Performance Tuning :: Alternate Query Instead Of Querying Table Twice?

Nov 11, 2012

The Item data for individual cycles is as below.

Item_tbl
ItemRundate StddateStatus
P103-Nov-1203-Nov-12A
P104-Nov-1204-Nov-12D
P2 04-Nov-1203-Nov-12A

The requirement is I have to get the details of all data of previous Active cycle(status A) when the Item became disabled(status = D) for Input date.

In above case,since for Item P1 and on cycle date 04-Nov-12,status is D,I have to consider the previous active cycle which is 03-Nov-12. Based on above std date,the data is queried from another table to get all the Items. Item P2 should not be considered in above case.

Below is the code which I have written which considers the rundate as Input parameter.

-- To get the Items disabled for Input date
with Itemdisabled as
(
select item,stddate maxcycledate
from Item_tbl
where rundate = stddate

[code]....

In above case,I'm querying the Item_tbl twice once for getting the disabled Items and once for getting the Previous cycle which is active.

Is there any way to query above only once and get the required results using Lag/Lead functions etc.

PL/SQL :: Getting Unique Records From Table

Aug 24, 2012

Oracle Database Version is 10g ( 10.2.0.4.0)

I have two table emp_perm & employee.

1) Table emp_perm is a lookup table with 2 columns, temp VARCHAR2 & perm VARCHAR2.

Table emp_perm have below data in it:-
temp              perm
1064885        0349034
0099982       7399982
6476456        9170346
5252525       52525252)

Now table employee might have following combinations of rows.

Records for both Temps file (1064885) and perm file number (0349034) does exist in employee table, in this case Delete Temp File Number records i.e. 1064885 and keep Permanent File Number (0349034) records as it is.

Records for only temp file number(0099982) does exists and corresponding perm file(7399982) does not exists in employee table in this case convert these records i.e. update 0099982 with its perm file number 7399982 using lookup table emp_perm.

Records for only perm file number exists (9170346) and corresponding temp file number (6476456) does not then do not amend employee table, as we are interested in perm file numbers.

If file number does exist in lookup table in emp_perm and both of them are equal (5252525) then do not amend employee table as temp and per file number are same.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Local Unique Constraint On Partition Table

Aug 2, 2011

I have created a table below, my TL asked me to create a local unique constraint for the below table.

I went through all sites and could not find the correct solution, how to create LOCAL UNIQUE CONSTRAINT ON SUB PARTITION TABLE and LOCAL UNIQUE INDEX ON PARTITION TABLE. Creating Local Unique constraint should take care of creating local unique index creation.

Unique key columns are DET,GDS,ARRIVE_DT

CREATE TABLE SUB_PAR_TAB
(
ID VARCHAR2(100) NOT NULL,
REGION VARCHAR2(40) NOT NULL,
SOURCE VARCHAR2(80) NOT NULL,
DET VARCHAR2(80) NOT NULL,
GDS VARCHAR2(40) NOT NULL,
ARRIVE_DTDATE,
SYS_SOURCE VARCHAR2(25) ,
[code]........

SQL & PL/SQL :: Table With A Non-unique Index Consisting Of Three Columns

Sep 13, 2013

I have a table with a non-unique index consisting of three columns. The first column is not null while the remaining two are nullable. Queries using this index will chiefly be made in two ways.

1. Column one and two having values. Column three is null.
2. Column one and thre having values. Column two is null.

In both cases I expect range scan will be used since it's non-unique. In the first case the scan will be on values in column one and two. But what happens in case two. Will the range be on colum one, column two(being null) and cxolumn three? Or will it be on just column one since the second column is null? I have done some testing. I can see , using EXPLAN PLAN, that range scan is used in both cases. how the index is used?

Is there any other drawbacks with an index like this?

SQL & PL/SQL :: How To Write Function To Find Unique Value In Table

Aug 5, 2013

Create a function which will indicate if a given record in a table is unique or not. Unique means the data is occurring only once in the entire table.

Function should be in this signature

function IS_UNIQUE (tableName in varchar2,tableAttribute in varchar2)
return number
.....
begin
//logic to check if given data is unique
return 0; //return 0 if data is unique
else
return 1; //return 1 if data is duplicate
end;

Once I run this query

select attribute1 from table1 where IS_UNIQUE(table1,attribute1)=0

All records of attribute1 which are unique need to be fetched. Similarly, select attribute1 from table1 where IS_UNIQUE(table1,attribute1)=1 should return all records of attribute1 which are duplicates.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Unique Values - Print Output Of Table

Dec 9, 2011

I am stuck with this query.

