May returning Clause be used w/ INSERT INTO...SELECT FROM

Hi,
I use Oracle 8i: 8.1.7.2.0.
I'd like to insert multiple rows into a table, and get back certain inserted columns into a collection variable. Is this possible?
Eg:
INSERT INTO foo
f1
, f2
SELECT b1, b2...
FROM bar
RETURNING f1 bulk collect into collection
This compiles, but yields a "command not properly ended" error at runtime--I assume because the "returning" binds to the SELECT subquery, and not to the main INSERT query.
Is there a way to do this?
By the way, I already know this works when INSERTing just 1 row via the "values" clause.
Regards,

How can i achieve this ..

If its empty then you can drop it and create it as
create your_another_table
as
<your select statement that return 60000000 records>
Please suggest me the best way to do that .

It depends on the reason behind you wanting to split your transaction into small chunks. Most of the time there is no good reason for that.
If you are tying to imporve performance by doing so then you are wrong it will only degrade the performance.
To improve the performance you can use APPEND hint in insert, you can try PARALLEL DML and If you are in 11g and above you can use [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e25788/d_parallel_ex.htm#CHDIJACH]DBMS_PARALLEL_EXECUTE to break your insert into chunks and run it in parallel.
So if you can tell the actual objective we could offer some help.

Mechanism of a insert into select

Hi
I am using a insert with select in a batch program which is supposed to run just a little before midnight.
My question is, when a insert into a table occurs, does oracle select all the rows before the insert starts, OR, does the insert occur simultaneously with the select.
eg. table B has 4 rows
data is being inserted into A from B
does oracle select row1 from B and insert row1 into table A and then move to row2 in B and insert row2 into A
OR
does oracle select rows1 thro 4 in B before the first insert into A starts?
If anybody could point me to a document/reference about that would be aweosme.
--vj

There is no need to know this kind of internals. A statement is atomic, so it either completes in total or not at all. Other sessions cannot see intermediate results, even your own session is not able to. If you would try, for example by using database triggers, you'll get a mutating table error to prevent that.

We have a report.
As per current design following steps are used to populate the custom table whcih is used for reporting purpose:
1) DELETE all the recods from the custom table XXX_TEMP_REP.
2) INSERT records in custom table XXX_TEMP_REP (Assume all the records related to type A)
using
INSERT..... INTO..... SELECT.....

How to use "insert into & select" in format search

Hello,
I am just wonderring whether you can help me solve this issue.
I want to change the value of a field in the title area for a sales quotation. however, this field is not shown up on the interface.
For example, there is a field in the title area, "OQUT.Ref1". You actually cannot see this field from the quotation interface or any other doc. Now I want to update the value of this field.
What I am now trying to do is to create an field named "update" in the title area, use format search to update. the code for the command will be something like
Insert into $[OQUT.Ref1.0]
select $[OQUT.U_MFG#]
here, U_MFG# is UDF. as you may understand, I want to copy the value in the U_MFG# to the field of "Ref1".
However, when I run "Execute", it gives me error. I believe there is something wrong with the code of "Insert into $[OQUT.Ref1.0]
Does anyone know how to write the code?
many thanks
Stanley

Thanks both Suda and sagar. The reason I wanted to do this is because I wanted to have UDF info be shown on the MS word-templated quotation document.
As you know, when you click the word symbol, a word-templated doc will be generated. The client needs two completely different format of quotation printout. thus I plan to print one type from PLD and other type by clicking the Word symbol. but later, I found out that the UDF field cannot be selected on the MS word template, or only system fields.
Thus, the only way I can do is to copy the value from udf to some unused sytem fields and then show that system fields on the MS word template.
any idea do you have?
I wanted to tell SAP that It is not useful if the udf fields cannot be inserted into word template.
thanks
Stanley

SSIS - Script Task creates a DTS var and using Foreach loop, Execute SQL needs to INSERT into table from this DTS var.

I have a script task written in C# that creates an array of strings "arrayFields" after parsing a text file. It saves the array of strings in a DTS variable.
Each row in array represents a row is comma separated and is a row that must be inserted into a table. For example,
X and Z are fields in the table
X1, X2,....Xn
Z1,Z2,...Zn
I am using a Foreach Loop to grab each row and then Execute SQL Task to take each row from the array and insert each field per row in a table,
The SQL is something like,
INSERT dbo.table values(field1, field2,...fieldn) arrayFields?
What should this this INSERT look like?

