I tried looking for a similar example to my problem but could not reproduce the solution to my success.
I have 2 tables, Controller and Actions.
The Actions table has the columns Step, Script, Description, Wait_Until and Ref_Code.
The Controller table can only be joined on the Action table by the Ref_Code.
The Action table cannot have a PK because for each Ref_Code there is a Step to be taken.
Im getting an error when trying to update the Controller table using a merge statement:
ORA-30926: unable to get a stable set of rows in the source tables
My merge statement is as follows:
MERGE INTO DSTETL.SHB_FTPS_CONTROLLER ftpsc
USING (SELECT DISTINCT FTPSC.SESSION_ID,
FTPSC.ORDER_DATE,
sa.step,
sa.next_step,
LAST_ACTION_TMSTMP,
SA.ACTION_SCRIPT,
sa.ref_code,
SA.WAIT_UNTIL
FROM DSTETL.SHB_FTPS_CONTROLLER ftpsc, DSTETL.SHB_ACTIONS sa
WHERE SA.REF_CODE = FTPSC.REF_CODE
AND SA.STEP > ftpsc.curr_step
AND sa.step = ftpsc.next_step) v1
ON (v1.REF_CODE = FTPSC.REF_CODE)
WHEN MATCHED
THEN
UPDATE SET FTPSC.LAST_ACTION_TMSTMP = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
ftpsc.next_step = v1.next_step,
ftpsc.curr_step = v1.STEP,
ftpsc.action_script = v1.action_script
WHERE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP >= v1.LAST_ACTION_TMSTMP + v1.WAIT_UNTIL;
COMMIT;
I tried doing this using a normal update as well but Im getting ORA-01732: data manipulation operation not legal on this view.
UPDATE (SELECT FTPSC.SESSION_ID,
FTPSC.ORDER_DATE,
FTPSC.CURR_STEP,
FTPSC.NEXT_STEP,
FTPSC.ACTION_SCRIPT,
sa.step, --New Step
sa.next_step AS "NNS", --New Next Step
FTPSC.LAST_ACTION_TMSTMP,
SA.ACTION_SCRIPT AS "NAS", --New action script
sa.ref_code,
SA.WAIT_UNTIL
FROM DSTETL.SHB_FTPS_CONTROLLER ftpsc
LEFT JOIN
DSTETL.SHB_ACTIONS sa
ON SA.REF_CODE = FTPSC.REF_CODE
AND SA.STEP > ftpsc.curr_step
AND sa.step = ftpsc.next_step) t
SET t.curr_step = t.step,
t.LAST_ACTION_TMSTMP = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
t.next_step = t."NNS",
t.action_script = t."NAS";
COMMIT;
Any advice would be appreciated, I already understand this is because the Action table has multiple Ref_Codes but REF_CODE||STEP is unique. And the output of:
SELECT DISTINCT FTPSC.SESSION_ID,
FTPSC.ORDER_DATE,
sa.step,
sa.next_step,
LAST_ACTION_TMSTMP,
SA.ACTION_SCRIPT,
sa.ref_code,
SA.WAIT_UNTIL
FROM DSTETL.SHB_FTPS_CONTROLLER ftpsc, DSTETL.SHB_ACTIONS sa
WHERE SA.REF_CODE = FTPSC.REF_CODE
AND SA.STEP > ftpsc.curr_step
AND sa.step = ftpsc.next_step;
Is how I want the Controller table to be updated like.
Thanks in advance.
It sounds like what you want to do is: update each row in the Controller table with the matching "next step" details from the Actions table. But your Merge statement is querying the Controller table twice, which confuses things.
Is this what you're trying to do?
