ORA-01446 when selecting ROWID from View with Union

I have a View that uses a Union to select from 3 tables. I would like the View to return the ROWID for the record that is returned so that I can update it in my form. The View compiles fine but when I select from the View I get ORA-01446 error.
Example of my view:
SELECT ROWID, col_a, col_b, col_c
FROM tab_a
UNION ALL
SELECT ROWID, col_a, col_b, col_c
FROM tab_b
UNION ALL
SELECT ROWID, col_a, col_b, col_c
FROM tab_c
I need the ROWID because my tables do not contain UNIQUE/PRIMARY key constraints. In my form I want to update the view with an underlying INSTEAD OF database trigger.
Any suggestions?

I think it will work if you give the column an alias (ie a name after the first rowid) and select that instead.
You will probably also need another column in your view indicating which table the row came from if you want to update it.

ORA-01446: cannot select ROWID from view with DISTINCT, GROUP BY, etc.

Hi,
I have created view by joining two tables...And it is like this...
Create view Test_Data as
Select t.column1, t.column2, t.rowid from table1 t
union s.column1,s.column2, s.rowid from table2 s
with read only...
Now I executed the following stmt...
Select * from Test_Data where rowid = objid_ where I am passing the objid_ value...But it gave me the above error...can not I run this select stmt using the rowid ?
Any input is highly appreciated...
Thanks And Best Regards,

Hi All Again,
I created the view in the following way...Just to check...
CREATE VIEW my_view AS
SELECT t.col1 col1,
t.col2 col2,
t.rowid objid
FROM table1 t
WHERE rownum < 400
UNION
SELECT q.col1 col1,
q.col2 col2,
q.rowid objid
FROM table2 q
WITH read only;
Then I executed the following stmt...
Select * from my_view where rowid = objid_
Then I did not get that Oracle Error ORA-01446, Does anybody have any clue regarding this matter, i.e. how the use of rownum solve this prob...
Thanks And Best Regards,

Check this:
SQL> create view my_view as select rowid rd from dual;
View created.
SQL> select * from my_view;
RD
AAAACsAABAAAAGiAAA
SQL> select * from my_view where rd = 'AAAACsAABAAAAGiAAA';
RD
AAAACsAABAAAAGiAAA
SQL> So your create view statement should be:
Create view Test_Data as
Select t.column1, t.column2, t.rowid rd from table1 t
union s.column1,s.column2, s.rowid from table2 s
with read onlyThen try:
Select * from Test_Data where rd = objid;Edited by: AP on Jul 28, 2010 2:19 AM

ORA-01446: cannot select ROWID from, or sample, a view with DISTINCT, GROUP

In my data model (load from a database) there is this data control and its accessor return.
When I drag the accessor return inside a jsf page I create a adf read only table (that has about 5000 rows), the I run the page and it works.
Since I want to display only 20 ( or 50 or 100 is the same) rows for each page I had changed the access mode from the default value "Scrollable" to "Range Paging" and then I ve selected range size 50.
Now if I run hte jsf page there are no data to display and if I press the small triangles to order the column or insert a word in the filter field I have the message ORA-01446: cannot select ROWID from, or sample, a view with DISTINCT, GROUP.
I dont know how to do to solve this problem.
Stefano

An other thing.
I solved this problem, maybe I dont understand the meaning of access mode and range size , since every value I choose of these 2 fields the visualization of the table doesnt change.

Tabular form on a view :ORA-01446: cannot select ROWID from, or sample...

