Avoid Adding Duplicate Records - loops

I m trying to write if statement to give error message if user try to add existing ID number.When i try to enter existing id i get error .untill here it s ok but when i type another id no and fill the fields(name,adress etc) it doesnt go to database.
METHOD add_employee.
DATA: IT_EMP TYPE TABLE OF ZEMPLOYEE_20.
DATA:WA_EMP TYPE ZEMPLOYEE_20.
Data: l_count type i value '2'.
SELECT * FROM ZEMPLOYEE_20 INTO TABLE IT_EMP.
LOOP AT IT_EMP INTO WA_EMP.
IF wa_emp-EMPLOYEE_ID eq pa_id.
l_count = l_count * '0'.
else.
l_count = l_count * '1'.
endif.
endloop.
If l_count eq '2'.
WA_EMP-EMPLOYEE_ID = C_ID.
WA_EMP-EMPLOYEE_NAME = C_NAME.
WA_EMP-EMPLOYEE_ADDRESS = C_ADD.
WA_EMP-EMPLOYEE_SALARY = C_SAL.
WA_EMP-EMPLOYEE_TYPE = C_TYPE.
APPEND wa_emp TO it_emp.
INSERT ZEMPLOYEE_20 FROM TABLE it_emp.
CALL FUNCTION 'POPUP_TO_DISPLAY_TEXT'
EXPORTING
TITEL = 'INFO'
TEXTLINE1 = 'Record Added Successfully.'.
elseif l_count eq '0'.
CALL FUNCTION 'POPUP_TO_DISPLAY_TEXT'
EXPORTING
TITEL = 'INFO'
TEXTLINE1 = 'Selected ID already in database.Please type another ID no.'.
ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.

I'm not sure I'm getting your explanation. Why are you trying to re-insert all the existing entries back into the table? You're just trying to insert C_ID etc if it doesn't exist yet? Why do you need all the existing entries for that?
If so, throw out that select and the loop completely, you don't need it. You have a few options...
Just read the table with your single entry
SELECT SINGLE * FROM ztable INTO wa WITH KEY ID = C_ID etc.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
"this entry exists. popup!
ENDIF.
Use a modify statement
This will overwrite duplicate entries with new data (so non key fields may change this way), it wont fail. No need for a popup.
MODIFY ztable FROM wa.
Catch the SQL exceptions instead of making it dump
If the update fails because of an exception, you can always catch it and deal with exceptional situations.
TRY .
INSERT ztable FROM wa.
CATCH sapsql_array_insert_duprec.
"do your popup, the update failed because of duplicate records
ENDTRY.

I think there's a bug when appending in internal table 'IT_EMP' and inserting in 'ZEMPLOYEE_20' table.
Suppose you append the first time and then you insert. But when you append the second time you will have 2 records in 'IT_EMP' that are going to be inserted in 'ZEMPLOYEE_20'. That is because you don't refresh or clear the internal table and there you will have a runtime error.
According to SAP documentation on 'Inserting Lines into Tables ':
Inserting Several Lines
To insert several lines into a database table, use the following:
INSERT FROM TABLE [ACCEPTING DUPLICATE KEYS] . This
writes all lines of the internal table to the database table in
one single operation. The same rules apply to the line type of
as to the work area described above. If the system is able to
insert all of the lines from the internal table, SY-SUBRC is set to 0.
If one or more lines cannot be inserted because the database already
contains a line with the same primary key, a runtime error occurs.
Maybe the right direction here is trying to insert the work area directly but before you must check if record already exists using the primary key.
Check the SAP documentation on this issue clicking the link before.
On the other hand, once l_count is zero because of l_count = l_count * '0'. that value will never change to any other number making that you won't append or insert again.

why are you retrieving all entries from zemployee_20 ?
You can directly check wether the 'id' exists already or not by using select single. If exists, then show message, if not, add.
It is recommended to retrieve only one field when its needed and not the entire table with asterisc *
SELECT single employee_id FROM ZEMPLOYEE_20 where employee_id = p_id INTO v_id. ( or field in structure )
if sy-subrc = 0. "exists
"show message
else. "not existing id
"populate structure and then add record to Z table
endif.
Furthermore, l_count is not only unnecessary but also bad implemented.

