Trigger with sequence question

figured it out
Edited by: Jay on Apr 24, 2012 9:49 AM

If we believe that your BEFORE INSERT trigger compiles successfully (it will not if your CREATE SEQUENCE DDL is actually using case-sensitive identifiers)
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER user_UPDATE
  AFTER UPDATE ON table1
  FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
  INSERT INTO table2
    change_id,
    change_date
    user,
    address,
    phone
  VALUES
    SEQ_user_update.NEXTVAL,
    sysdate
    :new.user,
    :new.address,
    :new.phone
END;If we believe that the CREATE SEQUENCE DDL statement you posted is correct and that your BEFORE INSERT trigger does not compile then you'd need to put double-quotes around the sequence name
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER user_UPDATE
  AFTER UPDATE ON table1
  FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
  INSERT INTO table2
    change_id,
    change_date
    user,
    address,
    phone
  VALUES
    "SEQ_user_update".NEXTVAL,
    sysdate
    :new.user,
    :new.address,
    :new.phone

  • Sequence Questions - Captivate 5

    I like using Sequence-type questions, but upon user review of the quiz, not all the answers appear.  Only the first two correct answers are shown.  If I have the user arrange five items in the correct order, only the first two correct responses are given in the quiz review.  I have carefully scrutinized all the setup parameters for this question type and don't appear to be doing anything wrong.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated?

    I've had a few issues with Sequence questions that were migrated from Cp4 to Cp5.  I usually found it best to just recreate the questions entirely in Cp5 to get everything working properly.

  • Fill In The Blank / Sequence Questions

    Is it possible to have a fill in the blank question in captivate (4 or 5) that is scored according to how many options the user got correct?
    For example:
    If you use 4 grams of 'b' you will need _____ grams of 'x', _____ grams of 'y' and ____ grams of 'z' to complete the forumula.
    In this example if they answered all 3 blanks correctly they would get 3 points, 2 correct answers would give them 2 points and so on.
    Also, is it possible to  score sequence questions according to how many items were correctly sequenced?

    Hello,
    For the moment partial scoring (as I'm calling it) is not possible in Captivate, at least not in the included Question slides. If you want that feature, and you are certainly not alone, please fill in a Feature Request to get this feature on the priority list of the Adobe team.
    If you do not mind the work, it is possible to create question slides yourself using the available objects, user variables and advanced actions. I wrote several articles and blogged about those workarounds, one of them is about creating question slides with possibility for partial scoring (it is not a FIB-question but the principles are the same):

  • File naming with sequence

    My editor requires that I name a file as in the following example:
    FI_RX_London(sequence number)
    if I try this while importing using file name with sequence, there will be a - sign in front of the number. My question, how do I remove the - sign

    In the import dialog, pick Filename-Sequence from the drop down File Naming list. (you will have done this already). Now click the drop-down list again and choose Edit. You will now see the Filename Template Editor window; remove the hyphen from the text box that shows
    {Filename>>}-{Sequence #(1)>>}. When you edit this, you will see the example just above it, reflect the change.

  • File name generation with sequence number

    Hi All,
    My scenario is, File to File.  I need to generate the filenames at the target side like File1.xml, File2.xml..File9999.xml for each file triggered from source system. The interface tiggesrs multiple times in a day.
    For example, for the first time, 5 files triggered, need to generate File1.xml,File2.xml..File5.xml. After some time the interface might trigger with 10 files, then need to generate files as File6.xml,File7.xml....File15.xml . Once the file count reaches 9999 then need to generate the files from  1 (File1.xml)again.
    Could you please suggest me the possible solutions. For this any Lookups required?
    Regards,
    Praveen Kumar

    Hi Praveen,
    Case 1: If a field in source data carries the information regarding the sequence.
                 You can map this value ( Directly .. or using some transformation ) in some temporary field in the target and then use a Variable substitution at the receiver communication channel.
    Case 2. If the source file name carries the sequence information. then you can enable the Adapter specific settings in the Sender communication channel , and then get the information of the source file name using the Container object in the mapping. Then assign the sequence number to a field in the target , use a Variable substitution at the receiver communication channel.
    Case 3 : If Case 1 and Case 2 are not applicable ... then you have to use a  Ztable  to store the sequence number , a function module to fetch the number , and then use a UDF  in which you will implement the  RFC call logic.Then the same process ....      assign the sequence number to a field in the target , use a Variable substitution at the receiver communication channel.

