Updating table column

Hi All,
How can I update the column of a table?
More precisely, I am having a table with five rows and five columns and I already put values
in all by using the program.When user clicks a button, I have to show different values in
each cells of my last column.
Thanks
priya.

Hi Priya,
Lets say that you have a view controller's context structure as follows...
YBAPI_INPUT
|_OUTPUT
|_TABLE_NODE
    |_COLUMN1
    |_COLUMN2
    |_COLUMN3
    |_COLUMN4
    |_COLUMN5
The follwoing code will help you in accessing values in the last row.
for (int i = 0; i < wdContext.nodeYBAPI_INPUT().nodeOUTPUT().nodeTABLE_NODE().size(); i++) {
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(wdContext.nodeYBAPI_INPUT().nodeOUTPUT().nodeTABLE_NODE().getTABLE_NODEElementAt(i).setCOLUMN5("SET NEW VALUE HERE"));
Hope this helps.

Updating Table Columns Dynamically

Hi Everybody,
I have created the following procedure to update table columns, which are having 'N/A' to Null.
PROCEDURE PRC_UPDATE_NA_TO_NULL (p_owner all_tables.owner%TYPE, p_table_name all_tables.table_name%TYPE DEFAULT NULL)

EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
ROLLBACK;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(SQLCODE||':'||SQLERRM);
END;
The problem I am facing is that the Execute Immediate statement is not working. I have used the Execute Immediate statement in 3 different ways given in the above procedure, but none of them works and the error comes to the Exception section.
Kindly let me have your solutions.
Thanks in advance,
MAK

This approach can be dangerous. You are currently trying to update all columns in the tables to null if any of the columns are 'N/A'. Your query does not exclude external tables which may not be updatable. Your other query does not exclude data types that can not include 'N/A' such as number. You might want to move your commit outside the loop as you may end up committing partial updates.
You might try to capture the SQL that you are generating;
create table t(col2 varchar2(4000));Then in your package;
insert into t values(v_sql_stmt);
-- EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_sql_stmt;

Automatically updating table column in OBIEE

Hi folks,
I have a requirement for say i have to update a table column based on a condition, but this update should happen on daily basis (i mean it should be scheduled once daily) by checking if any records in that column meets the condition then update it
example :- column='Pending' then update it with 'Approved' . As transactions records comes on daily into the table.OBIEE should check and update the row so next time it doesnt show this row as 'Pending' .
I have thought of 2 approaches for this
1) Through writeback it is possible to update but manually ( the issue is it cant be automated or scheduled on daily basis and update multiple records on a go)
2) Writing a stored procedure or function for update, but how can i accomplish this procedure to be scheduled or run once daily.how to use it?
Any thoughts on the above two points or any method you guys can think off.
Any help is appreciated !
Cheers,
KK

Kranthi,
This shud be easy...
- Create a direct database request...with Update Statement
eg: Update table set col = 'Approved' where col = 'Pending'
- Create an ibot using the above DDR and schedule it on daily basis.
This will update the full table with new value on daily basis based on the condition

Update table column with same auto-increment value, via T-SQL stored procedure

Good Evening to every one,
I have a table 'Contracts' as we can see in the picture below (I exported my data on An Excel Spreadsheet). Table's primary key is 'ID' column.
I am trying to create a stored procedure (i.e. updContractNum), through which I am going to update the 'Contract_Num' column, in every row where the values on Property_Code, Customer, Cust_Category and Amnt ARE EQUAL, as we can see in the schema above.
The value of Contract_Num is a combination of varchar and auto_increment (integer). For example, the next value on 'Contract number' column will be 'CN0005' for the combination of 11032-14503-02-1450,00
I' m trying to use CURSORS for this update but I am new in using cursors and I am stuck in whole process. I atttach my code below:
CREATE PROCEDURE updContractNum
AS
--declare the variables
DECLARE @CONTRACT_NUM VARCHAR(10); -- Contract Number. The value that will be updated on the table.
DECLARE @CONTRACT INTEGER; -- Contract number, the auto increment section on contract number
DECLARE @CONTR_ROW VARCHAR(200); -- Contract row. The row elements that will be using on cursor
DECLARE CONTRACT_CURSOR CURSOR FOR -- Get the necessary fields from table
SELECT PROPERTY_CODE, CUSTOMER, CUST_CATEGORY, AMNT
FROM CONTRACTS;
OPEN CONTRACT_CURSOR -- open a cursor
FETCH NEXT FROM CONTRACT_CURSOR INTO @CONTR_ROW
WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 -- execute the update, for every row of the tabl
BEGIN
--update Contract_Num, using the format coding : contract_number = 'CN' + 0001
UPDATE CONTRACTS
SET CONTRACT_NUM = 'CN'+@CONTRACT_NUM+1
END
CLOSE CONTRACT_CURSOR
Thank you in advance!

You dont need cursor
You can simply use an update statement like this
UPDATE t
SET Contract_Num = 'CN' + RIGHT('00000' + CAST(Rnk AS varchar(5)),5)
FROM
SELECT Contract_Num,
DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY Property_Code,Customer,Cust_category,Amnt) AS Rnk
FROM table
)t

I have a table, need to update one field at the specified time every night,how can I achieve that
using trigger or PL/SQL?
Thanks a lot!!!

