Can we use a subquery after the update keyword??
For example
UPDATE ( Select col1 from test)
set col1='x';
In short can we replace the table name after an update and use a select statement instead??
I'm getting back more than I want. I need to get the latest row in the PS_ACAD_STDNG_ACTN that has the academic standing code for students.
I thought if I max the effdt, strm, and effseq I would get back only one row. Especially effdt since a academic status is hardly ever updated on the same date.
PS_NTSR_GF_STUFILE will have multiple emplid's for students taking classes. PS_ACAD_STDNG_ACTN should have the last standing status for each student..(PRO = Probation, DIS = Dismissed).
UPDATE PS_NTSR_GF_STUFILE a
SET a.NTSR_GF_ENRL_STAT = nvl((
SELECT b.GBSA_SUB1
FROM PS_GBSA_DTL b, PS_ACAD_STDNG_ACTN c
WHERE c.ACAD_STNDNG_STAT = b.GBSA_VALUE
[code]....
Should the following code work? I feel like I have done this before, but I'm getting a "must be a subquery" error now.
update TABLE1
set (FIELD1, FIELD2) =
values(select 'blah','blah' from DUAL)
where PK_FIELD=12345;
If this is invalid, is there another way to hardcode a series of values like this?
This is a surprisingly common one I've found on the web...even on devshed forum
I am updating one table from another (Updating Table A from Table B):
Table A
ID, Value
-- -----
1 A
1 A
2 B
Table B
ID, Value
-- -----
1 Animal
2 Box
Table A (modified)
ID, Value, Name
1 A Animal
1 A Animal
2 B Box
No I need to update a new column in Table A with the value in Table B.Value where the ID's from both tables match. Problem is: When I do this I get multiple rows and hence Oracle won't let me update this column. Now, I keep reading that for these types of updates, there has to be a one-to-one relationship...
Is this true...is there anyway of telling Oracle to update wherever it finds that ID, regardless of how many duplicate ID's there are?
This is quite a frustrating problem and most of the sites that I've looked for solutions try get the query one-to-one...problem is...with my table sets it's impossible to do that - I need to update wherever the id's match (even if it return multiple rows).
I have two update queries in the same Proc. One Seems to run just fine, the other I am getting this error:
ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row
The working Updates' structure is the same as the erroneous one. This works:
UPDATE P0525_STOREROOM_HOLDER H
SET H.STRATIFICATION_ID = (SELECT X.STRATIFICATION_ID
FROM EMISTRATIFICATION_XS X
WHERE H.TOA = X.TOA
AND H.STOREROOM = X.STOREROOM
AND H.NSN = X.NSN
AND X.ASSEMBLY = 'NO REQUIREMENT' );
This one gives me a single-row error:
UPDATE P0525_STOREROOM_HOLDER H
SET H.STRATIFICATION_ID = (SELECT X.STRATIFICATION_ID
FROM EMISTRATIFICATION_XS X
WHERE H.TOA = X.TOA
AND H.STOREROOM = X.STOREROOM
AND H.NSN = X.NSN
AND X.ASSEMBLY = 'ABOVE ALLOWANCE'
AND H.NSN_QUANTITY > 0);
I have run a check on the data and there doesn't appear to be any duplicate values in the second update... Both Updates are supposed to be updating record sets not a single row (i.e. the stratification_id where the criteria matches...

I just so happen to be the one trail blazing the pivot function for the section of the company I work in. (Needless to say, a Sesame Street style answer will not be offensive.) We are literally in the process of upgrading to 11g (11.2.0.1.0). Sadly, none of our more experienced programmers now anything about the pivot function. Not really surprising to me since we've been working in 10g. Anyway, I am using SQL Developer version 3.0.04 which I know is not the newest but I don't yet have permission to upgrade. I used [URL] to get me as far as I am on this function.

I have one query regarding how to retrieve the CLOB data.
The requirement is something that in the select statement there are around 20+ columns which i need to retrieve from around 5 tables after joining.
Since the result set after joining also will get duplicate values i need to use distinct keyword to filter the resultset. But in the 20+ columns there are 2 CLOB data columns which i need to retrieve.
Whenever i use DISTINCT i'm getting ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CLOB error. I know that DISTINCT keyword cannot be used for CLOB datatypes.

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhat is difference when you issue a create controlfile with "standby" keyword on the primary database
ALTER DATABASE CREATE STANDBY CONTROLFILE AS '/path/db_stby.ctl';
vs. creating a control using
ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE to '/path/db_control.ctl';
what does ORACLE put into the standby control that is "extra"? ie. what is the difference between a standby control file and a normal control file?
I was reading a tutorial for analytical function and i found something like this
sum(princial) keep(dense_rank first order by d_date) over partition by (userid, alias, sec_id, flow, p_date)
