Documentation about adding column with the DEFAULT value.

Hello

http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/statements_3001.htm#i2198241

< quote >
If you add a column, then the initial value of each row in the new column is NULL unless you specify the DEFAULT clause. In this case, Oracle database updates each row in the new column with the value specified for the DEFAULT value. This update operation, in turn, triggers AFTER UPDATE triggers defined on the table.
< quote >

I am not able to understand the emphasis on the part AFTER UPDATE while the column with DEFAULT values addition triggers both BEFORE and AFTER triggers defined on UPDATE.

According to the documents of 11 g

http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_3001.htm#i2133105

n.m. (u) r only changes with the NON NULL columns, but focus on AFTER UPDATE is still there. No trigger defined on the fire of the update in this case.

This insistence is intended? If not, IMO, it should be changed.

Kind regards

Hi Sissi. After further discussion, we have added some information about a change in behavior. Here is what says the next version of the doc:

When you add a column, the initial value of each row in the new column is null.

* If you specify the DEFAULT clause for a column NOT NULL, then the default value is stored as metadata, but the column itself is not populated with data. However, the following queries that specify the new column are rewritten so that the default value is returned in the result set.

This optimized behavior differs from earlier versions, when as part of operation ALTER TABLE Oracle database updated every line in the newly created with the default column and then fired defined update triggers on the table. In this release, no trigger is triggered because the default value is stored only in the form of metadata.

* If you specify the DEFAULT for a nullable column clause, then the default value is added to existing lines under this ALTER TABLE statement, and any update triggers defined on the table are activated. This behavior also means if you change a NOT NULL column with a default value to be nullable.

Hope that helps to clarify the matter further.

Kind regards
Diana

  • Pump diagram remapping of data with the default value of sequence (12 c feature)

    Hello

    in the 12 c Oracle database there is a new feature that allows you to set default values directly from a sequence:

    http://docs.Oracle.com/database/121/NEWFT/chapter12101.htm#NEWFT155

    This helps us to save the use of triggers to get the next value of an ID column for example the DDL of such a table might look something like this:

    CREATE TABLE "FOO"."MY_TABLE" ("ID" NUMBER(10,0) DEFAULT "FOO"."MY_TABLE_ID"."NEXTVAL", ...   );

    During the pattern FOO with Data Pump export and import the schema with the remap_schema option in the BAR diagram for example, mapping works fine for all the tables, triggers, etc. except those defaults (as Oracle always writes the schema information in these default values).

    The error in the output log that says 'FOO. MY_TABLE_ID"sequence is unknown, because the sequence is now called 'BAR. MY_TABLE_ID' - mapping so does not work for default values.

    Someone knows how to fix this?

    Thanks in advance

    Concerning

    Hello

    Read this note, I think that it is an expected behavior:

    http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/server.112/e22490/dp_import.htm#SUTIL927

    REMAP_SCHEMA

    .

    Restrictions

    * The mapping cannot be 100 percent complete because there are some references to diagrams that importing is not able to find. For example, import will not find of references to patterns incorporated into the body of the definitions of triggers, types, views, procedures and packages.  -I think in your case it is the default value.

    * If any table in the schema are remapped contains object types defined by the user and this table changes between the time wherever it is exported and the time you are trying to import, and then import this table will fail. However, the import operation will continue.

    No, can't do this in the signature. You will need to manage this by validating the parameters passed at the beginning of the function.

    It is quite simple. In your case, you might as well test for NULL and fail to function like this:

        FUNCTION date_post_message(
                user_lock_in IN NUMBER,
                form_type_in IN NUMBER DEFAULT 0 ,
                date_in      IN DATE)
            RETURN BOOLEAN
        IS
            v_num NUMBER(1);
        BEGIN
            dbms_output.put_line('Value of parameters : user_lock_in : '||user_lock_in || ' : form_type_in : '||form_type_in||' : date_in : '||date_in );
            IF user_lock_in = 1 THEN
                RETURN FALSE;
            END IF;
            IF form_type_in IS NULL THEN
                RETURN FALSE;
            ELSIF form_type_in NOT IN (1,2) THEN
                RETURN FALSE;
            END IF;
            RETURN TRUE;
        EXCEPTION
        WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
            RETURN FALSE;
        END;
    

    In other cases of use I would issue a local variable and treat it like this:

            IF form_type_in IS NULL THEN
                l_form_type := 0;
            ELSE
                 l_form_type := form_type_in;
            END IF;
    

    Of course, the code should use the local variable rather than the parameter.

    It is a good practice to validate values passed in parameters at the beginning of a function. If you really want to go to the city, discover the Design By Contract.

  • Column with the default (to_date()) - failure on SQL Developer

    Hello

    I will you run the following statement:

    ALTER TABLE PERIOD
    ADD
    (
    PP_START_DATE DATE default to_date ('19000101', 'YYYYMMDD') NOT NULL,
    PP_END_DATE DATE default to_date ('19000101', 'YYYYMMDD') NOT NULL
    );

    This works very well and as planned. Existing entries in the table will win by default - that day.

