View-Update in forms with Instead-Of trigger

I has created a view and an Instead-Of trigger on that view.
Now, I want to update this view in FORMS 6. I am unable to update this view and getting error FRM-40602.
Is there any way to update this view updatable in FORMS6 or FORMS6 has not this feature?

Hi,
This has been acknowledged by Oracle as bug earlier. The work-around for this is as follows:
1. Create table 1
2. Create table 2
3. Create view
4. Create instead of insert trigger on view
5. Create instead of update trigger on view
6. Now, in the forms, go to the Block property
7. Look for the 'Key mode' property. By default it is 'Automatic'. Set it to Updateable (If your database design supports updating primary keys) or Unique (preferable).
8. Now run the form. It should work.
All the best.

    Also it would be great if you can share Sample codes for Invoking an updatable view with instead of trigger on Save/commit.

    As a trigger is executed in the db and not in your app it's really hard to help as you did not give any useful information.
    Have you read this blog http://stegemanoracle.blogspot.com/2006/03/using-updatable-views-with-adf.html ?

  • How to create ADF BC components like EO from  "View with INSTEAD OF trigger

    I have a "View with INSTEAD OF trigger" on a external schema. is it possible to create ADF EO on top of this view in my local schema?. If possible, then is it possible to insert/update that external table using ADF standard data controls and Application module?. I'm trying to see if it's possible with standard ADF controls without calling pl/sql API to insert/update that external table. any ideas are appreciated.

  • Issue with Instead of Trigger

    Hi everyone,
    I have a view v_test . Created one instead of trigger over it. When I try to insert over the view it is throwing an error like' ORA-00036: maximum number of recursive SQL levels (50) exceeded' . Please help me how to over come from this.
    Please find the below DDL Stmts;
    CREATE TABLE test (id NUMBER,

    Thanks in Advance !!
    Thanks,

    Vissu,
    One and main scenario of mutating table error is depicted by your code only. You have created instead of Insert Trigger on view, within which again you are trying to insert on the same view i.e. you are trying to perform DML on a view which is already under transition state.
    Actually, Oracle tries hard to do the task. No of attempts is the value specified for "session_cached_cursors" (which is 50 here), but fails finally to recognise the table/view state, so throws the exception ORA-00036.
    In your case, instead of trigger was not required. You must understand the purpose of Instead of triggers. They are used when Multiple Tables build a view, and a DML on the view required data insertion in multiple tables. In above case, only one table is involved, so instead of trigger is not required. DML on your view can insert only in TEST table.
    But in above case, handle this by avoiding the DML(Insert) on the view inside the instead of insert trigger.
    Your purpose by insert on the view is to insert into TEST table only. So inside Instead of trigger,you can directly insert into table.
    Hope it is clear now !!

    you might try to grant the views to the FLOWS_xxxxx user, which performs the Apex processes.

  • View with Instead of Trigger - ORA-01031

    I am having trouble with a form based on a view that uses an instead of trigger.
    When I attempt to update a complex view that uses instead of triggers in an APEX form, I get the following message:
    ORA-20001: Error in DML: p_rowid=21388, ... ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
    The view works correctly when updates are executed from SQL Plus.
    The view "VW" is based on several tables in the application schema "X", which is parsed by APEX, and several tables in another schema "Z". I have explicitly granted select permission on the tables in schema "Z" to schema "X", but this doesn't resolve the error.
    Any idea how to fix this problem? From reading other posts, it sounds like the only issue should be explicit grants on the tables in other schemas. I do not attempt to update the tables in schema "Z", and do not have update permissions to those tables.
    Sinerely, Justin

  • Issue with instead of trigger on a view

    Gurus,
    I have an issue with an instead of trigger on a view. The trigger is listed below. The insert and update seem to be working fine but the delete section is not.
    From the application, we have a screen on which we attach images. We trigger of an insert and update when we attach images. We are using hibernate as our object relational mapping tool.
    We have added some logging into the delete section but that portion of the trigger does not seem to be executing at all.
    Please advise.

