SQL & PL/SQL :: ORA-01400 - Cannot Insert NULL Into (string)
Jun 2, 2011Oracle version 11.2.0
OS Linux
I have a table with no primary key constraints with some roles containing null value/duplicates. I then decided to alter the table to add composite primary key constraints on four columns (a, b, c, and d). I did this by using the same script that was used to create the original table but this time adding the not null constraints.
I then took and export of the original table. I now want to import the data to the newly created table but I am now getting the error: ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into (string).
I will like to perform the import without NULL. Is there a parameter in impdp that I can use? I tried DATA_OPTIONS=SKIP_CONSTRAINT_ERRORS but it didn't work.
Beside options using impdp is there a way to do an insert statement like this insert into table a (select * from table) excluding NULL;?
Basically, I need to load the data into the newly created table without NULL.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Columns With NULL Values?
Dec 17, 2010We are working on a migration project and we need to move 75 million rows from source system to target system.
Total number of columns in source system - 90 cols.
Out of the 90 columns 10 cols are system fields and rest 80 are properties for each record.
We are required to migrate all system cols and some required properties. In total we will migrate around 25 columns[10+15] for each record.
Before actaul migration , we need to do a data cleansing activity and hence we move the data to a staging table.
To create the staging table, we considered the below appraoches.
1. Create the staging table with around 30 coloumns so as to fit the data from source system[map the columns based on datatype]
2.Create the staging table with actual columns[90 columns] and import only the required properties. The rest all columns will remain NULL.
Do the data cleansing and move to target system.
My question here is, if we go with approach 2, We will not mix the data, as there will be a one-to-one mapping. But many columns will not have data and remain NULL. Will it affect the performance since we deal with 75 million rows.
SQL & PL/SQL :: Null In Insert Statement?
Jul 5, 2010I wanted to print 'null' when the column value is null. Actually, i am doing something like this
select empno||','||''''||ename||'''''||','||comm||','||sal from emp
It gives the following output for example
7369,'pointers',,200
If I use the above values to form a insert statement it throws
an error. As 'comm' value is not there.
I wish to get something like
7369,'pointers','',200
or
7369,'pointers',null,200
from the above select query
note I dint copy paste the query exactly from my sql*plus session as I am away from my oracle machine

SQL Loader - Null Columns When Using Terminated And Optionally Enclosed Delimiters
Sep 25, 2012I regularly upload various tab-delimited text data files with SQL Loader. The control files always specify TERMINATED BY X'09'. Certain columns in those data files may be null for some rows, i.e. there is no character between two subsequent tabs. It always works like a clock.
Now, I have run into a specific case where I have to strip a data column of double quotes that may or may not enclose the actual data (side effect of a text export from Excel).
I tried simply adding OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' behind the terminated delimiter and it did work for the file and column in question. Still, with this new option, files with null values are no longer decoded correctly. The loader seems to simply skip those values, which provokes column shifts and results in either a corrupt load, or a load failure.
For now, I've got a workaround dropping the new option and executing an SQL script eliminating double quotes directly in the database, but that obviously cannot last.

How Does Oracle Insert Data Into The Columns
May 10, 2013when we have a primary key on 4 columns and we have, say 20 million rows and we want to add one extra row. How does oracle check whether the data on the primary key is unique to the record being added compared to the 20 million rows. Does it actually compare the record being added to all the rows present in the table?

SQL & PL/SQL :: Counting NULL Vs NON-NULL In A GROUP BY Clause
Jun 21, 2010I am running a GROUP BY query on a few columns of enumerated data like:
select count(*), Condition, Size
group by Condition, Size;
COUNT(*) CONDITION SIZE
-------- ---------- --------
3 MINT L
2 FAIR L
4 FAIR M
1 MINT S
Well, let's say I also have a timestamp field in the database. I cannot run a group by with that involved because the time is recorded to the milisec and is unique for every record. Instead, I want to include this in my group by function based on whether or not it is NULL.
For example:

