Updating a table with a query that return multiple values

Hi,
I'm trying to update a table which contain these fields : ItemID, InventoryID, total amounts
with a query that return these values itemId, inventoryid and total amounts for each items
Mind you, not all the rows in the table need to be updated. only a few.
This what i wrote but doesn't work since the query return multiple values so i can't assign it to journalAmounts.
UPDATE [bmssa].[etshortagetemp]
SET JournalAmounts = (SELECT sum(b.BomQty) FROM [bmssa].[Bom] b
JOIN [bmssa].[SalesLine] sl ON sl.ItemBomId = b.BomId
JOIN [bmssa].[SalesTable] st ON st.SalesId = sl.SalesId
WHERE st.SalesType = 0 AND (st.SalesStatus IN (0,1,8,12,13)) AND st.DataAreaId = 'sdi'
GROUP BY b.itemid, b.inventdimid)
Any advise how to do this task?

Remember that link to the documentation posted above that explains exactly how to do this. When you read it which part exactly were you having trouble with?

URGENT update a table with a text that has a single quote in it

Hello, I am trying to update a table with a text that has a single quote in it. I believe I need to use two singles quotes but I am not sure how.
For example:
UPDATE TEST
SET DESCRLONG='Aux fins d'exportations'
WHERE etc...
Should I put 2 singles quotes before the quote in the text?
UPDATE TEST
SET DESCRLONG='Aux fins d'''exportations'
WHERE etc...
Thank you very much :)

The best way depends on the version of Oracle.
But, the quick and universal answer is to use two single quotes
SQL> connect test/test
Connected.
SQL> create table test (descrlong varchar2(128));
Table created.
SQL> insert into test values ('This is a string with a '' single quote');
1 row created.
SQL> select * from test;
DESCRLONG
This is a string with a ' single quote
SQL> update test set descrlong='Aux fins d''exportations'
2 where descrlong like 'T%';
1 row updated.
SQL> select * from test;
DESCRLONG
Aux fins d'exportations

UPDATE statement based on query and return multiple value

Hi everybody,
I have two tables: temp3 and temp
One of them (temp3) should be updated based on the query where clause (id and flag columns).
I run this query but it updates all of the records in the temp3. I want to update only records with 'UPDATED' flag.
update temp3 t3
set (id,name,address) = (select t.id, t.name, t.address from temp t, temp3 t3
where t.id = t3.id and t.flag = 'UPDATED');
Does any body know how I can do it?
I appreciate your help
Thx

Hello
Basically you're missing a where clause on your update statement to restrict rows in t3 to the ones that have a corresponding row in t1.

Sending an Email with a cursor that returns multiple fields.

I was investigating about sending emails from apex, and I'd like to know if you can help me, I need to send an Email report with multiple fields, I m using this code :
DECLARE

from gk_report where id = (select max(id) from gk_report);
reg c1%ROWTYPE;
begin
IF (c1%ISOPEN = TRUE) THEN
CLOSE c1;
END IF;
OPEN c1;
FETCH c1 INTO reg;
CLOSE c1;

In this code there is a cursor that returns just one field, But what about if the cursor returns multiple fields, How can I insert a Loop into this code.?
Thanks,

Need a Dynamic SQL statgement that returns multiple values.

Hi,
I'm using Oracle 10.1.0.5.
In an anonymous block I have a dynamic SQL statement that finds the table name and column name that a string value resides in.
It looks like this:
 l_sql := 'SELECT 1 FROM dual WHERE exists (SELECT 1 FROM '||
 r.owner||'.'||r.table_name||' WHERE '||r.column_name||
 ' = :b1)';
 EXECUTE IMMEDIATE l_sql INTO l_res USING l_contents;
 DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line(l_contents||' exists in '||r_owner||
 r.table_name||'.'||r.column_name);I'd then like to do a 'Select Distinct' to list all the other values in that column in the anonymous block,
preferably as another dynamic SQL statement.
How can I do this?

How can I do this?Well, it would be nice for you to post the whole context of your present solution so we know what's going on. I'll assume r comes from a loop referencing user_tab_cols or some equivalent view.
If so, you'll likely need to check the DATA_TYPE column.
Keeping in mind, doing something like this is going to be pretty ridiculous if you have a large amount of distinct values ... I'm hoping/assuming this is a one off type of thing.
declare
type l_date is table of date;
v_date l_date;
type l_char is table of varchar2(4000);
v_char l_char;
type l_numb is table of number;
v_numb l_numb;
l_distinct_ set sys_refcursor;
begin
<current_code>
open l_distinct_set for 'select distinct ' || r.column_name || ' from ' || r.owner||'.'||r.table_name;
--expand on the data types you care about as needed, this is a BASIC set
if r.data_type = 'DATE'
then
 fetch l_distinct_set bulk collect into v_date;
 <process_collection_as_wanted>
elsif r.data_type in ('VARCHAR2', 'CHAR')
then
 fetch l_distinct_set bulk collect into v_char;
 <process_collection_as_wanted>
elsif r.data_type = 'NUMBER'
then
 fetch l_distinct_set bulk collect into v_numb;
 <process_collection_as_wanted>
end if;
close l_distinct_set;

