Hi,
I have a database which running on Personal Oracle 7. The database is on going and live. Now, I want to modify my item code. Is it any way/utility able to change particular item code in all tables in one time?
For example, I want to change item code 1002 to 1112. The item code 1002 has been use for many transactions. Manual edit is not possible because of key and link problem. So, I want look for a code/utility which be able to change the item code in all table accordingly, no matter there is key/link issue.
Please help.
Thanks & Regards

It sounds to me like you will have to write custom SQL to create new records with the new value in those tables that use the field as a primary key. Then update the subordinate table entries and then delete the old primary records.
