i am using UPDATE to update all records in the table with value from another table:
UPDATE x.ADR_TEMP SET LOCATIONID = (SELECT ID FROM x.OBJECTRELATIONSHIP WHERE PROPERTYCLASS = 'PHYSICALLOCATION')
in both tables are the same number of records. I just need to read id from one table and put them into another.
I have error: ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row
I am new in this subject and suspect that solution is very simple. Please help me
UPDATE x.ADR_TEMP SET LOCATIONID = (
SELECT ID
FROM x.OBJECTRELATIONSHIP
WHERE PROPERTYCLASS = 'PHYSICALLOCATION' AND x.ADR_TEMP.relatedKey = x.OBJECTRELATIONSHIP.relatedKey )
if your tables are related to each other with some way like this(relatedKey is a column which relates to the second table mentioned), you can try this one.(not sure or perfect)

Good evening everyone, I'm trying to do an update on a Table but I can't really make it work
The feature needed is:
-Watch a field on a form, it contains the number of people that need to sit at the restaurant table.
-Find the first free table that has enough seats, set it as busy and assign a random waiter
Any idea?
more db infos:
Table "Waiters" is composed by ID(Autonumber),Name(Short Text). Has 2 names atm
Table "Tables" is composed by ID(Autonumber),Seats(Number),Busy(y/n),Waiter(short text). All tables have a fixed number of seats and have no Waiter + not busy
SOLUTION:
In the end i used "First" for the assignment and it works perfectly as it follows:
UPDATE Tables SET Tables.Waiter = DLookUp("FirstName","TopWtr")
WHERE ID IN (SELECT FIRST (ID)
FROM Tables
WHERE Seats >= Val(Forms!Room!Text12) AND Waiter Is Null);
Top wasn't working because it was returning multiple records - every table with same number of seats - and couldn't make it work with DISTINCT. This works probably because the table is already ordered by seats
Thanks to June7 for the input
Cannot SET a field value to result of a SELECT subquery - SELECT returns a dataset not a single value. Can return a single value with domain aggregate function.
Build a query object named TopWtr:
SELECT Top 1 ID FROM Waiters ORDER BY Rnd(ID);
Then use DLookup to pull that value. The Busy field seems redundant because if table has a waiter assigned that would indicate busy.
UPDATE Tables SET Tables.Waiter = DLookUp("ID","TopWtr"), Tables.Busy = True
WHERE ID IN (SELECT TOP 1 ID FROM Tables
WHERE Seats >= Val(Forms!Room!Testo17) AND Waiter Is Null
ORDER BY Seats)
An INNER JOIN may be preferable to WHERE clause:
UPDATE Tables INNER JOIN (SELECT TOP 1 ID FROM Tables
WHERE Seats >= Val(Forms!Room!Testo17) AND Waiter Is Null
ORDER BY Seats) AS T1
ON Tables.ID = T1.ID
SET Tables.Waiter = DLookUp("ID","TopWtr"), Tables.Busy = True
I am trying to update a column called software_id with a possible three values from a lookup table. So update user softwares software id column with the values from the softwares table of the id column. But there are only three rows in the softwares table. In the user softwares table there are over 1000. But when I run the query below only three rows get updated and the rest are left as null.
So the softwares id column is number and goes 1,2,3 and the user_sofwares software_id column is all null.
When I run the following query.
UPDATE user_software c
SET sotware_id = (
SELECT DISTINCT id
FROM softwares
WHERE id = c.id
);
Only the first three rows of the destination table get updated. I want every row on the user_softwares column to be updated with either 1,2 or 3. So it should be 1,2,3,1,2,3 for example.
I keep getting this error whenever i tried to update all rows
Error report - ORA-01427: single-row subquery returns more than one row
You can do this with a MERGE statement:
MERGE INTO (SELECT software_id, 1, ora_hash(ROWID, 2) + 1 AS fake_id
FROM user_software) u_soft
USING (SELECT DISTINCT id
FROM softwares) sftw
ON (sftw.id = u_soft.fake_id)
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET u_soft.software_id = sftw.id;
(considering your matches are unique)
I have one table named: ORDERS
this table contains OrderNumber's which belong to the same person and same address lines for that person.
