• the update statement modidy

  Hi all

  I have here is the update statement in my code

  UPDATE equip_stg stg

  SET stg.err = 'WRC '.

  WHERE DOES NOT EXIST (SELECT *)

  FROM (SELECT stg.*

  Of equip_stg stg.

  REASON_SETUP sea

  WHERE stg.equipment_fk = mer.equipment_pk

  AND stg.downtime_reason_code = mer.reason_code

  AND ((stg.status = 3 AND sea. REASON_TYPE = 1)

  OR (stg.status = 2 AND sea. REASON_TYPE = 3)

  OR (stg.status = 1 AND sea. REASON_TYPE = 4))

  ERS stg.downtime_reason_code AND IS NOT NULL)

  WHERE ers.equipment_fk = stg.equipment_fk

  AND ers.downtime_reason_code = stg.downtime_reason_code

  )

  AND stg.status IN (3,2,1)

  AND stg.downtime_reason_code IS NOT NULL;

  The statement above sets updated the column equip_stg in WRC if err for corresponding material and reason, there is no line in the REASON_SETUP table.

  I want to change the code above so that the validation above is first done with REASON_SETUP according to equipment and column of type of reason. Is there is no line for this type of material and the reason in this table, then he must hit lookup table.  Example, I have data from equipment EQP1, status = 3, then it should check if REASON_SETUP has everything save for EQP1 equipment and the reasoning of type 1. If she made the next record should be validated on the table otherwise come file should be validated against the lookup table. For the table of choice also I have same join conditions

  STG.equipment_fk = lookup.equipment_pk

  AND stg.downtime_reason_code = lookup.reason_code

  Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards

  Amrit

  Hello

  I think I see.  All lines for each (equipment, reason_type) will be removed completely on a table or another. reason_setup if possible and looking as if this combination never occurs in reason_type.  Another way to say it is that you want only (equipment, reason_type) groups of the best tablle, where reason_type is better than search.  Exactly what made a Request Top - N .  Here's a way to do it:

  UPDATE equip_stg

  SET err_code = "WRC".

  WHERE (equipment, downtime_reason_code) NOT IN

  (

  WITH union_data AS

  (

  SELECT 'A' preference AS, reason_code, reason_type, equipment

  OF reason_setup

  UNION ALL

  SELECT equipment, reason_type, reason_code, 'B' AS preferences

  SEARCH

  )

  got_r_num AS

  (

  SELECT equipment, reason_type, reason_code

  DENSE_RANK () (PARTITION BY MATERIAL, reason_type

  ORDER OF preference

  ) AS r_num

  Of union_data

  )

  SELECT equipment

  DECODE (reason_type

  1, 3

  3, 2

  )

  reason_code

  OF got_r_num

  WHERE r_num = 1

  )

  ;

  To see how this works, reconstruction of the NOT IN subquery, step by step.  First run just union_data as a stand-alone application.  When you understand what it does, run got_r_num and when you see what he's doing, run the set NOT IN subquery.

• line blocking during the update statement

  
  Hello

  Using Oracle 11 g 2. If I call the following update statement of meeting A, meeting A locks the line until a statement commit / rollback is emanating from the session has. If the session B calls the same statement was updated and the same line, session B will have to wait until the lock is released in the session. However, application developers are expressed in terms of discussions. Would it be possible that the update statement is called in the same session by several requests? If so, the case statement can be evaluated without the line being locked which could lead to erroneous results? Trying to keep this short message.

  tableA has column (number of key, primary) and columnB (number)

  {

  Update tableA

  Define columnB = case when columnB = 3 then

  4

  When columnB = 4 then

  5

  on the other

  columnB

  end

  When columnA = 6;

  }

  2 applications (almost at the same time) in the same session could assess columnB 3. The goal would be the first query sets in column 4 and the second request sets in column 5.

  > However, application developers are expressed in terms of discussions.

  Of course, they are...

  But each application thread will have its own dedicated database session.

• need help with the Update statement

  Hello
  I received a question in a course and I tried my best to respond, and now my brain is giving. I would really appreciate help with the update statement. I don't mind if you do not validate a solution, a little nudge in the right direction would be really useful. I'll post that I got.
  
  THE QUESTION
  / * For these agents disabled on more than seven missions, change their date of deactivation of the first date of deactivation of all the agents that have been activated in the same year as the agent that you update currently.
  */
  
  I have it divided into parts, here is my select statement to agents disabled on more than 7 missions, which produces the deactivation_dates in the agents table that I want to update...