You can directly use the insert query,if the sy-subrc is unsuccessful raise the error message.
WA_EMP-EMPLOYEE_ID = C_ID.
WA_EMP-EMPLOYEE_NAME = C_NAME.
WA_EMP-EMPLOYEE_ADDRESS = C_ADD.
WA_EMP-EMPLOYEE_SALARY = C_SAL.
WA_EMP-EMPLOYEE_TYPE = C_TYPE.
INSERT ZEMPLOYEE_20 FROM WA_EMP.
If sy-subrc <> 0.
Raise the Exception.
Endif.

SP2-0552: Bind variable "NEW" not declared and END Error report - Unknown Command

I have to write a trigger for the tables I made and in insert update, I have to record a separate log table for those that are updated or inserted.
Columns in the log table will be like;
Done_process (will write update, insert)
Person (student number of the person treated)
Before (previous value for update, blank for insert)
After (new value for update, new value for insert)
This is my student_info table,
CREATE TABLE student_info (
school_id NUMBER,
id_no NUMBER NOT NULL UNIQUE,
name VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL,
surname VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL,
city VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL,
birth_date DATE NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT student_info_pk PRIMARY KEY(school_id )
);
CREATE TABLE og_log(
done_process VARCHAR2(30),
person VARCHAR2(30),
before VARCHAR2(30),
after VARCHAR2(30)
);
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER og_trigger
BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE OR DELETE ON student_info
REFERENCING OLD AS OLD NEW AS NEW
FOR EACH ROW
ENABLE
DECLARE
BEGIN
IF INSERTING THEN
INSERT INTO og_log(done_process, person, before, after)
VALUES ('Insert',:new.school_id,:old.name,:new.name);
ELSIF UPDATING THEN
INSERT INTO og_log(done_process, person, before, after)
VALUES ('Update',:new.school_id,:old.name,:new.name);
END IF;
END;
/
When I try to run the code it gave an error as follows;
> Trıgger OG_TRIGGER created.

I believe you are creating this trigger for learning purpose and not something a real use case because what you do in trigger doesn't really making any sense.
The trigger you have mentioned is not compiling due to syntactical problems like where v_id := 20201033.
Where clause is used to compare the value and thus you should use = instead := which is an assignment operator.
Besides this problem few points which still needs to be taken care
Give a explicit convention for creating local variables. e.g. you have created a local variable v_id and the same column is also available in student_info table. Though it is not a problem in this case but it's good practice to keep the local variable specific like let's say l_v_id.
You have used a select statement inside trigger which could leads to NO_DATA_FOUND error and you should handle it by either in the exception section or another way would be using aggregate function like max() if obviously v_id is primary key. I doubt why you need this select statement ( you could use between old and new using something like coalesce(:old.school_id,:new_schoold_id) if I understood you) but I would leave it open to you to decide and act accordingly.
Considering above points final code will be,
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER og_trigger
BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE OR DELETE ON student_info
REFERENCING OLD AS OLD NEW AS NEW
FOR EACH ROW
ENABLE
DECLARE
BEGIN
IF INSERTING THEN
INSERT INTO og_log(done_process, person, before, after)
VALUES ('Insert',:new.school_id,:old.city,:new.city);
ELSIF UPDATING THEN
INSERT INTO og_log(done_process, person, before, after)
VALUES ('Update',:new.school_id,:old.city,:new.city);
END IF;
END;

EDITED: Solving probably tool issue
I doubt the issue is with SQL Developer tool usage , however last try i would like to make,
Step1:
Drop both the tables used by issuing drop command
drop table STUDENT_INFO;
drop table og_log;
Step2:
Open another SQL worksheet using alt+F10 and do as I have shown in the following image. Please try and let me know.

