The issue here is simple as that, Postgresql doesn't allow the following query structure:
-- TABLE OF FACTS
CREATE TABLE facts_table (
id integer NOT NULL,
description CHARACTER VARYING(50),
amount NUMERIC(12,2) DEFAULT 0,
quantity INTEGER,
detail_1 CHARACTER VARYING(50),
detail_2 CHARACTER VARYING(50),
detail_3 CHARACTER VARYING(50),
time TIMESTAMP(0) WITHOUT TIME ZONE DEFAULT LOCALTIMESTAMP(0)
);
ALTER TABLE facts_table ADD PRIMARY KEY(id);
-- SUMMARIZED TABLE
CREATE TABLE table_cube (
id INTEGER,
description CHARACTER VARYING(50),
amount NUMERIC(12,2) DEFAULT 0,
quantity INTEGER,
time TIMESTAMP(0) WITHOUT TIME ZONE DEFAULT LOCALTIMESTAMP(0)
);
ALTER TABLE table_cube ADD PRIMARY KEY(id);
INSERT INTO table_cube(id, description, amount, quantity, time)
SELECT
id,
description,
SUM(amount) AS amount,
SUM(quantity) AS quantity,
time
FROM facts_table
GROUP BY CUBE(id, description, time);
----------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR: grouping sets are not allowed in INSERT SELECT queries.
I think it's pretty obvious that CUBE produces null results on every field indicated as a grouping set (as it computes every possible combination), therefore I can not insert that row in my table_cube table, so , does Postgres just assume, that I'm trying to insert a row in a table with a PK field? Even if the table_cube table doesn't have a PK, this cannot be accomplished.
Thanks.
Version: PostgreSQL 9.6
You have define table_cube(id) as Primary Key. So, If Cube contains null
values, it can't be inserted. I have checked without having id as Primary
Key, It works fine and when define id as primary key I got error:
"ERROR:id contains null values" SQL state: 23502
As suggested by Haleemur Ali,
"If a constraint is required, use a unique index with all the grouping
set columns: CREATE UNIQUE INDEX unq_table_cube_id_description_time ON
table_cube(id, description, time); Please update your question with more
information on database & version."
is a good option. But you have to remove Primary Key On "Id" and assign only Unique Key as suggested above as with having primary key and unique key again get this error:
ERROR: null value in column "id" violates not-null constraint
DETAIL: Failing row contains (null, null, 1300, 1522, null).
SQL state: 23502
So, the conclusion is, with unique index there is no need of Primary Key or with cube there is no need of unique index or Primary Key.

I am trying to create a fact table which will display the number of projects per consultant per year. It has 2 dimension tables 1 for time (report_time_dim) and the other for consultants(consultant_dim) then the main fact table (fact_table).
CREATE TABLE fact_table(
fact_key INTEGER NOT NULL,
consultant_key INTEGER NOT NULL,
time_key INTEGER NOT NULL,
no_of_projects_py INTEGER,
no_of_consultants_py INTEGER,
no_of_accounts_py INTEGER,
no_of_proj_per_con_py INTEGER,
fk1_time_key INTEGER NOT NULL,
fk2_consultant_key INTEGER NOT NULL,
-- Specify the PRIMARY KEY constraint for table "fact_table".
-- This indicates which attribute(s) uniquely identify each row of data.
CONSTRAINT pk_fact_table PRIMARY KEY (consultant_key,time_key)
);
CREATE TABLE report_time_dim(
time_key INTEGER NOT NULL,
year INTEGER,
-- Specify the PRIMARY KEY constraint for table "time_dim".
-- This indicates which attribute(s) uniquely identify each row of data.
CONSTRAINT pk_report_time_dim PRIMARY KEY (time_key)
);
CREATE TABLE consultant_dim(
consultant_key INTEGER NOT NULL,
project_id INTEGER,
consultant_id INTEGER,
-- Specify the PRIMARY KEY constraint for table "consultant_dim".
-- This indicates which attribute(s) uniquely identify each row of data.
