I have a SQL table set that looks like this
create table foo (
id int primary key asc,
data datatype );
create table bar (
id int primary key asc,
fk_foo int,
foreign key(foo_int) references foo(id));
Now, I want to insert a record set.
insert into table foo (data) values (stuff);
But wait - to get Bar all patched up hunkydory I need the PK from Foo. I know this is a solved problem.
What's the solution?
try this
SELECT last_insert_rowid()

This question already has answers here:
Insert a value from a table in another table as foreign key
(3 answers)
Closed 4 months ago.
Very new to SQL in general, working on creating 2 Tables, 1 for example representing appliances with a primary key, second representing a microwave for example with its FK referencing the primary tables PK.
I'm using SERIAL as the id for the primary table, but don't know how to update or insert into the second table using that specific generated value from the first.
I've created my tables using PSQL (Postgres15) like so:
CREATE TABLE Appliances (
id SERIAL NOT NULL,
field1 integer NOT NULL DEFAULT (0),
--
PRIMARY KEY (id),
UNIQUE(id)
);
CREATE TABLE Microwaves (
id integer NOT NULL,
field1 integer,
--
PRIMARY KEY (id),
FOREIGN KEY (id) REFERENCES Appliances(id)
);
Inserting my first row into the Appliance table:
INSERT INTO Appliances(field1) VALUES(1);
SELECT * FROM Appliances;
Yields:
And a query I found somewhere pulls the current increment of the SERIAL:
SELECT currval(pg_get_serial_sequence('Appliances', 'id'));
Yields:
I'm struggling to determine how to format the INSERT statement, have tried several variations around the below input:
INSERT INTO Microwaves VALUES(SELECT currval(pg_get_serial_sequence('Appliances', 'id'), 1));
Yields:
Appreciate feedback on solving the problem as represented, or a better way to tackle this in general.
Okay looks like I stumbled on at least one solution that works in my case as taken from https://stackoverflow.com/a/50004699/3564760
DO $$
DECLARE appliance_id integer;
BEGIN
INSERT INTO Appliances(field1) VALUES('appliance2') RETURNING id INTO appliance_id;
INSERT INTO Microwaves(id, field2) VALUES(appliance_id, 100);
END $$;
Still open to other answers if this isn't ideal.
I have two related tables something like this:
CREATE TABLE test.items
(
id INT identity(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
type VARCHAR(max),
price NUMERIC(6,2)
);
CREATE TABLE test.books
(
id INT PRIMARY KEY REFERENCES test.items(id),
title VARCHAR(max),
author VARCHAR(max)
);
Is it possible to insert into both tables using a single SQL statement?
In PostgreSQL, I can use something like this:
-- PostgreSQL:
WITH item AS (INSERT INTO test.items(type,price) VALUES('book',12.5) RETURNING id)
INSERT INTO test.books(id,title) SELECT id,'Good Omens' FROM item;
but apparently SQL Server limits CTEs to SELECT statements, so that won’t work.
In principle, I could use the OUTPUT clause this way:
-- SQL Server:
INSERT INTO test.items(type, price)
OUTPUT inserted.id, 'Good Omens' INTO test.books(id,title)
VALUES ('book', 12.5);
but this doesn’t work if there’s a foreign key involved, as above.
I know about using variables and procedures, but I wondered whether there is a simple single-statement approach.
You can using dynamic sql as follows. Although its awkward to construct query like this.
CREATE TABLE dbo.items (
id INT identity(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
type VARCHAR(max),
price NUMERIC(6,2)
);
CREATE TABLE dbo.books (
id INT PRIMARY KEY REFERENCES dbo.items(id),
title VARCHAR(max),
author VARCHAR(max)
);
insert into dbo.books(id,title)
exec ('insert into dbo.items(type,price) output inserted.id,''Good Omen'' VALUES(''book'',12.5)')
I'm frankly new to sql and this is a project I'm doing.
I would like to know if there's a way to connect one column in one table to another table when creating tables. I know of the join method to show results of, but I want to minimized my code as possible.
CREATE TABLE players (
id INT PRIMARY KEY, -->code I want connect with table match_record
player_name CHARACTER
);
CREATE TABLE match_records (
(id INT PRIMARY KEY /*FROM players*/), --> the code I want it to be here
winner INT,
loser INT
);
CREATE TABLE players (
id INT not null PRIMARY KEY, -->code I want connect with table match_record
player_name CHARACTER
);
CREATE TABLE match_records (
id INT not null PRIMARY KEY references players(id), --> the code I want it to be here
winner INT,
loser INT
);
this way you restrict that match_records.id is only from players.id:
t=# insert into match_records select 1,1,0;
ERROR: insert or update on table "match_records" violates foreign key constraint "match_records_id_fkey"
DETAIL: Key (id)=(1) is not present in table "players".
So I add players:
t=# insert into players(id) values(1),(2);
INSERT 0 2
And now it allows insert:
t=# insert into match_records select 1,1,0;
INSERT 0 1
update

