Update a table content in database MS access

Hi
In my application i am using Database toolkit to write a table in to MS access.
i am able to write a table in to database but i am facing problem in editing a perticular cell in a table which is there in data base, how this can be achieved?
When i use insert data vi, a row of data is being inserted. but in my application i need to keep updating the data in the same field.
Ex: If i have writen a data in the 1st row i should keep updating the values of the 1st row basically i need to edit table contents.
regards
anil

You can DB Tools Execute Query to run an UPDATE query. Take this example where I use the example labview.mdb database in ...\examples\database directory. This VI allows the user to UPDATE the PhoneNumber field for record with CustomerID=23311 which is the first record.
Hope this helps

  • Progammatic update a table with a database view  in the page

    Hi All,
    I am using JDev 11g. With FOD database schema, I have one database view Products which comes from two tables Products_Base and Product_Transactions. I created three EOs (ProductEO, ProductsBaseEO, ProductTransactionsEO) and three VOs (ProductVO, ProductsBaseVO, ProductTransactionsVO) based on their EOs respectively.
    Here is my scenario. I have an ADF form which is based on the database view Products and is dragged and dropped from Data Controls->ProductVO. When an existing record is submitted, a backing bean method will be called to update the data against the table Products_Base (and the table Product_Transactions at the same time) programmatically. An update method updateProductPrice() is added into the Application Module and published it to UI Client. The submit button in the page is created by directly dragging and dropping Data Controls->updateProductPrice into the page. When I run it, I got the following error message,
    Failed to post data to database during "Update": SQL Statement "UPDATE PRODUCTS ProductEO SET COST_PRICE=:1 WHERE PRODUCT_ID=:2".
    What I don't understand here is that, in my update method updateProductPrice(), it supposes to update the table Products_Base. But from the error, it appears that it is trying to update the view Products. Can anyone give me a help on what I did wrong here? When I try to debug it, it throws an exception to this line in the method updateProductPrice(),
    getDBTransaction().commit();
    Here are my codes,
    The method which got called in the backing bean
    public String cb6_action() {
    DCBindingContainer bc = (DCBindingContainer)getBindings();
    FacesCtrlAttrsBinding ProductId = (FacesCtrlAttrsBinding)bc.get("ProductId");
    FacesCtrlAttrsBinding CostPrice = (FacesCtrlAttrsBinding)bc.get("CostPrice");
    JUCtrlActionBinding action =
    (JUCtrlActionBinding)bc.findCtrlBinding("updateProductPrice");
    DCDataControl dc = action.getDataControl();
    ApplicationModule am = (ApplicationModule)dc.getDataProvider();
    AppModule service = (AppModule)am;
    service.updateProductPrice(new Long(ProductId.toString()), CostPrice.toString());
    return null;
    public BindingContainer getBindings() {
    return BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
    The update method defined in the Application module (AppModuleImpl.java)
    public void updateProductPrice(long productId, String costPrice) {
    ProductsBaseEOImpl product = retrieveProductById(productId);
    if (product != null) {
    try {
    product.setCostPrice(new Number(costPrice));
    getDBTransaction().commit();
    catch (JboException ex) {
    getDBTransaction().rollback();
    throw ex;
    catch (SQLException ex1) {
    getDBTransaction().rollback();
    private ProductsBaseEOImpl retrieveProductById(long productId) {
    EntityDefImpl productDef = ProductsBaseEOImpl.getDefinitionObject();
    Key productKey = ProductsBaseEOImpl.createPrimaryKey(new DBSequence(productId));
    return (ProductsBaseEOImpl)productDef.findByPrimaryKey(getDBTransaction(),productKey);

  • UPDATING A TABLE IN THE DATABASE

    I was just wonderng if u had 2 Java applications 1 ,a replica of another.Each application updates the exact same table with information in a database.If both applications are run at the exact same time what would happen,would it have any effect on the database?or would it do any harm?

    The chances of two applications running at exactly the same time are miniscule. If they each have a connection to the database, and are both trying to modify the same table, then chances are one will be slightly after the other its changes would be committed last. In the case where one might delete a row just before another tries to access that row, you're going to have some sort of problem. However, those circumstances are pretty rare, and even so, some small amount of exception handling can deal with them gracefully.

    hi
    My problem is here I need to update the loginfo table with the file name, count of records, table name and datetime.
    For instance my dat file is XX.dat
    my database table name is Mytable
    Total record count is 10,00,000 records
    datetime as on this date
    the data in the XX.dat file I am using the controlfile (SQL*loader and dumping into the Mytable.Now my 10,00,000 records are dumped into the Mytable.
    This process information I want to store it in the loginfo table. For this I need the trigger
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER MYTRIGG
    AFTER INSERT ON MYTABLE
    Declare
    V_Count Number;
    Begin
    Select count(*) into V_Count from Mytable;
    Insert into Loginfo(TotalRecords,Date)
    Values(V_Count,Sysdate);
    end;
    This is the trigger I have used.But in my loginfo table instead of one value as 10,00,000 it is getting each record as row by row
    1
    4
    100
    1000
    10,00,000
    So I need only one value to be stored and at the same time my tablename and filename must also be stored.
    Kindly help me

