Using insert statement

Hi Guy's,
Please friends help me where i did mistake.
table1 contain 20 fields. using Function module want to updagte the table contain 12 fields.
In FM-importing parameters are 12 fields.
data : wa_output type table1.
move : field1 to wa_output-zfield1,
field2 to wa_output-zfield2. .......upto field12.
here using insert statement.
insert into table1 values wa_output.
But here wa_out contain values are not inserted into table1.
Why what is the reason.
please friends clarify my doubt.
Thanks,
Sai.

Hi,
First of all, your work area must have the fields in the same order as your table. Otherwise, you might be inserting character value against a number field. So, even if you have values for only 12 fields, try to put space for the remaining fields. Note: Work Area fields must be in the same order as table fields.
Thanks
Ramesh

Problem using insert statement....?

I am facing problem while using insert statement.
It is not updating the database table though the same code is working very well on another server.
Please tell what could be the problem.......?

Hi Vijendra ,
You need to check few parameters while creating the table
1. Table Manitainance
2.Buffering
Also , as per you , if ur insert statement is working perfectly fine in another serve..
, it is highlt possible that table created has 'mandt ' filed , which means this table is client dependent.
Also , another reason is that , you may not this table at all in the new server .
So , check onall thiese parameters.
Ihope this solves ur problem.
Regards.

Using insert statements for creating objects..pls help

Hello all,
I have 2 databases DB1 (which is running on 8i) and DB2( Running on 10G).
How can I copy all the objects of a particular schema (user1) from DB1 to DB2, only by using INSERT statements. I do not want to use import/export since it is taking huge time for the operation.
Could anybody help me on this?
Regards,
chotu

Since I have allready imported indexes,procedures etc , now I need only to copy tables from DB1 to DB2.
I have truncated all the tables of user1 in DB2
Now I am using,
insert into my_tab as select * from user1.my_tab@DB2_db_link;
Thanks for the help...

Using System::ErrorDescription in Insert statement

Hello,
I want to insert System::ErrorDescription to store the error in the customized log table. When I use the following statement, it does not insert anything. What am i doing wrong. Please advice.
create table dbo.load_err(load_err_id integer(PK),load_err_Dtl,loadtime)
INSERT INTO dbo.LOAD_ERR (LOAD_ERR_ID,
LOAD_ERR_DTL,
loadtime)
VALUES (NEXT VALUE FOR dbo.LOAD_ERR_SEQ,
@[System::ErrorDescription] ,
getdate())
I see the row inserted but nothing in the Load_ERR_DTL column.

Where are you using the insert statement? The ErrorDescription variable is only available inside OnError,OnWarning and OnInformation event handlers
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-IN/library/ms141788.aspx
Also you need to use insert statement as below
INSERT INTO dbo.LOAD_ERR (LOAD_ERR_ID,
LOAD_ERR_DTL,
loadtime)
VALUES (NEXT VALUE FOR dbo.LOAD_ERR_SEQ,
getdate())
and map parameter0 to @[System::ErrorDescription] in parameters tab
another way is to set SQLSourceType
as Variable and set a variable for the query with below expression as
"INSERT INTO dbo.LOAD_ERR (LOAD_ERR_ID,
LOAD_ERR_DTL,
loadtime)
VALUES (NEXT VALUE FOR dbo.LOAD_ERR_SEQ,'" +
@[System::ErrorDescription] + "',
getdate())"

        When i am using insert statement it inserts only the last record. I am snding my piece of code here. Please any one suggest me on this.

   wa_tab-wdatu = s_ltap-wdatu.
   wa_tab-matnr = s_ltap-matnr.
   wa_tab-maktx = s_ltap-maktx.

endloop.
loop at it_tab into wa_tab.
insert ztab_ltap from wa_tab.
endloop.
       Thanks in Advance....
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
Accepting duplicates will not work with area, that is the reason it is throwing an error:
Try like this :
loop at t_ltap into s_ltap.
wa_tab-lgort = s_ltap-lgort.
wa_tab-wdatu = s_ltap-wdatu.
wa_tab-matnr = s_ltap-matnr.
wa_tab-maktx = s_ltap-maktx.
wa_tab-nsola = s_ltap-nsola.
wa_tab-text = s_ltap-text.
append wa_tab to it_tab.
clear wa_tab.
endloop.
INSERT <ztablename> FROM TABLE it_tab.

Bsp-insert statement

hi,
we are trying to insert values into data base table using insert statement.but we are unable to do it with normal insert statement is there any other way to do this if so please suggest us.and pleae tell us why the normal insert statement is not working.

What exactly is not working? Do you get a short dump or some sort of message? If you try and insert a record that is already present in the table, than this would result in an error.
Please add some additional info about your error / statement you are using for insert.
Kind regards,
Micky.

Agent job step - using print statement in tsql step doesnt show up

I want to execute a procedure, then use print to write a short message into the job history. The step executes fine, but the message doesnt show up in the history.
print 'hello'
what gives?

PRINT command is not intended to be used for writing into the history. If you need such information, you may have a special log table and write into it using insert statement.
Alternatively, you may google on writing to text file from SQL Server, but I would not recommend that approach.