However sometimes the data is inconsistent;
as example looking at the table screenshot: Orders table with bad data to fix -
you all can noticed that orderNumber 1 has a name associated to and addresses line1-2-3-4. sometimes those are all different by some character or even null.
my goal is to update all those 3 lines with one set of data that is already there and set equally all the 3 rows.
to make more clear the result expected should be like this:
enter image description here
i am currently using a MERGE statement to avoid a CURSOR (for loop )
but i am having problems to make it work
here the SQL
MERGE INTO ORDERS O USING
(SELECT
INNER.ORDERNUMBER,
INNER.NAME,
INNER.LINE1,
INNER.LINE2,
INNER.LINE3,
INNER.LINE4
FROM ORDERS INNER
) TEMP
ON( O.ORDERNUMBER = TEMP.ORDERNUMBER )
WHEN MATCHED THEN
UPDATE
SET
O.NAME = TEMP.NAME,
O.LINE1 = TEMP.LINE1,
O.LINE2 = TEMP.LINE2,
O.LINE3 = TEMP.LINE3,
O.LINE4 = TEMP.LINE4;
the biggest issues i am facing is to pick a single row out of the 3 randomly - it does not matter whihc of the data - row i pick to update the line/s
as long i make the records exaclty the same for an order number.
i also used ROWNUM =1 but it in multip[le updates will only output one row and update maybe thousand of lines with the same address and name whihch belong to an order number.
order number is the join column to use ...
kind regards
A simple correlated subquery in an update statement should work:
update orders t1
set (t1.name, t1.line1, t1.line2, t1.line3, t1.line4) =
(select t2.name, t2.line1, t2.line2, t2.line3, t2.line4
from orders t2
where t2.OrderNumber = t1.OrderNumber
and rownum < 2)
It is a little bit tricky for me so I need your help :)
I want to update the column Relevant to 0 WHERE Contract_Status_Code is 10 OR the Date_Contract_start YEAR is the same AND the Ranking_Value is lower than the other one ON all records that have the same VIN.
So I want to compare all records which have the same VIN.
Few examples to illustrate it:
I have there two records with the VIN = 123456. One of them (ID = 6847) has a higher Ranking_Value (7) than the other one (3). The YEAR is the same as well so I want to update the column relevant to 0 where the ID is 8105.
Two records with the VIN = 654321. Both of them have the same Ranking_Value but the record with the id = 11012 has the value 10 for the column Contract_Status_Code so I want to update the relevant column to 0 where the ID = 11012.
The last two records... They have the VIN = 171819. The first one (ID = 11578) has the higher Ranking_Value. But they have a different year where the contract has started. So I don't want to update both.
It is also possible that there are three or four records with the same VIN.
I hope you understand my problem. I'm from Germany so sorry for my English :)
By considering your ID column as unique or Identity column, I can suggest you the below query for your solution:
With cte
As
(Select a.Id, a.VIN From Table a
Join (Select max(Ranking_Value) ranks,VIN From Table Group By VIN, Year(Date_Contract_start)) b
on a.VIN=b.VIN And a.Ranking_Value = b.ranks)
update table
set Relevant = 0
where (Contract_Status_Code = 10) Or
ID Not In (Select id from cte)
update table1
set Relevant = 0
where Contract_Status_Code = 10
or (VIN,Year,Ranking_value) not in(
select VIN,Year,max(Ranking_Value)
from table1
group by VIN,Year
)
I'm trying to create a stored procedure that will update a record on one table depending on certain values in a related table:
MainTable contains a status field and is related to SubTable which also has a status field. I need to update the status of each record in MainTable where ALL of the related records in SubTable has the same status x. I've tried several queries but think I am going about it the wrong way. Any assistance would greatly be appreciated. Thanks.
for example having following tables :
Producer ( Code,Name,Status)
Goods ( GCode,PCode( Producer Code),Name,Status)
and Query :
Update Producer set Status=F
where not exists (select * from Goods where Status <> X and Goods.PCode= Producer.Code)
Try this :
Update schema.yourtable s set s.fieldtoupdate = (
Select e.Relationalfield from schema.RealtionalTable e where e.STATUSFIELD = s.STATUSFIELD);
Hope it helps
