I have a table AreaUser like below.
area user
------------
area2 user1
area2 user2
area3 user1
(area,user) is a pk
I execute a query like below
update areatable
set user = 'user2'
where user = 'user1'
Primary key constraint error thrown for the first row update and the third row is not updated. How do i ignore the first row error and keep going with the updating the third row
or
how can i find if the (area,user) combination is already there in table just before updating that row.
Hope i stated the question clearly with this example. Thanks in advance for the help.
You need a NOT EXISTS, E.g.
Update AreaTable
Set User = 'user2'
Where User = 'user1'
And Not Exists (Select 1
From AreaTable CheckAreaTable
Where CheckAreaTable.Area = AreaTable.Area
And CheckAreaTable.User = 'user2')

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.
There are 2 tables:
Now I want to query the title of the author table for the same value as the barcode field in the holding table. Then? Add the value of Auth in author to callNo in holding .
This is what I wrote:
update holding h set
h.CALLNO = (select a.author
from AUTHOR a
where a.TITLE = h.BARCODE)
This statement is wrong, it transformed my column into null.
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 have a master (MD_TS_MAST) which contains
MAST_ID
ENG_ID
MS_DATE
Detail (MD_TS_DETAIL) table
ID
MD_ID (rel with MAST_ID)
JOB_FOR
JOB_TYPE_ID
ACCOUNT_ID
Below is SQL where it locates the "MD_TS_DETAIL IDs" by eng_id and date range.
this gets me the details of.
102038
102134
101970
102244
Then I just need to update the MD_TS_DETAIL table.
UPDATE MD_TS_DETAIL
SET JOB_FOR ='25',
JOB_TYPE_ID ='344',
ACCOUNT_ID ='8'
WHERE MD_TS_DETAIL.ID IN (
SELECT D.ID
FROM MD_TS_MAST M
LEFT JOIN MD_TS_DETAIL D ON M.MAST_ID = D.MD_ID WHERE ENG_ID = '621'
AND MS_DATE BETWEEN '02-OCT-14' AND '05-OCT-14';
)
This would be converted into a form. But my mind has gone blank on how to update this.
Looks like ive had too much coffee.
I added a semi_colon just before the closing bracket (oops). removed and worked fine
I have user with name, location, created_at as important fields in table.
I want to retrieve for each user the latest location,i.e, I want something like this:
username location created_at
abc New York 2012-08-18 16:18:57
xyz Mexico city 2012-08-18 16:18:57
abc Atlanta 2012-08-11 16:18:57
only input is UId(1,2) array of userids.please help me to accomplish this.I just want to know how to write query using active record query interface.
Generally, this should be a standard way to solve this kind of problems:
SELECT l1.user, l1.location
FROM locations l1
LEFT JOIN locations l2 ON l1.user = l2.user AND l2.created_at > l1.created_at
WHERE l2.id IS NULL
The idea is to join the table with itself, and find those rows which don't have any row with the same user and greater created_at.
Of course, you should have (user, created_at) index on your table.
Now you should see how would that be represented in AR interface.
When
u_id
is the array of user ids, then
u_id.map{|i| User.find(i).location}
should be an array of the users locations.
You can Use
User.where(:uid => [1,2,3]).maximum('location')
which will create something like
SELECT MAX(`users`.`location`) AS max_id FROM `users` WHERE `users`.`id` IN (1, 2,3)
