Updating date field in db table.

Hi ,
I need to update a table which has a date field the and its of type dats.
i need to insert the date from the flat file. If the date field is blank it is updating in the table like
" / / ". if the date is 3/5/2006 it is updating properly.
if the date is blank the table should be inserted with null values . it should not have " / / " also.
can anyone help me on this.
Regards,
Rose.

Use WRITE statement to transfer date into dats field.
DATA : v_date TYPE d ,
v_date1 TYPE d.
WRITE v_date TO v_date1.

I want to update date field in oracle table using database adaptor

Hi Guys,
I want to update date in oracle table field which is 'DATE' type , but i am getting following error.
Pure SQL Exception.
Pure SQL Execute of update crp3apps.IFACE_SO_DATE_CHANGES set PROCESSED_DATE=? where CTRL_ID=? failed. Caused by java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string
The Pure SQL option is for border use cases only and provides simple yet minimal functionality. Possibly try the "Perform an operation on a table" option instead.

i am formated the date using following code and assigned to one variable.
ora:formatDate(ora:getCurrentDateTime(),'dd-MMM-yyyy hh:mm:ss ')
this is update query
update crp3apps.IFACE_SO_DATE_CHANGES set PROCESSED_DATE=#date where CTRL_ID=#id
Please provide solution.

The thing is that XSLT often doesn't deliver the functionality required when it comes to times.
You suggest appening "Z" to the time but this means that the time is now in UTC time. What if the system from where the date is being converted is running in NZ using local time? Other systems that recieve the date (and correctly handle the time zone) will now have a time that is out by a number of hours.
You often can't ignore the time zone (drop the 'Z') as if you send the time to a system it has to either assume the time is local to it (which may not be the case... the other system coudl be in a different time zone) or assume the time is UTC (I think crossfire does this by default).
Typically can't just append a time zone (e.g. +11:00) either as many places have daylight savings so the value to appended is variable (you then need some way of determining what the value is... either Java Embedding or a Service).
As you mention it does depend on the use case but in many circumstances using Jaba Embedding, not as suggested above but with the appropriate Java.util.Calendar classes, is the best way to handle date and time in BPEL. Even still you need to ascertain the format of times external to the system and ensure you parse them correctly.
ANd even if you do all this you can still run into problems. I've seen a real world example where two systems which both handled time zones correctly and had previously been working together for quite a while, satrted reporting different times. It turns out that only one of them had had the most recent Java Time Zone patches applied and there had been a change in the dates for daylight savings here (Australia). Be warned!

Problem updating date field on user table

Hi,
I am having difficulty updating the value for a date field on a user defined table. All of the other fields update fine. Below is the code I am using. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have tried updating to both a date variable or a string variable. Thanks in advance for your help
Dim d As Date
    d = CDate("01/01/2004")
    pRecord.GetByKey (editForm.Items("Code").Specific.String)
    pRecord.UserFields("U_CardCode").Value = editForm.Items("CardCode").Specific.String
    pRecord.UserFields("U_CardNbr").Value = editForm.Items("CardNbr").Specific.String
    pRecord.UserFields("U_CardType").Value = editForm.Items("CardType").Specific.String
    pRecord.UserFields("U_ExpDate").Value = d
    pRecord.UserFields("U_Name").Value = editForm.Items("Name").Specific.String
    pRecord.UserFields("U_CVN").Value = editForm.Items("CVN").Specific.String
    pRecord.UserFields("U_Addr1").Value = editForm.Items("Addr1").Specific.String
    pRecord.UserFields("U_Addr2").Value = editForm.Items("Addr2").Specific.String
    pRecord.UserFields("U_City").Value = editForm.Items("City").Specific.String
    pRecord.UserFields("U_State").Value = editForm.Items("State").Specific.String
    pRecord.UserFields("U_Zip").Value = editForm.Items("Zip").Specific.String
    If editForm.Mode = fm_UPDATE_MODE Then
        pRecord.Update
    End If

I think I have figured it out. The cardtype field (which I was also updating) has a list of valid values. If I didn't specify a value for this field none of the other fields would update either. I'm still not sure of the reason for this behavior.

just before saving u might have to use a string reverse FM and then save it..

