SQL & PL/SQL :: Update Statement With Join Only Update Matching Rows
Aug 17, 2010
This is my query:
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've seen this example numerous places, and tried to implement it, but I keep getting an "invalid identifier" error message, despite the fact that I've got the table and column specifically identified.For instance, my query reads like:
UPDATE tbl1 SET tbl1.EMPID = (SELECT tbl2.EMPIDA FROM tbl2 WHERE LOWER(tbl1.EMAILCOL) = LOWER(tbl2.EMAILCOL2) ) WHERE tbl2.EMPIDA IN ('Z1O435','S8M4722','M0D5156') AND EXISTS (SELECT tbl2.EMPIDA FROM tbl2 WHERE tbl1.EMAILCOL= tbl2.EMAILCOL2 );
But I'll keep getting flagged at the tbl2.EMPIDA column reference. I have not tried this in SQL Plus, just in TOAD, but it seems to repeatedly fail.I have had to dump records to standalone Access tables and link back to perform the updates.
Updating multiple ROWS with different values using single statement. Requirement is to update one column in a table with the values in the other table.
Say we have 3 tables, CORPORATION,CORPORATE PROFILE and MEMBER.
Each MEMBER has CORPORATE PROFILE which in turn is associated with CORPORATION. Now I need to update MEMBER table with CORPORATION identifier for members who belong to corporations with identifiers say 'ABC' and 'DEF'.
MEMBER table contains column 'CORPIDENTIFIER '. CORPORATEPROFILE table contains MEMBERID and CORPORATIONID,this will associate a member with the corporation. CORPORATION table contains ID and CORPIDENTIFIER.
Using the below query I am getting error,ORA-01427:single-row subquery returns more than one row
UPDATE MEMBER M SET M.CORPIDENTIFIER= (SELECT A.IDENTIFIER FROM CORPORATION A,CORPORATEPROFILE B WHERE B.CORPORATIONID=A.ID AND B.MEMBERID=M.ID AND (A.IDENTIFIER LIKE 'ABC' OR A.IDENTIFIER LIKE 'DEF'))
Sub query in the above query returns multiple rows and hence it is throwing the error.More than one members are associated with Corporations ABC and DEF. Is there any way possible to update all the rows in single query with out iterating the result set of sub query.
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 table and trying to update tableA with data from tableB but gives an error. My TableA has columns - colA,colB,colC,colX and table B has columns - colA,colB,colX. Sample data looks like this:
this is the query I wrote update tableA a set (a.colX)=(select (b.colX) from tableB b where a.colA=b.colA and a.colB=b.colB);
When i run it gives this error:single row subquery returns more than one row.
tableB has only 1 value for colX for each colA,colB record but tableA has mutiple colA and colB repeated but for all of thsoe in table A i want to update the tableB.colX value for matching colA and colB.
im trying to update a column in the employee table with the value "YES". Im getting an error message saying im missing a SET statement from this code below:
update e SET e.review='YES' from employee inner join rentals r on e.employee_id=r.employee_id inner join job j on e.job_id=j.job_id where r.plate ='FY06WNT' and j.function !='MANAGER' and j.function !='PRESIDENT';
UPDATE dev10 SET c3 = dev12.c1 FROM dev10 INNER JOIN dev11 ON dev11.c3 = dev10.c1 CROSS JOIN dev12 WHERE (dev11.c2 LIKE 'BBBBBB') AND (dev12.c2 LIKE 'FFFFFF') / but, Oracle, what should we do new?
UPDATE Caxnode AS A INNER JOIN Caxnode AS B ON A.node_alias = B.node_alias SET A.partition_Type = 'LDOM', A.node_mode = 'LOGICAL', A.host_id = b.host_id, A.num_of_proc = b.num_of_proc WHERE (((A.node_mode)='virtual' Or (A.node_mode)='regular') AND ((B.partition_Type)='LDOM'));
This doesn't work in oracle, I googled and read that update doesnt work with inner join in oracle..
I am trying to write an Update that really frustrates me because it won't work for one reason or another.The situation is that I have two tables for customer information, t1 with the names of the customer and t2 with the address.These two can be joined via a client_id.
Now I have a third table t3 with the name and address of potential customers. I want to find out if some of them are already known to me so that I can update the client_id from table t1 or t2 into t3.