  SELECT
  s.deactivation_date
  FROM
  (
  SELECT
  a.deactivation_date,
  count(m.mission_id) as nomissions
  FROM
  agents a
  INNER JOIN
  missions_agents m
  on
  a.agent_id=m.agent_id
  GROUP BY
  a.deactivation_date
  ) s
  WHERE
  s.nomissions>7 AND s.deactivation_date IS NOT NULL

  .. .and the code for the first date of deactivation for each year of activation agent

  select 
  a2.deactivation_date
  from
  agents a2
  where a2.deactivation_date= 
  (
  select min(a.deactivation_date)
  from 
  agents a
  where to_number(to_char(a.activation_date,'YYYY'))=to_number(to_char(a2.activation_date,'YYYY'))
  )

  ..... I am not real to marry these two statements together in the Update statement. I can't extract each date of deactivation produced in the first select statement and their match against the first date of deactivation in the year they have been activated for the second select statement.
  
  Any help greatly appreciated... :))

  I began to wonder how things would :)

  He recovers as soon as the subquery has not been correctly set in the SET clause. It seems you are trying to update a correlated, but we are still having a conceptual shift. I have added a few comments to your code above and below will explain.

  (1): when you do a correlated update it is useful to the table alias that you did right here.

  (2): this table statement is not necessary and is the reason why the FIRST deactivation date is selected. The alias that you use (3) refers to THIS table, not the one defined in the update statement. Remove the line indicated by (2) in the FROM clause and a correlated update will happen.

  and secondly why is it to update each row, when I thought that I'm just the lines where the agents are disabled and missions > 7? Pointers on where I'm wrong would be very appreciated. (SQL = stupid query language!) :)

  user8695469 wrote: then why is it to update each row, when I thought that I'm just the lines where the agents are disabled and missions > 7? Pointers on where I'm wrong would be very appreciated. (SQL = stupid query language!) :)

  
  WHERE EXISTS
  (
  SELECT
  a.agent_id,
  count(m.mission_id)
  FROM
  agents a
  /* INNER JOIN AC ON AC.AGENT_ID = A.AGENT_ID */
  INNER JOIN
  missions_agents m
  ON
  a.agent_id=m.agent_id
  GROUP BY
  a.agent_id,
  a.deactivation_date
  HAVING
  count(m.mission_id)>7 AND a.deactivation_date IS NOT NULL
  )
  

  Once again this problem is similar to the question above that a correlation update doesn't work. Test existence of lines in an EXISTS subquery. Since your subquery is not related to the table that you are trying to update, it will be always return a line and, therefore, it returns true for EACH LINE in the AGENTS table. To limit the game to only agents > 7 missions results, you need to add a join condition that references the table in your update statement. I added one above (with comments) as a sample.

  I recommend you look over all material that you have associated with correlated subqueries, including documents that I posted above. This seems to be what you're having the problem more with. If you need me to explain the concept of correlated queries any better please let me know.

  Thank you!

• Decode function in the Update statement

  Hi all
  
  I'm writing a query where I can update a pastdue_fees column in a table of book_trans based on a difference between the return_dte and due_dte columns.
  
  I use Oracle SQL. That's what I have so far for my decoding function:
  
  SQL > SELECT
  2 DECODE (SIGN ((return_dte-due_dte) * 2),)
  3 '-1 ', ' 0',
  4 '1', '12', 'Null')
  5 FROM book_trans;
  
  DECO
  ----
  Null value
  12
  Null value
  0
  
  If the logic is that, if the sign is - 1, the value in the return_dte column must be 0; If it is + 1, then it has 12 and everything else is Null.
  
  So now, I have to conclude my function of decoding of the update statement to update the columns. However, I get the error messages.
  
  The logic should be:
  UPDATE book_trans SET PastDue_fees = decode (expression)
  
  I gave him a few different tests with the following results:
  
  SQL > UPDATE book_trans
  2 SET pastdue_fees = SELECT
  3 DECODE (SIGN ((return_dte-due_dte) * 2),)
  4 '-1 ', ' 0',

  If you really really really want to update the entire table, the syntax would be...

  UPDATE book_trans
     SET
        pastdue_fees  = DECODE(SIGN((return_dte - due_dte)*2), -1, 0, 1, 12, Null);
  

  I took out all the single quotes. If you actually have a string column and store all numbers in there so it must be reported as a NUMBER column and not a column of type character (varchar2).