3 MINT L ISNULL
2 FAIR L NOTNULL
2 FAIR M NOTNULL
2 FAIR M ISNULL
1 MINT S ISNULL

Forms :: Map Excel Columns On Oracle Forms And Insert It Into Database
Apr 12, 2013I have task. I am using oracle forms 6i. I want to import excel data to oracle forms(its common task using ole2 package). But this time I want to map the columns i.e my database table having 5 columns. and the excel file is having 2 or 3 columns then i suppose to map those columns and accordingly insert it to my table.
So far i have import column heading of excel to oracle forms, then i've provide list item for mapping each column. so that user can map excel column to database columns. Now I am confuse how to write the code so that selected columns should get inserted into database.
-more details
I have table with columns id, name, location, address, plan. in those columns i need to insert records form excel. user having a excel with 3 columns col1, col2, col3. on the form i've fetch column headers of excel and in front of that i've provide database column list , so user can match excel column with database column. e.g.
COL1 --> list value of database column
COL2 -->list value of database column
COL3 -->list value of database column
Once user map those column i want to insert those values into my database table (table with columns id, name, location, address, plan). and i am confuse about this code.
SQL & PL/SQL :: How To Insert Values Into Another Column By Comparing Values Of Two Columns Of Same Table
Dec 23, 2010My 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)

SQL & PL/SQL :: Unique Null And Multiple Non-null
Oct 24, 2013create table test
(
id int ,
dat date
)
/
I want to implement a business rule such as we have for each id at most 1 dat null. So, I've created this unique index on test.
create unique index x_only_one_dat_cess_null on test(id, case when dat_cess is null then 'NULL' else to_char(dat_cess, 'dd/mm/yyyy') end);
insert into test values (1, sysdate);
insert into test values (1, sysdate - 1);
insert into test values (1, null);
insert into test values (1, null);
-- -----
insert into test values (2, sysdate);
insert into test values (2, sysdate - 1);
insert into test values (2, null);
The 4th insert will cause an error and this is what I wanted to implement. OK. Now the problem is that for non-null values of dat, we can't have data like this
iddat
------------
124/10/2013
123/10/2013
123/10/2013
1
because of the unique index (the 2nd and the 3rd row are equal). So just for learning purposes, how could we allow at most one null value of dat and allow duplicates for non-null values of dat.

View 4 Replies View RelatedPerformance Tuning :: Index 15 Columns When Cannot Predict Columns Will Be Used In Where Clause?
Apr 4, 2011I am running a fairly busy Oracle 10gR2 DB, one of the tables has about 120 columns and this table receives on average 1500 insertions per second. The table is partitioned and the partitioning is based on the most important of the two timestamp columns. There are two timestamps, they hold different times.
Out of these 120 columns, about 15 need to be indexed. Out of the 15 two of them are timestamp, at least one of these two timestamp columns is always in the where clause the queries.
Now the challenge is, the queries we run can have any combination of the 13 other columns + one timestamp. In reality the queries never have more than 7 or 8 columns in the where clause but even if we had only 4 columns in the where clause we would still have the same problem.
So if I create one concatenated index for all these columns it will not be very efficient because after the 4th or 5th column the sorting would no longer be very useful and I believe the optimiser would simply not use the rest of the index. So queries that use the leading columns of the index in sequence work well, but if I need to query the 10th column the I have performance issues.
Now, if I create multiple single column indexes oracle will have to work a lot harder to maintain all these indexes and it will create performance issues (I have tried that). Besides, if I have multiple single column indexes the optimiser will do nested loops twice or three times and will hit only the first few columns of the where clause so I think it will kind of be the same as the long concatenated index.
What I am trying to do is exactly what the Bitmap index would do, it would be very good if I could use the AND condition that a Bitmap index uses. This way I could have N number of single column indexes which the optimiser could pick from and serve the query with exactly the ones it needs. But unfortunately using the Bitmap index here is not an option given the large amount of inserts that I get on this table.
I have been looking for alternatives, I have considered creating multiple shorter concatenated indexes but this still would not address the issue since many queries would still not be served properly and therefore would take a very long time to complete.
What I had in mind would be some sort of multidimensional index, I am not even sure if such thing exists. But essentially it would be some sort of index that could serve a query efficiently regardless of the fact that the where clause has the 1st, 3rd and last columns of the index.
So considering how widely used Oracle is and how many super large databases there are out there, this problem must be common.