  • Need help with INSTEAD OF trigger on view

    Hi,
    I am trying to use INSTEAD OF on a view because I will be updating the calling table in my trigger, which will cause mutation. 
    I need to update attribute7 of another record based on the new attribute7 of the current record (record being updated in the form).  Below is my script.  My problem is it does not perform the update. 
    create or replace view xxont_oe_order_lines_vw as select * from oe_order_lines_all;
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER APPS.xxont_sync_ard
    instead of insert or update on xxont_oe_order_lines_vw
    referencing
    new as new
    old as old
    for each row
    begin
       update oe_order_lines_all
           set attribute7 = :new.attribute7
       where attribute18 = to_char(:new.header_id)
          and attribute17 = to_char(:new.line_id)
          and flow_status_code <> 'CANCELLED' ;      
      /*exception
      when others then
         null ;
      end ;*/        
    end ;

    Always make your code developer friendly. Do extensive code instrumentation. At lease you can do this.
    create or replace trigger apps.xxont_sync_ard
    instead of insert or update on xxont_oe_order_lines_vw
    referencing
    new as new
    old as old
    for each row
    declare
       zero_update exception;
    begin
       update oe_order_lines_all
          set attribute7 = :new.attribute7
        where attribute18 = to_char(:new.header_id)
          and attribute17 = to_char(:new.line_id)
          and flow_status_code <> 'CANCELLED' ;
       if sql%rowcount = 0 then
         raise zero_update;
       end if;
    exception
      when zero_update then
         raise_application_error
               -20001
             , 'OE_ORDER_LINES_ALL: 0 rows updated attribute18 = "'
               || attribute18
               || '" attribute17 = "'
               || to_char(:new.line_id)
               || '"'
    end ;
    This will help you raise error when the update does not update any row. This is just an example, make sure if this is what your requirement wants if you want to implement it. If you don't want to raise error then you can just log it in a log table or log file.

  • [PLEASE] Prob with instead of Trigger  [URGENT !]

    Hi,
    I have an INSTEAD OF TRIGGER on a view which update 2 based tables.
    Each time the user update information,the system processes the update operation and insert a new row into the base tables.None of the based tables has any trigger.
    Why this insertion occures ? How can i stop it and update only the based tables without inserting the same row ?

    Thks Andrew for your reply,
    The INSTEAD OF trigger doesn't insert new row as i said before.... apologies.... It processes 2 things:
    - update the field with the new value (what i want)
    - Replace any existing data that has the same reference_key by the new value.
    If we change the email of an individual and it happens that they are many people in the same company,then the INSTEAD OF TRIGGER updates the email and replace the other employees records by the one that has been updated.
    But if the company employes only 1 person then the process is ok.It's bizarre only for many employees in the same company.
    i.e:
    Martin Tom , [email protected], FRANCE SOFT
    Paul Henri, [email protected], FRANCE SOFT
    Jason Case, [email protected], FRANCE SOFT
    If i update Martin Tom's email to [email protected], Paul and Jason would be replace by Marin Tom's record....
    Martin Tom , [email protected], FRANCE SOFT
    Martin Tom , [email protected], FRANCE SOFT
    Martin Tom , [email protected], FRANCE SOFT
    Maybe my instead of trigger is written improperly.....
    Any advise ?

    And: If there is no PK on table my_users I got not error!
    Can anybody explain it?
    And: How can I include my listings in the forum with courier font?

    Is the primary key in this table referencing any table(s) in other schema? How should this work?
    Look at the script above:

  • Can I update multiple forms with the same dropdown at the same time

    I have 20+ forms that have a common dropdown.  Each form has between 1 and 15 instances of this dropdown.  The values in the dropdown are updated on a frequent basis.
    Currently I have an identical Document JavaScript named 'UpdateDropdowns' in each form.
    function update_dropdowns()
        var aList = ["  ", "A", "B", "C"];
        //Add any other dropdown choices in the var aList in the format shown
        getField("TradeNameDropdown1").setItems(aList);
        getField("TradeNameDropdown2").setItems(aList);
        // Add any other dropdowns added to the form in the format shown
        // Open Log Console (Ctrl-J), enter update_dropdowns()  (Ctrl-Enter)
    There are over 30 choices in my present iteration of var aList, but for brevity I've only listed the 3 examples to illustrate my JavaScript.
    Currently when I have to update the dropdown, I follow these steps
    Open form
    Open UpdateDropdowns Document JavaScript
    Add the additional value(s)
    Highlight and copy the updated var aList
    Close the Document JavaScript
    Update the form in the Log Console
    Repeat process for all forms (pasting in the new var aList to ensure conformity)
    Is there a way to update all of my forms at once without having to go through this form by form process?

