• Change in the merger of insert and create a procedure for updating the records after

  Hello
  
  I have a table that contains about 50 M lines of partition, and every day I have an application that performs a merge to insert records statement about 100 k per day and it's 300 M updates a day.
  
  Because I both update and insert the application performs a merge.
  I need to make at least 500 M, updated day by day, and for this reason this solution doesn't have enough performance for what I'm asking.
  
  I think another solution that I will try to implement now, and I just posted this in an attempt to get help on the option that I may have to do.
  
  I want to start putting in place:
  -Locations is updated 'last_record_date' using 'KEY1' and 'Key2' "KEY3";
  -Change the application to only inserts into a temporary table.
  -Have two procedures, one that takes the new records from the temporary table and inserts it into the final table, and another that selects records which is updated and perform an update.
  -This two procedures will choose the records and delete them from the temporary table (or mark them as updated\inserted).
  
  The volume is very large, so performance is a challenge! That's why I'm writing this, because a solution with enough performance for the intermediate stage will be difficult.
  My final table is partitioned by date and the date is the area that I need to update (instead of create daily partitions in order to reduce the frequency of the movement of the line, I create monthly partitions)!
  It is currently my table definition:

  CREATE TABLE MY_TEST_TABLE
      (KEY1                           VARCHAR2(50 BYTE) ,
      KEY2                         VARCHAR2(50 BYTE) NOT NULL,

  Hello

  My version is:
  Oracle Database 11 g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64 bit Production

  It's the DOF I used to create the database.

  The merger is common during every day for about 10 M records.

  There are several methods to do the update, but they do sequencially to avoid deadlocks (because I can't control the source and each process can update the same keys.

  The update uses "KEY1, KEY2, KEY3" to update the value 'LAST_RECORD_DATE' have impact by being date or varchar2?

  I'm still waiting to receive permissions in order to follow up the matter, but in the meantime, in that I am trying to implement this work around in order to accelerate a development in the case where it would be necessary! Comments only I have at the moment, it is that he is not able to process the total amount of records timely (order book is generated).

  Thank you
  Ricardo

  Well, the first thing we do is to change the type of data type varchar to a date. The main impact is that a date is not a string, it's a date. If you are adding data processes in different date formats (which is possible when you use a character to store information) you're going to be very sad (good luck converting back an effective date).

  An example of how this can happen easily.

  ME_TUBBZ?select to_char(sysdate) from dual;
  
  TO_CHAR(SYSDATE)
  -----------------------------
  12-jan-2012 10 55:33
  
  1 row selected.
  
  Elapsed: 00:00:00.01
  ME_TUBBZ?alter session set nls_date_format = 'yyyy-mon-dd';
  
  Session altered.
  
  Elapsed: 00:00:00.01
  ME_TUBBZ?select to_char(sysdate) from dual;
  
  TO_CHAR(SYSDATE)
  --------------------
  2012-jan-12
  
  1 row selected.
  
  Elapsed: 00:00:00.00
  

  Assuming that the client passes the column as an Oracle DATE will make an (implicit) conversion to store the data as a string, which will be based on the current settings of the NLS for the session. This allows also for someone to completely non-jour the information in the column (super bad). It's just really bad form to use strings to store dates, numbers, anything that is not naturally a string.

  Based on the description of your problem, I can't imagine how your partitioning scheme performs one action in another that require more work in order to process the updates (which are most of your needs). Partitioning does not equate to increase performance. It is a tool that, like every tool has its place, but I do not think that this is justified for what you do (certainly not how you currently use it anyway).

  I say no partitioning can not be useful for you, but I don't think that on the column that you are currently using is 'good '.

  Something I would like to personally study (must be able to compare this approach to your course, if you need parameters for comparison) if I were you would be using a Table Index organized for it. It will take more time to perform the operations insertion, but that is a small part of all the work that you do for this process. For updates, it should eliminate a lot of IO, assuming that you are doing an INDEX seek followed by a table access by ROWID to perform updates. This recommendation assumes that everything you said is true. You have 4 columns in your table, of which 3 are components of the primary key and the 4th is a date (note I did not string :)) and that you refresh mainly, not fit.) Also that you have no 'secondary' on this entity index (and none are needed).

  I would investigate this approach before the solution of temporary table that you are currently studying.

  See you soon,.

• call sub procedure for updating the table - need help

  Hi all
  
  I have a scneario wherein I get three values 0,2.5 and 57.
  For each value, I'll call another procedure that updates a table "sample_dest".
  The "sample_dest" table has a column "dest_nbr."
  
  Now, for each three values I get,
  I want to update only one record in the table 'sample_dest '.
  
  for example, I want to update the column "dest_nbr" with a value of 59.5 (0 + 2.5 + 57).
  
  I am unable to do this, because every time the procedure is called,
  the previous values are not stored. 57 is the last value I get,
  I am able to store only 57. But I want 59.5 to be updated in the table.
  
  How can I achieve this.
  Help, please.
  
  Concerning
  Rambeau.

