ORA-01461 with MERGE INTO statement and clob column - oracle

The query:
MERGE INTO app_role_data x USING (select ? name, ? xml FROM dual) d ON (x.app_name = d.name) WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET x.xml_blob = d.xml WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT(app_name, xml_blob) VALUES(d.name, d.xml)
The table:
create table app_role_data(app_name varchar2(64), xml_blob clob);
The result: When a row exists, we get ORA-01461.
The desired goal: This is a "create or replace" operation on a row in this table, effectively. If 'name' exists in the table, then the xml column should be updated, else a new row inserted.

I think this turns out to be solved by using the Spring JDBC LOB setting functionality documented at 11.7.2 of the Spring Framework documentation.
However, that isn't working either... but will be the subject of another question.

How to replace NULL values in one column to 0 (of a very large table) without creating a new column of the desired results added to the table in HIVE?

I am trying to replace all of the NULL values to 0 in a column of a big table in HIVE.
However, every time I try to implement some code I end up generating a new column to the table. The column I am trying to change/modify still exists and still has the NULL values but the new column that is automatically generated (i.e. _c1) is what I want the column I am trying to modify, to look like.
I tried to run a COALESCE but that also ended up generating a new column. I also tried to implement a CASE WHEN, but the same results ensued.
Select *,
CASE WHEN columnname IS NULL THEN 0
ELSE columnname
END
from tablename;
Also tried
SELECT coalesce(columnname, CAST(0 AS BIGINT)) FROM tablename
I would just like to update the table with the other columns being as is but the column I want to modify still has its original name but instead of NULL values it has 0's that replaced them.
I don't want to generate a new column but modify an existing one.
How should I do that?
Use insert overwrite .. option.
insert overwrite table tablename
select c1,c2,...,coalesce(columnname,0) as columnname
from tablename
Note that you have to specify all the other column names required in select.

Copying the data from the old table to the new table with only different new table has sequence

I need to create a new table from old one, need to insert the rows from the old one, only change is the new sequence column needs to be added in the new one.
Can someone please help me for the same?
INSERT INTO dps_session_map (TrackSESSION_SEQ,session_seq, column3)
   SELECT
        A.SEQ_Session.NEXTVAL, sm.session_seq, sm.column3
    FROM 
        dps_session_map  A,
        dps_exec_session_map sm
WHERE sm.session_seq is not null;
Remove the VALUES keyword and its brackets:
--general pattern of inserting from one table to another existing table
INSERT INTO table(columns)
SELECT columns FROM othertable
Column count and type must match (or be implicitly convertible)
If your new table doesn't exist, do:
CREATE TABLE x AS
(SELECT columns FROM othertable)
INSERT INTO dps_session_map (TrackSESSION_SEQ,session_seq, column3)
SELECT
**SCHEMA.**SEQ_Session.NEXTVAL, sm.session_seq, sm.column3
FROM
dps_session_map A,
dps_exec_session_map sm
WHERE sm.session_seq is not null;
Reference the sequence by its name or fully qualified schema.name. Sequences don't belong to table. Are you getting a "ORA-02289: sequence does not exist" error?

How to copy all constrains and data form one schema to another in oracle

I am using Toad for oracle 12c. I need to copy a table and data (40M) from one shcema to another (prod to test). However there is an unique key(not the PK for this table) called record_Id col which has something data like this 3.000*******19E15. About 2M rows has same numbers(I believe its because very large number) which are unique in prod. When I try to copy it violets the unique key of that col. I am using toad "export data to another schema" function to copy the data.
when I execute query in prod
select count(*) from table_name
OR
select count(distinct(record_id) from table_name
Both query gives the exact same numbers of data.
I don't have DBA permission. How do I copy all data without violating unique key of the table.
Thanks in advance!
You can use UPSERT for decisional INSERT or UPDATE or you may write small procedure for this.
you may consider to use NOT EXISTS, but your data is big and it might not be resource efficient.
insert into prod_tab
select * from other_tab t1 where NOT exists (
select 1 from prod_tab t2 where t1.id = t2.id
);
In Oracle you can use a MERGE query for that.
The following query proceeds as follows for each data row :
if the source record_id does not yet exist in the target table, a new record is inserted
else, the existing record is updated with source values
For the sake of the example, I assumed that there are two other columns in the table : column1 and column2.
MERGE INTO target_table t1
USING (SELECT * from source_table t2)
ON (t1.record_id = t2.record_id)
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET
t1.column1 = t2.column1,
t1.column2 = t2.column2
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT
(record_id, column1, column2) VALUES (t2.record_id, t2.column1, t2.column2)