SQL Server - add to this query to first check for existence of a string

I have an nvarchar field in my database called CatCustom which contains comma-separated 5-character codes. It can contain as little as one code, or as many as 20 codes, separated by commas.
Right now, I use this query to add a new 5-character code to the field in given records (in this case the new code is LRR01):
UPDATE dbo.Sources
SET CatCustom = CONCAT_WS(', ', RTRIM(CatCustom), 'LRR01')
WHERE SourceID IN (1,2,3,4,5,8,9,44,63,45,101,102,222,344)
I need to add to this though: I need the record to be updated only if that 5-character code doesn't already exist somewhere in the CatCustom field, to ensure that code is not in there more than once.
How would I accomplish this?
EDIT: I really don't understand how this can be considered a duplicate of the suggested thread. This is a VERY specific case and has nothing to do with creating stored procedures and or variables. The alleged duplicated thread does not really help me - sorry.
Use STRING_SPLIT function to split the comma separated list and then add Not Exist condition in the WHERE clause like below
UPDATE dbo.Sources
SET CatCustom = CONCAT_WS(', ', RTRIM(CatCustom), 'LRR01')
WHERE SourceID IN (1,2,3,4,5,8,9,44,63,45,101,102,222,344)
AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM STRING_SPLIT(CatCustom, ',') where value = 'LRR01')
UPDATE dbo.Sources
SET
CatCustom = CONCAT_WS(', ', RTRIM(CatCustom), 'LRR01')
WHERE
SourceID IN (1,2,3,4,5,8,9,44,63,45,101,102,222,344)
AND CatCustom NOT LIKE '%LRR01%';

Missing Insert Record on the table with Trigger (Oracle DB)

The scenario is the following -
OrderTable with Columns "OrderId" and "OrderType"
OrderRelationTable with Columns "OrderId" and "CustId"
OrderProcessTable with Columns "OrderId", "OrderType", "CustId", and "ProcessFlag"
The flow goes like this-
Application1 creates the record in OrderTable -> Then pass the record to Application2 by using MQ protocol, Application 2 in this case insert/create the record passed in the OrderRelationTable -> Then a trigger is called in Oracle DB to create the record in OrderProcessTable
Problem
Sometimes the record is not inserted into table 3 OrderProcessTable. Not sure if it is cause by timing or there is something that is not correct with the trigger?
Application1 Code
boolean updated = false;
/** JDBC prepare statement execution insert into OrderTable in Java**/
int rowCount = ps.executeUpdate();
if(rowCount>0){
updated=true;
}
log.log("updated flag:"+updated);
/** I am able to see the log shows the flag is true, and recored inserted into OrderTable **/
Application2 Code
This doesn't really matter much assuming that it is some Java JDBC code that does the insert into OrderRelationTable and it is successful.
The Trigger
Assuming the syntax is correct.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER INSERTINTOOrderProcessTable
AFTER INSERT ON OrderRelationTable
FOR EACH ROW DECLEAR
v_order_type := null;
BEGIN
SELECT OrderType INTO v_order_type FROM OrderTable
WHERE OrderId = :new.OrderId
AND OrderType IS NOT NULL
AND rownum=1;
IF v_order_type IS NOT NULL THEN
INSERT INTO OrderProcessTable VALUES (:new.OrderId, v_order_type, :new.CustId, 'N');
END IF;
END;
Questions -
After the Application 1 Code is executed is guaranteed DB will have the OrderTable record avaliable for SELECT statement? (Assume that updated flag is true)
Is there a timing issue with the app code and trigger? for example when trigger calls the SELECT statement from OrderTable? (of course the order id is matching in the OrderRelationTable and OrderTable)
Basically right now my problem is that sometimes (rarely) the record is not inserted into OrderProcessTable via the trigger even though it should (Order Type is not null)? Any idea?
There's no timing issue, as far as I can tell.
As of trigger code: what is the purpose of and rownum = 1 condition? I'm not saying that it is wrong, I'm just asking. Do you expect several rows to be returned by that query? If so, is that a legal situation? Wouldn't you rather handle it with the WHEN TOO_MANY_ROWS exception handler (i.e. instead of using the ROWNUM condition)?
What happens if SELECT returns nothing? It raises then NO_DATA_FOUND exception and trigger fails and certainly doesn't insert anything. Is it propagated so that someone (human being) or something (error logging procedure) sees / catches it so that you'd know that something went wrong?
And, of course, the fact that V_ORDER_TYPE remains NULL which causes INSERT to fail (as P. Salmon already suggested).

