PL/SQL :: How To Find If Column Default Value Is Stored As Metadata

Aug 17, 2012

I'm using Oracle 11g enhanced ADD COLUMN Functionality. Adding new columns with DEFAULT values and NOT NULL constraint no longer requires the default value to be stored in all existing records.

Sometimes we change DB columns from NOT NULL with DEFAULT to NULL with DEFAULT. This operation "materialize" column default. Is there an easy way (Dictionary view) how to find, that COLUMN default value is stored as metadata or is "materialized" ?

Application Express :: Update Default Column Values In Database From Form

Sep 14, 2012

Application Express ver. 4.1

I have created a form. Some of the elements are hidden such as updated_by and update_date. I have provided the default values for these attributes as pl/sql expression in the "default section" (Application->page->edit page item). I am using the Process Row process that is automatically created when a form is created.

The problem is when I click the update button, the updated_by and update_date is passed as null values which throws an error from the database.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Import With A Default Constraint On Table?

May 28, 2012

I have a table as below. This table is not partitioned.

create table t1
(
d1 date,
n1 number not null
);

[Code]....

I took an export dump of the above table and after that I renamed the table t1 to t1_old. Then I recreated the table as below with a default constraint on d1 field.

create table t1
(
d1 date default to_date('01/01/1100','DD/MM/YYYY','NLS_CALENDAR=GREGORIAN'),
n1 number not null

[Code]....

But the problem here is the data import is taking too much time than what I expected. I can't afford a maxvalue partition here as of my DBA team mentioned if you add maxvalue partition adding partition later in a stage is difficult on this table

apply in this scenario and make the import faster. I am using oracle 10.2.0.1.0 version.

Reports & Discoverer :: Value In Table Column Based On Some Existing Column Value Automatically Without User Intervention

May 15, 2011

i have two questions.

(1) how can i fill some value in a table column based on some existing column value automatically without user intervention. my actual problem is i have 'expiry date' column and 'status'. the 'status' column should get filled automatically based on the current system date. ex: if expiry date is '25-Apr-2011' and current date is '14-May-2011', then status should be filled as 'EXPIRED'

(2)hOw can i build 'select' query in a report (report 6i) so that it will show me list of items 'EXPIRED' or 'NOT EXPIRED' or both expired and not expired separately in a single report based on user choice. 'EXPIRED' & 'NOT EXPIRED' can be taken from the above question no. 1.

All Columns Of A Table Are Part Of Primary Key Column Of That Table?

Feb 22, 2011

if a table contains two columns and both are part of the primary key of that table (Kind of obvoius).

should i opt for a index organized tbale in this case ?Or should i opt for another running sequential colum which would serve as a primary key of this table and define the actual two columns of the system as unique keys.

there is a drawback if a most of the tables of a database contain composite primary keys?

SQL & PL/SQL :: Use Value Of One Column In Other In Same Table

Aug 17, 2011

I have two table country and state.Columns are given below

SQL> DESC Country

Name Null? Type
----------------- -------- --------------
PRIMARY_KEY NOT NULL NUMBER
DISPLAY_ORDER NOT NULL NUMBER
NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(50)
TREE_POSITION NOT NULL VARCHAR2(250)
PARENT_ID NUMBER

SQL> desc state
Name Null? Type
----------------- -------- -------------------------
PRIMARY_KEY NOT NULL NUMBER
DISPLAY_ORDER NOT NULL NUMBER
NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(50 CHAR)
VALUE NOT NULL VARCHAR2(50 CHAR)
TREE_POSITION NOT NULL VARCHAR2(250 CHAR)
PARENT_ID NUMBER

Now I have to insert the values in the state table taking from the country table.

EXAMPLE :

INSERT INTO STATE (PRIMARY_KEY, DISPLAY_ORDER, NAME, VALUE, PARENT_ID, TREE_POSITION) VALUES (251, 1, 'Alaska', 'AK', 233, 'STAT_USUS_AKAK');

but here the tree position is static it can be anything at the client side so I want to make it dynamic. So to make dynamic what I have used is mentioned below:

INSERT INTO STATE
(PRIMARY_KEY,DISPLAY_ORDER,NAME, VALUE,
PARENT_ID,
TREE_POSITION)
VALUES

[code].....

Now I want that Quote: select tree_position from L_STATE_ITEM where name ='United States')||'_ALAL' which i have used in the state table to put value in the tree_position, I want to make the other half part after the concatenation operator "_ALAL" also dynamic.

So I was just wondering If I can pic that value from the "VALUE COLUMN" of the same table.
