Is there a need to use dynamic sql here?
at the very least, try using bind variables instead of concatenating values like that.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'insert into your_table (column_list) values (:val1, :val2, ...)'
USING l_val1, l_val2, l_val3 ... ;

Your PL/SQL seems reasonable.
My suspicion would be that the oracle.sql.ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor class only supports persistent collection types, i.e. those declared at the schema level with CREATE TYPE.

How to insert column values into database as rows

Hi,
I have 8 columns and some not null columns. Based on not null columns I want to insert into table as rows. The 8 columns may contain values or no value. If the first column contains data, then I have to insert into one row. if the second column contains data I have to insert a row and in second column. respectively...So How can I insert column values into rows. Can I write 8 insert statements. (OR) is it possible to insert data from columns using where clause.
Please help me out....
Thanks in Advance

How to insert a value into a field of binary type?

I've been using Oracle for a while now but never dealt with BLOB
or long raw type before. Does anyone here know how to insert a
record into a field of either blob or long raw type?
Any suggestions would be very appreicated.
Thanks.

pls used the loadfromfile procedure which is in the DBMS_LOB
package to insert the data from external os file into blob data
type column.

How to insert parameter value into multiple columns and rows

Hi All,
I have one procedure insert_tab and I am passing

How to insert a value into a table

I have an ordering system. It displays all the orders by
customer ID. If an order is complete, a check number is entered for
the corresponding line item, otherwise it is left blank.
My code uses the following code to display the form. All are
display fields only, except for the last one, where the check
number can be entered.
<cfoutput query="qryDetail" group="partNumber">
<tr>
<td valign="top" class="TitleText"
align="center">#lineItem#</td>
<td valign="top" class="TitleText"
align="center">#OrderNumber#</td>
<td valign="top" class="TitleText"
align="center">#partNumber#</td>
<td valign="top" class="TitleText"
align="center">#dollarformat(qryDetail.unitValue)#</td>
<td valign="top" class="TitleText" align="center">
<cfinput type="text" name="checkNumber#keyID#">
<input type="hidden" name="keyID"
value="#qryDetail.keyID#">
</td>
I use something like the following to update the table with
the check numbers entered.
<cfloop index="KeyID" list="#form.KeyID#"
delimiters=",">
<cfquery name="qryUpdate" datasource="dbName">
update tblChecks
set checkNumber = '#Evaluate("form.checkNumber#KeyID#")#'
where custID = '#form.custID#'
and KeyID = '#KeyID#'
</cfquery>
</cfloop>
Now we have another table that will contain the customer
order history. If the check number was entered for a particular
line item, I need to insert that line item nubmer into this table,
along with some other columns. I tried to use the same loop, then
other loops, but cannot seem to get this to work. Seems simple
enough, but I obvisouly am missing something.
How would I insert the line item number (only if a check
number was entered for that line item) into the table ?

Here is the code with the queries commented out :
<cfloop list="#form.fieldnames#" index="field">
<cfif left(field, 11) is "checkNumber" AND
len(trim(form[field]))>
<cfset keyID = listlast(field, '_')>
<cfset lineItem = listgetat(field, 2, '_')>
<cfset checknum = form[field]>

<cfoutput> loop is
field: #field# 
checknum: #checknum# 
lineitem: #lineitem# 
keyID: #keyID# 
</cfoutput>
<cfelse>
<cfoutput>Else is
field: #field# 
form[field]: #form[field]# 
len: #len(trim(form[field]))# 
</cfoutput><cfabort>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
This is the output. If I do not put in cfabort, the code just
drops thru and I never see any output display, so I use cfabort to
stop so I can see the output.
loop is field: CHECKNUMBER_11_218
CHECKNum: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
lineitem: 11
keyID: 218
Else is field: CHECKNUMBER_1_24
form[field]:
I entered the x's into checknum for line item 11, so that is
correct.
I then took out the comments from the update query and tried
it again and it updated for line item 11 (you were right, I had to
take out the single quotes in the query). I then removed the
commets for the insert query and it did not insert. I tried the
whole thing again and tried to add to line item 10 and it dropped
straight to the else part, displaying :
Else is field: CHECKNUMBER_1_24
form[field]:
len: 0
So it seems the if statement if failing the second time thru
the loop :
<cfif left(field, 11) is "checkNumber" AND
len(trim(form[field]))>
This is my input statement :
<cfinput type="text"
name="checkNumber_#lineItem#_#keyID#">
I am really confused now. It seems to work the first time
thru the loop, then the second time it fails.

How to insert date value into oracle?

hi,
iam reading date from xml using vb.net and inserting it into oracle table.
the date value in xml file is in the format of "01012003".
i want to insert into oracle table.but iam getting an error "ORA-1843: not a valid month".
how to solve this problem.
Any suggestions or examples...

That's not a date. It's just a string. Convert it to a date using,
DateTime d = DateTime.ParseExact("01022003", "MMddyyyy", null);
or
Dim d As DateTime = DateTime.ParseExact("01022003", "MMddyyyy", Nothing)
and then bind it to a parameter. ODP.NET will take it from there.
You should never be hard-coding the date literal into your SQL query.

