oracle sql developer after creating table , column name came as column1,column2 .... columnN - oracle

i am using sql developer Version 21.2.1.204 and when i create table by using new table function in IDE , and entered name and select type for each field
after clicking on ok button table is created but fields name are different,
COLUMN2,
COLUMN3,
COLUMN4,
came
i entered column name properly but still this is happening
you can see in images

If the wizard is not working for you, you can write out the DDL statement in a worksheet:
CREATE TABLE table1 (
id VARCHAR2(20),
name VARCHAR2(20),
address VARCHAR2(20),
age VARCHAR2(20) -- Why not use a number?
);
And run it.
As an aside, you probably should use date_of_birth and then calculate the age rather than using an age column that will go out of date as soon as the next person reaches their birthday.
CREATE TABLE table1 (
id VARCHAR2(20),
name VARCHAR2(20),
address VARCHAR2(20),
date_of_birth DATE
);

Oracle Object Type and Object Table

I have created an object type and a table. I would like to know how select, insert, update and delete operation on it.
create table employee_info (
empid number,
emp_name varchar2(50),
department varchar2(20),
designation varchar2(50),
salary number
);
create type employee_info_obj is object (
empid number,
department varchar2(50),
designation varchar2(50),
salary number
);
create type employee_info_obj_t is
table of employee_info_obj ;
You have only created an object type and an unrelated database table. If you want a database table based on the type, you need to create one:
create table employee_info of employee_info_obj;
While it can be nice in certain programming scenarios to have a type synced to a table, there are some downsides such as it being harder to add columns later, and third party tool support since the object table will not be listed in user_tables but only in user_object_tables and user_all_tables, so I would question the usefulness of this approach.

Can you use Object Types in Procedures in Oracle PL/SQL?

