I want to create a store procedure to copy data from a source tables(which may not have any constraints defined) to a table which has primary key, foreign key and unique key constraints.
Any records which are rejected due to these constraints not being satisfied need to go another table.
Once the initial data load is done, these procedures need to be automated(through cron) to do the future incremental uploads in the same manner.
When we create a duplicate table, we use the below query:
create table table2 as select * from table1;
But table2 is created without any constraints inherited from table1.Can I know how can i create the table with all the constraints existing in parent table.
I want to truncate table partition but I'm getting error:
CODEORA-02266: unique/primary keys in table referenced by enabled foreign keys
because of table has a nested table. Currently this column is not in use so I could drop it, but I want to avoid it (table is huge). Is there another posibility to do truncate partitions in this table? ALTER TABLE ... SET UNUSED doesn't resolve the problem.
can a table level check constraints have conditional checking (if else clause or case conditional structures) and checks which are limited through something like a where clause which inside the table level check constraints.And can a table level check constraints refer to a column in another table column which should have a the same value.
i am a beginner in SQL and want to create a table with the following constraints :
'orderno' should be primary key and start with o 'clientno' should be foreign key 'ordr date' is not null 'salesmanno' foreign key 'delytype' default value 'f' and possible value ( f or p) 'delydate' cannot be less than order date 'orderstatus' values ('in process.......)
here's my
create table sales_order(orderno varchar2(6) like 'o%' primary key, clientno varchar2(6) foreign key references client_master(clientno),deldate date not null,dellyaddr varchar2(25),salesmanno varchar2(6) foreign key references salesman_master(salesmanno), delytype char(1) default 'f',billyn char(1),delydate date check > orderdate,orderstatus varchar2(10)check ('in process','fullfilled','cancelled');
I know that you can view all constraints in a table using $USER_CONSTRAINTS or $USER_INDEXES view. What i find difficult is that the information in those views is not really well presented.
I find it very hard to follow. For example, just to find out which columns are foreign keys and which tables they refer to is really tedious. Is there a simpler way to view all the constraints especially foreign keys of a table and including which table columns they refer to in the child table.
I like to see a diagramatic representaion of all the tables involved so i like to see both the parent and the child tables, which columns are related and using which FKs etc. is there an easier way to view this information?
Am creating a table based on some integrity constraints, but it's not working.
CREATE TABLE member ( member_id NUMBER(10), last_name VARCHAR2(25) NOT NULL, first_name VARCHAR2(25),
[code],,,
Error:
Error report: SQL Error: ORA-02270: no matching unique or primary key for this column-list 02270. 00000 - "no matching unique or primary key for this column-list" *Cause: A REFERENCES clause in a CREATE/ALTER TABLE statement gives a column-list for which there is no matching unique or primary key constraint in the referenced table. *Action: Find the correct column names using the ALL_CONS_COLUMNScatalog view
We have a table in the client database that has two columns - column parent and column child. The whole hierarchy of DB table dependencies is held in this table.If Report 1 is dependent on Table A and Table A in turn is dependent on two tables Table M and Table N. Table N is dependent on table Z it will appear in the db table as,
Hierarchy Table Parent Child Report1Table A Table ATable M Table ATable N Table NTable Z
Requirement :
From the above structure, we need to build a table which will hold the complete hierarchy by breaking it into multiple columns.The o/p should look like this
-ParentChild 1Child 2 Child 3 -Report1Table ATable M -Report1Table ATable N Table Z
Child 1, Child 2, Child 3 ....and so on are columns.The number of tables and the no of hierarchical relationships are dynamic.
SQL Statements to create hierarchy table:
create table hierarchy (parent varchar2(20), child varchar2(20)); insert into hierarchy values ('Report1','Table A'); insert into hierarchy values ('Report1','Table B'); insert into hierarchy values ('Table A','Table M'); insert into hierarchy values ('Table B','Table N'); insert into hierarchy values ('Report2','Table P'); insert into hierarchy values ('Table M','Table X'); insert into hierarchy values ('Table N','Table Y'); insert into hierarchy values ('Report X','Table Z');
Approached already tried :
1) Using indentation : select lpad(' ',20*(level-1)) || to_char(child) P from hierarchy connect_by start with parent='Report1' connect by prior child=parent;
2)Using connect by path function : select * from (select parent,child,level,connect_by_isleaf as leaf, sys_connect_by_path(child,'/') as path from hierarchy start with parent='Report1' connect by prior child =parent) a where Leaf not in (0);
Both the approaches give the information but the hierarchy data appears in a single column.Ideally we would like data at each level to appear in a different column.