    That sounds fantastic try67.  I have the most recent version of Acrobat Pro.
    I'm unfamiliar with the process.  Will 'Help' be able to walk me through it?
    I'm not in the office anymore, so not in front of the program.

  • How can I retrieve the condition in an update or delete using instead of trigger

    I have 2 tables, on which a view is created. To distinguish the tables within the view trigger, a column "source" had been added in the view creation. I want to be able to delete row(s) in table t1 or table t2 through the view, depending on a condition. The problem is that I don't know how I can get back the delete condition IN the INSTEAD of trigger :
    CREATE TABLE t1(m NUMBER, n VARCHAR2(10), o date);
    CREATE TABLE t2(a NUMBER, b VARCHAR2(10), c date);
    -- The view is created based on the 2 tables.
    CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW vt12 AS
    SELECT 't1' source, m, n, o
    FROM t1
    UNION
    SELECT 't2' source, a, b, c
    FROM t2;
    -- The trigger will fire whenever INSERT is performed on the tables through the view
    create or replace trigger tvt12 instead of insert or delete on vt12
    begin
    if inserting then
    if :new.source = 't1' then
    insert into t1 values (:new.m, :new.n, :new.o);
    else
    -- will insert a default value of -1 for the fourth column "d"
    insert into t2(a,b,c,d) values (:new.m, :new.n, :new.o, -1);
    end if;
    elsif deleting then
    -- We don't know the condition for the deletion, so all rows from the
    -- table from which the current row is coming will be deleted
    if :old.source = 't1' then
    delete t1;
    else
    delete t2;
    end if;
    end if;
    end;
    show error
    insert into vt12 values ('t1',1,'1',sysdate);
    insert into vt12 values ('t2',2,'2',sysdate+1);
    insert into vt12 values ('t1',3,'3',sysdate+2);
    insert into vt12 values ('t2',4,'4',sysdate+3);
    insert into vt12 values ('t1',5,'5',sysdate+4);
    insert into vt12 values ('t2',6,'6',sysdate+5);
    commit;
    select * from vt12;
    select * from t1;
    select * from t2;
    delete vt12 where m = 1;
    commit;
    select * from vt12;
    select * from t1;
    select * from t2;
    When I execute this script, the delete statement seems to recognize that the condition is affecting a row in table t1, and therefore deletes all rows from the table, as specified in the delete statement of the trigger... But, what I want to do is ONLY to delete the row affected by the original condition. So my question is to know how I can get back the original condition for the delete, and still use it in the trigger, that will be executed INSTEAD of the delete statement.. I checked in the doc, and everywhere an example of INSTEAD OF trigger can be found, but it's always and only using an INSTEAD OF INSERT trigger, which doesn't need a condition.
    Can anyone help ?

    I've never faced this case myself, but from the documentation it would seem that the INSTEAD OF DELETE is also a FOR EACH ROW trigger. Therefore, you don't really have to worry about the actual "where" clause of the original "delete" operation: Oracle has it all parsed for you, so you just need to redirect, in turn, each view record being deleted to the appropriate table.
    In extenso: for your
    delete vt12 where m = 1;
    => the INSTEAD OF trigger fires once for all records in vt12 where m=1, and I would guess that you trigger code should look like:
    begin
    delete from t1 where m = :old.m and n = :old.n and o = :old.o;
    delete from t2 where a = :old.m and b = :old.n and c = :old.o;
    end;
    It's a bit of overkill compared to the "where" clause of the original "delete" statement, but it should do the job...
    BTW, if by any luck you do have some primary key on tables t1 and t2 (say: columns o and c respectively), then obviously you can make the thing simpler:
    begin
    delete from t1 where o = :old.o;
    delete from t2 where c = :old.o;
    end;