CONSTRAINT pk_consultant_dim PRIMARY KEY (consultant_key)
);
Each table has it's own surrogate key and I have managed to populate the time and consultant tables successfully, however the issue I'm having is with the fact table. When I try to populate it I get the error ORA-00904: "NO_OF_PROJ_PER_CON_PY": invalid identifier. I am unsure how I can go about fixing this and populating the fact table so it will display the information I want. Any help would be appreciated.
--populate fact_table
--table that lists consultant ids, project ids and years
DROP TABLE temp_fact1;
CREATE TABLE temp_fact1 AS
SELECT project_id, fk2_consultant_id, to_number(to_char(lds_project.pj_actual_start_date, 'YYYY')) as which_year FROM lds_project;
--display table
SELECT * FROM temp_fact1;
--list that counts the number of projects for each consultant and specify the year
DROP TABLE temp_fact2;
CREATE TABLE temp_fact2 AS
SELECT which_year, fk2_consultant_id, COUNT(*) project_id FROM temp_fact1 GROUP by fk2_consultant_id, which_year;
--display table
SELECT * FROM temp_fact2;
--fact table surrogate key
DROP SEQUENCE fact_seq;
CREATE SEQUENCE fact_seq
START WITH 1
INCREMENT BY 1
MAXVALUE 1000000
MINVALUE 1
NOCACHE
NOCYCLE;
--load data
INSERT INTO fact_table (fact_key, consultant_key, time_key, no_of_proj_per_con_py)
SELECT fact_seq.nextval, consultant_key, report_time_dim.time_key, no_of_proj_per_con_py FROM temp_fact2, report_time_dim WHERE temp_fact2.which_year = report_time_dim.year;
Try just running this select by itself - it's the last line in your script.
SELECT fact_seq.nextval,
consultant_key,
report_time_dim.time_key,
no_of_proj_per_con_py
FROM temp_fact2, report_time_dim
WHERE temp_fact2.which_year = report_time_dim.year;
It doesn't look like either TEMP_FACT2 or REPORT_TIME_DIM has a column named no_of_proj_per_con_py. I'm not sure where you want to pull that data from, actually.
I am trying to make my calculation dynamic based on certain criteria as below, but when I try to send the fields dynamically in to my calculation logic, it fails with the error " Can't serialize transient record type":
Create table statement :
create table calculation_t(
Id serial,
product_id integer not null,
metric_id integer not null,
start_date date,
end_date date,
calculation_logic varchar(50),
insert_timestamp timestamp default current_timestamp,
CONSTRAINT calculation_pk PRIMARY KEY(Id),
CONSTRAINT calculation_pid_fk FOREIGN KEY(product_id) REFERENCES Product_T(Product_id),
CONSTRAINT calc_mid_fk FOREIGN KEY(metric_id) REFERENCES metric_T(metric_id)
);
Insert statement :
insert into calculation_t(product_id,metric_id,calculation_logic)
select a.product_id,b.metric_id,
(case when b.metric_id=2 then
('$1-$2') else
'$1/$2' end) calc
from product_t a,metric_t b
Select statement which throws the mentioned error :
select *,(1,2,calculation_logic) from calculation_t
Note : I am using Greenplum database.
Try to remove parenthesis form your query:
select *,1,2,calculation_logic from calculation_t
It worked for me.
Thanx,
I am trying to make a procedure that takes makes potential empty "received" fields use the current date. I made a sequence called Order_number_seq that populates the order number (Ono) column. I don't know how to link errors in the orders table to a entry in the Orders_errors table.
this is what i have so far:
CREATE PROCEDURE Add_Order
AS BEGIN
UPDATE Orders
CREATE Sequence Order_number_seq
Start with 1,
Increment by 1;
UPDATE Orders SET received = GETDATE WHERE received = null;
These are the tables I am working with:
Orders table
(
Ono Number Not Null,
Cno Number Not Null,
Eno Number Not Null,
Received Date Null,
Shipped_Date Date Null,
Creation_Date Date Not Null,
Created_By VARCHAR2(10) Not Null,
Last_Update_Date Date Not Null,
Last_Updated_By VARCHAR2(10) Not Null,
CONSTRAINT Ono_PK PRIMARY KEY (Ono),
CONSTRAINT Cno_FK FOREIGN KEY (Cno)
REFERENCES Customers_Proj2 (Cno)
);
and
Order_Errors table
(
Ono Number Not Null,
Transaction_Date Date Not Null,
Message VARCHAR(100) Not Null
);
Any help is appreciated, especially on linking the orders table errors to create a new entry in OrderErrors table.
