Unable to Insert record In forms: error -ORA-01779 :cannot modify a column

Hi,
I have created one form with two block.
Block-1 : Based on View
Block-2 : Based on table
There is is relationship between Block-1 and Block-2.
Block-1 is populating from LOV.
I just need to insert /update record Block-2 based on data from Block-1
So Block-1 I have made read only at runtime (Inser/update all properties are false).
Now when I insert record in Block-2 based on record from block-1, and getting below error.
"ORA-01779: cannot modify a column which maps to a non key-preserved table"
It is not allowing to insert record.
Please help me.
Subir

The error states that there is some operation on a view, not an a table.
Now when I insert record in Block-2 based on record from block-1What does that mean? How do you insert records in block 2?
When exactly occurs the error?

please how can i do this update?

Hi,
The "fa_additions" is a view, not a table.
You should update the base table "fa_additions_b".

Hi,
As the error message sugggested, INSERT directly into the sales table. You can get the values from a sub-query that joins whatever tables are needed, including sales itself. MERGE might be simpler and more efficient than INSERT.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
If you're asking about a DML statement, such as INSERT, the sample data will be the contents of the table(s) before the DML, and the results will be state of the changed table(s) when everything is finished.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

I need this to be done on automatic basis so i have chosen trigger.

You may get suggestion to use AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION to perform COMMIT within tirgger. But dont do that. Its wrong idea.
I will suggest you look back into your requirement and see what exactly you want. You could schedule a job that runs on a daily basis that will pick up the object details from your table and drop them accordingly.

ORA-02348: cannot create VARRAY column with embedded LOB

Hi
This error message I get when I try to create a table from my schema file which has a (sub-) element of type CLOB.
In my XML document I have an element which needs to become declared a CLOB (because it's > 4000 bytes), in my Schema I define it's element node like:
<xs:element name="MocovuState" xdb:SQLType="CLOB">
I can register this Schema file but when I create the table, I get the error:
ORA-02348: cannot create VARRAY column with embedded LOB
Does anybody know how to handle this ?
Marcel

You need to use the xdb:storeVarrayAsTable="true" schema annotation so that unbounded elements are created at schema registration time as nested tables. Varrays can not contain CLOBs/BLOBS. Use the schema annotation xdb:SQLType="CLOB" to tell Oracle XMLDB to use CLOB storage for the element. See your schema below:
P.S. XMLSPY is invaluable as it supports Oracle XML Schema annotations.

ORA-12983: cannot drop all columns in a table

Hi,
I am creating a table with two columns.
I have modified a column as unused using ALTER statement.
After that i have tried to drop the another column by using ALTER statement.
But it throws an error ORA-12983: cannot drop all columns in a table.
is it not possible to achieve this via ALTER statement?
thanks

is there any other way to find the name of the columns which have been marked as unused?Don't think so, and you would not be able to do much about. You won't be able to reference it, you won't be able to un-unuse it, and you would even be able to add a new column having same name.
Why are you using SET UNUSED in the first place?

Peter

Oracle forms error frm-40508: unable to insert record

Hi Everyone,
I have been having this problem for 2 weeks and I realize that I spent alot of time I couldn't get to fix the problem so I need your help.
Here is my situation. First, I installed Oracle 10g in my laptop with Oracle forms10g and Oracle forms904i. I had oracle_home folder as the top level structure then I have inside oracle folder, Oracle10g in it own folder, Oracle9i release2 in it own folder. then I created the user account "student" using the system/manager account finally I granted privilleges as follow:
GRANT ALL PRIVILLEGES
TO student
WITH ADMIN OPTION;
this was working perfecty I didn't need to grant objects privilleges such as
GRANT INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
ON customers
TO student;
Then I created a form Application prototype and it works well I could Insert, Update and Delete but now I am creating an e-commerce application prototype I created an new account using a system/manager account as I did previously and grant all privilleges. When I try to grant object privileges the message that I receive says ORA-01919 : role 'INSERT' doesn't exist
When I run the application I am unable to insert the record through forms I get message frm-40508 Orcle error: unable to insert record.
I deinstall the Oracle and clean my laptop and did a clean installation using only Oracle Server10g and Oracle Developer10g I am getting the same message frm-40508.
Can someone please help me on this. the insert command that I am running is a simple one such as
INSERT INTO customers
VALUES( block_name.field_name, ....);
COMMIT;

not sure on the block structure of your forms.
one would question why you seem to be doing a lot of the default insert work on the press of a button (when-button-pressed).
also if you have a master-detail relationship in the form - why you don't let forms handle the master-detail insert.
seems like you have database database blocks but are almost coding as if they are non-base table blocks.

[SOLVED] FRM-40508:ORACLE error: unable to INSERT record

Hi all,
I have migrated this form from 4.5 to 10g (Version 10.1.2.0.2 ). This form inserts a record into the database table when all the fields in the form are filled and a button Save is presed.
At the time when I press the Save button, I get this error. FRM-40508:ORACLE error: unable to INSERT record
So I went on to see the "Display Error" from help and found to be the database error, inserting into a table.
The error message is ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected DATE got NUMBER
The form where I press Save button has 3 date fields and I checked the properties of them and they are Date only.
I also generated to object list report and tried to find some answer, but no use.
Please help me in debugging this form.
Edited by: Charan on Aug 18, 2011 4:05 PM

I think you need to get a description of the table and compare all the "database" columns in the form with the ones in the database table to see that the types match. Somewhere there's a mismatch. Also check the block(s) "query data source columns" and see if there's any
columns in there that the type does not match the table. (check the sizes of things too while you're at it.)

Please advice.

Are the values for the columns being supplied from the application? If so check the formats of the columns and corresponding values of the same. If they are matching then check whether a null being inserted for a not null column..
Of course there could be many more reasons for this error.

Updating detail record and getting multiple 'UNABLE TO INSERT RECORD' msgs

Help! We have 2 datablocks, master and detail block with relation defined. Master is defined with view based on database joins; detail is view based on table.
When I update the record in detail block, error message 'UNABLE TO INSERT RECORD' appears four times, then I get transaction complete: 5 records applied and saved, where the one record successfully updates. Why are we getting four records with insert errors and one record update? We don't want to work directly on the table, but why can't we use the view? please help.

The UNABLE TO INSERT record will be accompanied by more information if you press the Display Error key. Your form commit processing should stop when it gets an error like this, the fact that it doesn't implies that somewhere in your code you are not checking for FORM_SUCCESS before continuing doing something else.
This sounds quite involved, we would need to have more information about what records are queried and what's being changed on them to cause the commit.
