• Update the values in the Table from another Table containing historical data

  So, I have two tables, a table and a master table.  The current table is updated each week and at the end of the week, is copied to the main table to keep historical data.  I have update the table in progress early in the week and want to take the latest data from the master table and update the current table with the data.  The current table could have additional IDs or some of the IDS could have deposited (these lines would receive data in the main table).  I want to only update the rows in the current table that have existing data to the attr1, attr2, attr3 columns.  A particular ID may have more than one record in the primary table, I want only the last disk to use for updating the current table.  The data from a different database where no direct connection is possible then I have to import data every week.  Here are some statements of create/insert:

  create table current_T (ID1 varchar(100),adate date,attr1 varchar(100),attr2 varchar(100),attr3 varchar(100))
  

  create table Master_T (ID1 varchar(100),adate date,attr1 varchar(100),attr2 varchar(100),attr3 varchar(100))
  
  

  begin
  insert into current_T (ID1,adate)
  values ('IE111','08/02/13');
  insert into current_T (ID1,adate)
  values ('IE112','08/02/13');
  insert into current_T (ID1,adate)
  values ('IE113','08/02/13');
  
  insert into master_T (ID1,adate,attr1,attr2,attr3)
  values ('IE111','08/01/13','yes','abc','123');
  insert into master_T (ID1,adate,attr1,attr2,attr3)
  values ('IE112','08/01/13','no','dgf','951');
  insert into master_T (ID1,adate,attr1,attr2,attr3)

  insert into master_T (ID1,adate,attr1,attr2,attr3)
  values ('IE113','07/01/13','no','dgf','951');
  end;

• Update with select table from another table

  Hallo,
  
  I'd like to update table b with a mapping a table codes.
  
  one has:
  
  town_id, town_code, town_name
  
  b town_code, town_id, town_population, town_zip_code...
  
  Table a has all the details - town_id, town_code and town_name and acts as the mapping between town_id and town_code
  
  In table b, town_code is null. I want to update the column b.town_code with town_code table where a.town_id = b.town_id.
  
  How the update query will look like?
  
  I tried
  UPDATE B SET town_code = (SELECT A.town_code FROM A, B WHERE A.town_id = B.town_id)
  
  and I get the error "einreihig subquery returns several lines.
  
  You will appreciate your assistance

  OK, now I see where you went wrong.

  It's your query:

  UPDATE TOWN_INFO
  SET TOWN_CODE=(SELECT B.TOWN_CODE FROM TOWN_MAPP B, TOWN_INFO C
  WHERE B.TOWN_ID=B.TOWN_ID)
  /
  

  You have added an additional TOWN_INFO table reference in your subquery. You really wanted to refer to the TOWN_INFO in your UPDATE statement for that to be a CORRELATED subquery. Delete this reference as I did below.

  Here's the correct query:

  UPDATE  TOWN_INFO TI
  SET     TOWN_CODE = (
                          SELECT  TOWN_CODE
                          FROM    TOWN_MAPP TM
                          WHERE   TI.TOWN_ID = TM.TOWN_ID

• How to create the table in another schema of database even

  Hello..
  
  I have a database DB1
  and 2 patterns / users in this...
  Usr1 and Usr2...
  
  I created a TEMP Usr1 schema table... and created
  
  Then tried the following declaration in the schema Usr2...
  
  CREATE TABLE TEMP AS SELECT * FROM Usr1.TEMP;
  
  Then it is in error that...
  : 00942 TABLE OR VIEW DOES NOT EXIST...
  
  What is the reason for this...
  
  Thank you

  You must make this grant on any new table, you create in usr1 and you want to use in the usr2 schema.

  Its not desirable, but you can give system privileges

  grant select to usr2.

  USR2 can select on any table.

• Calling stored procedures with parameters with the database connectivity Toolkit

  Hi all

  I'm new to the forum and struggling to find a solution to a particular problem I have in this respect, using the LabVIEW Database Connectivity Toolkit on a project, I am currently working on my work.  I have a database in which I tables and stored procedures with parameters.  Some of these stored procedures have input, output and return parameters.

