Find which tables are linked to this one via foreign keys

Hi, I need to drop & recreate a table, but this table is referenced by other tables via foreign key constraints.
1. Is there a query I can run to find those tables (the ones referencing this one) ?
2. What is the standard way to drop & recreate this table being referenced by others?

1) You can try the following query:
select r.owner, r.table_name
from user_constraints r, user_constraints o
where r.r_owner = o.owner and r.r_constraint_name = o.constraint_name
and o.constraint_type in ('P','U') and r.constraint_type = 'R'
and o.table_name = 'DEPT'
2) To drop tables with references you can also use drop table cascade constraints,
which will also drop constraints from tables:
[email protected]> drop table dept;
drop table dept
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02449: unique/primary keys in table referenced by foreign keys
[email protected]> drop table dept cascade constraints;
Table dropped.
Another way is to prepare a script which will remove the tables in proper order.

select sp.object_owner,sp.object_name,
(select sql_text from v$sqlarea sa
where sa.address = sp.address
and sa.hash_value =sp.hash_value) sqltext,
(select executions from v$sqlarea sa
where sa.address = sp.address
and sa.hash_value =sp.hash_value) no_of_full_scans,
(select lpad(nvl(trim(to_char(num_rows)),' '),15,' ')||' | '||lpad(nvl(trim(to_char(blocks)),' '),15,' ')||' | '||buffer_pool
from dba_tables where table_name = sp.object_name
and owner = sp.object_owner) "rows|blocks|pool"
from v$sql_plan sp
where operation='TABLE ACCESS'
and object_owner IN ('YOUR_USER_NAME')
order by 1,2
It will tell you that currently "OBJECT_NAME" is being accessed; but i think it is for full table scan.

How to find which tables are being used by a workbook.

I was asked by the client to generate a report which will show the Workbook name and it's corresponding tables/views.
Any idea on how to use the EUL tables for this purpose. I know the SQL query to find the tables in case the workbook was run at least once. But I want to show the Workbook and it's table details even the report was never run.
Advanced thanks,
Lokesh.

Hi Jay
While we're on the subject of scripts, here's a couple more you might like:
Script 1:
=========
This one shows you how many times an item has been used. It is useful for determining how often users make use of items in a folder. It could be used as research for a materialized view, for dropping items which are not used, or for understanding usage.
SELECT
OBJ.OBJ_NAME FOLDER,
EXP.EXP_NAME ITEM,
COUNT(QPP.QS_ID) USAGE
FROM
EUL5_OBJS OBJ,
EUL5_QPP_STATS QPP,
EUL5_EXPRESSIONS EXP
WHERE
OBJ.OBJ_NAME = <Folder Name>
AND OBJ.OBJ_ID = EXP.IT_OBJ_ID
AND INSTR(QPP.QS_OBJECT_USE_KEY,OBJ.OBJ_ID) > 0
AND INSTR(EUL5_GET_ITEM_NAME(QPP.QS_ID),EXP.EXP_ID) > 0
GROUP BY
OBJ.OBJ_NAME,
EXP.EXP_NAME;
Script 2:
=========
This one examines the whole EUL and displays a count of the number of times a worksheet has been run by folder. It also shows the date and time of the last run. This one is useful to determine the most and / or least popular worksheets. Adjusting the ORDER BY clause can throw up some interesting results.
SELECT
OBJ.OBJ_NAME FOLDER,
MAX(QPP.QS_CREATED_DATE) LAST_DATE,
QPP.QS_DOC_OWNER OWNER,
QPP.QS_DOC_NAME WORKBOOK_NAME,
QPP.QS_DOC_DETAILS SHEET_NAME,
COUNT(QPP.QS_ID) USAGE
FROM
DRAKE.EUL5_OBJS OBJ,
DRAKE.EUL5_QPP_STATS QPP
WHERE
INSTR(QPP.QS_OBJECT_USE_KEY,OBJ.OBJ_ID) > 0
GROUP BY
OBJ.OBJ_NAME,
QPP.QS_DOC_OWNER,
QPP.QS_DOC_DETAILS,
QPP.QS_DOC_NAME
ORDER BY
OBJ.OBJ_NAME,
COUNT(QPP.QS_ID) DESC;
I'm considering a blog entry of useful EUL scripts. Anyone interested? Yes - either reply here or drop me a line.
Best wishes

How to find which tables are filling by a transaction

hi ,
what is the process to know which talbes are filled by a particular transaction eg, by using tcode vd03 we create customer , which we can see in kna1 tables.

Use trace like
- SQL trace, [ST05 (doc)|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/43/cb632772cd0cd4e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm] will show you the tables accessed.
- performance trace, [SE30 (doc)|http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/00/e0a73e5b7a424de10000000a114084/frameset.htm] will show you the tables accessed, the FM used, etc.
NB: VD03 is an inquiry transaction, i suppose you meant VD01

How to figure out which tables are using Extensible Optimizer?

Hi guys,
I'm sure that there're several tables those are associated with Extensible Optimizer in my database, I can also find the Extensible Optimizer relevant type and the implementation of interface functions ODCIGetInterfaces, ODCIStatsTableFunction.
I'm curious to know is there a way to figure out which tables are associated with this Extensible Optimizer, does anyone have any clues?

I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button

I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button to navigate back to my starting point the bookmarks are replaced by "page thumbnails". Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

Hi Pusman,
While setting up the links, if you choose to open the file in a new window then you won't face this issue, then you can simply switch to the previous file and bookmark view will remain as it is.
Does that helps with your query?

