SQL & PL/SQL :: Insert Into Table And Add Extra Field Value
Sep 19, 2011
I need to copy records from a working table to a history table. I have the following sql statement
insert into test.history
(equip_ID, state, manufacturer, install_year, capacity,
group_ID, Test_status)
select (equip_ID, state, manufacturer, install_year, capacity,
group_ID, Test_status
from test.info_AP
Table test.history has one more field in it called test_year. I need to fill this field when I do the insert. Can't use an after update trigger as the field is currently set to not allow nulls.
Once I add an extra column to link the two tables the number of rows is reduced by one, however when I try to get this extra record I find none matching the same criteria that led to reducing the records.
SQL> SELECT count(*) 2 FROM N_CONTRACT NC, N_WITHDRAWAL_REQUEST NWR 3 WHERE NC.fk_temP_withdrawal_req_serial = NWR.SERIAL_NUMBER; COUNT(*) ---------- 2243 [code]...
I have three tables. One for projects, one for volunteers, and a bridge entity for the many to many relationship between the Project and Volunteer.
In Project table, I have a field called, Volunteers_currently_signed_up, which means the number of volunteers currently signed up to participate in a project.
When I add an entry to my bridge entity which is composed of Volunteer_ID and Project_ID, I want the Volunteers_currently_signed_up to increment by 1, where the Project_ID in the bridge entity corresponds to that in Project.
I have very very little PL/SQL, and this is my amateur attempt so far:
CREATE OR REPLACE trigger "BI_Volunteers_currently_signed_up" BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON Volunteers_in_project for each row WHERE Volunteers_in_project.Project_ID=Project.Project_ID; begin Project.Volunteers_currently_signed_up += 1; end; /
I have inherited a query that union alls 2 select statements, I added a further field to one of the select statements ( a date field). However I need to add another dummy field to the 2nd select statement so the union query marries up I have tried to do this by simply adding a
select 'date_on' to add a field called date on populated by 'date_on' (the name of the column in the first query)
however when I run the union query i get the error Ora-01790 expression must have same datatype as corresponding expression.
What i wnat is to update the Customer_inactive_date with the Incative_date field from Customer_type based on their Customer_type... So james and Jill would have their rows updated in this scneario ..How can i achive this in pl/Sql
I have teh code using merge function..I want something in traditional old fashion..
I have this SQL that returns the correct amount of rows which should be 2:
Select Distinct A.File_Name, A.File_Desc, A.file_location, A.location_date, A.downloaded_date, A.downloaded_id, A.file_size, A.days_to_request, B.File_Name, B.Act_Date, B.date_loaded from SDT_LOG A Inner Join ACTIVITY_LOG B On A.file_name = B.file_name and A.downloaded_date = B.date_loaded
I need to add another field in the Select query which is B.Act_Code. When I do, I get 2 extra rows. I do not know how to make these rows distinct.
The A table's structure is along with sample data for 1st record:
CODE Example of Name Type 1st record. ---- ------- -------------- FILE_NAME VARCHAR2(50) STLMK.txt FILE_DESC VARCHAR2(50) NON-RESIDENT FILE_LOCATION VARCHAR2(50) L:\NonResFiles YEAR NUMBER(4) 2008 LOCATION_DATE DATE 10/10/2007 DOWNLOADED_DATE DATE 09/04/2008 9:17:00 AM DOWNLOADED_ID VARCHAR2(50) Cindy FILE_SIZE CHAR(10) 16212 DAYS_TO_REQUEST NUMBER(3) 60
The B table's structure is along with sample data for 1st record:
CODE Example of Name Type 1st record ---- ------ ----------- FILE_NAME VARCHAR2(50) STLMK.txt ACT_CODE CHAR(2) D ACT_DATE DATE 10/10/2007 ACTIVITY_ID VARCHAR2(50) downloaded on DATE_LOADED DATE 09/04/2008 9:17:00 AM
The second record of activity would all be the same except Cindy would be "Jason", act_code would be an "S", activity_id would be "sent on" and then of course the dates would be changed to whenever the new information was saved within the system.