    Now, when I open SQL Developer and go on the columns tab and then click on the small button edit below that an editor window opens showing me all the columns and their specifications.
    Here, I am able to modify change data. I notice that, in the columns of default_value for my two new columns, the value is ' to_date ('19000101', 'YYYYMMDD').

    Well I wonder about this but can SQL Developer, due to the use of a function, knows not what is calculated it and it can depends on somtething like Sysdate so that the SQL Developer must keep this dynamic statement.
    -> Ok so far.
    But when I (no matter if I change something or not) not to click OK, I get an error as follows:

    =========================================================
    Column validation failure
    ---------------------------------------------------------
    Invalid expression ' to_date ('19000101', 'YYYYMMDD').
    DATE or TIMESTAMP expression expected.
    =========================================================

    The question I have is: why is a failure and can do I do something wrong?
    I can still edit the table using SQL, so this isn't the problem. But I wonder if it's an allusion to a bigger mistake.
    If possible: is there a way to get SQL Developer working with it without losing the default dynamic value?

    Thanks for the replies.

    Hello

    I encountered this problem when I expand a controller for the page create a work request (/ oracle/apps/eam/workrequest/webui/EAM_WR_WORK_REQUEST_DETAIL_PL). My goal is to re - fill OAMessageTextInputBean 'Additional Description' after the user clicks "Save" or "apply".

         String description = pgCtx.getParameter("EamWrRqlog");

                   log("Goosfraba, added!", pgCtx);

    A solution would be: -.

    1. create a transitional VO with an attribute, LongDescription.

    2 associate this attribute with the EamWrRqlog field.

    3. in the processFormRequest, set the TransientVO attribute value

    for example

    XMLTable (XMLNamespaces (default ' xmlns.example.org', 'another_ns' as "ns0"),...)

    In your example, the default namespace is the same as that associated with the ns0 prefix, so simply precede the SampleRequest element:

    Go ahead and skip this step then. I never did, but my colleague has mentioned that you can disable the RPD to be cached at all, so if you are in online mode and you still cannot manage the cache, assume that this feature is disabled.

    In addition, as I said above, I don't think it is a caching problem, it was just more precautionary, so I don't think it will be a big problem.

    Please let me know how the rest goes!

    How to enter two rows at the same time with different default values that only the first line to use see?

    Suppose I have a table with four fields as below

    "DEBIT" VARCHAR2(7) , 
      "DRNAME" VARCHAR2(50),
      "CREDIT" VARCHAR2(7) , 
      "CRNAME" VARCHAR2(50),
    

    Now I want that when I click on a button (create an insert) to create the first line with the default values below

    firstrow.png

    So if I click on the button and then validate the second row with different values is also inserted on commit.

    The value of the second row are like the picture below

    tworows.png

    But the second row should be invisible. It could be achieved by adding vc in the vo.

    The difficult part in my question is therefore, to add the second row with the new default values.

    Because I already added default values in the first row.

    Now how to add second time default values.

    Second line code is inside a bean method

        public void addNewPurchaseVoucher(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
            // Add event code here...
    
            BindingContainer bindings = BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
                   DCIteratorBinding dciter = (DCIteratorBinding) bindings.get("VoucherView1Iterator");
                   RowSetIterator rsi = dciter.getRowSetIterator();
                   Row lastRow = rsi.last();
                   int lastRowIndex = rsi.getRangeIndexOf(lastRow);
                   Row newRow = rsi.createRow();
                   newRow.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_NEW);
                   rsi.insertRowAtRangeIndex(lastRowIndex +1, newRow);
                   rsi.setCurrentRow(newRow);
    
                   BindingContainer bindings1 = BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
                   DCIteratorBinding dciter1 = (DCIteratorBinding) bindings1.get("VdetView1Iterator");
                   RowSetIterator rsi1 = dciter1.getRowSetIterator();
                   Row lastRow1 = rsi1.last();
                   int lastRowIndex1 = rsi1.getRangeIndexOf(lastRow1);
                   Row newRow1 = rsi1.createRow();
                   newRow1.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_NEW);
                   rsi1.insertRowAtRangeIndex(lastRowIndex1 +1, newRow1);
                   rsi1.setCurrentRow(newRow1);
        }
    

    And final saveUpdate method is

        public void saveUpdateButton(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
            // Add event code here...
    
            BindingContainer bindingsBC = BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();      
    
                   OperationBinding commit = bindingsBC.getOperationBinding("Commit");
                   commit.execute(); 
    
            OperationBinding operationBinding = BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry().getOperationBinding("Commit");
            operationBinding.execute();
            DCIteratorBinding iter = (DCIteratorBinding) BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry().get("VdetView1Iterator");// write iterator name from pageDef.
            iter.getViewObject().executeQuery();  
    
        }