  This should be done in a single sql statement, not in a loop of cursor (which is what it looks like you're doing). If sample_desc already contains records for samples, so it should look like:

  UPDATE sample_desc sdesc
  SET desc = (SELECT AVG(code) FROM sample_dest sdest
              WHERE sdesc.sample = sdest.sample)
  WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM sample_dest sdest
                WHERE sdesc.sample = sdest.sample)
  

  If sample_desc does not already contain records (unknown from your description), then it would be an insert as:

  INSERT INTO sample_desc
  SELECT sample, AVG(code)
  FROM sample_dest sdest
  GROUP BY sample

  you insert when you need to update.

  also, you use a colon before your variable name - this is not necessary (and indeed incorrect syntax) when you run a pl/sql block

  You should be able to simply:

  update staff
     set sta_salary = sta_salary * 1.1
     WHERE sta_id = staffid;

• Behavior update record server breath error (its share of CS5.5 standard installation!)

  We do not expect that the code provided by a GREAT SOCIETY and CHIEF of TECHNOLOGY for WEB DEVELOPMENT to blow a mistake on one of the server behaviors, it provides as part of its standard installation. But then again, it is reality.  The UpdateRecord.js, located in your Windows 7 installation to... ProgramFiles (x 86(/Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5/configuration/ServerBehaviors/Php_MySQL/UpdateRecord.js causes an error when it is selected from the SERVER BEHAVIORS menu.)  In this case, BEFORE you, I don't enter in the fields.  Error States: "while executing onLoad in UpdateRecord.htm, the following JavaScript error occurred: at line 687 of the file «...»» UpdateRecord.js': name has no property.  I looked at the code and it is beyond my comprehension.  Something about the NAME of a value in a list of nodes... I don't have the chops to go rewrite the code of Adobe.  If I did, I would make a lot of money.  Anyone know what to do about it? On my system: Windows 7, 64 bit, CS5.5 (on a lease is aware) using PHP and MySQL on a remote dedicated server running Apache under Linux.   : <) McFrisco

  OK, I've earned this spanking.  I was just frustrated.  Sorry for the rant.

  I managed to find a workaround on this.  There's really something wacky happening with Dreamweaver and the updated Disk Manager.  Here's what I did:

  How to make a DREAMWEAVER UPDATE RECORD writing.

  Dreamweaver Server for update record behavior doesn't work properly sometimes.  The symptom of this is that when you try to fill the popup form provided by the record of behaviors/setting menu item to update server, it you cannot choose the fields in the form to update the database if they are posted there by a previous page.  It only allows to choose if they are linked to the database.  It does no good, because you're updating a record with information from the database, you want to update, NO new information.  Kind of weird... But here's the way around.  Its a bit annoying but it works.

  1. on a clean, updated php page up a form with input fields corresponding fields of database, you want to update.  This page should be used as the page of RESULT of a form on a page where the update folder does not work because of conflicts, plugins or other unknown reasons.

  2. connect to the table of database that you want to update and put in place a recordset on the page.

  3 bind all the form fields to the correct database fields.

  4 make a behavior update record based on this form.  This in fact will not do anything but update registration with the stuff that's already in the file, as shown above.

  5 remove the php code that sets up the Recordset.  But, LET alone recording update code!  It is correct.

  6 change the bindings of all fields in the FORM to the variables $_POST [] is passed to the form on the previous page. (Make sure that the form of the previous page uses the POST, not the GET method).

  Now, when you submit the form it will go in the form values, which have been adopted since the form on the previous page.

  (1) how the user id can be obtained?
  (2) is it better if I use views instead of tables for this?
  (3) is it possible for each record?

• ORA-20001: DateTrack update not allowed for a record that started today

  Hello
  
  We are working on the package of integration of data for employees in our project and we fail to create the back-end employee by calling hr_employee_api.create_employee.
  
  When we try to update we have a flag that defines datetrack_update_mode as 'UPDATE' flag 'U' and 'CORRECTION' to report as 'C', we call hr_person_api.update_person to add more details of employee.
  
  I'm trying to update an old record flagged as 'U' and to the below error
  
  Error in the API in update employee ORA-20001: DateTrack update not allowed for a record that started today
  Cause: You tried to perform an effective update date of registration which begins the same day.
  Action: Change your mode of DateTrack of correction or to change your date of entry into force.
  
  But I'm trying to update the record with effective date which does not have sysdate and logically I implement to pass the datetrack_update_mode as "UPDATE" fails with the above error.
  
  Pointers on this is much appreciated.
  
  Thanks in advance.
  
  Kind regards
  Rekha.

  OK, so the effective_start_date of the line you are trying to edit is 21/03/2012

  You specify the parameter p_effective_date in 21/03/2012, i.e. the same day!

  So, you cannot use the track date "UPDATE" mode, as the smallest length of the change of the date of the AMT is 1 day. To do this, like Gillies at in an earlier answer, is to use a date-track of "CORRECTION" mode, or use another date for your p_effective_date parameter if it is appropriate.

  When the error message refers to "todays", means in fact "entry into force you have chosen.

  Hope that clarifies things for you.

• OIM11gR2ps2 how to use OID - 11.1.1.6 Connector for updating a user that has been created through LDAPsync?