MERGE INTO DSTETL.SHB_FTPS_CONTROLLER ftpsc
USING (SELECT
step,
next_step,
ACTION_SCRIPT,
ref_code,
WAIT_UNTIL
FROM DSTETL.SHB_ACTIONS
) sa
ON (sa.REF_CODE = FTPSC.REF_CODE)
WHEN MATCHED
THEN
UPDATE SET FTPSC.LAST_ACTION_TMSTMP = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,
ftpsc.next_step = sa.next_step,
ftpsc.curr_step = sa.STEP,
ftpsc.action_script = sa.action_script
WHERE CURRENT_TIMESTAMP >= ftpsc.LAST_ACTION_TMSTMP + sa.WAIT_UNTIL
AND SA.STEP > ftpsc.curr_step
AND sa.step = ftpsc.next_step;
EDIT: updated query
EDIT2: So, in your original query, in the USING section you were selecting the rows in the Controller table that you wanted to update... but you never joined those rows to the Controller table from the MERGE INTO section to match them up. Having the same alias "ftpsc" just made it less clear that they're two separate objects in the query, and which one you wanted to update.
Honestly I don't really understand why Oracle won't let you update columns that appear in the USING..ON clause. It apparently works fine in SQL Server.

I want to update the column with some details. But I am getting this error:
An attempt was made to insert or update columns of a join view which map to a non-key-preserved table.
Here is my query:
UPDATE
(
SELECT a.SPAN_LINK_ID, a.SPAN_TYPE, a.NE_LENGTH as OLD, b.MAINT_ZONE_NE_SPAN_LENGTH as NEW
FROM app_fiberinv.tbl_fiber_inv_cmpapproved_info a
INNER JOIN app_fiberinv.tbl_fiber_inv_jobs b
ON a.SPAN_LINK_ID = b.LINK_ID
WHERE a.SPAN_LINK_ID IN ('DLHI_5202','TCPP_6004')) t
SET t.OLD = t.NEW;
How can I fix this?
What if you skip the join view and use e.g. merge?
MERGE INTO tbl_fiber_inv_cmpapproved_info a
USING tbl_fiber_inv_jobs b
ON (a.span_link_id = b.span_link_id)
WHEN MATCHED
THEN
UPDATE SET a.ne_length = b.maint_zone_ne_span_length
WHERE a.span_link_id IN ('DLHI_5202', 'TCPP_6004');
This question has been posted several times but I am not able to get it work. I tried the approach mentioned in Update column to the COUNT of rows for specific values in another column. SQL Server. It gives me SQLException: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row error not sure what I can do.
Below is my problem
UPDATE dataTable
SET ACCX = (select b.cnt
from dataTable a
join
(SELECT Account,
COUNT(1) cnt
FROM dataTable
GROUP BY Account) b
on a.Account=b.Account)
,ACCR = 15481
,ACCF = 3
WHERE ID = 1625
I only have the access & can change to the bold part since rest of the query is generated by the tool I cannot change it & I have to update ACCX column with the count of the value in column Account. Is it possible to do?
Note: - Account column is already populated with values.
You cannot follow that query because it is for sqlserver and NOT oracle. It is simpler in oracle and does not need a join to itself.
This update will set the count for id 1625 only based on number of account numbers in datatable. See demo here;
http://sqlfiddle.com/#!4/d154c/1
update dataTable a
set ACCR = 15481,
ACCF = 3,
a.ACCX = (
select COUNT(*)
from dataTable b
where b.Account=a.Account)
WHERE a.ID = 1625;
I need to update one column in table A with the result of a multiplication of one field from table A with one field from table B.
It would be pretty simple to do this in T-SQL, but I can't write the correct syntax in Oracle.
What I've tried:
UPDATE TABLE_A
SET TABLE_A.COLUMN_TO_UPDATE =
(select TABLE_A.COLUMN_WITH_SOME_VALUE * TABLE_B.COLUMN_WITH_PERCENTAGE
from TABLE_A
INNER JOIN TABLE_B
ON TABLE_A.PRODUCT_ID = TABLE_B.PRODUCT_ID
AND TABLE_A.SALES_CHANNEL_ID = TABLE_B.SALES_CHANNEL_ID)
WHERE TABLE_A.MONTH_ID IN (201601, 201602, 201603);
But I keep getting errors. Could anybody help me, please?