  • ADF BC: Creating updatable VO based upon DB View with "instead of" trigger

    Hello all,
    I have got an interesting issue. I have an Oracle DB view that is used to hide some complexity in the underlying DB design (it does some unions). This view is updatable because we have created an "instead of" update trigger to update the correct table when a row is updated. This is working fine in SQL.
    Next, we have created an ADF Entity object based upon the view, specifying an appropriate PK for the DB View. Then, we have created an updatable VO based upon the EO. All well and good so far. The issue we have is in trying to commit changes to the DB - because the ADF BC framework is trying to lock the row to update (using SELECT ... FOR UPDATE), it's not working because of ORA-02014 - cannot select FOR UPDATE from view with DISTINCT, GROUP BY, etc.
    This leads me to thinking about overridding doSelect() on the EO as hinted here http://radio.weblogs.com/0118231/stories/2005/07/28/differenceBetweenViewObjectSelectAndEntityDoselectMethod.html
    As a temporary test, we have over-ridden the EO's doSelect to call super.doSelect(false) and it does work, although we will have lost update issues as detailed in Steve's article.
    My questions:
    1). Is overriding doSelect() the correct thing here? Perhaps there is a better way of handling this problem? I do have a base EO class from which all of the EO's extend, so adding this behavior should be straightforward.
    2). Does anyone have example doSelect implementation? I am thinking of overriding doSelect for my EO and calling super.doSelect (lock=false), but then I need to deal with some possible exceptions, no?
    Kind regards,
    John

    Hi John,
    I have exactly the same issue as you experienced back in January. I have a complex data modelling requirement which requires the need to pivot rows into columns using ROW_NUMBER() and PARTITION clauses. To hide the complexity from the middle tier, I have created a database view and appropriate INSTEAD OF triggers and mapped my EO to the view. I have overriden the lock() method on the EO implementation class (to avoid ORA-02014) and would like to try the same solution you used with the pl/sql call to lock the record.
    My question is, how did you manage the release of the lock if the transaction was not rolled back or committed by your application i.e. if the user closed the browser for instance.
    In my naivity, I would like to think that the BC4J framework would release any locks for the database session when it found the servlet session to be terminated however my concern is that the lock would persist and cause complications.
    Any assistance greatly appreciated (if you would be willing to supply your lock() method and pl/sql procedure logic I would be even more grateful!).
    Many thanks,
    Dave

  • Problem viewing/updating MySQL-database with utf-8 charset

    System specs:
    Tomcat 5.5.4
    JDK1.5.0
    MySQL 4.1
    Connector/J 3.0.16
    JSTL 1.1
    I am trying to build a guestbook web-app, and want to be able to store swedish characters (available in latin1) and decided to give utf-8 a go since it would support other languages as well. I use a <Resource> in my context-xml to get the connection.
    This simply will not work; when I use the <%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=utf-8"%> declaration, the swedish characters in the raw html-code gets replaced by questionmarks. Select-queries output look ok though, as long as they don't contain the character '�'
    When removing the page-declaration, the queries show only questionmarks where swedish characters should be.
    The same goes for updating my database. Swedish characters get garbled.
    I have tried the following without success:
    *adding &useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8 to the Resource-url -- causes my web-app to fail loading.
    *adding a <filter> to the web-apps web.xml as suggested at  http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-09-2004/jw-0906-unicode_p.html -- caused another web-app error, resulting in it not being loaded.
    *setting the form attribute accept-charset -- resulted in no improvement.
    Right now I'm half desperate and half fed-up. Is this a common problem with MySQL? Should I use another database? Or perhaps it is the Connector/J Driver that's messing things up.
    I'll appreciate any help I get greatly.

    Hello. Maybe not so interesting after a year to try to ask did you ever get a final solution to that problem in command line perspective. OR does somebody else knows solution to this problem.
    Anyway I have similar problem, I use mysql5 with latin1 charset and I can insert to my database letters ��� normally via mysql command line and they show perfectly. But the problem is my web application.
    I can insert all characters to database and retrieve them normally via web app but if i need to use mysql command line for queries it fails because those special letters appear something like ��. I still need to make queries on mysql command line as admin. I have also tried to change different drivers like
    Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver"); or
    com.mysql.jdbc.Driver etc connector is 3.0.17
    I have also tried to change to utf-8 and then changed mysql def.enc to same... i have used request.setWHATEVER CHARSET.....i'm out of ideas... help?