  • Try to update a table using resultset and nothing happens

    I am trying to update a table in my database.
    I already know the row I want to update by the reporttrikid in the where clause.
    Nothing happens when I run this code. It does not fail but my table never gets updated.
    I have done inserts and selects with no problem, but I must be doing something wrong when it comes to an update.
    Can someone please help?
    try
    conn = XCConfig.getInstance().getConnection();
    logger.debug("connection: " + conn);
    sql = "UPDATE " + REPORTTABLE + " SET " + REPORTTRKMISC + "=?" +
    " WHERE " + REPORTTRKID + "=?" ;
    logger.debug(sql);
    stmt = conn.prepareStatement(sql);
    logger.debug("sql TRKID: " + "");
    Iterator it = List.iterator();
    while (it.hasNext()){
         XCDocPriceFilter filter = (XCDocPriceFilter) it.next();
    //filterTrkId = filter.getTRKId();
         //trkid = Integer.parseInt(filterTrkId);
    trkid = filter.getTRKId();
    logger.debug("Update trkid: " + trkid);
    stmt.setString(1,trkMisc);
    stmt.setInt(2,trkid);
    rs = stmt.executeQuery();
    }//end iterator
    rc = true;
    }

    I am still not getting anything updated.
    I am using the following code.
    int updateCount = stmt.executeUpdate();
    logger.debug(updateCount + " records were updated!");
    The logger says it has been updated, when I go to the
    table the table has not changed.Is your connection in auto-commit mode? Maybe it hasn't committed it (yet). Did you also remember to close your JDBC resources (rs, stmt, conn)?

  • How to extract HTML table contents

    Does someone know how to extract HTML table contents? I want to download a html file which contains table from internet and extract the table contents. Finally, insert the table contents into database.

    To do this you have to user a Parser to parse your html file and retrieve the information you want.
    Please have a look at the following classes:
    HTMLEditorKit.ParserCallback
    ParserDelegator()
    Here is an example which retrives the FRAMSET src of an html file. The purpose here is to find if the html file describes a multi-frame page or not. If so it add the frame src name to a Vector
    HTMLEditorKit.ParserCallback callback =
    new HTMLEditorKit.ParserCallback() {                      public void handleSimpleTag(HTML.Tag t,      MutableAttributeSet a, int pos)
         if (t.equals(HTML.Tag.FRAME))
    {                                          Logger.debug(this, "Frame tag found in "+f.getURL());                      Enumeration e = a.getAttributeNames();
    while (e.hasMoreElements())
                             Object name = e.nextElement();
                             if (name.toString().equals("src"))
                                  Object ob = a.getAttribute(name);                     
                                  Logger.debug("found an src "+ob);
                                  currentFrameSrc.add(new String(ob.toString()));
                   Reader reader = new FileReader(aFile);
                        new ParserDelegator().parse(reader, callback, false);
    It's not clean but I hope it will help :-)

  • Getting the table names in an MS Access database

    Hi,
    I am new to JDBC and making a client/server application that updates a MS Access database through jdbc:odbc.
    I need to get a list of existing user tables in the db. I have found a great document on the net which has the code, however the code doesn't work.

  • Updates to the table from the database level.

    Hi Dear All,
    If we do some updates to the table at the Database Level, like i deleted some records from the table at the Oracle level. But I'm still able to see the same deleted records from the Data Dictionary(SE11) at the application level.
    Can you pl explain the mechanism, that how it is possible and why.
    best regards
    Mahesh

    transparent tables store data directly....if you delete some data from transparent tables, the same is reflected in the database (oracle) but the reverse is not true...if you modify the database table contents directly...the dictionary table remains intact...
    transparent tables have a one-to-one relationship with the database tables....
    hope that clarifies a bit....
    (somebody correct me if i am horribly wrong)

  • I want to use the SQL query IF EXIST to update or insert data in a ms access table, but it doesn´t work

    Hi,
    I want to use the SQL query IF EXIST to update or insert data in a ms access table, but it doesn´t work
    (fault number -2147217900)
    I want to search for a value in a ms access table , if it exist i want to update it, if not i want to insert a new row.
    Working with LabView 7.1, database con. toolset.
    Who can HELP?
    Thanks a lot
    Marco

    Hello,
    I think that If exist is not a standar SQL command (I know it exists I think in Oracle and SQL server), MS access doesn't support it, so I think the best way to do it is first make a Select and then either an Update or an insert, sorry...

    With Service Broker?
    Without Service Broker, you would do:
    UPDATE targettbl
    SET    col1 = b.col1,
           col2 = b.col2,
    FROM   targettbl a
    JOIN   srctbl b ON a.keycol1 = b.keycol1
                   AND a.keycol2 = b.keycol2
    It is important that a row in targettbl maps to at most at one row in srctbl, or else the result will not be predictable.

  • How to update a table in database

    Hi.
    i am working on HR system. I have developed a form of report engine. Report Engine form contains no any database table but text items, buttons and options.
    I have placed a button and in its when button press triger i wrote a procedure to update a table record as:
    Update Empbiodata
    Set Status = 'Retired'
    Where Status = 'On Duty'
    but that button is not updating the database record. when i add a line of Commit_form, after that i faced the error message there is no change to save.
    I have run this code on SQL prompt and saw working well.
    please solve the problem that why this code is not working in button press trigger in the form.
    thnx

    Hi Zaheerms,
    You can do this kind of updates in the Forms.
    I will help u in this scenario.
    1st tell me the update column is a database item or not ?
    Sample code :
    begin
    Update Empbiodata
    Set Status = :block.column_name --'Retired'
    Where Status =:block.column_name -- 'On Duty'
    commit;
    -- For checking message
    fnd_messahe.set_string('Testing'||:block.column_name);
    fnd_message.show;
    end;
    and give some condition as per ur requirement.
    I think so this will help you.
    If not post again and i will try to clarify you.
    thanks,
    SIvaprasad

    hi ,
    just write like this,
    delete from <database table>.
    commit work.
    sample code, here edpar is database table.
    delete from edpar." FROM TABLE g_tab_delete.
      call function 'DB_COMMIT'.
      loop at g_tab_edpar into g_wa_edpar.
        insert into edpar values g_wa_edpar.
        if sy-subrc  eq 0.
          move-corresponding g_wa_edpar to g_wa_edpar1.
