I have created two objects T_PERSONS,T_BUSINESS_PERSON where T_BUSINESS PERSON is a subtype and T_PERSONS is a supertype.
---Creating T_PERSONS OBJECT---
CREATE OR REPLACE
TYPE T_PERSONS AS OBJECT
( id integer,
first_name varchar2(10),
last_name varchar2(10),
dob DATE,
phone varchar2(12),
address t_address,
) NOT FINAL;
---Creating T_BUSINESS_PERSON OBJECT---
CREATE TYPE t_business_person UNDER t_persons
(title varchar2(20),
company varchar2(20)
);
Now I created an object table object_customers
CREATE TABLE object_customers OF t_persons
INSERTING DATA INTO object_customers
INSERT INTO object_customers VALUES
(t_persons(1,'Jason','Bond','03-APR-1955','800-555-1211',
t_address('21 New Street','Anytown','CA','12345')
));
in this case,data has been inserted properly
INSERT INTO object_customers VALUES
(t_business_person(2,'Steve','Edwards','03-MAR-1955','800-555-1212',
t_address('1 Market Street','Anytown','VA','12345'),'Manager','XYZ Corp'
));
Now in this case an error has occured
Error-attribute or element value is larger than specified in type.
Please Help.
The second insertion will work only if you create the table as follows:
CREATE TABLE object_customers OF t_business_person;

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.

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.
I am a new learner of PL/SQL databases,A kind of exercise given to apply database on apex.oracle.com with given sequence.Then I have created tables but when it comes to fill tables with the insertion code as follows,Application has given error,Would you mind if I need your assistance
Thanks in Advance,
CREATE TYPE TEMPORAL_VARCHAR AS OBJECT (

VALID_TIME_UPPER_BOUND DATE,
VALUE_PART VARCHAR2(50)
);
CREATE TYPE TEMPORAL_NUMBER AS OBJECT (
VALID_TIME_LOWER_BOUND DATE,
VALID_TIME_UPPER_BOUND DATE,
VALUE_PART NUMBER );
Time-related attributeshave defined with the code as follows;
CREATE TYPE NAME_TYPE AS TABLE OF TEMPORAL_VARCHAR;
CREATE TYPE ADDRESS_TYPE AS TABLE OF TEMPORAL_VARCHAR;
CREATE TYPE DEPARTMENT_TYPE AS TABLE OF TEMPORAL_VARCHAR;
CREATE TYPE MANAGER_TYPE AS TABLE OF TEMPORAL_VARCHAR;
CREATE TYPE SALARY_TYPE AS TABLE OF TEMPORAL_NUMBER;
CREATE TABLE EMPLOYEE (

NESTED TABLE NAME STORE AS NAME_TABLE,
NESTED TABLE ADDRESS STORE AS ADDRESS_TABLE,
NESTED TABLE MANAGER STORE AS MANAGER_TABLE,
NESTED TABLE DEPARTMENT STORE AS DEPARTMENT_TABLE,
NESTED TABLE SALARY STORE AS SALARY_TABLE
;
And the insertion that I am inteded to do
INSERT INTO EMPLOYEE VALUES
(101,
NAME(TEMPORAL_VARCHAR('23.11.2005','12.31.9999','James Brown')),
ADDRESS(TEMPORAL_VARCHAR('23.11.2005','12.31.9999','BUCA, IZMIR')),

SALARY(TEMPORAL_NUMBER('23.11.2005',’12.31.9999’, 250000))
);
And the error message I recieved is :
ORA-00904: "SALARY": invalid identifier
There are spaces before _ here
CREATE TYPE MANAGER _TYPE AS TABLE OF TEMPORAL_VARCHAR;
CREATE TYPE SALARY _TYPE AS TABLE OF TEMPORAL_NUMBER;
DEPARTMENT DEPARTMENT _TYPE
A comma is missing after DEPARTMENT _TYPE
try this solution:
'alter session set NLS_DATE_FORMAT='DD.MM.YYYY';'

I have following object tables in oracle DB.
create type deposit_ty as object
(
depno number(6),
depcategory ref depcategory_ty,
amount number(6),
period number(2)
);
create type deposit_ntty as table of deposit_ty;
create type address_ty as object
(
homeno number,
street varchar(30),
city varchar(30)
);
create type customer_ty as object
(
cusid char(4),
custname varchar(40),
address address_ty,
dob DATE,
deposits deposit_ntty
);
can any one tell what is the difference between column address and deposits in customer_ty object table?
An object type/abstract data type/record is like a row or tuple: it contains an ordered set of attributes. To populate address you must set one and only one value for each of homeno, street, and city.
A nested table is like a table: it contains an unordered set of rows. Usually a nested table only contains a set of simple values, like a number. In your example, it is a set of object types. To populate deposits you can create any number of deposit_ty.
For example:
declare
customer customer_ty :=
customer_ty(
'ABC',
'Name',
address_ty('123', 'fake street', 'Springfield'),
sysdate,
deposit_ntty(
deposit_ty(1, null, 100, 1),
deposit_ty(2, null, 200, 2)
)
);
begin
null;
end;
Also, you probably want to use a VARCHAR2 instead of VARCHAR or CHAR. And if it's not too late, throw out all this object stuff and use tables like everyone else.
I have a series of tables and objects I have defined. I have an object nested table that I am trying to insert values into. The values are in the form of a variable array but I don't know how to insert them. my tables and code are as follows.
Table wu.classes
crn number(5)
department varchar2(8)
title carchar2(25)
Table wu.students
student_id char(11)
name varchar2(10)
dept varchar2(8)
advisor varchar(10)
classes wu.classes_va
wu.classes_va varray(5) of number (5)
create type classes_ty as object(crn varchar2(5),department varchar2(8), coursetitle varchar2(25)
create table classes_ot of classes_ty;
insert into classes_ot select crn,department,title from wu.classes;
create or replace type classes_ref_ty as table of ref classes_ty;
create table student_plus(student# varchar2(11),student_name varchar2(10),major varchar2(8), advisor (10), enrolled classes_ref_ty) nested table enrolled store as classes_ref_ty_tab;
Problem here (I need to loop through to fill the table but I just need to know how to do it for one values and i can figure the rest out):
begin
insert into student_plus values('700-123-948','Hooker','CS','VanScoy',classes_ref_ty();
insert into table(select enrolled from student_plus where student#='700-123-948')
select ref(c) from classes_ot c where ???
end;
/
I don't know how to access the variable array and use it with the classes_ref_ty.