  • "instead of" trigger on a view with a condition

    I'm trying to create an instead-of trigger on a view but I want it all such that:
    1. It fires only for a certain condition.
    2. When the condition isn't met, I want the normal DML on the view to continue as it normally would.
    3. I want to avoid writing as much manual DML code as possible for long-term maintainability.
    My first attempt is like this:
    create or replace trigger PROPOSAL_PARTS_V_IRU
      instead of update on proposal_parts_v
      for each row
      WHEN :old.PART_MASTER_ID <> :new.PART_MASTER_ID
    BEGIN
      do_stuff_for_part_master_change;
    END;So when the OLD and NEW PART_MASTER_IDs have changed, I want special processing. Else, I want it to do whatever it normally does (let the view get updated and the database will manage the update of the underlying table).
    When compiling that I get "ORA-25004: WHEN clause is not allowed in INSTEAD OF triggers".
    OK I will accept that even though I want it to work.
    So my next attempt could be:
    create or replace trigger PROPOSAL_PARTS_V_IRU
      instead of update on proposal_parts_v
      for each row
    BEGIN
      IF :old.PART_MASTER_ID <> :new.PART_MASTER_ID THEN
        do_stuff_for_part_master_change;
      ELSE
        UPDATE proposal_parts -- Manually update the underlying table with manually-written DML but I hate having to do this in case the view or table columns change.
        SET...
        WHERE...
      END;So my question is...is there any syntax to do something like this?
    create or replace trigger PROPOSAL_PARTS_V_IRU
      instead of update on proposal_parts_v
      for each row
    BEGIN
      IF :old.PART_MASTER_ID <> :new.PART_MASTER_ID THEN
        do_stuff_for_part_master_change;
      ELSE
        update_row;
      END;...where "update_row" is some sort of built-in command that tells oracle to continue with the current update as if the trigger never existed.
    Back in the day I seem to remember that Oracle Forms had a trigger and syntax like this where you could intercept a DML and if under certain conditions it wasn't true, you could say "update_row" (or maybe it was "update_record?...whatever) and it meant "continue with update as if this instead-of trigger never existed".
    Is anything available like that for the DB now? I know in older versions no, but we are now on 11g...anything new come out like this?
    Otherwise I have to manually write an update statement and I'd rather not if I don't need to.
    Thanks!

    2. When the condition isn't met, I want the normal DML on the view to continue as it normally would.You will have to code all of your logic in the INSTEAD of trigger. The whole purpose of the INSTEAD OF trigger is to execute INSTEAD OF performing DML on the view. There is no way to go back to the "normal DML" when the INSTEAD OF trigger exists.
    You can put all of the logic you will need in the INSTEAD OF trigger and use IF conditions. Use IF logic to code both your special and "normal" processing.
    3. I want to avoid writing as much manual DML code as possible for long-term maintainability.You will have to code the operative lines somewhere. Reusable functions and/or procedures in a package?Yep using an "IF" I knew about...no problem there.
    But was just looking for a cheap and easy way to say (for the "else" condition) to revert to normal DML processing. Sounds like in a DB trigger there is no such syntax I guess.
    This is an example from Oracle Forms, I was looking for a database equivalent of this(see http://sqltech.cl/doc/dev2000/help/fbhelp18.htm):
    Built-in Subprograms for On-Event Triggers For most of the transactional On-event triggers, there is a corresponding built-in subprogram.
    On-Event Trigger
    Corresponding Built-in
    On-Delete
    DELETE_RECORD
    On-Insert
    INSERT_RECORD
    On-Update
    UPDATE_RECORD
    When you call one of these built-in subprograms from its corresponding transactional trigger, Form Builder performs the default processing that it would have done normally at that point in the transaction.
    For example, if you call the INSERT_RECORD procedure from an On-Insert trigger, Form Builder performs the default processing for inserting a record in the database during a commit operation.
    When these built-ins are issued from within their corresponding transactional triggers, they are known as do-the-right-thing built-ins. That is, they do what Form Builder would normally have done at that point if no trigger had been present. Thus, an On-Insert trigger that calls the INSERT_RECORD procedure is functionally equivalent to not having an On-Insert trigger at all. Such a trigger is explicitly telling Form Builder to do what it would have done by default anyway.Note that the author calls them the "do-the-right-thing" built-ins. That's what I was looking for but on the DB side. Sounds like Oracle didn't come up with that (yet)?

Maybe you are looking for