Thanks in advance.
Contrary to Martin Drautzburg's answer, there is no foreign key for the order number on the Order_Errors table. There is an Ono column which appears to serve that purpose, but it is not a foreign as far as Oracle is concerned. To make it a foreign key, you need to add a constraint much like the Cno_FK on Orders. An example:
CREATE TABLE Order_Errors
(
Ono Number Not Null,
Transaction_Date Date Not Null,
Message VARCHAR(100) Not Null,
CONSTRAINT Order_Errors_Orders_FK FOREIGN KEY (Ono) REFERENCES Orders (Ono)
);
Or, if your Order_Errors table already exists and you don't want to drop it, you can use an ALTER TABLE statement:
ALTER TABLE Order_Errors
ADD CONSTRAINT Order_Errors_Orders_FK FOREIGN KEY (Ono) REFERENCES Orders (Ono)
;
As for the procedure, I'm inclined to say what you're trying to do does not lend itself well to a PROCEDURE. If your intention is that you want the row to use default values when inserted, a trigger is better suited for this purpose. (There is some performance hit to using a trigger, so that's a consideration.)
-- Create sequence to be used
CREATE SEQUENCE Order_Number_Sequence
START WITH 1
INCREMENT BY 1
/
-- Create trigger for insert
CREATE TRIGGER Orders_Insert_Trigger
BEFORE INSERT ON Orders
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
BEGIN
IF :NEW.Ono IS NULL
THEN
SELECT Order_Number_Sequence.NEXTVAL INTO :NEW.Ono FROM DUAL;
END IF;
IF :NEW.Received IS NULL
THEN
SELECT CURRENT_DATE INTO :NEW.O_Received FROM DUAL;
END IF;
END;
/
This trigger will then be executed on every single row inserted into the Orders table. It checks if the Ono column was NULL and replaces it with an ID from the sequence if so. (Be careful that you don't ever provide an ID that will later be generated by the sequence; it will get a primary key conflict error.) It then checks if the received date is NULL and sets it to the current date, using the CURRENT_DATE function (which I believe was one of the things you were trying to figure out), if so.
(Side note: Other databases may not require a trigger to do this and instead could use a default value. I believe PostgreSQL, for instance, allows the use of function calls in its DEFAULT clauses, and that is how its SERIAL auto-increment type is implemented.)
If you are merely trying to update existing data, I would think the UPDATE statements by themselves would suffice. Is there a reason this needs to be a PROCEDURE?
One other note. Order_Errors has no primary key. You probably want to have an auto-incrementating surrogate key column, or at least create an index on its Ono column if you only ever intend to select off that column.
There are a number of confusing things in your question:
(1) You are creating a sequence inside a procedure. Does this even compile?
(2) Your procedure does not have any parameters. It just updates the RECEIVED column of all rows.
(3) You are not telling us what you want in the MESSAGE column.
My impression is that you should first go "back to the books" before you ask questions here.
As for your original question
how to link errors in the orders table to a entry in the Orders_errors
table.
This is aleady (correctly) done. The Orders_error table contains an ONO foreign key which points to an order.
I'm creating a table with:
CREATE TABLE movies
(
id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
name CHAR(255) NOT NULL,
year INT NOT NULL,
inyear CHAR(10),
CONSTRAINT UNIQUE CLUSTERED (name, year, inyear)
);
(this is jdbc SQL)
Which creates a MySQL table with a clustered index, "index kind" is "unique", and spans the three clustered columns:
mysql screen http://img510.imageshack.us/img510/930/mysqlscreenshot.th.jpg
full size
However, once I dump my data (without exceptions thrown), I see that the uniqueness constraint has failed:
SELECT * FROM movies
WHERE name = 'Flawless' AND year = 2007 AND inyear IS NULL;
gives:
id, name, year, inyear
162169, 'Flawless', 2007, NULL
162170, 'Flawless', 2007, NULL
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?
