Hello,
In addition to Naomi's reply, you can refer to the following links about loop through all the tables in the database:

  • Insert into all tables on a Database on Test Server select from all tables on a database A from production server

     
    hi Friends ,i need a suggestion from  you on how to
    insert data to all tables on a Database  "A " on Test server
    Select data from all tables on  a Database  "A" on Production Server

    Database A is same with Structures on Test and Production also all Tables  will have  Id column in common.
    The purpose of this insert is ,as we all know Production has the latest data and i need to push to test server on request for particular ID only  ( may be weekly once or  twice a week )
    I  have a linked server setup name "LINQ" 
    Example for one table is below , like wise i need a script which does for 154 tables.

    Why not use export import wizard for this if you've read access to production?

    I have more than 500 tables in my database.
    'insert_date' & update_date column is found in more
    than 100 tables with data type as date.
    I need a query to list all table names and
    'insert_date' column's content.What do you mean by "column's content". A table can have many rows. Do you want to display all the distinct value for these columns?
    Below is the query to get the tables which has columns insert_Date and update_date
    select table_name
    from user_tab_columns
    where column_name ='INSERT_DATE'
    or column_name ='UPDATE_DATE'
    /You can write a PL/SQL block to retrive the distinct values of INSERT_DATE for these tables
    declare
    TYPE ref_cur IS REF CURSOR;
    insert_date_cur ref_cur;
    lv_insert_date DATE;
    cursor tables_list IS
    select table_name
    from user_tab_columns
    where column_name ='INSERT_DATE';
    begin
    for cur_tables in tables_list
    loop
      OPEN insert_date_cur for 'SELECT DISTINCT insert_date from '||cur_tables.table_name;
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(cur_tables.table_name);
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('--------------------------------');
      LOOP
      FETCH insert_date_cur into lv_insert_date;
      EXIT WHEN insert_date_cur%NOTFOUND;
      DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(lv_insert_date);
      END LOOP;
    CLOSE insert_date_cur;
    end loop;
    end;I haven't tested this code. There might be some errors. Just posted something to start with for you.

  • Delete a record from a table in a Database with Database Connectivity

    I can't find the function from the Database Connectivity library that allows me to delete a record from a table of the database. I tried to use DB Tools Free Object.vi function but this one deletes only the table created with a query.
    Thankyou

    I have used the sql query as described above and it works fine with access DB and the DB toolkit, the free object vi only deallocated a recordset's references this will noty alter the database since the record is a copy of the databases information.  The SQL delete function is very versatile and you should be able to delete records with no problem.

  • I need to copy data from a table in one database (db1) to another table in

    Hi
    I need to copy data from a table in one database (db1) to another table in another database (db2).
    I am not sure if the table exists in db2,,,if it doesnot it needs to be created as well data also needs to be inserted...
    How am I supposed to this using sql statements..?
    I shall be happy if it is explained SQL also...
    Thanking in advance

    How many rows does the table contains? There are manyway you can achieve this.
    1. export and import.
    2. create a dblink between two databases and use create table as select, if structure doesnot exists in other database, if structure exists, use, insert into table select command.
    example:
    create a dblink in db2 database for db1 database.
    create table table1 as select * from table1@db1 -- when there is no structure present
    -- you need to add constraints manually, if any exists.
    insert into table1 select * from table1@db1 -- when there is structure present.
    If the table contains large volume of data, I would suggest you to use export and import.

  • Finding Columns with only NULL as values

    I have a list of tables around 30 in number. Among them i need to generate a report with Table Name and Column Names, for which all values are NULL.
    In other words, i need to find all the columns for which all the values are NULL.
    I thought of dealing it with cursors, and comparing the total count with null count in each column. But i need to loop "Number of columns" times. Is there any better way to do this?

    I think your way is a good solution. It has the advantage that you can check several columns in one select.
    select count(*), count(col1), count(col2) ... from mytabAnother approach could be to check statistical information about your table data.
    However this will not give you always the correct data.
    It depends on the time of the last statistic collection, the sample size and on the detail level.
    Here is a sample statement to play with:
    select owner, table_name, column_name, num_distinct, num_nulls, num_buckets, sample_size, low_value, high_value
    from all_tab_columns
    where owner not in ('SYS','SYSTEM')
    and nullable = 'Y' -- null values allowed
    and num_distinct = 0 -- only nulls found
    --and density = 0
    ;Note that this select would not return tables for which no statistics had been calculated. Num_distinct is NULL in such a case.

  • One of the Column returned as NULL from SQL Server 2008

    Hi,
    I have written a stored procedure in SQL server 2008. The procedure reads data into a temporary table @MeterWiseConsumptionBetwDates as shown
    SELECT @sqlstatement =     'SELECT '''@MeterName''', CAST ( MAX('@Meterfield') AS FLOAT )-CAST ( MIN('@Meterfield') AS FLOAT )
                                  FROM KWH
                                  WHERE     KWH.timestamp BETWEEN @StDate AND @EndDate'
    INSERT INTO @MeterWiseConsumptionBetwDates(MeterName,Consumption)
    EXEC sp_executesql @sqlstatement, N'@StDate datetime, @EndDate datetime', @StDate, @EndDate
    Now when I execute the stored procedure in SQL Server Management Studio it returns all the columns from the table @MeterWiseConsumptionBetwDates, but when I execute the procedure in MII it returns the values in the Consumption column as null. The MeterName column is returned correctly in both the cases.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Glad to hear that it is working.  You should be able to use
    execute <proc name> '[SD]'
    [SD] and [ED]
    are the query date tokens, so whatever you have assigned on the Date Range tab will be passed to the query.

    Hi justin , thanx for the reply
    the basic requirement that we required is ,
    the user will just type the keyword( value in the coumn) he required and it should search all the tables and columns of the table in the database and i have to show this in the front ent in the table format. here the user will analyse the information based on the search .
    it is just like the google search we does( type the keyword in free text) it will display the result.
    so for that i have to search entire table and columns in the whole database.
    please if any one provides me the solution it will be help full for me.
    thanx in advance

    hi all
    "select tblowner,tblname from tables where tblowner in (select user from dual);"
    I want a list of all tables that belongs to the current user. I use the SQL above, but given "no rows selectd",but if

    "select tblowner,tblname from tables where tblowner = 'JFMDB');".
    I got the list. why?
    Thnk u very much！

    This looks like a bug that was fixed in 7.0.5.13 and onwards. I can reproduce what you are seeing in 7.0.5.10.0 (Linux x86-64 / Access control enabled instance from root install) but not 7.0.5.13.0 (Linux x86-64 / Access control enabled instance from root install).
    Unfortunately I don't have a bug number to pass on. I can't see anything relevant listed in the Release Notes and I haven't found a likely candidate in our internal listings. This may well have been one that was fixed "in passing" when RnD were working on something similar.