  ALWAYS use the appropriate data type, it will save you a ton of headaches in the future.

  Also, since you are new to the forum, please read the FAQ to learn etiquette and what not.

• Question about the update statement

  Hi all
  
  
  UPDATE table_name
  SET Column1 = value, column2 = value2
  WHERE condition;
  
  I have an update like this statement. What happens when I run the above statement, when there is no column named Column2 in the table? If it creates a column named column2 and value2 using?
  
  Instead should first create a new column named Column2 in the table first and then run this update statement?
  
  Please, someone good to explain.

  Hi, this statement (it is a dml statement) will give an error, because the Column2 does not exist in the table. You must add the Column2 by an alter (ddl statement) statement. Then, you can try to execute your statement.

  Kind regards

• How can I get rid of the top of the case. offers4u and "go around the web" pop-up windows and unwanted when links pop up windows is already turned off on my laptop

  I tried this software ad/malware and tried the launchdaemon corrections responsible extensions suggested and still can't find where they are hiding on my computer.  One of them adds unwanted links with green circular arrows on other Web pages and advertising windows with offers for similar products pop - up on Safari and Chrome.  They are driving me crazy, I even paid for the software adblocking, which serves to block the sites I want to open and still allows popups!

  You may have installed ad-injecting malicious software ("adware").

  Do not use any type of product, "anti-virus" or "anti-malware" on a Mac. It is never necessary for her, and relying on it for protection makes you more vulnerable to attacks, not less.

  Save all data first.

  Some of the most common types of adware can be removed by following the instructions from Apple. But before you follow these instructions, you can try an automatic removal.

  If you are not already running the latest version of Mac OS X ("El Capitan"), update or upgrade in the App Store you could adware to automatically remove. If you are already using the latest version of El Capitan, you can still download the current update of the Apple Support downloads page and run it. Still, some types of malware will be deleted, not all. There is no such thing as the automatic removal of all possible malware, either by OS X third party software. That's why you can't rely on software to protect you.

  If the malware is deleted in your case, you will still need to make changes to the way you use your computer to protect you from new attacks. Ask if you need advice.

  If the malware is not automatically deleted, and you cannot remove yourself by following the instructions from Apple, see below.

  This simple procedure to detect any type of adware that I know. Disabling is a procedure distinct and better still.

  Some legitimate software is funded by advertising and may display advertisements in its own windows or in a web browser while it is running. It's not malware and it may not appear. In addition, some Web sites display advertising intrusive popup that can be confused with adware.

  If none of your web browsers work well enough to carry out these instructions, restart the computer in safe mode. Allows to temporarily disable the malware.

  Step 1

  Please triple - click on the line below on this page to select it, and then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination:

  ~/Library/LaunchAgents

  In the Finder, select

  Go ▹ go to the folder...

  from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + v press return. Open a folder named "LaunchAgents", or you will get a notice stating that the file cannot be found. If the file is not found, proceed to the next step.

  If the folder opens, press the combination of keys command-2 to select the display of the list, if it is not already selected. Please don't skip this step.

  There should be a column in the update Finder window. Click this title two times to sort the content by date with the most recent at the top. If necessary, enlarge the window so that all the content show.

  Follow the instructions in this support article under the heading "take a screenshot of a window." An image file with a name starting in 'Screenshot' should be saved to the desktop. Open the capture screen and make sure it is readable. If this isn't the case, capture a small part of the screen indicating that what needs to be shown.

  Start a reply to this message. Drag the image file in the editing window downloading. Alternatively, you can include text in the response.

  Leave the case open for now.

  Step 2

  Do as in step 1 with this line:

  /Library/LaunchAgents

  The record which can open up will have the same name but is not the same as in step 1. In this step, the folder does not exist.

  Step 3

  Repeat with this line:

  /Library/LaunchDaemons

  This time the file will be called "LaunchDaemons."

  Step 4

  Open Safari preferences window and select the tab 'Extensions'. If the extensions are listed, post a screenshot. If there are no extensions, or if you cannot launch Safari, skip this step.

  Step 5

  If you use Firefox or Chrome browser, open the list of extensions and do as in step 4.

These data include data personal, settings, information about the hardware and software drivers. In case of a worst case scenario, you may have to reinstall all the programs. Make sure that you back up personal data to disks or other external storage devices before performing an upgrade on the spot.
