Advanced Table Compression Create Table with LOBs

Hi,
I need some help with the Advanced Table Compression when creating a table especially when they contain a LOB.
Here are 3 examples:
Exp#1
CREATE TABLE emp (
      emp_id NUMBER,
      first_name VARCHAR2(128),
      last_name VARCHAR2(128)
) COMPRESS FOR OLTP;
This one is ok - all elements are compressed.
Exp#2
CREATE TABLE photos (
      photo_id NUMBER,
      photo BLOB)
      LOB(photo) STORE AS SECUREFILE (COMPRESS LOW);
This one I am confused - is it just the LOB(photo) that is compressed or the whole table. If it is just the LOB then what syntax do I need for the whole table?
I also assume that the LOB is being stored in the default tablespace associated with this table - correct me if I am wrong!
Exp#3
CREATE TABLE images (
      image_id NUMBER,
      image BLOB)
      LOB(image) STORE AS SECUREFILE (TABLESPACE lob_tbs COMPRESS);
This one I am confused - I think it is telling me that LOB(image) is being compresses and stored in tablespace lob_tbs and the other elements are being stored uncompressed in the default tablespace.
Again if it is just the LOB then what syntax do I need for the whole table?
Thanks & regards

Updating an existing table using Create Table As

I want to update a table, because the schema has changed..
Example:
create table a (a number(2), b varchar(2) NOT NULL);
insert into a values (22, 'JA');
Suppose i want to ad a column c number(3) between a and b, and i want to increase datalength of b to 3,
the i perform the following
create table a_temp as (select a, cast(0 as number(3)) c, cast(b as varchar(3)) b from a);
drop table a;
rename a_temp to a;
But now all columns allow null... I want the last column to be NOT NULL!
How do i do this (within the statement)?
Then another question, the statement:
RENAME a_temp to a;
does not allow the owner name in it,
but how does it know which table it has to rename?
Cant you rename a table for another owner?
Is it true that owner==tablespace?
Thanks in advance

You may find this article helpful:
http://www.dizwell.com/prod/node/63
It uses the online table redefinition capability to partition a table which previously wasn't partitioned. It's exactly the same principle adding a column, changing constraints, renaming columns, making columns longer and so on.
You might also find this article useful:
http://www.dizwell.com/prod/node/64
It discusses the issues surrounding renaming a table, including how I can rename your tables.
Generally, you might want to poke around the articles link at www.dizwell.com if you are in a learning sort of mood.
No, it's not true that owner=tablespace. A tablespace is a logical way of thinking of a set of physical data files. Those files can contain anything (index, cluster, table, materialized view) owned by anyone who happens to have the rights to store things there. Therefore, the tablespace representation of those files also contains lots of objects owned by lots of users.
The only relationship between an owner and a tablespace is that when I create you as a user, I state which tablespace will be used to store your objects **by default** -but that default can always be over-ridden, provided that you have been granted rights (that is, space quotas) on other tablespaces.

Problem CREATE TABLE with PRIMARY KEY Still in Trouble ! Please Help!

Hi there !
I use the orcle 8i, and i don't know why i can't create table with any primary key EXample:
SQL> CREATE TABLE O_caisses
2 (No_caisse NUMBER(3) constraint caisses_pk PRIMARY KEY,
3 NB_BILLETS NUMBER(5)
4 )
5 /
CREATE TABLE O_caisses
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-18008: cannot find OUTLN schema
***********some Debuger show me this way: *********************
Well there r certain point u got to notice when creating a table with constraints.
1) U can create table with COLUMN level constraint.
2) U can create table with TABLE level constraint.
3) In COLUMN level constraint u can't give a constraint a name
but only mention the type of constraint.
4) In TABLE level constraint u can give a name to constraint.
Following are the examples of both
--COLUMN LEVEL
CREATE TABLE O_caisses
(No_caisse NUMBER(3) PRIMARY KEY,
NB_BILLETS NUMBER(5));
--TABLE LEVEL
CREATE TABLE O_caisses
(No_caisse NUMBER(3),
NB_BILLETS NUMBER(5),
constraint pk_caisse primary key (No_caisse));
********************And this is another one:*****************
SQL>grant create any outline to username;
BUT the problem is still present, i don't know what to do now !
Please could some body help me !
Thanks alot!
Luong.

The clue is in the error message: the OUTLN schema is missing.
This is something Oracle 8i introduced to help manage the CBO (or soemthing equally geeky and internal). For some reason your database no longer has this user. It ought to be created automatically during installation (or upgrade) but catproct may not have completed probably or some over zealous admin type has dropped it.
Solution is to re-install (or re-upgrade) as you cannot create this user on their own. Alas.

How can I add a new column in compress partition table.

