Thanks in adv.

Hi,
Check this.
SELECT e.empno, e.deptno, e.sal,e.rn
FROM (
     SELECT ROWNUM rn, a.empno, b. deptno, a.sal,
          ( SELECT COUNT(1) FROM scott.emp c, scott.dept d
                    WHERE c.deptno = d.deptno ) max_rn
FROM scott.emp a, scott.dept b
          WHERE a.deptno = b.deptno
     ) e
WHERE rn BETWEEN max_rn -6 AND max_rn
ORDER BY rn

How do I get last 15 rows from a select query

Hello,
I am writing a query, and I need to filter the last 15 rows of from the select query.
For example: Select id, name,join_date from emp order by join_date;
So I need to get the last 15 rows from emp table so that we can who are the last 15 employees joined the organization. I want to show the result in ascending order, otherwise I would have taken first 15 rows with order by clause as descinding order.
Thanks in advance,
Param.

Can you see the problem now ?
You can test this concept with your own table.

ORA-22905: cannot access rows from a non-nested table item in Table func

I am using a table function in Oracle 8.1.7.4.0. I did declare an object type and a collection type like this:
CREATE TYPE t_obj AS OBJECT ...
CREATE TYPE t_tab AS TABLE OF t_obj;
My table function returns t_tab and is called like this:
SELECT ... FROM TABLE (CAST (my_pkg.table_fnc AS t_tab)) ...
This works pretty well as long as I run it in the same schema that owns the function and the 2 types. As soon as I run this query from another schema, I get an ORA-22905: cannot access rows from a non-nested table item error, even though I granted execute on both the types and the function to the other user and I created public synonyms for all 3 objects.
As soon as I specify the schema name of t_tab in the cast, the query runs fine:
SELECT ... FROM TABLE (CAST (my_pkg.table_fnc AS owner.t_tab)) ...
I don't like to have a schema hard coded in a query, therefore I'd like to do this without the schema. Any ideas of how to get around this error?

Richard,
your 3 statements are correct. I'll go ahead and log a TAR.
Both DESCs return the same output when run as the other user. And, running the table function directly in SQL*Plus (SELECT my_pkg.table_fnc FROM dual;) also returns a result and no errors. The problem has to be in the CAST function.
Thanks for your help.

ORA-22905: cannot access rows from a non-nested table item

Hi All,
This is the overview of the query used in the package.
select ename,empno,sal,deptno from
(select deptno from dept) a,
(select ename,empno,sal from emp1) b
where empno in (select * from table (pkg1.fun1('empno')))
and a.deptno=b.deptno
union
select ename,empno,sal,deptno from
(select deptno from dept) c,
(select ename,empno,sal from emp2) d
where empno in (select * from table (pkg1.fun1('empno')))
and c.deptno=d.deptno
Here the pkg1.fun1 will convert the string ('empno') into table form. ('empno') is the input parameter to the package and is a string of emp numbers.
compilation is successful. when this is executed the below error pops up
"ORA-22905: cannot access rows from a non-nested table item"
Is there any problem with the table function which i am using in this query
could anyone guide me to the solution.
Thanks All

I have used
CREATE OR REPLACE
type tab_num as table of number;
select * from table (cast(pkg1.fun1('empno')) as tab_num))
This throws an error during compilation itself

How to pass data in clause in a better way

Why are you creating a duplicate post? I already asked you to post p_cd_common.get_table_from_string. In particular what is function return type and where it is declared. As I already mentioned, most likely function return type is declared in the package and therefore is PL/SQL type. And TABLE operator can only work with SQL types.

Dear Experts
I have an SP which gives error " cannot access rows from a non-nested table item ". But here the strange thing is, it works fine with one query. But I write union query with another table, only then it gives error.

Retrive last inserted record from database table

Hi,
some body inserting a record into table 'A' through some procedure/java program.i want to retrive the last inserted record from database table.records are not stored in order.Can any body help me.

In general, unless you are storing a timestamp as part of the row or you have some sort of auditing in place, Oracle has no idea what the "first" or "last" record in a table is. Nor does it track when a row was inserted.
- If you have the archived logs from the point in time when the row was inserted, you could use LogMiner to find the timestamp
- If the insert happened recently (i.e. within hours), you may be able to use flashback query to get the value
- If you're on 10g or later and the table was built with ROWDEPENDENCIES and the insert happened in the last few days and you can deal with a granularity of a few seconds and you don't need 100% accuracy, you could get the ORA_ROWSCN of the row and convert that to a timestamp.
If this is something you contemplate needing, you need to store the data in the row or set up some sort of auditing.

