You cannot specify DEFAULT when updating a view.
You cannot update a column that is referenced in the ON condition clause. Problem is you use ARCH_FLAG and CREDIT_HEADER_ID in ON clause -
on (Mirror.ARCH_FLAG = qt.ARCH_FLAG and Mirror.CREDIT_HEADER_ID = qt.CREDIT_HEADER_ID)
and try to update them:
set Mirror.CREDIT_HEADER_ID=qt.CREDIT_HEADER_ID,
Mirror.ARCH_FLAG=qt.ARCH_FLAG,
It violates the deterministic.

Problem with Merge into stmt

Dears,
I m using 10g XE.
I am using merge into stmt, to inesrt non matched records and to update matched records with respect to primary key.
I have two uers in oracle. (TMP and REAL)
I have n number of tables with same definition in both users.
I will always merge all the tables into "REAL" from TMP uesr
Each and very table may contain more than 200000 records.
while merging some of the records got deleted from the REAL user which already available in REAL user.
i.e records available in TEMP.A is not available in REAL.A
if i re rerun the merge qry once again, the missing records inserted into REAL.A
how it happens? is ther is any bug with merge into stmt while processing huge amount of rows.
Sample Qry:
MERGE INTO REAL.med_stock_sales B

Hi
if i re rerun the merge qry once again, the missing records inserted into REAL.AThat's exactly what you would expect. Your SQL will insert into REAL.med_stock_sales any records that are in the TEMP table but not in the REAL table - assuming the primary key is (RETAIL_OUTLET_ID, MSS_ID). So if you delete records from REAL, they will keep being repopulated from TEMP - and matching records in REAL will be updated from TEMP
If you want to be able to delete records from REAL without this happening, you have a couple of options:
1) when you delete from REAL, also delete from TEMP (eg using a trigger). This is simplest.
2) when you delete from REAL, don't actually delete, just update a DELETED_YN flag
3) when you delete from REAL, add the primary key to a DELETED_STOCK table. Then change your merge to exclude "deleted" records
MERGE INTO REAL.med_stock_sales B
USING (
SELECT 1 AS RETAIL_OUTLET_ID,mss_id,MSS_ITEMCODE
   ,MSS_TRAN_DATE,MSS_TRAN_TYPE,MSS_REF_NO,MSS_TRANS_QTY,MSS_FREE_QTY

Performance problem with MERGE statement

Version : 11.1.0.7.0
I have an insert statement like following which is taking less than 2 secs to complete and inserts around 4000 rows:
INSERT INTO sch.tab1
          (c1,c2,c3)
SELECT c1,c2,c3
   FROM sch1.tab1@dblink
WHERE c1 IN (SELECT c1 FROM sch1.tab2@dblink);I wanted to change it to a MERGE statement just to avoid duplicate data. I changed it to following :
MERGE INTO sch.tab1 t1
USING (SELECT c1,c2,c3
   FROM sch1.tab1@dblink
WHERE c1 IN (SELECT c1 FROM sch1.tab2@dblink) t2
ON (t1.c1 = t2.c1)
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT (t1.c1,t1.c2,t1.c3)
VALUES (t2.c1,t2.c2,t2.c3);The MERGE statement is taking more than 2 mins (and I stopped the execution after that). I removed the WHERE clause subquery inside the subquery of the USING section and it executed in 1 sec.
If I execute the same select statement with the WHERE clause outside the MERGE statement, it takes just 1 sec to return the data.
Is there any known issue with MERGE statement while implementing using above scenario?

Are your join columns indexed?
Yes, the join columns are indexed.
You are doing a remote query inside the merge; remote queries can slow things down. Do you have to select all thr rows from the remote table? What if you copied them locally using a materialized view?Yes, I agree that remote queries will slow things down. But the same is not happening while select, insert and pl/sql. It happens only when we are using MERGE. I have to test what happens if we use a subquery refering to a local table or materialized view. Even if it works, I think there is still a problem with MERGE in case of remote subqueries (atleast till I test local queries). I wish some one can test similar scenarios so that we can know whether it is a genuine problem or some specific problem from my side.

BTW, I haven't had great luck with MERGE either :(. Last time I tried to use it I found it faster to use a loop with insert/update logic.
Edited by: riedelme on Jul 28, 2009 12:12 PM:) I used the same to overcome this situation. I think MERGE needs to be still improved functionally from Oracle side. I personally feel that it is one of the robust features to grace SQL or PL/SQL.