Using the Insert statement in a Java program without hardcoding the data

hello.
this is james mcfadden. i have developed a program called Demo.java, which is used with another program called QueryTableModel.java (a program that allows data to be viewed in a JTable). The Demo.java program displays a menu, connects to a database, allows the user to add data into the database and allows the user to view data that is already in the database. I have a problem with the Demo.java program. I have hardcoded the Insert statement in it. How do you use the Insert statement to put data into a database without hardcoding the data?

Using sql:variable in an insert statement

I'm writing an insert statement for a table with an XML column. Most of the XML is static, but I need to replace the value of an element with the value of a T-SQL variable, as shown here:
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[OrderDetail](
[OrderID] [int] NULL,
[OrderDetail] [xml] NULL
GO
DECLARE @XMLData XML;
DECLARE @ItemID INT;
SET @ItemID = 1000;
SELECT @XMLData = N'
<OrderDetail xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
</OrderDetail>
SET @XMLData.modify('insert <ItemID>[sql:variable("@ItemID")]</ItemID> into (/OrderDetail)[1]')
INSERT INTO [dbo].[OrderDetail] ([OrderID], [OrderDetail])
VALUES (@ItemID, @XMLData);
When I run this, it inserts "[sql:variable("@ItemID")]" instead of the value of @ItemID. If someone could show me the proper syntax, I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Yes, that worked. Now I want to change it a little. I also have an attribute that I need to update with the value of a variable.
DECLARE @XMLData XML;
DECLARE @SetID INT;
DECLARE @SetIDStr VARCHAR(12);
DECLARE @SetIDXML XML;
SET @SetID = 9999;
SET @SetIDStr = CONVERT(VARCHAR(12), @SetID);
SET @SetIDXML = CONVERT(XML, @SetIDStr);
SELECT @XMLData = N'
<OrderDetail xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<ItemID>1000</ItemID>
<RightOperand ID="15524" Name="ItemName" Value="15524" />
</OrderDetail>
SET @XMLData.modify('replace value of (/OrderDetail/RightOperand/@ID)[1] with sql:variable("@SetIDXML")');
INSERT INTO [dbo].[OrderDetail] ([OrderID], [OrderDetail])
VALUES (@SetID, @XMLData);
SELECT * FROM [dbo].[OrderDetail];
I'm trying to replace "ID="15524"" with the value of @SetID. This code throws an exception:
Msg 9342, Level 16, State 1, Line 23
XQuery [modify()]: An XML instance is only supported as the direct source of an insert using sql:column/sql:variable.
Thanks again for your help.

Use session state values to set column value during insert/update

I am building an APEX 4.2 application that uses the canned Data Loading control to upload csv data to a table. I have modified the 'Select Data Source' page of the workflow and it now contains three LOV's that the user selects values from. The selected values are stored in Session State. As I'm new to APEX, I do not know how to reference Session State objects in the context of the Data Loading workflow so that the appropriate columns are set with the correct values. My assumption is that the columns that are apart of the insert statement reside in a collection somewhere. I just don't know how to loop through the collection, determine the correct column, and then set that column's value equal to the corresponding LOV value in Session State.

Scott,
This is in version 2.2.1 and there are no caching features available.
The application does require login.
I'm playing around with the APP_UNIQUE_PAGE_ID right now but I am finding that even in the builder if I edit the attributes of a report column and then try to edit another column it will bring up the last column I edited. Even if I use the record navigation buttons next to the Apply Changes button it will keep bringing me the same page over and over unless I constantly refresh the pages.

Using sqlerrm in insert statement in 10g

Hi,
I do not have 10g to test the following snippet, which tries to use sqlerrm in an insert statement:
-- start testcase
drop table tbl;
drop table err;
create table tbl (x number);
create table err (a number, b varchar2(4000));
declare
n_tmp   tbl.x%type;
begin
select x into n_tmp from tbl;
exception
when others then
    -- the line below works in 9i
    -- dbms_output.put_line('Sqlerrm: '||sqlerrm);
    -- but the insert statement doesn't work in 9i, how about 10g ?
    insert into err(a,b) values (1,sqlerrm);
    commit;
end;
declare
n_tmp   tbl.x%type;
begin
select x into n_tmp from tbl;
exception
when others then
    -- the line below works in 9i
    -- dbms_output.put_line('Sqlerrm: '||sqlerrm);
    -- the insert statement works in 9iR2 but the error message is
    -- not the one sought, how about 10g ?
    insert into err(a,b) values (1,sys.standard.sqlerrm);
    commit;
end;
/Can someone test it on any release/edition of 10g please ?
The tests on 9iR2 below behave predictably:

Use of case in an insert statement...

Hi ,
i have an insert statement in a db packaged procedure which needs a case statement to be used.....
I want to use the case in a statement like the following...
insert into x(a,b,c,d,e)
values(a,b,case b='1' then c_val , d_val , null else null , null , e_val);
In other words when the b_value (b column) has value '1' (in the example above) then the values for c , d columns of the tables are those passed as parameters to the procedure . On the other hand , when the the b_value (b column) has not value '1' then the values for c , d columns of the tables should be null and the on the e column another value passed as parameter to the procedure....????
Is the above general syntax of insert correct...????
Many thanks,
Simon

Something like this could do the trick:
insert into x
            (a, b, c, d, e)
     values (a,
             b,
             case
                when b = '1'
                   then c_val
             end,
             case
                when b = '1'
                   then d_val
             end,
             case
                when b = '1'
                   then null
                else e_val
             end
            );
