I must admit my "google skills" have failed me and it is possible that I might be missing something obvious here but allow me to explain.
If I have a table that is populated/accessed by a typical OLTP application such that over time the data in the table may become "fragmented".
I know that is a very controversial term I used but that is not the question here. A simple way to describe the state of the table might be that the table has always been populated with lots of small INSERTs, modified with lots of small UPDATEs and data has been deleted in small DELETEs.
This has meant that the data is neither closely stored in data blocks nor is in any particular order (so there are some empty blocks under HWM).
Now my question is how do I create exact copy of this table and its indexes AS THEY EXIST AT THE MOMENT that includes
1) its data
2) its constraints/indexes etc.
3) its storage parameters
4) data stored in EXACTLY same manner as in original table.
To avoid complications, the table in question is just a normal heap table without any partitioning involved. While
CREATE TABLE AS SELECT (or CREATE TABLE followed by INSERT) will take care of points (1) to (3) above, it will not achieve point (4) above.
My solution to the following question update 10 rows. It should update only 6 records. Create a copy of the missions table called AM_X_442_2. For missions on this table that meet the following criteria:
1. within the 10 most recent missions 2. length of the first word of the mission code_name exceeds 7 characters
Change the security level to the highest security level found in missions of the same type.
UPDATE AM_X_442_2 am SET am.SECURITY_LEVEL = ( SELECT MAX(amx.SECURITY_LEVEL) FROM AM_X_442_2 am INNER JOIN AM_X_442_2 amx [code]....
How to validate a sum of some records in a table to be exact value?
I want to guarantee that sum(val_column)=100 at database level. Check constraints out of question. Trigger before update statement disable any update to that column when incrementing one row and decrement another... (unless with for all...)
There was one constraint define on the column of table that the value of column should be in range of 100 to 200. Some one has deleted the constraint. Is it possible to get the exact name of constraint from any system table.
I need to check the exact amount of space used (in bytes or MB) by a table which is having a BLOB column.I tried the following query but it is not giving the proper usage.
select segment_name , sum(bytes)from dba_extentswhere segment_type='TABLE'and segment_name in ('TEST_CLOB','TEST_BLOB','TEST_CLOB_ADV','TEST_BLOB_ADV') group by segment_name; I even tried the following stored procedure create or replace procedure sp_get_table_size (p_table_name varchar2)as l_segment_name varchar2(30); l_segment_size_blocks number; l_segment_size_bytes number; l_used_blocks number; l_used_bytes number; l_expired_blocks number; l_expired_bytes number; l_unexpired_blocks number; l_unexpired_bytes number; begin select [code].......
But it is giving the error
Error starting at line 298 in command:exec sp_get_table_size ('TEST_CLOB_ADV')Error report:ORA-03213: Invalid Lob Segment Name for DBMS_SPACE packageORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SPACE", line 210ORA-06512: at "SYS.SP_GET_TABLE_SIZE", line 20ORA-06512: at line 103213. 00000 - "Invalid Lob Segment Name for DBMS_SPACE package"*Cause: The Lob Segment specified in the DBMS_SPACE operation does not exist.

I want to create binary copy of control file every time I do backup. I am using sql "alter database backup controlfile to ''+FRADG/TESTDB/controlfile/controlfile.ctl'' "; in my rman backup script. If I run it second time I got errors as it does does not allow to overwrite existing one.
i could copy data from tableA to tableB with the scenario below
1) Currently we have no unique key / primary key defined on both of this tables, due to the nature of data, so insert/update will not work 2) We cant truncate/insert as user will be accessing this tables when the copying process takes place, so we dont want to end up having a scenario where the table does not contain data at a certain time
Will materialize view full refresh work in refreshing a table so we could avoid the problem faced in point 1 & 2.
I have two tables namely PERSON and WIFE. I want to make WIFE's data available in PERSON table while keeping entries of WIFE maintained and at the same time adding some the values of PERSON against the data of wife.
PERSON Table PK NAME ADDRESS IS_MARRIED 1 John ab city Y 2 Varvatos cd town N 3 Smith ef town Y 4 Henry gh city Y 5 Lynda gh city Y
WIFE table
PK PERSON_ID (FK) NAME 1 1 Alice 2 3 Rosy 3 4 Lynda
Now i want to copy data of WIFE table into PERSON table like this PERSON table
PK NAME ADDRESS IS_MARRIED 1 John ab city Y 2 Varvatos cd town N 3 Smith ef town Y 4 Henry gh city Y 5 Lynda gh city Y 6 Alice ab city Y 7 Rosy ef town Y
As in the given example you might have noticed that ADDRESS of wife is same as of her spouse and same goes for IS_MARRIED column. Moreover, the PK is also not duplicated. How to go about this?
Another important factor is Lynda already exits in PERSON table, therefore, i certainly don't want to duplicate her entry.
