SQL insert statement help please

alternative is to have the table with field dateadd with default value of getdate() - then do not include in your insert statement - then the modify date use and update - starting point - my two cetns

Hi all I'm trying to go a little out of my comfort level here and was hoping for some advice. I have a sql table that has 2 date fields. an add and a modified. If the modified date is null then I want to calculate on the date added. Otherwise I'd like to calculate on the modified date.
Here is a simplified version of what I'm trying to accomplish.
Hope it makes sense what I'm trying to do.
SQLSELECT field1,field2.... ,dateAdded , dateModifiedINTO tblOutputFROM tblInput/* some pseudo code here */WHERE (if dateModified not null then ( dateModified

SQL INSERT problem - help please

Hello,
I'm having a problem with INSERT statement.
There is a "ShowFinal.jsp" page, which is a list of candidates who selected from the second
interview. The user picked some candidates from the list and conduct the 3rd interview. After
he check suitable candidates(who are selected from the 3rd interview) from the list , enter
basic salary for every selected candidate, enter date of interview and finally submit the form.
These data should be save into these tables.
FinalSelect(nicNo,date)
EmpSalary(nicNo,basicSal)
In this "ShowFinal.jsp" page, it validates the following conditions using JavaScript.
1) If the user submit the form without checking at least one checkbox, then the system should be
display an alert message ("Please select at least one candidate").
2) If the user submit the form without entering the basic salary of that candidate which was
checked, then the system should be display an alert message ("Please enter basic salary").
These are working well. But my problem is how to wrote the "AddNewFinal.jsp" page to save these
data into the db.
Here is my code which I have wrote. But it points an error.
"AddNewFinal.jsp"
String interviewDate = request.getParameter("date");
String[] value = request.getParameterValues("ChkNicno");
String[] bs = request.getParameterValues("basicSal");
String sql ="INSERT INTO finalselect (nicNo,date) VALUES(?,?)";
String sql2 ="INSERT INTO EmpSalary (nicNo,basicSal) VALUES(?,?)";
for(int i=0; i < value.length; i++){
     String temp = value;
     for(int x=0; x < bs.length; x++){
          String basic = bs[x];
          pstmt2 = connection.prepareStatement(sql2);
          pstmt2.setString(1, temp);
          pstmt2.setString(2, basic);
          int RowCount1= pstmt2.executeUpdate();
     pstmt1 = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
     pstmt1.setString(1, temp);
     pstmt1.setString(2, interviewDate);
     int RowCount= pstmt1.executeUpdate();
Here is the code for "ShowFinal.jsp".

