Let's say there are 2 user insert into the same emp table. So 2 records are created ID 221 and ID 222. How shall i know the currval id is accurate. Which shall i pick ?

INSERT ALL INTO emp (empid, empname,deptno) VALUES (seq_emp_id.nextval, empname,deptno) INTO dept (deptid,empid,deptname) VALUES(deptid, seq_emp_id.currval, deptname) Select :deptid deptid, :deptname deptname, :deptno deptno, :empname from dual. I wouldn't use this unless I needed a query anyway to extract some of the data. -----Original Message----- From: Gints Plivna [mailto:Gints.Plivna@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, March 18, 2005 9:16 AM To: kennaim@xxxxxxxxx; jacintakean@xxxxxxxxx; oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Insert into 2 tables at one time First: Mutitable insert must use subquery. Second initially thought of the same idea, but as from Oracle docs (look at the last statement): Restrictions on Multitable Inserts You can perform multitable inserts only on tables, not on views or materialized views. You cannot perform a multitable insert into a remote table. You cannot specify a table collection expression when performing a multitable insert. In a multitable insert, all of the insert_into_clauses cannot combine to specify more than 999 target columns. Multitable inserts are not parallelized in a Real Application Clusters environment, or if any target table is index organized, or if any target table has a bitmap index defined on it. Plan stability is not supported for multitable insert statements. The subquery of the multitable insert statement cannot use a sequence. At least for 9i. http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96540/stat ements_913a.htm Gints > -----Original Message----- > From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] > On Behalf Of Ken Naim > Sent: Friday, March 18, 2005 4:02 PM > To: jacintakean@xxxxxxxxx; oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: RE: Insert into 2 tables at one time > > You can do it in one statement with something called a multi table insert. > > INSERT ALL > INTO emp (empid, empname,deptno) > VALUES (seq_emp_id.nextval, :empname,:deptno) INTO dept > (deptid,empid,deptname) > VALUES(:deptid, seq_emp_id.currval, :deptname); > > > -----Original Message----- > From: oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:oracle-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] > On Behalf Of Kean Jacinta > Sent: Friday, March 18, 2005 5:17 AM > To: oracle-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Insert into 2 tables at one time > > Hello > > Need some help on this.
