Update statement cascade

How can I easily update foreignkeys ?
When I 'm trying to update some keys in table a for example, I get the foreignkey error (ORA-02292: integrity constraint ).
Is there a way to create a procedure to do this?
tnx in advance

A: update statement cascade

An example of update cascade trigger.
Original is written in Japanese language (OTN Japan)
http://otn.oracle.co.jp/forum/thread.jspa?threadID=35000705&tstart=0
Example of questions (Homework?):
create table dept2 as select * from scott.dept;
alter table dept2 add (constraint pk_dept2 primary key (deptno));
create table emp2 as select * from scott.emp;
alter table emp2
add (constraint pk_emp2 primary key (empno));
alter table emp2
add (constraint fk_emp2_dept2 foreign key (deptno)
            references dept2(deptno) on delete cascade);
insert into emp2(empno,ename,deptno) values (9999,'NO DEPTNO',null);I have two tables above defined and added one data.
I want to update emp2.deptno automatically on updating dept2.deptno.
For example, on updating with 'update dept2 set deptno=35 where deptno=30',
I want to update only following 6 rows, but don't want to update the row on empno=9999,deptno is null.
SQL> select deptno,empno,ename from emp2 where deptno=30;
    DEPTNO      EMPNO ENAME
        30       7499 ALLEN
        30       7521 WARD
        30       7654 MARTIN
        30       7698 BLAKE
        30       7844 TURNER
        30       7900 JAMES
6 rows selected.Additionally, I want to accomplish it on whether deferrable or not.
Answer Example:
create or replace
package emp2_pack
is
type type_table_emp is table of emp2.empno%type index by binary_integer;
upd_value type_table_emp;
end;
create or replace

Decode function in Update statement

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to write a query where I can update a pastdue_fees column in a book_trans table based on a difference between return_dte and due_dte columns.
I am using Oracle SQL. This is what I have so far for my decode function:
SQL> SELECT
2 DECODE(SIGN((return_dte - due_dte)*2),
3 '-1', '0',
4 '1', '12', 'Null')
5 FROM book_trans;
DECO
Null
12
Null
0
So the logic is that if the sign is -1, the value in return_dte column should be 0; if it's +1 then it's 12 and everything else is Null.
So now, I need to enter my decode function into the update statement to update the columns. However, I get error messages.
The logic should be:
UPDATE book_trans SET PastDue_fees = decode(expression)
I've given it a couple of different tries with the following results:
SQL> UPDATE book_trans
2 SET pastdue_fees = SELECT
3 DECODE(SIGN((return_dte - due_dte)*2),
4 '-1', '0',
5 '1', '12', 'Null')
6 FROM book_trans;
SET pastdue_fees = SELECT
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-00936: missing expression
SQL> UPDATE book_trans
2 SET pastdue_fees =
3 DECODE(SIGN((return_dte - due_dte)*2),
4 '-1', '0',
5 '1', '12', 'Null')
6 FROM book_trans;
FROM book_trans
ERROR at line 6:
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated as I've been taking SQL for about six weeks and not very proficient!
Thanks!

Thanks!If you really really really want to update the entire table, the syntax would be...
UPDATE book_trans
SET
pastdue_fees = DECODE(SIGN((return_dte - due_dte)*2), -1, 0, 1, 12, Null);I took out all the single quotes. If you actually have a string column and you're storing entirely numbers in it then it should be declared as a NUMBER column and not a character (varchar2) column.
ALWAYS use the proper data type, it'll save you a ton of headaches in the future.
Also, since you're new to the forum, please read the FAQ so you learn the etiquette and what not.

Is their any limit on the number of column updates in a update statement!

