can't insert data into table - sql

I have created table using this command successfully
create table Person(
first_name varchar(25) not null,
last_name varchar(25) not null,
persoin_id number not null,
birth_date date,
country varchar (25),
salary number);
and now I want to insert data into that table
insert into Person(persoin_id,first_name,last_name,salary,birth_date,country)
values(100,'dato','datuashvili',350,to_date('01/01/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia');
values(101,'irakli','oqruashvili',350,to_date('01/03/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia');
first row is inserted,but problem is with second line
1 rows inserted.
Error starting at line 10 in command:
values(101,'irakli','oqruashvili',350,to_date('01/03/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia')
Error report:
Unknown Command
Please help me to determine what is problem?thanks

If you are on a RDBMS that supports multi-rows inserts in one INSERT:
insert into Person(persoin_id,first_name,last_name,salary,birth_date,country)
values
(100,'dato','datuashvili',350,to_date('01/01/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia') ,
--- comma here ---^
(101,'irakli','oqruashvili',350,to_date('01/03/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia') ;
^--- no "values" here
If not (like Oracle), you'll have to issue two insert statements:
insert into Person(persoin_id,first_name,last_name,salary,birth_date,country)
values
(100,'dato','datuashvili',350,to_date('01/01/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia') ;
--- as it was here ---^
insert into Person(persoin_id,first_name,last_name,salary,birth_date,country)
values
(101,'irakli','oqruashvili',350,to_date('01/03/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia') ;
or use this approach:
insert into Person(persoin_id,first_name,last_name,salary,birth_date,country)
select
(100,'dato','datuashvili',350,to_date('01/01/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia')
from dual
union all select
(101,'irakli','oqruashvili',350,to_date('01/03/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia')
from dual
;

You will need to use 2 insert statement instead of one for 2 different sets of data...
insert into Person(persoin_id,first_name,last_name,salary,birth_date,country)
values(100,'dato','datuashvili',350,to_date('01/01/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia');
insert into Person(persoin_id,first_name,last_name,salary,birth_date,country)
values(101,'irakli','oqruashvili',350,to_date('01/03/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia')

You have a ; at the end of:
values(100,'dato','datuashvili',350,to_date('01/01/10','DD/MM/YY'),'georgia');
^
change it to , and also loose the values from the next line. You need just one values per insert.

Not able to insert a row in a table which has auto incremented primary key

I have a table reportFilters which has the following column names:
The reportFilterId is auto increment. I want to insert a row in the table with the script below:
IF OBJECT_ID(N'ReportFilters', N'U') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM [ReportFilters]
WHERE ReportId IN (SELECT ReportId FROM [Reports] WHERE ReportType = 'Operational Insights Command Staff Dashboard') )
BEGIN
INSERT INTO [ReportFilters] Values(1, 'SelectView', 'Select Views', 13, 'Views','Views', 'SelectView', 'a', 'b', 'c' );
END
END
GO
But I am getting the following error:
Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.
Can I please get help on this ? Thanks in advance.
I think the problem is on inserted columns can't match with inserted data because that will instead by your table column order which is ReportFilterId instead of ReportId
So that there are 11 columns in your table but your statement only provides 10 columns.
I would use explicitly specify for inserted columns (inserted columns start from ReportId except your PK ReportFilterId column)
INSERT INTO [ReportFilters] (ReportId,ReportFilterName,ReportFilterTitle....)
Values (1, 'SelectView', 'Select Views', 13, 'Views','Views', 'SelectView', 'a', 'b', 'c' );

Create a procedure to insert multiple values into a table, using a single variable

