Sort by order rows were inserted

Hi,
How do I kow the rows order their were inserted in a table;
Thanks
HP

You can only retrieve rows in the order of insertion if you populate a column with a date or sequence value (or combination) and then use that column(s) in the ORDER BY clause. ROWID is not an indicator of insertion order.

Has`my row been inserted successfully ??

is there any way to know if my rows were inserted successfully or there was some error and some were inserted but some not ??

Hi Amoeba
First, pls check is ur status bar is displaying down the window of ur form run time by default if u have no errors then oracle displaying the informative message mentioned by Sarah notifing that n records has been saved.
If not then in ur form module property > Press f4 and check the console window property is NOT Null
u should state ur forms version; i will suppose that u have to check the width and height in ur formsweb.cfg larger than the width & height defined in ur forms window
u can also use Help > Display error option in ur forms runtime whatever ur forms version is.
Hope this helps,

Records returned in the same order how those were inserted?

Hi,
I have a table like this, but actual table contains around 13 million records.
group_id page_id page_no
1 1 1
1 2 2
1 3 1
2 4 1
2 5 2
2 6 3
2 7 4
2 8 1
3 9 1
3 10 2
In pl/sql procedure, I have defined two cursors. First cursor fetches all distinct group_ids'. Second cursor is parametric and I pass first cursor's group_id and select all the records where group_id = first cursor's group_id.
Here is my question. Does Oracle returns records to the second cursor in the same order how those were inserted into the table earlier. If this is not guaranteed then my functionality goes wrong. Urgent please. We are using Oracle 9i.
Thanks.

ADF Table sorting not working for newly inserted rows

Hi,
I am using Oracle Jdeveloper 11.1.1.6.2
I am trying to sort the table after inserting the mew rows using ADF Table UI sort option, But the newly inserted rows are not getting sorted.
The code i am using to add a row is:
        ComplianceLibraryAMImpl am = getDataControl();
        EmKeywordVOImpl rep = am.getEmKeywordVO1();
        NameValuePairs nvp = new NameValuePairs();
        nvp.setAttribute("KeywordName", keyword);
        Row row1 = rep.createAndInitRow(nvp);
        rep.insertRow(row1);After this addition we are doing ppr on the table and then trying to sort using sort icon in table.
But the newly added rows are not taking part in sort.
What am i missing?
Thanks,
Tripuresh

This is the expected behavior. Check bug 9109010 - newly added and unsaved rows don't participate in sorting as per design. Try saving the rows and then sorting.

Getting cache items in the order that they were inserted

Hi,
Is there a way to get the cache items in the order that they were inserted into the cache?
I tried the following but that does not work - the result is not in order of insertion...
NamedCache cache = CacheFactory.getCache("XXXX");
Set setKeys = cache.keySet();
debug("key size: " + setKeys.size());
Iterator keysIt = setKeys.iterator();
while (keysIt.hasNext())
Object object = (Object) keysIt.next();
debug("key: " +object);
debug ("----------------------------------------------\n\n\n");
Thanks

GHi G,
in general there is no way to do this with get/iterate calls.
Particularly because you can't define a time order in the cache as there is no shared timesource to relate to without relying on explicit cluster-wide locking which is not done in caches by default.

Ordering Rows in DB Adapter

Hi ,
We are using SOA suite 10g. In one ESB we have a DB Adapter which inserts into an interface table in oracle 10g database. (R12 EBS)
Database Adapter's operation type is 'Perform an Operation on a Table/Insert or Update(Merge)'.
XML payload has few rows.
After inserting into interface table order of these rows are wrong. Is there a way to order rows based on
a unique number before insertion. Each row has a unique ID number. Something Like (Order By...).
Is there any other way to solve this problem.
I created a File adapter and wrote the output to a txt file. Rows were in order in that File. Problem occurs only when inserting into the table.
Thank You,
sandaruwan.
Edited by: sandaruwan on Nov 10, 2010 8:53 AM

If you are inserting into an open interface table can't you use the insert, not the merge.
Not sure I understand the issue, as in the database you can sort as part of your select statement. It will be the database that will bring back the rows in a different order based on the default sort order, e.g. if you inserted the same rows manually through sqlplus you cannot guarantee the order without a order by.
Maybe if you could explain the issue you are facing to to the incorrect order?

