  The code above prompts the user to enter a value for the tablename_var variable, once the user enters 'double' prompt... The date system is administered by output.

  This code fails and an error. I understand. Engine the interpreter as... trying to perform a select operation on a variable and told of a table or view is expected.
  Can someone please tell me what to do, to do a select on a table whose name is contained in a variable, as above?

  Hello

  Welcome to the forum!

  You need to dynamic SQL Instructions if the table or column names are variable.

  Get the current date is not a good example; you could get that without a query simply by saying:

  date_var := SYSDATE;
  

  In addition, SELECT... IN will raise an error if the query will return exactly 1 row.
  In the example below, let's get the last entry_date of a given table:
  For example:

  declare
       tablename_var     varchar(10);
       date_var      date;
       sql_txt           VARCHAR2 (1000);
  begin
       tablename_var := 'table_x;
  
       sql_txt := 'select  MAX (entrydate)'
            || '  from  ' || tablename_var;
       dbms_output.put_line (sql_txt || ' = sql_txt');    -- Not essential, but recommended
       EXECUTE IMMEDIATE  sql_txt  INTO date_var;
  
       dbms_output.put_line ('The latest entry_date is ' || date_var);
  end;
  

  Dynamic SQL is to create a string that contains the SQL statement. Output string is purely optional, of course, but it is a very good idea when writing and code off listening. Don't forget to comment or remove the display before moving the code into Production.

  For a year, make the column name of the variable, instead of the hard-coded entry_date.

• How to update the table by using the value of a column in a table field

  Hi all
  use APEX4.1,
  I have a tabular presentation based on the HOLIDAY table, it contains the following fields,

  Leave_id
  Employee_name
  No_of_days
  Status

  Here's the column LOV updateable status.
  Lov includes 2 values IE APPROVE and REJECT
  
  and I have another Table called LEAVE_HISTORY, it contains the following fields.

  Emp_name
  status

  Here whenever the ststus is updated (click the button SUBMIT) in tabular form should also be updated in the LEAVE_HISTORY of the SITUATION of the table column.
  
  I tried the following in the process of "WE SUBMIT AFTER CALCULATIONS AND VALIDATIONS,"

  begin
  update LEAVE_HISTORY set status= status where upper(employee_name)=upper(emp_name);
  end;

  but it is not kept up-to-date,
  When we updated through forms we can use something like this,

  update LEAVE_HISTORY set status= :P200_status where upper(employee_name)=upper(:P_200_emp_name);  <----here we are referring page item i.e (:P_200_emp_name)

  as the code above, how to run the columns in a table?
  Thank you.

  Hi Gurujothi,

  Try this,

  begin
  update LEAVE_HISTORY
  set status= :STATUS
  where upper(Emp_name)=upper(:EMPLOYEE_NAME);
  end;

  Now, I wanted to update the table such that all ID columns are updated with running number.
  
  Each ID columns should get incremented so that, for Country_ID column corresponding to "India" If country_id is 1, that there must be one for all the lines with the name as "India". Likewise for "Australia".
  
  In the case of State, she also has the same logic with numbers repeated until the very name of the State comes.
  
  For the city, it of course will hold separate ID only because the name of the city will not get duplicated.
  
  This update must be done in the normal way using simple SQL such as no PLSQL don't like looping, etc... is involved.
  
  Here are the contents of the table, and that's how the table should be updated,
  

  COUNTRY_ID     COUNTRY_CODE     COUNTRY_NAME     STATE_ID     STATE_CODE     STATE_NAME     CITY_ID     CITY_CODE     CITY_NAME

• How to create a table with editable column values.

  Hello world
  I think it's very simple, but I am unable to find how to do this. This is my requirement. I need to create a table with n columns and 1 line initially. the user must be able to enter data into this table and click of a button must insert the data into the database table. Also, there should be a button at the bottom of the table to add 1 line to the table.
  
  I know how to do the insertion of data, but can someone please let me know how to create a table which allows the user to enter data and how to create a line button Add 1?
  
  
  Thanks in advance!

  Raghu,

  Go through the tutorial of Toolbox Page & Advanced section of the Guide of the OFA table.

  Step 1 - you need to create EO & VO from this EO. This EO will be table of database where you want to insert the data.

  Step 2 - create an advanced table region. (See this section in table advanced for more details)

  Step 3 - attach this VO in the BC4J region advanced Table component.

