I want to use a sequence to populate a field for my insert statement. Should be simple right?
So here is an example
insert into sometable ( seq, else)
select
myseq.nextval
,somethingelse
from sometable@dblink
where somethingelse = 10
now if i remove my sequence call for nextval it correctly uses the where clause but when I use the sequence in the select statement it is ignoring the where clause completely. I've never had this issue before...is this because i'm using a dblink now?
I'm using toad 10 on oracle 11g in multi-schema environment.
I have a real problem with form, specifically one of its data blocks. In the order by property of the block i specify it to sort on a branch in ascending order(i tried descending as well) but for some reason the form ignores that and sorts it on the ROWNUM. I even removed the where clause, the order by clause and changed the query data source type to FROM clause and changed the data source name to pre-query. I then created the query string in the block's pre-query trigger and set query_data_source_name property to that query string and still the data in the block is not being sorted on the branch number but instead on the ROWNUM.
I have a report in report 6 which has static field where values are shown for previous year and for current year. the output of the report will be like this
sl no department prev year cur year 01 revenue 2000 5000 02 costing 500 1000 03 excise 8000 900 and so on....
I have a created a fomula field for each and every department and get the value from a particular table. What i require is if suppose the department revenue does not have any value then that row should not be visible. for eg if revenue has a null value then the report should be like this
sl no department prev year cur year 01 costing 500 1000 02 excise 8000 900
I have a requirement of getting different column value for every select clause. my selection is so much freequent. For example.. 10 Select statement /second.
But when if I am running more than select in a second its is showing the same record which is last dequeue.and also tried with RANDOM(). how to get different value for every statement which is running in single point of time.
We have and Upper and a Lower function.Is there any function or way in which I can issue a select while ignoring the case(like IgNoReCaSe) in a where clause? I don't want to use like
select * from emp where upper(job)= upper('dba'); or select * from emp where lower(job)= lower('dba');
I just want to know if there is any way in which I could do it without using upper and lower.
I'm using pivot query feature of oracle 11g and came across a strange situation where i need to pass a "select statement" in a "in clause" of pivot query.
I have tried with pivot xml but it not giving desired output in sql*plus session.It is giving unreadable output.
select * from (select uin,testing_id,pfa_result from test1) pivot xml (max(pfa_result) as result for (testing_id) in (select distinct testing_id from test1));
[code]....
Here actually i want to use "select distinct id from test1" instead of "in (11,12,13,14,15)". Because i don't know how many id's will be there and of which values. e.g. 11 or 21 or 25.
Is there a way to define a SELECT clause once and reuse it in many other queries?
I have many procedures with same SELECT statement and I'm trying to find a way to not have to write out the SELECT clause in every function or procedure. Same question applies to FROM, WHERE, etc clauses.
currently i m going through some dumps for my OCA-11g prep.I came across one sentence :A view cannot have an ORDER BY clause in the SELECT statement.well this statement is false and the explanation given was :
Query operations containing ORDER BY clause are also permitted, so long as the ORDER BY clause appears outside the parentheses.
The following is an example of what I mean: CREATE VIEW my_view AS (SELECT*FROM emp) ORDER BYempno.
but when i tried running the query like this :CREATE VIEW my_view AS SELECT*FROM emp ORDER BYempno ,it worked w/o giving parentheses.
high number of executions of specific types of queries which is using only rownum clause. For exam.
select ani, rowid from tbl_smschat_upuor where rownum<=:"SYS_B_0";
DB is having high number of executions of these type of queries and these when I m checking the execution plan for the same type of queries it is accessing the full table scan.
======================execution plan for above query 1000 rows selected. Execution Plan ---------------------------------------------------------- Plan hash value: 91289622 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have created domain indexes on text columns of a materialised view to use "contains" clause when searching for data. The select query with "contains" clause does not return any records, however I was able to retrive data using via regular query using a like search.
-> will exec ctx_ddl.sync_index('index_name')'resolve my problem? -> since the view is a materialized view, how can i make sure that the latest data added are also picked up?
