Allowing Duplicates in PK table

Hello,
I have a PK index table with unique constraints. How can I configure this index to allow duplicate values? Can this be done at the SQL Plus command line? Please advise.

Very Simple just Drop the primary key/unique constraint.

Fact Table allows duplicate records

Is Fact Table allows duplicate records?

What do you mean by duplicate records? It could be what appears duplicate to you is having some other technical key info that are different in the fact table.
At technical level, there wouldn't be duplicate records in fact table [in SAP's BW/BI there are two fact tables for each cube - which can itself cause some confusion]

Primary key allows duplicate entry in data dictionary

Hi Friends,
                 I have created table to save contact details. here i have assigned USERID and CELL_NO as primary key but when i am trying to create new entry it allows duplicate value. How can i prevent this ?
Please review my attached image for more details.
Thank you Friends.

Hi Karthi,
              I think table logic is correct. it mean if you entered both primary key same only it wont allow but here you mentioned same cell no but different ID so it will accepts.
E.g
     cell no 1234
     user id xxx
     cell no 1234
    user id xxx
above logic wont allows
but you mentioned
cell no 1234
user id xxx
cell no 1234
user id xyz
if you need to remove duplicates mean you should maintain primary key as cell no only not both..
revert back if you didnt get clear.

SQLLDR direct path allows duplicates in primary key

I would like to use sqlldr direct path to load millions of records in the table but direct path allows duplicates on the primary key constraints.
inserts duplicates
sqlldr deploy_ctl/deploy_ctl@dba01mdm control=ctl_test.ctl direct=true
primary key is enabled
I am not understanding the behavior that why primary key is still enabled -- (logically it should have disabled than inserted duplicates)
does not insert duplicates
sqlldr deploy_ctl/deploy_ctl@dba01mdm control=ctl_test.ctl
primary key is enabled
Please can I know if there is any work around to use direct path with primary constraints in place.

Dear,
Look at the following example
mhouri.world> drop table t1;
Table dropped.
mhouri.world> create table t1 (id number);
Table created.
mhouri.world> alter table t1 add constraint t1_pk primary key (id);
Table altered.
mhouri.world> select table_name, index_name, status
2 from user_indexes
3 where table_name = 'T1';
TABLE_NAME                     INDEX_NAME                     STATUS
T1                             T1_PK                          VALID
mhouri.world> select count(1) from t1;
COUNT(1)
         0                                                                      and here call sqlldr
C:\>sqlldr xxx/xxx@xxxx control=c.ctl bad=c.bad direct=trueAnd see what happen to the primary key index
mhouri.world> select count(1) from t1;
COUNT(1)
         4
mhouri.world> select * from t1;
        ID
         1
         2
         2

Allowing duplicate in FOR ALL ENTRIES statement

Hi folks,
I am using a select query using FOR ALL ENTRIES statement. I could observe one entry is missing from the table data.When i checked that in the data base table, there are two duplicate records among which one entry is missed in the output data from the query.Is duplicates are restricted if we use FOR ALL ENTRIES statement ? Is there any key word like 'ALLOWING DUPLICATES' for this ? if not what is the solution for this.Could any body help me regarding this.
Thanks,
Shyam.
Edited by: Matt on Jul 9, 2009 1:27 PM

Hi Shyam,
In For all entries you should give unique records only.
sort your base table with key which you are passing in for all entries clause.
delete all duplicate entries.
Hope this will help .

Allowing duplicate members in outline or anything else?

