Using insert command in NVL function

How can we use insert command in a NVL function
exapmle : INSERT INTO employee
VALUES ( (NVL ( (SELECT emp_id
FROM employee
WHERE emp_name LIKE 'Test'),
(insert into employee values((select max(emp_id)+1 from employee),'Test')))));
I mean i will check for the record to exist in the table and if not exist i will add it to the table.

max(emp_id) +1A real bad piece of code. Never do that. Ever thought about multi user environment? Use a SEQUENCE.
If you want EMP_NAME to be unique (Which looks strange to me), then just add a UNIQUE constraint. You dont try to do what oracle already does really well.

Thank you. it was my careless mistake. i changed that mistake. but still it is not working, get same exception.

st = con.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO TimeSheet VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?)");
st.setString(1,user);
st.setString(2,date);
st.setString(3,intime);
st.setString(4,outtime);
st.setString(5,duration);
st.setString(6,descrip);

Using SET DATEFIRST inside a function to call into a view

Hi,
I need to use the statement SET DATEFIRST inside a function. This operation is not available, but I need to use this command into a function to call inside a view.
How can I solve this issue?
Thanks

Eventually you will learn 2 very important things. First, the term "working day" has no absolute definition and varies by country, organization, culture, etc. Second is that circumstances will occur that change what should be considered a working
day to a non-working day (or vice versa). While you might attempt to create logic that "forecasts" whether a given date in the future is a working day, you cannot apply that logic to past dates. The best solution is to create a calendar table for
this purpose - some forum/internet searching will find many different variations.

How to use Insert for mulit-values

Can anyone help, I try to insert mulit-values using insert command. but keep getting error. here is the code.
INSERT INTO PRODUCTS
VALUES (
'C','CABLE',39.95,
'D','DSL',29.95,
'U','DIALUP_56K',19.95);
Thank you!

The SQL you posted isn't valid, assuming that there are only three columns in your table. The type of insert statement you posted can only insert 1 row at a time.
You could look into loading data into collections and using the bulk insert syntax to insert multiple values in a single statement. Please post to the PL/SQL forum if you need more assistance on this.

How to overcome Dump during Insert Command

Hi Abappers,
When I am trying to upload the text file into the Database,
I am using Insert command using internal table.
When the record exist, it gives dump saying duplicate records.
How to convert that dump into the error message?
Please Reply.
Regards,
Rahul

Rahul,
Insert FROM TABLE itab [ACCEPTING DUPLICATE KEYS]
Effect
If you specify an internal table itab, several rows are created from its content for insertion in the database table. A row for insertion into the table is taken from each row of the internal table according to the same rules as for a single work area Einfügenwa. The line type of the internal table has to meet the prerequisites for use in Open-SQL statements.
If a row witht he same primary key or a same unique secondary index does not already exist in the database table for any of the rows to be inserted, all rows are inserted and sy-subrc is set to 0. If the internal table is empty, sy-subrc is also set to 0. The system field sy-dbcnt is always set to the number of rows that were actually inserted.
If a row with the same primary key or a same unique secondary index already exists in the database table for one or more of the rows to be inserted, these rows cannot be inserted. In this situation, there are three possibilities:
Use of ACCEPTING DUPLICATE KEYS
If the addition ACCEPTING DUPLICATE KEYS is specified, all rows are inserted for which this is possible. The remaining rows are rejected and sy-subrc is set to 4. The system field sy-dbcnt is set to the number of lines that are inserted.
Handling an exception
If the addition ACCEPTING DUPLICATE KEYS is not specified, a treatable exception occurs CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB (it always occurs since Release 6.10). Rows are inserted until the exception occurs. The number of rows that are inserted is not defined. The system fields sy-subrc and sy-dbcnt retain their previous value.
Runtime error
If the addition ACCEPTING DUPLICATE KEYS is not specified and if the exception is not handled, then a runtime error occurs (it always occurs prior to Release 6.10). This executes a database rollback that reverses all changes to the current database LUW. This applies in particular to rows that were inserted before a double entry occurred.
i would also suggest you to see SAP help by pressing F1 because some time may we miss but SAP never.