Hello All,
Is their any limit on the number of columns to set in a single update statement.+
am using oracle 11g .
example :-
UPDATE FMLY SET as_comp1 = v_as_comp1 , as_comp2 = v_as_comp2, as_comp3 = v_as_comp3, as_comp4 = v_as_comp4 , as_comp5 = v_as_comp5 , perslt18 = v_perslt18 , persot64 = v_persot64 , fam_size = v_fam_size , numchild = total_children , C_AGE1 = v_c_age1, C_AGE2 = v_c_age2, C_AGE3 = v_c_age3, C_AGE4 = v_c_age4 WHERE FAMID = fmly_famid(i) ;
and also is it good practice to issue single update or multiple updates ?
example for the above update i can have multiple statements like .. does the performance matters if so which is good
UPDATE FMLY SET as_comp1 = v_as_comp1 , as_comp2 = v_as_comp2, as_comp3 = v_as_comp3, as_comp4 = v_as_comp4 , as_comp5 = v_as_comp5
WHERE FAMID = fmly_famid(i) ;
UPDATE FMLY SET perslt18 = v_perslt18 , persot64 = v_persot64 , fam_size = v_fam_size
WHERE FAMID = fmly_famid(i) ;
UPDATE FMLY SET numchild = total_children WHERE FAMID = fmly_famid(i) ;
UPDATE FMLY SET C_AGE1 = v_c_age1, C_AGE2 = v_c_age2, C_AGE3 = v_c_age3, C_AGE4 = v_c_age4 WHERE FAMID = fmly_famid(i) ;

If you can do it in a single SQL statement then you should do that.
Here's a mantra that I found to work out pretty good:

How do I pass multiple values from a text box to an update statement

I hope this does not sound to lame. I am trying to update multiple values Like this:
Code|| Computer Desc || Computer Price || Computer Name
SEL1 || Apple macbook || 1564 || Apple Macbook Basic
SEL2 || Dell 630 || 1470 || Dell Latitude
I want to change all six values at once in one update statement based on the Code, I can't find a good tutorial/example to help me.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks so much,
Laura

You can do conditional updates with decode or case statements e.g.
SQL> create table t as
2 select 'SEL1' as code, 'Apple macbook' as comp_desc, 1564 as comp_price, 'Apple Maxbook Basic' as comp_name from dual union
3 select 'SEL2', 'Dell 630', 1470, 'Dell Latitude' from dual
4 /
Table created.
SQL>
SQL> update t
2 set comp_desc = CASE code WHEN 'SEL1' THEN 'Test1' Else 'Test2' END,
3      comp_price = CASE code WHEN 'SEL1' THEN 1234 Else 2345 END,
4      comp_name = CASE code WHEN 'SEL1' THEN 'Test1 Name' Else 'Test2 Name' END
5 /
2 rows updated.
SQL>
SQL> select * from t
2 /
CODE COMP_DESC     COMP_PRICE COMP_NAME
SEL1 Test1               1234 Test1 Name
SEL2 Test2               2345 Test2 Name

Ask Tom has very good discussion about this, if UPDATE does not work for PK issue, you can use MERGE

Running an update statement on two dependent attributes

Dear All,
I have a repair_job table that contains values for work_cost, parts_cost and total_cost which is the sum of the work and parts cost values. I want to run an update statement that doubles the work cost and, naturally, updates the value of total cost as well. I tried to run it as:
update repair_job
set work_cost = 2 * work_cost, total_cost = work_cost + parts_cost
where licence in (
select licence from car
where year = to_char(sysdate,'YYYY')
thinking that because the update of work_cost is first on the list, the updated value of total cost would be correct. It seems however that the update of total cost happens first and then the work cost is been updated; not sure what the reason is for that and it happens no matter what the order is in the update statement.
I know that I can do it in two separate statements, or use a trigger or PL/SQL to do it but I am curious as to why it has this behaviour. Also, is there a way to do it in a single SQL statement - i.e. forcing the update of the work_cost attribute first and then that of total_cost?
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Regards,
George

The update to all columns of the row happen at the same time - there is no order involved.
You don't need two statements but you do need to do the updates based on the current value of the columns.
set work_cost = 2 * work_cost, total_cost = 2 * work_cost + parts_cost----------
In addition to sb92075's comments in 11 g you could also just define a virtual column for total_cost and then just query it like you do now.
total_cost NUMBER GENERATED ALWAYS AS (work_cost + parts_cost) VIRTUAL,See this Oracle-base article for an example
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/11g/virtual-columns-11gr1.php
Edited to supplement sb92075's reply by mentioning virtual columns

How can i use multiple row subquery in update statement

Hai All
I using group function in my update statement.. and i need to update more rows so i need to use multiple row
subquery pls tell me how to use multiple row subquery in update statement
For example
while i am using this like this i got an error
update dail_att set outtime in (select max(r2.ptime) from temp_att where empcode=r2.enpno and
barcode=r2.cardn and attend_date=r2.pdate group by enpno,pdate,cardn);
Pls tell me how to use with example
Thanks & regards