Can I get iTunes to file ripped tracks in the exact order they were on the CD?

300 years ago, Bach wrote the Well Tempered Clavier "songs" to be played in a certain order. The geniuses at Apple offer lots of options for arranging the ripped tracks in every order except "List tracks in the order they were on the CD". Anyone have any ideas why Apple INSISTS upon destroying this carefully created order? iTunes CD imports are ripped in sequential order, why can't iTunes simply put them in the library in the order they are ripped? To omit this simple and obvious ordering is INCREDIBLY STUPID!! If the option to put CD tracks into the iTunes Library in the order they are ripped exists, but has been hidden by some genius, does anyone know how to find it? Why are programmers so obsessed with giving us "features" that they completely overlook the simple option of "Do not reorder the tracks at all", just store them in the library?
If iTunes is so stupidly designed that it is impossible to leave the order of tracks in the order they were on the CD ripped, is there any way I can reorder the tracks manually so that I can restore the tracks to the order Bach intended? The 3 ripped CDs are (no option) stored in individual folders. Is there a way to put all tracks in a single folder? Does Apple have any "suggestion box", or "bug reporting" input access? I wonder if they are following the modern trend (like Google), who allow no user feedback since they KNOW that THEIR geniuses produce only products that are already PERFECT when released. What colossal arrogance!

"The geniuses at Apple offer lots of options for arranging the ripped tracks in every order except "List tracks in the order they were on the CD". Anyone have any ideas why Apple INSISTS upon destroying this carefully created order?"
They don't. By default iTunes will import tracks and allow them to be viewed as albums in the "correct" order, assuming that the metadata elements used to control grouping into albums are correctly set.
"iTunes CD imports are ripped in sequential order, why can't iTunes simply put them in the library in the order they are ripped?"
Because "the order in which they are ripped" is not a well-defined concept. iTunes groups tracks into albums and orders discs/tracks within albums based on well-defined metadata elements. The issue that you may seeing is that much of the information that iTunes pulls from Gracenote to supply metadata for imported CDs is inconsistent or just plain wrong. Once the metadata is correctly specified, tracks will always be ordered correctly in the iTunes library (assuming sorting by album, disc # and track #).

How do I get iTunes to arrange movies (from a series) in the order they were released

Bottom line, we all download movies into iTunes and regardless of if you view them as a list or as cover art, they are always in alphabetical order. But when you have a series of movies (pick any of your favorites... Harry Potter, Twilight, Transformers, whatever.) as part of your collection, is there a way to get those movies to show in the order they were released?

You asked if there is a way to impose a more useful order, and there is, but it requires a little effort on your part. Doing so via the sort fields (in the iTunes Get Info window) means you keep the original display names but just influence the sort order. An alternative, but still effort, is to tell iTunes that a series of movies is a TV Show, and then use the Episode ID field to control order.
And no, local changes don't get mirrored to iCloud, so if you have a device that shows cloudly links to your purchases they will display with the original store metadata. In fact if you enable Show All Music and Show All Videos on your device the store metadata can sometimes be shown in preference to your edits even when you have the content in question loaded onto the device from your own library.
There aren't any features that would made the process easier. Use iTunes Feedback if you would like to suggest improvements.

Multi Row Madness: Insert?