Hi,
I have two tables
CUSTOMERS
===========
Name Null Type
======================
CUST_UID NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
CUST_NAME VARCHAR2(50)
ITEM_PRICES
===========
Name Null Type
======================
IP_UID NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
IP_ITEM_DESC VARCHAR2(50
IP_COST_PRICE NUMBER(6,2)
IP_SELL_PRICE NUMBER(6,2)
I have a view IPS_VW which is the cartician product of CUSTOMERS and ITEM_PRICES, and an instead of trigger for UPDATE on this view which either inserts or updates data in the following third table
ITEM_PRICES_SPECIAL
===========
Name Null Type
======================
IPS_UID NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
CUST_UID NUMBER(4)
IP_UID NUMBER(4)
IPS_SELL_PRICE NUMBER(6,2)
The following is my view
SELECT 'A'||ROWNUM AS "IPSVW_UID",
0 AS "IPSVW_IPS_UID",
"CUSTOMERS"."CUST_UID" AS "IPSVW_CUST_UID",
"ITEM_PRICES"."IP_UID" AS "IPSVW_IP_UID",
"ITEM_PRICES"."IP_SELL_PRICE" AS "IPSVW_IPS_SELL_PRICE"
FROM "CUSTOMERS" "CUSTOMERS",
"ITEM_PRICES" "ITEM_PRICES"
WHERE NOT EXISTS
(SELECT 1
FROM "ITEM_PRICES_SPECIAL" "ITEM_PRICES_SPECIAL"
WHERE "ITEM_PRICES_SPECIAL"."IP_UID" ="ITEM_PRICES"."IP_UID"
AND "ITEM_PRICES_SPECIAL"."CUST_UID" ="CUSTOMERS"."CUST_UID"
UNION
SELECT 'B' ||ROWNUM AS "IPSVW_UID",

And this is the instead of trigger

BEGIN
IF :N.IPSVW_IPS_UID = 0 THEN
INSERT INTO ITEM_PRICES_SPECIAL

ELSE
UPDATE ITEM_PRICES_SPECIAL
SET IPS_SELL_PRICE = :N.IPSVW_IPS_SELL_PRICE
WHERE IPS_UID = :N.IPSVW_IPS_UID;
END IF;
END;
Everything works fine in SQLPLUS, if i update a rate in this view, a record is either inserted or updated in the third table.
But when i try to create a tabular form based on this view, i get the error
ORA-01446: cannot select ROWID from, or sample, a view with DISTINCT, GROUP BY, etc.
Could someone help me please?
Thanks,
Allen

I think The tabular form needs to be able to identify some primary key and using a rownum concatenation cannot provide that.

Ora 01446 cannot select rowid from, or sample....

Hi All,
I get this error if I try to test my query. "ora 01446 cannot select ROWID from, or sample, a view with DISTINCT,GROUP BY,etc"..Can anyone tell me what does this error represent and how will i be able to resolve it.
FYI the jDeveloper version is 11.1.1.4.0

Hi Timo,
I faced this error while creating a view object. Yes its working fine in SQL worksheet.
The query looks as below:
SELECT DISTINCT Wfcommentsentity.UPDATEDBY,A.UPDATEDBYDISPLAYNAME,Wfcommentsentity.COMMENTDATE,Wfcommentsentity.TASKID,Wfcommentsentity.ROWID FROM WFCOMMENTS Wfcommentsentity,
(SELECT DISTINCT UPDATEDBYDISPLAYNAME, UPDATEDBY,TASKID FROM WFTASKHISTORY WHERE TASKID = :Task_Id OR TASKGROUPID = :Task_Id)A
WHERE A.UPDATEDBY = Wfcommentsentity.UPDATEDBY
AND A.TASKID = Wfcommentsentity.TASKID order by Wfcommentsentity.ROWID

Error ORA-01446:cannot select ROWID - Bug?

Hi
I am getting an error message in SQL Developer 3.0.04.34
Error ORA-01446:cannot select ROWID from view with DISTINCT, GROUP BY, etc.
(you can read the full details at http://www.techonthenet.com/oracle/errors/ora01446.php )
when I create a view containing "DISTINCT" even though it doesn't have a rowid anywhere in the select.
Is this a bug? The view seems to function well enough but sql developer itself seems to be struggling a bit.
I have found accounts of similarish bugs on this site from about 2007 but relating to slightly different sets of circs, but if I am asking an old and obvious question then apologies in advance.
C

Hi C,
Well, the question may be old (see at least: ORA-01446 error in SQL Developer 3EA4 but I doubt it's obvious.
The simplest cases of create view ... as for the following selects
select distinct deptno from dept;
select deptno, count(*) employees from emp group by deptno;work fine in all the 2.x, 3.x releases in the object viewer data tab. Of course, running a select which includes a rowid on these views from a worksheet will fail as expected.
In such situations a simple, reproducible test case is always nice but, at a minimum, please provide a listing of the broken code and a description of exactly how/where in SQL Developer the error occurs.