ValidateDate();">

Hi Casabianca ,
It is clearly that your problem is not on the database end, more like a servlet/jsp issue.
I will not comment on the javascript portion, but rather the 2 jsps.
a simple way to trace what's go wrong is to check the final result (the html code) of the first jsp (showFinal.jsp), and compare against what is expected by the 2nd jsp (AddNewFinal.jsp). Most browser do provide "view source" on the page visited.
the following code
<input type="checkbox" name="<%= "ChkNicno" + iCounter %>" value="<%=s.getNicno() %>">
<input type="text" name="<%= "basicSal" + iCounter %>"
would likely to be "translated" to html code something as follow:
<input type="checkbox" name=""ChkNicno0" value="nicNo>">
<input type="text" name="basicSal0">
the original code in "AddNewFinal.jsp" using
request.getParameterValues("ChkNicno");
which looking for a none exist http request parameter (sent as "ChkNicno0",etc but look for "ChkNicno"), which has explained before.
the second attempt to use String[] value = request.getParameterValues("ChkNicno" + iCounter); give Cannot resolove symbol :iCounter. because iCounter never defined in the 2nd jsp!
Most of the error message do give clue to cause of error... : )
not too sure on your intension, assume you wish to update only those selected (checked) row to db.
some suggestions:
1) <input type="text" name="ChkNicno" size="10"> </td>...
<input type="text" name="basicSal" size="10"> instead.
then use javascript to based on checked element index (refer to javascript spec for more details), for those index not checked, clear off the correspond index "basicSal" field value.
e.g. ChkNicno[1] is not checked, empty basicSal[1] value before submission.
This will give us only selected rows values.
2) retain the code
String[] value = request.getParameterValues("ChkNicno");
String[] bs = request.getParameterValues("basicSal");at 2nd jsp, as now the http request will pass parameters using "ChkNicno" and "basicSal".
3) some change to the code for optimization
for(int i=0; i < value.length; i++){
     String temp = value;
     for(int x=0; x < bs.length; x++){
          String basic = bs[x];
          pstmt2 = connection.prepareStatement(sql2);
          pstmt2.setString(1, temp);
          pstmt2.setString(2, basic);
          int RowCount1= pstmt2.executeUpdate();
     pstmt1 = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
     pstmt1.setString(1, temp);
     pstmt1.setString(2, interviewDate);
     int RowCount= pstmt1.executeUpdate();
to
pstmt1 = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
pstmt2 = connection.prepareStatement(sql2);
for(int i=0; i < value.length; i++){
     String temp = value;
     for(int x=0; x < bs.length; x++){
          String basic = bs[x];
          pstmt2.setString(1, temp);
          pstmt2.setString(2, basic);
          int RowCount1= pstmt2.executeUpdate();
     pstmt1.setString(1, temp);
     pstmt1.setString(2, interviewDate);
     int RowCount= pstmt1.executeUpdate();
preparestatement created once should be sufficient as we do not change the sql statement throughout the loop.
there are better solutions out there, this just some ideas and suggestions.Do try out if you wish.
Hope it helps. : )

Generate SQL Insert Statements

Hello,
I am testing generating insert statements for which I have a function which will return a sql statement.
This sql statement when I execute would results as sql insert statements.
What I am trying to acheive through a procedure is when I execute function, the result I would like to execute automatically and then the second sql I would like to store to a control file or sql file.
How can I acheive this?

Urgent help needed... PL/SQL Insert statement

Hi...
I need some urgent help on this project. I have a 2 column table with values that need to be inserted into another existing table which has a sequence.
This is the 2 column table:
FUND YEAR
29587 05
29587 07
Existing table:
Name Null? Type
LIST_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(6) -- This is a sequence
WEB_USER_ID NOT NULL VARCHAR2(10)
RESOURCE_TYPE NOT NULL VARCHAR2(8)
LIST_TYPE NOT NULL VARCHAR2(10)
LIST_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(50)
LIST_CODE_1 NOT NULL VARCHAR2(6) -- FUND from table above
LIST_CODE_2 NOT NULL VARCHAR2(6) -- YEAR from table above
LIST_CODE_3 NOT NULL VARCHAR2(6)
LAST_UPDATED_DT NOT NULL DATE
LAST_UPDATED_BY NOT NULL VARCHAR2(10)
LIST_CODE_4 NOT NULL VARCHAR2(20)
The columns from table 1 (FUND, YEAR) correspond to columns (LIST_CODE_1, LIST_CODE_2) in table 2. The column LIST_ID is a sequence. I can put in sysdate for LAST_UPDATED_DT and my initials SN for LAST_UPDATED_BY. This is going to be for 2 unique WEB_USER_IDs which would be in the WHERE clause. I will be inserting 2200 rows for each id. A single insert statement would look like this -
INSERT INTO EXISTING_TBL (list_id,web_user_id,resource_type,list_type,list_name,list_code_1,list_code_2,list_code_3,list_code_4,last_updated_dt,last_updated_by) VALUES ('470027','WEBUSER','GL','FUNDFYF',' FUND BALANCE SUM','12010','01',' ',' ',{ts '2010-5-19 10:16:9'},'SN')
How would I do this to insert the 2200 values from my 2 column table to the existing table?
All help is greatly appreciated!!

