Syntax error in update statement

• Error in update statement

  Hello
  
  I wrote an update statement as below:
  
  Update (select a.col1, a.col2 from table1, table2 b
  where a.pk1 = b.pk1 and
  a.PK2 = b.pk2 and
  a.PK3 = b.pk3 and
  a.PK4 in)
  Select a.pk4 from table1, table2 b
  where a.pk1 = b.pk1 and
  a.PK2 = b.pk2 and
  a.PK3 = b.pk3
  less
  Select pk4 from table2
  )
  ) s
  Set s.col1 = 'I ',.
  s.col2 = null;
  
  Table1 is a base table and the primary key for this table is made of CP1, CP2, pk3, pk4.
  Table 2 is a temporary table with no primary key column.
  My goal is to update the columns of table 1.
  I'm using the code above in a procedure and this error:
  ORA-01779: cannot modify a column that is mapped to a table not preserved key
  I'm sure that the error has to with the foregoing update statement.
  
  I have read a few articles and realize that Oracle can understand what table to update in this scenario. But I am at a loss to rewrite this query.
  Please advice, how I can rewrite this query.
  
  Thank you!

  Hello

  Instead of updating a view online, update your actual table, like this:

  UPDATE   table1
  SET      col1     = 'I'
  ,      col2     = NULL
  WHERE      (col1, col2, col3, col4) IN
        (
            SELECT  ...
            FROM    table1
            JOIN    table2  ...
        )
  ;
  

  I hope that answers your question.
  If not, post a small example data (CREATE TABLE and only relevant columns, INSERT statements) for all of the tables involved and also publish outcomes from these data.
  If you ask on a DML statement, such as UPDATE, the sample data will be the content of the or the tables before the DML, and the results will be the State of the or the tables changed when it's all over.
  Explain, using specific examples, how you get these results from these data.
  Always tell what version of Oracle you are using.
  See the FAQ forum {message identifier: = 9360002}

• Logging of DML errors for Update statement

  Hello
  
  I am facing a problem regarding recording with instructions to update DML errors.
  
  Oracle: 10.2
  
  I am running after update DML:
  

  BEGIN 
  
  UPDATE 
  table_1  a
  SET a.Exp_DATE =a.EFF_DATE 
  WHERE  a.col_a1 != (SELECT b.colb1
                       FROM table_2  b
                       WHERE  a.msisdn =b.msisdn )
  LOG ERRORS INTO table_1_ERR REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;                         
                           
                           
                           
  END ;    

  I expect that "ORA-01427: einreihig subquery returns several lines" would be entered in the table of error LOG "table_1_err".
  but instead, I got error lance and entire dml has been restored.
  
  Please let me know if this exception is not captured by the logging of DML errors.
  
  Thank you

  Logging error tables are there to capture violations of constraints. What you have is a coding error. So no, he will not be captured.

• MySQL stored procedure syntax errors

  I have a request online, I want to use transactions either commit all updates of db or anything. The code I created is as follows, not only am I getting an error of syntax on lines 5 and 16, but frankly I do not know that the code is really going to do what I want. Please let me know if you see syntax errors and explain them.

  CREATE PROCEDURE increase_maint_priority
      (maint_item INT, new_priority INT, cur_priority INT, center_id INT)
   
  BEGIN
      START TRANSACTION; -- line 5 syntax error
      -- start updates
      UPDATE maintitem SET priority = (priority+1) 
          WHERE priority > cur_priority
          AND priority <= new_priority
          AND centerID = center_id;
          
      UPDATE maintitem SET priority = new_priority
          WHERE id = maint_item;
      
      COMMIT;
  END; -- line 16 syntax error
  

  Thank you in advance for helping a newb to stored procedures.

  If you want to help me to know if this code will actually work for what I want, that the following describes the situation.

  Main idea: business location apply for maintenance at their Center. Applications can be added anywhere in the list of priority (1 = highest priority). They can also change the priority of an application at any time.

  Previously I was using php to control a loop of update mysql queries (ouch, I know now, 2 sql statements could do the trick) and we live lately priorities in double, and other problems which seem to be very likely related to the update of the priorities of several elements.

