Adding column to a table

Hi everybody,
I have to make a column (in Siebel repository) or better to say I have to add a column to the table. The column doesn't exist in a database. There is a PL/SQL package which has the stored procedure I need to call to make column. How may I make the column from the stored procedure?
Thanks in advance.
I apologize if the meaning from the above sentences is confused.

Update beans after adding columns to DB tables

I am trying to use JDeveloper 10G , Studio Edition Version 10.1.3.0.4.3673
I am having difficulty finding out how to update CMP Entity Beans
after adding columns to DB tables.
I have found descriptions of how to do these from four sources.
None of these methods work.
They all refer to menu options, buttons or fields that aren't in the JDevb IDE.
List of options that don't exist :
"Synchronize with Database"
"attributes"
"Add from table"
"New from Table"
"Fields Tab"

What version of EJBs are you using?
The only option I know of for EJBs will be to generate the bean from the table again, or manually add the field to the EJB.
The "Synchronize with Database" operation is there for ADF Business Components but not for EJBs.

Newly added column in a table not displayed in a related form

I added a new column (DNAMECONT as varchar2) in a table I created a Form on. I added this new field in my Form as a text field, and on the customized tab of the form wizard, this following code is displayed as expected :
<TR><TD><#DCONTRACTOR.LABEL#></TD><TD><#DCONTRACTOR.ITEM#></TD></TR>
But I cannot view it once I run my form.
did I forget to do something or is there something I did wrong?
Thank you for your help.
Bertrand

Sorry to interupt, as far as I understand, if you add extra column to a table after the form is built and you want to add this new column in your form. When you add new item in your form, the name you give to the item should exactly match the column name of your new column of the table. Now, you said you added a new column called DNAMECONT, but the
html shown in form wizard is <#DCONTRACTOR.LABEL#>, <#DCONTRACTOR.ITEM#>, two names do seem to match. Is that the problem?

SSAS Tabular - Adding Column to a table gives error "Object reference not set to instance of object"

If I make changes to a table in SSAS Tabular Visual Studio, the newly added column gives error as "Object
reference not set to instance of object"

Hi VikasJain13,
According to your description, you get the "Object reference not set to instance of object" error when adding columns in Tabular. Right?
Generally, it throws this error when the internal code is accessing the property of an empty object. As you mentioned it happens when you make changes on a table, mostly it means that table is already a empty object. Please re-process your tabular to see
if this table is still existing.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

General Scenario- Adding columns into a table with more than 100 million rows

I was asked/given a scenario, what issues do you encounter when you try to add new columns to a table with more than 200 million rows? How do you overcome those?
Thanks in advance.
svk

For such a large table, it is better to add the new column to the end of the table to avoid any performance impact, as RSingh suggested.
Also avoid to use any default on the newly created statement, or SQL Server will have to fill up 200 million fields with this default value. If you need one, add an empty column and update the column by using small batches (otherwise you lock up the whole
table). Add the default after all the rows have a value for the new column.

Is it necessary to update scope_info and scope_config when adding columns to a table in a provisioned database?