How can I know in which Tables are the fields stored

Hi,
In transaction FSE3 Display Financial Version
Statement Version, if I drilldown in details, I can
see Item No, Chart of Acc, From Accountm To Account D,
C.
when I do a F1 on the fields, I can see that it is a
structure. How can I know in which Tables are the
fields store?

Hi Ankit,
There are no rules or guidelines for finding the table but i will share some of the tips used generally.........but i am not sure if we can do it for a tree structure..but try anyways....
Double click on the structure name seen on the F1 pop up window...
in the structure screen, try to analyse the field which is very important something like a key in that set of fields or do the same for the fields which we feel are more important,then click on the domain for that field....once in the domain..click on the "where used list for the domain" on the top...
it will display a pop up -> select only "table" and then press "Tick/OK"..A list will be displayed with the data element and table name ..from this we need to find out the right one we need either by going for text of the table or going through each and every one
It takes time but does the job.....

Byju

In which tables are batch input error messages logged?

does anybody know in which table are the batch input error messages logged?
I have to display the error messages which have occured during the transaction
I tried to find out, but i could see only the table BDCMSGCOLL, this table has only the Batch input message number and not the message itself?
does anybody know about the batch input error messages?

hi,
check the sample code below.
messtab is of type BDCMSGCOLL.
Call the transaction and then use T100 to get the message.
DATA: l_mstring(480).
call transaction using
REFRESH messtab.
CALL TRANSACTION tcode USING bdcdata
                   MODE   ctumode

l_subrc = sy-subrc.
SKIP.
LOOP AT messtab.
    SELECT SINGLE * FROM t100 WHERE sprsl = messtab-msgspra
                              AND   arbgb = messtab-msgid
                              AND   msgnr = messtab-msgnr.
    IF sy-subrc = 0.
      l_mstring = t100-text.
      IF l_mstring CS '&1'.
        REPLACE '&1' WITH messtab-msgv1 INTO l_mstring.
        REPLACE '&2' WITH messtab-msgv2 INTO l_mstring.
        REPLACE '&3' WITH messtab-msgv3 INTO l_mstring.
        REPLACE '&4' WITH messtab-msgv4 INTO l_mstring.
      ELSE.
        REPLACE '&' WITH messtab-msgv1 INTO l_mstring.
        REPLACE '&' WITH messtab-msgv2 INTO l_mstring.
        REPLACE '&' WITH messtab-msgv3 INTO l_mstring.
        REPLACE '&' WITH messtab-msgv4 INTO l_mstring.

      CONDENSE l_mstring.
      WRITE: /4 messtab-msgtyp, l_mstring(250).
    ELSE.
      WRITE: /4 messtab.

How to find which devices are still using affected domain controller

Hi Everyone,
We have a 5 Domain controller's in a Site. And we are going to decommisson one of our affected DC in a site.
Can you please let me know how to find the log files to see which devices are still using this domain controller.
Regards,
Neel kamal
Neel kamal

Neel,
From strictly an Active Directory perspective, there is nothing special you need to do to decommission a domain controller in a site. There are many processes that automatically balance out and recreate connections as needed without any user intervention.
The DC Locator process will automatically direct clients to active domain controllers, there is nothing you need to do here.
What you need to be concerned with are things like the following:
DNS - Are you running AD integrated DNS and is the DC you are decommissioning hosting that roll - if so, is it the ONLY DC in the
site that is running DNS? You'll need at least one in the site.
DHCP server - Is the DC you are demoting a DHCP server? You'll need to account for that.
Global Catalog - Is the DC you are demoting a Global Catalog server? You'll need at least one in the site.
File Shares - Is the DC hosting any files shares? You'll need to move those and make sure you redirect your clients.
Was this DC a set as a Preferred Bridgehead Server? You'll need to undo that first.
Those are the big ones that come to mind. Decommissioning a DC is easy if you have prepared properly. The others that have replied have offered some great advice which you should follow. Do your homework and you should be fine.
Hope that helps

Dear Buijink ,
Thanks for the info.
Here in this table SMOFTABLES , it is giving the CRM adopter objects with R/3 tables . But my requirement is more on corresponding CRM Tables , the data fetching from R/3 tables will store in which CRM tables.To be clear the adopter objects extract the data from different R/3 tables but stores in to which tables?
Thanks in advance

Finding which table generated how much redo

I'm wondering if we can find from any view that during this period a particular table generated how much amount of redo log , other than logminer ?
We have a particular application and want to know which tables are generating most of the redo.

Nologging only affects very very specific operations. For exmaple, from the
alter index syntax statement in the SQL reference:
LOGGING|NOLOGGING
LOGGING|NOLOGGING specifies that subsequent Direct Loader (SQL*Loader) and
direct-load INSERT operations against a nonpartitioned index, a range or hash
index partition, or all partitions or subpartitions of a composite-partitioned
index will be logged (LOGGING) or not logged (NOLOGGING) in the redo log file.
In NOLOGGING mode, data is modified with minimal logging (to mark new extents
invalid and to record dictionary changes). When applied during media recovery,
the extent invalidation records mark a range of blocks as logically corrupt,
because the redo data is not logged. Therefore, if you cannot afford to lose
this index, you must take a backup after the operation in NOLOGGING mode.
If the database is run in ARCHIVELOG mode, media recovery from a backup taken
before an operation in LOGGING mode will re-create the index. However, media
recovery from a backup taken before an operation in NOLOGGING mode will not
re-create the index.
An index segment can have logging attributes different from those of the base
table and different from those of other index segments for the same base table.
That also explains why the truncate above generated redo -- The statement
"minimal logging (to mark new extents invalid and to record dictionary
changes)." explains where that redo comes from. The blocks that were truncated
were not logged HOWEVER the changes to the data dictionary itself were.
