Error unique constraint and during execution of trigger oracle - oracle

I have form in which user add information of new born baby with his/her head family name. When add information into table then getting following errors
ORA-00001: unique constraint (PK) violated
ORA-06512: at trigger_name, line 21
ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger
Trigger:

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('New Born Baby successfully added to member table');
END trg_nbb;

ALTER TRIGGER "DB_NAME"."TRG_NBB" ENABLE;
When I execute this sql query It's take 4 to 5 seconds and increment in values very quickly
select max(nvl(col_2,0))+1 into newmofid from tab_2;
Result:
6030819791
Again execute takes 3 to 4 seconds
Result:
6030819798
How to solve this problem?
Thanks

I suspect it is MAX + 1 that causes problems:
select max(nvl(col_2,0))+1 into newmofid from tab_2;
Such a principle is in most cases wrong and will fails, especially in a multi-user environment where two (or more) users at the same time fetch the same MAX + 1 value, do some processing, and - at the time of insert - one of them succeeds (because it is the first), but the rest of them fail because such a value already exists in the table.
I suggest you switch to a sequence, e.g.
create sequence seq_baby;
and then, in your form, do
select seq_baby.nextval into newmofid from dual;

PLSQL Trigger - Update another table before inserting a new record

I have 3 tables that are related to each other:
ACCOUNTS
CARDS
TRANSACTIONS
I want to change the money amount from account every time I execute a new transaction. I want to decrease the account value with each new move.
I tried writing this trigger:
create or replace trigger ceva_trig1
before insert on miscari
for each row
declare
new_val micari.valoare%tipe := new.valoare;
begin
update conturi
set sold = sold - new_val
where nrcont = (select nrcont
from conturi
join carti_de_credit on conturi.nrcont = carti_de_credit.nrcont
join miscari on carti_de_credit.nr_card = miscari.nrcard)
and sold >= new_val;
end;
May anyone help me correct the syntax that crashes here?
I've created those tables with minimal number of columns, just to make trigger compile.
SQL> create table conturi
2 (sold number,
3 nrcont number
4 );
Table created.
SQL> create table miscari
2 (valoare number,
3 nrcard number
4 );
Table created.
SQL> create table carti_de_credit
2 (nrcont number,
3 nr_card number
4 );
Table created.
Trigger:
SQL> create or replace trigger ceva_trig1
2 before insert on miscari
3 for each row
4 begin
5 update conturi c
6 set c.sold = c.sold - :new.valoare
7 where c.nrcont = (select r.nrcont
8 from carti_de_credit r
9 where r.nrcont = c.nrcont
10 and r.nr_card = :new.nrcard
11 )
12 and c.sold >= :new.valoare;
13 end;
14 /
Trigger created.

How does it differ from your code? Like this:
SQL> create or replace trigger ceva_trig1
2 before insert on miscari
3 for each row
4 declare
5 new_val micari.valoare%tipe := new.valoare;
6 begin
7 update conturi
8 set sold = sold - new_val
9 where nrcont = (select nrcont
10 from conturi
11 join carti_de_credit on conturi.nrcont = carti_de_credit.nrcont
12 join miscari on carti_de_credit.nr_card = miscari.nrcard)
13 and sold >= new_val;
14 end;

Explained:
it isn't tipe but type
new column values are referenced with a colon, i.e. :new.valoare
you shouldn't make typos regarding table & column names; it is miscari, not micari
it is bad practice to write query which references the same table (miscari, line #12) trigger is created for. As it is being changed, you can't select values from it as it is mutating
lucky you, you don't have to do that at all. How? Have a look at my code.
Attempting to maintain an ongoing for transactions in one table in another table is always a bad idea. Admittedly in an extremely few cases it's necessary, but should be the design of last resort not an initial one; even when necessary it's still a bad idea and therefore requires much more processing and complexity.
In this instance after you correct all the errors #Littlefoot points out then your real problems begin. What do you do when: (Using Littlefoot's table definitions)
I delete a row from miscari?
I update a row in miscari?
The subselect for nrcont returns 0 rows?
The condition sold >= new_val is False?
If any of conditions occur the value for sold in conturi is incorrect and may not be correctable from values in the source table - miscari. An that list may be just the beginning of the issues you face.
Suggestion: Abandon the idea of keeping an running account of transaction values. Instead derive it when needed. You can create a view that does that and select from the view.
So maybe instead of "create table conturi ..."