  • Sequence question

    I'm curious what others are doing with sequences in their AppEx applications. I know this isn't strictly an AppEx question - but I recently ran into serious problems because of my choice of how I'm using sequences.
    The problem goes something like this: I create a new table and while I'm doing so I go ahead and create a new sequence for that table. Seems innocent enough. Now, I just happen to use this new table as a lookup table for some foreign key values in one of my main data tables. Not a problem. Works like a charm.
    I start populating data into the main table and the lookup tables. Again, not a problem. The users want a little query mecanism for the report so I decide that I'm going to implement it in the UI with a checkbox based on an LOV that allows users to find records based on checking values and clicking a 'Find' button. OK, create a checkbox item, a named LOV, assign it to the checkbox item. Now amend the query for the report region to use the checkbox via an instr(:P1_MY_SEARCH_CHKBX, column_name)>0 kind of approach.
    Ooops! I'm not getting what I want. The changes to the query are clearly working for some cases but I'm seeing John Doe's projects (like I want) and Mary Jane's too (which I don't). Turns out John Doe's ID is '1' and Mary Jane's is '11' and '1' is definitely in '11', so things are working as they should based on my implementation, but I'm getting 'unexpected results' from the users point of view.
    Obviously, the root cause of this comes down to my choice to create that new sequence for each table and increasing the likelihood that this situation would occur. If I had used a single sequence value for the entire schema, that started with a large value (maybe a guid) and built all of my triggers off that one sequence then this little UI anomaly would likely not have occured.
    Sorry for the long, boring story - but I'm curious what others are doing and how many people have run into this same kind of problem?

    Personally I would do it in this sort of way. It may add an extra page or two, but I think in the long run it becomes easier.
    Here is my sample app - click a couple, hit the search button, and it will show you your results.
    http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=20233:1:17770724214406136839::NO:::
    What I would do in your case is to do something similar - list out the project managers using htmldb_item.checkbox(1, manager_id). This will tie the exact id to that box. Create a before header process that creates a collection - this collection will hold your checked boxes. Add an after submit process to add items to that collection. On your next page, you would do something like this to restrict the rows:
    select pro.project_number, pro.description
      from project pro
    where exists (select 1
                   from htmldb_collections col
                   where pro.manager_id = col.c001 and
             col.collection_name = 'PROJECT_MANAGER')Personally I like collections a lot - that way someone can go back to that page, add a couple extra checks and it repopulates the collection. If you need to see the exact code, let me know and i'll post it on my application page.
    As far as your 2nd question, its a matter of preference. There is nothing wrong or right about creating one sequence - yes you're right - the user never sees it, so it really doesnt matter. But I guess I am a creature of habit, and dont see what creating one sequence really saves you. Its sometimes nice to be able to see the next sequence value and have an approximate guess that you are creating the 243rd new employee instead of the 125,335th new object in the entire database.
    To each their own!

  • Work with SEQUENCE, Help me, I'm a NeewbY!

    Hi to all, I've a problem,
    I want to create a form based on db that uses sequence (auto-number) for the primary key.
    I'm working with Jdeveloper+ jheadstart (to build Model & view controller)
    I don't want to insert the PK, i want that ID is inserted automatically in the form (in the master and also in detail form)....there are a way like p_session (of Portal) or where can I insert an simple PL/SQL (or sql) code??
    Thabk you, I'm a very very beginner!
    (Note the Master have a PK_1 with sequence but not a trigger, the detail have a form composed by a PK_2 (with sequence and trigger), FK_1 (linked to PK_1), and another FK_2)

    Hi,
    Why you didn't create a trigger? With trigger you can create entry with ID=null, then trrigger calls the sequence automatically to populate the ID.
    If needed:
    CREATE OR REPLACE
    TRIGGER ASSIGN_MYTABLE_ID BEFORE INSERT ON MYTABLE
    FOR EACH ROW
    BEGIN
    IF :NEW.MYTABLE_ID IS NULL OR :NEW.MYTABLE_ID < 0 THEN
    SELECT MYTABLE_SEQ.NEXTVAL
    INTO :NEW.MYTABLE_ID
    FROM DUAL;
    END IF;
    END;

  • Sequence question drop-down list gets hung up on punctuation

    I'm making a sequence question. In drag-and-drop mode, it
    works fine. But in the drop-down list mode, it breaks. In other
    words, even if it is displaying correctly, it is "wrong" when the
    enduser tries to sequence the choices.
    I assume that this is because one of my items has punctuation
    in it.
    It's a person's name, so it looks like this:
    Lastname, FirstInitial.
    Or it could be even two people:
    Lastname, FirstInitial. & Lastname, FirstInitial.
    Is there a way to escape the commas and periods? (I'm willing
    to give up on ampersand!) Use ASCII, escape ActionScript or
    JavaScript? I'm not likely to solve the problem by experimenting,
    so I'm wondering if someone else has figured this out. THANKS.
    (I tried searching the forum, but searching does not seem to
    be working for me)

    o The second column, Trigger Firing Order, describes the order
    in which triggers fire after a function is performed.
    o The third column, Level, describes the level (form, block, item)
    at which the trigger fires. This was accomplished by creating a form
    with all the triggers invoked. If a trigger could fire at all levels,
    it was included at all levels. Such a trigger fires at the lowest level
    at which it is defined.
    Key triggers and triggers which fire via buttons or check boxes are
    not included.