Delete a Row from a Nested Data Table

Need to fetch the last record/row from a table

Hi,
I have a requirement like fetching the closing balance of the last record of the table and inserting the same into the opening balance of the immediatetly created next record.
In simple words, I need to fetch a value from the last row of the record.
For example, I use the below query,
select rownum, empno, ename from emp
where rownum = (select count(rownum) from emp);
But, the above query does not return any of the record.
Hence, need help on this.
Regards,
Shivakumar A
Edited by: shiva on Mar 27, 2011 10:14 PM

Rows in a table are inherently unordered. In order to introduce the concept of "first" and "last", you would need to specify how to order the rows which would require that there was one or more columns in the table that you could order by in order to determine the "last" record.
In your closing balance example, if we assume that there is something like a BALANCE_DATE column,
SELECT account_number, balance_amount, balance_date
FROM (
    SELECT account_number,
           balance_amount,
           balance_date,
           rank() over (partition by account_number order by balance_date desc) rnk
      FROM table_of_balances )
WHERE rnk = 1Justin

(   SELECT a.deposit_date

(   SELECT MAX (a.deposit_date)

Also, you need to correlate the sub-query to the main query, so that it only looks for rows with the same ban.

UPDATE table2     b
SET     deposit_date     =
         (    SELECT MAX (a.deposit_date)
               FROM      table1           a
           WHERE      a.ban          = b.ban
           AND      a.deposit_date BETWEEN b.cy_start_date
                           AND     b.due_date
;Notice that table1 is the only table in the FROM clause of the sub-query, but the sub-query is correlated to table2, so we can reference columns from table2 in the sub-query.
Whenever you have a problem, post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for your sample data.
Also post the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data, with specific examples.
If you're asking about a DML statement, such as UPDATE, the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements should re-create the tables as they are before the DML, and the results will be the contents of the changed table(s) when everything is finished.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using.

Display columns as rows from non-unique key table

Hi OTN/Users, I hope you can assist me
Given a table:
create table t (a varchar2(30), b int, c date );
with this data within:
insert into t values ( a1, 40, to_date( '01-Dec-2012'));
insert into t values ( a1, 50, to_date( '01-Dec-2012'));
insert into t values ( a1, 60, to_date( '01-Dec-2012'));
insert into t values ( b1, 10, to_date( '01-Dec-2012'));
insert into t values ( b1, 20, to_date( '01-Dec-2012'));
insert into t values ( b1, 30, to_date( '01-Dec-2012'));
insert into t values ( c1, 60, to_date( '01-Dec-2012'));
insert into t values ( c1, 70, to_date( '01-Dec-2012'));
insert into t values ( c1, 80, to_date( '01-Dec-2012'));
- I want to output the columns for each of 'a' as a single row e.g:
a1 40 50 60 01-Dec-2012
b1 10 20 30 01-Dec-2012
I've almost got it right, but the 'a' col repeats 4 times for each row of output:
a1 40
a1 50
a1 60
a1 01-Dec-2012
-I want to supress repeat output of the first column 'a' but display the rest in a straight line.
I've tried various things (Pivot, Rollup etc), but the fact i'm keying on a table with non unique rows has complicated things perhaps.
Any help would be much appreciated

Hi,
Pre-11g this is how you would do it :[11.2] Pri @ Bepripd1 > !cat t.sql
with t(a,b,c) as (
     select 'a1', 40, to_date( '01-Dec-2012') from dual union all
     select 'a1', 50, to_date( '01-Dec-2012') from dual union all
     select 'a1', 60, to_date( '01-Dec-2012') from dual union all
     select 'b1', 10, to_date( '01-Dec-2012') from dual union all
     select 'b1', 20, to_date( '01-Dec-2012') from dual union all

