We are migrating applications from Apex4.2 to Apex19.1 and used Temp table (wwv_flow_files) in our one page to upload spreadsheet and then perform PLSQL process on the page. But as wwv_flow_files is now deprecated and we have to use APEX_APPLICATION_TEMP_FILES temp table but unfortunately the fields that we used don't exit in new Temp table in Apex19.1
select blob_content into v_blob_data from wwv_flow_files where last_updated = (select max(last_updated) from wwv_flow_files where upper(UPDATED_BY) = upper(:APP_USER)) and id = (select max(id) from wwv_flow_files where upper(updated_by) = upper(:APP_USER));
Little brief about PLSQL process: Above PLSQL is part of one block where Spreadsheet will be uploaded and then on multiple validations it gets values into Physical table of Oracle.
We are performing migration and have to make sure will minimal effort functionality should work as is.
Please help. Thanks in advance.
In the where clause you only need the column "name" from apex_application_temp_files!
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/appdev.112/e11945/up_dn_files.htm#CIHDDJGF
Example:
IF ( :P1_FILE_NAME is not null ) THEN
INSERT INTO oehr_file_subject(id,NAME, SUBJECT, BLOB_CONTENT, MIME_TYPE)
SELECT ID,:P1_FILE_NAME,:P1_SUBJECT,blob_content,mime_type
FROM APEX_APPLICATION_TEMP_FILES
WHERE name = :P1_FILE_NAME;
END IF;
I have a database with account numbers and card numbers. I match these to a file to update any card numbers to the account number so that I am only working with account numbers.
I created a view linking the table to the account/card database to return the Table ID and the related account number, and now I need to update those records where the ID matches the Account Number.
This is the Sales_Import table, where the account number field needs to be updated:
LeadID
AccountNumber
147
5807811235
150
5807811326
185
7006100100007267039
And this is the RetrieveAccountNumber table, where I need to update from:
LeadID
AccountNumber
147
7006100100007266957
150
7006100100007267039
I tried the below, but no luck so far:
UPDATE [Sales_Lead].[dbo].[Sales_Import]
SET [AccountNumber] = (SELECT RetrieveAccountNumber.AccountNumber
FROM RetrieveAccountNumber
WHERE [Sales_Lead].[dbo].[Sales_Import]. LeadID =
RetrieveAccountNumber.LeadID)
It updates the card numbers to account numbers, but the account numbers get replaced by NULL
I believe an UPDATE FROM with a JOIN will help:
MS SQL
UPDATE
Sales_Import
SET
Sales_Import.AccountNumber = RAN.AccountNumber
FROM
Sales_Import SI
INNER JOIN
RetrieveAccountNumber RAN
ON
SI.LeadID = RAN.LeadID;
MySQL and MariaDB
UPDATE
Sales_Import SI,
RetrieveAccountNumber RAN
SET
SI.AccountNumber = RAN.AccountNumber
WHERE
SI.LeadID = RAN.LeadID;
The simple Way to copy the content from one table to other is as follow:
UPDATE table2
SET table2.col1 = table1.col1,
table2.col2 = table1.col2,
...
FROM table1, table2
WHERE table1.memberid = table2.memberid
You can also add the condition to get the particular data copied.
For SQL Server 2008 + Using MERGE rather than the proprietary UPDATE ... FROM syntax has some appeal.
As well as being standard SQL and thus more portable it also will raise an error in the event of there being multiple joined rows on the source side (and thus multiple possible different values to use in the update) rather than having the final result be undeterministic.
MERGE INTO Sales_Import
USING RetrieveAccountNumber
ON Sales_Import.LeadID = RetrieveAccountNumber.LeadID
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE
SET AccountNumber = RetrieveAccountNumber.AccountNumber;
Unfortunately the choice of which to use may not come down purely to preferred style however. The implementation of MERGE in SQL Server has been afflicted with various bugs. Aaron Bertrand has compiled a list of the reported ones here.
Generic answer for future developers.
SQL Server
UPDATE
t1
SET
t1.column = t2.column
FROM
Table1 t1
INNER JOIN Table2 t2
ON t1.id = t2.id;
Oracle (and SQL Server)
UPDATE
t1
SET
t1.colmun = t2.column
FROM
Table1 t1,
Table2 t2
WHERE
t1.ID = t2.ID;
MySQL
UPDATE
Table1 t1,
Table2 t2
SET
t1.column = t2.column
WHERE
t1.ID = t2.ID;
For PostgreSQL:
UPDATE Sales_Import SI
SET AccountNumber = RAN.AccountNumber
FROM RetrieveAccountNumber RAN
WHERE RAN.LeadID = SI.LeadID;
Seems you are using MSSQL, then, if I remember correctly, it is done like this:
UPDATE [Sales_Lead].[dbo].[Sales_Import] SET [AccountNumber] =
RetrieveAccountNumber.AccountNumber
FROM RetrieveAccountNumber
WHERE [Sales_Lead].[dbo].[Sales_Import].LeadID = RetrieveAccountNumber.LeadID
I had the same problem with foo.new being set to null for rows of foo that had no matching key in bar. I did something like this in Oracle:
update foo
set foo.new = (select bar.new
from bar
where foo.key = bar.key)
where exists (select 1
from bar
where foo.key = bar.key)
Here's what worked for me in SQL Server:
UPDATE [AspNetUsers] SET
[AspNetUsers].[OrganizationId] = [UserProfile].[OrganizationId],
[AspNetUsers].[Name] = [UserProfile].[Name]
FROM [AspNetUsers], [UserProfile]
WHERE [AspNetUsers].[Id] = [UserProfile].[Id];
For MySql that works fine:
UPDATE
Sales_Import SI,RetrieveAccountNumber RAN
SET
SI.AccountNumber = RAN.AccountNumber
WHERE
SI.LeadID = RAN.LeadID
Thanks for the responses. I found a solution tho.