Hi,
You can schedule routines (jobs) to be run periodically using the job queue. For more details on creating jobs, here is the documentation link:

Update table column from another

Hi,
I´m having trouble updating data from one table to another. I wish to syncronize the geometry field of the table FAROLFAROLIM from FAROLFAROLIM_OUT. By standard SQL I've tried this:
update FAROLFAROLIM f, FAROLFAROLIM_OUT ff set f.GEOM = ff.GEOMETRY
where f.IDFAROLFAROLIM = ff.IDFAROLFAROLIM
Can you help me figuring out what is wrong???
Thanks in advance
Operator

dude you are doing wrong thing...
please use following command.
UPDATE FAROLFAROLIM f
SET (f.GEOM) =
( SELECT ff.GEOMETRY
FROM FAROLFAROLIM_OUT ff
WHERE f.IDFAROLFAROLIM = ff.IDFAROLFAROLIM );

Update table a columns using columns from table b (values of 2 columns of table b need to taken from table c)

Guys,
I need to update table A columns col3, col4, col5 and col6 by table b columns col3, col4, col5 and col6 however table b col5 and col6 values need to come from table c col1.
Means table b col5 and col6 have values in it however i need to replace them with value from table c col1 and need to update table a col5 and col6 accordingly.
table a and table b has col1 and col2 in common.
i am trying something like this.
Update a
a.col3 = b.col3,
a.col4 = b.col4,
a.col5 = (select col1 from table_c c where c.col2=b.col5),
a.col6 = (select col1 from table_c c where c.col2=b.col6)
from table_A a inner join table_b
on a.col1=b.col1 and a.col2=b.col2
can someone help me reframe above update query?
thanks in advance for your help.

Try the below:(If you have multiple values, then you may need to use TOP 1 as commented code in the below script)
create Table tableA(Col1 int,Col2 int,Col3 int,Col4 int,Col5 int,Col6 int)
Insert into tableA values(1,2,3,4,5,6)
create Table tableB(Col1 int,Col2 int,Col3 int,Col4 int,Col5 int,Col6 int)
Insert into tableB values(1,2,30,40,50,60)
create Table tableC(Col1 int,Col2 int,Col3 int,Col4 int,Col5 int,Col6 int)
Insert into tableC values(100,50,30,40,2,2)
--Insert into tableC values(200,50,30,40,2,2)
Insert into tableC values(100,60,30,40,2,2)
Select * From tablea
Update a Set
a.col3 = b.col3,
a.col4 = b.col4,
a.col5 = (select col1 from tablec c where c.col2=b.col5 ),
a.col6 = (select col1 from tablec c where c.col2=b.col6 )
from tableA a inner join tableb b
on a.col1=b.col1 and a.col2=b.col2
--Update a Set
--a.col3 = b.col3,
--a.col4 = b.col4,
--a.col5 = (select Top 1 col1 from tablec c where c.col2=b.col5 Order by c.Col1 asc),
--a.col6 = (select Top 1 col1 from tablec c where c.col2=b.col6 Order by c.Col1 asc)
--from tableA a inner join tableb b
--on a.col1=b.col1 and a.col2=b.col2
Select * From tablea
Drop table tablea,Tableb,TableC

Getting errors when updating a column on a table having a primary key

Hi,
I have an application on Oracle APEX that raises the following error after an attempt (through the application) to update a column with no specific constraint on it:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 17: PL/SQL: ORA-00936: missing expression ORA-06550: line 1, column 9: PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignoredUnable to fetch row.
The involved table has a primary key conatraint and the corresponding column can be populated by a sequence (but there is no trigger to manipulate the sequence).
The sequence is mentioned in the involved page definition for populating the primary key.
If I disable the primry key and set to null the corresponding value for the primary of the record to be updated, then it is possible to update that record (thus the above column) through the application.
Did someone encountered this situation before?
If yes, what was then your workaround/solution?
Kind Regards.

Dear user8058501 ,
Firstly) Did you check
Auto Row Fetch (After upgrade to 4.0.1)
Automated Row Fetch on Table with Synonym causes ORA-00936: missing expr.
Secondly) If the problem is not resolved, Would you provide a sample on apex.oracle.com with workspace/developer account to be able to help you
Please, if this solves your question, mark it as Correct. Otherwise as helpful.

