• Insert into table1 from table1

  Hello
  
  I tried to insert into table - from select col1, col2, col3 from table b where
  Table - b.change_dt between 't1d' and 'T2D.
  
  can someone help me with the query
  
  Thank you

  insert into table-A from select col1,col2,col3 from table-b where
  table-b.change_dt between 'dt1' and 'dt2'
  

  you have an additional 'from', so it will be:

  insert into table-A(col1,col2,col3) (select col1, col2, col3 from table b where)
  Table - b.change_dt between 't1d' and "T2D")

  Hallo,

  Try this

  insert into m_payment_option (p_type,m_fulfillment)
  select 'DIRECT_DEBIT', id from M_FULFILLMENT  where id not in (select m_fulfillment from M_PAYMENT_OPTION));
  

  The subquery in your statement offers several lines and failed to insert 2 or more values in your m_fulfillment column at a time.

  But I think you want to insert several lines. Otherwise, you need to change your subquery to offer that one value, maybe a max or min function will help.

• Function of package of call per line in the statement INSERT INTO SELECT

  Hello

  I wrote the following SQL insert.

  INSERT the Table_A (Col_A, Col_B, Col_C)

  SELECT Col_A, Col_B, (SELECT PACKAGE1. DOUBLE FUNC())

  FROM Table_A

  WHERE Col_A = "AAA".

  PACKAGE1. Func() is a function to create numbers using the sequence.

  The result is

  Col_a Col_B, Col_C

  ---------------------------------------

  C003 AAA B1

  C003 AAA B2
  C003 AAA B3

  What I want is as follows:

  Col_a Col_B, Col_C

  ---------------------------------------

  C003 AAA B1

  AAA B2 C004
  AAA B3 C005

  I want different values per line in Col_C. is it possible to do this?

  I think the fact that you put the function call in a subquery is why he executed only once (which is a useful thing to know if you want this feature). To get executed for each line, you only need to do this:

  INSERT the Table_A (Col_A, Col_B, Col_C)

  SELECT Col_A, Col_B, PACKAGE1. FUNC()

  FROM Table_A

  WHERE Col_A = "AAA".

  However, as others have said, there is no reason to wrap a sequence.nextval in a function.

• Insert into MDQ_OLD select * from table (lt_monitorMdq);

  I'm trying to insert into a table that has only a single column, which is a column of a user defined type (UDT). The UDT is nested, that is one of the attributes of the UDT is an another UDT.

  I aim to insert into the table like this pseudo-code:

  INSERT INTO T1 SELECT * FROM THE UDT;

  CREATE TABLE MDQ_OLD (myMDQ UDT_T_MONITOR_MDQ)

  NESTED TABLE myMDQ

  (T1_NEW) ACE STORE

  THE NESTED TABLE MONITOR_MDQ_PRIM_RIGHTS

  STORE AS T2_NEW);

  The MONITOR_MDQ_CLI procedure. Read below returns the parameter lt_monitorMdq which is a UDT type as announced. The statement "insert into select MDQ_OLD * table (lt_monitorMdq);" fails, while the second insert statement works.

  Is it possible to get the first statement of work?

  I'm on Oracle 11 g 2.

  DECLARE

  lt_monitorMdq UDT_T_MONITOR_MDQ;

  BEGIN

  MONITOR_MDQ_CLI. Reading (TRUNC (SYSDATE),

  TRUNC (SYSDATE),

  NULL,

  NULL,

  "MILLION BTU.

  lt_monitorMdq); -Note lt_monitorMdq is an OUT parameter

  -This insert does not work

  Insert into MDQ_OLD select * from table (lt_monitorMdq);

  BECAUSE me in 1... lt_monitorMdq.count

  LOOP

  Dbms_output.put_line ('lt_monitorMdq: ' | .mdq_id lt_monitorMdq (i));

  -This integration works

  INSERT INTO MDQ_OLD (MYMDQ)

  VALUES (UDT_T_MONITOR_MDQ (UDT_R_MONITOR_MDQ)

  lt_monitorMdq (i) .gasday,

  1,

  NULL,

  NULL,

  NULL,

  NULL,

  (NULL)));

  END LOOP;

  END;

  have you tried:

  INSERT INTO MDQ_OLD (myMDQ) VALUES (lt_MonditorMDq);

  curiosity:

  Is there a particular reason, why you have created a table with a single column of type UDT instead of:

  CREATE TABLE... OF UDT_T_MONITOR_MDQ;

  I can tell you from experience that using a nested table, you can easily query the data in the nested table.