Essbase 9.3.1 + OBI EE 10g
I have such dimension in outline
Dim1
-Par1(+)
-Child1(+)
-Child2(+)
-Child3(+)
-Par2(~)
-Child1(+) (shared)
-Child2(+) (shared)
-Par3(~)
-Child2(+) (shared)
-Child3(+) (shared)
and also have dimension Period
Period
-Year1(+)
-mon1.Year1(+)
-mon2.Year1(+)
-mon12.Year1(+)
-Year2(+)
-mon1.Year2(+)
-mon2.Year2(+)
-mon12.Year2(+)
and have dimension Measures
Measures
-cost(~)
Problem:
"Child1", "Child2" and "Child3" are the children of the "Par1" for all of the "Years"
"Child1" is the child of the "Par2" for all of the "Years"
"Child3" is the child of the "Par3" for all of the "Years"
But "Child2" is the child of the "Par2" when the period="Year1"
and "Child2" is the child of the "Par3" when the period="Year2".
So when the combination is Year1->Par2.Child2->cost i want to see the real result and when the combination is Year2->Par2.Child2->cost i want to see #Missing or Zero(0).
But when i use shared members i always get decimal result even if i apply formula to cost(depending on value of the Period dim) because physically the is only one value for all of the shared members in database.
Instead of shared members to solve this problem I can add to children of "Dim1" the name of their parents(ex. "Child2(Par2)" and "Child2(Par3)") and then apply specific formulas to "cost". But business users dont want to see these addings and cut them in their reports.
So if i allow essbase to use duplicate members will it resolve my problem or there are another ways to do it?

Hi again.
Use this method (without allowing duplicate members) and unfortunately cant stay with it.
1. I always create aggregational views after importing the data into cube.
But now after arrgregation i cant open dim Country.(got the error "Cannot send data") in EAS and OBI. In essbase.cfg two parameters(NetDelay.. and NetRetry...) are equal 75000.
Made two tricks in windows registry - the same. Understood that it was because of one member of level 1(c99) which has 228 childen and each children has such formula
"IIF(substring([Times].CurrentMember.Member_Name,3,4) ="02",c732,IIF(substring([Times].CurrentMember.Member_Name,3,4) ="03",c732,IIF(substring([Times].CurrentMember.Member_Name,3,4) ="04",c732,IIF(substring([Times].CurrentMember.Member_Name,3,4) ="05",c732,IIF(substring([Times].CurrentMember.Member_Name,3,4) ="06",c732,IIF(substring([Times].CurrentMember.Member_Name,3,4) ="07",c732,IIF(substring([Times].CurrentMember.Member_Name,3,4) ="08",c732,IIF(substring([Times].CurrentMember.Member_Name,3,4) ="09",c732,IIF(substring([Times].CurrentMember.Member_Name,3,4) ="10",c732,IIF(substring([Times].CurrentMember.Member_Name,3,4) ="11",c732,MISSING))))))))))"
after filtering on all other members(even together) i got the result. But i dont understand why...Other 14 level-1 members also has children(max 178) and they queries normally.
More detailed dim Country
Country(Hierarchies Enabled)
-c00(stored)(+)(256 members)
--c100
--c103
--c900
-c10(Dynamic)(~)(10 members)
--c100(c10)(+)(formula above)
--c300(c10)(+)(formula above)
-c20(Dynamic)(~)(178 members)
--c100(c20)(+)(formula above)
--c200(c20)(+)(formula above)
-c99(Dynamic)(~)(228 members)
--c100(c99)(+)(formula above)
--c200(c99)(+)(formula above)
If i dont make aggr views i got the result even with "c99" in different combination (but sometimes also got the error "cannot send data")
2. But the main trouble is obiee pivot table.
If i choose level-2 members of this dim with different measures and other dim members it shows the result.
But after i set function SUM(before, after etc) in pivot i get "no data found".
except stored member "c00" - with it i get my SUM.
If i add filer with ONE! year inside i get my SUM. If more than one or none - "no data found"
except stored member "c00" - with it i get my SUM.
So now i see only one way...The whole dim Country is Stored
In Measure "Cost" i add big formula like "IIF(substring([Times].CurrentMember.Member_Name,3,4) ="02" and IIF([Country].CurrentMember.Member_Name,3,4) ="c100(c10)", c100...
for each member...and there will be a lot of measures (CostN...) course the formula is very huge...