I followed the example provided in
https://jtabadero.wordpress.com/2011/04/13/modifying-sync-framework-scope-definition-part-3-workarounds-addingremoving-columns/ to add columns to a table in a provisioned database. The sample code replaces the stored procedures triggered when the
table is updated with new stored procedures which include the additional columns
However, the sample does not update scope_config. When I am finished, the new columns do not appear in the scope config. Looking at the SQL code it is immediately obvious why. Here is an excerpt from the beginning of the query
DROP PROCEDURE [PATIENT_insertmetadata];
DROP PROCEDURE [PATIENT_updatemetadata];
DROP PROCEDURE [PATIENT_deletemetadata];
-- BEGIN Enable Snapshot Isolation on Database 'PatScan' if needed
IF EXISTS (SELECT NAME FROM sys.databases where NAME = N'PatScan' AND [snapshot_isolation_state] = 0)
BEGIN
ALTER DATABASE [PatScan] SET ALLOW_SNAPSHOT_ISOLATION ON
END
GO
-- END Enable Snapshot Isolation on Database 'PatScan' if needed
-- BEGIN Create Scope Info Table named [scope_info]
IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT t.name FROM sys.tables t JOIN sys.schemas s ON s.schema_id = t.schema_id WHERE t.name = N'scope_info' AND s.name = N'dbo')
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE [scope_info] ([scope_local_id] int IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL, [scope_id] uniqueidentifier DEFAULT NEWID() NOT NULL, [sync_scope_name] nvarchar(100) NOT NULL, [scope_sync_knowledge] varbinary(max) NULL, [scope_tombstone_cleanup_knowledge] varbinary(max)
NULL, [scope_timestamp] timestamp NULL, [scope_config_id] uniqueidentifier NULL, [scope_restore_count] int DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL, [scope_user_comment] nvarchar(max) NULL)
ALTER TABLE [scope_info] ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_scope_info] PRIMARY KEY ([sync_scope_name])
END
GO
-- END Create Scope Info Table named [scope_info]

IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT t.name FROM sys.tables t JOIN sys.schemas s ON s.schema_id = t.schema_id WHERE t.name = N'scope_config' AND s.name = N'dbo')
BEGIN
CREATE TABLE [scope_config] ([config_id] uniqueidentifier NOT NULL, [config_data] xml NOT NULL, [scope_status] char NULL)
ALTER TABLE [scope_config] ADD CONSTRAINT [PK_scope_config] PRIMARY KEY ([config_id])
END
GO
-- END Create Scope Config Table named [scope_config]
In an already provisioned database, the scope_info and scope_config tables already exist. Hence the portions of the script to create the scope_info and scope_config tables are skipped. I tried modifying the query to drop these tables. When
I do so, ne tables are created but they only define the modified table.
Is it necessary to update scope_info and scope_config? Are there are side effects (such as deprovisioning) if I drop and then recreate these tables? Can I just update the existing scope_config, replacing the portion of the XML which defines the table
being modified? Do I have to make changes in scope_info?
Thanks

Problems adding columns in a table

Hi,
I defined a table. Now I need to add new columns. In OWB I set them in their correct order but when I deploy the table with upgrade, in the database, columns appear at the end of the table.
Does anyone know this problem, how can i resolve this?
Thanks
Beatriz

You mean ordered in the table as shown in a mapping or table editor window? This ordering is only visual and will not impact meta-data definition.
If it is really important the best solution is to:
- replace the table with new/altered columns by script in SQLplus/Toad
- do import of table in OWB (mention the 'Advanced Reconciliation Options' uncheck the 'Preserve...' boxes)
- reconcile inbound in a mapping where the table is used. Lines to columns will stay if the column-name didn't change.
Anybody know this issue is solved in OWB 10g R2?

Add columns to a table with lob column

Hi,
Just a quick question: is there a performance penalty after adding columns to a table with a lob fied? the lob field is now the last column in the table and via via I was told that adding columns will impact badly the IO performance on the table if the lob field isn't anymore the last column. The table is on a Oracle 10.2.0.3 version.
thanks. regards
Ivan

Havent heard of performance degradation specifically due to a LOB column not being the last column in a table (although there are several issues with just having a LOB column in a table).
You may want to build a test database to test it out. It should be easy to run tests comparing one with the additional column and one the original to prove or refute it. The results would be interesting to learn - please post them up if you intend to test it out.

Setting a Primary Key for a newly added Column

Is it possible for setting a primary key for a newly added column in a table having records?