  Ex: moving priority 6 to priority 1 requires 1 update query because the current priority of the 6th point, but a second query (or loop of several others since I am very new to the drafting 2 years ago sql statements) to update the other priorities.

  Thus, the desire for transaction method.

  Once again, thanks in advance for any help on this matter.

  PS - I use MySQL workbench to write this and it's where to find errors.

  I do not use MySQL and its syntax is slightly different from the other DBMS stored procedures. In all cases, once you eliminate the warning, you also add a handler to ensure that updates roll back in case of error:

• Update/Insert Record Wizard syntax error

  Try using the Wizard update of records, I get the following error when you click the update button:
  
  You have an error in your SQL syntax; consult the manual for your version of the MySQL server for the right syntax to use near 'Condition 'Very good' =, system = "related" ', Desc "=" Art and decoration July thru' at line 1
  I get to the page for editing a page that displays all dbase, passing the index parameter to the update page when I click on a bound column index number. The update page appears full on the appropriate folder. It won't just accept the update button is clicked without generating the error, even if I make any changes at all to the record.
  
  An almost identical error pops up just trying to open the page to insert a form created with the wizard insert a Record for this same table/dbase.
  
  You have an error in your SQL syntax; consult the manual for your version of the MySQL server for the right syntax to use near 'State system 'Desc', price, weight, ThumbPic, library LargePic' at line 1
  
  The mysql database update etc directly through php admin, but not through these pages of the wizard due to the error message. I have not modified any coding, just followed the instructions. I've done several of these pages Update and Insert before for other dbases and tables, so I have an idea of what I'm doing, but never confronted to this. This can be a problem with the syntax of one of my titles of rank or something to do with the structure of the dbase? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated? Thank you

  I got it. Condition, one of my domain names and the first field mentioned in the error message is a reserved word in MySQL 5... Shortcut to the top name, cleaned the server behaviors for the new name of field and Update and Insert work very well.

• Gears update statement syntax

  I obviously have something messed up with the syntax of the following statement but I can't figure it out... anyone know what im doing wrong?

  _db.execute('UPDATE sbItems SET sbs1 = ? WHERE thedate = ?', [td,db]);
  

          sql = 'select * from sbItems where thedate = ?';
      rs = _db.execute(sql,[thedate]);
      if (rs.isValidRow()) {
          sql = 'UPDATE sbItems SET sbs1 = ? WHERE thedate = ?';
          _db.execute(sql, [sbs1,thedate]);
  
      } else {
          alert("Row not Found");
  
      }
  

  Turns out I had a problem with my formatting to survive that was causing the problem, the above code work if someone else happens to search for this...  FYI "subsist" is in fact a string and not a date in my table...

• Comment of "Syntax error in INSERT INTO statement." validation error.

  I had this working perfectly on MySQL. Then I was told that I had to do with a mdb database in Access, now the errors pop up like crazy. I fixed all of them except this one, I get a "syntax error in INSERT INTO statement." When I try to post a comment on a post in my mini-blog site.

  The thing is, I use almost the same code for the comments I make blog themselves. The positions work fine, the comments are not.

  He said that the error is on my page addcomment_process as 119. It is the following (line 119 is underlined, bold line is also bolded in the error message):

  < name cfquery = "input_comments."

  DataSource = "" #DSN # ""

  username = "" #DSNUSER # ""

  password = "#DSNPASS #" >

  INSERT INTO (comments)

  speaker,

  Comment,

  DateTime,

  post_id

  )

  VALUES)

  "#form.commenter #"

  "#form.comment #"

  "#form.datetime #"

  "#form.post_id #".

  )

  < / cfquery >

  It is all fine data, by simply inserting not, because it says:

  "INSERT INTO comments (speaker, comment, datetime, post_id) VALUES ('Anonymous', 'test commentary.', 25 April 12 22:55 ', ' 2').

  It worked perfectly, when it was a MySQL database, now I keep getting errors present a part of the site now that it is MDB. Anyone know what is happening?

  DateTime is a reserved word in Access.

• Syntax error in the loop statement For

  Hello
  
  Normally my staements FOR were not a problem as only the access one table. I have the example below, I'm to access the three table and that's why I get a syntax error.
  