Deleting Duplicates from a table

Its a huge table with 52 fields and 30k rows. I need to delete the duplicates based on one of the fields. GROUP BY is taking a lot of time. Is there a quicker way to delete the duplicates using SQL.
Thanks.

How many duplicates have you got? Do you have even a vague idea? 1%? 20%? 90%?
One way would be to add a unique constraint on the column in question. This will fail, of course, but you can use the EXCEPTIONS INTO clause to find all the ROWIDs which have duplicate values. You can then choose to delete those rows using a variant on teh query already posted. You may need to run %ORACLE_HOME%\rdbms\admin\utlexcptn.sql to build the EXCEPTIONS table first.
This may seem like some unnecessary work, but the most effective way of deleting duplicates from a table is to have relational integrity constraints in place which prevent you having duplicates in the first place. To paraphrase Tim Gorman, you can't get faster than zero work!

Overlapping Number Ranges for GL Accounts - does this allow duplicates?

Hi there,.
I am just-trying to understand GL numbering ranges.
If I create two GL account groups with overlapping number ranges, what (if anything), is stopping me from creating two GL accounts with identical numbers.
When l try to do this in fs00 I get a message telling me that the account already exists in the company code. Surely having the concept of an account group with overlapping number ranges implies that the account group forms part of the GL account's unique key and therefore allows duplicate GL account numbers.
Or does overlapping mean the ranges ovelap but the GL account numbers have to be unique?
Confused
Gerald.
Edited by: Gerald Dunn on Apr 26, 2011 6:57 PM

Hi,
Since a chart of accounts contains many different types of accounts, they can
be grouped into different account groups. Usually, one account group groups
accounts with the same tasks within the general ledger, for example, cash accounts,
material accounts, asset accounts, profit and loss statement accounts, and so on.
By assigning a number range to an account group, you can ensure that accounts
of the same type are within the same number range. Number intervals for G/L
account master records can overlap.
You must enter the account group in the chart of accounts segment; it controls the
appearance of the company code segment of a G/L account. For example, for all
of your cash accounts, you want to be able to display all of the line items. In
Customizing, you therefore alter the field status for your Cash Accounts account
group to make line item display a required entry field.
Thanks

Duplicates in the table

hi,
how to find the duplicates in the table in the below example
Id     Empfirstname     Empfirstlastname     empdesig
1     Xyz     Abc     Software Engg
2     Xyz     Abc     Software Engg

need query to display

2     Xyz     Abc     Software Engg

You might want to think about the 'upper-/lowercase-thing' and still being/being not duplicate in these cases.
If so, then spot the difference:

Maximum number of allowed pages in Pivot Table exceeded

Hi,
I am working on Oracle Business Intelligence 10.1.3.2.1 . We have a requirement to show one report in the Pivot layout.
But it throws one error: "Maximum number of allowed pages in Pivot Table exceeded (Configured Limit: 1000) "
So I have modified the Instanceconfig.xml with the following piece of code:
<PivotView>
     <MaxVisibleColumns>9000</MaxVisibleColumns>
     <MaxVisiblePages>90000</MaxVisiblePages>
     <MaxVisibleRows>9000000</MaxVisibleRows>

</PivotView>
<CubeMaxRecords>9000000</CubeMaxRecords>
<CubeMaxPopulatedCells>9000000</CubeMaxPopulatedCells>
The number of records is 30 398. In another report the amount is much higher than this number of records and bring it with no problem.
Can anyone please look into this Issue.

How to update duplicate row from table

Hi,
how to update duplicate row from table?
First to find duplicate row then update duplicate row with no to that duplicate row in oracle.
can you give me suggestion on it?
Thanks in advance.
your early response is appreciated...

In order to find a duplicate row, see:
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:1224636375004
(or search this forum, your question has been asked before)
In order to update it, just create and use an Oracle sequence, have it start and increment at a value that doesn't exist in your table.
If that doesn't get you going, post some CREATE TABLE + INSERT INTO statements, and the results you want from them, in other words: a complete testcase.
