Adding a sequential number column to an existing table.

Greetings.

I have an existing table of some 30 million lines.

I would like to add an additional column (I did).

I want to fill this new column with a sequential number.

Have tried to create a sequence, I am at a loss on how to trigger the filling of the column.

Any help would be received with gratitude.

Thank you

I can add a column to an existing table with the data.
Hello

I'm working on
The Version of database: Oracle 9i

I can add a column to an existing table that already has data with below given command.

ALTER TABLE table_name
ADD the definition of the column_name column;

Kind regards
John
Add to that:

If your new column is NOT "null", you need the task in 3 steps:

1. Add the column without a NOT NULL constraint
2. the default value of the new column added.
3. Add the NOT NULL constraint in the new column.

inserting data in a column in an existing table
Hi the gems...

I have an existing table TABLE_1 which has more data in it. This table has no primary key. now, I added a new column 'ID' and want to make it a primary key for this table. currently it is not allowed because the column is null...

so I need to insert data into the column.
now, my plan is to fill the column with the data as well as rownumber.

means that if there are 15 records in this table, then the 'ID' column should contain data from 1 to 15. After that, I'll do the column as a primary key...

the script I wrote for this:

declare
number of v_rownum;

Start
Select max (rownum) in the v_rownum from TABLE_1;
because me in 1.v_rownum
loop
Update t set i = t.id TABLE_1 where rownum = i;
commit;
end loop;

end;

but it refreshes only the first record and the rest of the records are not updated.

Please help... Thanks in advance...
Select max (rownum) in the v_rownum from TABLE_1;

How many rows do you think that this query will retrieve?

Why not just

Update TABLE_1 t
the value t.id = rownum;

How do I change my user type to be sufficient?

Oracle version 11.2.0.1.0
Thanks in advance!
>
How do I change my user type to be sufficient?

You will need to create two new TYPEs. The one who has all the columns of the draw. The REQUESTOR table and the new column SCORE, then a TYPE which is an array of the first type.

See example 12-22 using a Pipelined Table function for a Transformation in the PL/SQl language reference

http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/B28359_01/AppDev.111/b28370/tuning.htm#i53120

Here's the first part
```
-- Define the ref cursor types and function
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE refcur_pkg IS
  TYPE refcur_t IS REF CURSOR RETURN employees%ROWTYPE;
  TYPE outrec_typ IS RECORD (
    var_num    NUMBER(6),
    var_char1  VARCHAR2(30),
    var_char2  VARCHAR2(30));
  TYPE outrecset IS TABLE OF outrec_typ;
 FUNCTION f_trans(p refcur_t)
      RETURN outrecset PIPELINED;
END refcur_pkg;
/

CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY refcur_pkg IS
  FUNCTION f_trans(p refcur_t)
   RETURN outrecset PIPELINED IS
    out_rec outrec_typ;
    in_rec  p%ROWTYPE;
  BEGIN
```
Change
```
  TYPE outrec_typ IS RECORD (
    var_num    NUMBER(6),
    var_char1  VARCHAR2(30),
    var_char2  VARCHAR2(30));
  TYPE outrecset IS TABLE OF outrec_typ;
```
to include all the columns you need. Unfortunately, you have to manually list all the columns in the draw. The REQUESTOR table. If you think you need this same structure in other places you must create them as SQL types instead of PL/SQL types.

This example should be enough to show you how to modify your code to do something similar.

By adding a sequential number to analyze the file name

On my HP OJ 4500 G510g-m, when scaning using the HP solutions Center - it always adds a number to 4 digits at the end of the name of the basis file that I can change.

That I don't seem to be able to do is to get until STOPPED by adding the number 4-digit. I never want to do. I could see where this might be useful, but not for my situation. Looks like there should be a checkbox to enable/disable this feature.

Everyone there knows a way to achieve... notch record or something else? It's a pain to have to edit each file name that I scan so that I can eliminate the 4-digit number.

Oh Yes... to help to win 8 with the latest drivers and software available.

Well, that's an answer that is not a solution.

However, as there is no solution, I have to call it resolved as you gave it at least a response with sufficient clarity that I can stop looking for a way to do what I want.

FWIW - in my 22 years of it works, almost every software program scanning for this, and dang some of 'EM have an option to disable it-so for all these years, I've been editing file names to remove the 0001 that someone think everyone wants. I never talked to anyone who does not want that it kind... change which ever is used for market research.

Add a number at the end, if there is already a file with the name you specify... now it makes sense.

It is stupid to think that is what HP (and others) did that hardcode in the scan software. Please go to the top of the line.

I am grateful for the response, however. It is simply not a solution.

How to add the not null columns to an existing table?
I have a table with hundreds of row inside. I try to add a new column not null. It gives me the following error

ALTER TABLE sys.xyz CHANGE xyz_no number 4 DEFAULT '1' NOT NULL;

ORA-02296: impossible to activate (sys.) - found null values

Also I tried to do the following

ALTER TABLE sys.xyz CHANGE xyz_no number 4 DEFAULT '1';

And then I tried to ALTER TABLE sys.xyz CHANGE xyz_NO number 4 NOT NULL; and I still gives me the same error. I took the tally for null values for the same column and has 1555.

In this case how can I change my article with not null not?. Please help, I am a newbie in oracle.
I cry out to you for creating a table as SYS. However, I'm going to fully support Sybrand making. Never, ever, create any object as SYS unless the source code received you from Oracle in a patch.

