Datatype Modification For Table With Huge Data
Aug 11, 2011
Below is my requirement.
Need to change the precision of a column in a existing table. Statistics about the table
* has over 130 columns
* More than 300 million records
* Column to modify is #121 which has data
* No primary key defined
Since the column has data, it is not possible to modify with a simple Alter.
Second option - create temp column in same table, update from original, put null in original, alter, update back from temp, drop the temp column. This approach is very expensive and time consuming.
Also the Column ID needs to preserved as #121.

I have 2 questions, because they can be inter-related I am posting it in a single post. These queries are related to Oracle(PLSQL).
1. I am trying to increase the size of a field in a table which has almost 2 million records and the query for alteration runs for almost and hour and rollsback, wondering is there a better way of doing it.
2. I have modified the size of a field in a table from Varchar2(10) to Varchar2(20), now when I tried to rollback the modification it is not letting me to change the size from Varchar2(20) to Varchar2(10). No data has been inserted after the modification.

As there are huge number of records in the POSITION table ...its taking for ever to execute this query.

Here is my problem, i need to create some files with my own format(let say 5000 records each) from a huge data table (May contain 5 Million records). And i want this creation to be multi threaded.
so how can i form queries efficiently to fetch records like 1..5000 and 5001..10000 and so on. I can form some thing like select * from table where rownum<5000 and not exists ( already fetched records) . but it is not the efficient one.

I'm currently working on a project which is to archive the old data and then purge the same data from the main table.
Here is a detail description:
There are around 50 odd tables from which I would need to archive the old data(matching certain filter conditions...not date based). Meaning I have to store the data in a temp table. Once stored in temp table then I would have to delete those rows from the main table. This temp table will be later exported and stored on ARchive database(a seperate database). These tables are very huge. One of the table is actually 250 GB in size. And all these tables have many indexes built - both normal and bitmap.The 250 GB size table has 40 million rows that need to be archived and purged. The total number of rows in the table are 540 million.On this table alone there are 50 bitmap indexes and 2 normal indexes. This table is partitioned based on date column.This date column is not used/useful in identifying the old data. There are around 20 tables which are quite similar in size to the above described table. Rest of them are little small when compared to the above table.
We have to execute this activity over a weekend which gives us about 48 hours time to complete the activity. Best possible ways to handle this activity. Most importantly should be able to complete the activity within the specified 48 hour window.
The solution what we are now thinking of is:
1. Create the temp table ---Create tmp_tbl as select * from main_table where <<conidtions identifying old data>>
2. Once the temp table is created. Make copy of indexes that exist on the main table and eventually drop them.
3. Execute a PL/SQL script to perform the bulk delete from main table and commit for every 100000 rows.
4. Once the bulk delete is finished then recreate the indexes on the main table using the copy made at earlier step.
Our main worry is about the step#4. Considering the size of these tables and the number of indexes to be built,we are not sure how long the index re-creation will run for each table.
depending on the possibilities we may have to split the activity in to 2-3 phases spreading across 2-3 weekends. Even then we are not sure whether we will be able to pull off this activity.
The database we are using is Oracle 10g.

I have table which contains huge data. around 12 lakhs records. when I use sum function on accountname and docdate it gives wrong value. once I restart the server it gives the correct value. one or two days it gives correct value after that again I get the same problem. If I restart again it gives correct value.
I use Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 64 bit server on Linux.

I am trying to drop a column from a huge partitioned table (non compressed including partitions). I am working on 11gR2 database for information.
i used below approach
1. alter table <tab_name> set t1 unused column;
2. alter table <tab_name> drop unused columns;
then i got the below error message
ORA-39726: unsupported add/drop column operation on compressed tables
First statement did work i could be able to add another column with the same name but still don't want the unused column on the table.

Consider tables A,B,C,D,E,F. all are having 100000++ records Tables B,C,D are dependent on table A (with foreign key constraint). When I am deleting records from all tables, table B,C,D are taking max 30-40 seconds while table A is taking 30-40 mins. All tables are having indexes.
Method I have used:
1. Created Temp table
2. then deleted all records from B,C,D,E,F for all records in temp table for limit of 500.
delete from B where exists (select 1 from temp where b.col1=temp.col1);
3. why it is taking too much time for deleting records in table A.