LOV that returns multiple values

Apologies if this is a daft question or has been solved before...
How do I have a standard type of LOV (not java pop up) that displays one value as normal but, upon selection of that value, populates a number of other items in the region?
i.e.
instead of an LOV like
select col1 d, col2 r
from table_name
order by col1
I'd like:-
select col1 d, col2 r, col3, col4...etc
from table_name
order by col1
with the additional values passed into 'text' items in the region.
Thanks,
Tom

Thanks, the problem is that there may be up to a few hundredl hundred values in the lov. So this isn't practical to use the multiselect list. ideally there would be something like a poopup love, only when a value was chosen the value would be copied back into the main page, but the popup lov would stay open so that more values could be chosen.
I think this isn't implemented in apex, so I'll have to think about how to do this myself, or possibly make people open a new lov everytime...

Is there a way to use owa_opt_lock.checksum in Select query that returns multiple records?

Trying to do something as data would be uploaded and edited in grid. At present I am using Ora_Hash.
SELECT
        e.ROWID, e.Employee_Id,e.First_Name,e.Last_Name,e.Email,e.Phone_Number,e.Hire_Date,
        e.Job_Id,e.Salary,e.Manager_Id,e.Department_Id,
        owa_opt_lock.checksum('HR','EMPLOYEES', e.rowid) As HashForThisRow
FROM EMPLOYEES e;
Thx

No you can't.
owa_opt_lock.checksum is a function which is used for optimist locking. It locks the row(probably by using Select FOR Update mechanism) which you select and which you are trying to update. As a result, what you are eventually trying to do is that inside a Select query you are using a function that is locking the rows, which is not allowed. And thus your query will fail with the below mentioned error.
ORA-14551: cannot perform a DML operation inside a query
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SQL", line 1575
ORA-06512: at "SYS.OWA_OPT_LOCK", line 172
14551. 00000 - "cannot perform a DML operation inside a query "
*Cause:    DML operation like insert, update, delete or select-for-update
           cannot be performed inside a query or under a PDML slave.
*Action:   Ensure that the offending DML operation is not performed or
           use an autonomous transaction to perform the DML operation within
           the query or PDML slave.

How to create an explain plan with rowsource statistics for a complex query that include multiple table joins ?

1. How to create an explain plan with rowsource statistics for a complex query that include multiple table joins ?
When multiple tables are involved , and the actual number of rows returned is more than what the explain plan tells. How can I find out what change is needed in the stat plan ?
2. Does rowsource statistics gives some kind of understanding of Extended stats ?

You can get Row Source Statistics only *after* the SQL has been executed. An Explain Plan midway cannot give you row source statistics.
To get row source statistics either set STATISTICS_LEVEL='ALL' in the session that executes theSQL OR use the Hint "gather_plan_statistics" in the SQL being executed.
Then use dbms_xplan.display_cursor

Updating a table with billion rows

It was an interview question, what's the best way to update a table with 10 billion rows. Give me your suggestions. Thanks in advance.
svk

The best way to answer questions such as this is NOT with a absolute and specific answer. Instead, discuss your strategy for approaching the problem. The first step is to understand your exact requirement. It is surprising how often people
write update statements with an under-qualified where clause. NEVER update a row that does not need to be updated. For example, a statement like:
update mytable set cola = 'ABC' where id in (1, 45, 212);
Assuming id is unique for the table and the specified values exist in the table, we know 3 rows will be updated. Do all of those rows need to be updated? Think about it. If cola is already set to 'ABC' for any of those rows, we could ignore
those rows and make the update more efficient. To do that, you need to add "and cola <> 'ABC' " to the where clause. That is just one example of understanding exactly what you need to do - and doing only that which needs to be done.
Once you understand exactly what you need to do, you need to analyze the impact of the update and identify any potential issues. Updating a lot of rows can take a lot of time and consume large amounts of log and disk space. What else is using
the table? Can you afford to lock the table for the duration of the update? Are there concurrency issues, regardless of whether you update in batches or in one single statement? When using a batch approach, is there an issue if someone runs
a query against the table (i.e., the result is different from that of the same query run after all updates have been completed)? Are you changing something which is included in an index? Are you changing part of the clustered index?
Ultimately, every question you are asked is (or should be) designed to test your problem-solving skills and your skillset. IMO, it is relatively easy to improve your skillset of any particular tool, language, or environment. The other - not so much
and that is why they are more valuable IMO.