Hai Man
Thanks for ur response Let me clear what i need
First step Fetch the records as text file and stores into table T1
and the next step is i have seperated the text using substring and stores in different columns of a table
There are two shifts 0815 to 1645 and 1200 and 2000
Here I rep IN and O rep OUT
Empno date time inout
001 01-01-10 0815 I

This is my T1 table i have taken data from text file and stored in this table from this table i need to move data to another table T2
T2 contains like this
Empno Intime Intrin Introut Outtime Date
001 0815 1100 1130 1645 01-01-10

005 1215 2015 01-01-10
This what i am trying to do man but i have little bit problems Pls give some solution with good example
And my coding is

end if;
end loop;
exception
     when no_data_found then
     if r2.inout ='I' then
               insert into dail_att(barcode,empcode,intime,attend_date)(select r2.cardn,r2.enpno,min(r2.ptime),r2.pdate from temp_att group by r2.cardn,r2.enpno,r2.pdate );
     end if;
end;
end loop;
commit;
     end;
Pls tell me what correction i need to do i the update statement i have used a subquery with group function but when i used it will return only one row but my need is to return many rows and i need to use multiple row subquery
and how can i use it in the update statement
Thanks In Advance

How to use the updated value in the same update statement

Hello,
I just wonder how to use the updated new value of other column in the same udpate statement. I am using Oracle 11.2, and want to update the two columns with one update statement as following:
create table tb_test (id number(5), tot number(5), mon_tot number(5));
update tb_test set (tot = 15, mon_tot = tot *15) where id = 1;
...I would like to update both tot and mon_tot column, the value of mon_tot shall be determinted by the new value of tot.
Thanks,

How to track a column is not updated in a update statement issued.

Hello All,
Is there a way to write a trigger when a particular column is not specified in update statement.
For example, consider i have a table with 20 columns(Say Column1...column20). Trigger has to get fired only when column15(say) is not specified.
I know
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER test_trigger
BEFORE UPDATE
OF COLUMN1, COLUMN2......COLUMN20--Except COLUMN15
ON TESTTABLE
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
END of_clause; /
above trigger will solve my problem. But i don't want to mention all columns in this trigger. It will cause maintainance problem afterwards.
Is there any way to mention something like NOT OF COLUMN in the trigger ?
Regards,
Abhijit.

That trigger would get fired for every column except column 15.
What do you mean by "when a particular column is not specified in update statement"? Do you mean that the column is not mentioned at all in the update statement, or that the value of that column is not being changed even if it is mentioned in the statement?
If you mean the former, then I don't think there is any way to do that. however, if you want to do something only if the value in column15 is unchanged, then something along the lines of:
CREATE TRIGGER test_trigger
   BEFORE UPDATE OF testtable
   FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
BEGIN
   IF (:new.column15 IS NULL and :old.column15 IS NULL) OR
      (:new.column15 IS NOT NULL and :old.column15 IS NOT NULL and
       :new.column15 = :old.column15) THEN
      < do whatever for no changes >
   ELSE
      < do nothing or something else for changes >
   END IF;
END;John

Where clause in UPDATE statement is ignored

I have the following procedure that updates a field in a table. The only problem is that all rows in the table are updated like the update statement doesn't have a where clause. When I hard code the number (733) in the where clause it works as expected. Even if I don't alias the table name it still updates all rows in the table. Any ideas?
DECLARE
extlinkid CONSTANT NUMBER := 733;
newURL CONSTANT VARCHAR2(250) := 'mailto:[email protected]';
BEGIN
UPDATE SCHEMA.TABLE A
SET A.URL = newURL
WHERE (A.EXTLINKID = extlinkid);
commit;
END;

Oracle is resolving your variable extlinkid as the column in the table, so your UPDATE statement is equivalent to:
UPDATE schema.table a
SET a.url = newurl
WHERE (a.extlinkid = a.extlinkid);Which, of course, matches every record in the table. You need to change the name of your variable to something that is not a column name.