Hello fellow programmers. Im currently working on a webshop database for my studying program. Currently im trying to make a procedure which creates an order in the orders table for a customer when he/she/it is beeing created. I am also thinking of putting this into a constructor but since i want to use this functionality twice once when the order reaches a certain status and after creation i want to bundle this functionality in a procedure. I have spend nearly 8 hours of research and testing on this but since the feedback from oracle db on my code is 0 to nothing i cant figure out what is wrong. When i create the procedure it is not flagged as valid and i cant even see the parameters in the parameters tab when i click on the procedure. I hope the code formatting works this is my first post..
This are the types order and Customer which hold a REF to each other
CREATE TYPE ORDER_TYPE AS OBJECT(
Order_Id NUMBER,
Date_of_Creation DATE,
Items ITEM_LIST,
Status REF STATUS_TYPE,
Customer REF CUSTOMER_TYPE
);
CREATE TYPE CUSTOMER_TYPE AS OBJECT(
Customer_Id NUMBER,
Email VARCHAR2(254),
User_Name VARCHAR2(50),
Password VARCHAR2(20),
First_Name VARCHAR2(50),
Last_Name VARCHAR2(50),
Address ADDRESS_TYPE,
Shopping_Cart REF ORDER_TYPE
);
CREATE TABLE Orders OF ORDER_TYPE(Status SCOPE IS Order_Status NOT NULL, Customer NOT NULL)
NESTED TABLE Items STORE AS ORDER_ITEMS_NT_TAB;
ALTER TABLE Orders ADD CONSTRAINT PK_Orders PRIMARY KEY(Order_Id);
CREATE TABLE Customers OF CUSTOMER_TYPE(Customer_Id PRIMARY KEY,
Email NOT NULL,
User_Name NOT NULL,
Password NOT NULL,
First_Name NOT NULL,
Last_Name NOT NULL,
Address NOT NULL);
This is the procedure code. The input should be the customer created or updated. Then i want to insert a new order, i still have to change the id field to guid or uuid so every order will be unique but for testing purpose i just used 1. The item list should be empty at first and the status of the order should be status 1 which stands for "Shopping_Cart" this means that the order is still beeing created and should be displayed as shopping cart in the browser later on. After the insert i want to return the inserted row with the returning into statement so i cant update the customer and set the ref of his shopping cart to the new inserted order. I cant figure out whats wrong im still working on it but i would be greatful for any help.
CREATE PROCEDURE create_customer_order(customer IN CUSTOMER_TYPE) AS
DECLARE
shopping_c NUMBER;
BEGIN
INSERT INTO ORDERS
VALUES(1,CURRENT_DATE ,NEW ITEM_LIST(),(SELECT REF(os) FROM ORDER_STATUS os WHERE VALUE(os).STATUS_ID = 1),REF(customer))
RETURNING Order_Id INTO shopping_c;
UPDATE CUSTOMERS c
SET c.SHOPPING_CART = (SELECT REF(o) FROM ORDERS o WHERE o.ORDER_ID = shopping_c)
WHERE c.CUSTOMER_ID = customer.CUSTOMER_ID;
END;
Feel free to ask questions if something is not clear. Cheers!
I will include a working example.
But first, you did not provide all types. So i assumed them.
I see you have types that refer to eachother. This is basically not a good idea.
For storing data, you could use object types, but you could also use normal data types like number/varchar2. You would need tables orders/order_items/customers. If you want to make changes to the customer_type and your table is already populated with data, changing the type is difficult (what to do with the old data?).
But to come back at your question, here is a working example.
drop type customer_type force;
drop type order_type force;
drop type address_Type force;
drop type status_type force;
drop type item_list force;
create type STATUS_TYPE as object (
status number
);
create type ADDRESS_TYPE as object (
street varchar2(100)
);
create type ITEM_LIST as object (
itemname varchar2(100)
);
CREATE TYPE ORDER_TYPE AS OBJECT(
Order_Id NUMBER,
Date_of_Creation DATE,
Items ITEM_LIST,
Status REF STATUS_TYPE,
Customer REF CUSTOMER_TYPE
);
CREATE TYPE CUSTOMER_TYPE AS OBJECT(
Customer_Id NUMBER,
Email VARCHAR2(254),
User_Name VARCHAR2(50),
Password VARCHAR2(20),
First_Name VARCHAR2(50),
Last_Name VARCHAR2(50),
Address ADDRESS_TYPE,
Shopping_Cart REF ORDER_TYPE
);
alter type order_type compile;
drop table orders;
CREATE TABLE Orders (id number, Status status_type , Customer CUSTOMER_TYPE);
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE create_customer_order(p_customer IN CUSTOMER_TYPE) AS
shopping_c NUMBER;
BEGIN
dbms_output.enable(null);
INSERT INTO ORDERS (id, status, customer)
VALUES (1, null, p_customer)
RETURNING id INTO shopping_c;
commit;
dbms_output.put_line('id='||shopping_c);
END;
/
--Test
declare
l_customer customer_type;
begin
l_customer := customer_type (Customer_Id => 1
, email=>'a#b.org'
, user_name=>'test'
, password=>'DoyouReallyWantThis'
, first_name=>'first'
, last_name =>'last'
, address=>null --for simplicity
, shopping_cart=>null --for simplicity
);
create_customer_order(p_customer => l_customer);
end;
/
thanks for your answer.. It did not work for me and you also missed the update part in the procedure but still thank you for the effort. i managed to get the procedure working by running every code piece step by step and watching if it fails. Feels like javascript to me lol. I discovered for some reason i cant explain that you cant declare variables under the declare statement and you cant use defined object types as parameters. i could not find anything about it in the documentation. to everyone still interested how i solved the problem this is the code.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE create_customer_order(p_customer_id IN NUMBER)
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO ORDERS
VALUES(1, CURRENT_DATE, NEW ITEM_LIST(),(SELECT REF(os) FROM ORDER_STATUS os WHERE os.STATUS_ID = 1),(SELECT REF(c) FROM CUSTOMERS c WHERE c.CUSTOMER_ID = p_customer_id));
UPDATE CUSTOMERS c
SET c.SHOPPING_CART = (SELECT REF(o) FROM ORDERS o WHERE DEREF(o.Customer).Customer_Id = p_customer_id AND DEREF(o.STATUS).Status_Id = 1 )
WHERE c.CUSTOMER_ID = p_customer_id;
END;