Insert in Merge not working in Oracle

I am new to Oracle. I have a table in Oracle which has 4 columns Period, Open_Flag,Creation_Dt,Updated_By.
The Period column is the Primary key of the table. I have created a proc which will check the value of period from input parameter in the table, if its existing, the value of Open_flag has to be updated else a new record shall be inserted.
create or replace
PROCEDURE PROC_REF_SAP_PERIOD(
V_PERIOD IN NUMBER,V_OPEN_FLAG IN VARCHAR2,V_CREATION_DT IN DATE,V_UPDATED_BY IN VARCHAR2)
AS
BEGIN
MERGE INTO REF_SAP_PERIOD T
USING (SELECT * FROM REF_SAP_PERIOD WHERE PERIOD=V_PERIOD )S
ON (T.PERIOD=S.PERIOD )
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET OPEN_FLAG = V_OPEN_FLAG --WHERE PERIOD=V_PERIOD AND CREATION_DT=V_CREATION_DT AND UPDATED_BY=V_UPDATED_BY
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN INSERT (PERIOD,OPEN_FLAG,CREATION_DT,UPDATED_BY) VALUES (V_PERIOD,V_OPEN_FLAG,V_CREATION_DT,V_UPDATED_BY);
END;
The issue is that the Update is working well in this case, however, the insert is not working. Please help.
You are merging table with itself, filtered by period. Obviously, it will never see your non-existent values in itself.
Try this line instead of your USING line:
using (select V_PERIOD "period" from dual)S

SQL Server 2008 search for date

I need to search rows entered on a specific date.
However the datatype of column I need to search on is datetime, and the datatype of argument is Date.
I can use the the query like
Select result
from table
where
convert(date, Mycolumn) = #selectedDate
but this would affect the SARGability of the query and will not use indexes created on mycolumn.
I was trying to use the following query:
Select result
from table
where
Mycolumn
BETWEEN #selectedDate AND Dateadd(s, -1, Dateadd(D, 1, #selectedDate))
However this does not work since the #selectedDate is Date type and a second can't be added or removed.
Can someone help me with a working query?
Thanks.
It is my understanding that using:
convert(date, Mycolumn) = #selectedDate
is SARGable. It will use the index on Mycolumn (if one exists). This can easily be confirmed by using the execution plan.
Select result
from table
where
Mycolumn >= #selectedDate
AND Mycolumn < Dateadd(D, 1, #selectedDate)
If you need to do these searches a lot, you could add a computed, persisted column that does the conversion to DATE, put an index on it and then search on that column
ALTER TABLE dbo.YourTable
ADD DateOnly AS CAST(MyColumn AS DATE) PERSISTED
Since it's persisted, it's (re-)calculated only when the MyColumn value changes, e.g. it's not a "hidden" call to a stored function. Since it's persisted, it can also be indexed and used just like any other regular column:
CREATE NONCLUSTERED INDEX IX01_YourTable_DateOnly ON dbo.YourTable(DateOnly)
and then do:
SELECT result FROM dbo.YourTable WHERE DateOnly = #SelectedDate
Since that additional info is stored in the table, you'll be using a bit more storage - so you're doing the classic "space vs. speed" trade-off; you need a bit more space, but you get more speed out of it.