I have to join firstname, lastname from t3 to firstname, lastname from t1 and street, zip, city from t3 to street, zip, city from t2 and client_id from t1 to t2. Additional there is the problem that there can be more than one result so I have to update one of the found client_ids per name/address into t3.I am no expert to PL/SQL, I just know what SQL works in Access and that is:
UPDATE (t3 INNER JOIN t1 ON (t3.firstname= t1.firstname) AND (t3.lastname = t1.lastname)) INNER JOIN t2 ON (t3.city = t2.city) AND (t3.zip = t2.zip) AND (t3.street = t2.street) AND (t1.client_id = t2.client_id) SET t3.client_id = t1.client_id;
I Require to Update the Data in Join Condition. When Run the Query the Error display as ORA-00933: SQL Command Not Properly Ended.
Query:
Update a set a.Dr_Re = Nvl(b.Dr_Amt,0), a.Cr_Re = Nvl(b.Cr_Amt,0) FROM xxsc.xxsc_creditors_aging_brnwise a join (Select Branch,Invoice_id,vendor_site_code,segment1, case when (sum(nvl(dr_re,0)) - sum(nvl(cr_re,0)) > 0) then sum(nvl(dr_re,0)) - sum(nvl(cr_re,0)) Else 0 End DR_AMT, [code]........
Have 3 tables table1 (campaignid,promoflag) table2 (campaignid,projectid,campaigndesc) table3 (projectid,promoflag,projectstart,projectend)
I am to update table 1 promoflag with value from promoflag in table3
Update table1 set promoflag = table3.promoflag
I would like to make sure only appropriate record is updated therefore want to use where clause condition but the primary key for table1 and table3 are different, the only link can be found on table2.
I want to use condition where table1.campaignid=table2.campaignid and table2.projectid=table1.projectid
Have used the following without success:
Scenario 1
Update table1 SET promoflag = table3.promoflag FROM table1 inner join table2 on table1.campaignid = table2.camapaignid inner join table3 on table2.projectid = table3.projectID;
Error at line 1 ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
Scenario 2 with real table/column names
Update UA_CAMPAIGNEXTATTR SET CFPROMOTABLE = LMUK_PROJECT_AUDIENCE_GRID.GRID_AUD_CFPROMOTABLE FROM UA_CAMPAIGNEXTATTR,UA_CAMPAIGN,LMUK_PROJECT_AUDIENCE_GRID WHERE UA_CAMPAIGNEXTATTR.CAMPAIGNID = UA_CAMPAIGN.CAMPAIGNID AND UA_CAMPAIGN.PROJECTID = LMUK_PROJECT_AUDIENCE_GRID.GRID_AUDIENCE_ID; Error at line 2 ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
It appears to get block with the 'FROM' statement (was underlined in red)
UPDATE Caxnode AS A INNER JOIN Caxnode AS B ON A.node_alias = B.node_alias SET A.partition_Type = 'LDOM', A.node_mode = 'LOGICAL', A.host_id = b.host_id, A.num_of_proc = b.num_of_proc WHERE (((A.node_mode)='virtual' Or (A.node_mode)='regular') AND ((B.partition_Type)='LDOM'));
This doesn't work in oracle, I googled and read that update doesnt work with inner join in oracle..translate this query to work on oracle?

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?
PROCEDURE split_name ( full_name IN VARCHAR2, name1 OUT VARCHAR2, name2 OUT VARCHAR2, name3 OUT VARCHAR2, name4 OUT VARCHAR2, name5 OUT VARCHAR2 )
the above is the procedure declaration. i want to use this function in updating the records in a table. this procedure is working fine in forms and it is splitting the names perfectly and i dont know how to use this in update statement as it is not returning anything like functions do.
By using the RETURNING clause i am getting the new updated value. I need the old value for some processing. Do i have to explicitly query it before the update stmt? Pls reply.
I am having trouble figuring out why an update statment is ignoring the primary kiy index when performing an update through the application. The index IS used when the update is run from sql*plus or other sql tools.