• Support for mandatory request - insert, select from the same table

  Hi all
  
  I need your help to write queries effectively.
  Oracle Version: 10.2.0.3.0
  OPERATING SYSTEM: UNIX
  
  I have a METRICS_TBL that is mentioned below table.
  
  CYCLE_DATE METRIC VALUE
  08/17/2008 COST-TV 100
  08/17/2008 COST-JOURNAL 50
  08/17/2008 COST-POSTALMAIL 25
  08/17/2008-PROD-TV 10
  08/17/2008-PROD-JOURNAL 25
  08/17/2008-PROD-POSTALMAIL 5
  
  Any data above, I have to add (Insert into select METRICS_TBL METRICS_TBL) at the same table with the records as mentioned below.
  
  2008-08-17 COSTPERPROD-TV 10
  08/17/2008-COSTPERPROD-LOG 2
  2008-08-17 COST PROD-POSTALMAIL 5
  
  Basically, I need to calculate the cost per product for each category. Depending on the settings available, metric should also be changed as COSTPERPROD and values should be cost/prod under each category.
  
  Can someone help me with the query.
  
  Thank you

  Something like this:

  INSERT INTO metrics_tbl
  (cycle_date, metrics, value)
  SELECT cost.cycle_date
           , 'COSTPERPROD-'||cost.mtype
           ,cost.value / prod.value
  FROM  (
     select cycle_date,substr(metrics, 1, 4) mtype, substrmetrics,instr(metrics,'-')+1) mmetric
     where substr(metrics, 1, 4) = 'PROD'
     ) prod
  INNER JOIN (   select cycle_date,substr(metrics, 1, 4) mtype, substrmetrics,instr(metrics,'-')+1) mmetric
     where substr(metrics, 1, 4) = 'COST'
     ) cost on cost.cycle_date = prod.cycle_date and cost.mmetric = prod.mmetric
  

  Ideally you would divide your METRICS column into two: one for the thing you're measuring (e.g. TV or NEWSPAPER) and the other for the metric (COST, PROD, COSTPERPROD etc.). That's what I did in the views online. Without it, it's kinda a mess and behave so, if the table becomes much more.

• Exception No_data_found to insert into... select statement

  Hai,
  I have a doubt in plsql exceptions. In the sub program mentioned plsql.
  
  Start
  
  insert into select abc * xyz a, b of cdf where a.c1 = b.c2;
  
  exception
  When no_data_found then
  do some operations
  
  end;
  
  In the pl/sql block above, if the select statement returns no rows, whether or not the exception is triggered? If not, how do the same. Any available alternative.
  
  Thanks in advance.
  
  Concerning
  Sridhar

  You would get an error no_data_found triggered at that time there, because it's perfectly valid to insert rows 0.

  You will need to check SQL ROWCOUNT % and raise the no_data_found if it is equal to 0.

  Hello

  Remember the ABC's of the GROUP BY:

  When you use a GROUP BY clause or in an aggregate function, then all in the SELECT clause must be:

  (A) a ggregate function,

  (B) one of the expressions "group By."

  (C) adding to C, or

  (D) something that Depends on the foregoing.  (For example, if you "GROUP BY TRUNC (dt)", you can SELECT "TO_CHAR (TRUNC (dt), 'Mon - DD')").

  To ask him, there are 5 columns in the SELECT clause.  The last one is a function MAX (...); It is an aggregate, is not serious.

  The first 2 columns are also named in the GROUP BY clause, so that they are well.

  The other 2 columns, country and internal_Id do not match any of the above categories.  These 2 columns cause the error.