UPDATE Sales_Import
SET AccountNumber = (SELECT RetrieveAccountNumber.AccountNumber
FROM RetrieveAccountNumber
WHERE Sales_Import.leadid =RetrieveAccountNumber.LeadID)
WHERE Sales_Import.leadid = (SELECT RetrieveAccountNumber.LeadID
FROM RetrieveAccountNumber
WHERE Sales_Import.leadid = RetrieveAccountNumber.LeadID)
In case the tables are in a different databases. (MSSQL)
update database1..Ciudad
set CiudadDistrito=c2.CiudadDistrito
FROM database1..Ciudad c1
inner join
database2..Ciudad c2 on c2.CiudadID=c1.CiudadID
Use the following block of query to update Table1 with Table2 based on ID:
UPDATE Sales_Import, RetrieveAccountNumber
SET Sales_Import.AccountNumber = RetrieveAccountNumber.AccountNumber
where Sales_Import.LeadID = RetrieveAccountNumber.LeadID;
This is the easiest way to tackle this problem.
MS Sql
UPDATE c4 SET Price=cp.Price*p.FactorRate FROM TableNamea_A c4
inner join TableNamea_B p on c4.Calcid=p.calcid
inner join TableNamea_A cp on c4.Calcid=cp.calcid
WHERE c4..Name='MyName';
Oracle 11g
MERGE INTO TableNamea_A u
using
(
SELECT c4.TableName_A_ID,(cp.Price*p.FactorRate) as CalcTot
FROM TableNamea_A c4
inner join TableNamea_B p on c4.Calcid=p.calcid
inner join TableNamea_A cp on c4.Calcid=cp.calcid
WHERE p.Name='MyName'
) rt
on (u.TableNamea_A_ID=rt.TableNamea_B_ID)
WHEN MATCHED THEN
Update set Price=CalcTot ;
update from one table to another table on id matched
UPDATE
TABLE1 t1,
TABLE2 t2
SET
t1.column_name = t2.column_name
WHERE
t1.id = t2.id;
The below SQL someone suggested, does NOT work in SQL Server. This syntax reminds me of my old school class:
UPDATE table2
SET table2.col1 = table1.col1,
table2.col2 = table1.col2,
...
FROM table1, table2
WHERE table1.memberid = table2.memberid
All other queries using NOT IN or NOT EXISTS are not recommended. NULLs show up because OP compares entire dataset with smaller subset, then of course there will be matching problem. This must be fixed by writing proper SQL with correct JOIN instead of dodging problem by using NOT IN. You might run into other problems by using NOT IN or NOT EXISTS in this case.
My vote for the top one, which is conventional way of updating a table based on another table by joining in SQL Server. Like I said, you cannot use two tables in same UPDATE statement in SQL Server unless you join them first.
This is the easiest and best have seen for Mysql and Maria DB
UPDATE table2, table1 SET table2.by_department = table1.department WHERE table1.id = table2.by_id
Note: If you encounter the following error based on your Mysql/Maria DB version "Error Code: 1175. You are using safe update mode and you tried to update a table without a WHERE that uses a KEY column To disable safe mode, toggle the option in Preferences"
Then run the code like this
SET SQL_SAFE_UPDATES=0;
UPDATE table2, table1 SET table2.by_department = table1.department WHERE table1.id = table2.by_id
it works with postgresql
UPDATE application
SET omts_received_date = (
SELECT
date_created
FROM
application_history
WHERE
application.id = application_history.application_id
AND application_history.application_status_id = 8
);
update within the same table:
DECLARE #TB1 TABLE
(
No Int
,Name NVarchar(50)
,linkNo int
)
DECLARE #TB2 TABLE
(
No Int
,Name NVarchar(50)
,linkNo int
)
INSERT INTO #TB1 VALUES(1,'changed person data', 0);
INSERT INTO #TB1 VALUES(2,'old linked data of person', 1);
INSERT INTO #TB2 SELECT * FROM #TB1 WHERE linkNo = 0
SELECT * FROM #TB1
SELECT * FROM #TB2
UPDATE #TB1
SET Name = T2.Name
FROM #TB1 T1
INNER JOIN #TB2 T2 ON T2.No = T1.linkNo
SELECT * FROM #TB1
I thought this is a simple example might someone get it easier,
DECLARE #TB1 TABLE
(
No Int
,Name NVarchar(50)
)
DECLARE #TB2 TABLE
(
No Int
,Name NVarchar(50)
)
INSERT INTO #TB1 VALUES(1,'asdf');
INSERT INTO #TB1 VALUES(2,'awerq');
INSERT INTO #TB2 VALUES(1,';oiup');
INSERT INTO #TB2 VALUES(2,'lkjhj');
SELECT * FROM #TB1
UPDATE #TB1 SET Name =S.Name
FROM #TB1 T
INNER JOIN #TB2 S
ON S.No = T.No
SELECT * FROM #TB1
try this :
UPDATE
Table_A
SET
Table_A.AccountNumber = Table_B.AccountNumber ,
FROM
dbo.Sales_Import AS Table_A
INNER JOIN dbo.RetrieveAccountNumber AS Table_B
ON Table_A.LeadID = Table_B.LeadID
WHERE
Table_A.LeadID = Table_B.LeadID
MYSQL (This is my preferred way for restoring all specific column reasonId values, based on primary key id equivalence)
UPDATE `site` AS destination
INNER JOIN `site_copy` AS backupOnTuesday
ON backupOnTuesday.`id` = destination.`id`
SET destdestination.`reasonId` = backupOnTuesday.`reasonId`
This will allow you to update a table based on the column value not being found in another table.
