• get the table script using dbms_metadata.get_ddl but with clob field

  Thus, Oracle 11g R2...
  I use dbms_metadata.get_ddl for table scripts and it works fine...
  
  now, I have a table with clob field, and it does not work... I got an error "missing a closing parenthesis (ora-0907) '...
  I could paste a script I had, but I don't think that it makes no sense...
  
  does anyone have an experience on the use of this package on clob tables?

  See this code.

  DECLARE
    myddl clob;
    PROCEDURE print_clob(p_clob in clob) as
      l_offset number default 1;
    BEGIN
      loop
        exit when l_offset > dbms_lob.getlength(p_clob);
        dbms_output.put_line(dbms_lob.substr(p_clob, 255, l_offset));
        l_offset := l_offset + 255;
      end loop;
    END print_clob;
    FUNCTION get_metadata return clob is
      h   number;
      th  number;
      doc clob;
    BEGIN
      h := dbms_metadata.open('TABLE');
      dbms_metadata.set_filter(h, 'SCHEMA', 'HR');
      dbms_metadata.set_filter(h, 'NAME', 'EMPLOYEES');
      th := dbms_metadata.add_transform(h, 'MODIFY');
      th := dbms_metadata.add_transform(h, 'DDL');
      --dbms_metadata.set_transform_param(th,'SEGMENT_ATTRIBUTES',false);
      doc := dbms_metadata.fetch_clob(h);
      dbms_metadata.CLOSE(h);
      return doc;
    END get_metadata;
  BEGIN
    myddl := get_metadata;
    print_clob(myddl);
  END;
  

  This procedure of print_ddl I took of the documentation.
  Use of the long VALUE. See, in the first example out put is truncated.

• Another question about dbms_metadata.get_ddl

  Hello
  
  Recorded in as 'sys as sysdba' I tried to get the DDL for the EMP table in the SCOTT schema. Here is the output I got:
  

    1* select scott.dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE', 'EMP') from dual
  SQL> /
  select scott.dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE', 'EMP') from dual
         *
  ERROR at line 1:
  ORA-00904: "SCOTT"."DBMS_METADATA"."GET_DDL": invalid identifier

  Remove the reference to SCOTT, we get another error (no surprise):
  

  ORA-31603: object "EMP" of type TABLE not found in schema "SYS"

  Question: How the ADMINISTRATOR bring the DDL for a table without having to sign in as a user that owns the schema?
  
  Thank you
  
  John.

  He must inform the owner of this object when running DBMS_METADATA of SYS.

  If we describe DBMS_METADATA

  FUNCTION GET_DDL RETURNS CLOB
   Argument Name                  Type                    In/Out Default?
   ------------------------------ ----------------------- ------ --------
   OBJECT_TYPE                    VARCHAR2                IN
   NAME                           VARCHAR2                IN
   SCHEMA                         VARCHAR2                IN     DEFAULT
   VERSION                        VARCHAR2                IN     DEFAULT
   MODEL                          VARCHAR2                IN     DEFAULT
   TRANSFORM                      VARCHAR2                IN     DEFAULT
  

  So there must be another SCHEMA parameter when running DBMS_METADATA of SYS.

• grant dbms_metadata.get_ddl wanted

  Hi all! I need help. I want to get in clob a ddl of an object. What I am doing wrong?

  This who should I agree with tom that he can get atleast its own objects ddl?
  
  Thanks in advance.

  Instead of DBA_constraints you can use USER_CONSTRAINTS and see how it works

  create or replace procedure tomkyte.buildConstraint(
  cons_name varchar2,
  cons_owner varchar2,
  cons_new_owner varchar2) AS
  
  stat clob;
  e varchar2(4000);
  var varchar2(300);
  begin
  select DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('*CONSTRAINT*',cons_name,cons_owner) into stat from dual;
  dbms_output.put_line(stat);
  end;
  

  Try to replace the CONSTRAINT by REF_CONSTRAINT

• How to call dbms_metadata.get_ddl of ODP?

  This package function returns a CLOB.
  
  Whenever I call it, I get the error ORA-22275.

  Hi Enzo,

  Have you run my code CORRECT, exactly as planned?

  It's just that I look back on your original post that looks like you can add parameters in the right order. ODP is BindByPosition, so you must ensure that the Clob gets first instruction executed ultimately added to the collection will be something like start: 1: = dbms_metadata.get_ddl (: 2:3.. etc).

  If I intentionally add parameters to the collection in the wrong order, 22275 results. If happens?

• On DBMS_Metadata.Get_DDL

  I'm curios to know why Oracle does not always provide a feature which would export the script to create table without name of the tablespace, PCT, double qoutes. It should give the script table, indexes and constraints of the scripts so that if someone is running this script on another schema it should create the necessary table directly.

• Parameter DBMS_METADATA. GET_DDL out of materialized views

  Hi all.
  My version of Oracle's 10g.
  
