PL/SQL :: Merge Statement - Update Only When There Is Difference?
Feb 7, 2013
I have two tables have almost the same columns, how can I use merge statement to update the target table only when there is difference between source and target table. Is there any easier way not compare each column one by one? I am using Oracle 11.2
Here is the MERGE statement:
Merge into tb_trgt trgt using tb_src src
on (src.id = trgt.id)
when not matched then insert (trgt.id, trgt.nm, trgt.addr) values (src.id, src.nm, src.nm)
when matched then update set trgt.nm = src.nm, trgt.addr = src.addr
where trgt.nm <> src.nm or trgt.addr <> src.addr
;
Is there any easier way to specify the where clause in the NOT MATCHED? I don't want compare each column of the tables. Since I may have many columns in the tables.
In the following merge statement in the USINg clause...I am using a select stament of one schema WEDB.But that same select statement should take data from 30 schemeas and then check the condition below condition
ON(source.DNO = target.DNO AND source.BNO=target.BNO);
I thought that using UNIONALL for select statement of the schemas as below.
how to use the MERGE Statement. actually I've used oracle Merge Statement before and it works very well. However today I tried to use and perform a command like that:
Merge into myTable mt using ( select 'data' field1, 'data2' field2, ect from dual union select 'data' field1, 'data2' field2, ect from dual union
[code]...
This has not worked.What am I doing wrong?What could I do to solve this problem and axecute this statement sucessfully?
CREATE TABLE TEST11(TNO NUMBER(5), TVAL VARCHAR2(100), TID VARCHAR2(10)); INSERT INTO TEST11 VALUES(1,'VIJAYA','TEST'); INSERT INTO TEST11 VALUES(2,'VIJAYA','TEST'); INSERT INTO TEST11 VALUES(3,'VIJAYA','TEST'); INSERT INTO TEST11 VALUES(4,'VIJAYA',''); INSERT INTO TEST11 VALUES(5,'VIJAYA','');
[Code]....
My requiremen is if record is exists then i wan to update some value, if record not existes the i wan to insert new record
mbr has 60,000 rows and member has 60,000 rows approx. two tables have indexes on ssn, and citi_no on them.
PK of mbr : mbr_id PK of member : mbr_id
other columns are not PK, and have no index on it.
I'm wondering why the statment doesn't use index while ssn and citi_no have index.
MERGE INTO mbr t USING (SELECT mbr_id,citi_no FROM member) a ON (t.ssn = a.citi_no) WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET t.asis_mbr_id = a.mbr_id where t.ssn not in(select ssn from mbr group by ssn having count(*) > 1)
I am getting a (PL/SQL: ORA-00903: invalid table name) compile error in a procedure using a merge statement. I have seen many examples using this technique and am at a loss as to why I can't compile.
the pipelined function is:
FUNCTION f_crcli_pipe(pi_source_data IN sys_refcursor, pi_limit_size IN PLS_INTEGER DEFAULT pkg_crcli_variables.c_cursor_limit_def) RETURN CRCLI_AA PIPELINED PARALLEL_ENABLE(PARTITION pi_source_data BY ANY) IS
[code].....
the error is pointing to the TABLE function in the USING clause of the merge statement.
I am writing below MERGE statement. In this cardinality between table_a and table_b is 1:2. I.e. each record in table_b corresponds to 2 records in table_a based on columns in ON clause.
Well this query throws below error.
----Error---
ORA-12801: error signaled in parallel query server P011
ORA-30926: unable to get a stable set of rows in the source tables
However, the same statement executes successfully when PARALLEL hint is removed altogether. (There are no duplicates in table_b based on unit,group,loc columns.)
-----Query--------
MERGE /*+ PARALLEL(8) */ INTO table_a a USING table_b b ON (a.unit = b.unit AND a.group = b.group AND a.loc = b.loc)
I am trying to update multiple columns from one table based on the results of another table So I have 3 tables as follows
HISTORYSUMM_SNAPADM_CHOICE My SQL code is loosely SELECT SUM(H.HIS1), SS.SNAP1, AC.ADM1FROMHISTORY H, SUMM_SNAP SS,ADM_CHOICE ACWHERE H.HIS2=SS.SNAP2AND SS.SNAP3=AC.ADM2GROUP BY SS.SNAP1, AC.ADM1
This works, and I am able to SUM the column as I need with the right numbers. I altered the SUMM_SNAP table and now I want this summarized column to be in the table I tried using UPDATE, but there is no FROM clause to let me do the table join/group by
UPDATE SUMM_SNAPSET SUMM_SNAP.SNAP3=SUM(H.HIS1)FROMHISTORY H, SUMM_SNAP SS,ADM_CHOICE AC WHERE H.HIS2=SS.SNAP2AND SS.SNAP3=AC.ADM2 GROUP BY SS.SNAP1, AC.ADM1
The above is obviously wrong - but just trying to show whatI was thinking What would be the best method to get the numbers from the SUM into a table?
I have two tables lets say TAB_A and TAB_B. I altered table B to include a new column from table A I wrote a merge statement as follows to merge the data
MERGE INTO TAB_AUSING TAB_BON (TAB_A.SECURITYPERSONKEY=TAB_B.SECURITYPERSONKEY)WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET TAB_A.PPYACCOUNT=TAB_B.PPYACCOUNT;
I know INSERT is for inserting new records UPDATE to my knowledge is to modify currently existing records (loosely) MERGE is one I rarely used, until this particular scenario. The code works perfectly fine, but I was wondering how could I write an update statement? Or in this scenario should I even be using an update statement?
UPDATE t_tt_hours a SET a.sak_request = ( SELECT b.sak_request FROM t_requests b, co c
[Code]...
The problem I am having is that it is updating all rows even when it is pulling back a null value for b.sak_request. I've tried adding b.sak_request is not null to the select statement like this:
UPDATE t_tt_hours a SET a.sak_request = ( SELECT b.sak_request FROM t_requests b, co c WHERE b.nam_eds_tracking_id = c.id_dir_track_eds
[Code]...
but it doesn't seem to make a difference. The reason I need to do this is that the difference between where it matches with a valid (non-null) value is 396 rows vs. 12,484 rows which is too time consuming to run on my page.
i am reading the columns value from different table but i want to update it with single update statement. such as how to update multiple columns (50 columns) of table with single update statement .. is there any sql statement available i know it how to do with pl/sql.
I have two tables with 113M records in DWH_BILL_DET & 103M in prd_rerate_chg_que and Im running following merge query, which is running for 13 hrs to update records, which is quiet longer time.
SQL> explain plan for MERGE /*+ parallel (rq, 16) */ INTO DWH_BILL_DET rq USING (SELECT rated_que_rowid, detail_rerate_flag_code, rerate_sel_key,
Is there any difference between include program header before CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE statement and program header after CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE statement
create table zTEST ( PRODUCT number, ID number, Flag number, FLAG_L1 number );
[Code]...
The field FLAG_L1 is the field FLAG with a Lag 1 (order by ID, partition by PRODUCT). I want to write the field FLAG_L1 in an update statement, how can I do this?