Problems with Merging Account

Hi Experts,
I have 2 problems with merging accounts:
1) Opportunity is not moved from source data to master data. I do not know why. Central BP is changable.
2) Contact Person is only copied, not moved. This causes problems later on when we want to delete the source data.
Any idea how to solve this?
Best regards,
Cristina

Hi Arno:
First of all: Thanks for answering my thread!
The problem with opportunities in my system is, that they are not merged at all, not even with the batch job. I checked trx. BUSWU02. Node CRM370 is assigned to variant CLEAR_REP.
Also the central Business Partner in opportunity remains changable, once the opportunity was saved.
Anything else I have to check??
Best regards,
Cristina

Problem with merge using package (row)variable

We're doing an ETL project, where we have to validate data coming from staging tables before inserting / updating them in our data tables.
We use a validate function for this, in which we 'test' our mappings and business logic, and returns 'OK' if no errors were occured.This function is called in the WHERE clause, and populates a package row variable. From this variable, values are read in the insert / update statement, using a get function.
The problem is that sometimes, with a data set with NO duplicate keys, we get an ORA-00001 error, and sometimes not.
Does anyone have any idea why this error could occur ? We're on Oracle 9.2.0.5.0.
For the demo mentioned below, the following statement fails , while it succeeds if we add 'and rownum < 11' to the where clause :
merge into target_tab t
using (select st.* from source_tab st where demo_pack.assign_var(st.attrib_1, st.attrib_2, st.attrib_3) = 'OK') s
on (t.attrib_1 = s.attrib_1 and
t.attrib_2 = s.attrib_2)
when matched then update
set t.attrib_3 = demo_pack.get_attrib('ATTRIB_3')
when not matched then
insert(attrib_1, attrib_2, attrib_3)
values (demo_pack.get_attrib('ATTRIB_1'), demo_pack.get_attrib('ATTRIB_2'), demo_pack.get_attrib('ATTRIB_3'));
Can anyone explain to me why this statement sometimes fails, and other times not ?
Thanks in advance .
demo tables / packages :
create table source_tab
attrib_1 varchar2(30),
attrib_2 varchar2(30),
attrib_3 varchar2(200)
create table target_tab
attrib_1 varchar2(30) not null,

It's not necessarily that the problem is within your package code. As long as UNIQUE constraint exists on DEST table, any MERGE statement may fail with ORA-00001 due to concurrent updates and inserts taking place.
Of course, it's just my guess but consider the following scenario (three sessions modify DEST table in parallel – and to keep this example clear, I put their commands in chronological order):
S#1> create table dest(x primary key, y) as
2   select rownum, rownum
3     from dual
4 connect by level <= 5;
Table created.
S#1> create table src(x, y) as

Problem with MERGE statement

Hi All,

ICloud not syncing and Contact problems with merging duplicates

I was having problems with the syncing of my notes app. When I got the iphone 5 I had since using Mountain Lion I had started to make use of the fact that the notes sync across iCloud. Great. Although not for long. Everything was going fine notes were syncing across devices but then spontaneously they stopped syncing for no apparent reason. I then went to look in settings, looked online and all through discussion forums. Switching notes on and off on icloud both on the macbook and on my iphone. Restarting devices etc etc. iCloud itself online was not able to access the notes app. I kept getting error messages that I would submit to apple. Then I finally relqinquished and unhooked the iCloud accounts from the computer and phone. And at the sacrifice of losing albums in my photostream they sprung back to syncing.
Then the real problem happened. I had selected to keep a copy of my address book in contacts when I unhooked my computer just in case. When everything linked back up again, I then had duplicates in my address book. Not 1 (this can happen just having icloud active) but 5 sets of duplicates, granted I had kept a version from when I unhooked. So I looked around again for how I could quickly and easily get rid of duplicates. Following suggestions online I go into contacts>cards>look for duplicates. I had 1200 or somthing duplicates, so naturally when given the option "would you like to merge the info in these duplicates I click yes. The MacBook starts to chugg away. Its gonna take a while. So I come back later. And before returning to CONTACTS, go to send a message from MESSAGES and I notice that 80% of the threads have no name. I go back to CONTACTS and WHAM 100s of contacts disappeared in the merge never to be retrieived again. You cant restore CONTACTS from Time Machine as it is just mirrors the contacts that you have in present time. Restoring phone doesn't work becasue it just downloads from iCloud after it has restored. TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. I am livid.

what I mean is - create a complete new contact on your contacts and select a picture for it from your Mac. Then set it as "make this my card"
Once you have done that - presumably it will sync with iCloud - have a look and the contact should appear on your iPhone too.
On your iPhone go on Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendar> Under "Contacts: in "My Info" select That new contact you created on your Mac.
Let me know if that works.
-On another note, so what you are saying is, if I take my 15' Macbook Pro in and they have none of the old ones in stock, they just give you a Retina display one! Did you take it to them for the contact issue you were having or something else?