PL/SQL ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into when using CASE

I have the following PL/SQL Block:
declare
vDayType varchar2(10);
TYPE Holidays is table of varchar2(5);
hd Holidays := Holidays('01.01','15.01','19.01','28.05','04.07','08.10','11.11','22.11','25.12');
begin
for s in (select distinct saleDate from Sales) loop
vDayType := case when TO_CHAR(s.saleDate, 'dd.mm') member of hd then
'Holiday'
when to_char(s.saleDate, 'd') IN (1,7) then
'Weekend'
else
'Weekday'
end;
insert into times (saleDay, dayType) values (s.saleDate, vDayType);
end loop;
end;
/
This pulls data from a OLTP Table named SALES and inserts it into the dimension table named TIMES. It incorporates a CASE statement to "calculate" days that are Holidays, Weekdays, or Weekends. Unfortunately, when I run this code, I'm getting the following error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01400: cannot insert NULL into ("CM420A01"."TIMES"."SALEDAY")
ORA-06512: at line 14
I believe it is inserting NULL because I have it set to only SELECT DISTINCT values from saleDate in the SALES OLTP Table. I'm assuming it's still trying to insert the dayType from the CASE statement, even when it's not inserting a saleDay because of the DISTINCT statement, which is thus inserting NULL into the saleDay column and causing the error.
Any tips/tricks to recover from this issue so it'll run without error?
Added WHERE SALES.vehicleStatus = 'sold' clause due to NULL values that were being inserted for vehicles what were listed as pending or available and didn't yet have saleDate's......

Trigger with subquery

I'm trying to create a trigger that controls cycles in a self-referencing table.
Unfortunately I've got an error. Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER CHECK_CYCLE
BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON DEPARTMENTS
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF :NEW.PARENT_ID =
(SELECT ID, PARENT_ID, NAME, LEVEL,
CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF AS ISLEAF,
PRIOR NAME AS PARENT_NAME,
CONNECT_BY_ROOT NAME AS ROOT
FROM DEPARTMENTS
START WITH PARENT_ID IS NULL
CONNECT BY PRIOR ID = PARENT_ID)
THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(20000, 'Sorry.');
END IF;
END;
Error(9,25): PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "AS" when expecting one of the following:
, from
This seems to be the parser getting confused. If you remove the AS ROOT completely then it reverts to the expected PLS-00405: subquery not allowed in this context error. No idea why it is confused - you can run that query standalone - but since you can't do what you're attempting it's probably not worth worrying about too much.
Your subquery also has three columns and will return multiple rows, so comparing with the current row's scalar PARENT_ID isn't going to work. You could run your subquery separately and select the value you're actually interested in into a local variable, and check against that.
But you have a before-insert trigger and you're querying the table the trigger is against, so you'll get a mutating table exception anyway when you try to insert (or at least, if you try to insert multiple rows at once).
If I understand what you're trying to achieve, you can use an after-insert trigger instead:
create or replace trigger check_cycle
after insert or update on departments
declare
l_hascycle pls_integer;
begin
select max(connect_by_iscycle)
into l_hascycle
from departments
start with parent_id is null
connect by nocycle prior id = parent_id;
if l_hascycle = 1 then
raise_application_error(-20000, 'Sorry.');
end if;
end;
/
This uses the CONNECT_BY_ISCYCLE pseudocolumn, which will be zero for all rows if there is no cycling, and one for any column that cycles. Selecting and checking the max() of that means you'll have a single value of 0 or 1 in the local l_hascycle variable, and you can use that to decide whether to throw an exception.
Inserting a couple of test rows on top of existing non-cycling data such as:
ID PARENT_ID NAME
---------- ---------- ------------
1 Test
2 1 Test
... where the first new row is OK and the second would cause a cycle:
insert into departments (id, parent_id, name) values (3, 2, 'OK');
1 row inserted.
insert into departments (id, parent_id, name) values (2, 3, 'Cycles');
ORA-20000: Sorry.
ORA-06512: at "SCHEMA.CHECK_CYCLE", line 11
ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'SCHEMA.CHECK_CYCLE'
The first insert is still in effect (but not yet committed), the second was implicitly rolled back:
select * from departments:
ID PARENT_ID NAME
---------- ---------- ------------
1 Test
2 1 Test
3 2 OK
This won't catch cycles in data that is not connected to an existing tree culminating in a null parent, because of the start with clause; so for exampel with data you could insert 4,5 and 5,4 without raising an exception, as there is no route from either 4 or 5 to a row with a null parent. But that's a different issue and something you might want to test for separately.
It also can't see data from uncommitted changes in other sessions, so it's possible for two sessions to simultaneously insert rows that are valid independently but which still would form a cycle once both are committed.
I think I found the error in your query, it's in this line -
CONNECT_BY_ROOT NAME AS ROOT
which is not built correctly.
Try changing it to something like
CONNECT_BY_ROOT AS ROOT