Error update trigger after new row has inserted into same table

I want to update OrigOrderNbr and OrigOrderType (QT type) because when I create first both of column are Null value. But after S2 was created (QT converted to S2) the OrigOrderType and OrigOrderNbr (S2) take from QT reference. Instead of that, I want to update it to QT also.
http://i.stack.imgur.com/6ipFa.png
http://i.stack.imgur.com/E6qzT.png
CREATE TRIGGER tgg_SOOrder
ON dbo.SOOrder
FOR INSERT
AS
DECLARE #tOrigOrderType char(2),
#tOrigOrderNbr nvarchar(15)
SELECT #tOrigOrderType = i.OrderType,
#tOrigOrderNbr = i.OrderNbr
FROM inserted i
UPDATE dbo.SOOrder
SET OrigOrderType = #tOrigOrderType,
OrigOrderNbr = #tOrigOrderNbr
FROM inserted i
WHERE dbo.SOOrder.CompanyID='2'
and dbo.SOOrder.OrderType=i.OrigOrderType
and dbo.SOOrder.OrderNbr=i.OrigOrderNbr
GO
After I run that trigger, it showed the message 'Error #91: Another process has updated 'SOOrder' record. Your changes will be lost.'.
Per long string of comments, including some excellent suggestions in regards to proper trigger writing techniques by #marc_s and #Damien_The_Unbeliever, as well as my better understanding of your issue at this point, here's the re-worked trigger:
CREATE TRIGGER tgg_SOOrder
ON dbo.SOOrder
FOR INSERT
AS
--Update QT record with S2 record's order info
UPDATE SOOrder
SET OrigOrderType = 'S2'
, OrigOrderNbr = i.OrderNbr
FROM SOOrder dest
JOIN inserted i
ON dest.OrderNbr = i.OrigOrderNbr
WHERE dest.OrderType = 'QT'
AND i.OrderType = 'S2'
AND dest.CompanyID = 2 --Business logic constraint
AND dest.OrigOrderNbr IS NULL
AND dest.OrigOrderType IS NULL
Basically, the idea is to update any record of type "QT" once a matching record of type "S2" is created. Matching here means that OrigOrderNbr of S2 record is the same as OrderNbr of QT record. I kept your business logic constraint in regards to CompanyID being set to 2. Additionally, we only care to modify QT records that have OrigOrderNbr and OrigOrderType set to NULL.
This trigger does not rely on a single-row insert; it will work regardless of the number of rows inserted - which is far less likely to break down the line.

Oracle trigger implementation

I have to implement a trigger which would:
7) Show the DDL for how a trigger can be used to transfer all rental copies from a store being deleted from the Store information table to the central store
8) Show how this trigger can be extended to make
sure that the central store is never deleted from the database
So far I have done this:
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER stores BEFORE DELETE ON stores FOR
EACH ROW BEGIN IF DELETING WHERE cvr = 123456789 THEN
Raise_Application_Error ( num => -20050, msg => 'You can
not delete Main Store.'); END IF; IF DELETING THEN
UPDATE store_id=123456789 ON movies WHERE isActive = 0 END
IF; END;
so main store is with cvr which is written, but it gives me a compilation error. Any help? Thanks in advance.
You have two errors in your code.
there is no "DELETING WHERE" expression, you have to use two boolean exceptions like this:
IF DELETING AND :old.cvr = 123456789 THEN...
:old.cvr refers to value of cvr column in deleted record
Syntax of UPDATE clause is
UPDATE table_name
SET column_name1 = value1,
column_name1 = value2
WHERE where_clause;
in your case probably somethink like this:
UPDATE movies
set store_id = 123456789
WHERE store_id = :old.cvr
I guess, I don't know required functionality
