SQL Help (Insert and Update)
I need to use a SQL command like MERGE that is in 9i; however, I am using 8.1.7 which MERGE does not exist. I want to update table "U" with a value if the key columns match with the key columns in table "E". If they do not match, I want to insert a row into table "U". How would the SQL statement be written??
The short answer is: use 2 SQL statements.
I've used the 2-statement approach many times. Its funny that I've waited, and waited for the MERGE command for years. Now that its available in 9i, I haven't had an opportunity to use it. However, considering how complicated the "upsert" operation can get, I'd bet that the MERGE command is pretty complicated...
First off, to save yourself headaches make sure you take care of duplicates in your source table (table E in Douglas' question).
Now, the 2-SQL's would look something like this:
update u
set (u.col1,
u.col2) =
(select e.col1,
e.col2
from e
where e.pk = u.pk)
where exists
(select 1
from e e2 /* notice alias e2 used for table e */
where e2.pk = u.pk)
insert into u
(pk, col1, col2)
select e.pk,
e.col1,
e.col2
from e
where not exists
(select 1
from u u2 /* notice alias u2 used for table u */
where u2.pk = e.pk)
--There are many variations on this scheme. One is to have a "status" column in the source table. When there are a small number of updates (or a small number of inserts), you can identify them and set a "status flag". Then take care of the small number of transactions (based on the flag). Now, you can delete the small number of rows and run a much simpler SQL for the majority of the rows.
Also, you may find it easier to use PL/SQL (as APC was mentioning). However, using the PL/SQL approach gets slower the more rows that are processed. An example might look something like:
begin
for c in (select * from e)
loop
update u
set col1 = c.col1,
col2 = c.col2
where e.pk = c.pk ;
if sql%rowcount = 0
then
insert into u
(pk, col1, col2) values (c.pk, c.col1, c.col2) ;
end if ;
end loop ;
commit ;
end ;
/Avoid this PL/SQL method if you have more than 10,000 rows. This "looping" approach can be optimized with "bulk-PL/SQL" available in Oracle 8i.
Typically, this PL/SQL approach is used when major non-SQL calculations must be done during the loading process...

Can we use both INSERT and UPDATE at the same time in JDBC Receiver
Hi All,
I would like to know is it possible to use both INSERT and UPDATE at the same time in one interface because I have a requirement in which I have to perform both the task.
user send the file which contains both new and old record and I need to save those in MS SQL database.
If the record exist then use UPDATE otherwise use INSERT.
I looked on sdn but didn't find any blog which perform both the things at the same time.
Interface Requirement
FILE -
> PI -
> JDBC(INSERT & UPDATE)
I am thinking to use JDBC Lookup but not sure if it good to use for bulk record.
Can somebody please suggest me something or send me the link of any blog or anything to solve this problem.
Thanks,Hi ,
If I have understood properly the scenario properly,you are not performing insert and update together. As you posted
"If the record exist then use UPDATE otherwise use INSERT."
Thus you are performing either an insert or an update which depends on outcome of a search if the records already exist in database or not. Obviously to search the tables you need " select * from ... where ...." query. If your query returns some results you proceed with update since this means there are some old records already in database. If your query returns no rows you proceed with "insert into tablename....." since there are no old records present in database.
Now perhaps the best method to do the searching, taking a decision to insert or update, and finally insert or update operation is to be done by a stored procedure in MS SQL database. A stored procedure is a subroutine available to applications accessing a relational database system. Here the application is PI server. If you need further help on how to write and call stored procedure in MS SQL you can look into these links
http://www.daniweb.com/web-development/databases/ms-sql/threads/146829
http://www.sqlteam.com/article/stored-procedures-parameters-inserts-and-updates
[ This part you can ignore, Since its not sure that you will face this situation
Still you might face some problems while your scenario runs. Lets consider this scenario, after the stored procedure searches the database it found no rows. Thus you proceed with an insert operation. If your database table is being accessed by multiple applications (or users) other than yours then it is very well possible that after the search operation completed with a null result, an insert/update operation has been performed by some other application with the same primary key. Now when you are trying to insert another row with same primary key you get an error message like "duplicate entry not possible for same primary key value". Thus you need to be careful in this respect. MS SQL has a feature called "exclusive locks ". Look into these links for more details on the subject
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa213039(v=sql.80).aspx

http://www.mollerus.net/tom/blog/2008/03/using_mssqls_nolock_for_faster_queries.html
There must be other methods to avoid this problem. But the point is you need to be sure that all access to database for insert/update operations are isolated.

