Converting Rows Into Columns And Updating A Table?
Apr 26, 2012
I have a table A, whose table structure is in the below format.
Table A
ID DESC VALUE
123 A 454
123 B 1111
123 C 111
123 D 222
124 A 123
124 B 1
124 C 111
124 D 44
Now i need to insert the data from this table to another table B, the sturcture of which is as below
Table B
ID A B C D
1234541111111222
124123111144
How do i frame a query to fetch data from table A and insert that into table B? I don't want to use max and decode combination. as it would return only single row for an ID. I need all the id's to be displayed.
SELECT CASE WHEN "PIVOT_ROW_GENERATOR"."ID" = 0 THEN "PIVOT_SOURCE"."ID_NUMBER" WHEN "PIVOT_ROW_GENERATOR"."ID" = 1 THEN "PIVOT_SOURCE"."ID_NUMBER" [code].........
I have seen lots of examples of using PIVOT to return an sql query where the rows have been converted to columns. All the examples I can find require you to have two columns with multiple rows, and also require you to know the data which is in one of columns to make titles for the new columns.
I need something a little different...I have a query using UNION which goes something along the lines of...
SELECT [get data from one place] UNION SELECT [get data from another place] UNION SELECT [get data from another place]
this returns the following... a_val ----- 100 200 300
query to return something like this... a_val1 a_val2 a_val3 ------ ------ ------ 100 200 300
The names of the columns don't really matter. And I dont want to create a new table in the database just for the result.
I Have a table like this. 12 rows and 8 columns.And column 1 Dt is going to change everytime,as date and months proceeds.and corresponding columns values are going to change.
Is it possible to communicate with a serial device (via COM1) with oracle forms / webutil? I am able to communicate in java using RXTXcomm, but I am having problems making a bean that uses it (getting security errors and yes, I have signed the jars).
Basically, I have a scale hooked up to my COM1 port and want to be able to send commands (zero and tare) to it and read the weight from it through a form or java bean.
I have created the following trigger whcich will track all the column changes and insert the row in log table. here i have some doubt while substituting the cursor value.
create or replace trigger historylog_trigger before update on log_dev_test for each row declare PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION; in_loamid number(10); in_col_name varchar2(10); in_old_val varchar2(100);
There are at most 2 entries of a in b. Depending on the value of the type column in B, this determines whether the entry should be male or female. I want to have a select statement that will retrieve 2 rows into one row essentially like below, how is this done:
id male_name female_name 1 paul paula
the column names will appear as such, if its a 0 its a male name if its 1 its a female name, there will generally be 2 entries in B for 1 value of a.
I am new to oracle, I have request to build a query,
we have table that generates data from 7am to 20pm for eavery hour it generates 4 rows and has 43 session values as 43 columns.
Now i want to find for every hour which is the hights session value at what time. in one hour it runs four times like 7, 7:15, 7:30 and 7:45 and each row has date, time and 43 session columns in table...
how to update the middle of plenty rows in the middle of the columns
sample_data
id name state REGION LOC 1 v A.p 1 1 2 a 3 g K.A 0 3 4 y 5 i T.N 1 0 6 l M.P 0 1 7 c U.P
This is sample data,and i have this kind of large data and i need to fill the rows which are empty. In three columns state,region,loc with data like 0,web_intimation,1,
Here columns should be created based purchase dates dynamically with respect to quantity. Query out put will be like matrix format. So i feel that PIVOT & SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH will not serve my requirement.
There are millions of DISTINCT ID values in TABLE_1 and corresponding to each ID there are some values for all the days of a month. I need to insert these values in TABLE_2 in the above format.
Is there any way to generate columns dynamically by depending on the rows in a table in 11G .
Ex: If the deptno in DEPT table is not constant,then how to generate the N numbers of columns based on the deptno. Below query is working when we hard coded the deptno (10,20,30,40).What else if we more number of departments and we don't know the departments also.
Connected to Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 Connected as dbo
SQL> SELECT * FROM (SELECT deptno, job, sum(sal) sal FROM SCOTT.emp GROUP BY job, deptno) PIVOT(sum(sal) FOR deptno IN(10, 20, 30, 40));
I need each different ACC_ID with ACC_AMT in different columns. The table may have other different ACC_ID also, but I will fetch only what I need. What is the best way to do this?
So far I have tried this:
SELECT (CASE WHEN ACC_ID=111 THEN ACC_ID END) AS ACC_ID_1, (CASE WHEN ACC_ID=111 THEN ACC_AMT END) AS ACC_AMT_1, (CASE WHEN ACC_ID=222 THEN ACC_ID END) AS ACC_ID_2, (CASE WHEN ACC_ID=222 THEN ACC_AMT END) AS ACC_AMT_2, (CASE WHEN ACC_ID=333 THEN ACC_ID END) AS ACC_ID_3, (CASE WHEN ACC_ID=333 THEN ACC_AMT END) AS ACC_AMT_3 FROM <TABLE_NAME>
trying to update a column in a table which has 3 columns of 16million rows from column in another table which has 1million rows, there is no relationship between the 2 tables.