  I am extracting DDL for all database objects using the DBMS_METADATA package. I use SET_TRANSFORM_PARAM to configure the output because I need a sql code simple, without information about the attributes of storage spaces, storage and segment. Everything works well except when I work with mviews object types. I can't remove the information about the attributes of the tablespace, storage or segment for materialized views.
  
  I would like to know if there is a problem related to this topic. Or there is something missing in my code?
  
  I tried to specify the type of object such as another parameter on DBMS_METADATA. SET_TRANSFORM_PARAM but not work too.
  The only parameter transform that works very well with materialized views is the SQLTERMINATOR.
  
  ------
  See how I did:
  
  declare
  CLOB vDDL;
  Start
  DBMS_METADATA.SET_TRANSFORM_PARAM (DBMS_METADATA. SESSION_TRANSFORM 'STORAGE', FALSE);
  DBMS_METADATA.SET_TRANSFORM_PARAM (DBMS_METADATA. SESSION_TRANSFORM, 'TABLESPACE', FALSE);
  DBMS_METADATA.SET_TRANSFORM_PARAM (DBMS_METADATA. SESSION_TRANSFORM, "SEGMENT_ATTRIBUTES", FALSE);
  DBMS_METADATA.SET_TRANSFORM_PARAM (DBMS_METADATA. SESSION_TRANSFORM 'SQLTERMINATOR', TRUE);
  
  Select dbms_metadata.get_ddl ('MATERIALIZED_VIEW', 'MV_STO020', 'HIS117_CHECK') in vDDL FROM DUAL;
  dbms_output.put_line (vDDL);
  end;

  I added AND SUBOBJECT_NAME IS NULL since, for example, partitioned tables/index/lob will have several lines in DBA_OBJECTS - one line per object itself with the name of subobject null + a real line by partition with name of subobject.

• Question about SELECT DBMS_METADATA. GET_DDL

  Hello
  
  In reading the other posts, I found this interesting statement:
  

  SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TABLE','TABLE_NAME') FROM DUAL;

  I thought it would be useful. When I tried as user SCOTT, the result I got is 'incomplete', as shown below:
  

  SQL> select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE', 'EMP') from dual;
  
  DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TABLE','EMP')
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  
    CREATE TABLE "SCOTT"."EMP"
     (    "EMPNO" NUMBER(4,0),
          "ENAME" VARCHAR2(10),
  
  
  SQL> describe emp;
   Name                                      Null?    Type
   ----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
  
   EMPNO                                     NOT NULL NUMBER(4)
   ENAME                                              VARCHAR2(10)
   JOB                                                VARCHAR2(9)
   MGR                                                NUMBER(4)
   HIREDATE                                           DATE
   SAL                                                NUMBER(7,2)
   COMM                                               NUMBER(7,2)
   DEPTNO                                             NUMBER(2)
  
  SQL> select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE', 'DEPT') from dual;
  
  DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TABLE','DEPT')
  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  
    CREATE TABLE "SCOTT"."DEPT"
     (    "DEPTNO" NUMBER(2,0),
          "DNAME" VARCHAR2(14
  
  
  SQL>

  looks like the function smothered in half way through.
  
  Question: No idea why GET_DDL did not return all DDL for tables above?
  
  I thought that maybe it was a question of the privileges of the user, so I tried to sys as sysdba, then he tried to find EMP in SYS (which is obviously not there). How the ADMINISTRATOR bring the DDL for a table without having to sign in as a user that owns the schema?
  
  Thank you for your help,
  
  John.

  You need to set the LONG and LONGCHUNKSIZE parameters to sql * higher level for a complete result.

• DBMS_METADATA. GET_DDL / materialized view

  I can use something like "select dbms_metadata.get_ddl (< object_Type >, < object_Name >) of double" to get the ddl for tables, views, etc. ; However, this doesn't seem to work for me now for the 11.1.0.7.0 version. What should I do to recover the ddl of a materialized view?

  Œuvres:

  SELECT dbms_metadata.get_ddl('MATERIALIZED_VIEW', 'V_CUSTOMER')
  FROM dual;
  

  Does not work:

  SELECT dbms_metadata.get_ddl('MATERIALIZED VIEW', 'V_CUSTOMER')
  FROM dual;
  

  Even for the other types-word-2: "PACKAGE_BODY" is correct, and "BODY of PACKAGE" is not correct.

• DBMS_METADATA. GET_DDL is back NOCOMPRESS, NOLOGGING etc.

  How can the NOCOMPRESS and ' NLS_CALENDAR = GREGORIAN "(et parfois NOLOGGING) clause can be avoided in the exit plese?"

  Try to use the function REPLACE

  SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE(DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TABLE', 'MY_TEST', 'SCOTT'),
                         'NOCOMPRESS',
                         NULL),
