Oracle Forms Post-Query FRM-40735 and ORA-01422 - oracle

I want to display the item from different table, I am using POST-QUERY trigger
:
SELECT Stock_code
INTO :exchange.stockcode
FROM Exchange_Stock
WHERE Exchange_code = :exchange.Exchange_code;
it come up with FRM-40735 and ORA-01422
but it display some of the record (not all),
I have no idea what is wrong

Most probably the POST-QUERY trigger fires just after the fields of table-based block with multiple records are populated. Obviously Exchange_code values are not unique throughout the table data, whereas a SELECT .. INTO .. FROM ... clause only can bring one row record.
So, you can try to filter out the results so as to get single rows for each parameter fields combinations such as :exchange.Exchange_code & :exchange.code_order instead of only :exchange.Exchange_code field within the WHERE condition :
SELECT Stock_code
INTO :exchange.stockcode
FROM Exchange_Stock
WHERE Exchange_code = :exchange.Exchange_code
AND code_order = :exchange.code_order;
where important thing is to get single row from the query matching for each record in the data block. You can still add more condition to the query if this condition is not provided yet.

How to replace NULL values in one column to 0 (of a very large table) without creating a new column of the desired results added to the table in HIVE?

I am trying to replace all of the NULL values to 0 in a column of a big table in HIVE.
However, every time I try to implement some code I end up generating a new column to the table. The column I am trying to change/modify still exists and still has the NULL values but the new column that is automatically generated (i.e. _c1) is what I want the column I am trying to modify, to look like.
I tried to run a COALESCE but that also ended up generating a new column. I also tried to implement a CASE WHEN, but the same results ensued.
Select *,
CASE WHEN columnname IS NULL THEN 0
ELSE columnname
END
from tablename;
Also tried
SELECT coalesce(columnname, CAST(0 AS BIGINT)) FROM tablename
I would just like to update the table with the other columns being as is but the column I want to modify still has its original name but instead of NULL values it has 0's that replaced them.
I don't want to generate a new column but modify an existing one.
How should I do that?
Use insert overwrite .. option.
insert overwrite table tablename
select c1,c2,...,coalesce(columnname,0) as columnname
from tablename
Note that you have to specify all the other column names required in select.

Oracle forms sort records

What I wanted is to sort records in a multi-record block before saving like this:
I already tried to change the order by of this item in here:
But it has no effect(I think).
I also want to know if I can automatically sort records in
WHEN-NEW-RECORD-INSTANCE in block level so that after entering the last record, it will be sorted.
We need to have a multi-record block ( block1 ) with Query Data Source Name property set to a table name which has a varchar2 type column namely str1,
and a Text Item (str1) with Database Item Property is "Yes" ( i.e. default ),
and lastly have a button with the following code inside of WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger of it :
declare
v_blk varchar2(25) := 'block1';
begin
commit_form;
go_block(v_blk);
execute_query;
end;
Provided we set ORDER BY Clause property set to ascii(str1) as in the picture below, we'll be able to get the desired output when the button pressed after letters are entered in the order of 'h','e','l','l','o'.

filter tablix without datasource values in ssrs

I have SSRS report and I need to filter a static table that I created inside the report based on parameter. There is no data source to this table and I'm entering the data manually.
The tablix contain 3 columns.
How can I filter the columns based on parameter?
I tried in the expression =#param1 for example but it doesn't work.
For now I only manage to filter if the expression is on data source fields.
Do you literally have a table with a number of values in it written directly into the report? If so I don't think you will be able to perform any filtering on it as effectively all you've done it write data into textboxes that are displayed.
I would imagine your best option would be to instead create a new dataset and populate this with your static data, e.g.
SELECT 'A' AS Letter, 'English' AS Language
UNION
SELECT 'B' AS Letter, 'French' AS Language
UNION
SELECT 'A' AS Letter, 'German' AS Language
To give you a table as follows
Letter | Language
-------+----------
A | English
B | French
A | German
That you could then filter on Letter = A
So essentially you have a Tablix that has 3 columns pre-populated with information you have manually entered into the text boxes themselves? Since you've already entered that data, I don't believe there is a way to filter that at run time. That data is hard coded in essence. The Filter ability in SSRS is used as a WHERE clause so it restricts what is brought forth into the report from the query.
I would create a data source connection to a dummy database, create a DataSet, and create a query that fills a temporary table will all the information that you've manually entered. Once you create the temporary table and inserted values into it, you can then perform a SELECT with a parameter. Your Tablix will only be populated with information that matches the parameter. Something to the effect of this:
CREATE TABLE #TempTable (
ID INT
,Name VARCHAR(MAX)
,Email VARCHAR(MAX)
)
INSERT INTO #TempTable (
ID
,Name
,Email
)
VALUES (
1
,'Bob'
,'bob#email.com'
)
,(
2
,'Frank'
,'frank#email.com'
)
,(
3
,'Jim'
,'jim#email.com'
)
SELECT
*
FROM
#TempTable
WHERE
ID = #ID
DROP TABLE #TempTable

Inserting an empty row

This is so simple it has probably already been asked, but I couldn't find it (if that's the case I'm sorry for asking).
I would like to insert an empty row on a table so I can pick up its ID (primary key, generated by an insert trigger) through an ExecuteScalar. Data is added to it at a later time in my code.
My question is this: is there a specific insert syntax to create an empty record? or must I go with the regular insert syntax such as "INSERT INTO table (list all the columns) values (null for every column)"?
Thanks for the answer.
UPDATE: In Oracle, ExecuteScalar on INSERT only returns 0. The final answer is a combination of what was posted below. First you need to declare a parameter, and pick up it up with RETURNING.
INSERT INTO TABLENAME (ID) VALUES (DEFAULT) RETURNING ID INTO :parameterName
Check this out link for more info.
You would not have to specify every single column, but you may not be able to create an "empty" record. Check for NOT NULL constraints on the table. If none (not including the Primary Key constraint), then you would only need to supply one column. Like this:
insert into my_table ( some_column )
values ( null );
Do you know about the RETURNING clause? You can return that PK back to your calling application when you do the INSERT.
insert into my_table ( some_column )
values ( 'blah' )
returning my_table_id into <your_variable>;
I would question the approach though. Why create an empty row? That would/could mean there are no constraints on that table, a bad thing if you want good, clean, data.
Basically, in order to insert a row where values for all columns are NULL except primary
key column's value you could execute a simple insert statement:
insert into your_table(PK_col_name)
values(1); -- 1 for instance or null
The before insert trigger, which is responsible for populating primary key column will
override the value in the values clause of the insert statement leaving you with an
empty record except PK value.

Oracle Update and Return a Value

I am having a Update Statement on a large volume table.
It updates only one row at a time.
Update MyTable
Set Col1 = Value
where primary key filters
With this update statement gets executed I also want a value in return to avoid a Select Query on a same table to save resources.
What will be my syntax to achieve this?
You can use the RETURNING keyword.
Update MyTable
Set Col1 = Value
where primary key filters
returning column1,column2...
into variable1,variable2...