Hi
You can use the[b] jakarta POI api in order to read/write Excel file from java. Pure Java, no drivers nedeed.
I tested and ok.
Hope this helps

Improving SQL Insert statement syntax

It's about insert statement syntax, in insert statement, unlike in update statement column names and corresponding values are separated in two different sets. With this separation debugging/writing of insert statement is going to be time taking activity. To identify what value is getting stored in any column, first column position needs to be identified and after that by counting commas in the values list value is located. If functions are included in insert statement then counting of commas doesn't help to locate the value.
In any non trivial application column count in insert statement is going to be very big number and it is unmanageable.
If column name and value are written next to each other as it is done in cause of UPDATE statement, it is going to drastically reduce the debugging efforts and there by improves the productivity of the developers.
So I request SQL community please consider having a variant of insert statement in similar lines of update statement. This will simplify the life of millions of developers.
Edited by: user9110509 on Feb 6, 2010 10:19 AM

Hi,
That's a good idea! An optional alternate way of specifying the columns would be handy.
Perhaps the reason it hasn't been done yet is that most people, like those who have responded to this message, do not find the current syntax much of a problem. We can't be sure if your idea "is going to drastically reduce the debugging efforts" until it is available, but my guess is that it isn't.
One thing I do to make sure the two lists match is to indent the values directly below the column names, like this:
INSERT INTO emp (empno, ename,   hiredate,                job)
      VALUES (9876, 'OBAMA', TO_DATE ( '20-JAN-2009'
                          , 'DD-MON-YYYY), 'PRESIDENT');If the list is very long, or individual values are very complicated, then I might start with a list of the column names
INSERT INTO emp          -- Step 1: not ready to run yet
(     empno
,     ename
,     hiredate
,     job
VALUESthen use the editor's copy and paste commands to duplicate that list:
INSERT INTO emp          -- Step 2: not ready to run yet
(     empno
,     ename
,     hiredate
,     job
VALUES
(     empno
,     ename
,     hiredate
,     job
;and then fill in the VALUES section, leaving the copied names as comments:
INSERT INTO emp          -- Step 3: ready to run
(     empno
,     ename
,     hiredate
,     job
VALUES
(     9876               -- empno
,     'OBAMA'               -- ename
,     TO_DATE ( '20-JAN-2009'
          , 'DD-MON-YYYY
          )          -- hiredate
,     'PRESIDENT'          -- job
;

Sql insert statement will fail if the data value has empty line

Hi,
I notice if the insert statement in my .sql file contains data that has new line (enter key), the insert will fail.
For example:
insert into mytable (message)
values ('this is the first line
this is the second line that will cause insert statement to fail
so as this third line');
commit;
How to overcome this?
Please advise.
Thank you.

SQL select statement help

Say i have a table that has the following fields...
ID field1 field2 field3 field4 field5 field6 field7
1 1 2 E NW SW
n n
2 1 2 E NE SW
n n
3 1 3 W NE SE
n n
10,000 plus entries in this table: it is state quarter quarter data if it helps...
So i was handed a list on paper that has about 500 of these quarters from the above said table but there is no ID. I am having a someone build an excel spread
sheet in the fashion above but the only fields will be as follows
ID(NOT THE SAME AS ABOVE) field1 field2 field3 field4 field5
1
1 1 W NW NE
500 or so entries in this table
no field 6 or 7
how would i go about selecting all the fields from the top table that match exactly fields 1-5 in the excel sheet?
and no there are no duplicate entries in the top table.
thanks,

Is field6 and field7 nullable fields in yourtable?
If yes you can simply ignore them in your insert statements
If you're directly dumping the contents of excel to table then it would be like
INSERT YourTable (field1,field2,field3,field4,field5)
SELECT field1,field2,field3,field4,field5
FROM OPENROWSET(....) AS f
if you're populating a tsgaing table you can do like this
INSERT YourTable (field1,field2,field3,field4,field5)
SELECT field1,field2,field3,field4,field5
FROM StagingTable s

How to convert XML content into SQL INSERT statements

Hi all,
I'm very new to XML. Forgive me if I don't use technical XML terms. :-)
We are planning to convert SQL queries into XML format using a third party tool.
After that we have to read the XML files and use the tokens to insert into custom tables.
So, basically we have to create INSERT statements using the data stored in the XML file.
How do we go about reading / parsing the XML file in Java?
Pls help!
Regards,
Sam

