Update one column in Query only block

Hi,
I have a question regarding multi-record, multi-columns form block.
A block has 100 columns (column1 to column100).
We have two separate version of same form. In query only mode, update_allowed property of all the blocks in the form is False.
But in query only form, one specifc column should be updateable.
How can use Custom.pll to achive this functionality ?
I tried following steps
1. In when-new-item instance of column 54, wrote set_item_property and set_block_property
2. Update allowed for block and specific item is True
I know that Block property will override the property of items.
Now all the items are updateable in query only form. But i want only one column updateable.
Appreciate you valuable input on this.
Thanks

This is an eBusiness-related question, you should post it in the eBusiness-forum. From the "pure" forms point of view, set the Block as updateable and set all item except the one you want to be updateable to UPDATE_ALLOWED =PROPERTY_FALSE

Update a single column in query only form

Forms 9i, database 10g
I am migrating the form from 6i to 9i. I have a form that is query only except for one field that can be updated. The main block1, based on a view, includes most of the person's personal data, none of which is updateable.. Another block2, based on a table, includes the 3 not-null colums that cannot be updated, and a remarks field, which can be updated. The block2 properties are set YES for insert, update, delete. The three non-updatable columns have properties set to NO for I,U and D, but the remarks column has I,U and D properties set to YES. When I enter data into the remarks field and press the Save on the Forms icon bar, I get error FRM-40508:unable to insert record and the ORA-00001:unique constraint. I don't should not be able insert and I don't want to, I just want to update one column.
What am I not setting correctly in 9i? The same triggers and code works in 6i.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

No, there are no on-update triggers, but there are Post-Qry. I did run it in debug mode, but there is no good place to put a break point, since retrieval of the data works fine. Should I have key-commit trigger on the block to do the update?

SQL update one column from another column

I'm looking for a way to update a SQL column with a portion
of info from another column in the same table.
example of a sql command
UPDATE table1
SET table1.columnname1 = table1.columnname2
FROM table
WHERE blah blah blah
Here's the thing... I only need a portion of the data found
in the source column. I'm not sure how I would do this then.
for example, the database has countries and states combined
into one column like this 'US-DC', 'US-CA', US-FL', etc. I want to
separate these into two columns, a country column and a state
column.... and I dont want to go though all the results and do this
line by line. How would I write the SQL command so that it puts
just the country in the country column, and puts just the state in
the state column, and it omits the dash all together.
any ideas?

It depends. Are you using PHP and mySQL or ASP and SQL?
If you are using mysql and PHP you could use the following
code to loop through all records in your datatbase.
$sql="SELECT * FROM tablename"; //SET tablename to the name
of your database table.
$result=mysql_query($sql)or die(mysql_error(). " - $sql");
for($x = 0; $row=mysql_fetch_assoc($result); $x++){
//set up the variables from the table
$ID=$row['ID']; //this is the primary key
$var1=$row['contrystatecolumn']; //this is the name of the
column which holds the country-state
$var2=explode("-", $var1); //now we explode the string to get
the country and the state seperated and place the results into an
array
$country=$var2[0]; //this is the first piece of the exploded
string in the array
$state=$var2[1]; //this is the second piece of the exploded
string in the array
//now we update the database record with the new information
//remember to replace the tablename with your actual table
name and the columns country and state with the acutal names of
your columns in your table
$sql2="UPDATE tablename SET country='$country'.
state='$state' WHERE ID='$ID'";
$result2=mysql_query($sql2)or die(mysql_error() . " -
$sql2");
This code will loop through every record in your table and do
what you want very quickly.
Hope this helps

UPDATE of column in parent only UPDATEs first row in DENORMALIZED child table

In the Repositiry in Designer 6i, I denormalized DESC1 column to
pull the value of DESC1 in the parent table. The child table has
four (4) records with matching foreign keys. When I go into my
Form and update DESC1 in the parent, only the first of the four
child DESC1's are updated. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dan

