PL/SQL MERGE INTO statement ignored - oracle

I want to create procedure will move the product (isdiscontinued=1) to another table (Product_discontinued_[NTID]). Structure of the two tables is identical.
PROCEDURE move_table AS
begin
merge into PRODUCTS_DISCONTINUTED b
using PRODUCTS a
on (a.ID = b.ID)
when matched then
update set b.id = a.id,b.productname = a.productname,b.supplierid=a.supplierid,b.unitprice=a.unitprice,
b.package=a.package, b.isdiscontinuted=a.isdiscontinuted
where a.isdiscontinuted = 1
when not matched then
insert (id,productname,supplierid,unitprice,package,isdiscontinuted)
values( a.id,a.productname,a.supplierid,a.unitprice,a.package,a.isdiscontinuted)
where a.isdiscontinuted = 1; END move_table;
I tried to write a procedure to move table PRODUCTS_DISCONTINUTED to PRODUCTS with using MERGE INO statement but it always keep getting the following errors. Could you please help me. Much appreciated.
[enter image description here][2]
error

Terminate merge and remove null;
when not matched then
insert ...
where a.isdicontinuted = 1; --> semi-colon here
-- null; --> remove this
end move_table;
I created tables involved, simply by looking at code you posted. Doing so, procedure gets created:
SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE move_table
2 AS
3 BEGIN
4 MERGE INTO PRODUCTS_DISCONTINUTED b
5 USING PRODUCTS a
6 ON (a.ID = b.ID)
7 WHEN MATCHED

9 UPDATE SET b.id = a.id,
10 b.productname = a.productname,
11 b.supplierid = a.supplierid,
12 b.unitprice = a.unitprice,
13 b.package = a.package,
14 b.isdiscontinuted = a.isdiscontinuted
15 WHERE a.isdiscontinuted = 1
16 WHEN NOT MATCHED
17 THEN
18 INSERT (id,
19 productname,
20 supplierid,
21 unitprice,
22 package,
23 isdiscontinuted)
24 VALUES (a.id,
25 a.productname,
26 a.supplierid,

However, error you specified:
ORA-00904: "ISDISCONTINUTED" invalid identifier
means that there's no column whose name is ISDISCONTINUTED. Are you sure you didn't make a typo? Compare table description to code in the procedure - I guess there's a mismatch.

My answer is fetching multiple rows apart from the rows provided in the output

I am trying to write a PLSQL block to display details of books along with their Author and Publisher. problem statement is as follow: Use String functions to display only the first 10 letters of column 'Title' and Sort the result set based on 'Title' in ascending order. Schema details are given below:-
Table Name Columns
1.author authorid, firstname, lastname
2.book author_id, bookid, publisherid, title
3.publisher publisherid, publishername
Output format is as follows:
BOOKID.............TITLE.............publisher.............Author
639163050...........10 Years o...........Prentice Hall...........Paul Deitel
330895717...........African Fo...........Prentice Hall...........Tem Nieto
set serveroutput on;
declare
cursor c is
select * from book b
left join author on authorid=author_id
left join publisher p on b.publisherid=p.publisherid
order by title asc;
begin
dbms_output.put_line('BOOKID'||'.............'||'TITLE'||'.............'||'publisher'||'.............'||'Author');
for i in c loop
dbms_output.put_line(i.bookid||'.............'||substr(i.title,1,10)||'.............'||i.publishername||'.............'||concat(i.firstname||' ',i.lastname));
end loop;
end;

If I understood what you're saying, you'll need RPAD (to full column length, counting dots as well), along with SUBSTR. Something like this:
SQL> set serveroutput on
SQL>
SQL> begin
2 -- Header
3 dbms_output.put_line(
4 'BOOKID.............TITLE.............publisher.............Author');
5
6 -- You'd actually join those tables to get the result; I'm fabricating it
7 -- as you didn't post proper sample data
8 for cur_r in (select 639163050 bookid, '10 years of something' title,
9 'Prentice Hall' publisher, 'Paul Dietel' author from dual union all
10 select 330895717 , 'African fog is foggy' ,
11 'Prentice Hall' , 'Tem Nieto' from dual
12 )
13 loop
14 dbms_output.put_line(rpad(cur_r.bookid, 19, '.') ||
15 rpad(substr(cur_r.title, 1, 10), 18, '.') ||
16 rpad(cur_r.publisher, 22, '.') ||
17 cur_r.author
18 );
19 end loop;
20 end;
21 /
BOOKID.............TITLE.............publisher.............Author

How to return rows based on the database user and the table's contents?