I have a compress partition table when I add a new column in that table it give me an error "ORA-22856: CANNOT ADD COLUMNS TO OBJECT TABLES". I had cretaed a table in this clause. How can I add a new column in compress partition table.
CREATE TABLE Employee
Empno Number,
Tr_Date Date
COMPRESS PARTITION BY RANGE (Tr_Date)
PARTITION FIRST Values LESS THAN (To_Date('01-JUL-2006','DD-MON-YYYY')),
PARTITION JUNK Values LESS THAN (MAXVALUE));
Note :
When I create table with this clause it will allow me to add a column.
CREATE TABLE Employee
Empno Number,
Tr_Date Date
PARTITION BY RANGE (Tr_Date)
PARTITION FIRST Values LESS THAN (To_Date('01-JUL-2006','DD-MON-YYYY')),
PARTITION JUNK Values LESS THAN (MAXVALUE));
But for this I have to drop and recreate the table and I dont want this becaue my table is in online state i cannot take a risk. Please give me best solution.

Hi Fahed,
I guess, you are using Oracle 9i Database Release 9.2.0.2 and the Table which you need to alter is in OLTP environment where data is usually inserted using regular inserts. As a result, these tables generally do not get much benefit from using table compression. Table compression works best on read-only tables that are loaded once but read many times. Tables used in data warehousing applications, for example, are great candidates for table compression.

Topic : When to Use Table Compression
Bug
Reference : http://dba.ipbhost.com/lofiversion/index.php/t147.html
BUG:<2421054>
Affects: RDBMS (9-A0)
NB: FIXED
Abstract: ENH: Allow ALTER TABLE to ADD/DROP columns for tables using COMPRESS feature
Details:
This is an enhancement to allow "ALTER TABLE" to ADD/DROP
columns for tables using the COMPRESS feature.
In 9i errors are reported for ADD/DROP but the text may
be misleading:
eg:
ADD column fails with "ORA-22856: cannot add columns to object tables"
DROP column fails with "ORA-12996: cannot drop system-generated virtual column"
Note that a table which was previously marked as compress which has
now been altered to NOCOMPRESS also signals such errors as the
underlying table could still contain COMPRESS format datablocks.
As of 10i ADD/SET UNUSED is allowed provided the ADD has no default value.

Create table runs in Toad but not in Linux

Hello,
I've just started writing in SQL 3 days ago so I would like to apologize in advance for the shabby code and the stupid question. I'm hoping that somebody can help me with my problem.
Anyway, this has been bugging me for 2 days now and I can't seem to find the problem. The code below is just a simple create table that I coded in Toad for Oracle by Quest Software and runs fine in it but when I try to copy it over to our linux server and run it using '@/home/user/atm_dc.sql', the table is not created.
Can someone help me?
Thanks.

Error report:
SQL Command: CREATE TABLE
Failed: Warning: execution completed with warning"
I am on 10.2.0.3. The CREATE TABLE always completes successfully, but the warning bugs me, and I have had no success tracking it down since there is no associated numberr.
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi ,
The Oracle JDBC driver is returning this warning so I will be logging an issue with them, but for the moment SQL Developer will continue to report the warning as is.
The reason for the warning is not clear or documented as far as I can tell,
but I have replicated the issue with a simpler testcase which makes it easier to have a guess about the issue :)
----START
DROP TABLE sourcetable ;
CREATE TABLE sourcetable(col1 char);
INSERT INTO sourcetable VALUES('M');
DROP TABLE customers_phone;
CREATE TABLE customers_phone AS
SELECT MAX(decode(col1, 'm','OK' , NULL)) COLALIAS
FROM sourcetable;
----END
The warning occurs in the above script in SQL Developer , but not in SQL*Plus.
The warning disappears when we change 'm' to 'M'.
The warning disappears when we change NULL to 'OK2'
In all cases the table creates successfully and the appropriate values inserted.
My gut feeling is ...
During the definition of customers_phone, Oracle has to work out what the COLALIAS datatype is.
When it sees NULL as the only alternative (as sourcetable.col1 = 'M' not 'm') it throws up a warning. It then has to rely on the 'OK' value to define the COLALIAS datatype, even though the 'OK' value wont be inserted as sourcetable.col1 = 'M' and not 'm'. So Oracle makes the correct decision to define the COLALIAS as VARCHAR2(2), but the warning is just to say it had to use the alternative value to define the column.
Why SQL*Plus does not report it and JDBC does, I'm not sure. Either way it doesn't look like a real issue.
Again, this is just a guess and not a fact.
Just though an update was in order.

Dermot.

NESTED Tables for Sub-types when creating table for Super-type

If I create the following types, as an example:
Person with subtypes: Employee and Customer
Appointment
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE Person_OT AS OBJECT (
person#                         NUMBER,
personSurname                    VARCHAR2(50),
personForenames               VARCHAR2(50),
personDateOfBirth               DATE,
personAddress                    Address_OT,
) NOT FINAL ;
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE Employee UNDER Person_OT (
empSalary               NUMBER,
empNoSales          NUMBER,
makes               Appointment_List_OT
) FINAL ;
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE Appointment_OT AS OBJECT (
some attributes
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE Appointment_List_OT AS TABLE OF REF Appointment_OT ;
When creating the table to hold objects of Person type, how can the requisite nested table for representing 'makes' be declared? The below approach is not correct, however the table will not compile without naming the nested tables.
CREATE TABLE Person_TBL OF Person_OT (
Person#     PRIMARY KEY)
NESTED TABLE makes STORE AS Appointment_List_NTBL;
Advice very much appreciated!