I have a table which have 300+ columns and have 13 million rows. It is on a 32 kb block size. This is a table in data ware house environment. There no# of rows in the table haven't changed much but I see that the time taken to collect statistics have increased significantly.Initially it took only 15 minutes (with the same 13M rows) now it runs for 4+ hours. The max parallel servers is 4 (which is unchanged). The table is not partitioned.
OS: HP UX Itanium
Database: Oracle 11g (11.2.0.2)
Command is:
exec dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(ownname=>'ABC',tabname=>'ABC_LOAD',estimate_percent=>dbms_stats.auto_sample_size,cascade=>TRUE,DEGREE=>dbms_stats.auto_degree);
I would like to understand:
1) What could have been the causes of this change in time. 15 minutes to 4+hours ?
2) How can we gather statistics of huge table at a faster rate?

extract a huge amount of data from a couple of views... the problem is that they want it in TXT files with fixed record length. There will be like 6 files, for a total amount of about 10GB.
export those tables in the fastest possible way? If I'm not mistaken exp and expdp can't create txt files, so do I really need to use utl_file or spool?

I have this table
create table ACTIONARI_ARH
(
actionar_id NUMBER(10) not null,
id VARCHAR2(20) not null,
id_2 VARCHAR2(20),
tip VARCHAR2(1),
nume VARCHAR2(100),
prenume VARCHAR2(100),
adresa VARCHAR2(200),
[code]....
and this view
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW ACTIONARI AS
SELECT "ACTIONAR_ID","ID","ID_2","TIP","NUME","PRENUME","ADRESA","LOCALITATE","JUDET","TARA","CERT_DECES","DATA_REGISTRU" Data_operare,"USER_MODIF","DATA_MODIF","REZIDENT"
FROM (
select
[code]....
The table has about 30 milion records and holds persons names, addresses, personal id (id), and internal id(actionar_id) and date when a new adress has been added.
The view is about getting only the most recent info for one person (actionar_id).
if i run a
a) select * from actionari a where a.actionar_id = 'nnnnnnn', result is returned immediatly, oracle uses index and does not do a full table scan.
b) select * from actionari a where a.actionar_id in ('nnnnnnn','mmmmmm','ooooooo'), result is returned immediatly, oracle uses index and does not do a full table scan.
my problem when i use this view in a join.let's assume i have another table with no more than 500 records, something like
create table SMALL_TABLE
(
actionar_id NUMBER(10) not null,
......
);
and if i run
select *
from SMALL_TABLE s
join actionari a
on a.actionar_id = s.actionar_id;
it takes like forever to process, forever means 1~3 minutes.by looking at the execution plan, oracle does a full table scan, creates the view for all unique 7milion persons, and only then joins the result with the actionar_is's in the small table and returns the desired 500 record result.i am using oracle 10g.

I have a table users which contains the column password and the datatype for this is raw(64) ,which will be the hashed one coming from the application. When Inserting the application is inserting with the lower case but while storing the table data is storing int the uppercase .Is it the expected behavior of this datatype. I am using Oracle 11g and attaching the ddl and dml pertaining to the column
CREATE TABLE users_new(USER_ID NUMBER(10), PASSWORD RAW(64) ); insert into USERS_NEWvalues(1,'ba660ed7b382f2c57754c4cd0d5289cc60ee455244847268d88b555168b28b23156f5a016b2764966a15674bec4eb0fb2220be736bfc21282be957910b9e80cf');
But after selecting from the database I am getting as below BA660ED7B382F2C57754C4CD0D5289CC60EE455244847268D88B555168B28B23156F5A016B2764966A15674BEC4EB0FB2220BE736BFC21282BE957910B9E80CF

I have question related to LONG datatype. Actually from google and get to know that one table can have only one LONG datatype when i searched for reason . i got these resons:-
With 9i (I believe) and later versions, Oracle deprecates using the long datatype in favor of the lob (clob, nclob and blog) datatypes. It is only supported for backward compatibility.
Restriction:- It can not be used in create type as an attribute of the defined type.
It can not be used in where conditions.
There can be no indexes on long columns.
Regular Expression are not possible.
long can not be returned from a stored function.
SQL can not call functions that have an attribute of type long.
And even more restrictions.
So I want to know that is only reason because of that Oracle doesn't allow us to make two Column or is there any strong reason which make it more logical Like storing of data in Row blocks or some thing else.

How can I modify the check constraint without dropping the already existing check constraint.
Example: alter table table_1 add constraint const_chk check (ATTRIBUTE7 in
('READ','UNREAD');
Want to add some TENTATIVE value for the already existing one. I could do that by dropping the constraint
ALTER TABLE table_1 DROP CONSTRAINT const_chk and modifying it later as
alter table table_1 add constraint const_chk check (ATTRIBUTE7 in
('READ','UNREAD','TENTATIVE');
Is it possible to do that with out dropping the constraint?
