This is my first question. So Im trying to use act_no varchar2(10), act_name varchar2(10) of type accounttype in account_branchtype. So I entered the command = create or replace type account_branchtype as object(act_no ref accounttype, act_name ref accounttype, act_branch varchar2(10));
But its not working. I have pasted the code please help me how to use act_no, act_name in account_branchtype.
create or replace type accounttype as object(act_no varchar2(10), act_name varchar2(10), act_balance number(10), act_dob date, member function age return number);
create or replace type body accounttype as member function age return number
2 as
3 begin
4 return(round((sysdate-dob)/365));
5 end age;
6 end;
7 /
create or replace type account_branchtype as object(act_no ref accounttype, act_name ref accounttype, act_branch varchar2(10));
create or replace type account_citytype as object(account ref accounttype, account ref accounttype, act_city varchar2(10), act_ pincodenumber(6), act_ state varchar2(15));
create table account of accounttype;
insert into account values(accounttype('19DCS001','Rajesh','35000','12-JUL-2001'));
insert into account values(accounttype('19DCS002','Shyam','30000','05-NOV-1993'));
insert into account values(accounttype('19DCS003','Bimal','55000','12-DEC-1997'));
insert into account values(accounttype('19DCS004','Neel','46000','31-JAN-2000'));
insert into account values(accounttype('19DCS005','Tushar','37900','27-FEB-2002'));
select * from account;
create table account_branch of account_branchtype;
insert into account_branch values(account_branchtype ('19DCS001','Rajesh','Manjalpur'));
insert into account_branch values(account_branchtype ('19DCS002','Shyam','MG Road'));
insert into account_branch values(account_branchtype ('19DCS003','Bimal','Mayapuri'));
insert into account_branch values(account_branchtype ('19DCS004','Neel','Borivali'));
insert into account_branch values(account_branchtype ('19DCS005','Tushar','Ghogha'));
select * from account_branch;
create table account_city of account_citytype;
insert into account_city values(account_citytype ('19DCS001','Rajesh','Vadodara','390011','Gujarat'));
insert into account_city values(account_citytype ('19DCS002','Shyam','Bangalore','400032','Karnataka'));
insert into account_city values(account_citytype ('19DCS003','Bimal','Delhi','110064','Delhi'));
insert into account_city values(account_citytype ('19DCS004','Neel','Mumbai','400092','Maharastra'));
insert into account_city values(account_citytype ('19DCS005','Tushar','Bhavnagar','364110','Gujarat'));
I tried many things but couldn't find a proper solution. I want to use act_no varchar2(10), act_name varchar2(10) from type accounttype in account_branch. Please help me.
Don't try to repeat the columns, use third normal-form and ensure your data has a single source of truth and then when you want to display the account name you can get the value from the object reference.
Create your types as:
CREATE TYPE accounttype AS OBJECT(
no varchar2(10),
name varchar2(10),
balance number(10),
dob date,
member function age return number
);
CREATE TYPE BODY accounttype AS
MEMBER FUNCTION age RETURN NUMBER
AS
BEGIN
RETURN FLOOR(MONTHS_BETWEEN(sysdate,dob)/12);
END age;
END;
/
CREATE TYPE account_branchtype AS OBJECT(
account REF accounttype,
branch varchar2(10)
);
CREATE TYPE account_citytype AS OBJECT(
account ref accounttype,
city varchar2(10),
pincode number(6),
state varchar2(15)
);
Note: you can use the act_
prefix everywhere if you want but you know it is related to an account as it is in a table with a name starting with "account" so that just seems like lots of unnecessary typing.
and your tables as:
create table account of accounttype (
no CONSTRAINT account__no__pk PRIMARY KEY
);
create table account_branch of account_branchtype (
account SCOPE IS account
);
create table account_city of account_citytype (
account SCOPE IS account
);
Then you can insert the data using:
insert into account (no, name, balance, dob)
values('19DCS001','Rajesh','35000', DATE '2001-07-12');
insert into account_branch (account, branch)
values( (SELECT REF(a) FROM account a WHERE no = '19DCS001'),'Manjalpur');
insert into account_city (account, city, pincode, state)
values(
(SELECT REF(a) FROM account a WHERE no = '19DCS001'),
'Vadodara',
'390011',
'Gujarat'
);
Then:
SELECT a.*,
a.age() AS age
FROM account a;
Outputs:
NO | NAME | BALANCE | DOB | AGE |
---|---|---|---|---|
19DCS001 | Rajesh | 35000 | 2001-07-12 00:00:00 | 21 |
and:
SELECT b.account.no,
b.account.name,
b.branch
FROM account_branch b;
Outputs:
ACCOUNT.NO | ACCOUNT.NAME | BRANCH |
---|---|---|
19DCS001 | Rajesh | Manjalpur |
and:
SELECT c.account.no,
c.account.name,
c.city,
c.pincode,
c.state
FROM account_city c;
Outputs:
ACCOUNT.NO | ACCOUNT.NAME | CITY | PINCODE | STATE |
---|---|---|---|---|
19DCS001 | Rajesh | Vadodara | 390011 | Gujarat |