ERROR:-22905:ORA-22905: cannot access rows from a non-nested table item

Hi. I have some code running on oracle 9i that gives me above error.
Following are my type declarations.
drop type_obj_tea_icore_glr;
drop type_tbl_tea_icore_glr;
create or replace type type_obj_tea_icore_glr as object (
ns_comp_id_parent number,
ns_comp_id_child number,
serv_item_id number,
glr_display_order number,
exchange_carrier_circuit_id varchar2(53)
show err
create or replace type type_tbl_tea_icore_glr as table of type_obj_tea_icore_glr;
show err
I have a function in an oracle package tea_icore_pkg with following signature.
FUNCTION sortpvcdesign (
p_document_number serv_req_si.document_number%TYPE,
p_pvc_serv_item_id serv_item.serv_item_id%TYPE,
p_orig_port_serv_item_id serv_item.serv_item_id%TYPE
RETURN type_tbl_tea_icore_glr
If I run following from SQL prompt, it works fine.
SELECT * FROM TABLE (tea_icore_pkg.sortpvcdesign(255082,2782636,2723752) );
But when I use that within another procedure of the same packge, as follows:
FOR glr_rec IN
(SELECT *
FROM TABLE
(CAST
(sortpvcdesign (c_pvcs.order_nbr,
c_pvcs.pvc_serv_item_id,
c_pvcs.orig_port_serv_item_id
) AS type_tbl_tea_icore_glr
LOOP
At the runtime, I got the above error message ( as referred to in subject ). I took all of the suggestions on CAST without much success. The user/schema is only one schema here. I mean, no permissions issue. I granted all on above types to public.
Can someone help?

Bil,
I tried both with CAST and without CAST with specifying the colums. The same error.
OR glr_rec IN
(SELECT ns_comp_id_parent, ns_comp_id_child, serv_item_id,
glr_display_order, exchange_carrier_circuit_id
FROM TABLE
(CAST
(sortpvcdesign (c_pvcs.order_nbr,
c_pvcs.pvc_serv_item_id,
c_pvcs.orig_port_serv_item_id
) AS type_tbl_tea_icore_glr
LOOP

MS SQL server 2008 - Bulk copy from XML to DB table throws bcp_init error

I have MS SQL server 2008 installed ,
Windows version - Windows 7 Professional with SP1
Doing a bulk copy process using the SQL library function bcp_init function in c++ throws xml error and its not inserting the data into the tables.
Error received ,
XML Datatransfer error: XML data or another error occurred while reading file 'd:\temp\scripts\dbtoolscripts\table_data.xml':
But this works in others machines with the same windows version and SQL version.

We are using the same SQL lib function bcp_init , we have written a separate class to load the ODBC32.dll , sqlncli.dll and use the bcp_init and other SQL functions from that. As i mentioned earlier we all use the same application build , but
its not working in my machine only other machines its working.
There is no provision to load XML files when you use the BCP interface in sqlncli.dll. You can of course load XML files, but the BCP API does not know that it is XML, it only sees a number of bytes.
So that error message is not coming from the BCP API, but somewhere else. Maybe your own code in reaction to some error from the BCP API. But without any clue of that error message, we can't help you.
I think you will need to do some debugging or by some other means improve your diagnostics.

Page having PL/SQL process and Automatic Row Process for 2 different tables

Hi,
I have a page containing 2 regions A & B.
Region-A content would be updated to table T1(PK : Ticket#).
Region-B content would be inserted into table T2(PK: Attachment# ; FK: Ticket#).
Region-B is used for uploading a file content into T2.
Since I cannot use 2 DML processes on the page for 2 different tables with a common column, so I have a PL/SQL process to update the record into T1 and an Automatic Row Process(DML) for inserting into T2.
Now the issue is in Region-B when I select a file using 'Browse' button and click on Upload button to fire the Automatic Row Process, the success message is displayed but the file is not uploaded into the table. But when I moved the entire Region-B and the Automatic Row Process to a different page and clicking Upload is working fine and inserting the record into the table along with the file content.
An item P10_TICKET_NUMBER with source type as Database column with source value as TICKET_NUMBER is used in Region-A.
I have gone through the forums and found some of the threads below
Re: 2 Automated Row Processes for one page?
Re: Error when trying to create 2 Forms on same page on 2 tables with ID as
where people facing similar issues but here I have followed the solution provided(with one PL/SQL process and other Automatic process) in the threads but still issue persists.
Can anyone throw some light on this please.
Thanks,
Raj.

Hi Teku,
You just have a look at this thread, where u can find a solution for your problem.
