreive sequence values

Hello,
I'm searching a way to insert several rows in a table that needs a sequence and retreive its.
For one row i use ExecuteScalar method with the following SQL is :
INSERT INTO MY_TABLE(MY_PK)
VALUES(SEQ_MY_TABLE.NEXTVAL) RETURNING MY_PK INTO :MY_PARAMETER
The aim is to insert several rows at one time. Currently I execute this SQL :
INSERT INTO MY_TABLE(MY_PK, MY_VALUE)
SELECT SEQ_MY_TABLE.NEXTVAL, MY_VALUE
FROM (
SELECT 0 MY_VALUE FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 1 MY_VALUE FROM DUAL
This query works well but i'm wondering how to retreive all sequence values generated by this query.
Is it possible and how ?
Thank you.
Sebastien

I tried this :
string sql = "INSERT INTO MY_TABLE(MY_PK, MY_VALUE) " +
"SELECT SEQ_MY_TABLE.NEXTVAL MY_PK, MY_VALUE FROM ( " +
"SELECT 0 MY_VALUE UNION ALL " +
"SELECT 1 MY_VALUE) " +
"RETURNING MY_PK BULL COLLECT INTO : RETURN_IDS";
using(var manager = myFactory.CreateDbManager()) // Initializes the connection and encapsulates ADO objects
manager.SetCommand(sql);
var cmd = (OracleCommand)manager.Command;
cmd.ArrayBindCount = 2;
var p = new OracleParameter();
p.DbType = DbType.Int64;
p.ParameterName = "RETURN_IDS";
p.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output;
p.CollectionType = OracleCollectionType.PLSQLAssociativeArray;
p.Size = 2*sizeof (long);
cmd.Parameters.Add(p);
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
var result = (Oracle.DataAccess.Types.OracleDecimal[])p.Value;
But I have an error ORA-00933 that indicates that the query is wrong at "RETURNING MY_PK".