I guess you implemented
Shredding a Recordset
Based on what I understood (correct me if I am wrong) you have difficulties mapping the input parameters, if so here is the guide
http://www.sqlis.com/sqlis/post/The-Execute-SQL-Task.aspx
In short it might look like
INSERT dbo.table (ColumnA, ColumnB,...) VALUES (?,?...)
The syntax for the T-SQL INSERT is http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd776381%28v=sql.105%29.aspx

Convert it to a ADO .Net recordset and store it in a object variable in SSIS.
Then you can use it to populate the table using foreach loop with ado enumerator

Insert into MSSQL from Oracle

Hello together,
I'm a little bit frustrated. The follwoing is my problem:
I want to insert some values from an Oracle 10gR2 database into a MSSQL database (SQL Server 2008 R2).
Therefor I'm using DG4ODBC 11.2.0.3. The connection is working absolutly fine.
I want to insert five values from five columns from oracle.table-a into a msssql table-b.
But I'm hitting the error:
Invalid character value for cast specification.
Two columns from the oracle table are chars size 12 and 40, and three are number size 5.1, 5.1 and 4.
The MSSQL column definitions are varchar40, varchar50, 2x float8 and int.
The column assignments are:
Oralce -> MSSQL
a. char 12 -> varchar40
b. char 40 -> varchar50
c. number 5.1 -> float8
d. number 5.1 -> float8
e. number 4 -> int4
The insert works greate for a,b and e but nor for c and d.
I tried so many solutions (cast, to_binary_float, nls_character_format, nls_theritpory etc..) but nothing helps.
I always hitting this error.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
cheers
Joe

Hi together,
I fixed the problem. I multiply the origin number with 10. The result is a number without any comma. During the insert into MSSql I divide by 10.
I now, this is a very strange solution but it works.
Yes I know this helps only, because the column can only save number with one decimal place. For higher decimal places you have to multiple it with 100 or 1000 or......
Hope this helps also other peoples.
kind regards
Joe

Procedure or function for insert into select ...

Hi!
We need to know if we can create a procedure or function that will run the following script:
insert into agent.train_schedule
select 4000, '06:25' ,trunc(sysdate, 'year')+t.n
from agent.trains, (select rownum -1 n from dual
connect by level <= 365) t
where agent.trains.id = 4000 and
agent.trains.weekday like '%'||to_char(trunc(sysdate, 'year')+t.n, 'd',
'nls_date_language=AMERICAN')||'%';
The script inserts the train schedule dates into the train schedule table in accordance to the trains table.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Try the below:
Create Or Replace procedure test_proc(p_train_no number, p_train_time varchar2) as
begin
insert into agent.train_schedule
select p_train_no, p_train_time ,trunc(sysdate, 'year')+t.n
from agent.trains, (select rownum -1 n from dual
connect by level <= 365) t
where agent.trains.id = p_train_no and
agent.trains.weekday like '%'||to_char(trunc(sysdate, 'year')+t.n, 'd',
'nls_date_language=AMERICAN')||'%';
end;
Call the procedure from the gui also pass the train number and the train time.

Can ResultSetMetaData() return the table name if it is selected from a view

hi all
can anyone tell me if ResultSetMetaData() can return the name of the table if it is selected from a view? thanks, i tried and it didn't return nothing. is it because the view is treated differently than table in ResultSetMetaData?

hi all
can anyone tell me if ResultSetMetaData() can return
the name of the table if it is selected from a view?
thanks, i tried and it didn't return nothing. is it
because the view is treated differently than table in
ResultSetMetaData?I would say "no". A view could be a multi-table join query, or maybe even a no-table query. The bigger picture I think though, is that you shouldn't need to know what the underlying table(s) were for this query - smells of a mis-design.

Problem inserting into DB from XML using XSQL

Hi everyone!
I try to load an XML document into a DB table, for the moment i only get access to a MySQL DB server, but i hope to use ORACLE soon. My problem is the next one:
when i try to execute an insert query against the DB server it always fails, i get no problem doing another operation like select and so on. I have try in several ways:
1. From a XSQL page using the tags xsql:insert-request, in the case the error looks like:
Action xsql:insert-request
Message org.gjt.mm.mysql.jdbc2.Connection
2. I also have try the MoreoverIntoNews java examples, and the problem seem similar:
Exception in thread "main" oracle.xml.sql.OracleXMLSQLException:
org.gjt.mm.mysql.jdbc2.Connection
at oracle.xml.sql.dml.OracleXMLSave.saveXML(OracleXMLSave.java:1967)
at oracle.xml.sql.dml.OracleXMLSave.insertXML(OracleXMLSave.java:1060)
at MoreoverIntoNewsstory.main(MoreoverIntoNewsstory.java:43)
How can i fix this problem?
I also have realize that when i remove from the CLASSPATH the file "classes12.zip" then i
get next exception:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/sql/CLOB
Then it seems that the XML-SQL utilities (XSU) are only to work with Oracle and not with other DB engine.
Thanks in advance.
Marcos.

Is there a solution to this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions?
