Question

“CID”,”NAME”,”EMAIL”,”LOC” are the Attributes of the two tables

Create View TEST_V As

Select * From Table1

Union

Select * From Table2;

---

Insert Into TEST_ERROR (Source_Rowid, Source_Table, Filter_Id,
Date_Time, Action)

Select ROWID, ‘TEST_V’, 100, sysdate,’Request Admin’

From TEST_V

Where LOC = (Select CityList From Location);

Location is another Table and has CityList defined in it, I want to match and CityList with LOC and then Add the row.

The Error I am getting is:

SQL Error: ORA-01446: cannot select ROWID from, or sample, a view with DISTINCT, GROUP BY, etc.
01446. 00000 – “cannot select ROWID from, or sample, a view with DISTINCT, GROUP BY, etc.”

Answer 1

If you need the ROWIDs of the base tables of the view do this:

Create View TEST_V As
Select Table1.*, rowid as row_id From Table1
Union all
Select Table2.*, rowid as row_id From Table2;

then:

Insert Into TEST_ERROR (Source_Rowid, Source_Table, Filter_Id, Date_Time, Action)
Select ROW_ID, 'TEST_V', 100, sysdate,'Request Admin'
From TEST_V
Where LOC in (Select CityList From Location);