  • Responses showing over feedback in sequence question - Captivate 5

    Hi all
    I have an issue with the sequence question type. If you have feedback, the draggable responses show over the top.  Please see grab.
    Is this a bug? I can't find any mention of it. It only seems to do it with certain responses. Makes it completely unusable.
    Suggestions?
    Mitch

    This tends to happen if you add answer options AFTER creating the question and adding the feedback captions.  The last thing added ends up on the upper layers of the quiz question slide, but since you cannot see these layers in the timeline, as you can for other slides, you cannot reorder the layers by normal means.
    The solution is to turn your feedback captions off and then on again so that they then end up on the higher layers again.
    Go to Quiz Properties for this slide and deselect/select the Correct and Incomplete captions to put them above the answer options.  Then set Failure level to NONE and back to whatever it was before to set the Failure caption above everything else.  This will erase any text you had in the captions, so if you've invested quite a lot of time adding text to these feedback captions, it's a good idea to copy that text somewhere else first, so that you can just paste it back in after recycling them.

  • Drop Down Options in Captivate 6 Sequence Question

    Hello!
    I'm working on a project using Captivate 6. There is a Sequence question using the drop down option for Answer Type. For this particular question there are 5 items that need to be placed in order. When a learner clicks the drop down to answer the question only 4 of the 5 options display forcing the learner to scroll to see the last option. Is there a way to make the drop down display larger so the learner doesn't have to scroll?
    Thanks in advance for your advice.
    Marie

    Thanks Lilybiri!
    This was helpful. My team decided to stick with the drop down format, but by making the font size smaller we were able to fit all 5 options into the window (taking away the need to scroll.
    Thanks again,
    Marie

  • Troubles with Sequences

    I have tried unsuccessfully to use different methods in gumbo to replace tweenmax and had very little success the closest I have come is with parallel sequences but still not really achieving what I was hoping to do , targeting objects is the first issue(even with sequencing) as the only way I have suceeded so far is to target an object before playing a sequence as below, but I want to include multiple targets within a series of effects and declaring the target within a sequence just fails.
    PageL.rotationY=180;
    flipper.target=paperMod;
    flipper.play();
    TweenMax.to(PageL,2,{rotationY:1, delay:0.100});   <------ I really don't want this here
    this is the sequence
    <mx:Sequence id="flipper">
    <mx:Parallel duration="500">
    <mx:AnimateProperty property="force" fromValue="0" toValue="1.8"/>
    <mx:AnimateProperty property="angle" fromValue="-1.00" toValue="-0.25"/>
    <mx:AnimateProperty property="offset" fromValue="1" toValue="0.3"/>
    </mx:Parallel>
    <mx:Parallel duration="750">
    <mx:AnimateProperty property="force" toValue="0" fromValue="1.8"/>
    <mx:AnimateProperty property="angle" toValue="-1.00" fromValue="-0.25"/>
    <mx:AnimateProperty property="offset" toValue="1" fromValue="0.3"/>
    </mx:Parallel>
    </mx:Sequence>
    this is the tweening I want to replace
    protected function button2_clickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
    PageL.rotationY=180;
    paperMod.force = 0;
    paperMod.offset = 0.95;
    paperMod.angle =  0;
    rev=true;
    myTween = new TweenMax(paperMod, 0.75, {force:1.7, offset:0.22, angle:-0.35, bezier:[{offset:1.2, angle:-0.7, force:1}],
    onComplete:reverseMe});
    TweenMax.to(PageL,2,{rotationY:1, delay:0.100});
    private function reverseMe():void
    if (rev==true)
    rev=false;
    myTween.reverse(false,true);
    http://gumbo.flashhub.net/flip/  - my test bed app
    So am I totally off-track or is there a way I can replace the tweening cleanly, I've tried motionpaths, animation etc... but nothing seems to work, and the big one is can I have multiple targets in a set of sequences/animations that could rival tweening.
    David

    Hi David,
    You should definitely be able to do this. The effects version is actually simpler than what you have below in Flex 4 beta (because of the new RepeatBehavior functionality and the ability for Animate to target multiple properties) (are you on Flex 4? Or using Flex 3?), but the key thing is that you have to specify the target (or multiple targets) either in the effect declaration or in the play() method when you launch it. Assuming you're okay with declaring the targets in the effects, here's how I'd rewrite your code using Flex4 effects:
    <s:Animate targets="{[paperMod, bezier]}" repeatCount="2" repeatBehavior="reverse"/>
        <s:SimpleMotionPath property="force" valueFrom="0" valueTo="1.8"/>
        <s:SimpleMotionPath property="angle" valueFrom="-1" valueTo="-.25"/>
        <s:SimpleMotionPath property="force" valueFrom="0" valueTo=".3"/>
    </s:Animate>
    If this is a question about Flex 3 effects, then I think the only thing you're missing is the targets. Add 'targets="{[paperMod, bezier]}"' to your Sequence declaration (the targets of composite effects propagate to the children unless the children override the targets).
    Does this help?
    Chet.
    ps: I have various tutorial videos on effects (Flex3 and Flex 4) on my blog at http://graphics-geek.blogspot.com - check it out if you want to get the bigger picture on how this stuff works.