CREATE TABLE Person_TBL OF Person_OT(
Person# PRIMARY KEY)
NESTED TABLE TREAT(SYS_NC_ROWINFO$ AS EMPLOYEE).MAKES STORE AS Appointment_List_NTBL

How to create table using mysql in LabVIEW

Hii
I am using mysql database Toolkit for my project. In that how to New create a table. Is there any possiblilites to create a table using query...can u send a sample prg ... and inform which toolkit Vi to use....

The SQL syntax for creating a table is:
CREATE TABLE table_name
column_name1 data_type,
column_name2 data_type,
column_name3 data_type,
)The toolkit has a funciton called DB Tools Create Table. That would be the obvious function to use if you don't want to execute a SQL query to create the table. The tooklit comes with examples. Have you looked at them? There's one called Create Database Table that would seem to be exactly what you are looking for.

Create table by another table query wid contraints

ORA-00911 w/create table

I'm trying to execute an SQL file with the following code:
create table "t_ap_xml"
"XML_ID" NUMBER,
"XML_NAME" VARCHAR2(128),
"XML_TYPE" VARCHAR(32),
"XML_CONTENT" "SYS"."XML_TYPE",
"XML_DESCRIPTION" VARCHAR2(4000)
..And i'm receiving the following error:
ERROR at line 8:
ORA-00911: invalid character
It is pointing to the semicolon as the problem. If i remove the semicolon, it seems to work. But if I place that code in a DDL with other create table commands, it gives me a ORA-00922 error at the line with the next create statement. Any ideas? Thanks.

I guess I should have been a bit more clear..
I am using SQL*Plus, and GET-ing a text .sql file made in a text editor.
It seems to work without the semicolon and only creating that single table. However, a problem occurs when trying to use multiple CREATE TABLE statements in the same sql file.
So for example.. here is an excerpt:
create table t_ap_xml
create table another_table
Generates the following error:
ORA-00922: missing or invalid option
..That error occurs on the line in which the second CREATE TABLE statement was issued.
Thanks for any help!

Special Characters in Create Table......

How can I use & sign in the column name in Create Table Statement:
Create Table
(aa&bb varchar2(10));

You can create table with column name having "&" in the following way... but I won't recommend that because you'll have problems when you would need to Query the table or perform any DML operation!!
SQL> Create Table not_good_practise
2 ("aa&bb" varchar2(10));
Enter value for bb: &bb
old 2: ("aa&bb" varchar2(10))
new 2: ("aa&bb" varchar2(10))
Table created.
SQL> desc not_good_practise
Name Null? Type
aa&bb VARCHAR2(10)
SQL> drop table not_good_practise;
Table dropped.
Be sure ... why you want to do something like this before you put it in your design.

Logical Standy - create table error

Hi,
I have a primary database from which i create a new table as:
create table abc as select * from xyz;
On the logical standby the table is NOT created and I get lots of PL/SQL errors in the alert_log created via the STDBYLOG session. The table cannot be created and I have to skip it manually.
should the create table statement work on the logical standby automatically? Has anyone else used this with success.
Thanks,
Steve.

By default, DDL on the primary should be replicated on the logical standby (at least in Oracle 9.2-- haven't looked into earlier versions). There is a section in the Oracle Data Guard Administrator's Guide on how to skip applying DDL to the logical standby http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96653/manage_ls.htm#1017328. Is it possible that the standby system was configured to ignore new tables?

Table compression and alter table statement

Friends
I am trying to add columns to a table which is compressed. Since Oracle treats compressed tables as Object tables, I cannot add columns directly so I tried to uncompress table first and then add columns. This doesnt seems to work.
What could be issue.
Thanks
Vishal V.
Script to test is here and results are below.
-- Test1 => add columns to uncompressed table -> Success
DROP TABLE TAB_COMP;
CREATE TABLE TAB_COMP(ID NUMBER) NOCOMPRESS;
ALTER TABLE TAB_COMP ADD (NAME VARCHAR2(10));
-- Test2 =. try adding columns to compressed tables, uncompress it and then try again -> Fails
DROP TABLE TAB_COMP;
CREATE TABLE TAB_COMP(ID NUMBER) COMPRESS;
ALTER TABLE TAB_COMP ADD (NAME VARCHAR2(10));
ALTER TABLE TAB_COMP move NOCOMPRESS;
ALTER TABLE TAB_COMP ADD (NAME VARCHAR2(10));