Error ORA-01446 when updating a versioned table with SQLDeveloper 1.5.4

Hi,
I have been trying out Oracle Workspace Manager to test how versioned tables might work to our advantage. My basic testing process is:
1. Create a table
2. Add some data rows
3. Version enable the table
4. Create a workspace
5. Goto the created workspace
6. Update a row
7. Commit and I get the following error
UPDATE "COMSERV"."A_OWM_TEST" SET DESCRIPTION = 'ABCDEFGHIJzzzz' WHERE ROWID = 'AAAThNAAIAAAgwqAAY'
One error saving changes to table "COMSERV"."A_OWM_TEST":
Row 10: ORA-01446: cannot select ROWID from view with DISTINCT, GROUP BY, etc.
The same update works fine from SQLPlus so my question is Does SQL developer support table versioning or have I done something wrong is setting up my versioned tables?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Richard Wilkinson

hye...
is that any view referring to that table...
check the code on how u create that view...
for e.g.
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW testview
(id, name)
AS
select * from testing;
this also will populate that ORA-01446 error.
just a suggestion cause i also have a similar problem on ORA-01446 and i resolve it by alter the view..
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW testview
(id, name)
AS
select id, name from testing;
correct me if i'm worng...i'm just a newbie..
thank you...

SQL Developer 3.1 EA3: ORA-01446: cannot select ROWID . . .

I'm running into a problem in 3.1 EA3 that I did not see in 3.0 (Oracle IDE 3.0.04.34). Both Installations are 64 bit using 64 bit Java under Windows 7 x64 SP1.
When from either the "Connections" or "Schema" window I open some views and select the "Data" tab I the following messages:
ORA-01446: cannot select ROWID from, or sample, a view with DISTINCT, GROUP BY, etc.
ORA-02063: preceding line from HSDEVL
twice. Other views give:
ORA-01445: cannot select ROWID from, or sample, a join view without a key-preserved table
ORA-02063: preceding line from HSDEVL
All views that show the error retrieve the data via a dblink to another oracle instance, although not all views using the dblink show an error.
Has anyone else seen this change? Is there anything I can do to get it fixed.
Thanks.

I'm having the same issue. The issues seems to also exist in the newly release 3.1.
Yes it seems to be related to the instead of trigger.
Is this a known bug?
Here is a testcase to reproduce the issue.
create table mytab as select * from tab;
create table myobjects as select * from user_objects;
create or replace view test_view as
select myobjects.object_id, mytab.tname, mytab.tabtype from mytab, myobjects where mytab.tname=myobjects.object_name group by myobjects.object_id, mytab.tname, mytab.tabtype;
create or replace trigger io_test_view_trg
INSTEAD OF INSERT or UPDATE or DELETE
ON test_view
FOR EACH ROW
begin
if updating then
update mytab set tname=:NEW.tname, TABTYPE=:NEW.TABTYPE where tname=:OLD.tname;
update myobjects set object_name=:NEW.tname where object_name=:OLD.tname;
end if;
end;

ORA-01445: cannot select ROWID from, or sample, a join view without a key-p

Hi All,
I am facing issue with one sql query. It is giving me error:
ORA-01445: cannot select ROWID from, or sample, a join view without a key-preserved table
I am not getting any clue to solve this. On internet, i didn't find proper reason for this error and troubleshooting way and solution for this error. Everywhere i saw one sentence, "Key preserved means the row from the base table will appear AT MOST ONCE in the output view on that table" but it didn't solve my problem.
I have 1099 columns in one select query. so avoiding the actual column list in select clause. Instead I am trying to select ROWIDs from all tables in join. My understanding is ROWID is a unique identifier in table not in database. But though I remove ROWIDs, I get same error. So please don't bother about these ROWIDs.
SELECT

While trying to sort this error, I found interesting things that made me more confused.
if I remove TO_DATE function from select clause, same join query works.
If I remove any table from join and keep TO_DATE function in select clause, query works.
That tells, there is no problem in query.
Then please anyone help me to sort out the error. FYI. I have googled a lot for this error. but didn't get solution/clue. That is why I am posting this problem to forum.
Thanks in advance. waiting for reply ASAP.

I think i got the solution. The syntax i was using (ANSI syntax) doesn't work in the oracle database version i am using.
When i updated my query with older oracle syntax, it worked.

When setting the tabular form, only use the table that you are trying to update/modify.
After that is working, modify the SQL source with the other tables.
By just pasting an SQL query into the region source, it doesnt know what tables you are trying to update

Ora-01445 cannot select rowid from or sample a join view ?

