  It's your mistake:

  PARTITION BY RANGE ("CODE_COMBINATION_ID") 
  

  but in your projection of column list, you have an alias he:

  "GL"."GL_CODE_COMBINATIONS21"."CODE_COMBINATION_ID" "CCID",
  

  You must use the alias as a partition key, not the name fom the secondary table column.

• Create table statement bulk

  Hello
  
  I am facing the following problem:
  
  A database is running with a large number of tables.
  Database B must contain the same tables with different data (DB B is empty at the moment).
  So I have collected all the "create table" - statements and they crammed into a script.
  
  Because there are a several foreign key constraints in the DB A (not all may be delayed) it seems to be a problem to run the script.
  I searched on the internet how to disable constraints before the execution of the instructions, but I ' ve only found solutions for the deactivation of the constraints for existing tables already - don't disable forced verifies the determination to create.
  
  So, could you please give me a hint what keywords should I use to search?
  
  Thanks in advance.

  It seems you are interested only in the metadata DB A to B. DB

  If it is 10g, you can use METADATA_ONLY with expdp

  Otherewise, you can set lines = n with exp.

  and put the list of tables in a parameter file.

• A full import by using datapump will overwrite the target database data dictionary?

  Hello

  I have a 11G with 127 GB database. I did a full export using expdp as a user of the system. I'll import the created dump file (which is 33 GB) on the basis of data from 12 c target.

  When I do the full import on the 12 c database data dictionary is updated with new data. But as is it already contained data dictionary? It will also change?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  In addition to the responses of the other comrades

  To start, you need to know some basic things:

  The dictionary database tables are owned by SYS and must of these tables is created when the database is created.

  Thus, in the different versions of database Oracle there could be less or more data dictionary tables of different structure database,.

  so if this SYSTEM base tables are exported and imported between different versions of oracle, could damage the features of database

  because the tables do not correspond with the version of database.

  See the Ref:

  SYS, owner of the data dictionary

  Database Oracle SYS user is owner of all the base tables and a view of the data available to the user dictionary. No Oracle database user should never change (UPDATE, DELETE, or INSERT) ranks or schema objects contained in the SYS schema, because this activity can compromise the integrity of the data. Security administrator must keep strict control of this central account.

  Source: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28318/datadict.htm

  Prosecutor, the utilities for export cannot export the dictionary SYS base tables and is marked

  as a note in the documentation:

  Data Pump export Modes

  Note:

  Several patterns of system cannot be exported because they are not user patterns; they contain metadata and data managed by Oracle. Examples of system schemas that are not exported MDSYS SYS and ORDSYS.

  Source: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e22490/dp_export.htm#SUTIL826

  That's why import cannot modify/alter/drop/create dictionary database tables. If you can not export, so you can not import.

  Import just to add new Non - SYS objects/data in the database, therefore new data are added to the dictionary base tables (as new users, new tables, code pl/sql etc).

  I hope that this might answer your question.

  Kind regards

• Among the data tables is missing from the 11g database. How to restore?

  Hello
  
  In my development 11G database, one database of tables is missed on Sept. 4.
  
  I have available valid RMAN backups, to restore the missing data in table I intend to do the following steps:-
  
  (1) create a new database
  (2) restore the fresh 3 taken rman sep to the DB Backup
  (3) now take the export of backup in the table whose data are not being met since the new database
  (4) import the exported backup of the old DB table.
  
  
  Is it the right way, I think? or any other alternative method that we have?
  
  Please suggest.
  
  
  Thanks in advance,
  Florine Reddy

  1) Create a fresh DB
  2) Restore the rman backup taken on 3rd sep to the fresh DB
  3) Now take the export backup of the table which the data is missed from the new DB
  4) Import the exported backup of the table to the old DB.

  Hello Peter

  It is of course that there is a hardware conflict. I really don t say what you can do to solve this problem.

  If you want to be sure if there is everything well built into the Atheros card and reinstall the OS using the recovery CD. On this way, the operating system will be clean and after the first start will be detected and properly recognized all hardware components.

  Whatever your question has to do with sql developer?

  You don't even tell what database you want to use.

  Oracle does not support a data type 'datetime' so your create table statement will not work in Oracle.

  If you replace "datetime" 'date' the table creates very well.

• what need parameter should be ignored for creating table in LMT

  Hi all
  
  I have locally managed tablespace (LMT) with the type of ventilation SYSTEM and segment_space_management is AUTOMATIC. My database is Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi.
  
  I have for example:
  
  create table (ID)
  PCTFREE 5
  INITTRANS 2
  STORAGE (Initial...).
  