  Kind regards

• How to update a table and insert into another

  I need to update a table and also to insert into another table and want to do it in the same form. I can it will break in 2 different forms, but it is awkward for the user. Is there a way common to this address? As a backdrop, the user is updated the status of a message (IE, changing it from open to closed) and then provide an answer. The response table is separate from the table of messages because its format is doing different.

  You can do what you want in your form processing script. But for
  much more advanced than you must write your own code.

  > As a backdrop.

  Just curious: what is the difference? IMHO, there should be only one table
  for messages. Can you post more details about it?

• Collections of SQL / objects - how to store a table within a column?

  Hi guys,.
  
  I have a current table on production... I'm only allow you to add a column to her...
  
  The simplified scenario is...
  
  I have a table
  
  CREATE TABLE PLAN_TRANSACTION
  (THE ARGUMENT PLAN_ID VARCHAR2 (20) DEFAULT SYS_GUID();)
  PLAN_NUMBERS_TYPE COLUMN? );
  
  For the PLAN_NUMBERS column, I want to store all types and numbers associated with the PLAN_ID.
  
  
  In general, it would be
  
  CREATE TABLE TYPES_AND_NUMBERS
  (TYPE VARCHAR2 (20),)
  NUMBER OF NUMBERS);
  ---------------------------------
  Type A, 12345
  Type B, 12345
  Type A, 54211
  
  etc.
  
  Now instead of add another additional column PLAN_ID TYPES_AND_NUMBERS table and create a relationship of foreign key with PLAN_TRANSACTION.
  I want to keep the table inside the table PLAN_TRANSACTION column.
  
  
  I think doing this
  
  
  CREATE TYPE TYPES_AND_NUMBERS AS OBJECT
  (TYPE VARCHAR2 (20),)
  NUMBER NUMBERS);
  
  CREATE TABLE AS TN_TAB TYPE OF TYPES_AND_NUMBERS;
  
  
  CREATE TABLE PLAN_TRANSACTION
  (THE ARGUMENT PLAN_ID VARCHAR2 (20),)
  PLAN_NUMBERS TN_TAB
  )
  THE NESTED TABLE PLAN_NUMBERS
  STORE AS NESTED_PLAN_NUMBERS;
  
  
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  My question is...
  
  Q1) is my way of creating a correct nested table?... creating an object type, then an array of objects, then storing this table within a column in a nested table...
  
  Q2) is otherwise easier to create a nested table as I quite new in object_relational--concepts simply, I felt quite concerned create an object to simulate a line. and create an array of object to store objects, and then put it inside a column.
  
  Q3) possible for me, or is it something like create type TN_TAB as table of (varchar2 TYPE, numbers);
  
  
  Thanks a lot guys!
  
  Best regards
  Noob

  A nested table is the easiest way to resolve this condition.
  Other solutions might involve some large objects (CLOB or XMLTYPES), but without knowing anything commercially, I think a nested table is the best way.

  You can use EXECUTE IMMEDIATE to call pl/sql dynamic. But you need to wrap it in a db procedure.

  BTW... What is the reason of this dynamic approach, as it is very unusual?

  1 the interface:

  "Put a filter in your 1 on attr.name = array ' PRODUCT_CODE.

  In the map target TABLE2
  SERVICE_ID = TABLE1. SERVICE_ID
  PRODUCT_CODE = TABLE1. ATTR_VALUE

  Use SQL IKM append control

  Interface 2:

  "Put a filter in your 1 on attr.name = array ' PROVIDER '.

  In the map target TABLE2
  SERVICE_ID = TABLE1. SERVICE_ID
  PROVIDER = TABLE1. ATTR_VALUE

  Do SERVICE_ID as KEY (when you click the column target in properties, you can see KEY under properties of the target column) and use the incremental update of the IKM Oracle.

  PS: I assume that Oracle as the source and target.

  And you can refer to the documentation,

• How to create the Table using the column Drag and Drop feature

  Hello:
  I'm new to Data Modeler tool Oracle SQL dev and would like to know if there is a way to create a new table by reusing existing columns or groups of columns. The idea is to maintain consistency and save time of table design. If the columns created previously can be reused and require, drag and drop column in the right pane, then only new columns must be created manually.
  
  Any thoughts on this will be appreciated.
  
  Thank you!

  Yes - just change the name of the model table in the script (t_name = "table_template") then save this new transformation for later use.

  I don't know how to apply only some of the tables. Seems like something you could do to a secondary view level?

  Perhaps someone else on the forum can advise how to change the script to work on a subview only instead of the whole model.
