How to update column value to a table from another table in a stored procedure?

I created a procedure from querying other tables including transaction tbl to settle all transaction records with a reference number and date automatically stamped on it.

What I try to do is my settle_transaction procedure needs to generate my query from the selected statement and insert them into the settlement table. Meanwhile, I also need to update the ref_num and processed date as a "stamp" to the transaction table so that I don't have duplicated settlement when calling the procedure again. Otherwise, I don't know how to stop showing the same settlement data twice

Here is the procedure to output a settlement tbl and structure similar below:

BEGIN
    for r_client in 
    (
        select clientid,
        client_name, sum(transaction) total_amount
        from transaction_tbl tran join terminal_tbl term
        on tran.terminalid = term.terminalid join client_tbl c on c.clientid = term.clientid
        where refnr is null
    )
    loop
    v_refnr := get_refnr;
        insert into settlement_tbl
        (
            Ref_Num, 
            Total,
            CLIENTID,
            TITLE, 
            processeddate
        )
        values (v_refnr, total_amount, clientid,
        name,sysdate);
update_refnr(v_refnr, sysdate)
        end loop;
END

Output:

| reference_num | total amount | client id | client name | processed_date |
|---------------|--------------|-----------|-------------|----------------|

When I execute the above procedure, it populates all the result from the select query. However, if I execute again, it will duplicate the same result especially the total amount.

I'm seeking a solution to put another procedure/function inside this settlement procedure to prevents duplicate records from the selected query in this procedure.

I use the ref. no# and process_date to update the existing reference num and date to the transaction tbl show below.

| transaction_num | transaction amount | reference_num | processed_date |
|-----------------|--------------------|---------------|----------------|

Here is the attempted code I put inside the settlement procedure but still shows duplicated records and can not update to the transaction tbl.

procedure update_refnr(
  p_refnr in number,
  p_processeddate in date
)
is
begin
    UPDATE TRANSACTION t 
       SET t.refnr = p_refnr
     WHERE EXISTS (SELECT p_processeddate 
                     FROM terminal_tbl
                    WHERE t.TERMINALID= term.TERMINALID
                      AND t.processeddate = p_processeddate
                      AND t.refnr IS NULL);   
--exception handling below

end update_refnr;

I also tried other SQL reference but cannot compile.

Ideally, I don't have duplicated records in my settlement tbl when I retrieve each record from my stored procedure.

You want to insert new data into your table only when it doesn't already exist. As others have said, you can use MERGE to do that:

BEGIN
  for r_client in (select clientid,
                          client_name,
                          sum(transaction) total_amount
                     from transaction_tbl tran
                     join terminal_tbl term
                       on tran.terminalid = term.terminalid
                     join client_tbl c
                       on c.clientid = term.clientid
                     where refnr is null)
  loop
    v_refnr := get_refnr;

    MERGE INTO settlement_tbl s
      USING (SELECT v_refnr      AS REF_NUM,
                    total_amount AS TOTAL,
                    clientid     AS CLIENTID,
                    name         AS TITLE,
                    SYSDATE      AS PROCESSEDDATE
               FROM DUAL) d
        ON (s.REF_NUM = d.REF_NUM)
      WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
        INSERT (Ref_Num,   Total,   CLIENTID,   TITLE,   processeddate)
        VALUES (d.REF_NUM, d.TOTAL, d.CLIENTID, d.TITLE, d.PROCESSEDDATE);

    update_refnr(v_refnr, sysdate);
  END LOOP;
END;

WHEN NOT MATCHED inserts new data when v_refnr does not already exist in your table.

Best of luck.
