Index On Null Column
Oct 31, 2012
I have a table with column A which contains very few null values. I need to select these rows. I am considering two options:
a) create function based index on NVL(A, 0) and use this in where clause NVL(A, 0)=0 (column doesn't have values 0)
b) create function based index on NVL2(A, 0, NULL) and and use this in where clause NVL2(A, 0, NULL) = 0
First idea was option A. But I realized in option B the index will be much smaller, because most of values of column A isn't NULL so NVL2 will return NULL and index will not have as much leafs as in NVL. It is good idea to use NVL2? Is there any against to use option B instead of A?

when i follow this steps mention on this website
[URL].........
to modify column from null to not null i got this error and on this website its show successful
my steps are
first i create a table
SQL> create table Stu_Table(Stu_Id varchar(2), Stu_Name varchar(10),
2 Stu_Class varchar(10));
Table created.
Then insert some rows into Stu_Table
SQL> insert into Stu_Table (Stu_Id, Stu_Name) values(1,'Komal');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into Stu_Table (Stu_Id, Stu_Name) values(2,'Ajay');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into Stu_Table (Stu_Id, Stu_Name) values(3,'Rakesh');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into Stu_Table (Stu_Id, Stu_Name) values(4,'Bhanu');
1 row created.
SQL> insert into Stu_Table (Stu_Id, Stu_Name) values(5,'Santosh');
1 row created.
SQL> select * from Stu_Table;
ST STU_NAME STU_CLASS
-- ---------- ----------

Table Structure is like this
SQL> Describe Stu_Table
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
STU_ID VARCHAR2(2)
STU_NAME VARCHAR2(10)
STU_CLASS VARCHAR2(10)
now when i try to modify this Stu_id column to not null its give me error.
SQL>ALTER TABLE Stu_Table MODIFY Stu_Id int(3)not null;
ALTER TABLE Stu_Table MODIFY Stu_Id int(3)not null
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01735: invalid ALTER TABLE option
and when i try to add new column with not null its also gives me error
SQL> ALTER TABLE Stu_Table add C1_TEMP integer NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE Stu_Table add C1_TEMP integer NOT NULL
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01758: table must be empty to add mandatory (NOT NULL) column

We are getting the below error on a piece of code that chas been functioning fine for over 4 years..
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table key value
ORA-06512: at "pd.pf33", line 148
The line it's pointing at is merely a FOR loop that opens a cursor (select query) and loops through the items.
FOR rec IN csr_cash
LOOP
END LOOP
This piece of code has been functioning fine for years.. and never got this kind of error on a for loop. Could it be something internal to Oracle/underlying memory issues?

The below query is not performing good.
SELECT * FROM wedb_master
WHERE c_group IS NOT NULL;
The table is having 200000 records.
I have index on c_group but not used. FTS is happening.
how improve the performance of IS NOT NULL predicate.

so im running this script
DECLARE
STQ_ID NUMBER;
MESSAGE VARCHAR2(500);
[Code].....
and getting this error ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table key value
the code where it is inserting and getting out of it values is:
IF vt_Prs_Code_Ipr.COUNT <> 0 THEN
IF vt_Ist_Code_Ipr(1) IS NOT NULL THEN
IF vr_data.insurance_kind = 'B' THEN
[Code]....
Im running script at PL/SQL Developer and using debugger, i see that it's inserting dates but at some point between point 5.3.2.1.1 till 5.3.2.1.5 it returns no dates :/ basically it needs to stop at 5.3.2.1.2 and in form need return date 02.02.1996, but it returns 01.01.1996 + gives that ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: NULL index table key value
edit: vt_SnpStartDate(v_Idx)is 01.01.1996
vt_SnpEndDate(v_Idx) is 31.12.1996
vt_prd_tbl(v_Idx2).Start_Date is 01.01.1996
vt_prd_tbl(v_Idx2).End_Date is 01.02.1996
at p.5.3.2.1.3 it shows that there is no date in vt_prd_tbl(v_Idx2).Start_Date and is returning ora error, why?

is there some performance/access difference between a bitmap index on a number column and char(1) column? Both columns are not null with a default value.My application has a querie like this:
select ass.column20, ass.column30from table_a pucinner join table_b asson ass.column1 = puc.column1where pc.column_char = 'S'and ass.column_char02 = 'P'
If I create a bitmap index on column "column_char", the access plan is not changed. But changing the column datatype to number(1) and obviously the values, the index is accessed and the cost decreases.This table has 4.000.000 rows. Oracle 11.2.0.2SO

i've got a project and im wondering whether it is possible to create an if statement that says something like
"If column A is NOT NULL then column B cannot be NULL"
would I have to do this as a trigger or a constraint?

