LPAD - Reading Values From One Table And Inserting Into Another
Apr 20, 2012
LPAD not behaving as expected. the main thing I'm trying to accomplish here is reading values from one table, and inserting them into another... but in the "other" table, they need to be inserted as 11 characters long, with leading zeros. in it's most basic form, this is the cursor I'm using:
CODEDECLARE
CURSOR update_mpi_cur IS
select distinct A.epn_nbr, A.mrn_nbr, B.mpi_nbr
from table1 A, table2 B
where B.external_id = A.epn_nbr and B.identifier_type = 'EPN';
[code]....
should have mentioned that this is Oracle 10.2.0.3, on HPUX. not sure if that matters for this issue or not, but wanted to throw that out there.
how to read the excel data and insert into tables without using SQL loader. i tried using OLE2 package,but i am getting an non-oracle exception. even i tried using CSV format. but i couldn't make it.
I am trying to insert the following values in a table called as inf_content
The table INF_CONTENT has following two cols (REQUEST_ID NUMBER(10,0) , FLTER_SET_XML "SYS"."XMLTYPE" NOT NULL ENABLE); =========================================================================================== INSERT INTO inf_content
[code]...
I am getting the error:

I have a table AUD$ (containts some data) and aud_new(exactly structure same as AUD$ table with no data)
i want to schedule a job which will insert all data from AUD$ into table aud_new$ from aud$ table on next day again data from aud$ should be append to aud_new table and aud$ table should be truncated again.
The job should run on every day at midnight at 2 am
(note : If insertion in table aud_new get fail due to any reason , the aud$ table must not get truncated )
I created a Table with a single column varchar2.. in which I wanted to insert value like 'BBBBAB1'... till 'BBBBAB100'
Created a sequence starting with 1...
and inserted single row, and multiple rows using loop also; by using below code -
insert into Trans SELECT CONCAT('BBBBAB', Trans1.NEXTVAL) from dual;
but whenever I see the values they are not as required ... 'BBBBAB1' but one character 'B' is missing, and the values populating are 'BBBAB1'.. 'BBBAB100'
I am working on convertion of triggers from SQL SERVER to Oracle. I got them converted using a tool. But not sure how to correct the below trigger which uses '*' in sql server.
Code in SQL SERVER :-
CREATE TRIGGER INSERT_AUDIT ON T_AUDIT FOR INSERT AS INSERT INTO T_AUDIT_LOG SELECT 'INSERT','AFTER', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP, NULL,* FROM INSERTED
Converted into Oracle:-
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER INSERT_AUDIT BEFORE INSERT ON T_AUDIT FOR EACH ROW INSERT INTO T_AUDIT_LOG VALUES ( 'INSERT', 'AFTER', SYSTIMESTAMP, NULL, * );
END;
how can I remove the *. I tried replacing the * with the rest column names prefixing with :NEW.
the last 3 columns when are c_data1,c_data2,c_data3 as :- INSERT INTO T_AUDIT_LOG VALUES ( 'INSERT', 'AFTER',SYSTIMESTAMP NULL, :NEW.c_data1,:NEW.c_data2,:NEW.c_data3); But this gives error:- PLS-00049: bad bind variable 'NEW.C_DATA1' PLS-00049: bad bind variable 'NEW.C_DATA2' PLS-00049: bad bind variable 'NEW.C_DATA3'
I am facing a problem while inserting primary keys using a sequence. Following is my case
I have a Master Table, say M_A, and 2 detail tables D_1 and D_2. I am trying to generate primary keys for the master and detail table as well as the reference keys for the detail tables using sequence.
I created a pre-insert trigger, say preInsertTRIG
proc_ABC(pri_key_master OUT VARCHAR2, pri_key_detail1 OUT VARCHAR2, fk_detail1 OUT VARCHAR2, pri_key_detail2 OUT VARCHAR2, [Code] ........
I am able to insert the P.K of the master table as well as P.K of one of the detail table. However, it fails to insert the P.K of 2nd detail table and reference keys for both the detail tables. I know there are other simple methods available in Forms, but I have to do it by this procedure only
I have a report, where there are opening balance and closing balance, so i have to store the closing balance values in a separate table during runtime and should show this closing value as opening balance for next month.
I need a way to ftp file to remote server by reading data from table. I searched a couple of sites which asked me to use Chris xutl_ftp package..but unfortunately the site is no accessible..
Here is the code

