RE: cursor

a simplified version...
the second cursor was looping thru the 2nd table needlessly...
just loop thru the first table once, and update the column you need as you
go...
I didn't understand how you wanted to update, overlay the masterfield or
append to it...

SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DECLARE
        cursor c1 is
        SELECT DOT_NUMBER, CLASSIFICATION_ID
                FROM CARRIER_OP_CLASS;
        v1    VARCHAR2(2);

        v_f1    VARCHAR2(12);
        FLAG    NUMBER(1) := 1;
BEGIN
    FOR v1 IN c1 
    LOOP
                dbms_output.put_line(v1.dot_number || ' ' ||
v1.classification_id);
                update censusomc 
                        set master_field = v1.classification_id
--                      set master_field = censusomc.dot_number ||
v1.classification_id
                                where censusomc.dot_number = v1.dot_number;
END LOOP;
--DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('value is: '||v_f1);
end;
/

hi to all,
I don't know if this the right place to post this question. If it's not, my
aplogies.

Below is the structure of my tables
TABLE CARRIER_OP_CLASS
DOT_NUMBER              CLASSIFICATION_ID
777                             1
777                             2
888                             3
888                             4

TABLE CENSUSOMC
DOT_NUMBER              MASTER_FIELD
777                             12
888                             34

As you can see what I'm trying to do is get all classification_id that
belong to the dot_number field on CARRIER_OP_CLASS and append them to the
MASTER_FIELD on CENSUSOMC table where dot_number match.

For some reason my cursors are not working right, what is doing now is will
update the first record with 12, but when it goes to the next record will
add 1234.

It looks like this
dot_number 777 master_field 12
dot_number 888 master_field 1234

Any idea?
Thanks in advance
Nato