  I tried to follow this example, but to no avail: http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/07FD130746083E0686257300006326C4?OpenDocument

  Such a stored procedure I am working on the implementation is named "dbo.getAllowablePNs", running "SELECT * from DeviceType" (DeviceType is the table).  In this case, it requires no input parameter, it has an output parameter that generates the table [cluster] and has a return parameter that returns an integer value (status code for execution) to show if an error occurred.  The DeviceType table has 3 columns; ID (PK, int not null), PN (nvarchar ((15), null) and NumMACAddresses (int, null).)  I have surpassed many examples and I talk to the support OR try to implement this and similar procedures stored in LabVIEW but have not been successful.  I am able to connect to the database with the VI of open connection without error, but spin in some confusion as a result of this step.  I then try to use the VI of parameter query create to call the stored procedure and set the parameters.  I guess I would then use the Set parameter value for each parameter that is connected to the entry of parameters on the previous query with parameters VI VI?  I am also having some confusion during and after these steps as well.  I would greatly appreciate advice or suggestions that anyone could have in this situation because I am not a SQL expert.  Also, I would be happy to provide more information that might be useful.

  Kind regards

  Jon

  Here's what I use to do this.  I think I had to change him create parameterized query VI for him to work.  There is a post on the forum about this somewhere.

  I use to go to Oracle PL/SQL client.

  Let's say your table than extractorders is the schema of database clientsproperty.

  As this pattern create a stored procedure that runs with the privileges of the customerschema. Having this procedure return a ref cursor For example

  create or replace procedure ReadExtractOrders( c in out sys_refcursor ) authid definer is
  begin
    open c for select * from extractorders;
  end;
  

  As this code executes with the privileges of the customer schema it can read the table belonged to this scheme.

  Now give execute rights on this process for the Joe database schema - and this pattern can create a cursor on the table of ExtractOrders , without being able to access or use directly or refer to this table. Read access to this table is therefore protected by a reliable code belonged schema customers.

  Learn about the AUTHID clause and how it can be used to differentiate the code approved and non-approved, which allows to PL/SQL code to run with different privileges than the demand for prescriptions.

  Detaching Frank, however, and echoing my previous comment, let them down and to re-create the tables makes no sense. It is logical to truncate a table if you test a load. If you build a data warehouse, it makes sense to delete and re-create a partition if you rerun a load for a particular date and that you have daily partitions. Deletion and recreation of a table in a stored procedure is not a reasonable way to test a system (nor is there a reasonable way to approach change control issues that will inevitably produce when you need to change the structure of a table).

• How to design the table from the answer to the question table.

  Hi all
  
  I am creating an application for student review online.
  
  There are two types of questions, the only choice of response and multi choice answers.
  
  My question is less than

  create table question_master
  (
  exam_id number references exam_master(exam_id),
  marks_of_each_question number,
  type_of_question char(1),-- single choice answer/multiple choices answer
  q1 varchar2(2000),
  q2 varchar2(2000),
  q3 varchar2(2000),
  q4 varchar2(2000))

  my table to answer (I'm not satisfied with who is below

  create table answers_of_questions
  (
  answer_id number primary key,
  question_ID number referenes question_master(question_id),
  answer varchar2(4000) not null,
  is_answer_correct char(1),--y/n,
  student_selection char(1),--y/n   student select it or not
  ....
  ...

  now, I'm perfectly how to create the RESPONSE table to contain the answers.
  the only choice is good, but several checkboxes choices, what to do?
  How to design the table from the answer?
  
  do I have to create 2 tables to contain the answers?
  Note: the QUESTIONS and ANSWERS, all will be entered by the teacher. students will make a choice and I will store this choice in another table
  may be called STUDENT_SELECTED_ANSWERS or something like that.
  If anyone has some reference to the script retail scheme review online, kindly share with me.
  
  Kind regards.
  
  Kind regards.

  If you need to have answers in another table:

  Student (student_id, name, etc...)
  Review (exam_id, exam_name, etc...)
  Question (question_id, exam_id, question_text)

  Response (question_id, a_text, b_text, c_text, d_text, a, b, c, d).<-- one-to-one="" with="" question="" table,="" a-d="" flags="" used="" to="" indicate="">
  OR
  Response (question_id, answer_id, answer_text, OK)<-- many-to-one="" with="" question="" table,="" correct="" flag="" used="" to="" indicate="" correctness="" for="" this="" single="">

  Student_Answer (student_id, question_id, a, b, c and d)
  OR
  Student_Answer (question_id, student_id, answer_id)<-- creation="" of="" a="" question_id+answer_id="" in="" this="" table="" implies="" the="" student="" checked/selected="" it="" as="" an="">

  To what extent you want to standardize, it is up to you.