ORA-00909 error when Insert object in object table

I am getting an error ORA-00909 in when inserting an object of a superType in an object table. These are the definitions for the objects:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE address AS OBJECT (
street VARCHAR(20),
country VARCHAR(20),
province VARCHAR(20),
city VARCHAR2(20),
zipcode VARCHAR(10)
) FINAL;
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE company AS OBJECT (
CIF VARCHAR2(9),
code VARCHAR2(10),
name VARCHAR2(20),
signUpDate DATE,
email VARCHAR2(20),
adminAddress address
) NOT FINAL;
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE inCourseCompany UNDER company (
postalAddress address,
numEmployees NUMBER
) FINAL;
And the object table:
CREATE TABLE companies_objtab OF company (PRIMARY KEY CIF) OBJECT IDENTIFIER IS PRIMARY KEY;
I try to insert an object with the following statement:
INSERT INTO companies_objtab VALUES (
company('J12345678','000001','Test Company',TO_DATE(sysdate, 'dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss'),'',address('','','','',''))
);
and I get error Error
SQL: ORA-00909: invalid number of arguments
00909. 00000 - "invalid number of arguments"
However, when I insert an object of the subtype inCourseCompany it is inserted correctly:
INSERT INTO companies_objtab VALUES (
inCourseCompany('G11111111','','',TO_DATE(sysdate, 'dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss'),'',address('','','','',''), address('','','','',''), 100)
);
Any hint about what causes the error?
I am using Oracle SQL Developer 4.0.2.15.21 and Oracle Database Express Edition 11g Release 2.
Thank you in advance.
i tried all your statements right as you posted them (copy-paste). Both on 12c and 11gR2. Everything worked, both inserts. The only thing I noticed is that your create table is a bit incorrect. This is the correct one (but this does not explain the error you get). HTH KR
CREATE TABLE companies_objtab OF company (CIF PRIMARY KEY) OBJECT IDENTIFIER IS PRIMARY KEY;
Maybe try dropping the table and creating it again.

Updating a view in oracle

Below, I have defined some tables, for the relevant ones I have typed in the definitions. Pretty simple, though now I'm trying to raise the salaries for those two employees in the view, and I can't complete the update having that error message you will see below. Anyone could guide me a bit, please??
Definitions for tables employees, projects and employees_projects:
create table employee
(
id number,
name varchar2(20),
mobile varchar2(10),
address varchar2(30),
salary number(6,2),
hire_date date,
department_id number
);
create table project
(
id number,
name varchar2(20),
budget number(10,2),
start_date date,
finish_date date
);
create table employee_projects
(
id number,
employee_id number,
project_id number
);
View definition is:
create view lucky_employees as
select e.name,e.salary from employees e, project p, employee_projects ep
where e.project_id=p.id and e.id=ep.employee_id and p.budget > 1000000.00 ;
SQL> select * from lucky_employees;
ID NAME SALARY
1 Maria 1365.28
2 Sonja 1365.28
Then, I try to update the view by 10%, which is something I know it's possible to do under certain conditions:
SQL>
update lucky_employees set salary = salary * 1.1;
update lucky_employees set salary = salary * 1.1
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01779: cannot modify a column which maps to a non key-preserved table
How would it be to succesfully update it??
Thanks very much, sorry for the inconveniences!!
create view lucky_employees as
select e.name from employees e, project p, employee_projects ep
where e.project_id=p.id and e.id=ep.employee_id and p.budget > 1000000.00 ;
This error is occurring because each salary of your view doesnot uniquely map to a salary of your employees table.
More information from oracle docs is here.
Anoter explanation from Burleson here.

Where does oracle store my object instances?

I've created the following two object types :
create or replace type person_typ as object (
person# varchar(10)
) not final;
create or replace type salesperson_typ under person_typ (
salesperson# varchar(10),
sSurname varchar(10),
sForename varchar(10),
dateOfBirth date
);
create table person_tab of person_typ (
person# primary key
);
And I've inserted a row using :
insert into person_tab
values (salesperson_typ('p1','s1', 'Jones', 'John', sysdate));
Which I can retrieve using the following :
select
treat(value(s) as salesperson_typ).person# as person_number,
treat(value(s) as salesperson_typ).sSurname as sSurname
from
person_tab s
;
However, if I look at person_tab I only see the following :
SQL> select * from person_tab;
PERSON#
----------
p1
I'm curious, where does the salesperson specific data get stored? I was almost expecting to find a salesperson table, but I can't find anything obvious.
Your object is stored invisibly in the same table.
You can check columns by querying USER_TAB_COLS:
SELECT *
FROM user_tab_cols
WHERE table_name = 'PERSON_TAB';
Then you can then use the column names* you just discovered in a query (except SYS_NC_ROWINFO$, that throws an error for me).
SELECT SYS_NC_OID$
,SYS_NC_TYPEID$
--,SYS_NC_ROWINFO$
,PERSON#
,SYS_NC00005$
,SYS_NC00006$
,SYS_NC00007$
,SYS_NC00008$
FROM PERSON_TAB;
Note*
You should not use these column names in any application because they are internal and subject to change in future patches/releases.