I have a complex sql query that fetches 88k records. This query uses a global temporary table which is the replica of one of our permanent tables. When I do Create table..select... using this query it inserts only fewer records. But when I make the query point to the permanent table it inserts all 88k records.
1. I tried running the select query separately using temp and perm table. Both retrieves 88k records.
2. From debugging I found that this problem occurred when we were trying to perform a left outer join on an inline view.
However this problem got resolved when I used the /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ hint.
From my limited oracle knowledge I assume that it is the problem with the query and how it is processed in the memory.
The data in the MESSAGE_DATA column contains text but also control characters that separate data elements in the message (i.e (char)31, (char)29) and (char)28) . What i am finding is that for some reason message.getString() is sometimes truncating the message. I can read the majority of messages but some of them are truncated. Am i supposed to be reading the data using a different method? If so how?
I have tried to use sqlplus to look at the data in the database and it is all there it is just truncated by the message.getString() method. I saw this when i tried to output the result i.e. System.out.println(message.getString()).
I ran an sql query using the length() function in Oracle and length("MESSAGE_DATA") returns 2032 whereas in java message.getString(1).length() returns 2000.
I need to insert data in Table A from Table B where most of the fields are identical and might some of the fields will be more in Table A.

My homework requires me to create a booking table for a hotel and I have created the table but I'm having trouble inserting the dates.
This is my table:
DROP TABLE BookingDM CASCADE CONSTRAINTS PURGE; CREATE TABLE BookingDM ( hNo NUMBER(3), gNo NUMBER(5), dFrom DATE NOT NULL, [code]......
This is the first set I'm attempting to insert hNo = 148 gNo = 11169 dFrom = 09/03/2009 dTo = 09/10/2009 rNo = 202
This is my attempt to insert the set:
SQL> INSERT INTO BookingDM VALUES('148', '11169', '09/03/2009', '09/10/2009', '202'); INSERT INTO BookingDM VALUES('148', '11169', '09/03/2009', '09/10/2009', '202') * ERROR at line 1: ORA-01843: not a valid month
i am trying to fetch the cursor returned from a stored procedure and insert into a physical table. but i am unable to populate the table. below is how my code looks.
declare p_out sysadm.CGF_PKG_REFCUR.rcDataCursor; a table1.node%TYPE; b table1.acct%TYPE; c table1.descr%TYPE; [code]......
In the above, stored_proc is the stored procedure from OLAP database. Above code i am executing is from EPM database.
p_out returns a result set of (select a,b,c from table2).
I am trying to get the result set from OLAP database and populate a table in the EPM database.
I used decode & pivot insert for this,but the result is a failure.

I am trying to insert a column into a variable from a trigger.
Here is the code that i have:

When I run the above I get the following compiler error:
Since ID is defined in my BUYER table I do not understand what the error means.
Here is my create table statement:
CREATE TABLE BUYER ( ID VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, FNAME VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, LNAME VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, ADDRESS VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, CITY VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL, STATE VARCHAR(2) NOT NULL, ZIP_CODE NUMBER(5) NOT NULL );

I have a table of 10 records ,out of 10 records 2 records are having null values by using anonymous block i need to move the successful record(excluding null) into 'abc' tableand null records into 'err'table.
I am exploring the differences between OBJECT & RECORD. As i am still in process of learning, I found that both are structures which basically groups elements of different datatypes or columns of different datatypes, one is used in SQL and other is used in PL/SQL. Below i am trying to insert data into an table of type object but i am unsuccessful.
CREATE OR REPLACE type sam as OBJECT ( v1 NUMBER, v2 VARCHAR2(20 CHAR) );
---Nested Table--- create or replace type t_sam as table of sam; --Inserting data---- insert into table(t_sam) values(sam(10,'Dsouza')); Error Message: [code]........
My scenario is to insert values into 'out' column by comparing 's' and 'IP' columns of temp table.The exact situation is at first need to go to ip column,take a value and then go to source column and check for the same value of ip which is taken previously.Then after corresponding ip of that source column should be inserted back in previous source column.
The situation is marked clearly in file which i am attaching with '--' comments at respective places.I am also pasting the code which i tried out,unfortunately it is giving error as exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows since there are duplicates in the table.I tried it using nested for loops.Also implemented using rowid,but it didnt work.
fixing the errors or if there is any new logic that can be implemented.
DECLARE i_e NUMBER(10); BEGIN FOR cur_1 IN(SELECT IP from temp where IP IS NOT NULL) LOOP FOR cur_2 IN(SELECT IP from temp where s=cur_1.IP)
