• Rename the table with sys 11 g

  Hi all

  Prior to Oracle 11 g and Oracle 10 g (I think) we can rename a table like this:

  (with the user sys):

  alter table SCOTT. Rename ancien_nom NewName;

  I mean the user SYS might rename a table from another schema (for example, SCOTT)

  Now, (oracle 11g) when I try to rename a table with the user SYS to another schema, it shows me:

  SQL> conn sys as sysdba
  Enter password:
  Connected.
  SQL> rename table plantest.PEMVX_AFEPRE_ESP to PEMVX_AFEPRE_ESP_old;
  rename table plantest.PEMVX_AFEPRE_ESP to PEMVX_AFEPRE_ESP_old
         *
  ERROR at line 1:

                                        *
  ERROR at line 1:
  ORA-01735: invalid ALTER TABLE option
  
  
  
  
  SQL>
  

  I read the documentation and the only way (as much, I know) rename table is that the user PLANTEST be connected to the database and rename the table. I mean, only the table owner can rename?

  Please, how can I rename ANY table of my database with the user SYS or SYSTEM?

  Thank you

  chijar,

  Please user query,

  Use the ALTER TABLE RENAME command:
  
   SQL> ALTER TABLE . RENAME TO ; 
  

  This is the keyword to rename mising is why you receive error below.

  1. SQL > alter table plantest. PEMVX_AFEPRE_ESP to PEMVX_AFEPRE_ESP_old;
  2. ALTER table plantest. PEMVX_AFEPRE_ESP to PEMVX_AFEPRE_ESP_old

  1 names must be between 1 and 30 characters long.
  2. the names must begin with a letter.
  3. it must contain only A - Z, a - z, 0-9, _, $, and the #. You are strongly
  not recommended to use $ and #.
  4. the names are not case sensitive, unless they are created by double-quotes.

  My goal is to create indexes on/employee/departments/department/departmentWings/departmentWing/name.

  7 COLLECTION_TABLE_NAME = > 'DEPTWING_TABLE '.
  (8);
  9 END;
  10.
  
  PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
  
  If the procedure has said that it has completed successfully, I couldn't see the created DEPTWING_TABLE.
  
  SQL > DEPTWING_TABLE DESC;
  ERROR:
  ORA-04043: object DEPTWING_TABLE does not exist
  
  I am left helpless. Can someone please?

  Hello

  First of all, are you sure that the nested tables generated during the registration of the scheme?

  You must annotate the schema with xdb:storeVarrayAsTable = 'true' and use the option genTables-online true for registration.
  Then you should see something like this:

  SQL> select table_name, table_type_name, parent_table_name, parent_table_column
    2  from user_nested_tables
    3  ;

  In addition, according to the manual (xdb_easeofuse_tools.pdf):

  For Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) and above, this function accepts only, XPath
  the rating as a dotted notation. If the XPath notation is used, a setting of namespaces

• Rename the table require re-run the stats?

  OS: OEL (last) 64-bit
  DB: 11 GR 1 material
  
  I need to create a copy of a large table A in production (call of the new table B). The data are the same, but the physical layout of the tables is different (different partitioning scheme is used between table A and B).
  When I go to move table B to replace table A (which will be eventually abandoned), should I raise his stats on table B?
  
  It's
  (1) table to become A_OLD
  (2) table B becomes table A
  
  I have to raise its stats on table A in step (2)? Is there something else that needs to be done?
  (I do this to limit the impact to the GUI that uses this table - the name of the final table does not change so the GUI should not be affected).
  
  See you soon!

  user601798 wrote:
  Yes, I have to raise his stats on the 'new' A table even if it has the same data and the name (after renaming) but different partitioning scheme (physical model)? It seems to me that the answer would be 'yes '.
  Otherwise, not the optimizer does not fail to recognize the new partitioning?

  (1) Board toys (all data) and table Toys_New (empty)
  (2) the Toys_New table is loaded with toys data table (the two tables have the same data - only difference is partitioning)
  (2) the toys table is renamed table Toys_Old (this will be served at a later date)
  (4) table Toys_New is renamed table Toys

  And I was thinking - I forgot to talk about first-hand - Toys_New will have the same indexes, but of course the clues will have unique names from toys (to avoid the error "object already exists".

  Given that the last note, I am convinced more than stats must be run on Toys_New after step (4)

  See you soon!

  Yes, you must.

  Name of your new table is 'Toys', but this new table is totally different than the old toys. If you need to analyze the table again.

• Disadvantages to rename a table?

  Hello

  I don't know if there will be no problem. If you rename the table t1 to t2 constraints pointing to t1 will now be at t2. Even if you rename the table t3 to t1, don't expect the constraints on the earlier t1 table which has been renamed t2 to work with the new table t1. The table will bring its own indexes and constraints.

  You must rename the table (using ALTER TABLE TableName RENAME to othername ;) before creating the MV.
  You cannot have both existing with the same name in the same schema.

  What you see in the scheme of GQ, is that the 'picture' is the underlying table for the materialized view.
  When you do a MY_MV CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW AS...
  Oracle creates two objects with the same name, we the MY_MV materialized view, and the other being the MY_MV table, which is the physical storage. {Don't forget that a materialized view is a way to get a physical representation of views.}

  In the schema QQ is what you
  a. a real Table
  or
  b. a MV incorrectly deleted, resulting in the underlying Table always presents.