I am getting something like this (shortened of course):
CODEFile_name Downloaded_ID Act_Code
STLMK.txt Cindy D STLMK.txt Cindy S STLMK.txt Jason D STLMK.txt Jason S
There should only be one row for Cindy with a D act_code and one row for Jason with an S act_code. For some reason, Cindy and Jason each get a row with the different act_code. I'm retrieving 4 rows instead of two when I use B.Act_Code in the SQL statement.
Cindy should have the D Act_Code because she downloaded that file name and Jason should have the S because he sent that file to someone else. Every time a file's activity changes, it is entered into the system so we can keep track of where the files are.

view the below select statement..why it's adding extra zero's...
select to_timestamp('2001-05-22 12:00:18.600','YYYY-MM-DD HH:MI:SS.ff3AM') from dual output: 5/22/2001 12:00:18.600000000 PM ---why it's adding extra zeors's my output should be as " 5/22/2001 12:00:18.600 PM"
it gets these three characters at the start of the line l_hdr_evnt = 
So i saved header_evnt.txt as UTF-8, and used utl_file.fopen_nchar, utl_file.get_line_nchar, which got rid of first two characters, but still has ¿. How to get rid of that?
I am modifying a stored proc that i wrote a couple of years ago. The change is that i want certain inputs to accept strings of characters (comma delimited) so they can be parsed and processed in the proc. The problem is, when i pass very little data (about 50 characters) It fails saying the character sting buffer is to small.
I have setup the input as a type of a column that is a clob and i have also tried using just vahrchar2 (with no size set).
I am calling a function in front end, from front end i am passing space, now i want to trim space in parameter itself, it's psssible, assume the below is the function defination, i want to trim the p_region_name parameter like this trim(p_region_name), is this possible?
FUNCTION add_country_region_column ( p_s_country_code_iso_2 IN varchar2_table_type, p_type IN d_country.c1_type%TYPE, p_name IN d_country.c1_name%TYPE, p_desc IN d_country.c1_desc%TYPE,
INSERT INTO TEST_TBL VALUES( 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 ) ;
Expected result
A1 1000 A2 2000 A3 3000 A4 4000
A1, A2, A3, A4 are hard coded fixed values.
I could have done this but not a good idea in case table TEST_TBL is not a single row table but an inline query on 1,00,00,000 records with summary functions. In my table I've a summary query instead of single row table.
SELECT 'A1', COL1 FROM TEST_TBL UNION ALL SELECT 'A2', COL2 FROM TEST_TBL UNION ALL SELECT 'A3', COL3 FROM TEST_TBL UNION ALL SELECT 'A4', COL4 FROM TEST_TBL
I have one issue while loading the value through sql*loader the last column data is SG1 and when its loaded , it is length of this columns is showing 4 char. Unable to understand, how to find this extra space. Though used TRIM but does not work.
primary key constraint on transaction_dtl_bk is affecting the insertion of next correct rows.

Oracle 11gI have a large table of 125 million records - t3_universe. This table never gets updated or altered once loaded, but holds data that we receive from a lead company. I need to select records from this large table that fit certain demographic criteria and insert those into a smaller table - T3_Leads - that will be updated with regard to when the lead is mailed and for other relevant information. select records from this 125 million record table to insert into the smaller table.
I have tried a variety of things - views, materialized views, direct insert into smaller table...I think I am probably missing other approaches. My current attempt has been to create a View using the query that selects the records as shown below. Then use a second query that inserts into T3_Leads from this View V_Market. This is very slow. Can I just use an Insert Into T3_Leads with this query - it did not seem to work with the WITH clause? My Index on the large table is t3_universe_composite and includes zip_code, address_key, household_key.
