Multitable insert

Hi all
I am doing restictions of multitable insert, but could not understand following two restrictions. Could anybody explain me with examples ??
1. You cannot specify a table collection expression when performing a multitable insert.
2. In a multitable insert, all if the insert_into_clauses cannot combine to specify more than 999 target columns.

1) A table collection is a varray or nested table. In general you do not want to have columns in your tables that are collections in my opinion. If you do have such columns then you may not use a multi-table insert to populate those columns.
2) You may insert into 400 columns of table A and 400 columns of table B -- that adds up to 800 target columns. You may not insert into 400 cols of A, 400 cols of B and 300 cols of C -- that adds up to 1100 target columns, which is more than the limit of 999 target columns.

DML ERROR LOGGING STATEMENT FAILS FOR MULTITABLE INSERT

When I use a simple expression in my dml error logging statement for a multitable insert I get 'end of file on communication channel' on the compile(in all guis tested). It works fine without the simple expression for the multitable insert. The simple expression works ok with a single table insert.
example:
this works ok for single table insert and blows up on multitable inserts:
LOG ERRORS INTO ERR$_INVOICE (TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'YYYYMMDD HH:MI:SS')) REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
this works ok for both:
LOG ERRORS INTO ERR$_CINVOICE REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
any ideas?

No version number, no DDl, and no DML. No help is possible.
Complete version information and a demo that people can run to duplicate your situation will increase the chance of getting help.
I, for example, have no idea what you intend with the statement multitable insert. Is this a reference to INSERT ALL or INSERT FIRST or some other syntax?

Multitable Insert in OWB

Hi,
How can I create a mapping in OWB 11.2 for Multitable Insert?
Thank you.

Multitable insert supported by OWB - use splitter operator dirrectly before target tables and don't forget to specify condition on output group,
but there is limitation on using additinal operators after spilltter - look this thread (for example if you add after splitter filter operator OWB stop generate multitable insert statement):

Multitable insert problem with sequences

Lets consider that I have the folowing configuration:
create table t1 (col number, col2 varchar2(100));
create table t2 (col number, col2 varchar2(100));
create sequence s;
I want to put the same sequence value into many tables with one multitable insert like:
insert all
into t1 (col, col2) values (a, 'dummy 1.1')
into t2 (col, col2) values (a, 'dummy 1.1')
into t2 (col, col2) values (a, 'dummy 1.2')
into t2 (col, col2) values (a, 'dummy 1.3')
select s.nextval as a from dual
I know that the previous statement is "impossible" (acording oracle documentation http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_9014.htm it is forbidden and issue "ORA-02287: sequence number not allowed here" exception)
Do you have any ideas how to workaround this?

SQL> insert all
2 into t1 (col, col2) values (s.nextval, 'dummy 1.1')
3 into t2 (col, col2) values (s.currval, 'dummy 1.1')
4 into t2 (col, col2) values (s.currval, 'dummy 1.2')
5 into t2 (col, col2) values (s.currval, 'dummy 1.3')
6 select 1 from dual;
4 rows created.

What is the purpose of the subquery at the end of a multitable insert?

I am learning about multitable inserts and am confused about the required subquery at the end of the insert statement. Take the following for example:
INSERT ALL
INTO t1 VALUES('value1')
INTO t1 VALUES('value2')
SELECT 1 FROM DUAL;
What is the subquery "SELECT 1 FROM DUAL" for? The subquery must be there; and it can be any select statement, not just the simple one I have here. Does the subquery simply act as a termination for the inserts?