Adding rows or cells to existing Tables in Dreamweaver CC

Dear Sir/Madam,
Why can't I add additional cells or columns to an existing table?
I have a database that I've frequently updated, but I note that since I upgraded my software from Studio MX 2004 to Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 (try now Dreamweaver CC) and the table options (such as adding rows/columns) are not available.
What is the best way to list the alphabetical links. Should I just list people without a table or I can use what I already designed (without having to create a new page, since it will age to enter all the data again)?
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Concerning
Suzanne

Make sure that you are in Design view, not to live.

The editor in Live mode does not give you the standard table options.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, if your pages use a fluid grid, Fashion Design presentation won't be available if you use DW CC 20141, deleted Adobe Design view for GFL in this version. Here is a discussion which has a couple of workarounds: Re: is it possible to display the design view in the fluid grid pages? and here is the feature request to vote in the section ideas if you are using the latest version: provide "Design view" fluid grid Web pages

How to add the new column in existing table to our desired location?

How to add the new column in existing table to our desired location?
For example, I have to add the new column 'course' before the salary column in the emp table.

I think the best way is to add the column at the end of the table and create a new view with the order of the columns...

Another option...

places the data into a temporary table and recreate the table with the correct order of the columns, and then insert data to the table from the temporary table

Refer

Add column (from table) in the desired position

Example:

CREATE TABLE temp_my_user LIKE)

SELECT * FROM password);

DROP TABLE password;

(Password) CREATE TABLE

userID NUMBER

, first name VARCAHR2 (25)

, middleInitial VARCHAR2 (1)

(, name VARCHAR2 (25));

INSERT INTO password (userID, firstName, lastName)

(SELECT username

first name

lastName

OF temp_my_user);

DROP TABLE temp_user;

How can I add a 'Record number' column in a folder that contains the music?

How can I add a 'Record number' column for my music files? It does not appear as a column I add when I right click on the folder in its display of details. Zune program uses this file attribute.

I learned from this thread (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itpromedia/thread/47e46e5a-63c0-4a92-b39d-64ea9a07953e) Windows Media Player 12 IS NOT only an attribute of disc number!

How to add a sequential number or random as a merger of field?

I created a landing page of confirmation which must be sent to an external site for tracking purposes. As one of the URL attributes, I need to assign a unique ID for the transaction, but the problem is that I can't use the email address.
So my thought was that I created a random number and use it as id I checked the Math App in the cloud connectors, but realized that this only works in the campaign workflow. Then I thought so maybe some PHP in the destination page would help, but that is not taken care of.
Any ideas on what I can do to fix this problem? A sequential number would be great but not necessary, so I figure that if it's long enough so a random number should not be repeated and will be able to work for my needs.
Thank you
Fernando

I see two options:

(1) you might actually be able to use the Math cloud connector in this case. To do this, start by creating a new field in the contact table to hold the random numbers, then set this field as a merge field (assets > creating a new Email > merge field > New). Now, you just need to run the Math Cloud Connector step in your Web of campaign, do fill this field of database for you and don't forget to add the merge field at the end of your URL as a query string.

(2) the simplest option is to use the Eloqua user as a fusion variable id. If the Eloqua user ID is not yet an option of merger on your instance, simply follow the steps to set up a merge field (assets > creating a new Email > merge field > New) and choose the Eloqua user ID, now add at the end of your URL. It works even better that which precedes because area you guaranteed to have a unique value per user. If you need a unique value per visit, then I think that freejungof response would work very well, especially if you concatenate the JavaScript random number with the user id.

Please suggest.

Thank you
It's your mistake:
```
PARTITION BY RANGE ("CODE_COMBINATION_ID") 
```
but in your projection of column list, you have an alias he:
```
"GL"."GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS21"."CODE_COMBINATION_ID" "CCID",
```
You must use the alias as a partition key, not the name fom the secondary table column.

By dragging the columns in source existing logical table...
Hello
I'm learning just OBIEE 11 g and I use a turorial from oracle, it is
"Creating a repository using the BI of Oracle 11 g Administration tool" for aim practice.
In this tutorial, it's say that do drag the columns of phscial layer of Logica Table Source
MDB layer to avoid creating a second source of logical table... But when I try to drag the columns to
source of existing logic, it is disabling I mean that is not to allow... is there any other technical
IT... or I'm wrong addresses.... The following are briefly in the
Tutorial.

"Drag all six columns of D50 Sales Rep in the physical layer to D5 Sales Rep in the MDB layer." This action
creates logical columns and adds a logical table source D50 Sales Rep to D5 Sales Rep.
The logical table D50 source Sales Rep and rename LTS1 Sales Rep.
In the physical layer, expand D52 Sales Rep Position.
Drag the POSTN_DESC and POSTN_LEVEL D52 Sales Rep posted to LTS1 Sales Rep that you are
by dragging columns from the source to the logical table, not the logical table. Dragging to the logical table would create a
second source of logical table.
Drag the DISTANCE of D51 Sales Rep Parent child at LTS1 Sales Rep. Yet once, you drag the column to the logic
the source of the table, not the logical table. »

help would be appreciated.
Thank you and best regards,
Sri_Oracle.
Hi Sri,

When you drag a physical column on an existing source of the logic table and if it doesn't let you do, then it means that there is no physical join between the existing physical table (which the logical source already points to) and the new physical table (which you drag the column now). Then, please, make sure the joint in place.

I hope this helps.

Thank you