I have a table "xyz" as -->>

SQL> select * from xyz;

A B
---------- ----------------------------------------
1 Hello
2 Hello
3 No Hello
4 No Hello
5 Hello
6 Hello
7 Hello

I want to print the output of this table as -->>

A B
---------- ----------------------------------------
1
2 Hello
3
4 No Hello
5
6
7 Hello

To make it more clear, I just want that whenever the value f column "B" changes then only its value should be printed, else it should be NULL. And if "B" has same value for all the records then the value of "B" should be printed at the last.

Either of SQL or PLSQL would d for me.

Oracle DB 10.2 - Export / Import Alternate Or Improvement

Jul 23, 2013

One of our client is using Oracle DB 10.2 with customize applications. They have 5 schemas (one for each module). In their Head Office they are utilizing 4 schemas and remaining one is being utilized on company site based in another city. Due to internet connectivity issue they don't have VPN available so they export schema dump file (imp/exp) on daily basis from that server, transfer it using FTP then import it on Production Server (in Head Office) on daily basis.

Now they are looking for an alternate because the schema size is getting larger day by day and due to internet connectivity issue they face lots of problems while transferring the file.

Performance Tuning :: How Expensive (speed) Is Unique Versus Primary Key In Large Table

Aug 15, 2011

I have two design alternatives and need to understand how expensive (speed) is one of them against the other for a medium size table (100K-200K records):

create table xyz
(
f1 number not null,
f2 varchar2(20) not null,
f3 number not null,
f4 varchar2(50),

[code]....

the idea is to optimize the design by using a PK instead of the 3 keys and there is a debate that searching a unique index field(2nd scenario) is of the same speed than searching a PK field (1st scenario).

SQL & PL/SQL :: Update Each Row - Unique Index

Jun 23, 2011

I've got a table which has no unique identifier for a row. I have a field for an ID value but somhow there are duplicate values in this field.

Now I want to create an unique index over this field but therefore I have to remove the duplicate values.

So what I need is an update statement, maybe in a for each loop, which updates the ID field in each row starting with 1 and increasing the value.

In Informix there is a rowid value which is automatically set by Informix. But I think there´s no correspondent function/value in Oracle....

SQL & PL/SQL :: Generate Unique Combination

Dec 17, 2011

I need a "solution", guidance to a problem I have to solve. I have different letters with a value associate to it like

A:10, B:20, ..., G:250 and I have a Target to reach TARGET= 90

and I need to find among all letters I have which combination is equal or closest to my target.

A:10
B:20
C:20
D:20
E:30
F:40
G:250

IF there is more than one solution possible, the first found is perfect. With my example I can reach 90 with different combinations:

A+B+C+F
A+B+D+F
A+C+D+F
B+C+D+E
B+E+F
C+E+F
D+E+F

To complicate the things I have up to 10 different letters that need to combine to match my target. If there is no combination that exactly match my target, the closest higher combination is picked.

PL/SQL :: Unique Constraint Violated

Oct 4, 2013

My DB version is

BANNER                                                     
----------------------------------------------------------------
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bi
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.4.0 - Production

TNS for Linux: Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production               
NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.4.0 - Production  

These error codes I'm getting in production.First of all, I've no duplicates present in that table for which this error has been raised.I've checked the index and related columns as well. NO DATA is there.So NO CHANCE for unique constraint violation.

SELECT * FROM ORDER_OCC_REQUISITION_X_REF WHERE LAB_ORDER_OCC_TEST_ID IN(SELECT LAB_ORDER_OCC_TEST_ID FROM LAB_ORDER_OCC_TEST WHERE LAB_ORDER_OCC_ID = 7944858);

no rows selected

 Now when I'm trying to insert one row inside this table I'm getting this error, as you are seeing no records for this occurrence_id. 

SELECT * FROM USER_INDEXES WHERE INDEX_NAME = 'ORD_OCC_REQ_UQ_TEST_IX_04';
--ORDER_OCC_REQUISITION_X_REF (Table name)
--MERGE_DT, LAB_ORDER_OCC_TEST_ID, TEST_ID, ACTIVE_YN (columns for the index 'ORD_OCC_REQ_UQ_TEST_IX_04')
As you can see there is no data then this error should not be raised.  Update procedure.