I generally prefer to use the below format for such cases since this will ensure there's no update performed if there's no data in the table(query extracted temp table) whereas in the above solution provided by Brian Leach will update the new value as null if there's no record present in the 2nd table but exists in the first table.
UPDATE
(
select TABLE_A.COLUMN_TO_UPDATE
, TABLE_A.PRODUCT_ID
, TABLE_A.COLUMN_WITH_SOME_VALUE * TABLE_B.COLUMN_WITH_PERCENTAGE as value
from TABLE_A
INNER JOIN TABLE_B
ON TABLE_A.PRODUCT_ID = TABLE_B.PRODUCT_ID
AND TABLE_A.SALES_CHANNEL_ID = TABLE_B.SALES_CHANNEL_ID
AND TABLE_A.MONTH_ID IN (201601, 201602, 201603)
) DATA
SET DATA.COLUMN_TO_UPDATE = DATA.value;
This solution can cause key preserved value issues which shouldn't be an issue here since i expect a single row in both the tables for one product(ID).

#Jayesh Mulwani raiesed a valid point, this will set the value to null if there is no matching record. This may or may not be the desired result. If it isn't, and no change is desirect, you can change the select statement to:
coalesce((SELECT table_b.column_with_percentage
FROM table_b
WHERE table_a.product_id = table_b.product_id AND table_a.sales_channel_id = table_b.sales_channel_id),1)
If this is the desired outcome, Jayesh's solution will be more efficient as it will only update matching records.
UPDATE table_a
SET table_a.column_to_update = table_a.column_with_some_value
* (SELECT table_b.column_with_percentage
FROM table_b
WHERE table_a.product_id = table_b.product_id
AND table_a.sales_channel_id = table_b.sales_channel_id)
WHERE table_a.month_id IN (201601, 201602, 201603);
I need to update a column in one table with the results from a select sub-query (and they should ultimately be different). But When I do this, I get the 'ORA-01427: single row sub-query returns more than one row query' error.
Can you please take a look and see what it is that I am overlooking? (I could just be overlooking something simple for all I know)
UPDATE AIRMODEL_NETWORK_SUMMARY ans
SET ANS.NBR_RETURNS = (
SELECT SUM(RQ.RETURN_QTY)
FROM RETURN_QTY RQ JOIN AIRMODEL_NETWORK_SUMMARY ANS ON RQ.LOC_ID = ANS.LOC_ID
WHERE RQ.FSCL_YR_NUM = ans.FSCL_YR_NUM
AND RQ.FSCL_WK_IN_YR_NUM =
ans.FSCL_WK_IN_YR_NUM
GROUP BY ANS.LOC_ID,
ans.FSCL_WK_IN_YR_NUM,
ANS.FSCL_YR_NUM
);
I think that your inner query is not well correlated to the table that you're trying to update. Please look here Oracle SQL: Update a table with data from another table. You should add some kind of a where condition that ties the rows you're trying to update with the values calculated by the inner statement.
How can I solve this error:
ORA-017779 : cannot modify a column which maps to non key-preserved table.
My Code:
UPDATE (SELECT SOBS034.T1 as OLD, SOBS063.T1 as NEW
FROM SOBS034
INNER JOIN SOBS063 ON SOBS034.ID = SOBS063.ID
where SOBS034.ID='111000' AND SOBS063.T2='' ) t
SET t.OLD =t.NEW
To update a JOIN, Oracle needs to be absolutely sure that for each row of the table you are trying to update, there will be at most one row of the joined table.
Here you'll be able to update the join if and only if SOBS063.ID is unique (explicitely declared by a unique constraint/pk).
If somehow SOBS063.ID is unique for this record with your join condition but is not declared as such, you won't be able to use this method. You could however transform this DML into an equivalent MERGE, something like this:
MERGE INTO SOBS034 a
USING SOBS063 b
ON (a.id = b.id AND a.ID='111000' AND b.T2 IS NULL)
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET a.t1 = b.t1;
By the way SOBS063.T2='' is never true in Oracle right now.
Try to create a unique index on SOBS034 (ID) and SOBS063 (ID).
