UPDATE SQL with FROM and JOIN Statements
Posted on 2011-03-08
Hi Experts
The SQL Below is from SQL SErver. Following that is my attempt at an Oracle equivalent - but it is not working
UPDATE AQD.qa_CheckList_Item SET Column1 = Standard_Item_GUID
FROM AQD.qa_CheckList_Item CI
INNER JOIN AQD.qa_StandardItem SI ON CI.column1 = SI.Standard_Item_ID
INNER JOIN AQD.qa_Checklist_Propertie
WHERE (CP.ColumnID = 1)
AND (ISNUMERIC(CI.Column1) = 1) -- Identities only
AND (CP.Source IS NOT NULL) -- we have a Standard
AND (SI.[Standard] = CP.Source) -- Standard must match
And in Oracle
UPDATE QA_CHECKLIST_ITEM
SET QA_CHECKLIST_ITEM.COLUMN1 = (SELECT DISTINCT CAST(sys.utl_raw.Cast_To_V
FROM AQD.QA_STANDARDITEM_SOURCE
INNER JOIN AQD.QA_CHECKLIST_ITEM CI ON CI.COLUMN1 = SI.STANDARD_ITEM_ID
INNER JOIN AQD.QA_CHECKLIST_PROPERTIE
WHERE (CP.COLUMNID = 1)
AND LENGTH(TRIM(TRANSLATE(CI.C
AND CP.SOURCE IS NOT NULL
AND SI.STANDARD = CP.SOURCE
AND rownum = 1);

The oracle update statement you have posted is a statement with update value derived from a sql statement. If the sql returns a value the update should work fine.
Do you want to convert this update statement into one with where clause?

One way of doing this

update qa_checklist_item qci
set qci.column1 =
(
select distinct cast(sys.utl_raw.cast_to_varchar2(standard_item_guid) as varchar2(38))
from aqd.qa_standarditem_source si,
aqd.qa_checklist_properties cp
where qci.column1 = si.standard_item_id
and qci.checklist_code = cp.checklist_code
and cp.columnid = 1
and length(trim(translate(qci.column1,' +.01234656789',' '))) is null
and cp.source is not null
and si.standard = cp.source
and rownum = 1
)
where exists
(
select 1
from aqd.qa_standarditem_source si,
aqd.qa_checklist_properties cp
where qci.column1 = si.standard_item_id
and qci.checklist_code = cp.checklist_code
and cp.columnid = 1
and length(trim(translate(qci.column1,' +.01234656789',' '))) is null
and cp.source is not null

and rownum = 1

Thanks fiolks for the pointers. Managed to use a conversion tool which gave me close to the following. After some editing and playing around the following works. Appreciate the help, so points shared
MERGE INTO qa_CheckList_Item CI
USING (SELECT CI.ROWID row_id, SI.STANDARD_ITEM_GUID
FROM qa_CheckList_Item CI
JOIN qa_standarditem_source SI
ON CI.column1 = SI.Standard_Item_ID
JOIN qa_Checklist_Properties CP
ON CI.CheckList_Code = CP.CheckList_Code
WHERE ( CP.ColumnID = 1 )
AND ( sqlserver_utilities.isnume
)
AND ( CP.Source IS NOT NULL
)
AND ( SI.STANDARD = CP.Source
)) src
ON ( CI.ROWID = src.row_id )
WHEN MATCHED THEN UPDATE SET Column1 = CAST(sys.utl_raw.Cast_To_V