I have a table with columns emp_i, LOC_C and SUBSID_C. I want to find all emp_i's with LOC_C OR SUBSID_C as always NULL. Please note that the value should be NULL, always, for all dates.
--------------------------------------------
EX:
emp_i----LOC_C---SUBSID_C--Eff_Date
100------20------30--------01/01/2011
101------NULL----10--------05/01/2011
102------NULL----NULL------02/01/2011
101------20------NULL------02/01/2011
102------NULL----NULL------05/01/2011
103------NULL----20--------01/01/2011
103------NULL----NULL------02/01/2011
--------------------------------------------
The query ---
should return 102 as LOC_C OR SUBSID_C is ALWAYS NULL.
should return 103 as LOC_C is ALWAYS NULL.
should not return 101, as LOC_C is not ALWAYS NULL.
In other words, the query should give list of emp_i who never ever had a non-null value for LOC_C OR SUBSID_C. The purpose is to find the emp_i for which the columns LOC_C and SUBSID_C are never used.
I tried the query:
---------------------------------------------------
SELECT DISTINCT ORG_EMP_I FROM tab1
WHERE ORG_GRP_I = 58
AND ORG_EMP_I NOT IN (
SELECT DISTINCT org_emp_i
FROM tab1 ap
WHERE ap.ORG_GRP_I = 58
AND trim(ap.LOC_C) IS NOT NULL OR ap.ORG_SBSID_C IS NOT NULL )
---------------------------------------------------

I have 3 columns in a table: colX, colY, colZ.
Trying to find a way to prevent duplicates with these, but only if colX is not null.
For example, if there are already values for: colX = 1, colY = 1, colZ = 1
then:
Allowed: colX = null, colY = 1, colZ = 1
Not allowed: colX = 1, colY = 1, colZ = 1
I can't create a unique constraint on these columns because there are many null values for column colX, and as mentioned, when colX is null, colY and colZ can be any values.
I also tried using a before insert trigger to find duplicates before posting and raise an error if found, but this causes an ORA-04091 mutating error since the trigger in the table is referencing itself to check for duplicates.
Also, I know there is something called a function based index, but I cannot use those with my code, so I need another solution if possible.

I'm having trouble creating a view that has a not null column. Using this script you can see that the resulting table doesn't have a not null constraint for the first column even though both source columns for that row are not null. Is there anyway to force the view to mark that first column as not null? (I need it for ODP.NET otherwise I get an error there)
DROP TABLE MYTABLE;
CREATE table MYTABLE
( COL1 NUMBER(2) NOT NULL,
col2 number(2)) ;
drop table mytable2;
CREATE table MYTABLE2

Our organization is attempting to learn more about the partitioning features of Oracle 11g. I've been reading the partitioning manuals, and I have not found a clear answer on this topic, but I suspect I know the answer.
If you create a range partitioned table; using interval partitioning, say something like this:
CREATE table range_parti (
CODE NUMBER(5),
DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(50),
CREATED_DATE DATE)
PARTITION BY RANGE (created_date)
INTERVAL (NUMTOYMINTERVAL(1,'MONTH'))
(
PARTITION my_parti VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-NOV-2007','DD-MON-YYYY'))
);
but you try to insert a null value as the partition key, you get the following error:
SQL> INSERT INTO range_parti VALUES (1,'one',NULL);
INSERT INTO range_parti VALUES (1,'one',NULL)
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-14400: inserted partition key does not map to any partition
Elapsed: 00:00:00.07
Is there no way to tell it to use a default partition for NULL values? Or specifically designate a partition for NULL values WITHOUT having to manually list out each partition? It seems it works if you don't use the INTERVAL keyword, list out your partitions, and use MAXVALUE. However, our hope to avoid having that as it creates monstrously huge DDL statements for tables that have lots of date ranges, and we will be forced to manually add new partitions each month as data is added/time passes.
It appears from my experience so far, if your column can allow nulls, you cannot use interval range partitioning on that column.