Dan,
Sorry, known bug, but should be fixed in next release.
Have a look via metalink at article <Note:156833.1> this

Update one column while getting the value in another column

Is it possible to in one single SQL statement update two columns in a table while at the same time obtaining the value of another column, on the same row, in the same table, and independently (that is, the update of the columns has nothing to do with the data that I want from another column)*?* Of course, I can do this in two operations, one being a "select" and the other one being an "update", but since I am in the same table and even on the same row, is it really necessary to make TWO database calls? That's why I want to combine the the two SQL-statements, for reasons of presumed effiency.

At least not in terms of SQL.
JDBC requires a 'statement' but in SQL (depending on the data source) that can include multiple statements. An obvious example of this is a stored proc but there are other ways as well.

Update one column from another

Hi guys,
I have two columns in a table, FIRSTNAME and LASTNAME. Currently, both firstname and lastname are appearing in 'Firstname' column. I would like to split the last name from this column and insert into the 'LASTNAME' column.
For example, here's what I have currently:
Line: -----
Firstname     Lastname
Peter Andre
James Dean
Watch Man
Jenna Klare
James Smith
Tina Adams
Blair Witch
Currently, my 'Lastname' column is empty. I would like to update the table to insert lastname from the 'FIRSTNAME' field into 'LASTNAME' column, so the output will look like:
Firstname     Lastname
Peter     Andre
James     Dean
Watch     Man
Jenna     Klare
James     Smith
Tina     Adams
Blair      Witch

Triggers to update one column on 3 tables

hi,
I've three tables:
TABLE TN:
COD_ID.........VARCHAR2(32) primary key
NAME...........VARCHAR2(64) NOT NULL
COD_ID..............NAME
A12.................AT32
A13.................AT33
A14.................AT35
A30.................AT32
TABLE TM:
ID_X..........VARCHAR2(32) PRIMARY KEY
NAME..........VARCHAR2(64)
ID_X..............NAME
A12
A13
A14
A30
TABLE TL:
COD_ID..........VARCHAR2(32) FOREIGN KEY ON TN
ID_X............VARCHAR2(32) FOREIGN KEY ON TM
TL_ID...........VARCHAR2(32) PRIMARY KEY
NAME............VARCHAR2(64)
I'd like to create triggers (or procedure) that update automatically the value NAME in the tables TM and TL.
for example:
If I insert into TN a new COD_ID (A39) and a new NAME (AT38), when I insert a new ID_X in tble TM, I'd like
to have the value AT38 in NAME of TM, and when I insert a new record in table TL I'd like
to have the value AT38 in NAME of TL.
Also when I update NAME of TN.
I tried with these triggers:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TN_PR_BEFORE_UPD
BEFORE UPDATE OF NAME ON TL
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
tmpVar NUMBER;
BEGIN
update TL set NAME=:new.NAME where TL.COD_id=:new.COD_id;
UPDATE TM SET NAME=:NEW.NAME WHERE ID_X=:NEW.COD_ID;
END TN_PR_BEFORE_UPD;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TN_COD_ID
BEFORE UPDATE OF COD_ID ON TL
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
SELECT NAME INTO :NEW.NAME FROM TN WHERE TN.COD_ID=:NEW.COD_ID;
END TN_COD_ID;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TL_pr
BEFORE UPDATE OF NAME ON TL
BEGIN
UPDATE TM SET NAME=:NEW.NAME WHERE ID_X=:NEW.ID_X AND :NEW.ID_X IS NOT NULL;
END TL_pr;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER TL_PR_BEFORE_INSERT
before INSERT ON TL
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
tmpVar varchar2(64);
BEGIN
SELECT NAME
into tmpVar
FROM TN
WHERE COD_ID=:NEW.COD_ID;
END TL_PR_BEFORE_INSERT;
when I update TN triggers run CORRECTLY but when I insert a new record in TM, TN, TL I don't see a new NAME.
What I wrong??
Thanks
Raf