Hi,
km**** wrote:
oh if the table has records then it is not possible ah...No, the table can have rows at the time you add the Primary Key constraint. Solomon was just saying that the column(s) that you are making into the Primary Key must already have unique values. A Primary Key can not be NULL, so you must do the steps in this order:
(1) ALTER TABLE to add the column(s) (if this hasn't been done already)
(2) UPDATE the table, to put unique values in all rows for the Primary Key column(s)
(3) Add the PRIMARY KEY constraint
You need to do step (2) before you do step (3)

After adding one column in a table can't get the header line

hi all,
i have make a SMART FORM which was working perfectly.Now the requirement of user is to add one column in my table at smart form which i did and after modification i execute it it give me data as well but issue which i'm facing is that the TABLE at smart forms in which i have add one field is not displaying the HEADER LINE which i have define with SELECT PATTREN option.
Thanks & Regards,
sappk25

Hi,
Have you created the Header Text? If yes, then might be the case that your smartforms
table which was already created is with Multiple Line. Check weather you have added
customer field in Header Line or Not?

Adding a new Big INT column to existing table in production, which holds 700 million records will impact anything in production?

Hi Guys,
I have to add a new Big INT column to existing table in production, which holds 700 million records and would like to know the impact?
I have been tolled by one of my colleagues that last time they tried adding a column to same table during working hour and it locked out the table and impacted the users.
Please suggest/share If any one had similar experience.
Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please Vote

If you add a new column to a table using an ALTER TABLE ADD command and specify that the new column allows NULLs and you do not define a default value, then it will take a table lock. However, once it gets the table lock, it will essentially run instantly
and then free the table lock. That will add this new column as the last column in the table, for example
ALTER MyTable ADD MyNewColumn bigint NULL;
But if you your change adds a new column with a default value, or you do something like using table designer to add the new column in the middle of the current list of columns, then SQL will have to rewrite the table. So it will get a table lock, rewrite
the whole table and then free the table lock. That will take a considerable amount of time and the table lock will be held for that whole period of time.
But, no matter how you make the change, if at all possible, I would not alter a table schema on a production database during working hours. Do it when nothing else is going on.

Error when adding columns to table and update sync group schema

Hi,
I have an Azure SQL Database that is synced to five lokal SQL Server Express 2012 clients. Today I had to add some columns to the tables, I did this using SMMS and ALTER TABLE on the hub-database.
Then I disabled auto-sync in the Azure Portal and updated the sync schema.
The first error I got when clicking on Save-Button was that my goup is not ready for syncing. I assumed that was caused by two sync agents who were offline. So I deleted them from the group and the error was gone. (is this an generall issue that all agents
must be online to update the schema?)
But then I got the next error when clicking on Save-Button who tells me SQL Error 207, invalid column name on the new columns I've added.
Here's the error in the eventlog:

Hello,
When you alter the table on hub database, did you specify the new column allow NULLs or have a DEFAULT? The column must allow NULLs or have a DEFAULT for the user to create it in the other tables on the sync group.
Reference:Add or remove a column in a sync group
If the issue persists, you may try to delete the sync group and recreate the group.

Adding primary key column in populated table

Hi all,
I am trying to add a column into a table which is already populated. The column which needs to be added has to be Primary Key.
As expected, oracle popped up the error (ORA-01758) that, a NOT NULL column cannot be added unless the table is empty.
One possibe way is to create a new temp table and then transfer all the current data...renaming the temp table later.
Is there any other way to accomplish this task?
Thanks

Hello,
As error suggested you cannot add a not null constraint on new column to table which is already populated. What else you can do beside you got fairly simple and quick idea of creating a temp table and moving data?
You can add new column but null, update the column with the values and alter the table marking column as not null. But your idea of empty temp table is simple and quick one.
CREATE TABLE my_objects
AS
   SELECT 'my_new_column' my_new, owner
   FROM all_objects
   WHERE ROWNUM < 1;
_Not Null_
ALTER TABLE MY_OBJECTS
MODIFY(MY_NEW NOT NULL);
_Primary key_
ALTER TABLE MY_OBJECTS
ADD CONSTRAINT MY_OBJECTS_PK
PRIMARY KEY
(MY_NEW);Regards
