• Select statement will not accept that so informed data date picker

  In my report source region, I have the following. It works but sometimes the user want to have all the dates of: P20_XXD and: P20_DD2
  But the report doesn't give you anything if you don't fill in the date two pickers.
  
  
  
  
  Select
  incident_id,
  incident_type,
  status,
  ccb_identifier,
  last_name,
  DBMS_LOB.substr("PROBLEM_TITLE",4000,1) "PROBLEM_TITLE"
  DBMS_LOB.substr("PROBLEM_DESCRIPTION",4000,1) "PROBLEM_DESCRIPTION"

  where "INCIDENT_TYPE" as: P20_LIST_INCIDENT_TYPE
  and (CREATE_DATEX > = TO_DATE(:P20_XDD,'DD/MM/YYYY'))
  and CREATE_DATEX < = TO_DATE (: P20_DD2,' DD/MM/YYYY ""))

  If the values of the selectors of dates are not supplied then the values null that results do not meet the date comparison predicate. NULL values must be replaced by default appropriate, for example by using the nvl function:

  select
  incident_id,
  incident_type,
  status,
  ccb_identifier,
  last_name,
  dbms_lob.substr("PROBLEM_TITLE",4000,1) "PROBLEM_TITLE",

• Why this parallel DML statement is not run as fast as DBMS_PARALLEL_EXECUTE?

  Hello

  I'm on the database Oracle Enterprise Edition, Linux RH 11.2.0.3. I have a pl/sql function that accepts a sdo_geometry (essentially an object with a few varrays), round each number in one of the varrays and retransmits the object.  Here is a version of the function, simplified slightly for brevity:

  create or replace round_coordinates (p_geometry in sdo_geometry, p_round_factor in numbers)

  return sdo_geometry parallel_enable

  is

  sdo_geometry v_geometry: = p_geometry;

  v_ordinates sdo_ordinate_array;

  Start

  v_ordinates: = p_geometry.sdo_ordinates;

  for me in v_ordinates.first... loop of v_ordinates. Last

  v_ordinates (i): = round (v_ordinates (i), p_round_factor);

  end loop;

  Return sdo_geometry (v_geometry.sdo_gtype, v_geometry.sdo_srid, v_geometry.sdo_point, v_geometry.sdo_elem_info, v_ordinates);

  end round_coordinates;

  /

  I need to perform this function as an update DML on hundreds of millions of sdo_geometry objects and according to my estimates it will take weeks.  So, I want to run in parallel.

  The data is in a bunch of tables, some with lines of k ~ 100 more with millions of people.  My preference is to browse the tables and run an update such as:

  Update < table > set geometry = round_coordinates (geometry);

  But I would like to operate in parallel, so I thought that I would allow the DML parallel to the session with

  ALTER session enable parallel dml.

  ALTER table < table > parallel;

  , and then run the update by: Update / * + parallel * / < table > set geometry = round_coordinates (geometry);

  When I do that, I can see a v$ px_session 16 parallel slaves are bent and the plan of the explanation is the following:
  

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  | ID | Operation | Name | Lines | Bytes | Cost (% CPU). Time |    TQ | IN-OUT | PQ Distrib.

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  |   0 | UPDATE STATEMENT.             | 10000 |   468K |    43 (0) | 00:00:01 |        |      |            |

  |   1.  UPDATE | SMALL_10000 |       |       |            |          |        |      |            |

  |   2.   COORDINATOR OF PX |             |       |       |            |          |        |      |            |

  |   3.    PX SEND QC (RANDOM). : TQ10000 | 10000 |   468K |    43 (0) | 00:00:01 |  Q1 00 | P > S | QC (RAND) |

  |   4.     ITERATOR BLOCK PX |             | 10000 |   468K |    43 (0) | 00:00:01 |  Q1 00 | ISSUE |            |

  |   5.      TABLE ACCESS FULL | SMALL_10000 | 10000 |   468K |    43 (0) | 00:00:01 |  Q1 00 | SVCP |            |

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  But the update statement on my test data set does not any more quickly - it takes a few seconds more series that suggests General fresh extra expectations for the management of parallel slaves that's happened, but they did not have the query run faster.

  
  I tried to use the dbms_parallel_execute with the create_chunks_by_rowid option package and parallel_level = 16 With that I get at the end just over 1/16th of the time that it takes to run in series!

  That's fine, so I have the option dbms_parallel_execute, but I would like to understand why the query with the parallel flag does not expedite things.

  Any ideas?