Update statement getting ORA-00904 invalid identifier

I am getting this ORA error when I try to conduct an update statement from a column value in one table to a like-named column in another table.
For instance, in my select, shown below, this query runs like a champ, returning all of my records
SELECT
b.ID,
b.ZIP, a.ZIP,
a.NAME,
a.LOCATION
FROM TBL_ARCHIVE a
INNER JOIN TBL_UAT b ON
a.ID = b.ID
WHERE
b.ID > 470000 And b.ID <470100;However, if I try to run an update statement with any of the following, I get this error. It seems so strange to me that I'd get an error using the same columns in the update statement, but would return the desired results effectively from the select statement!
one version of UPDATE
UPDATE TBL_ARCHIVE a
SET a.ZIP = TBL_UAT.ZIP
WHERE TBL_UAT.ID = a.ID;and another
UPDATE TBL_ARCHIVE
SET a.ZIP =
(SELECT b.ZIP
FROM TBL_UAT b
WHERE b.ID <472500 And b.ID >471000)
FROM TBL_ARCHIVE a
WHERE a.ID = b.ID)
WHERE ID IN
(SELECT ID
FROM TBL_UAT b
WHERE b.ID <472500 And b.ID >471000
);^ - this one produces a SQL not properly ended. Error ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended.
I'm really unsure though, how what I thought was a fairly basic update statement wouldn't work. I'm using Oracle 11g but through either Toad or SQL Plus. I've gotten these same errors in both.
Though MS Access runs slow as snails, I can manage to run the update statement successfully with it, a thousand records or so at a time. Problem is, I've got about 300K records needing updating.
I've looked around for similar problems but haven't found one where someone wasn't either using a reserved word for a column, which I'm not, I don't believe, or a problem that really dealt with this error in the context of an update statement.
But I'd welcome any enlightenment on this.

Please post the actual query you are using and the actual complete error message you are getting (everything about the error that is displayed).^^
That is NOT a valid query?
How else would you have an UPDATE statement created to set the value of a column in table A to the value of a (in this case, same named) column in table B?
And keep them in order to update the records appropriately?
I'll append the create statements momentarily.
Thanks!
CREATE TABLE TBL_UAT
( ID NUMBER(6),
ZIP VARCHAR2(10 BYTE) ) and
CREATE TABLE TBL_ARCHIVE
( ID NUMBER(6) NOT NULL, NAME VARCHAR2(50 BYTE),

BORROWER_NAME VARCHAR2(50 BYTE),
ADDRESS VARCHAR2(50 BYTE),
CITY VARCHAR2(50 BYTE),

ZIP VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
SALE_DATE DATE,
COMMENTS VARCHAR2(800 BYTE),
TIME_REQ DATE,
ACCTLOC VARCHAR2(50 BYTE),
OTHER_ACCTLOC VARCHAR2(50 BYTE)) Hope this can be of assistance.
Thanks, folks!

Error while running batch update statement

Hi
We are experiencing the below error while running the batch update statement where in the IN clause have more than 80,000 entries. The IN clause is already handled for max 1000 values so it has multiple or clause
like update...where id in (1,2...999) OR id in (1000,1001........) OR Id in ()...

*Cause: An ORACLE server session is in an unrecoverable state.

Is there a limitation of oracle or some bug?
Thanks

The limit on how long a SQL statement can be depends on many factors, including database configuration, disk space, and memoryI think you're over this limit.
The only way is creating a temporary table with all the values and using
IN (select ...)Max

Write an UPdate statement using the logic used in PL/SQL block (oracle 10g)

Hi All,
I have written the following PL/SQL block. I want to write an UPDATE statement using the logic used in the following PL/SQL block. can any one please help me out in this regards.

       WHERE tariff_code IN (169, 135, 136);
BEGIN
   FOR rec IN c
   LOOP

Using case statement.
UPDATE gor_gold_post
   SET hoov_flag = CASE WHEN TRUNC (ADD_MONTHS (rec.loyalty_date, rec.loyalty_period) - SYSDATE) < 304

                       THEN 1
                       ELSE 99
                     END,
       b49n      = CASE WHEN TRUNC (ADD_MONTHS (rec.loyalty_date, rec.loyalty_period) - SYSDATE) < 121.6
                         OR
                         (TRUNC (ADD_MONTHS (rec.loyalty_date, rec.loyalty_period) - SYSDATE) IS NULL
                            AND (SYSDATE - TO_DATE (rec.contract_date, 'YYYYMMDD')) > 91.2)
                       THEN 1
                       ELSE 99
                     END
WHERE tariff_code IN (169, 135, 136);Note: Code not tested.