Hey Guys,
I've been hitting my head against a cobbled wall trying to figure this one out.
I'm creating a form that needs to support versioning - so instead of ever using an update the form always inserts a copy of the data into the database with an incremented version number.
Frustratingly enough the form requires a dynamic amount of parts - best editting and represented but a tabular form. But MRU and MRD.... where is Multi-Row Insert?
I've tried everything i can to load the information and then change the version - but doing this will result in a ORA-20001: Error in MRU as the data in database is different and cannot "update" the row for old records (when i just want it to copy with a new version number).
The tables work with a header table that had id and version attributes making a combined pk, and the parts table with id and version which references the header table, and a parts_id to uniquely identify itself.
Is there any suggestions on this issue? I was thinking about adding an extra value and adding a trigger to do the inserting instead - but i fear this approach may change the information in the current version (i'm not that familiar with oracle databases... so prefer to try to find a solution in apex).
I'm using 2.2.
cheers,
Alex

But MRU and MRD.... where is Multi-Row Insert?
The MRU process does an update for existing rows and insert for new rows (that were added using the Add Row button)
I was thinking about adding an extra value and adding a trigger to do the inserting instead
Yes, a row-level trigger on the underlying table would be the best way to approach this problem. Let the APEX MRU and MRD processes do their job and your row-level trigger can keep inserting rows into a separate audit/history table with structure identical to the main table (plus sequence generated version number).
Something like
create table mytable_hist as select 'U' dml_action, 1 version_no,a.* from mytable a where 1=2;
create or replace trigger mytrig
after insert or update or delete on mytable
for each row
declare
l_action varchar2(1);
begin
if inserting then l_action := 'I';
elsif updating then l_action := 'U';
elsif deleting then l_action := 'D';
end if;
insert into mytable_hist
values
l_action,
version_no_seq.nextval,
nvl(:new.col1,:old.col1),
nvl(:new.col2,:old.col2),
nvl(:new.col3,:old.col3),
end;

Oracle insert problem(records not in the order they are inserted)

hi, all:
I tried to insert a word list into a oracle table, everything is fine except that the words are not in the order they are inserted. For example, the words are inserted in the following sequence:
accreted
accreting
accretion
accretionary
accretive
bladebone
bladed
bladeless
bladelike
When I retrived the resultset from the table and iterate through each of the record, the words are not in the order inserted, i.e., it may look like this,
accreted
accreting
bladebone
bladed
accretion
accretionary
accretive
bladeless
bladelike
This strange phenomenon won't happen when the word list is small, like 500 words or so, but when the number of words reaches around 10,000, it takes place. My coworker also experienced this problem when trying to insert large volume of data into oracle table.
The code I used to insert into the DB table:
BufferedReader reader=new BufferedReader(new FileReader("C:\\Dictionary.txt"));
while( (line=reader.readLine())!=null )
     sql="INSERT INTO DICT " +
     "VALUES ('" + line +"')";
     statement.executeUpdate(sql);
Any advice will be highly appreciated,
thanks

Well, the best thing to do is follows scsi-boy's advice and add the additional column and either put a sequence number in it from the Java side as you insert, or use an Oracle sequence object to put a sequence number in it from the Oracle side (which is sort of like an auto-generated value, but different).
Note that an Oracle sequence generates numbers in sequence, but possibly with gaps (usually if the database is rebooted), unless you do some things that slow sequences down substantially. Sequences can also be something of a bottleneck on RAC clusters. See:
http://www.dizwell.com/oracle/articles/autonumbering.html
However, if your coworker is commiting after each and every insert (which is bad form and slows the database down, -10 points), and if your coworker is also never ever ever updating the columns after they've been inserted, and if your coworker is using Oracle 10g and not some older version such as 9i, then your coworker could use the ORA_ROWSCN pseudo-column to order by. Those are very very severe constraints and you shouldn't begin to consider doing it that way without a very good reason, and right now you and your coworker wouldn't know a good reason if it snuck up and bit you on the butt, you've got a lot of learning the basics first.