Hi All
I get this error , while creating VO
"ora-01445 cannot select rowid from or sample a join view without a key-preserved table"
I created an EO, my table doesnt have primary key and it EO by deafualt created ROWID as primary key
When i create VO, using the following query by joining fnd_flex_values , then i see this ORA error
SELECT xxg2sourceacctneweo.elimination_sob_id, xxg2sourceacctneweo.ROWID

but I was able to get the results in TOAD, with out any issue.
as a part of testing , if i change the query to join to fnd_user , it works fine
SELECT XXG2SourceAcctNewEO.ELIMINATION_SOB_ID,
XXG2SourceAcctNewEO.ROWID FROM xxg2_elim_source_accts XXG2SourceAcctNewEO,fnd_user fc where fc.user_id=XXG2SourceAcctNewEO.created_by
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Ravi,
Please mark some attributes as PRimary Key in your VO. Then the system would not automatically generate the ROWID. You can remove this View attribute using the VO wizard.

ORA-01445: cannot select ROWID from a join view without a key-preserved tab

Hi All,
I have 2 windows in a form. When i click on a button in first window, then 2nd window will be opened. (Note: both windows are based have master-details relationship with Table1 and Table2 respectively)
When i enter the information in 2nd window and click the SAVE Button it has to save those values to database. It used to work fine earlier. now, i am getting the following error.
FRM-40501: ORACLE error: unable to reserve record for update or delete.
ORA-01445: cannot select ROWID from a join view without a key-preserved table
Please help me, how can i resolve this error. Also, guide me what is a key-preserved table.
Thanks in advance,
Amar

Firstly: - Please make sure that you have not opened the same record somewhere else in any other form and trying to update from there.
Secondly: - In your window 1 have you opened the same record which you are querying, editing and saving in window 2 ? If yes then this will givbe you error as you are trying to update a record which is already being updated somewhere else.
Please mark if it helps

ORA-01445 : cannot select rowid from a join view without a key preserved ta

Hi,
I am using Designer6i for generatin forms:
my blokc is based on a view...
when executing the module, I have the following error when trying to change a value of an item :
FRM 40501: unabe to reserve record for update or delete ,
the display error say :
ORA-01445 : cannot select rowid from a join view without a key preserved table!!!!!
Any help please ???

you either create an INSTEAD OF trigger for that view or use on-lock trigger on that block to edit, e.g., SELECT ...INTO...FROM...WHERE...FOR UPDATE NOWAIT.

V4.0 - Tabular form ORA-01445: cannot select ROWID from, or sample,

Hi
I'm creating a tabular form in version 4.0.
The select is based on three tables all of which have primary keys, and the keys are selected, but every time I run the page I get the following error:-
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-01445: cannot select ROWID from, or sample, a join view without a key-preserved table
The query runs just fine in TOAD
Any ideas?
Thanks
Mike

Hi Marc,
Thanks again for the quick reply and all the support the dev team is providing to us.
Couple of question finally on this issue:
- fixing the "copy page"/"copy validation" bug, our workaround - by making a page copy - we've found to use the standard validation on tabular form based on complex views will go away, right?
- I made a sql trace when running the originally created tabular form page and I found the statement generated by the apex engine which gives the ORA-01446. Just wondering, would it be possible that apex is using the PK defined during the wizard instead of the rowid?
- If not, would it be a possible enhancement request in the future to let the developer name the ROWID column optionally, and then apex will use that column as rowid instead of the ROWID? This can give flexibility for us as developers, in this case complex views (with instead of triggers) can be standard way supported. What I mean exactly is to create the above view in the testcase as follows (most of these cases there is always a base table in the view, and the rest of the tables are used as lookups, so I can pick up the desired ROWID in the view with an alias):
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW CUSTOMER_ORDERS_V AS
SELECT cus.customer_id,
            cus.cust_last_name,
            cust_first_name,
            cus.cust_city,
            COUNT (ord.order_id) order_count,
            CUS.ROWID ROW_ID
       FROM demo_customers cus, demo_orders ord
      WHERE ord.customer_id(+) = cus.customer_id
   GROUP BY cus.customer_id,
            cus.cust_last_name,
            cust_first_name,
            cus.cust_city,
            CUS.ROWID;and then at design time, I could pick up the ROW_ID column as rowid, so all the rest of the functionality could work as working now on simple views and tables.
What do you think on that?
best regards,
Peter