The below sql is giving different number of result sets while adding further columns in select clause.i.e After adding the columns 4,5,6 in the below query its giving different number of result set.In this case the result set count would be 5.
Before adding the columns 4,5,6,the result set count was 11.
I am trying to create a tabular form based on a SQL query, that has a query-based select list with a where clause that references a column in the originating SQL query.
The situation is, I have a table that stores client_id, source_id and build_id, lets call it client_source. I have a second table, build_source, that contains source_id and build_id, with a one to many relationship between the two (source_id of 1 could have build_id of 1-7).
Using a tabular form, I want to select the corresponding build_id to be used in client_source, but the select list must only contain the build_id's for that rows particular source_id.
Here is an example of the SQL source of my tabular form;
select s.ROWID, s.CLIENT_ID, s.SOURCE_ID, APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST_FROM_QUERY(1, s.BUILD_ID, 'select b.build_id display, b.build_id return from build_source b where b.source_id = s.SOURCE_ID ') lst from client_source s
... what I am trying to achieve is that the source_id fields in bold match. When the query is built this way I get an 'invalid identifier' Oracle error on s.SOURCE_ID at runtime.
Is there some special tags that need to be used to reference the outside column?I am running on Application Express 4.1.0.00.32, on a Oracle 10g release 10.2.0.4.0 database.
In the following merge statement in the USINg clause...I am using a select stament of one schema WEDB.But that same select statement should take data from 30 schemeas and then check the condition below condition
ON(source.DNO = target.DNO AND source.BNO=target.BNO);
I thought that using UNIONALL for select statement of the schemas as below.
I M USING APEX 4.1 AND CREATED SELECT LIST ON PAGE, I WANT TO SHOW MIN VALUE OF THE SELECT LIST FOR THAT I WROTE IN THAT SELECT LIST PROPERTIES UNDER DEFAULT TAG MIN; AND CHOOSE PL/SQL EXPRESSION BUT ITS GIVING ERROR "Error computing item default value for page item P1_PRODUCT."
BUT IF I HARDCORE THE VALUE CONTAINING IN MY DATA LIKE PRODUCT ID = 1, I HARDCODED IN DEFAULT VALUE 1 AND SELECT PL/SQL EXPRESSION IT WORKS.
BUT ITS NOT DONE LIKE THIS I WANT TO SELECT BY DEFAULT MIN VALUE OF THE SELECT LIST, SO THAT THE DATA SHOULD BE DISPLAYED ACCORDING TO THAT.
THE EXACT REQUIREMENT IS TO ENTER THE SELECT LIST DEFAULT VALUE IN SESSION SO THAT DATA IS TO BE DISPLAYED.
I have created a trigger for after insert which updates a table when there is a row inserted in that table. The update is on a column which stores the application description along with the sequence number. Now my requirement is that sequence number should be unique only with in an application but not with in the table.Say the row entry can be as follows:
App_Desc Request_ID ----------------------- DEV 100 1 DEV 101 2 STG 100 3 STG 101 4
Here Request_ID is unique But the sequqnce thats created for DEV (100,101) should take an entry of 102 for the next entry for DEV and same applies for STG. So I have to use the same sequqnce for all the application.
1) Invoice Invoice_no number(8), Debtor varchar2(35), Invoice Date Date, Print Date Date, Currency varchar2(3), Total Amount Ex Number(11,2), Total Amount Vat Number(11,2), Total Amount Number(11,2), Status Varchar2(15),
For some reason Oracle Sequence is skipping the first value. Here is an example of script.
drop sequence tseq; drop table xyz; create table xyz (sno integer); create sequence tseq start with 1; insert into xyz values (tseq.nextval); select * from xyz;
Now the runtime of the script in SQL Developer:
drop sequence tseq succeeded. drop table xyz succeeded. create table succeeded. create sequence succeeded. 1 rows inserted SNO ---------------------- 2
Why is it skipping the starting value 1. Is there something new in 11g that is causing it to skip the first value. I have many scripts and they all are having errors due to this issue.