Oracle 'INSERT ALL' ignore duplicates

I have a database table with a unique constraint on it (unique (DADSNBR, DAROLEID) pair). I am going to be inserting multiple values into this table simultaneously, so I'd like to get it done using one query - I'm assuming this would be the faster way. My query is thus:
INSERT ALL
INTO ACCESS (DADSNBR, DAROLEID) VALUES (68, 1)
INTO ACCESS (DADSNBR, DAROLEID) VALUES (68, 2)
INTO ACCESS (DADSNBR, DAROLEID) VALUES (68, 3)
INTO ACCESS (DADSNBR, DAROLEID) VALUES (68, 4)
SELECT 1 FROM DUAL
Since there are some entries within the statement that are duplicates of those already in the database, the whole insert fails and none of the rows are inserted.
Is there a way to ignore the cases where the unique constraint fails, and just insert the ones that are unique, without having to split it up into individual INSERT statements?
Edit: I realised I probably don't want to do this anyway, but I'm still curious as to whether it's possible or not.
In Oracle, statements either succeed completely or fail completely (they are atomic). However, you can add clauses in certain cases to log exceptions instead of raising errors:
using BULK COLLECT - SAVE EXCEPTIONS, as demonstrated in this thread on askTom,
or using DBMS_ERRLOG (available since 10g I think).
The second method is all automatic, here's a demo (using 11gR2):
SQL> CREATE TABLE test (pk1 NUMBER,
2 pk2 NUMBER,
3 CONSTRAINT pk_test PRIMARY KEY (pk1, pk2));
Table created.
SQL> /* Statement fails because of duplicate */
SQL> INSERT into test (SELECT 1, 1 FROM dual CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 2);
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00001: unique constraint (VNZ.PK_TEST) violated
SQL> BEGIN dbms_errlog.create_error_log('TEST'); END;
2 /
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL> /* Statement succeeds and the error will be logged */
SQL> INSERT into test (SELECT 1, 1 FROM dual CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 2)
2 LOG ERRORS REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
1 row(s) inserted.
SQL> select ORA_ERR_MESG$, pk1, pk2 from err$_test;
ORA_ERR_MESG$ PK1 PK2
--------------------------------------------------- --- ---
ORA-00001: unique constraint (VNZ.PK_TEST) violated 1 1
You can use the LOG ERROR clause with INSERT ALL (thanks #Alex Poole), but you have to add the clause after each table:
SQL> INSERT ALL
2 INTO test VALUES (1, 1) LOG ERRORS REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED
3 INTO test VALUES (1, 1) LOG ERRORS REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED
4 (SELECT * FROM dual);
0 row(s) inserted.
Use the MERGE statement to handle this situation:
merge into "ACCESS" a
using
(
select 68 as DADSNBR,1 as DAROLEID from dual union all
select 68,2 from dual union all
select 68,3 from dual union all
select 68,4 from dual
) t
on (t.DADSNBR = a.DADSNBR and t.DAROLEID = a.DAROLEID)
when not matched then
insert (DADSNBR, DAROLEID)
values (t.DADSNBR, t.DAROLEID);

Bulk Update from one table to another

So I tried the bulk update in order to copy values from uemte_id column in pp_terminal table to uemte_id column (null at start) in mm_chip table. These two tables have no columns in common.This is what I used:
declare
type ue_tab is table of
pp_terminal.uemte_id%type;
ue_name ue_tab;
cursor c1 is select uemte_id from pp_terminal;
begin
open c1;
fetch c1 bulk collect into ue_name;
close c1;
-- bulk insert
forall indx in ue_name.first..ue_name.last
update mm_chip set uemte_id = ue_name(indx);
end;
/
And this is the error message I get:
Error report:
ORA-00001: unique constraint (DPOWNERA.IX_AK7_MM_CHIP) violated
ORA-06512: at line 13
00001. 00000 - "unique constraint (%s.%s) violated"
*Cause: An UPDATE or INSERT statement attempted to insert a duplicate key.
For Trusted Oracle configured in DBMS MAC mode, you may see
this message if a duplicate entry exists at a different level.
*Action: Either remove the unique restriction or do not insert the key.
Do you see any obvious misstakes?
What you're trying to do is:
select a row from the first table
update every row in the second table with that value
select another row from the first table
update every row in the second table with that value
and so forth until the loop finishes
I'm guessing that's not what you really want to do. It's failing because you have a unique constraint so you're not allowed to have multiple rows in the second table with the same value.
Below is one way to update each row of one table based on the value of an arbitrary row in a second table, without reusing any rows from the second table. It would perform better if you could do it entirely in SQL, but I couldn't come up with a way to do that.
CREATE TABLE test4 AS
(SELECT LEVEL AS cola, CAST(NULL AS number) AS colb
FROM DUAL
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 100);
CREATE TABLE test5 AS
(SELECT 100 + LEVEL AS colc
FROM DUAL
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 99);
DECLARE
CURSOR cur_test4 IS
SELECT *
FROM test4
FOR UPDATE ;
CURSOR cur_test5 IS
SELECT * FROM test5;
r_test5 cur_test5%ROWTYPE;
BEGIN
OPEN cur_test5;
FOR r_test4 IN cur_test4 LOOP
FETCH cur_test5 INTO r_test5;
IF cur_test5%NOTFOUND THEN
EXIT;
END IF;
UPDATE test4
SET colb = r_test5.colc
WHERE CURRENT OF cur_test4;
END LOOP;
CLOSE cur_test5;
END;