Goal: To create a procedure to insert multiple values into a table, using a single variable.
Challenge: Instead of making multiple hits in the same table, I have created a single variable (#SQL) and stored multiple columns (fm_id and shdl_id ) results in it but I am unable to use this single variable in the insert statement.
Code:
create proc abc
(
#org_id numeric(10,0),
#shdl_id numeric(10,0),
#usr_id numeric(10,0),
#tst_id numeric(10,0)
)
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
DECLARE #SQL NUMERIC(10);
SET #SQL= (SELECT fm_id,#shdl_id FROM [dbo].[students] WHERE ORG_ID=#org_id AND shdl_id=#shdl_id AND TST_ID=#tst_id)
INSERT INTO [USER]
SELECT org_id,#usr_id,TST_ID,login_name,#SQL FROM [students] WHERE ORG_ID=#org_id AND shdl_id=#shdl_id AND TST_ID=#tst_id
END
GO
Error :
Msg 213, Level 16, State 1, Procedure abc, Line 14 [Batch Start Line
94] Column name or number of supplied values does not match table
definition.
First you need to make your SELECT return only one value into the variable. There's no point selecting #shdl_id because you already know it?
DECLARE #pFMID NUMERIC(10);
SELECT #pFMID = MAX(fm_id) FROM [dbo].[students] WHERE ORG_ID=#org_id AND shdl_id=#shdl_id AND TST_ID=#tst_id);
Then because you're not inserting a value into every column in the user table you need to explicitly state which columns to fill. Replace x1..x5 below with real column names (in the order the SELECT has them)
INSERT INTO [USER](x1,x2,x3,x4,x5)
-- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-- REPLACE THESE WITH REAL NAME
SELECT org_id,#usr_id,TST_ID,login_name,#pFMID FROM [students] WHERE ORG_ID=#org_id AND shdl_id=#shdl_id AND TST_ID=#tst_id
END
GO
And as Uueerdo pointed out, this first query is a bit of a waste of time, we can write this:
create proc abc
(
...
)
AS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO [USER](x1,x2,x3,x4,x5)
SELECT org_id,#usr_id,TST_ID,login_name,fm_id FROM [students] WHERE ORG_ID=#org_id AND shdl_id=#shdl_id AND TST_ID=#tst_id
-- ^^^^^
-- look!
You can only get away with leaving the column list off an INSERT if you're inserting the same number of columns the table has:
CREATE TABLE x(col1 INT, col2 INT);
INSERT INTO x VALUES (1,2) -- works
INSERT INTO x VALUES (1) -- fails: which column should have the 1?
INSERT INTO x(col1) VALUES (1) -- works: col1 shall have the 1

Oracle Live SQL not allowing multiple row insertion

Code below using sample data.
INSERT INTO ClientSeller VALUES
(1,'John Smith',88,1,'a',1),
(2,'Joe Smith',12,2,'b',2),
(3,'Warren ',15,2,'c',3),
(4,'Karen',69,6,'d',5),
(5,'Bob',45,6,'e',55),
(6,'Owen',65,6,'f',4),
(7,'Steve',25,5,'g',8),
(8,'Peter',24,55,'a',88),
(9,'Zoe',245,8,'b',8),
(10,'Jacky',244,2,'c',8);
and displays :
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
Can any explain why this does not execute?
Based on your example, I created the following table.
Create table ClientSeller (
identity number(2),
name varchar2(50),
employeno number(2),
otherno number(1),
letter char(1),
otherotherno number(1)
)
Then using the code below I can insert two of your sample rows into the table. Oracle has a very clunky syntax for inserting values into a table. You absolutely need the Insert All with separate INTO tablename VALUES xxxxx for each values set and then at the end you MUST add the select 1 from DUAL. See this example for more details.
Also, do not end your statements with the semicolon. In none of the example code provided here will you find such a character.
INSERT ALL
INTO ClientSeller VALUES (1,'John Smith',88,1,'a',1)
INTO ClientSeller VALUES (2,'Joe Smith',12,2,'b',2)
SELECT 1 from DUAL

How to to get the value of an auto increment column in postgres from a .sql script file?