• How can I change the tables

  I have an app that is finished and now says the ADMIN I have to rename all the tables.
  What I have to redo the entire application?

  Hello

  I have never renamed a few items and found it easier to do an export of the application and then go through the sql file to identify the pages that were the elements, and then go to each page and change the appropriate objects. It could be that you might actually updated the export file itself and then re - import. You will need to ensure that you only replace the table names and allow for the fact that the export file may contain table names spread over two lines - you then to import into a new application id (just in case!)

  Another suggestion, perhaps, would be to rename the tables and then create using the original names of synonyms?

• Rename tables and columns in sql running that accessing these columns in the table.

  Hello

  Using oracle 11.2.0.3

  We want to rename columns, tables and work just a sql scripts for this.

  If sqls who have access to those running long tables/columns for example reports what is happening

  Existing sql running, will work perfectly in that picked up sql before table/colum rename or will they crash if tables/columns renamed during them.

  scripts wil take a few seconds to run maximum

  Thank you

  The only other activity that would go on select is against these tables/columns. No etl isnert/update/delete etc wil, which happened during the name change.

  Only possible activities are report instructions srunning select.

  Tried to run a long selection and rename that select while that was going on and got no error on the test system.

  This is because certain statements does not place locks on tables or lines, so even if a session is reading data, another session can make some ddl (or dml) manipulation.

  In this situation (with only selects, no other dml queries), renaming can be done, but the question remains, what the application code?

  If it refers to old column names after name change operation, is no good.

• Name of the table mistakenly renamed

  Hello
  
  I've migrated a MySQL existing database to the oracle database.
  MySQL database had a few tables and columns with length > 30, as oracle does not support the length > 30 so it automatically renamed length 30 characters by removing the last characters who are after 30 characters, but today, I found a column of names that are renamed as
  

  All following columns are in single table only
  
  surgey_pa_premedication_detail_dosa renamed to SURGEY_PA_PREMEDICATION_DETAIL (which is quiet right) 
  But
  surgey_pa_premedication_detail_id renamed to SURGEY_PA_PREMEDICATION_DE_730
  surgey_pa_premedication_detail_route renamed to SURGEY_PA_PREMEDICATION_DE_731
  surgey_pa_premedication_detail_type renamed to SURGEY_PA_PREMEDICATION_DE_732

  Thanx

  Oracle was smarter than you think.

  Could not truncate all the columns to 30characters because the first 30characters of each column are exactly the same. Truncation to 30characters would result in the same column name repeats another three times.

  Thus, he executed the only for the first coumn truncate. For the following columns, he 26characters are truncated and added strings of 4 distinct characters.

  You will need to rename the columns yourself to more meaningful names.

• Rename the name of the table dynamically in a loop

  Hi all
  
  It might not be the best solution, but it is a starting point for me. I have tables: x1_old, x2_old... x1_new, x2_new...
  When I receive new tables, it's x 1, x 2... You need 3 things:
  1 x1_old, x2_old must be removed
  2 x1_new, x2_new must be renamed to x1_old, x2_old
  3 x 1, x 2 tables can be renamed to x1_new, x2_new.
  
  I hope this makes sense.
  
  I managed to drop the tables dynamically(step 1). But impossible to apply a similar approach to rename (step 2 and 3).
  
  Following the code gives an error: ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
  
  DECLARE

• Renaming / deletion model leaves the table

  Hello
  
  When you use OracleUtils to rename a model, table, on which the model is based remains the same.
  I don't know whether the expected behavior, but it raises a question.
  
  Lets say a template has been created through before ModelOracleSem with the name of 'Test '. A table "Test_tpl" was also created.
  Then, you call:
  OracleUtils.renameModel (oracle, "Test", "Test2");
  
  The model is renamed successfully, but the underlying table is 'test_tpl '.
  The problem is that if you try to create a new template called "Test" through ModelOracleSem.createOracleSemModel, it fails with the following result:
  java.sql.SQLException: none of these RDF models: TEST
  at oracle.spatial.rdf.client.jena.GraphOracleSem.retrieveModelId(GraphOracleSem.java:1889)
  to oracle.spatial.rdf.client.jena.GraphOracleSem. < init > (GraphOracleSem.java:1074)
  to oracle.spatial.rdf.client.jena.GraphOracleSem. < init > (GraphOracleSem.java:705)
  to oracle.spatial.rdf.client.jena.GraphOracleSem. < init > (GraphOracleSem.java:528)
  at oracle.spatial.rdf.client.jena.ModelOracleSem.createOracleSemModel (ModelOracleSem.java:75)
  
  I used the following workaround solution:
  
  OracleUtils.renameModel (oracle, oldModelName, newModelName);
  oracle.executeSQL ("RENAME" + oldModelName + "_TPL OF" + newModelName + "_TPL");
  
  But how can I be sure that the underlying table is indeed oldModelName_TPL?
  
  Thank you
  Concerning
  
  Julien

  Hi Julien,

  This is the expected behavior. The main reason is that, as a general rule, there is no clear correlation between the application table name and the name of the model. However, in the adapter Jena, unless otherwise stated in the GraphOracleSem constructor, the table name is given as [NomModele] _TPL (same with the table names: _NS [NomModele]).

  So, if you use the Jena adaptor, your solution is very good - I would recommend renaming the namespace table as well.

  Also, you can use the GraphOracleSem.getApplicationTableName () function before you rename it for sure.

  Kind regards