  Thank you

  John

  It may be that the call to the PL/SQL function slows down things. Did you think to do in pure SQL?

  Here is an example:

  update test_sdo tsd
     set tsd.geometry.sdo_ordinates =
         (select cast(collect(round(t2.column_value)) as sdo_ordinate_array)
            from test_sdo t1
                ,table(t1.geometry.sdo_ordinates) t2
           where t1.id = tsd.id)

  BTW: You can parallelize the query part of the SQL but not updating, it's documentation:

  "Parallel DML can be done on tables with columns object provided that the columns of the object are not accessible."

  Do you mean by using subqueries?

  Something like

   update whatever
      set (column, column) = (select column, column ...)

• Formatting for a select statement

  I am trying to include formatting in a select statement.
  
  The data, I'm pulling compared to the SSN for a unique value. The problem is that the SSN is formatted with dashes in a table and not in the other.
  
  Example:
  
  
  Table 1
  Name SSN
  John 400-30-8745
  Mary 348-00-4093
  
  
  
  Table 2
  Name SSN
  John 400308745
  Mary 348004093
  
  
  
  What I would do is:
  
  Select * into Table1, Table2 where table1.ssn = table2.ssn
  
  However, I am unable to do so due to the formatting.
  
  Thxs!

  It will not replace the data in the database because it is a SELECT statement and not a DML (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) statement. You can also consider putting a function based on this column in table1 index to facilitate this request. However, it depends on many factors and because we do not know the versions, estimated use, how many times the table is updated, etc., we can say with certainty whether this can help or not. An example would be:

  CREATE INDEX TABLE1_SSN_FBIDX ON TABLE1(REPLACE(SSN,'-'))
  

• SELECT the view queries do not run unless the shared_pool hot flashes

  Hello

  Need some urgent advice

  We have a system that we are trying to run a simple select statement on a view (nested).

  in a first time - it gives a result in less than a second. After that, it takes an hour.

  Flushing the shared_pool, she will run again in less then a second... and then again an hour.

  flushes of heat if the shared_pool will solve it for a single run.

  I have already increased the shared_pool and it did not help... linux db system is 11.2.0.3.

• Popup LOV selected the value not in session state

  I have a pop LOV element on a page in my application.  Once the item has been selected in the list presented, I would like to use as part of a select statement.  Select statement failed.  It turns out that the value I want the popup THAT LOV is not being saved in session state, so of course the select statement fails.  I determine this by clicking on the session menu item in the developer bar - the item itself presents itself, but the value is empty.

  What would cause a popup LOV value choice not finish by in session state, and how do I make sure he gets there?

  Thank you!

  If you need the value in a SQL report, you can just set "Elements of Page to submit" in your report to your LOV element definition. Otherwise, create a dynamic fire action when your LOV is changed with a set of pl/sql null process action; then set Page elements to send to your LOV element.

  Alternatively you could do it manually with your own function/Manager javascript using the '$s' Apex API by creating a dynamic action that JavaScript is triggered then the loading of the page:

  $("#PXX_YOUR_LOV").on('change',function(){
    var getValue=$(this).val();
    $s('PXX_YOUR_LOV', getValue);
    });
  

  Changing the value in LOV only updates the HTML code, the element must be submitted to the server so that the value that will be put in session state. The gurus can explain more, but the above methods are what I use depending on the situation.

  see you soon,

• SQL select statements

  Hey everybody,

  First of all, Yes, I searched through the 8.5 database schema guide.  As I went through the scheme, I've developed some ideas on how to collect the data you want.  However, if someone has already developed or found the SQL statements (which I'm sure that someone already has) it would help by reducing to the minimum of the buggs in my data collection program.

  All these statistics must be grouped by CSQ and selected for a certain time interval ( and ).  That is, levels of 1 hour.  I have no problem to get a list of results and then perform v.f. to achieve the desired final result.  Also, if I need to run several select statements for tables of essentially two join, please include two statements.  Finally, I saw the RtCSQsSummary table, but I need to collect data for the past, not at this time.

  1 total calls presented by the CSQ

  2. total number of calls answered by the CSQ

  3 total number of calls abandoned by the CSQ

  4. percentage of calls abandoned by CSQ (if it is not stored in the database, I think: /)

  5. average abandon time in seconds (if it is not stored in the DB, I think: sum () /)

  6. service level - % calls answered in 90 seonds by a set of skills (I have seen metServiceLevel in the ContactQueueDetail table; however, I need to find how to configure this threshold for application)

  7. average speed of response by CSQ

  8 average conversation by CSQ calls

  9. the aggregates connected full-time resources or agents CSQ

  10. resources/agents of CSQ ready time

  I realize that some of them should be easy to find (as I always am search in the guide of db schema), but I was reading how a new record is created for each step of the call so I could easily see how I could get inaccurate information without properly developed select statements.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Brendan,

  I read your message very well.