UPDATE set m.edate=t.sdate where m.edate is null

VALUES (t.id

,t.edate);
When i execute this query i am getting ORA 00905 error. This is a simple query and is easily understandable. When data in two tables doesn't match i am trying to update based on a condition and insert. Can anyone help and tell me whats wrong and how to proceed further
Thanks,

Frnk, Thanks for your quick response but it doesn't solve my problem.
Here is my scenario. Can you tell me how this can be done..
create table temp
id int,
name varchar(10),
address varchar(10),
sdate date,
edate date
create table main
id int,
name varchar(10),
address varchar(10),
sdate date,
edate date
INSERT INTO temp
(id, name, address, sdate, edate)
VALUES
(1,'a','add1',sysdate, null);
INSERT INTO temp
(id, name, address, sdate, edate)
VALUES
(2,'b','add2',sysdate, null);
INSERT INTO main
(id, name, address, sdate, edate)
VALUES
(1,'a','add1',sysdate, null);
INSERT INTO temp
(id, name, address, sdate, edate)
VALUES
(2,'b','address change',sysdate, null);
Here we have a data change in both the temp and main tables. Value in the second row( Address field). In this case since the data doesnt match i now need to update the m.edate=t.sdate where m.edate is null and then insert a rew record in main table. Can you tell me how this can be done. I need to do this only if the two table datas doesnt match so i need this to be done in WHEN NOT MATCHED section right? or do you know how this can be done? If data doesnt match then i have to update the enddate in main table which is set to null with start date in temp table where all main.enddate is null and then insert a new record. Appreciate if you could tell me how to do this?

Problem with merging changes made in Business Catalyst

I put some text frames in my Muse project and now my client try to make some changes in text using Business Catalyst but we have big problem because it is impossible to merge changes back to the Muse project. The site is in Polish language but I also tried to do it with English. The result is different but also wrong.
As you can see bellow (screen1)I tried to change words "Adobe Muse" to "adobe muse" and "apps" to "application". Look at Preview on Page result. The newe phrase "adobe muse" is inside the word "videos" instead of following it. So we have: " ....and videoadobe museuse is....". But fortunatelly after clicking "Merge into Muse" everything is OK (screen2).
But when I use Polish language both results are wrong: Preview on Page and the result after merging (see screen 3 and 4)
So I can't work together with my client and it's a big problem because I choose Muse and Business Catalyst for this project just to have this possibility.
Some ides about reasons? I hope these problems are easily solvable.

Hi TheArtDictator,
The issue you're running into is similar to http://forums.adobe.com/message/6012076#6012076.
There isn't a fix yet. What we know is that HTML character entities (like ® or –) can somehow appear in content edited using In-Browser Editing. The Muse sync process doesn't expect/handle them correctly. What we don't know is what causes these entities to be inserted. To help us figure that out, could you find out:
- Which OS and browser (including versions) were used by the client?
- Did the client copy/paste content from external sources?
Thanks,
Abhishek

Trimming tool problems with merged clips

I'm trying to edit a filmstyle sequence with merged clips (created video and audio synched, then merged into new clips). This works fine, except when I try to trim edits in the sequence - the trim tool works, but the picture in the left and right trim windows jump to different parts of the clips being trimmed, and do not show the correct frames being trimmed. The trim tool works fine when used with unmerged clips, but somehow can't seem to work with the synched up clips
The footage being edited was shot on RED and is in pro rez 4:4:4 format.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is this a bug, or is there a way around this? Thanks for any pointers...

I created a new user account and trashed my preferences and I have the same problems. I created a new project, and new sequences. Same problems.
It only happens with 23.98 (batch reverse telecined using Cinema Tools) NTSC DV clips that have been merged with separate 24-bit 48 khz Quicktime audio clips (converted from BWF using BWF2XML). Clips that were captured from the tape with audio and video simultaneously don't have this problem. The discrepancies between the actual amounts trimmed and the white numbers in the trim windows are consistent. If it's off by 6:10 on a clip, every time I try to trim that clip it will be off by the same amount. But the number varies from clip to clip. It's generally 5-8 seconds.
If I try to trim only the audio, I don't have any trouble. If I trim the audio and video at the same time I don't have any trouble. It's only when I trim the video on its own. If I use the original video clip before it's merged with an audio track then it trims fine. If I cut the merged clip into a sequence then delete the audio track from the sequence the problem remains.

