Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> pl/sql and table defaults
List,
I have a problem with the loading of tables using pl/sql. In my =
procedure I have defaulted the variables to 0 and the procedure will =
gather data from 2 sales tables based on store ID and place it in a =
S_temp table. The procedure will also gather data from two order tables =
based on store ID and place it in a O_temp table. This portion of the =
procedure work ok. The problem shows it head when the procedure gathers =
data from the sales and order tables based on the store ID and enters the =
data in a total_tab. If there is no entries for the store in the sales =
tables but there are entries in the order tables, the procedure will make =
and entry in the total_tab and have "null" values in the fields related to =
the sales columns. I have set the defaults for the columns in the =
total_tab to 0 for all numeric columns .=20
How do I get around the loading of nulls when the default value is set =
to 0 on the columns when using pl/sql?? Short of re-writing the procedure =
with a lot of NVL's , is there any other answer?
Thanks,
ROR =AA=BF=AA