Use when updating then insert into table_name
and
when inserting then insert into table_name
clauses in your Triggers to do this

Updating a column of a table

Hi all
I have a problem in updating one column in the target table(say table A) from a column in the source table (say table B).
All the columns in table A has been populated. Just one column should be populated. My source is a SQL object that contains a complex sql query that returns three columns date_from, date_to and ID.
In the table A, I have the same date_from and date_to and need to get the ID from the SQL object and set it to the corresponding ID in the table A.
I tried many ways to update the table, but it I couldn't ;(
I should read from a table and update it based on a look-up function mapped to the column I need to update.
I want to map the ID colmn from table A to a look-up ext function that can get the column from the table B. However I don't know how to use the Data Services objects to just update 1 column. If you could give me a consequence of the DS objects to be update a table based on a look-up , I would be so grateful.
Thanks.

Your dataflow should look like this :
1) Source = the SQL transform with date_from, date_to and ID as columns.
2) Next add a query (copy all columns from schema in to schema out) and set date_from and date_to as keys. Also make sure column names exactly match the column names in your target table, if not rename them in this query.
3) Add a Map_Operation transform that maps all "normal" operation codes to "update"
4) Finally add your target table and in the properties/options set "use input keys" to yes (or checked).
This will generate UPDATE statements for all columns used in the query with a WHERE clause based on the keys defined in the query (date_from, date_to).

Can i update more then one column using select query.

Dear All,
Can i update more then one column of target table A from source table B. Like
Update table A set A.A1 = (Select B.B1 from B where A.A3 = B.B3).
Above stmt. I am updating only one column. But I want to update more then one column A.A1 and A.A2
Plz give me the possible ways.
Thanks,
Vikas

Yes you can do. Try the below Query
Update A set (A.A1,A.A2) = (Select B.B1,B.B2 from B where A.A3 = B.B3)

Access for update only one column in table?

Hi all,
My need is to grant access for update only one column c1 in table t1.
I guess I should use view, could you please give me some example? Maybe other ideas?

Hi,
You can grant privileges on individual columns.
GRANT   UPDATE (c1)
ON      t1
TO      grantee_name;Look up GRANT in the SQL language manual. Annoyingly, in recent editions of the manual, GRANT is not indexed, but it's in alphabetic order with all the other statements:

Update SAME column name in two tables from ONE query

Dear All Seniors
Please tell me is it possible to update a same column name in two tables.
I have two tables in same schema
(1)table name
pem.igp_parent
column name
igp_no.
igp_type
(2)table name
pem.igp_child
column name
igp_no.
igp_type
i want to update igp_no column in one query please tell me how it would be possible.
thanks
yassen

You want to update the data from what to what? Where is the new data coming from?
If you are trying to put the same data in two different tables, that strongly implies that you have a normalization problem that needs to be addressed.
Why do you want a single query rather than updating each table in turn? Can you join the two target tables to produce a key-preserved view?

What property/preference sets block property "Update changed columns only"

Hi, we are wondering how Designer (latest version 10.1.2.4) desides when it generates a form with block property "Update changed columns only" set to Yes.
Under some cricumstances this property is No in the generated .fmb
We checked the object library, but the .olb has this property set to No, so Designer overrules it.
Our goal is to generate all blocks with the "Update changed columsn only" set to No, because we ran in a forms bug that it can't handle Insert statements on blocks with this property set to Yes (ORA-01036). This bug only occurs in the latest forms version 10.1.2.3
Hope anyone can help to force this property to be No when we want to achieve 100% generation from Designer.
Kind Regards
Auke Quist
Edited by: aukequist on Oct 13, 2008 8:49 PM

I think that's not possible in designer. You could define a block with this property set in the template form or in the object library. The use this block use the template/library object property in designer.