I have a following table:
id name score
1 SYS 4
2 RHWTT 5
3 LEO 4
4 MOD3_ADMIN 5
5 VPD674 4
6 SCOTT 5
7 HR 4
8 OE 5
9 PM 4
10 IX 5
11 SH 4
12 BI 5
13 IXSNEAKY 4
14 DVF 5
I want to create a policy function in Oracle SQL that makes sure of the following things:
If a user(Leo) is executing a select statement on this table, it only gets 3 LEO 4.
sys_dba gets all the results no matter what.
I have given select permissions to Leo on this table created by Scott.
I am getting stuck at writing this complex PL/SQL function. I tried the following and it states compilation errors. Also, I think it does not do what I intend to do:
CREATE FUNCTION no_show_all (
p_schema IN NUMBER(5),
p_object IN VARCHAR2
)
RETURN
AS
BEGIN
RETURN 'select avg(score) from scott.rating';
END;
/
Based on your previous question and info you posted, here's how I understood the question: if you granted select on the whole table to any user, then it is able to fetch all rows from it. You have to further restrict values.
One option - as we're talking about the function - is to use case in where clause.
Here's an example.
Sample data:
SQL> create table rating as
2 select 1 id, 'sys' name, 4 score from dual union all
3 select 3, 'leo' , 3 from dual union all
4 select 6, 'scott' , 5 from dual union all
5 select 7, 'hr' , 2 from dual;
Table created.
Function:
it accepts username as a parameter (mind letter case! In my example, everything is lowercase. In your, perhaps you'll have to use upper function or something like that)
case says: if par_user is equal to sys, let it fetch all rows. Otherwise, fetch only rows whose name column's value is equal to par_user
return the result
So:
SQL> create or replace function f_rating (par_user in varchar2)
2 return number
3 is
4 retval number;
5 begin
6 select avg(score)
7 into retval
8 from rating
9 where name = case when par_user = 'sys' then name
10 else par_user
11 end;
12 return retval;
13 end;
14 /
Function created.
Let's try it:
SQL> select f_rating('sys') rating_sys,
2 f_rating('hr') rating_hr
3 from dual;
RATING_SYS RATING_HR
---------- ----------
3,5 2

I suggest creating a view for each user, like so
create view THE_VIEW as select * from TABLE where NAME = user
Then grant access to the view only.
Now it doesn't matter what kind of query a user tries to perform on your table, she will only get one row back.
Of-course the DBA user can access all the table data.

What is the most efficient way to update values of a table based on a mapping from another table

I have a table including following details.
empID department location segment
1 23 55 12
2 23 11 12
3 25 11 39
I also have a mapping table like following
Field old value new value
Department 23 74
department 25 75
segment 10 24
location 11 22
So My task is to replace old values with new values. I can actually use a cursor and update departments first then segments so on and so forth . But that is time consuming and inefficient. I would like to know if there are any efficient way to do this. Which also need to support in future if we were plan to add more columns to the mapping.
cheers.
Check this if it solves the issue.
update emp set department = (select map.new_value from map where emp.department = map.old_value);
How about copying the data to a new table?
CREATE TABLE newemp AS
SELECT e.empid,
NVL(d.new_value, e.department) AS department,
NVL(l.new_value, e.location) AS location,
NVL(s.new_value, e.segment) AS segment
FROM emp e
LEFT JOIN map d ON d.field='DEPARTMENT' AND e.department = d.old_value
LEFT JOIN map l ON l.field='LOCATION' AND e.location = d.old_value
LEFT JOIN map s ON s.field='SEGMENT' AND e.segment = d.old_value
ORDER BY e.empid;
EMPID DEPARTMENT LOCATION SEGMENT
1 84 55 12
2 84 11 12
3 75 11 39
You'll need obviously three passes through the mapping table, but only one pass through the emp table.
We use a LEFT JOIN because not all values will be changed. If no new_value is found, the NVL function uses the existing value of the emp table.
You could update the original table from this new table (if the new table has a primary key):
UPDATE (SELECT empid,
e.department as old_department,
n.department as new_department,
e.location as old_location,
n.location as new_location,
e.segment as old_segment,
n.segment as new_segment
FROM emp e
JOIN newemp n USING (empid))
SET old_department = new_department,
old_location = new_location,
old_segment = new_segment
WHERE old_department != new_department
OR old_location != new_location
OR old_segment != new_segment;