UPDATE table1 SET table1.column = 'some_new_val' WHERE table1.id IN (
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT table1.id
FROM table1
LEFT JOIN table2 ON ( table2.column = table1.column )
WHERE table1.column = 'some_expected_val'
AND table12.column IS NULL
) AS Xalias
)
This will update a table based on the column value being found in both tables.
UPDATE table1 SET table1.column = 'some_new_val' WHERE table1.id IN (
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT table1.id
FROM table1
JOIN table2 ON ( table2.column = table1.column )
WHERE table1.column = 'some_expected_val'
) AS Xalias
)
Summarizing the other answers, there're 4 variants of how to update target table using data from another table only when "match exists"
Query and sub-query:
update si
set si.AccountNumber = (
select ran.AccountNumber
from RetrieveAccountNumber ran
where si.LeadID = ran.LeadID
)
from Sales_Import si
where exists (select * from RetrieveAccountNumber ran where ran.LeadID = si.LeadID)
Inner join:
update si
set si.AccountNumber = ran.AccountNumber
from Sales_Import si inner join RetrieveAccountNumber ran on si.LeadID = ran.LeadID
Cross join:
update si
set si.AccountNumber = ran.AccountNumber
from Sales_Import si, RetrieveAccountNumber ran
where si.LeadID = ran.LeadID
Merge:
merge into Sales_Import si
using RetrieveAccountNumber ran on si.LeadID = ran.LeadID
when matched then update set si.accountnumber = ran.accountnumber;
All variants are more-less trivial and understandable, personally I prefer "inner join" option. But any of them could be used and developer has to select "better option" according to his/her needs
From performance perspective variants with join-s are more preferable:
Oracle 11g
merge into Sales_Import
using RetrieveAccountNumber
on (Sales_Import.LeadId = RetrieveAccountNumber.LeadId)
when matched then update set Sales_Import.AccountNumber = RetrieveAccountNumber.AccountNumber;
For Oracle SQL try using alias
UPDATE Sales_Lead.dbo.Sales_Import SI
SET SI.AccountNumber = (SELECT RAN.AccountNumber FROM RetrieveAccountNumber RAN WHERE RAN.LeadID = SI.LeadID);
I'd like to add one extra thing.
Don't update a value with the same value, it generates extra logging and unnecessary overhead.
See example below - it will only perform the update on 2 records despite linking on 3.
DROP TABLE #TMP1
DROP TABLE #TMP2
CREATE TABLE #TMP1(LeadID Int,AccountNumber NVarchar(50))
CREATE TABLE #TMP2(LeadID Int,AccountNumber NVarchar(50))
INSERT INTO #TMP1 VALUES
(147,'5807811235')
,(150,'5807811326')
,(185,'7006100100007267039');
INSERT INTO #TMP2 VALUES
(147,'7006100100007266957')
,(150,'7006100100007267039')
,(185,'7006100100007267039');
UPDATE A
SET A.AccountNumber = B.AccountNumber
FROM
#TMP1 A
INNER JOIN #TMP2 B
ON
A.LeadID = B.LeadID
WHERE
A.AccountNumber <> B.AccountNumber --DON'T OVERWRITE A VALUE WITH THE SAME VALUE
SELECT * FROM #TMP1
ORACLE
use
UPDATE suppliers
SET supplier_name = (SELECT customers.customer_name
FROM customers
WHERE customers.customer_id = suppliers.supplier_id)
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT customers.customer_name
FROM customers
WHERE customers.customer_id = suppliers.supplier_id);
update table1 dpm set col1 = dpu.col1 from table2 dpu where dpm.parameter_master_id = dpu.parameter_master_id;
If above answers not working for you try this
Update Sales_Import A left join RetrieveAccountNumber B on A.LeadID = B.LeadID
Set A.AccountNumber = B.AccountNumber
where A.LeadID = B.LeadID