  
  Oracle documnetation, I found that it is recommended to omit the storage clause when you use LMT.
  
  I want to know, I do also omit PCTFREE 5, INITTRANS 2 of the create table statement?
  
  Thanks for any advice.

  Dear spur230,

  Yes, you can omit these parameters either.

  Here's the answer to your question;

  http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/tspaces.htm#sthref1153

  +"+
  * + Creating a locally managed Tablespace + *.

  + Create a locally managed tablespace by specifying IN clause of the CREATE TABLESPACE statement SCOPE MANAGEMENT. This is the default value for new permanent storage space, but you must specify the EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL clause if you want to specify the AUTOALLOCATE or the UNIFORM clause. You can have the database to manage extensions for you automatically with the clause AUTOALLOCATE (default), or you can specify that the tablespace is managed with uniform extents of a specific size (UNIFORM). +

  + If you plan the tablespace contains objects of various sizes, requiring many scopes with different sizes, then AUTOALLOCATE is the best choice. AUTOALLOCATE is also a good choice if it is not important for you to have a lot of control over the allocation of space and the deallocation, because it simplifies the management of the table space. A space may be wasted with this parameter, but the advantage of having the Oracle database manage your space probably outweigh this disadvantage. +

  + If you want exact control on unused space, and you can predict exactly the space to allocate for an object or objects and the number and size of extensions, and then UNIFORM is a good choice. This setting ensures that you will never have the unusable space in your tablespace. +

  * + When you do not explicitly specify the type of management, database Oracle determines management extended as follows: + *.

  + * _If the CREATE TABLESPACE statement omits the DEFAULT storage clause, then the database creates a locally managed tablespace autoallocated. _ +
  + * _If the CREATE TABLESPACE statement includes a default storage clause, then the database considers the following: _ +.
  + O _If you specified AS MINIMUM clause, the database evaluates if MEASURE MINIMUM values, INITIAL, FOLLOWING are equal, and the value for PCTINCREASE is 0. If so, the database creates a locally managed tablespace uniform with size = INITIAL measurement. If the parameters to MEASURE MINIMUM INITIAL and NEXT are not equal, otherwise PCTINCREASE is not 0, the database ignores storage extent parameters you specify and creates a locally managed tablespace autoallocated. _ +
  + o _If you have not specified a MEASURE MINIMUM clause, the database evaluates only if the values of storage are the same INITIAL and NEXT and PCTINCREASE is 0. If so, the tablespace is locally managed and uniform. Otherwise, the tablespace is locally managed and autoallocated. _ +

  + The following statement creates a managed tablespace locally named lmtbsb and specifies AUTOALLOCATE: +.

  + CREATE TABLESPACE lmtbsb DATAFILE ' / u02/oracle/data/lmtbsb01.dbf' SIZE 50 +.
  + EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL AUTOALLOCATE; +

  + AUTOALLOCATE causes tablespace system managed with a volume of minimum extent of 64K. +

  + The alternative to AUTOALLOCATE is UNIFORM. who says that the tablespace is managed with uniform size extents. You can specify the size of the uniform SIZE clause. If you omit the SIZE, the default size is 1 M. +

  + The following example creates a tablespace with uniform extents of 128 K. (In a database with 2 K blocks, each would amount to 64 blocks of data). Each measure 128K is represented by a bit in the bitmap extent for this file. +

  + CREATE TABLESPACE lmtbsb DATAFILE ' / u02/oracle/data/lmtbsb01.dbf' SIZE 50 +.
  + EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL UNIFORM SIZE 128K; +

  + You can not specify the storage, TEMPORARY or MEASURE MINIMUM clause by DEFAULT when you explicitly specify EXTENT MANAGEMENT LOCAL. If you want to create a locally managed temporary tablespace, use the statement to CREATE a TEMPORARY TABLESPACE. +
  +"+

  Hope that helps.

  Please see this for more information on the GET sqlplus command.

  http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/A97630_01/server.920/a90842/ch13.htm#1009882

  Get command Loads a host operating system file into the SQL buffer.
  
  *The operating system file should contain a single SQL statement or PL/SQL block*.
  The statement should not be terminated with a semicolon. If a SQL*Plus command or
  more than one SQL statement or PL/SQL block is loaded into the SQL buffer from an
  operating system file, an error occurs when the RUN or slash (/) command is used to
  execute the buffer.
  

  I hope it is clear now. So if you want to run a script that may contain more then one of SQL statements, create a file * .sql, put all the instructions, complete with a semicolon and run as follows:

  SQL > @script_name.sql