How to insert new value into an array

I have an already declared array (including the size) and want to write a method for inserting a new value. Do I have to re-declare the array to the new size? ie old size + 1, then add the new value or is there a java method for this. I can't find one.
Thanks in advance....
Mike

Hi,
there is no method for that. Look up class Vector. That class implements automatic growing of the Vector.

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio: Creating a Database and a dbo Table. Inserting VALUES into the table. How to insert 8 Values for future use in XQuery?

Hi all,
In my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012), I tried to create a Database (MacLochainnsDB) and a dbo Table (marvel). then I wanted insert 8 VALUES into the Table by using the following code:
USE master
IF EXISTS
(SELECT 1
FROM sys.databases
WHERE name = 'MacLochlainnsDB')
DROP DATABASE MacLochlainnsDB
GO
CREATE DATABASE MacLochlainnsDB
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[marvel] (
[avenger_name] [char] (30) NULL)
INSERT INTO marvel
(avenger_name)
VALUES
('Hulk', 1),
('Iron Man', 2),
('Black Widow', 3),
('Thor', 4),
('Captain America', 5),
('Hawkeye', 6),
('Winter Soldier', 7),
('Iron Patriot', 8)
I got the following error Message:
Msg 110, Level 15, State 1, Line 5
There are fewer columns in the INSERT statement than values specified in the VALUES clause. The number of values in the VALUES clause must match the number of columns specified in the INSERT statement.
How can I correct this problem?
Please kindly help and advise.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang
P. S.
The reason I tried to create the Database, dbo Table, and then to insert the VALUES is to learn the following thing:
You can query the entire node tree with the following xquery statement because it looks for the occurrence of any node with the /* search string:
DECLARE @x xml;
SET @x = N'<marvel>
<avenger_name>Captain America</avenger_name>
</marvel>';
SELECT @x.query('/*');
You can query the avenger_name elements from the marvel_xml table with the following syntax:
SELECT xml_table.query('/marvel/avenger_name')
FROM marvel_xml;
It returns the following set of avenger_name elements:
<avenger_name>Hulk</avenger_name>
<avenger_name>Iron Man</avenger_name>
<avenger_name>Black Widow</avenger_name>
<avenger_name>Thor</avenger_name>
<avenger_name>Captain America</avenger_name>
<avenger_name>Hawkeye</avenger_name>
<avenger_name>Winter Soldier</avenger_name>
<avenger_name>Iron Patriot</avenger_name>
You can query the fourth avenger_name element from the marvel_xml table with the following xquery statement:
SELECT xml_table.query('/marvel[4]/avenger_name')
FROM marvel_xml;
It returns the following avenger_name element:
<avenger_name>Thor</avenger_name>

Hi Scott,
The master database records all the system-level information for a SQL Server system, so best practise would be not to create any user-defined
object within it.
To change your default database(master by default) of your login to another, follow the next steps so that next time when connected you don't have to use "USE dbname" to switch database.
Open SQL Server Management Studio
--> Go to Object explorer(the left panel by default layout)
--> Extend "Security"
--> Extend "Logins"
--> Right click on your login, click "propertites"
--> Choose the "Default database" at the bottom of the pop-up window.
--or simply by T-SQL
Exec sp_defaultdb @loginame='yourLogin', @defdb='youDB'
Regarding your question, you can reference the below.
SELECT * FROM master.sys.all_objects where name ='Marvel'
--OR
SELECT OBJECT_ID('master.dbo.Marvel') --if non empty result returns, the object exists
--usually the OBJECT_ID is used if a if statement as below
IF OBJECT_ID('master.dbo.Marvel') IS NOT NULL
PRINT ('TABLE EXISTS') --Or some other logic
What is the sys.all_objects? See
here.
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

When you do this, there is no fundamental difference between "08:00:00" and "here's your sign".
Data should always be stored in the correct data type. For dates and times, that data type is either DATE or TIMESTAMP. Period.
in this format: 08:00:00
now i have to insert this value in timestamp column in table. how to insert this value in timestamp column?
Hopefully as remediation to the original bad design.

How to insert images in a table

Hi all,
Iam working On Oracle10g
can any one explain how to insert images in a table.
Any help will be much appreciated!!
Thanks.

Hi,
Try like this
step1: Create a folder & place the image in it.
for eg: place the image 'Sunset.jpg' in 'IMAGEFILE' folder of D drive
Step2: Create a Directory in sql*plus as
CREATE DIRECTORY IMAGEDIR AS 'D:\IMAGEFILE';
Step3: Grant previlage to user
GRANT READ ON DIRECTORY IMAGEDIR TO PUBLIC;
Step4: Create the table in which you want to insert the image
create table loadalbum
(name varchar2(100),
image blob)
Step5: Create the procedure as
declare
l_blob blob;
l_bfile bfile;
begin
insert into loadalbum values ( 'Sunset', EMPTY_BLOB() )
returning image into l_blob;
l_bfile := bfilename( 'IMAGEDIR', 'Sunset.jpg');
dbms_lob.fileopen( l_bfile );
dbms_lob.loadfromfile( l_blob, l_bfile, dbms_lob.getlength( l_bfile ) );
dbms_lob.fileclose( l_bfile );
end;
Now you can know whether the image is inserted or not by
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM LOADALBUM;
COUNT(*)
1
which means image is inserted.
Hope this may help you.