MySQL does not consider NULL values as equal; hence, why the unique constraint appears to not be working. To get around this, you can add a computed column to the table which is defined as:
nullCatch as (case when inyear is null then '-1' else inyear)
Substitute this column in for 'inyear' in the constraint:
CONSTRAINT UNIQUE CLUSTERED (name, year, nullCatch)
I have only done databases without relations, but now I need to do something more serious and correct.
Here is my database design:
Kunde = Customer
Vare = Product
Ordre = Order (Read: I want to make an order)
VareGruppe = ehm..type? (Read: Car, chair, closet etc.)
VareOrdre = Product_Orders
Here is my SQL (SQLite) schema:
CREATE TABLE Post (
Postnr INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
Bynavn VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE Kunde (
CPR INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
Navn VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
Tlf INTEGER NOT NULL,
Adresse VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
Postnr INTEGER NOT NULL
CONSTRAINT fk_postnr_post REFERENCES Post(Postnr)
);
CREATE TABLE Varegruppe (
VGnr INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
Typenavn VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE Vare (
Vnr INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
Navn VARCHAR(50) NOT NULL,
Pris DEC NOT NULL,
Beholdning INTEGER NOT NULL,
VGnr INTEGER NOT NULL
CONSTRAINT fk_varegruppevgnr_vgnr REFERENCES Varegruppe(VGnr)
);
CREATE TABLE Ordre (
Onr INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
CPR INTEGER NOT NULL
CONSTRAINT fk_kundecpr_cpr REFERENCES Kunde(CPR),
Dato DATETIME NOT NULL,
SamletPris DEC NOT NULL
);
CREATE TABLE VareOrdre (
VareOrdreID INTEGER PRIMARY KEY,
Onr INTEGER NOT NULL
CONSTRAINT fk_ordrenr_onr REFERENCES Ordre(Onr),
Vnr INTEGER NOT NULL
CONSTRAINT fk_varevnr_vnr REFERENCES Vare(Vnr),
Antal INTEGER NOT NULL
);
It should work correctly.
But I am confused about Product_Orders.
How do I create an order? For example, 2 products using SQL INSERT INTO?
I can get nothing to work.
So far:
Only when I manually insert products and data into Product_Orders and then add that data to Orders = which makes it complete. Or the other way around (create an order in with 1 SQL, then manually inserting products into Product_orders - 1 SQL for each entry)
You should first create an order and then insert products in the table Product_Orders. This is necessary because you need an actual order with an id to associate it with the table Product_Orders.
You always should create a record in the foreign-key table before being able to create one in your current table. That way you should create a "Post", customer, type, product, order and product_order.
Try this ...
first you have to insert a customer
insert into kunde values(1, 'navn', 1, 'adresse', 1)
then you insert a type
insert into VareGruppe values(1, 'Type1')
then you insert a product
insert into vare values(1, 'product1', '10.0', 1, 1)
then you add an order
insert into ordre values(1, 1, '20090101', '10.0')
then you insert a register to the product_orders table
insert into VareOrdre values (1, 1, 1, 1)
I think this is it. :-)
As the primary keys are autoincrement, don't add them to the insert and specify the columns like this
insert into vare(Nav, Pris, Beholdning, VGnr) values('product1', '10.0', 1, 1)
Use Select ##identity to see the onr value
I think you already have the hang of what needs to happen. But what I think you are getting at is how to ensure data integrity.
This is where Transactions become important.

Is it the SalesPrice (I'm guessing that's what SamletPris means) that's causing the issue? I can see that being a problem here. One common design solution is to have 2 tables: Order and OrderLine. The Order is a header table - it will have the foreign key relationship to the Customer table, and any other 'top level' data. The OrderLine table has FK relationships to the Order table and to the Product table, along with quantity, unit price, etc. that are unique to an order's line item. Now, to get the sales price for an order, you sum the (unit price * quantity) of the OrderLine table for that order. Storing the SalesPrice for a whole order is likely to cause big issues down the line.
A note just in case this is MySQL: If you're using MyISAM, the MySQL server ignores the foreign keys completely. You have to set the engine to InnoDB if you want any kind of integrity actually enforced on the database end instead of just in your logic. This isn't your question but it is something to be aware of.
fbinder got the question right :)