Replace default table sort with order by on the view object

The Jdeveloper help for af:table says:
If the underlying model is not a CollectionModel , the Table automatically examines the actual data to determine which properties are sortable. Any column that has data that implements java.lang.Comparable is sortable. This automatic support cannot be nearly as efficient as coding sorting directly into a CollectionModel (for instance, by translating the sort into an "ORDER BY" SQL clause), but is sufficient for small data sets.
I have a database table with varchar2 columns that can contain string, date or number values. So in the af:table I want to sort the columns either in string, date or number order.
I tried creating a sort listener and in that listener set the view object order by clause and execute the query, but it does not affect the row order - it is always sorted as a string. I assume that the collection is doing its sort after I do the query, and overwriting the query order. I have tried disabling the sort in the listener by setting the sortcriteria to null but it has no effect.
Can anyone suggest how to stop the default sort re-ordering the rows, or else how to code sorting directly into the CollectionModel as suggested in the help.
Hugh Nelson

By running in debug I discovered that when you click on a column heading to sort by the column values it actually sets the order by clause on the view object and executes a query. The help says that the default sorting is not as efficient as setting the order by clause - perhaps the help is out of date because default sorting does set the order by clause.
This means that you cannot do a column sort on a transient attribute. The attribute being sorted on must exist in the table/query.
The easiest solution is to override the setOrderByClause method on the view object. The string parameter is the column to order by eg "COLUMNA". If this column holds date values I can change it to something like "TO_CHAR(TO_DATE(COLUMNA,'DD-MON-YYYY'),'YYYYMMDD')". For numbers I do "LPAD(COLUMNA,10,'0')".
This works OK.

How do I get iTunes to organize albums in the order they were released

iTunes displays the albums in the order of the tile. It should display the albums in the order they were released how are you supposed to do this I've played with sort order and it makes no difference. This seems pretty basic way of organizing an artists music has Apple lost their collective mind with this release of Itunes?

Why does it absolutely have to display albums by the order they were released? It can do what the programers want it to do.
You can sort by album, but then by multiple clicks on the album column header you can get album by artist and album by year.

How do I sort only selected rows?

Hi, in Maverick, the option to sort only selected rows seems to be gone anyone out there who knows how to do this? Cheers Paull

Hi SG,
Firstly, I wasn't saying that Wayne's posts were rubbish, I said his comment about V2 not having sorts by rows was rubbish as I proved with my image. I am just really frustrated professional person who has been signing Apples and Numbers praises that has been left feeling really let down.
Personally, I do not wan't an OSX version Numbers to be the same as the IOS version. My old IOS version was perfectly adequate as was my OSX vesrion. I'm not interested in doing this on my phone or iPad BUT when I am at work on my 27" iMac, I don't want to use a piece of software that is written to be more compatible with a mobile device so I couldnt care if the IOS version has a Reorganize panel.
I'm saying that they (Apple) shouldn't dress this up as V3 of numbers. They should call it
NUMBERS LITE COMPATIBLE WITH IOS DEVICES
Which is really what it is, and then most of us who require a serious spreadsheet, wouldn't have bothered downloading it and wasted hours only to find out that it is not fit for purpose.
The problem I have is that there will no longer be any improvements to V2 so this is now what we are stuck with with the only alternative being to return to Excel, which I hate with a vengence.
Also, we are stuck with this version if we want to use sheets we create in OSX in our ipads. Once again, not even close to being acceptable.
All in all, not what I expect from Apple, or is this just the type of thing we have to expect from them now.

Is there a way to know how many rows were rejected using external tables?

Hi,
I'm developing a package that needs to load different kinds of text files into the DB.
I was wondering whether there's a way of knowing in SQL or PL/SQL how many rows were rejected if my external table is defined with "reject limit unlimited".
I'm using the external tables in "insert into ... (select ... from external_table where...)"
sql%rowcount returns the number of inserted rows
I was hoping for something similar/easy to get the number of rejected rows as well.
I know I can try to analyze the bad file for the number of records if there's no other way...
Thanks in advance.

I was afraid of this answer...
this is a certain "no there's no other way" or should i wait for other responses (no disrespect - just want to make sure :) )Well the difference would be that this external table will have no complex logic. You would simple read in all the lines from the bad file. The chances that this is broken are therefore very slim compared with your original external table.
And tehre are many other ways possible. For example you can first copy the file into a real internal (temp) table without using any processing logic but with using an external table. Then do the processing / logic checking of the data and move the data from this temp table into your final data structure. Since you move the data two times the whole process will be slower then the original version.