  There are many ways to avoid this error, each producing different results.  You could

  • remove these 2 columns in the SELECT clause
  • Add these 2 columns in the GROUP BY clause
  • use the aggregation such as MIN, 2-column functions
  • remove the country from the SELECT clause and add internal_id to the GROUP BY clause
  • remove the internal_id from the SELECT clause, and add countries to the GROUP BY clause
  • ...

  What are the results you want?

  Whenever you have a question, please post a small example of data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) for all the tables involved, so people who want to help you can recreate the problem and test their ideas.  Also post the results you want from this data, as well as an explanation of how you get these results from these data.

  I have three databases oracle running in three different machines. their ip address is different. among the DB can access databases. (means am able to select values and insert values into tables individually.)
  
  I need to extract data from the DB1 table (ip say DB1 is 10.10.10.10 and the user is DB1user and the table is DB1user_table) and insert the values into DB2 table (say ip DB2 is 11.11.11.11 and the user is DB2user and table DB2user_table) of DB3 that is to have access to the two IPs DB.
  
  How do I do this
  
  Edited by: Aemunathan on February 10, 2010 23:12

  Depending on the amount of data must be moved between DB1 and DB2, and the frequency at which this should happen, you might consider the SQL * COPY more control. I think it's very useful for one-off tasks little, so I can live within its limits of the data type. More http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e10823/apb.htm#i641251.

  Change some parameter of sqlplus session are almost mandatory in order to get decent transfer rates. Tuning ARRAYSIZE and COPYCOMMIT can make a huge difference in flow. LONG change may be necessary, too, depending on your data. The documentation offers these notes on use:

  To activate the copy of data between Oracle and databases non-Oracle, NUMBER of columns is replaced by DECIMAL columns in the destination table. Therefore, if you are copying between Oracle databases, a NUMBER column with no precision will become a DECIMAL column (38). When copying between Oracle databases, you must use SQL commands (CREATE TABLE AS and INSERTION), or you must make sure that your columns have a specified precision.

  SQL * the VALUE LONGER variable limits the length of the LONG column you are copying. If all LONG columns contain data exceeds the value of LONG, COPY truncates the data.

  SQL * Plus performs a validation at the end of each successful COPY. If you set the SQL * variable more COPYCOMMIT DEFINED to a value positive n, SQL * Plus performs a validation after copying all lots n of records. The SQL * Plus ARRAYSIZE variable SET determines the size of a batch.

  Some operating environments require that the service names be placed between double quotes.

  From a SQL * Plus term on DB3, can resemble the command to move all content from my_table in DB1 to the same table in DB2

  COPY from user1/pass1@DB1 to user2/pass2@DB2 -
  INSERT INTO my_table -
  USING select * from my_table
  

  Note the SQL code * more line-continuation character ' - '. It is used to escape the newline character in a SQL * Plus command if you do not have to type all on one line. I use it all the time with this command, but I can't locate the documentation on that right now. Maybe someone else can put their finger on it.

  There are other ways to accomplish what the command copy and it is not without its quirks and limitations, but I find that there is usefulness in an Oracle Toolbox.

• Problem in «Insert into...» "Select * from tablename" query

  Hello
  I am inserting a million record from one table to another table using "insert in...". Select * from 'method. During this insertion, if one of the recording have insertion any problem then obiviously, be rollbacked, - not only that, to find the wrong people, the recording will be a tedious job.
  
  is it possible to find which record having problems during such an insertion? and is it possible to validate the transaction?
  
  Note: I know that we can use the collection method in bulk to solve this problem, but my situation, I have to use "insert..." Select * from 'method only.
  
  Please guide me if anyone have dealt with this problem before.
  
  Thank you

  You can try the ERROR LOG IN the clause of the INSERT statement.

  I'm trying to insert into an oracle temp table using select that retrieves data from a blob field but I get the error: "lack the SELECT keyword.

  How we store temporary in oracle result when we make this type of operation (extraction of data in fields and try to load them into a separate table on the fly.?)

  3 select * West longitude;