>
INSERT ALL
INTO t1 VALUES('value1')
INTO t1 VALUES('value2')
SELECT 1 FROM DUAL;
What is the subquery "SELECT 1 FROM DUAL" for?It is there for returning a single row from DUAL. Oracle evaluates the rows returned by the subquery and executes each of those "INTO" clauses once for each row returned by the subquery.
Thus, each of the "INTO ... VALUES" clause is evaluated once for that 1 row returned by DUAL.
Alternatively, you could write just one "INTO...VALUES" clause and return multiple rows in the subquery, thusly:
SQL>
SQL> drop table t1;
Table dropped.
SQL> create table t1 (x varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL>
insert all
into t1 values (x)
select 'value1' as x from dual union all
select 'value2' from dual union all
select 'value3' from dual;
3 rows created.
SQL>
SQL> select * from t1;
X
value1
value2
value3
SQL>
SQL>
... Does the subquery simply act as a termination for the inserts?Well, no. The semi-colon character (";") or a forward slash character ("/") on the first column of the last line acts as the SQL terminator.
The subquery is there because Oracle needs some data to evaluate, process as per the conditions and insert into (one or more) tables.
Check the link to the documentation where it is explained in detail:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_9014.htm#SQLRF01604

Can I get individual SQL%ROWCOUNT from a multitable insert?

When using a multitable insert, is it possible to determine the SQL%ROWCOUNT of each of the tables involved in the insert?

I don't know of any built-in method.

Multi table insert with error logging

Hello,
Can anyone please post an example of a multitable insert with an error logging clause?
Thank you,

Please assume that I check the documentation before asking a question in the forums. Well, apparently you had not.
From docs in mention:
multi_table_insert:
{ ALL insert_into_clause
      [ values_clause ] [error_logging_clause]
      [ insert_into_clause

Multiple inserts and upadates in tables through procedures

how to do multiple inserts and updates of tables through procedures

Hi,
Not sure what you mean by 'multiple', without an example....
You could perhaps use [merge | http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_9016.htm#i2091840] ?
Or perhaps you could use [multitable inserts | http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_9014.htm#i2125362] ?

Insert into two tables with a single query (same ID)

Hello,
I want to insert two tables at the same time ( with a single query) provided that both records get inserted with the same id. How do I do this?
Table Movies
id
name
Table Category
movie_id
cat_typea) Insert into first table, retrieve the id (may be by using my_sequence.currval and then insert into another table.
issue: Makes three query to the db, I am also guessing that when multiple people try to insert there will be an issue, I might be wrong.
I don't have any other idea.
Greatly appreciated!

Why don't use multitable insert ? It's available from 9i.
A sequence.nextval will return the same value within the whole instruction
so all records can be inserted with the same id.
Look at this example:
DROP TABLE A;
DROP TABLE B;
drop sequence a_seq;
CREATE TABLE A(
ID NUMBER,
FIRSTNAME VARCHAR2(50)
CREATE TABLE B AS
SELECT id, firstname lastname FROM a;
CREATE SEQUENCE a_seq
START WITH 1;
INSERT ALL
INTO A(ID, FIRSTNAME) VALUES(A_SEQ.NEXTVAL, FNAME)
INTO B(ID, LASTNAME) VALUES(A_SEQ.NEXTVAL, LNAME)
SELECT 'fname ' || LEVEL FNAME, 'lname ' || LEVEL LNAME
FROM DUAL
CONNECT BY LEVEL < 10
COMMIT;
SELECT * FROM A;
SELECT * FROM b;
DROP TABLE A succeeded.
DROP TABLE B succeeded.
drop sequence a_seq succeeded.
CREATE TABLE succeeded.
CREATE TABLE succeeded.
CREATE SEQUENCE succeeded.
18 rows inserted

Khurram Siddiqui
[email protected]

Hello
From the docs:
ALL
If you specify ALL, then Oracle evaluates each WHEN clause regardless of the results of the evaluation of any other WHEN clause. For each WHEN clause whose condition evaluates to true, Oracle executes the corresponding INTO clause list.
FIRST
If you specify FIRST, then Oracle evaluates each WHEN clause in the order in which it appears in the statement. For the first WHEN clause that evaluates to true, Oracle executes the corresponding INTO clause and skips subsequent WHEN clauses for the given row.
ELSE clause
For a given row, if no WHEN clause evaluates to true:
* If you have specified an ELSE clause, then Oracle executes the INTO clause list associated with the ELSE clause.
* If you did not specify an else clause, then Oracle takes no action for that row.
See Also:
"Multitable Inserts: Examples"
Restrictions on Multitable Inserts
* You can perform multitable inserts only on tables, not on views or materialized views.
* You cannot perform a multitable insert into a remote table.
* You cannot specify a table collection expression when performing a multitable insert.
* In a multitable insert, all of the insert_into_clauses cannot combine to specify more than 999 target columns.
* Multitable inserts are not parallelized in a Real Application Clusters environment, or if any target table is index organized, or if any target table has a bitmap index defined on it.
* Plan stability is not supported for multitable insert statements.
* The subquery of the multitable insert statement cannot use a sequence.

