Updating Multiple Rows in the Same Table with Oracle: A Real-World Example
Updating Multiple Rows in the Same Table with Oracle In this article, we will explore how to update multiple rows within the same table in Oracle. We’ll use a real-world example to demonstrate how to achieve this using SQL and PL/SQL. Understanding the Problem Suppose you have a table dummy_test_table with a column seq_no that contains sequential numbers starting from 0957, 0958, and 0969. You want to update these rows by setting a new column batch_id based on their corresponding seq_no values.

Transforming Data: A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Temporary Table for Verification
To summarize the steps to create a new table with the desired content: Create a temporary table with the original data, using a Common Table Expression (CTE) or a subquery. Rename the original table to a temporary name (e.g., indata_old). Rename the temporary table to the original table’s name (e.g., indata). Verify that the new table contains the desired data by querying it. Drop the original table if everything looks good.

How to Customize tbl_continuous from gtsummary for Continuous Variables in R
Getting Descriptive Statistics with tbl_continuous from gtsummary The gtsummary package in R provides an efficient way to generate descriptive statistics for datasets. One of its key features is the use of the tbl_continuous() function, which allows users to specify custom summary statistics for each variable in their dataset. In this article, we will explore how to modify the default behavior of tbl_continuous() to obtain mean and standard deviation (sd) instead of median and interquartile range (IQR).