  I want only to select the 'product' recored but need the other table to select it the good results.
  
  FOR product_rec IN (SELECT * from PRODUCT, PRODUCT_GROUP, PROD_PROD_GROUP)
  where PRODUCT_GROUP. PRODUCT_GROUP_KEY = PROD_PROD_GROUP. PRODUCT_GROUP_KEY
  and PROD_PROD_GROUP. PRODUCT_KEY = PRODUCT. PRODUCT_KEY
  and product.supplier_key = company_no
  and PROD_PROD_GROUP. MULTI_WEB_DIS = 1
  order of PROD_PROD_GROUP. MULTI_WEB_SEQ)
  
  Can someone make the correct syntx for this statement.
  
  Thank you
  
  Pete

  As Dom says:

  FOR product_rec IN (SELECT PRODUCT.* from PRODUCT, PRODUCT_GROUP,PROD_PROD_GROUP
  where PRODUCT_GROUP.PRODUCT_GROUP_KEY = PROD_PROD_GROUP.PRODUCT_GROUP_KEY
  and PROD_PROD_GROUP.PRODUCT_KEY = PRODUCT.PRODUCT_KEY
  and product.supplier_key = company_no
  and PROD_PROD_GROUP.MULTI_WEB_DIS = 1
  order by PROD_PROD_GROUP.MULTI_WEB_SEQ) 
  

  Or what he meant by "nice to have", use aliases:

  select p.*
  from
    product p,
    product_group pg,
    prod_prod_group ppg
  where
    pg.product_group_key = ppg.product_group_key
    and ppg.product_key = p.product_key
    and p.supplier_key = company_no
    and ppg.multi_web_dis = 1
  order by
    ppg.multi_web_seq
  

  Also note that company_no is not an alias in the above query. If there is a column, it should be an alias also (although with the full table name or alias if you switch to their use). If it is a PL/SQL variable, it is fine as it is.

• Help! It drives me crazy. Report CASE (missing operator) statement syntax error

  Hello
  
  Can anyone help with this SQL statement please. It uses a CASE statement but again I get a syntax error (missing operator) error message. The SQL statement runs without the CASE statement, so everything else is fine - it's just when I put the CASE back statement in.
  
  Here is the SQL statement:-
  
  SELECT transactions.ourRef, transactions.transDate, CASE WHEN transactions.transTypeID = 2 THEN transactionDetails.goodsVatable *-1 ELSE transactionDetails.goodsVatable END, transactionDetails.goodsNonVat, transactionDetails.VAT, transactionDetails.grandTotal, clients.clientCode, transTypes.transTypeDesc
  Operations, customers, transactionDetails, transTypes
  WHERE transactions.transID = transactionDetails.transID
  AND transactions.clientID = clients.clientID
  AND transactions.transTypeID = transTypes.transTypeID
  
  TransID = 2 means that it is a credit not instead of a Bill, that's why I want the goods vatable returned as a negative number.
  
  Thanks in advance.

  Too bad that you said that in a first time. I think you can consider using IIF() with access.

  Syntax: IIf (expr, truepart, falsepart)

  SELECT transactions.ourRef,
  transactions.transDate,
  IIf (transactions.transTypeID = 2, transactionDetails.goodsVatable *-1, transactionDetails.goodsVatable).

  transactionDetails.VAT,

• ERRORS in the LOG of the capture of 2291 on UPDATE statement errors

  We are running Oracle Database 10 g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production 64 - bit with the options of partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing
  
  We used often successfully the clause of the logging of errors during the execution of the batch to the database inserts. However, we now have a situation where an UPDATE statement is default and make back up when it encounters a referential constraint foreign key [ORA-02291]. It registers with success of coercion errors [ORA-02290] Check. Foreign keys are not carried over, and they have nothing to do with unique constraints or indexes on the table that is the target of the UPDATE statement. The logging of errors table was created using the DBMS_ERRLOG package. We have created to make sure that we introduced column format errors. The same problem occurs. The UPDATE statement tries to update about 12000 lines. Any help in understanding this problem would be appreciated.

• 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',

  Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated I got SQL for about six weeks and not very competent!

  Thank you!

  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.
