Server Administration :: Possible To Run SHRINK SPACE Against Table With Function Based Index
Jun 27, 2013
It is not possible to run SHRINK SPACE against a table with a function based index. This is documented, and I've tested on the current release. I've reverse engineered it a bit, and the issue is in fact that you cannot SHRINK SPACE if there is an index on a virtual column:SQL> SQL> create table t1(c1 number, c2 as (c1*2)) segment creation immediate;
Table created.
SQL> alter table t1 enable row movement;
Table altered.
SQL> alter table t1 shrink space;
Table altered.
SQL> create index i1 on t1(c2);
Index created.
SQL> alter table t1 shrink space;
alter table t1 shrink space
ERROR at line 1: ORA-10631: SHRINK clause should not be specified for this object.
I've heard that this statement causes a table lock but cant find any information on this.if it is so, is it a write lock or also a read lock of the table?
How to check for the increment of a space of the tablespace based on the particular table. (i.e.) Say a scenario, if am trying to load the data for a particular table, for first I loaded some 10000 records and then again loading 50000 records ,so based on the icrement of the reocrds the tablespace size also increases gradually . so for this scenario how to monitor the increment of the space.
SQL> Alter Table tb_hxl_user Shrink Space Cascade; Alter Table tb_hxl_user Shrink Space Cascade * ERROR at line 1: ORA-10635: Invalid segment or tablespace type

The problem is that the data of the table are 40GB while on the DB the table holds 400GB! How can I shrink and reuse that space except from drop/recreate and drop/import?
The table has no initial data, so that I can play with the INITIAL parameter. Data are inserted, updated and deleted all the time. I have run DBMS_ADVISOR which recommended to SHRINK table. I have performed the shrink :
We have separate tablespaces for Tables and Indexes. Also Temp is in different temporary tablespace and UNDO also in UNDO tablespace and Index tablespace contains only Indexes. The tablespace usage for tables is 80% and Index is 91%.There is not enough disk space to allocate for the datafile on our system. I ran a rebuild on one of the Index but now notice the Index tablespace is 98% used soon after the rebuild finished.
How can i free up space for Index tablespace and why does the size of Index tablespace increased after the rebuild.
I have a table which sees a lot of use for queries
CREATE TABLE CASE_STAGE ( ID NUMBER(9) NOT NULL, STAGE_ID NUMBER(9) NOT NULL, CASE_PHASE_ID NUMBER(9) NOT NULL, "CURRENT" NUMBER(1) NOT NULL, --and other columns )
ID is a primary key CASE_PHASE_ID is a foreign key
"CURRENT" should only ever have values of 0 or 1. When it has a value of 1 it is unique for that CASE_PHASE_ID
What I have tried that doesn't work is
create unique index case_stage_F_IDX1 on case_stage("CURRENT", case_Phase_id) which gives me ORA-01452: cannot CREATE UNIQUE INDEX; duplicate keys found
What is the correct syntax, something like ("CURRENT"=1,case_phase_id) seems right but fails with an error about a missing bracket. Do I need to use a CASE statement here?
I have created a function based index(FBI) with trim(header_date), but when i query the table by passing the hardcoded date, it is not working and i have to manually apply trim to get the result?
my query after applying FBI is
select * from abc where header_date = '21-JUN-11', no results are returned and when i apply trim to header_date it works fine .
This table has a query where one of the condition is AND STATUS <> 'C'
Now the data is as following
select count(*) record_count, status from new_business group by status;
record_countstatus 4298025C 15N 13Q 122S
I want to know if following index would be useful in this case while the condition in where clause is
"AND STATUS <> 'C'"
create index nb_index_1 on new_business(case when status in('N','Q','S') then 1 else NULL end); Or create index nb_index_1 on new_business(case when status ='N' then 'N' when status='Q' then 'Q' when status='S' then 'S' else NULL end);
I tried it on a sample table but the index is simply not picked up even when hinted following are the db level settings
One of our query is not using function based index, the required priv is granted to the user executing the query and also tables stats are gathered? what could be the reason for the query to not to pick the FBIndx? the table is a huge one having million of records, is it that CBO thinks that not picking FB indx is the best execution plan? let me know how can we make the query use the FB indx, also there is a restriction that we cannot force it using hints.
I am trying to use shrink to reclaim space on some tables:
-First of all i am using this query to verify which tables are eligible to shrink: select segment_owner, segment_name, segment_type, trunc(((allocated_space)/1024)/1024) "aloc", trunc(((used_space)/1024)/1024) "used" , trunc(((reclaimable_space)/1024)/1024) "reclaim" from table(DBMS_SPACE.ASA_RECOMMENDATIONS()) where segment_owner='&owner' and segment_type='TABLE' order by reclaimable_space desc;
Using oracle 10g R2 on sun-solaris 10 (sparc-64) Well in the MIS system we have lot of ad-hoc queries coming up. We have proper indexing. Say an example which runs very slow;
Here GLUPMJ already indexed so the second query returing an index scan but the first query does a FTS naturally.Now even if I plan to create a function based index on 'the bold highlighted' but how.
create index glupmj_idx on f0911(TO_DATE('1 JAN' || (19+substr( GLUPMJ , 1, 1)) || substr( GLUPMJ ,2,2)) + substr( GLUPMJ , 4, 3 ));..Error If I don't use a FBI my query will result in FTS.
1> how to create a FBI here in this case
2> In MIS systems where 'n' no of ad-hoc queries can come up, how to avoid FTS.
I need to resize my datafile as i have allocated more space and need to reduce ( i.e.data load completed now). my tablespace is having 11.74 gb free space now. it has 3 datafile.

[code]....
in TOAD, we have an option, that is "Minimum size" button against each datafile.. Need the SQL which is running behind when we press this button from TOAD ?
1.Is it necessary to reorganize a table and index after the deletion of records from table ? Because i see some change in table size after table and index reorganization.
2.Will re org table and index improve the database performance ?
Well, I have a oracle database 10g and the tablespace INDX was getting up to 32 GB size. Now I added second datafile to the space, but can I shrink this space? In my view this space is responsible for indexes, right? There is a command to rebuild the indexes or there's another trick?
In My database rollback segment space is not releasing space even though, there is no transaction is using RBS. RBS tablespace size is around 70GB. Unfortunately still our environment is running in 9i due to application code

Is there any way I can calculate percentage of space used in a block.Eg if a table size is 100 blocks,How Can I check the percentage of used space in block.
am using Oracle 10.2.0.4 on win 2008 server SP2. I would like to know if we can set the Segment Space Management feature to AUTO for RBS and Temporary tablespaces. As the data is not permanent in these tablespaces, will it manage automatically?
Presently its Segment Space Mgmt is manual for System, RBS, Temporary tablespaces.
In my drive E: I'll have a space issue soon because one file is taking all space. SYSTEM01. DBF size is around 25GB. I want to know if I delete some data in my database I'll gain space.
