I would like to know if my SQL insert code is OK.
Here is my table :
-- Create table
Create table FNS_CHAMP_DEV
(
IDAUTO Integer not null generated always as identity ( start with
0, increment by 1, no cache) primary key,
BB_COL BLOB,
CB_COL CLOB
);
Is my syntax SQL below correct to insert a PDF file in BLOB Column ?
-- SQL insert request :
SELECT IDAUTO AS Last_ID from final table (Insert into FNS_CHAMP_DEV (
BB_COL ) Values(blob('C:\DOC_TECHNIQUE_WD\TEC_VISUAL_STUDIO\WPF_VISUAL_STUDIO.pdf')));
Thanks

I have a table with this script:
CREATE TABLE PRSNL_IMG
(
PER_IMG LONG RAW,
NATIONAL_COD NUMBER
);
Now I want to retrieve and write the BLOB ( PER_IMG type: LONG RAW ) into a file with name "NATIONAL_COD" on path on hard sush as "D:\Photo_OUT\" from the database with name .My table have 82000 records.I have work with form6i and my database version is oracle 11g.
please help me.
You can create a table with BLOB like this
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE foo (
b BLOB);
INSERT INTO foo VALUES ('1f8b080087cdc1520003f348cdc9c9d75128cf2fca49d1e30200d7bbcdfc0e000000');
and just select it
SELECT b FROM foo;
-- (BLOB)
SELECT UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_RAW(UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2(b))
FROM foo;
-- 1F8B080087CDC1520003F348CDC9C9D75128CF2FCA49D1E30200D7BBCDFC0E000000
If the content is not too large, you can also use
SELECT CAST ( <blobfield> AS RAW( <maxFieldLength> ) ) FROM <table>;
i am designing a database in oracle 11g. I have designed a table with fields,
CUST_ID, NUMBER(5) //this is a foreign key
Review, BLOB //to store big strings
Date, SYSDATE
now when i'm trying to insert data in the table like-
insert into "ReviewTable" values ( 3, 'hello, this is the first review',SYSDATE)
it gives [Err] ORA-01465: invalid hex number.
If someone can help me with the error?
you cast your string into BLOB, you can do this via package utl_raw.cast_to_raw or convert varchar to clob via to_clob('mystring') and then use procedure DBMS_LOB.convertToBlob in your code
but if you are going to use the fields for string why don`t save them as a CLOB?
Here are 2 examples below with BLOB and CLOB fields
BLOB
create table ReviewTable( CUST_ID NUMBER(5)
,Review BLOB
,Dt Date);
insert into ReviewTable values ( 3, utl_raw.cast_to_raw('hello, this is the first review'),SYSDATE);
CLOB
create table ReviewTable2( CUST_ID NUMBER(5)
,Review CLOB
,Dt Date);
insert into ReviewTable2 values ( 3, 'hello, this is the first review',SYSDATE);
When I ran the alter query, I get error saying that column to be modified must me empty.
Table : Monthly_Result (Id Number(38,0), dealer_ID varchar2, sales_revenue Number(38,2))
dealer_Id should be changed to Number(38,0)
Please help
As Alex mentioned in his comment you will need to add new column; update it and check values were converted correctly; then drop the old column when you're ready.
-- step 1
alter table monthly_result add tmp number(38, 0);
update monthly_result set tmp = to_number(dealer_id);
-- step 2
-- check values are set correctly in tmp
-- step 3
alter table monthly_result rename column dealer_id to dealer_id_old;
alter table monthly_result rename column tmp to dealer_id;
-- step 4
alter table monthly_result drop column dealer_id_old;
Please try this it would be help the update add column things you will loss your primary key and position of the table:
--COPY THE DATA TO TEMPORARY TABLE
CREATE TABLE _TMP AS SELECT * FROM ;
--TRUNCATE OLD DATA
TRUNCATE TABLE ;
--ALTER SPECIFIC COLUMN TYPE
alter table MODIFY number(38, 0);
--BRING THE DATA FROM WHICH COPY PREVIOUS TEMPORARY TABLE
INSERT INTO SELECT * FROM _TMP;
--CHECK YOUR DATA
SELECT * FROM ;
--DROP YOUR TEMPORARY TABLE
DROP TABLE _TMP;
I believe it will work for you.
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.
I create a table in Oracle 11g with the default value for one of the columns. Syntax is:
create table xyz(emp number,ename varchar2(100),salary number default 0);
This created successfully. For some reasons I need to create another table with same old table structure and data. So I created a new table with name abc as
create table abc as select * from xyz.
Here "abc" created successfully with same structure and data as old table xyz. But for the column "salary" in old table "xyz" default value was set to "0". But in the newly created table "abc" the default value is not set.
This is all in Oracle 11g. Please tell me the reason why the default value was not set and how we can set this using select statement.
You can specify the constraints and defaults in a CREATE TABLE AS SELECT, but the syntax is as follows
create table t1 (id number default 1 not null);
insert into t1 (id) values (2);
create table t2 (id default 1 not null)
as select * from t1;
That is, it won't inherit the constraints from the source table/select. Only the data type (length/precision/scale) is determined by the select.
The reason is that CTAS (Create table as select) does not copy any metadata from the source to the target table, namely
no primary key
no foreign keys
no grants
no indexes
...
To achieve what you want, I'd either
use dbms_metadata.get_ddl to get the complete table structure, replace the table name with the new name, execute this statement, and do an INSERT afterward to copy the data
or keep using CTAS, extract the not null constraints for the source table from user_constraints and add them to the target table afterwards
You will need to alter table abc modify (salary default 0);
new table inherits only "not null" constraint and no other constraint.
Thus you can alter the table after creating it with "create table as" command
or you can define all constraint that you need by following the
create table t1 (id number default 1 not null);
insert into t1 (id) values (2);
create table t2 as select * from t1;
This will create table t2 with not null constraint.
But for some other constraint except "not null" you should use the following syntax
create table t1 (id number default 1 unique);
insert into t1 (id) values (2);
create table t2 (id default 1 unique)
as select * from t1;