  Hello

  I have two connectors configuration, a database connector generic to an Oracle database that the provisions of a user account (it works fine). The second connector, I am still getting set up properly is a LDAP connector specifically OID - 11.1.1.6.0.

  Use case:

  A user creates an account through automatic recording and is created simultaneously in OUD ldap with the johnDoe1 username. johnDoe1 connects in IOM and asks an instance of application called DBAccount. They fill out the application in all there information (user ID, fname, lname, phone, address, title, etc.). Once they support demand goes through the necessary approvals and after that it's approved successfully the info is put in service to the database. Once this operation has been successful, I would like to provision an update a users ldap entry that was created in the custom attribute ldapsync is called OUDappusername, this attribute is an attribute with value mutli because if demand for the other apps, they will be updated in the OUD aswell. This OUDappusername will be generated by an event handler or to pre-populate the plugin and the format will be "app |" user name' where app is the app they ask and User_name is the user name they use to connect to the IOM, for example "DBAccount". johnDoe1. If they keep asking other apps they will be updated in the OUDappusername so that they may have DBAccount | johnDoe1 and ask another application called app2, then they will also have app2 | johnDoe1 and so on.

  Is this possible with the connector and how do I set it up to users update rather than set up a new account in the OUD?

  The question:

  I currently have the configuration of connector so whenever I have set up a user creates a new user rather than allow me to simply update a user. It is possible to configure the connector for updating existing users is born through ldapsync, rather than those created through the app instance configuration. I have found no documentation on that.

  Thanks in advance,

  J

  Edit #1 - I changed the wording and added more details.

  Edit #2 - I reworded my question to be more specific and focus on a single issue and changed the title to be more specific.

  Hello

  I just wanted to post what we found the answer. We did not use the connector, but what we did was we created a custom, adapter, which is a small and associated java class then new task in the process definition for the database resource in the console design and we made calls to jndi for the ldap Protocol to update this attribute multivalue. It was very quick and easy and could be tested before the implementation of the IOM. Thanks again for all the help and talk me through the procedures.

  I don't think it's because you have a call to DBMS_LOCK. SLEEP. I think it's just a coincidence because it allows for enough time for you to launch a call for another session. Here's the relevant part of the SQL reference manual:

  Releases all table locks and line acquired from the point of backup. Other operations that have requested access to the lines locked once the save point must continue to wait until the transaction is committed or rolled back. Other operations who have not already requested the lines can request and immediately access lines.

• Why "check for updates... "shows it that there is no update while I use Firefox 3.6.18 and latest version 5.0.1?

  First of all, I would like to state that I have hardly any technical knowledge. So forgive me if this seems like a silly question to professionals. Here are the details about this problem according to the best of my limited knowledge:

  I am currently using Mozilla Firefox 3.6.18; previously, 3.6.13. It was upgrade 3.6.9 3.6.13 after I click on Check for Updates... and he told me that this would be done when I reboot my system. When I restarted my PC, I was surprised to find that it has been downloaded version 3.6.18. I didn't know how she had progressed in the process, so I let him finish. After that, I disabled the option that allows it to download and upgrade to date on its own and turned it off. Next time when I started, it was 3.6.18, but has not been updated on its own.

  Now, I want to upgrade directly to version 5.0.1. But when I leave the option "download and install the update automatically" under Tools > Options > advanced > update, it downloads and updates the versions according to their order of liberation. So if I let it, then when I start it up the next time, he'll start download version 3.6.18 and update to it rather than to directly update 5.0.1. It will continue to do so until it reaches it. For reasons of my own, I don't like that. So I unchecked the option "Download and install the update automatically" and chose the "ask me what I want to do" option (so that it is not repeating the "download and update" process on its own whenever I start my PC). Then I went to the site of Firefox and the thought of downloading and updating to the latest version of my own. But then I was informed that if I do, I have the latest version, but I'll lose all my favorites registered unless I followed a procedure hectic in order to save and load them again after you have installed the latest version of Firefox. I won't let that happen either. So someone can get out of this situation suggests without losing my favorites?

  Almost forgot. I tried several times by going to help > Check For Updates..., but each time he returned to the same result: "there is no update. Firefox periodically checks the updates. "How is it no update is available, while the version I use is 3.6.18 and the latest version is 5.0.1? In short, Check for Updates... has not helped either. (Even though I have updated the last time, shouldn't it have updated to version 3.6.13 to 5.0.1 directly?)

  So, can anyone suggest a way in which I don't lose my favorites and would be able to upgrade to the latest version directly too? A response that would not involve the removal of the current version and install the most recent, but to update directly to it (it is fine if it needs to download) would be more welcome. I know that bookmarks can be saved in a file and everything, but I would like to know if it is possible, as has happened for my current version of the previous version. (He downloaded and updated itself on its own, disturb nothing, not even myself connected on some accounts where I stay connected.) The only problem there is that he wasn't directly updated to the latest version.)

  I hope that the above details of sense and are pretty useful for others to help me. Thank you.

  No need to transfer bookmarks and settings to the new version as a new version of Firefox will use the last profile you used unless you check otherwise. You can always save your profile in the case.

  The Firefox 5.0 would be the same.