  You have the schema of database with tables and description. each table has its associated tables (connected with primary and foreign keys). I think you should start the tables to determine what you need.

  Cisco uses the stored procedure to prepare the reports. the stored procedure is 'sp_csq_interval' to create the report.

• Skip and capture the Oracle SQL record dirty in a select statement

  Hello

  I have the Oracle Oracle 11.2.0.4 database when I run a select query.

  Question:

  10 columns have given Date format. When I try to execute this query into a FROG he says, a month not valid. Since the records are billion in nature, I am not able to know which line has this problem.

  Is there a way I can capture the failed row and add it to other tables and continues with the select statement regardless of this error

  OK, you have several TO_DATE functions fed a string that is built on the fly.  At least part of the time, the chain that is built does not match the date format mask used.

  For example:

  TO_DATE (SUBSTR (TO_CHAR (SQ_W_PURCH_CYCLNS_ORA. LAST_SUBMITTED_ON_DTTM_WID), 0, 8). » -'|| SUBSTR (TO_CHAR (SQ_W_PURCH_CYCLNS_ORA. (LAST_SUBMITTED_ON_DTTM_WID), 9, 6), "YYYYMMDD-HH24MISS")

  "SQ_W_PURCH_CYCLNS_ORA. LAST_SUBMITTED_ON_DTTM_WID' does not have a string where characters 5-6 are in the range 01-12.  You'll have to do an analysis on this column.  From its data and how that is managed by to_char.  What ARE the data type of ' SQ_W_PURCH_CYCLNS_ORA. LAST_SUBMITTED_ON_DTTM_WID' and what is a typical value?

  As others have said, this is simply an impossibility for a column of a table to actually have invalid month (or day, or year, or hour or minute or second).  ONLY, you get this error during the conversion of a string to a date with the TO_DATE function.

• DDL lock on the object in a SELECT statement?

  Environment:

  Oracle 11.2.0.4 EE on Solaris

  My client called me when she was trying to create a new index on a table and the process was just hanging.  Also, she was not able to DELETE an existing index on the same table, which deal with hang them as well.

  After reviewing the advice DBA_DDL_LOCKS, I found a DDL lock on the target of the index table.

  The DDL lock is held by a process doing a SELECT on the table and this process worked for several hours.

  There was no entry in V$ LOCKED_OBJECTS for the table.

  I don't know, yet, what other operations prior to the SELECT statement in the offending process, I have not heard of the user yet.

  I realize a DDL lock is placed on objects to prevent changes while specific operations are directed against this object, i.e. the DROP, UPDATE, compile the PACKAGE, etc.

  Question: Is a select also place a DDL lock on a table at a level that would avoid a new index is created or an existing index having fallen?

  Thank you very much for your comments!

  Any reference to the resolution is greatly appreciated.

  I searched some Concepts Developers Guide, SQL, even Google reference Guide.

  > My question is now, this lock persists for the duration of the running query?

  Easy enough to show that it is not.

  Session1:

  SQL> create table foo(bar number);     
  
  Table created.                         
  
  SQL> insert into foo values(1);       
  
  1 row created.                         
  
  SQL> commit;                           
  
  Commit complete.                       
  
  SQL> variable x refcursor
  SQL> variable a number
  SQL> begin
    2  open :X for select bar from foo;
    3  end;
    4  /                                 
  
  PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
  

  Session 2:

  SQL> drop table foo;
  
  Table dropped.     
  

  Note that I was able to remove the table even if select is still 'in progress' - the cursor is open.

  If you really want to blow your mind, go back to the session 1:

  SQL> begin
    2  fetch :X into :a;
    3  end;
    4  /                                
  
  PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
  
  SQL> print a                          
  
           A
  ----------
           1       
  

  The picture has gone, but I can always look for him. However, try again:

  SQL> /
  begin
  *
  ERROR at line 1:
  ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
  ORA-00942: table or view does not exist          
  

  Note that the forum software is stupid. is: followed by x. seems it's really important to have a smiley to lovey eyes in a technical forum.

  Edit - and when you format the SQL code, it is removed completely and render invisible... silly.

  I edited my code to use: X and the problem disappeared...
