Hi All,

I'm using this query to find the records which have A.ID column as NULL and insert into the ACTIVITY table with the criteria as ID, NUM, STAT, ACTIVITYID and BU.


INSERT INTO ACTIVITY
(ID, NUM, STAT, ACTIVITYID, BU)
SELECT ROWNUM,
6112008,
'UNDER_PROGRESS',
ACTIVITYID,
(SELECT NAME
FROM BU
WHERE ID IN
(SELECT ID
FROM POSTN
WHERE EMPID IN (SELECT ROW_ID FROM USER WHERE ROW_ID = EMP_ID)))
FROM ACT A, ACT_EMP B
WHERE A.ID = B.ACTIVITYID
AND A.ID IS NULL

This query returns an error showing

ORA - 01427 : single-row subquery returns more than one row.

Please help me out with this issue.
Thanks In Advance.
Praveen.

Please read OraFAQ Forum Guide, especially "How to format your post?" section.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format.
Indent the code (See SQL Formatter) and align the columns in result.
Use the "Preview Message" button to verify.
Also always post your Oracle version (4 decimals).

Use SQL*Plus and copy and paste your session.

Regards
Michel

one of your inner query is returning more than one row, run your inner query separately and check the output.

Hi Praveen,

Use cursor to select the below statement.

SELECT ROWNUM,
6112008,
'UNDER_PROGRESS',
ACTIVITYID,
(SELECT NAME
FROM BU
WHERE ID IN
(SELECT ID
FROM POSTN
WHERE EMPID IN (SELECT ROW_ID FROM USER WHERE ROW_ID = EMP_ID)))
FROM ACT A, ACT_EMP B
WHERE A.ID = B.ACTIVITYID
AND A.ID IS NULL


Inside the for loop or Open cursor loop write the insert statement.
Now your query should work fine.