To check a record for existence in dbtable before using insert

Hi Experts:
My problem is that i have defined a foreign key in the Z database table and if i create entries directly through SE11, the check executes finely, but is i use insert command through module pool, all the entries are saved and the foreign key check is not executed.
Eg I want to check the plant entry in T001w, if it is there, only then that record should be saved, otherwise error message that please check your entry,
Is there any possiblity without using internal table.
Can we read through dbtable as we can in case of internal table?
Best Regards, Neetu

You could do a select single from T001W before you Insert into your Z table to see if the entry exists. However, if you are doing multiple inserts it is more efficient to do a single load of the T001W records into an internal table, sort it and da a read using binary search.
I think T001W is fully buffered (a lot of these type of tables are) so the select is going to be reasonably efficient.

Need Help Can i use Merge command along with exist function in oracle?

I am using Merge command to update the destination table and updating the rows which are already in the destination table.
But what i want is to delete the existing rows from the destination table and insert fresh rows instead of updating the existing rows in the destination table.
So can we use exist function to check the existing rows and delete them and use merge command to insert the rows in the table.

You definitely need to do a DELETE then INSERT since MERGE will not delete rows, although I'm not really sure what that gets you since the net effect would be the same as a MERGE over the same pair of tables.
If you really want to do it this way, then I would likely do something like:
DELETE FROM target_table
WHERE (columns_you_would_match_on) IN (SELECT columns_you_would_match_on
FROM source_table
WHERE predicate_you_would_use_in_using);
INSERT INTO target_table (column_list)
SELECT column_list
FROM source_table
WHERE predicate_you_would_use_in_using;John

Binding problem when using NVL function

Hello.
I have a problem with my ADF application (11.1.2.1).
I use VO with a query (database view) - pivot table.
If i use where clause like table.attr = :p_attr, everything works ok.
If i use where clause like table.attr = NVL (:p_attr, table.attr) and put a value in :p_attr (executeWithParam) , query executes as if there is a null value.
Debug console shows:
Binding null of type 12 for "p_attr".
Query with NVL works ok in sqldeveloper.
But in jdev, as if the table attribute isn't bind to bind variable.
If a just remove NVL function, it works.
Any idea?
Thanks.
Regards
Edited by: DejanH on Oct 6, 2011 1:32 PM

Hello.
I enter 50 in p_depart parameter and click "ExecuteWithParams". Query is executed and shows records (pivot table).
But if i look at the log window i see that an empty query was executed first.
<OracleSQLBuilderImpl> <bindParamValue> [427] Binding null of type 12 for "p_depart"
<OracleSQLBuilderImpl> <bindParamValue> [428] Binding null of type 12 for "p_job"
<OracleSQLBuilderImpl> <bindParamValue> [429] Binding null of type 12 for "p_hire_od"
<OracleSQLBuilderImpl> <bindParamValue> [430] Binding null of type 12 for "p_hire_do"
Then, it is autoexecuted for the second time with parameter set to the value i inserted.
<OracleSQLBuilderImpl> <bindParamValue> [470] Binding param "p_depart": 50
<OracleSQLBuilderImpl> <bindParamValue> [471] Binding null of type 12 for "p_job"
<OracleSQLBuilderImpl> <bindParamValue> [472] Binding null of type 12 for "p_hire_od"
<OracleSQLBuilderImpl> <bindParamValue> [473] Binding null of type 12 for "p_hire_do"
The same happens in our query. But ours is much more complex and it takes a lot of time to first execute "empty" query and then with inserted parameter.
We cannot use it.
It looks like bug.

Using textboxes in insert command

This query returns data when run in sqlplus.When used in a Pro*C C program and compiled the precompiler complains with syntax errors when used with EXEC SQL DECLARE CLSS82D_CURSOR CURSOR FOR < query above >.However removing the NVL function and retaining the subselect clause compiles but that is not what I want to do.

The symbol "(" was substituted for "MAX" to continue.

Pro*C works bit differently tha sqlplus. try removing the blank line after
SELECT MAX(G.ID_STAGE_PERSON_LINK)
FROM STAGE_PERSON_LINK G
WHERE G.ID_PERSON=C.ID_PERSON
AND G.ID_CASE = C.ID_CASE
AND G.CD_STAGE_PERS_TYPE = 'PRN')
good luck,