Table A has 3 columns of 16million rows, the first two columns have 16million ID numbers, the 3rd colunm is currently NULL.
Table B has 1million Numbers, i need to somehow update column 3 in table A using the numbers in table B, it doesnt how many times each of the 1 million numbers are used but i dont want it to just update every row to the same value.
I need to transpose the following table columns to rows and rows to columns...Im not quite sure how to acheive this...I have the following table with fixed number of columns and dynamic number of rows based on date filter in query
MONTH_YEAR RMS RMS_OCC TTL_RMS --------------------------------------- SEPTEMBER 200917790017790 OCTOBER 2009183831278818347 NOVEMBER 2009177901460517762
and I need to display this as
COL1 SEPTEMBER 2009 OCTOBER 2009 NOVEMBER 2009 -------------------------------------------------------------- RMS 17790 18383 17790 RMS_OCC 0 12788 14605 TTL_RMS 17790 18347 17762
I need to update the current column with sum of the previous column values. Following are the creation scripts
DROP TABLE TEST_LOG; CREATE TABLE TEST_LOG (
[Code]....
Above query is working fine to retrieve the previous column values.But when we are updating the SUM_PRE_COLS column with those values it's not working fine.
I tried by using the following query
UPDATE TEST_LOG T SET SUM_PRE_COLS = ( SELECT LAG(T2.KEY0, 1, 0) OVER(ORDER BY T2.KEY0) + LAG(T2.KEY1, 1, 0) OVER(ORDER BY T2.KEY0) FROM TEST_LOG T2 WHERE T2.ROWID= T.ROWID);
is there any possibility or hint to avoid updating record if columns do not change? For example, I have UPDATE:
UPDATE MY_TABLE SET COLUMN_A = 'ABC' WHERE COLUMN_B = 12
if the value in COLUMN_A is 'ABC' I do not want to do this update. Of course I can add in WHERE 'AND COLUMN_A<>'ABC' but when I am updating a lot of columns it will be annoying
Now if there is more than one row with same email the one with the latest edit date should be updated with missing fields by using same field value other rows (if the field is present in more than one row, the one with the next latest edit date is to be considered) and the archived status of all rows with same email except this master row must be set to 1.
The Create_Date must be set to the minimum of all the create_date values of rows with same email value The create table would be as follows:
CREATE TABLE student(Id NUMBER PRIMARY KEY,first_name VARCHAR2(30) NOT NULL,last_name VARCHAR2(30) NOT NULL,email VARCHAR2(30) NOT NULL,contact NUMBER,adress1 VARCHAR(30),adress2 VARCHAR(30),city VARCHAR(30),edit_date DATE,create_date DATE,archived CHAR(1))
Sample insert statements would be: insert into student values
I have a table which has plenty of rows. In production, I would estimate it to be from 30 millions to 300 millions. I need to update on column (flag) in all the rows (created before certain date).Now saying just:
UPDATE MyTable SET flag = 3 WHERE created < to_date('2010-10-08 23:59:59', 'YY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'); COMMIT;
Does not seem like a good idea - the commit-buffer would become too big.I will write a PL/SQL script for this. The question is, whether I should:
a) Update each row separately, and commit after every 10000 rows. ( WHERE RowId = [rowId] ) b) Update 10000 rows with set of dates ( WHERE rowId > [some_row_id] AND RowId < [some_row_id_2]
In the latter example the some_row_ids would naturally be fetched. The rowIds come from sequence. So which one would be more effective?I am not too familiar with PL/SQL or Oracle for that matter.
I have a set of rows based on a complex view from multiple table.
I will be updating some of its columns from front-end . Is there any possible ways to lock those rows of data while updating and no other users can update it;
I need to find the identical rows in the below table based on ID column and update the previous identical record's end_date with latest record's start_date-1.
I have two tables eim_asset and eim_asset1.I want to update the table eim_asset1 using the following update SQL (Or Logic)
update eim_asset1 set emp_emp_login = (select login from s_user where row_id in (select row_id from s_emp_per where row_id in (select pr_emp_id from s_postn where row_id in (select position_id from s_accnt_postn where ou_ext_id in (select row_id from s_org_ext where row_id in (select owner_accnt_id from s_asset where owner_accnt_id is not null)))))
It gives me the ORA error : ORA-01427:single-row subquery returns more than one row.know why I am getting it, because of the one-to-many relationship between owner accounts and their assets.
I am attempting to select back multiple values for a specific key on one row. See the example below. I have been able to use the sys_connect_by_path to combine the fields into one field but I am unable to assign them to fields of their own. See the example below
TABLE DETAILS: Policy id plan name 111 A Plan 111 B Plan 111 Z Plan 112 A Plan 112 Z Plan
My desired result is to be able to show the output as follows
Policy ID Plan_1 Plan_2 Plan_3 111 A Plan B Plan Z PLan 112 A Plan Z PLan