Update 2 fields in 1 table

I need to update an Oracle 8i database. I need to update 2 fields in 1 table with about 2,000 rows of data.
Right now the date is stored in an Excell file in columns A and B.
I need Something like:
Update Table1
set field1 with value from A:1,
set field2 with value from B:1
repeated with A:2,B:2 and so on

I believe you could use sql loader to get your excel file in but here is a way I cheat to do it.
I save the excel file as a comma deliminated file (I think it is .csv)
then I open it up and copy and paste it into the following. (the part that says paste flat file here)
this is assuming 8i supports model clause I'm unsure on that point.
create or replace view view_xl_file_to_table as
select * from
with t as (select
--- copy paste your flat file here
' Bob,Jones,12345,Employee
Fred,Thebes,32,Manager
John,Smith,12,Employee
Karl,Cane,432,Employee
George,Johnson,54,Manager

select flat_text_file text_file_turned_into_row,
        substr(flat_text_file, 1, instr(flat_text_file,',',1,1)-1) col1, -- get text up to the first comma

Update a field in bseg table

Hi experts,
i want to update a field in BSEG table (field name is BUPLA).
Using UPDATE statement i am going to update the bseg table.
I know only update statement.
This my immediate requirement.
please give me suggesstion.

Hi,
If you want to update the existing table record or field.. it is always advisable to use MODIFY statement instead of UPDATE.
syntax:
fetch the BSEG data to internal table IT_BSEG and do you modificaltions.
Loop at it_bseg.
    it_bseg- XYZ = 'ABC'.
    it_bseg-UVW = '123'.
   modify it_bseg transporting XYZ UVW .
endloop.
MODIFY BSEG FROM TABLE IT_BSEG   (here it_bseg is the internal table)
COMMITWORK.
Modify always check in the database whether the record exists or not if it is there it will modify the existing one.. otherwise create a new record.... in Update statement.. there is always a chance of creating a new record.. instead of updating the existing one...

Update Date field automatically

When a user is adding a new entry I want two of the fields in the table to be automatically updated without the user knowing (hidden fields), I want a current date and time to be entered into the Updated Date field and the :APP_USER to be entered into the Updated_by VARCHAR2 field.
How do I go about doing this can I just put code to do so into the source of ITEMS or do I have to create a process?
Thanks

How can I update data fields in a merged document ?

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to update the values of data fields in a merged document with a script just as you can do with the user interface.
I don't find any method like "updateDataFields ()" in the DataMerge object.
Si I try to invoke the menu action "Update Data Fields", but it fails. The script error message is: "Error 53762, the script is not active." On the contrary, the action works if I use the interface.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance,
FredIsnard
PS : I work with CS5.5 and JavaScript.

Hi!
You might be looking for this one:
DataMerge.mergeRecords (outputOversetReportFile: File )
Merges records and produces an optional overset report.
outputOversetReportFile: Data Type: File
The path to the file in which to store the overset report. (Optional)

Error while updating Date Field on Process Form.

Hi,
I am using java code to pre-pop date on the process form.First I used a java code whic took java.sql.date as input and returned the same java.sql.date.But it gave an error that:java.lang.String cannot be converted to java.sql.date.......
So I changed the java code and now it takes string as input and returns java.sql.date. This code works fine for Pre-pop adapter and the date is populated on the process form.
But when i use the same code in a Process Task adapter to update the date, then it gives the following error:
ERROR [ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '0' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)' XELLERATE.ADAPTERS - Class/Method: tcAdpEvent/updateDataSetValuePost encounter some problems: Adapter Execution Error: updateDataObjFieldValuePost: error updating UD_OID_USR_DATE_OF_BIRTH
ERROR [ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '0' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)' XELLERATE.ADAPTERS - Class/Method: tcAdpEvent/updateDataSetValuePost encounter some problems: {1}
Can anyone suggest any method to update date field on process form?

Hi Abhi,
Can you tell me how you have implemented populating an UDF based on Prepopulation of another UDF. I have a similar kind of requirement. It would be great if you share your code or relevant part of it.

Updating data in the database table

Can any help me in the code for updating data in the database table.
Regards,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
A slightly longer procedure that i'm adding here...
1.) Create the component (i'm sure you have this covered)
2.) Next on the button click that updates the database - add an action.
3.) double click the action so that you are taken to the methods section of the view.
4.) next you need to add the code that is required the update the database - this will be in the form of the above two posts.
5.) compile and test the application
Let me know in case you need further information on how to do this with a function module or something.
Thanks.

Ideal way to update a field in a table

Hi All,
We need to update a field in a table which have some 8 million records.
The value of the field needs to be updated in all the above mentioned records.
Now, we have an input file with all the primary key fields and the field to be updated.
Can any one suggest the ideal way to update the field.
1.     Updating the database for each record.
Loop at itab.
Update.
Endloop.
2.     Updating the database with a set of 100 records.
We are planning to schedule the job in the background.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Krishna

Hi,
be very carefull with the update, ´cause you can damage 8 million records !!
You better use instruction Update for this:
update mytable set field = value where conditions.
Try to use all key fields in the conditions and never use something like
update mytable set: field1 = value1
                    field2 = value2
                    field3 = value3 where conditions.
The loop in your case 1 is not absolutely necessary, ´cause you update a whole bunch of records at once with the conditions in Update.
Test the changes in the development system before you do it in production