Copying data from LOB Column to Long Raw Column

I was looking for a query which picks data from a table having Blob column and update a table having LONG RAW column. It seems Oracle supports only up to 4000 characters. Is there a way to copy full data from blob to long raw.
I was using the follwing query
insert into APPDBA.QA_SOFTWARE_DUMMY
select SOFTWARE_ID, UPDATED_BY, CREATE_CHANGE_DATE, FILE_NAME,
DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR(SOFTWARE_FILE, 4000) SOFTWARE_FILE, SOFTWARE_TYPE
from APPDBA.QA_SOFTWARE_DUMMY_TEST ;
but DBMS_LOB.SUBSTR supports only upto 4000 characters.
Any help is highly appreciated.
PL/SQL will only read/write the first 32k of a LONG RAW and SQL will convert the column as a RAW so will only deal with the first 2000 bytes.
You can use java to access LONG RAW columns directly from the DB, as demonstrated in the question "Get the LENGTH of a LONG RAW".
Here's a little example, first the setup:
SQL> CREATE TABLE t (ID NUMBER PRIMARY key, source BLOB, destination LONG RAW);
Table created
SQL> DECLARE
2 l_lob BLOB;
3 BEGIN
4 INSERT INTO t VALUES (1, 'FF', '') RETURNING SOURCE INTO l_lob;
5 FOR i IN 1..10 LOOP
6 dbms_lob.writeappend(l_lob, 4000,
7 utl_raw.overlay('FF', 'FF', 1, 4000, 'FF'));
8 END LOOP;
9 END;

Despite the fact that you make a reversal (normaly you should move from LONG to LOB, LONG being obsolete)...
You must use dbms_lob package, and make some plsql:
Eventualy you can use read, getlength...
Doc you can find here Psoug.org
or on Oracle doc

How can I get values from one table to another via similar values?

I have a table called excel that has 3 columns, name, id, and full_name. The name part is the only one I have and I need to fill id and full_name. The other table that contains the data is called tim_pismena and has 2 columns that I need, id and pismeno_name (the actual names are not important, but i'm writing them just for clarity). In pseudooracle code :) the select that gets me the values from the second table would be done something like this:
SELECT tp.id, tp.pismeno_name
FROM tim_pismena tp
WHERE upper(tp.pismeno_name) LIKE IN upper('%(SELECT name FROM excel)%')
and when used with an insert, the end result should be something like
name id full_name
Happy Joe 55 Very fun place Happy Joe, isn't it?
Use merge statement
1 MERGE
2 INTO excel tgt
3 USING tim_pismenae src
4 ON ( upper(src.naziv_pismena) LIKE '%'||upper(tgt.ime)||'%')
5 WHEN MATCHED
6 THEN
7 UPDATE
8 SET tgt.id = src.id
9 , tgt.full_name = src.naziv_pismena
10 WHEN NOT MATCHED
11 THEN
12 INSERT ( tgt.name
13 , tgt.id
14 , tgt.full_name )
15 VALUES ( src.naziv_pismena
16 , src.id
17 , src.naziv_pismena )
18 WHERE (1 <> 1);