I want to do an import of a table from my old dump file.The same table is already there in the development box but few more columns are added to that table while testing so in the dump those columns are not available.

I have a table that has 2 columns of type nested table. Now in the purge process, when I try to truncate or drop a partition from this table, I get error that I can't do this (because table has nested tables). how I will be able to truncate/drop partition from this table? IF I change column types from nested table to varray type, will it work?
Also, is there any short method of moving existing data from a nested table column to a varray column (having same fields as nested table)?
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?
I am trying to update columns of Table A with the columns of Table B. Both these tables have 60,000 rows each. I tried this operation using following 2 queries:
Query 1
Update TableA A set (A.col1,A.col2,A.col3)=(select B.col1,B.col2,B.col3 from TableB where A.CODE=B.CODE)
Query 2 Update TableA A set (A.col1,A.col2,A.col3)=(select B.col1,B.col2,B.col3 from TableB where A.CODE=B.CODE) where exists A.code = (select B.code from TableB B where A.code=B.code)
When i execute these two above queries, it keeps executing indefinitely.
Perhaps this is a common request : I have 2 tables:
Table A ------- ID Value 1 a 2 b 3 c
Table B ------- ID AnotherValue 1 x 2 y
I am hoping to append a column from Table B to Table A based on a simple sql join (e.g:
Table A
ID Value AnotherValue 1 a x 2 b y 3 c (null)
)
I would rather stay away from the standard update statement since it takes far to long and I'd prefer not to use create table as I don't want to duplicate any data...is this possible to do ? (e.g: just insert the columns into this table ?) - or if it's possible the performance overhead just wouldn't make it worth it ?
We have a table for reports. If user A submits a report ...and say the sequence # is 242. When this report goes to Admin ...he submits this request then in same table we add another row with say sequence # 245. THEN we update column called 'Asctd ID' for 242 and add 245 in there. and then update Asctd ID for 245 and add 242 in there.
(This table has many fields, one of which is report Name field)
Now i am running a query like this...
SELECT b.JOB_ID, a.DESC, TO_CHAR(a.CREATE_DATE,'MM/DD/YYYY'), DECODE(a.DLVRY_TYPE,'','PDF',a.DLVRY_TYPE), DECODE(a.FLG,'','N/A', a.FLG), ((TO_DATE(a.CREATE_DATE,'DD-MON-YY')) + 21) - TO_DATE(SYSDATE, 'DD-MON-YY'), c.STATUS_DESC, a.SIZE_NUM, b.PRVDR_ID, a.asctd_id, d.NM FROM REQUEST_DIM a, PROVIDER_DIM b, STATUS_DIM c, DIM d WHERE a.FLAG = 'P' and RTRIM(a.RPT_RQST_USER_ID) = 'TEST02' AND a.RPT_RQST_TYPE = 'D' AND a.RPT_RQST_ACTIVE_IND = 'A' and a.asctd_id is not null and a.RPT_RQST_ID = b.RPT_RQST_ID and b.JOB_ID = c.JOB_ID and b.PRVDR_ID = d.PRVDR_ID AND c.CREATE_DT = (SELECT MAX(d.CREATE_DT) FROM STATUS_DIM d WHERE d.RPT_RQST_ID = b.RPT_RQST_ID and d.JOB_ID = b.JOB_ID ) ORDER BY a.RPT_RQST_ID, a.CREATE_DATE
Now this query is run by the admin (job 245) ...it returns a bunch of stuff and also the name of the report that the admin gave this. But when admin sees this we want to be able to displace the report name that user A gave it (asctd ID 242). so the row 245 HAS a asctd ID 242. and there is a row 242 from which we can get the name easily. But i dont know if this is possible in ONE QUERY??
I have an application which deploys the data to Oracle database. It has more than 25 tables and many columns. It does not have any document explaining the deployment, so I am kind of doing reverse engineering here.
I need a script which will fetch the column name or at least table names which will match with either some string or number? I found few examples on net to find out number. But I am struggling to make it work for string.
I can not work on stored proc, as I do not have access to create that on server. So, any script will work.

is there anyway to print the values of full table .i have used all column names to print .
I need to add values of one column values from a table to another table each value as a column. Below i am considering only for 3 values in real time i have more than 50 values
