Jul 23, 2013One 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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedPerformance Tuning :: Alternate Query Instead Of Querying Table Twice?
Nov 11, 2012The 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.