Execution results (Merged instead of inserted and updated)
I am doing UPDATE/INSERT on the target table. But in the execution results it just gives the rows inserted or updated combined in the merged column.
Is there a way to get inserted and updated in appropriate columns.I have not tried this recently - but I know the MERGE statement wasn't introduced until Oracle 9i. If you CONFIGURE the oracle module the map is in, and change the PL/SQL generation mode from "Default" to "Oracle 8i", I think it'll change the SQL to use INSERTS and UPDATES instead of the MERGE, which should give you what you want.
Warning though - this will change EVERY map in that module, and recompile using less efficient SQL. You might create a module just for the one map and set the generation mode for it, so that all the maps won't become less efficient.
Then again, the easier way is probably to simply have both an UPDATE_DATE and CREATE_DATE on your target table...if they are the same it was an INSERT, if different it was an UPDATE.
Hope this helps,

Kindly Regards...You might be better off combining into your attack the use of user_dependencies. This will tell you what objects e.g., code is dependent on your table and then you can search the source of those modules for inserts and updates into the table. Even then you'll never be sure, especially if dynamic SQL is used as the statement may be pieced together from various bits if strings, as then user_dependencies won't contain the reference.

Not Properly Insert and Update in ODI interfaces
Dear Brothers,
The records are not inserting and updating even the CDC captured in the journal in one of my package. But, stopped and execute again then there is inserts and updates. I am not able to understand where the problem is. Can u suggest regarding the issue.Dear Bro,
I am capturing CDC using consistent set. I am using (LKM SQL to DB2 UDB). While executing the package, the records are locked and extend window, but there is no inserts and updates into the database. It is throwing error as row index out of range while running the query. The query is running in Source Stage for ex. RTO_STAGE.JV$NUMGEN. query is triggering but records are not properly inserted and updated in the target.
First time i saw in the CDC table, there was some 10 records available while executing no insert and update. Then, i stopped it and execute it again at that time i checked in the CDC table ie., the same table, but there was only 2 records available in CDC the old records were disappeared.
I dont know the exact issue? My colleague is telling may be SNP tables not refreshing. Kindly suggest any solution. -

Whether the table gets looked or sholud i use some other trigger or loops ?
someone suggest me how to edit this query for multiple update.
Thanks
sat33I called a procedure in in-insert and on-updateWhy are you writing this code in the first place? If you have a block based on an updatable view, just let Forms do the inserts and updates.
If it's not an updatable view, use instead of triggers on the view.

"reproc: Insert and Update failed on" replicated table
Hello, I've published a new publication item on an Oracle Lite Server (9i and mobile server 5.0.2.10).
After inserting records on the server replicated table (Table1), when I try to sync some devices, I have the following error message on the client PDA "reproc Insert and Update failed on " Table1.
If I empty the server table's records, then the client PDA syncs OK.
Can someone refresh me with the cause of this error ?
Thank's in advance.

OlivierHi,
This is my actual requirement.
During the updates i.e update process and delete process, if the filed status is changed to 'O', '0' or ' ' in SAP, then those records in Oracle should be deleted.
if the field status is changed to other than 'O', '0', or ' ' SAP, then those records needs to be updated with the remaining information
How do XI Know that these fields are changed in the SAP table to perform delete ,is some notification required when there is change in SAP Table through proxy ? -

Help me in creating a Trigger for Insert and Update Options
Hi
Please help me in creating a Trigger .
My requirement is that after insert or update on a Table , i want to fire an event .
I have started this way ,but doesn't know how to fully implement this .
say i have a dept table
CREATE TRIGGER DepartmentTrigger
AFTER INSERT ON Dept
BEGIN
INSERT INTO mytable VALUES("123","Kiran");
END DepartmentTrigger;
Please tell me how can i put the Update option also .
Thanks in advance .Please tell me how can i put the Update option also .Add "Or Update". ;-)
Here are a few suggestions, but you definitely need to refer to the manual page that the previous poster suggested.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER DepartmentTrigger
AFTER INSERT Or Update ON Dept
BEGIN
INSERT INTO mytable VALUES(:new.Dept,'DEPT ADDED OR CHANGED');
END DepartmentTrigger;
The "Or Replace" means you can replace the trigger while you're developing without having to type in a drop statement every time. Just change and rerun your script, over and over until you get it right.
Adding "Or Update" or "Or Delete" makes the trigger fire for those events too. Note, you may want seperate triggers in different scripts and with different names for each event. You have to decide if your design really does the same thing whether it's an insert or an update.
:new.Dept is how you would refer to the changed vale of the Dept column (:old.Dept is the prior value). I changed the double quotes on the string in the VALUES clause to single quotes.