In postgres I have two tables like so
CREATE TABLE foo (
pkey SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
name TEXT
);
CREATE TABLE bar (
pkey SERIAL PRIMARY KEY,
foo_fk INTEGER REFERENCES foo(pkey) NOT NULL,
other TEXT
);
What I want to do is to write a .sql script file that does the following
INSERT INTO foo(name) VALUES ('A') RETURNING pkey AS abc;
INSERT INTO bar(foo_fk,other) VALUES
(abc, 'other1'),
(abc, 'other2'),
(abc, 'other3');
which produces the error below in pgAdmin
Query result with 1 row discarded.
ERROR: column "abc" does not exist
LINE 3: (abc, 'other1'),
********** Error **********
ERROR: column "abc" does not exist
SQL state: 42703
Character: 122
Outside of a stored procedure how do a define a variable that I can use between statements? Is there some other syntax for being able to insert into bar with the pkey returned from the insert to foo.
You can combine the queries into one. Something like:
with foo_ins as (INSERT INTO foo(name)
VALUES ('A')
RETURNING pkey AS foo_id)
INSERT INTO bar(foo_fk,other)
SELECT foo_id, 'other1' FROM foo_ins
UNION ALL
SELECT foo_id, 'other2' FROM foo_ins
UNION ALL
SELECT foo_id, 'other3' FROM foo_ins;
Other option - use an anonymous PL/pgSQL block like:
DO $$
DECLARE foo_id INTEGER;
BEGIN
INSERT INTO foo(name)
VALUES ('A')
RETURNING pkey INTO foo_id;
INSERT INTO bar(foo_fk,other)
VALUES (foo_id, 'other1'),
(foo_id, 'other2'),
(foo_id, 'other3');
END$$;
You can use lastval() to ...
Return the value most recently returned by nextval in the current session.
This way you do not need to know the name of the seqence used.
INSERT INTO foo(name) VALUES ('A');
INSERT INTO bar(foo_fk,other) VALUES
(lastval(), 'other1')
, (lastval(), 'other2')
, (lastval(), 'other3')
;
This is safe because you control what you called last in your own session.
If you use a writable CTE as proposed by #Ihor, you can still use a short VALUES expression in the 2nd INSERT. Combine it with a CROSS JOIN (or append the CTE name after a comma (, ins) - same thing):
WITH ins AS (
INSERT INTO foo(name)
VALUES ('A')
RETURNING pkey
)
INSERT INTO bar(foo_fk, other)
SELECT ins.pkey, o.other
FROM (
VALUES
('other1'::text)
, ('other2')
, ('other3')
) o(other)
CROSS JOIN ins;
Another option is to use currval
INSERT INTO foo
(name)
VALUES
('A') ;
INSERT INTO bar
(foo_fk,other)
VALUES
(currval('foo_pkey_seq'), 'other1'),
(currval('foo_pkey_seq'), 'other2'),
(currval('foo_pkey_seq'), 'other3');
The automatically created sequence for serial columns is always named <table>_<column>_seq
Edit:
A more "robust" alternative is to use pg_get_serial_sequence as Igor pointed out.
INSERT INTO bar
(foo_fk,other)
VALUES
(currval(pg_get_serial_sequence('public.foo', 'pkey')), 'other1'),
(currval(pg_get_serial_sequence('public.foo', 'pkey')), 'other2'),
(currval(pg_get_serial_sequence('public.foo', 'pkey')), 'other3');

SQL Server 2012 sequence

I create a table and sequence in order to replace identity in the table I use SQL Server 2012 Express but I get this error while I tried to insert data to the table
Msg 11719, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
NEXT VALUE FOR function is not allowed in check constraints, default objects, computed columns,
views, user-defined functions, user-defined aggregates, user-defined
table types, sub-queries, common table expressions, or derived
tables.
T-SQL code:
insert into Job_Update_Log(log_id, update_reason, jobid)
values((select next value for Job_Log_Update_SEQ),'grammer fixing',39);
This is my table:
create table Job_Update_Log
(
log_id int primary key ,
update_reason nvarchar(100) ,
update_date date default getdate(),
jobid bigint not null,
foreign key(jobid) references jobslist(jobid)
);
and this is my sequence:
CREATE SEQUENCE [dbo].[Job_Log_Update_SEQ]
AS [int]
START WITH 1
INCREMENT BY 1
NO CACHE
GO
Just get rid of the subselect in the VALUES section, like this:
insert into Job_Update_Log(log_id,update_reason,jobid)
values (next value for Job_Log_Update_SEQ,'grammer fixing',39);
Reference: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh272694%28v=vs.103%29.aspx
Your insert syntax appears to be wrong. You are attempting to use a SELECT statement inside of the VALUES section of your query. If you want to use SELECT then you will use:
insert into Job_Update_Log(log_id,update_reason,jobid)
select next value for Job_Log_Update_SEQ,'grammer fixing',39;
See SQL Fiddle with Demo
I changed the syntax from INSERT INTO VALUES to INSERT INTO ... SELECT. I used this because you are selecting the next value of the sequence.
However, if you want to use the INSERT INTO.. VALUES, you will have to remove the SELECT from the query:
insert into Job_Update_Log(log_id,update_reason,jobid)
values(next value for Job_Log_Update_SEQ,'grammer fixing',39);
See SQL Fiddle with Demo
Both of these will INSERT the record into the table.
Try this one:
–With a table
create sequence idsequence
start with 1 increment by 3
create table Products_ext
(
id int,
Name varchar(50)
);
INSERT dbo.Products_ext (Id, Name)
VALUES (NEXT VALUE FOR dbo.idsequence, ‘ProductItem’);
select * from Products_ext;
/* If you run the above statement two types, you will get the following:-
1 ProductItem
4 ProductItem
*/
drop table Products_ext;
drop sequence idsequence;