UPDATING A TABLE WITH SAME INFO FROM ANOTHER TABLE ON THE SAME DB

0down votefavorite
I am trying to update a table with info from another table on the same db with same table name. I just want the info to be the same , no primary key or constraint involve just a straight replacement of records and I keep getting errors WITH THE TABLE not
being recignize. below is my query:
UPDATE
VNDFIL
SET EOBTYP
= VNDFIL.EOBTYP,
EDI_X12_835_VERSION = VNDFIL.EDI_X12_835_VERSION
FROM
AGERECOVERY
WHERE
VNDFIL.EOBTYP
= VNDFIL.EOBTYP
AND
VNDFIL
.EDI_X12_835_VERSION
= VNDFIL.EDI_X12_835_VERSION

Hi rotary,
If those two same named tables are in the same database then they have to be in different schemas. If you mean they are in the same server instance, then they may be in different databases, besides the "table not being recognized" error,
anyway you should use the fully qualified table names, that is database.Schema.Table(If across instances, ServerName should be prefixed) to avoid the table unrecognized error.
Using Identifiers As Object Names
With the fully qualified names, your update statement can be like below.
UPDATE
db1.schema1.VNDFIL
SET EOBTYP = srcTbl.EOBTYP, EDI_X12_835_VERSION = srcTbl.EDI_X12_835_VERSION
FROM

Updating base table with Materialized View's data

Hi,
In order to update base table with MVs data, I am trying real time data transfer between two databases. One is Oracle 8i and other is Oracle 9i. I have created an updatable MV in 9i on a base table using database link. The base table is in 8i. Materialized View log is created in 8i on base table. MV has to be associated to some replication group, but I am not able to create replication group in 9i to which MV has to be associated. The required packages are not installed.
Replication packages are to be used to create replication group are :
/*Create Materialized View replication group*/
BEGIN
DBMS_REPCAT.CREATE_MVIEW_REPGROUP (
gname => 'TEST_MV_GRP',
master => 'TEST_DATA_LINK',
propagation_mode => 'ASYNCHRONOUS');
END;
But above block is giving error.
Can anyone suggest how to resolve this, or are there any other approaches (by not using replication packages) to update base table with MVs data ?
Thanks,
Shailesh

Yes, I created link between two databases and was able to update tables on 8i from 9i database using that link.
The error I am getting while creating replication group is :
ORA-06550
PLS-00201 : identifier 'SYS.DBMS_REPCAT_UTL2@'TEST_DATA_LINK' must be declared
ORA-06550
PLS-00201 : identifier 'SYS.DBMS_REPCAT_UNTRUSTED@'TEST_DATA_LINK' must be declared
ORA-06512 : at "SYS.DBMS_REPCAT_UTL", line 2394
ORA-06512 : at "SYS.DBMS_REPCAT_SNA_UTL", line 1699
ORA-06512 : at "SYS.DBMS_REPCAT_SNA", line 64
ORA-06512 : at "SYS.DBMS_REPCAT", line 1262
Is there any other approach which can be used to update base table with MVs data instead of using replication packages ?
Thanks,
Shailesh

Query or function that returns distinct values and counts

For the following table:
ID number
address varchar(100)
Where the ID is the primary key and addresses might be repeated in other rows, I'd like to write a query that returns distinct addresses and the count for the number of times the address exists in the table. What's the best way to do this? Thank you in advance.

Jlokitz,
select address, count(*)
from table
group by address;

Best way to update a table with disinct values

Hi, i would really appreciate some advise:
I need to reguarly perform a task where i update 1 table with all the new data that has been entered from another table. I cant perform a complete insert as this will create duplicate data every time it runs so the only way i can think of is using cursors as per the script below:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE update_new_mem IS
tmpVar NUMBER;
CURSOR c_mem IS
SELECT member_name,member_id
FROM gym.members;
crec c_mem%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
OPEN c_mem;
LOOP
FETCH c_mem INTO crec;
EXIT WHEN c_mem%NOTFOUND;
BEGIN
UPDATE gym.lifts
SET name = crec.member_name
WHERE member_id = crec.member_id;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN NULL;
END;
IF SQL%NOTFOUND THEN
BEGIN
INSERT INTO gym.lifts
(name,member_id)
VALUES (crec.member_name,crec.member_id);
END;
END IF;
END LOOP;
CLOSE c_mem;
END update_new_mem;
This method works but is there an easier (faster) way to update another table with new data only?
Many thanks

Almost anything would be better than that slow-by-slow loop processing.
You don't need a procedure you should just use MERGE for that. See the examples in the MERGE section of the SQL Language doc
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_9016.htm
MERGE INTO bonuses D
 USING (SELECT employee_id, salary, department_id FROM employees
 WHERE department_id = 80) S
 ON (D.employee_id = S.employee_id)
 WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET D.bonus = D.bonus + S.salary*.01
 DELETE WHERE (S.salary > 8000)
 WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (D.employee_id, D.bonus)
 VALUES (S.employee_id, S.salary*.01)
 WHERE (S.salary <= 8000);