Difference between Oracle 8i and 9i

Hi,
Can anyone suggest me what's the difference ( in sql and pl/sql) between Oracle 8i and 9i versions ???
What's the main feature of PL/SQL in Oracle 10g ???
Regards

Hi,
In SQL 9i there are lot of new syntaxes included.
with 9i
1) Scaler subqueries were included(in order by clause and SELECt clause
2) TimeStamp data type(WITH/WITNOUT TIMEZONE) introduced and along with other relevant date conversion functions introduced
3) WITH clause introduced for storing the subqueries temporarily in the session
3) MERGE statement is one more new DML introduced in 9i
4) Few functions introduced in 9i such as NVL2,COALACE,CASE, DECODe etc.
5) Few more join types introduced, with some new keywords like USING, ON etc. also new Join Syntax introduced compatible with ANSI SQL 1999 standards
also FULL OUTER JOIN made easier without using UNION clauses.
6) iSQL Plus introduced that is a GUI version of CUI SQL PLUS
7) For the grouping mechanism, GROUPING and GROUPING SETS are 2 new functiosn introduced.
8) Multitable INSERT statements for different purposes other than normal OLTP work.
9) Enhancements in PLSQL, EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
10) Few more Oracle Supplied Packages made available.
11) ALTER TABLE syntax for changin LONG column to LOB introduced.
I have tried to put here whatever i cud remember with the help of my notebooks and docs.
Thanks

Update in a Case statement

hi
I have a case statement as
SELECT BB.ID,
CASE WHEN BB.TITLE != AA.PREFIX THEN AA.PREFIX ELSE NULL END "PREFIX",
CASE WHEN BB.LST_NAME != AA.SPRIDEN_LAST_NAME THEN AA.LAST_NAME ELSE NULL END "LAST_NAME",
CASE WHEN BB.FST_NAME != AA.FIRST_NAME THEN AA.FIRST_NAME ELSE NULL END "FIRST_NAME",
FROM NAME1 BB, NAME2 AA WHERE NAME1.ID = AA.NAME2.ID
I would like to take the results into a new table NAME3
with coulumns NAME_ID,NAME_PREFIX,NAME_LAST_NAME,NAME_FIRST_NAME
like CASE WHEN WHEN BB.TITLE != AA.PREFIX THEN (UPDATE TABLE NAME3 SET name_prefix= AA.PREFIX WHERE NAME1.ID=NAME.ID)
please help me with the syntax

Hi,
If you are updating Name3 then you can use the below query
UPDATE table NAME3 NAME3
SET (NAME_ID,NAME_PREFIX,NAME_LAST_NAME,NAME_FIRST_NAME) =
SELECT BB.ID,
CASE WHEN BB.TITLE != AA.PREFIX THEN AA.PREFIX ELSE NULL END "PREFIX",
CASE WHEN BB.LST_NAME != AA.SPRIDEN_LAST_NAME THEN AA.LAST_NAME ELSE NULL END "LAST_NAME",
CASE WHEN BB.FST_NAME != AA.FIRST_NAME THEN AA.FIRST_NAME ELSE NULL END "FIRST_NAME",
FROM NAME1 BB, NAME2 AA WHERE NAME1.ID = AA.NAME2.ID AND NAME1.ID = NAME3.id)If you are inserting into NAME3, then please search on the net for "Multitable Insert ALL".

Hi,
Thanks for replying ,actually i did the mistake. I'm using multitable insert stmt. on 2 different tables that's why it gave an err msg.Instead of using multitable insert stmts i used 2 insert stmt. on Procedure & it gets compiled.