Update table based on ID reference comparing each column and value

Hi,
Through UI user can update any information and click save. In backend i will be receiving only ID as reference . Based on the ID value i should update multiple tables wherever i have the reference tables. Here i will not get the values or column name updated.
I just get a ID to find which row is updated.
I should do a comparision now.
I have a history table where i get the row before updation. and i get a row after updation from current data i.e. from ssdb_Railroad[This will be updated by java after updation we will get the ID inorder to update remaining tables]. Now i need to compare
both the table column values and know which column is updated and after getting the value i should update reference tables.
Below is the structure for comparision table , History table and Main table.
Create table Comparision_History (
ID int IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
InsertUser_UpdateUser varchar(50),
Old_ColVal varchar(100),
New_ColVal varchar(100),
TableName varchar(100),
[Action] varchar(50),
InsertDate_UpdateDate Datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT getdate()
CREATE TABLE SSDB_Railroad_History (
ID int IDENTITY PRIMARY KEY,
SCAC varchar(4) ,
Name varchar(50) NOT NULL,
RailroadID int NOT NULL UNIQUE,
RC2Key
varchar(50),
NOTES varchar(1000),
[Action] varchar(50),
InsertDate_UpdateDate Datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT getdate(),
InsertUser_UpdateUser varchar(50),
CREATE TABLE SSDB_Railroad (
ID int IDENTITY(1,1)PRIMARY KEY,
SCAC varchar(4) UNIQUE,
Name varchar(50) NOT NULL,
RailroadID int NOT NULL UNIQUE,
RC2Key
varchar(50),
InsertDate Datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT getdate(),
UpdateDate Datetime,
InsertUser varchar(50),
UpdateUser varchar(50)
Here SSDB_Railroad table and History table needs to be compared and get a updated value and it should be inserted in a comparision table. as well as it should be updated in reference tables.
Please help me with the code.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Deepa_Deepu,
According to your description, personally, the merge function can meet your requirements. Usually, we can synchronize two tables by updating or inserting rows in a target table based on differences found in the source tables. Just as your description, when
the value of ID and InsertDate_UpdateDate in the source table matches a value, update them in the target table. When the values does not match, the source row is inserted into the target table.
For more information, see: using MERGE to perform UPDATE and INSERT operations on a target table by using a derived source table.

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

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?

Updating a column from other table

Hi all,
I have a simple update query problem. I have four tables
activist(activist_id,first_name,last_name,c_state),
membership(activist_id,g_n_id),
group_network(g_n_id,g_n_type_id),
school_grop_det(g_n_id,state). For some records in activist table the c_state column is null, i want to update that column with state column of school_group_det table.
Here is the query for the states which are null
select distinct a.activist_id,a.first_name,a.last_name,
a.c_state,sd.state from activist a,membership m,
group_network g,school_group_det sd where
a.activist_id=m.activist_id and g.g_n_id=m.g_n_id and
g.g_n_id=sd.g_N_id and a.c_state is null and g.g_n_type_id='1001'
order by a.activist_id
I got the activist_id,first_name,last_name,c_state from activist and state from school_group_det. now i as i told you want to update the c_state with state column of school_group_Det table.
Pleae any one help me

Update A Column In A Database Table.

I am unable to update a column in a database table.
For example; I have ten records in an EMP table without having any EMPNO. I want to UPDATE (insert) 10 different EMPNO in a table. How can I do it? All I know is that there are ten records in the table; this means that I cannot use a WHERE clause with different criteria for each row.
Thanks.

How to find out to find by which procedure a table column was updated

Hi All,
We have an attribute10 column of a table used in a DFF.
This attribute is being updated for a specific reason in a code, but some other procedure is also updating the same column which is causing issue with the functionality. The update might be using an API or some other way.
Can anyone help me with a query or some other way to in find out the procedures which might be updating a particular column (attibute10) of that table.
Regards,
Shruti

Shruti,
If you can replicate in non-production environment, one way is to create an update trigger on the table/column,and have the trigger do something with any environmental info you can query (select SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV','OS_USER'), etc.) and write it using utl_file or insert it into a custom table. Perhaps have the trigger enable trace, query the above and disable trace.

Dynamic update of column with values derived by formula on other table.

i have 3 tables; table A,B and C
table A has two columns (id and Quantity), based on the id value, the quantity value is computed using a formula on two rows (one from table B and the other from C).
the formula is different for each id value.
but after every month the quantity value has to be updated (because tables B & C get updated monthly).
example. given id=1, quantity= select round((sum(h.col1)/sum(p.col1), 2) from B p, C h
given id=2, quantity=select round((sum(col1)/sum(col3)), 2) from C
so for every id the quantity is derived by a different formula, but the quantity value has to be recomputed every month.
need help.

1. update table a
quantity = decode (id,1, <formul1>, id,2 , formula 2...)
2. if you wanto schedule this as monthly task
use dbms_job.submit
send the above query to "What" parameter.

How to update 2 columns on table A with 2 cols in table B

Hi all,
I am confused when updating more that 1 cols from tableB to tableA.
Single column is easy as this:
update TableA set col1 = (select col1 from TableB where ssno=100)
where ssno=100;
But for 2 column updates, I can not do this:
update TableA set (col1,col2) = (select col1,col2 from TableB where ssno=100)
where ssno=100;
Please help,
Thanks a lot,

Hi,
as far as the following subquery:
select col1,col2 from TableB where ssno=100
{code}
is returning only one row your statement:
{code:sql}
update TableA set (col1,col2) = (select col1,col2 from TableB where ssno=100)
where ssno=100;
{code}
is valid.
By the way, you can avoid repeating ssno=100 2 times in this way:
{code:sql}
update TableA A set (col1,col2) = (select col1,col2 from TableB where ssno=A.ssno)
where ssno=100;
{code}