This is the requirement with an example.
eg. if the following SQL query is fed into the 3rd party system,
select last_name,job_id,salary from employees a, deptno b
where a.deptno = b.deptno
the output would be,
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<sqlscript dbvendor="MSSQL">
<fullselectstmt nestlevel="0">
<subselectstmt><selectclause><fieldlist>
<field><fieldname>
<attr>
<sourcetoken toketype="" dbobjtype="field">last_name</sourcetoken>
</attr>
</fieldname>
</field>
<field><fieldname>
<attr>
<sourcetoken toketype="" dbobjtype="field">job_id</sourcetoken>
</attr>
</fieldname>
</field>
<field><fieldname>
<attr>
<sourcetoken toketype="" dbobjtype="field">salary</sourcetoken>
</attr>
</fieldname>
</field>
</fieldlist></selectclause>
<fromclause><joinlist><join nestlevel="0">
<lztable><simpletable><attr>
<sourcetoken toketype="" dbobjtype="table">employees</sourcetoken>
</attr><aliasclause withas="false"><sourcetoken toketype="" dbobjtype="table alias">a</sourcetoken></aliasclause></simpletable></lztable></join><join nestlevel="0">
<lztable><simpletable><attr>
<sourcetoken toketype="" dbobjtype="table">deptno</sourcetoken>
</attr><aliasclause withas="false"><sourcetoken toketype="" dbobjtype="table alias">b</sourcetoken></aliasclause></simpletable></lztable></join></joinlist></fromclause>
<whereclause><expression exprtype="Expr_Comparison" exproop="="><attr>
<sourcetoken toketype="" dbobjtype="table alias">a</sourcetoken>
<sourcetoken toketype="" dbobjtype="unknown">.</sourcetoken>
<sourcetoken toketype="" dbobjtype="field">deptno</sourcetoken>
</attr><attr>
<sourcetoken toketype="" dbobjtype="table alias">b</sourcetoken>
<sourcetoken toketype="" dbobjtype="unknown">.</sourcetoken>
<sourcetoken toketype="" dbobjtype="field">deptno</sourcetoken>
</attr></expression>
</whereclause></subselectstmt></fullselectstmt>
</sqlscript>
So, using the output file, the list of columns (under token "field") last_name,job_id and salary should be inserted into LIST_COLUMNS table. So 3 INSERT statements should be created for 3 columns.
The list of tables (under token "table") employees and dept should be inserted into LIST_TABLES table. So 2 INSERT statements should be created for the 2 tables.

SQL Insert Statement Data Type Mismatch Error

I am doing a very simple web application that has a Microsoft Access database as the data source. I have been able to sucessfully create update and query statements using parameters but am having issues with an insert statement. I am using JSTL 1.1.2
The following code creates the data type mismatch error.
<sql:update
     sql="insert into tblTtoF(TFToolID,TFFeatID) values(?,?)">
        <sql:param value='$(ID}'/>
     <sql:param value='${feature}'/>
        </sql:update>The table has NUMBER as the data type for both of these fields and the variables I am feeding into it are both numbers. If I hard code the first number into the sql statement then it works. I have tried swapping the variables around and as long as the first one is hard coded the parameter for the second one works no matter which is first or second.
However I can get the following code to work, which of course leaves me vulnerable to sql injection attacks which is not really a good thing.
<sql:update>
     insert into tblTtoF(TFToolID,TFFeatID) values('<c:out value="${ID}"/>','<c:out value="${feature}"/>')
        </sql:update>So I am just looking for any suggestions as to why my first piece of code doesn't work seeing as it is the simplest of SQL statements and the most standard syntax.
Thanks

I changed it to the following
     <c:set var="featurenew" value="${0 + feature}"/>
     <c:set var="IDnew" value="${0 + param.toolID}"/>
          <sql:update
          sql="insert into tblTtoF(TFToolID,TFFeatID) values(?,?)">