I have a table with multiple rows for the KEY attribute(its not a primary key) and a Rank for each row.
I want a query which fetches one row per KEY attribute.The row with lesser Rank should be considered. But in-case if the value is null for any column the value for next Rank should be considered.
WITH TMP_TBL AS
(
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT 'A' DUN,'1' RNK,'A21' col1,NULL col2,'A41' col3,NULL col4 FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 'A','2','A122','A23',NULL,NULL FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 'A','3','A32','A33',NULL,'A35' FROM dual
[code].......
DUN is the KEY attribute . RNK is the Rank for each Row. COL1... COL4 are data attributes
The results I am expecting is
DUNCOL1 COL2 COL3 COL4
AA21 A23 A41 A35
BB12 B23 B15
CC12 C13 C33 C14
I want this to be done with SQL only. So I tried various ways but none were successful.Finally I created a Multi Row function row_nvl and it worked.
SELECT DUN,
row_nvl(rownvl_param_type(RNK,col1)),
row_nvl(rownvl_param_type(RNK,col2)),
row_nvl(rownvl_param_type(RNK,col3)),
row_nvl(rownvl_param_type(RNK,col4))
FROM TMP_TBL
GROUP BY DUN
But I don't think my manager will allow me to deploy a Multi Row function .

I could do it using the below query using union with the rownum.
select * from (
select rownum rn, c1,c2,c3,c4 from table_new
) where rn =1
union
select * from (
select rownum rn, decode(c1,null,null),c2,c3,c4 from table_new
) where rn between 2 and 3
Is there any other way of displaying using a single sql query.

I am having issue with IMPDP on ORACLE VIRTUAL COLUMNS.I am having following table with Virtual column defined with Not null. Expdp is fine without any issue.
DDL :
------
CREATE TABLE alert_hist
(
alertky INTEGER NOT NULL,
alertcreatedttm TIMESTAMP(6) DEFAULT systimestamp NOT NULL,
alertcreatedt DATE GENERATED ALWAYS AS (To_date(Trunc("alertcreatedttm"))) VIRTUAL NOT NULL
When I do the import (IMPDP) it got failed with the following error.
. . imported "TESTSCHEMA"."VALART" 359.1 KB 4536 rows
ORA-31693: Table data object "TESTSCHEMA"."ALERT_HIST" failed to load/unload and is being skipped due to error:
ORA-39097: Data Pump job encountered unexpected error -1
After that I dropped the Virtual Not null column and recreated that column with Nullable.
DDL :
-----
alter table alert_hist drop column alertcreatedt;
alter table alert_hist add alertcreatedt DATE GENERATED ALWAYS AS (To_date(Trunc("alertcreatedttm"))) VIRTUAL;
After that I took the expdp and impdp , it went fine with out any issue.

Is the index suggested on the date column.
Here is the nature of the date column in my case:
1. The table populates with 1000's of records every day with date being always incremental (current date).
2. The search criteria from the weba application (ADF) is based on the date, user gives the range.
3. From ADF I am referring to it as sql.Timestamp when building the query.
Does Index suggested on the date column here and if so what type of index ?

I currently have a 5 column index on a table with over 2 billion records (paritioned on created_date (weekly) that is not very effective.I am contemplating replacing this 5 key index and creating a new single column index made up by hashing of all the 5 five columns.
Is this a wise stratgey? How can I implement this so it is most effective and I dont shoot myself in the foot?

I have a table with, for example, three columns: A, B,C.
I execute on this table only one select: CODESELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE A = :1 AND B=:2
Column A has a lot of distinct values (numbers), but B can have only two values: 'Y' or 'N' (cardinality about 50%/50%). It is worth to create index on two columns: A, B? Does query using index on A column will be much slower than using index on A, B?

What are the rule to define the best-position of a column in an index?
index_1(col_1,Col_2,col_3) and not [ (col_1,Col_3,col_2) or (col_2,Col_3,col_1) or (col_2,Col_1,col_3) or (col_3,Col_2,col_1) or (col_3,Col_1,col_2) ] ?