The statement is very simple: update ITEM_MASTER set COST = :1 where SMARTPART_NUM = :2; ITEM_MASTER has unique, primary key index on SMARTPART_NUM
When I use OEM and other tools, I can see the index is not used in the exlain plan, and the query has a high CPU cost due to the full table scan. The table is analyzed, lately using 100%. Table rowcount is 229768
SELECT column_name, num_distinct, num_buckets, histogram, trunc(last_analyzed) ANALYZED FROM USER_TAB_COL_STATISTICS WHERE table_name = 'ITEM_MASTER' AND column_name = 'SMARTPART_NUM';
The database is Oracle Database 10g Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production (on Windows, standard edition)
Here are parameters related to optimizer: optimizer_dynamic_sampling integer 2 optimizer_features_enable string 10.2.0.4 optimizer_index_caching integer 0 optimizer_index_cost_adj integer 100 optimizer_mode string ALL_ROWS optimizer_secure_view_merging boolean TRUE
We've tried rebuilding the indexes then re-analyzing, dropping stats and locking at zero, using various sample sizes; none have any impact.
We wondered if the bind variables are causing this, though in testing outside the application, we tried pl/sql and sql batches to mimic the passing of values into the binds, and all still used the index.
Other than putting a hint into SQL in the application (we'd have to ask for a customization), how can I "fix" the database to use the index? In other words, how can I make the database see that the cost of a FTS is much higher than using the index, whenever it sees these updates (either from sql or the application)? This is the simplest example, but we have 4-5 SQL updates on this and other tables that are ignoring the indexes and using full table scans, so we'd like to fix it for all.
Using Oracle 11gr2. If I call the following update statement from session A, session A will lock the row until a commit/rollback statement is issued from session A. If session B calls the same update statement and same row, session B will have to wait until the lock is released in session A. However, the application developers are speaking in terms of threads. Could it be possible that the update statement is called within the same session by multiple requests? If yes, could the case statement be evaluated without the row being locked which could lead to false results? Trying to keep this post brief. tableA has columnA (primary key, number) and columnB (number)
{update tableAset columnB = case when columnB = 3 then 4 when columnB = 4 then 5 else columnB endwhere columnA = 6;}
Could 2 requests (almost at the exact same time) in the same session evaluate columnB as 3. The desired result would be the first request sets the column to 4 and the second request sets the column to 5.
I want to update salary column of emp table in a way that every value of salary column be increased by 1000, is this possible I can do this one statement only??
(Just FYI-
SQL> desc emp; Name Null? Type ----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
EMPNO NOT NULL NUMBER(4) ENAME VARCHAR2(10) JOB VARCHAR2(9) MGR NUMBER(4) HIREDATE DATE SAL NUMBER(7,2) COMM NUMBER(7,2) DEPTNO NUMBER(2)
I have a table called test_renames that has two columns(new_name and old_name) and one row with the following values
NEW_NAME OLD_NAME DRUG10 DRUG1
I have another table called SH0 that has 10,000 rows and the column of interest is called ITEM1. ITEM 1 contains the following distinct drug names:
DRUG1,DRUG2,DRUG3,DRUG4,DRUG5
Each DRUG has multiple rows associated with it.
I need to only update rows for DRUG1 and set the name from DRUG1 to DRUG10 for all rows where ITEM1 is DRUG1.
However I need to write this update statement by joining with the values in the test_renames table that contains the NEW_NAME and the OLD_NAME.
DRUG1 has 2,000 rows associated with it. The following SQL statement gives me 2,000 rows
(SELECT NVL(CHG.NEW_NAME, SH.ITEM1) FROM test_renames CHG,sh0 sh WHERE UPPER(SH.ITEM1) = UPPER(CHG.OLD_NAME) AND UPPER(SH.ITEM1) IN (SELECT UPPER(OLD_NAME) from test_renames))
However when I run the following update statement, it appears that the SQL query updates all the 10,000 rows in the table instead of just touching the 2,000 rows for DRUG1. It does change all the rows for DRUG1 to DRUG10, but all the other ITEM1 values become null. What I need from the update statement is only chnage the rows for DRUG1 to DRUG10 and leave the other rows that I associated with DRUG2, DRUG3 etc. Here is my update statement.
UPDATE SH0 SH SET ITEM1 = (SELECT NVL(CHG.NEW_NAME, SH.ITEM1) FROM test_renames CHG WHERE UPPER(SH.ITEM1) = UPPER(CHG.OLD_NAME) AND UPPER(SH.ITEM1) IN (SELECT UPPER(OLD_NAME) from test_renames))
This update statement touches all 10,000 rows. I am looking to update only the relevant 2,000 rows for DRUG1.