If the session user is a database superuser, then a #, otherwise a >.
(The expansion of this value might change during a database session as
the result of the command SET SESSION AUTHORIZATION.)
in this way:
CREATE TABLE new_table as SELECT id,... from old_table where id = 1;
I have 3 tables is shown this tables:
table A
A(
code1
.
.
.
)
table B
B(
code2
.
.
.
)
table C
C(
code3
.
.
.
)
I want to be unique between code1,code2,code3 of this tables.
How do i recieve to my goal in oracle?
Does any syntax of oracle exist about this problem?
Based on materialized view.
P.s.
The code is not validated.
I currently have access only to oracle XE 11gR2, so I'm not able to use the materialized view log feature.
create table A (code int primary key);
create table B (code int primary key);
create table C (code int primary key);
create materialized view log on a with primary key;
create materialized view log on b with primary key;
create materialized view log on c with primary key;
create materialized view ABC_MV
refresh fast
as
select code from A
union all select code from B
union all select code from C
;
alter table ABC_MV add unique (code);
You can do that with trigger.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER table1_check
BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON table1
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
IF EXISTS (
SELECT attribute FROM table2
WHERE attribute = :NEW.attribute
) THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20001,
'Already exist in table2');
END IF;
END;
/
You can modify it to check in more tables as well.
Using a 4th table
create table ABC (tab char(1) not null ,code int primary key, unique (tab,code));
create table A (tab char(1) as ('A') virtual not null,code int primary key,foreign key (tab,code) references ABC(tab,code));
create table B (tab char(1) as ('B') virtual not null,code int primary key,foreign key (tab,code) references ABC(tab,code));
create table C (tab char(1) as ('C') virtual not null,code int primary key,foreign key (tab,code) references ABC(tab,code));
insert into ABC (tab,code) values ('A',1);
insert into A (code) values (1);
insert into A (code) values (1);

I need help in auto populating the primary key values in foreign key table while inserting data in foreign key table. For Example: I have created table:
create table Patient
(
PatientId int IDENTITY(1,1) primary key,
FirstName varchar(50),
SurName varchar(50),
Gender char(20),
)
Say 5 rows are there in this Patient Table:
Say First Row value is: 1, Priya, Kumari, Female
I have created the Guardians Table:
create table Guardians
(
GuardiansId int identity(1,1) primary key,
PatientId int foreign key references Patient(PatientId),
FirstName varchar(50),
SurName varchar(50),
Gender char(20),
RelationToPatient varchar(50),
)
In this table Insert operations are like this:
insert into Guardians(FirstName, SurName, Gender,RelationToPatient)values('Sumit','Kumar','Male','Wife')
While selecting the Guardians Table PatientId showing NULL values: My query is while inserting the values in Guardians Table PatientId should be auto Populated which will come from Patient Table...
My second problem is: How to create the Identity column as varchar. For example: suppose I want to increment my Guardians Table with 'GRD0001', 'GRD0002', 'GRD0003' like this...
Thanks,
S.D
Your question is not very clear - what exactly do you want to do??
When you insert something into the Guardians table, you want to automatically also insert it into the Patients table? I don't quite follow. Can you make a complete example, maybe??
If you need to capture the insert IDENTITY value from the Patient table, do this:
DECLARE #NewPatientID INT
INSERT INTO dbo.Patient(fields) VALUES(.......)
SET #NewPatientID = SCOPE_IDENTITY()
INSERT INTO dbo.Guardians(PatientId, ......) VALUES(#NewPatientID, ......)
As for your second question: leave you GuardiansId IDENTITY as it is (only an INT column can be an IDENTITY and you want to keep that - trust me!) and add a computed column to your table:
ALTER TABLE dbo.Guardians
ADD GuardianIDWithPrefix AS
'GDR' + RIGHT('0000' + CAST(GuardiansId AS VARCHAR(4)), 4) PERSISTED
Since it's a PERSISTED field, you can even index on it and use it like a normal field in every respect.
That should do the trick!
