Is it possible to copy a value in a column from a table into another column in another table using the select statement.
Example: I want to copy the arrival date from the guest table to date_charge in the charges table.
CREATE TABLE GUEST
(ROOM_NUMBER VARCHAR2(2),
DATE_ARRIVAL DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE NOT NULL);
CREATE TABLE CHARGES
(ROOM_NUMBER VARCHAR2(2),
DATE_CHARGE DATE default Sysdate);

View 8 Replies View Related i could copy data from tableA to tableB with the scenario below
1) Currently we have no unique key / primary key defined on both of this tables, due to the nature of data, so insert/update will not work
2) We cant truncate/insert as user will be accessing this tables when the copying process takes place, so we dont want to end up having a scenario where the table does not contain data at a certain time
Will materialize view full refresh work in refreshing a table so we could avoid the problem faced in point 1 & 2.
I have two tables namely PERSON and WIFE. I want to make WIFE's data available in PERSON table while keeping entries of WIFE maintained and at the same time adding some the values of PERSON against the data of wife.
PERSON Table
PK NAME ADDRESS IS_MARRIED
1 John ab city Y
2 Varvatos cd town N
3 Smith ef town Y
4 Henry gh city Y
5 Lynda gh city Y
WIFE table
PK PERSON_ID (FK) NAME
1 1 Alice
2 3 Rosy
3 4 Lynda
Now i want to copy data of WIFE table into PERSON table like this PERSON table
PK NAME ADDRESS IS_MARRIED
1 John ab city Y
2 Varvatos cd town N
3 Smith ef town Y
4 Henry gh city Y
5 Lynda gh city Y
6 Alice ab city Y
7 Rosy ef town Y
As in the given example you might have noticed that ADDRESS of wife is same as of her spouse and same goes for IS_MARRIED column. Moreover, the PK is also not duplicated. How to go about this?
Another important factor is Lynda already exits in PERSON table, therefore, i certainly don't want to duplicate her entry.

how to copy data and constraints from one table to another table
View 8 Replies View RelatedI must admit my "google skills" have failed me and it is possible that I might be missing something obvious here but allow me to explain.
If I have a table that is populated/accessed by a typical OLTP application such that over time the data in the table may become "fragmented".
I know that is a very controversial term I used but that is not the question here. A simple way to describe the state of the table might be that the table has always been populated with lots of small INSERTs, modified with lots of small UPDATEs and data has been deleted in small DELETEs.
This has meant that the data is neither closely stored in data blocks nor is in any particular order (so there are some empty blocks under HWM).
Now my question is how do I create exact copy of this table and its indexes AS THEY EXIST AT THE MOMENT that includes
1) its data
2) its constraints/indexes etc.
3) its storage parameters
4) data stored in EXACTLY same manner as in original table.
To avoid complications, the table in question is just a normal heap table without any partitioning involved. While
CREATE TABLE AS SELECT (or CREATE TABLE followed by INSERT) will take care of points (1) to (3) above, it will not achieve point (4) above.
i have a table COLOR having alphanumeric fields i.e Color Description & Color Ref. i want to copy the values from Color Description to Color Ref.

Triggers for oracle database. What I am trying to do is copy original data from one table to another table prior to an update, insert, or delete occurring. Basically we are trying to keep a transactional history, with out having to restore the data. Here is what I have created to date, however it is not executing consistently.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER DATA_COPY BEFORE
INSERT
OR DELETE
OR UPDATE ON "DB1"."TABLE_1"

I was wondering if I could copy existing rows into a table and do the same thing?
So, for example if I had this table:
create table tst_srch (srch_is varchar(100), user_name varchar(100), srch_name varchar(100));
insert into tst_srch values (1,'USER1','SRCHA');
insert into tst_srch values (2,'USER1','SRCHB');
insert into tst_srch values (3,'USER1','SRCHC');
insert into tst_srch values (4,'USER1','SRCHD');
insert into tst_srch values (5,'USER2','SRCHC');
insert into tst_srch values (6,'USER2','SRCHD');
insert into tst_srch values (7,'USER2','SRCHD_1');
Could I write a procedure like copy_searches('USER1','USER2') that would copy all USER1's searches to USER2 - including renaming any duplicates.
So it would create these new rows:
8,USER2,SRCHA
9,USER2,SRCHB
10,USER2,SRCHC_1
11,USER2,SRCHD_2
I've looked at various insert statements, merge and match statements and exception handling in procedures .

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.

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

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.