CREATE VIEW V_Market asWITH got_pairs AS ( SELECT /*+ INDEX_FFS(t3_universe t3_universe_composite) */ l.zip_code, l.zip_plus_4, l.p1_givenname, l.surname, l.address, l.city, l.state, l.household_key, l.hh_type as l_hh_type, l.address_key, l.narrowband_income, l.p1_ms, l.p1_gender, l.p1_exact_age, l.p1_personkey, e.hh_type as filler_data, 1.p1_seq_no, l.p2_seq_no , ROW_NUMBER () OVER ( PARTITION BY l.address_key ORDER BY l.hh_verification_date DESC ) AS r_num FROM t3_universe e JOIN t3_universe l ON l.address_key = e.address_key AND l.zip_code = e.zip_code AND l.p1_gender != e.p1_gender
My scenario is I need to insert into History table when a record is been updated into a tabular form(insert the updated record along with the additional columns Action_by,Action_type(Like Update or delete) and Action Date Into History table i.e History table contains all the records as the main table which is been visible in tabular form along with these additional columns ...Action_by,action_type and action_date.
So now i dont want to create a befor/after update trigger on base table rather i would like to create a generic procedure which will insert the updated record into history table taking the page alias and pade ID as the parameters(GENERIC procedure is nothing but whcih applies to all the tabular forms(Tables) contained int he application ).
I need to take a snapshot of a table before insert or update happens to that table.... in oracle 10g. I am reading the MV docs from oracle and below link..
[URL].......
how MV should be written for this and how to schedule it in dbms_jobs for auto refresh?
assuming that t1 is the table where DML operation are goin to happen so before any insert or update, snapshot has to be taken, and I am assuming that to do this it would look something like this?
create materialized view my_view refresh fast as select * from t1;
Step 1.Insert all records from the external table into the export table. Truncate the export table first
Step 2.Read in a record from the export map table
Step 3.Search through export table records looking for the key words BRANCH =. Compare the branch code with the branch code form the map table
Step 4.If a match is found mark all records in the export table for the worksheet with the global ID from the export map table as follows..The first line of a worksheet is marked by the words WKSHTS..The last line of the work sheet is marked by the words COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL..We will need to capture the line break so also mark the next line after the COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL line
Step 5.Continue with Steps 2 - 4 until all records have been processed from the export map table.
first I have to create a procedure ti insert data from external table to export table.Global id will be blank.it will be updated by the mapping table's Global Id when The EB COLUMN's data(i.e 8p,2Betc ) will match with the BRANC=NA,2Betc of the datasheet loaded from the external table.. FOLLOWING IS THE SAMPLE DATASHEET
WKSHTS AAAAA BBBBBBBBBBB ELECTRONICS INC. TIME REPORT-DATE PAGE SORT - BR, SLSREP AEC FIELD SALES REPRESENTATIVE 16:14 09/21/12 1 BRANCH = 2B EMPLOYEE NAME SALVAAG, GREGG Days in the Month 28 [code]....
THERE ARE 2 pages..I have to split this LONG REPORT STORED IN WKSHT_LINE COLUMN OF EXPORT TABLE to 2 records..like wise 500 pages are there means 500 records.. AND THEN FIND BRANCH= after that which two words will come i.e NA,2B etc if it will MATCH WITH MAPPING TABLE"S EB COLUMN"S DATA,THEN MAPPING TABLE's GLOBAL ID WILL BE UPDATED TO EXPORT TABLE's GLOBAL ID WHICH IS BLANK
I am trying to subtract the time from where status = Delivered from the status = Picked Up. All the data is in the same table. Let's call it table1 and I want to return the values: PTN, NAME and the time difference. Is this possible to do?

Trying to auto insert the newest records from one table into another Table. I have a vendor provided table that is part of my database (running Oracle 9i) so I can't change the underlying structure to it or their process stops fluxing. However, I can add a trigger to it. What I want to do is this:
When the vendor's software inserts a new row (through their own automated process) I want to insert data from that same new record into another table of my own. (where of course I can re-format it, etc., and make the data my own)
The original vendor table does not have a insertion timestamp field to work off of.What is the best way to trigger an insert off the latest inserted record? It works to replace all the records in the entire vendor table but I only want to insert one record at a time.
