Hi there!
I have a really hard question (to me it sounds like).
I have 2 tables called TABLE_1 and TABLE_TEMP.
In TABLE_1 at the initialization is data collected from different
tables.
TABLE_1 has 2 important columns called OBJECT_ID and SERIAL_NUMBER.
OBJECT_ID is unique, can only exist one time in the hole system.
Now, I generate with an SQL-Script data into TABLE_TEMP were the
serialnumbers from other tables do not exist in
TABLE_1.SERIAL_NUMBERS.
This works already fine (I need this because I have to report every
week this difference).
What I want to do after the report is to insert or update the
collected difference from TABLE_TEMP.
That means, if there is an OBJECT_ID in TABLE_1 which is also in
TABLE_TEMP the serialnumber was modified. So this row has to be
updated in TABLE_1.
But if there is an OBJECT_ID in TABLE_TEMP which does not exist in
TABLE_1 this row should be inserted.
The flowing diagram should look like this (looking from TABLE_TEMP):
OBJECT_ID exist in TABLE_1
----> update this row with value from TABLE_TEMP with this
OBJECT_ID
or
OBJECT_ID does NOT exist in TABLE_1
----> insert this row into TABLE_1
This is necessary to get every week the difference which row has been inserted/updated in the other tables.
Who does the script looks like?
I know that this can be done with PL/SQL but my experience isn't higher than to DECLARE/BEGIN/END a PL/SQL statement. And I know that it is necessary to compare the OBJECT_ID's in TABLE_TEMP with those existing ones in TABLE_1. But I don't know how to perform this.
Can anyone help me? I thank you all in forward who's reading this.
Kind regards
