Firstly, I've got a truncate query within my stored procedure

TRUNCATE TABLE VF.TRANS;

Oracle gives me this error:

Quote:

PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "TABLE" when expecting one of the following:

:= . ( @ % ;
The symbol ":= was inserted before "TABLE" to continue.


Secondly, can we not insert mulltiple values in 1 insert?

    INSERT INTO INTEGRATION.TRANS ( CLIENTID, ACCIDID, CCY, VERID, AMT, ENTRY )
                                       VALUES ( '12345', '12345~TAX', 'GBP', 'INC', '55', 'D'),
VALUES ( '12345', '12345~TAX', 'GBP', 'INC', '90', 'D');

Truncate is a DDl statement so you cant use it directly inside the procedure...use 'execute immediate' for that matter...



you can insert multiple values at a time search in google for syntax...

Thanks, execute immediate 'truncate..' worked fine.

I found an INSERT ALL but that looks like its doing multiple inserts

You're probably looking for insert select.

well this is what im trying to do

    INSERT ALL
    INTO INTEGRATION.CASH_TRANS ( CLIENT_ID, ACCOUNT_ID, TXN_CCY, LTY_ID, AMT, ENTRY_TYPE )
    VALUES ('12345', '12345~TAX', 'GBP', 'INC', '55', 'D')
    INTO INTEGRATION.CASH_TRANS ( CLIENT_ID, ACCOUNT_ID, TXN_CCY, LTY_ID, AMT, ENTRY_TYPE )
    VALUES ('12345', '12345~TAX', 'GBP', 'INC', '60', 'D');


but that isnt compiling because it seems to be missing something

Here is the syntax for the INSERT ALL command - it needs a SELECT statement to provide the data.

What is wrong with:
INSERT INTO INTEGRATION.CASH_TRANS ( CLIENT_ID, ACCOUNT_ID, TXN_CCY, LTY_ID, AMT, ENTRY_TYPE ) 
VALUES ('12345', '12345~TAX', 'GBP', 'INC', '55', 'D');

INSERT INTO INTEGRATION.CASH_TRANS ( CLIENT_ID, ACCOUNT_ID, TXN_CCY, LTY_ID, AMT, ENTRY_TYPE ) 
VALUES ('12345', '12345~TAX', 'GBP', 'INC', '60', 'D');

Have a look at syntax diagram for what is named multi_table_insert, you'd see it ends with a mandatory part which is "subquery".

Try:
    INSERT ALL
    INTO INTEGRATION.CASH_TRANS ( CLIENT_ID, ACCOUNT_ID, TXN_CCY, LTY_ID, AMT, ENTRY_TYPE )
    VALUES ('12345', '12345~TAX', 'GBP', 'INC', '55', 'D')
    INTO INTEGRATION.CASH_TRANS ( CLIENT_ID, ACCOUNT_ID, TXN_CCY, LTY_ID, AMT, ENTRY_TYPE )
    VALUES ('12345', '12345~TAX', 'GBP', 'INC', '60', 'D')
SELECT 1 FROM DUAL;

If you're inserting hard-coded values what do you need insert all for?
The amount of typing you're going to save over individual inserts is going to be pretty negligible.

Because it is the syntax. Full stop.

If you are using PL/SQL, why not fill up PL/SQL tables with values and then use the FORALL statement to dump them into the table in a single command.