I have also tried the following in the past with no luck
<fmt:parseNumber value="${ID}" type="number" var="IDnew"/>
AND......
<sql:query
   sql="select TFToolID from tblTtoF where TFToolID = ?"
   var="toolresults">
   <sql:param value="${ID}"/>
</sql:query>
<c:forEach var="getID" items="${toolresults.rows}">
     <c:set var="theID" value="${getID.TFToolID}"/>
</c:forEach>
AND when that didn't work, added this....
<fmt:parseNumber value="${theID}" var="IDnew"/>

SQl Select Statement. Please help

Hi all,
Is this statement correct?Can anyone please give me the correct way of writing one.
String query = "SELECT EmployeeID, LastName, FirstName, EmailAddress, PhoneNumber from Employees where EmployeeID="<%=request.getParameter("ID")%>;
I also tried
String id = request.getParameter("ID");
String query = "SELECT EmployeeID, LastName, FirstName, EmailAddress, PhoneNumber from Employees where EmployeeID="<%=request.getParameter("ID")%>;
This also didn't work.
Thanx

Thanks for reply. Tried your reply. Got this exception.

Error Running SQL Insert Statement with & in it

Eclipse: 3.5 Galileo on Window Vista
OEPE: 11gR1 11.1.14
I get "invalid character" error when running this query in Eclipse:
INSERT INTO RECIPE (recipeId, name1, name2, recipeCategoryId) VALUES (2, 'Chunky Chicken Egg Rolls', 'No take–out joint can compare!', 1);
I've tried multiple ways trying to escape the & character, but nothing worked. What is the right way of executing SLQ via OEPE plugin that have special characters in them.
FYI, the following worked fine in Oracle 10g iSQL*Plus:
SET DEFINE ~;
INSERT INTO RECIPE (recipeId, name1, name2, recipeCategoryId) VALUES (2, 'Chunky Chicken Egg Rolls', 'No take–out joint can compare!', 1);
Thanks,
Dmitri.

Very interesting case. I tried your insert stmt and got the same error. I finally got it to work by removing the ";" in the end. It looks like the jdbc driver choked up while there is ";" in the middle of the pl/sql statement and ";" in the end. If you remove ";" in the "No take–out joint can compare!" string and leave the ";" in the end, it also works!
I don't quite understand why Oracle JDBC dirver behaves like that. I'll investigate it more and we may need to do some preprocessing on the pl/sql statement before sending it to the driver. At the mean time, just remove the ";" in the end if your string literal contains ";".
Please let me know whether this workaround works for you. Thanks!

Update Statement Help Please

I'm coming from the MS SQL world LOL
and Im trying to write an update statement but in Oracle there is no INNER JOIN.
Can you give me some advice on how to do this please?
UPDATE employee
SET employee.name = tmpuser.name
FROM employee
INNER JOIN tmpuser
on tmpuser.emp_id = employtee.emp_id
Thank you for you help.

Hi,
AJR wrote:
Frank,
But when we are using the where condition it should update records with the matching ids. right?What your query should do is entirely up to you; I can't answer any questions about that, only you can.
I have faced this issue earlier.
WHERE       tmpuser.emp_id = employee.emp_idCan you explain?Not out of context. Post a complete statement.
If this isn't directly related to user9170886's problem, then it's better to start your own thread.
I can say a few things about UPDATE statements in general:
The WHERE clause governs which rows will be UPDATEd. If there is no WHERE clause, all rows in the table will be UPDATEd.
So
UPDATE     employee
SET     employee_name = ( <subquery> )
;UPDATEs every row in employee, because the UPDATE statement does not have a WHERE clause. Nothing in the sub-query can change that.
A sub-query can reference values from its immediate parent, but a parent can't reference values from a sub-query (other than the values actually returned by the sub-query, of course).
So
UPDATE     employee
SET     employee_name = ( <subquery> )
WHERE     tmpuser.emp_id     = employee.emp_id
;causes an error, because there is no table called tmpuser in the main UPDATE statement. Nothing in the sub-query can change that.