RoboHelp 9 - problem with merged TOC and index

Using RoboHelp v9.0.0.228 I have a master project which contains several merged TOCs and indexes for other CHMs. This has worked successfully for years, but has now stopped working in our translated CHMs. I have checked all the relevant settings and they appear to be correct. The English version still works correctly. Can you help please? Many thanks.

OK, so my post was just a summary really!
I have a main project with its own TOC, index and topics. I then have several other projects with their own TOCs, indexes and topics, and these are merged into the master TOC. In all these projects, we use the indexes to contain function ids for our software, so that when you press F1 in a software function, it invokes the correct Help topic in the CHM. The software is coded so that it goes to the main project first, and then looks in the merged index to find the link to the Help topic.
In the individual sub projects, the TOCs and indexes are present and work correctly. Also, in the master project, the TOC and index works correctly in the original English version. However, even though the TOCs, indexes and topics are all present and correct in the translated versions (Russian, for example) the index in the master project does not contain the entries for the sub projects. The TOCs for the sub projects do, however, work correctly.

Primary key failure with merge into...should not happen

I get primary key constraint fail on this MERGE INTO sql.
Why? Shouldn't the merge into take care of this?
ORA-00001: unique constraint (NCSL.SYS_C001568) violated
MERGE INTO SessionTbl2 thistbl

only_on_page,expire_tstamp,inactivity_timeout,
readonly)
VALUES
(:cacheidval,:varname,:variablevalue,:nowts,

:readonly)

As you say, this should not give a problem then, but the only way to be sure the system is doing what you believe it should do is to use the same variables in the test and in the insert statement. The bind variable depends on the programming language you use and may pass something else than the string that oracle generates in the select from dual. I do not say it will be as such, I just want to make sure that this is not the problem. I have seen things like this before and you keep on looking in the wrong direction for a solution.

Table cells - Problem with merged cells

Hi
I was experiencing very weird behavior with my tables until I realized that it was caused by merged cells
My script gives a dialog which allows the user to choose from which column to start and from which row.
As the script iterates through the cells in the selection I was getting weird results
Through using .select() function I was able to see that depending on the column, some times row 5 could be which seems to be row 3!
The reason was because of merged cells in that row
I.e., when some cells are merged together, only the first column of those merged cells is recognized - the others are not
so it comes out that when merging cells from column 3 to 5, column 3 has a cell in that row, columns 4 and 5 do not, and column 6 does!
Is there a way to get around this behavior?
Thanks
Davey

I don't understand the point of your post.
If you're trying to report a problem or "bug" with Pages, that is not the purpose of this user-to-user forum. You should leave feedback for the Pages team on this page.
I've not had a problem opening Word files with tables in Pages. If you're saying Word can't handle tables with merged cells, then don't use merged cells in files you are going to export as Word. Word & Pages must handle merged table cells differently, as I know both can do that. As far as RTF, Pages can open & export as RTF. Again, if you are going to export as RTF, don't use tables. Neither of these is a fault of Pages, just limitations of the formats/programs.

Facing Problem With Merge...

I Dnt know what's the problem in this code but my data is inserting for 4 times which is unexpected...
Can any1 plz say whats the mistake i have done in this...
MERGE INTO PAYMENT_DETAILS P1

[ReEdit: Having tested this, I think it works, but it should simply be{code}USING (select null from dual) P2

Try this (untested).
I notice most of your questions are not marked "answered". Please mark them answered if they are; this helps people see who still needs help.MERGE INTO PAYMENT_DETAILS P1

Problem with getting into iPhoto library after downloading an update for iPhoto. It is saying it is locked on a locked disk. how do we fix this?

Have an OS X 10.9.4 and having problems with iPhoto library after installing iPhoto version 9.5.1 This has locked the iPhoto Library on a locked disk. Any idea on how we unlock this disk?

First, if you've moved the iPhoto library to an external drive, make sure that drive is mounted by opening it in the Finder.
The issue can be caused by sharing the photo library on a network (against Apple's advice) or by opening it in more than one local user account at the same time. You may be able to clear the error by logging out or restarting the computer. If not, do as follows.
Quit iPhoto if it's running, locally or on any file-sharing client. Select the iPhoto Library in the Finder. Usually it's in the Pictures folder, but you may have moved it somewhere else. Right-click or control-click the library icon and select
Show Package Contents
from the popup menu. In the folder that opens, navigate to
Database/apdb/lockfile.pid
and move that file, if it exists, to the Trash. Close the Finder window.
