Can I Select from table skipping extents linked with lost datafiles?

Hi~,
I need your help to recover my database.
I'm using oracle 9.2.0.8 at Fedora 3 with no-archive mode.
and I don't have any backup.
Last night, I experenced hard disk failure.
I tried OS-level recovery, but I lost some datafiles of tablespace.
anyway, I wanted to recover my database without data of lost datafiles.
so, I issued "alter database datafile offline drop" and
start oracle instance.
But, datafiles were not removed from dba_data_files view and
extents linked with lost datafiles were not removed from dba_extents view!
Selecting query of some table containing extents linked with lost data files,
I got "ORA-00376: file xxx cannot be read at this time" message.
So, my question is that..
HOW CAN I SELECT FROM THAT TABLE WITHOUT SCANNING EXTENTS LINKED WITH LOST DATA FILES?
Thanks.

Hi,
Without being in archivelog and without backup, one can't do any sort of recovery. That's why backups and archivelog are so so important.
The offline data file command never does actually drop the datafile. It merely indicates to the control file that now the said tablespace will also be dropped. This won't update any view that the files are not supposed to be used or shown to you anymore.
This is what documentation says about the recovery of the database in the NoARch mode,
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/backup.102/b14191/osrecov.htm#i1007937
You do need a backup in order to get those tables being read. Oracle doesn't have any feature which can offline/skip the missing extents for you and let you read the data without them.

Can select from table across db link but cannot create a materialized view

dblink1 is a private db link (it could also be public)
select count(*) from t1@dblink1;
-->
COUNT(*)
5276
create materialized view v1 as
select * from t1@dblink1;
-->
select * from t1@dblink1;
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
This only applies to this particular db link. For another db link called "dblink2",
create materialized view v2 as
select * from t2@dblink2;
-->
Materialized view created.
What gives? dblink1 and dblink2 are 2 different databases on 2 different machines.

This is the simplest cause:
dblink2 points to a database that has not a t1 table (as the message says, the table does not exist)
This is the following simple cause:
dblink2 uses a remote user user2, that can not select the t1 table because it exist in another schema, and user2 has not a synonym to the table (post the result of a query over dba_db_links that shows the remote users). Database objects has name and schema. If the objects are in your own schema you dont need to write the schema name, nor if you has a synonym to the object. But if the table t1 is in another schema, and you write t1, it means user2.t1 and fail.
I hope this helps

Can I simulate SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE ROW IN (1111,2222) using SQLJ

I have a fct like
public void fct(String inStr) {
String str = "SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE ROW IN" + inStr;
// then I xecute the query using JDBC connection
But I want to do the same thisn using SQLJ like:
public void fct(String inStr) {
#sql [nctx] iter = { SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE ROW IN :inStr}
When I run the second version and give a parameter like "(1111,2222)" it gives
ORA-01722: invalid number error.
Is there a way to give parameters to in clauses of SQLJ statements.
Thanks in regard.

This is a SQLJ FAQ. You can find the FAQ at:
http://technet.oracle.com/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/faq.html
Your question is addressed in the following section:
http://technet.oracle.com/tech/java/sqlj_jdbc/htdocs/faq.html#variablesizevaluelist
Note that that section has a typo. The lines:
? // populate mynumbers
#sql { SELECT * FROM tab WHERE col in (:(a[0]),:(a[1]),?};
should read:
... // populate mynumbers
#sql { SELECT * FROM tab WHERE col in (:(a[0]),:(a[1]),...};
By the way, with the next release SQLJ will support pasting in of dynamic SQL fragments. Then you'll be able to do pretty much what you are trying to accomplish here (albeit with slightly different syntax). Until then you'd have to use the workarounds from the FAQ.

Html form for select * from table a

Hi all,
I m looking for report on header/footer part from one apex pages
which will display context from table a, like sql statement
select * from table a, written in html.
Is any examples in java script/html select from tables
(and same insert into table A (...) select * from table b)
thanks,
Gordan

Hello Gordan,
Do you want to show the whole report or just some data of it?
If it's for ex just the name and address you could create two items and have a process or computation to fill it with your select statement.
If it's the whole report, just create the report and put it in for ex. Region 1. In your page template you can specify that Region 1 needs to come into the footer.

Dimitri

What is actually throwing the NullPointerException? rs.getMetaData() or table.setModel()?

How do I do SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE KEY IN ({list})?

The title says it all really.
Is there a reasonable performant way to perform the query
SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE KEY IN ({list})where {list} is String []?
I am currently creating a PreparedStatement with a for loop like this StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer ("SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE ID IN (");
for (int ii=0;ii<keys.length;ii++) {
sb.append (keys [ii]);
if (ii != keys.length-1) sb.append (",");
sb.append (")");but this means that the prepared statement is created each time I call my method and so I'm not sure that the optimizer will find it easy to cope with. Is there a construction that I'm missing along the lines of SELECT * FROM TABLE WHERE KEY = ? where I can create the PreparedStatement once and just call setObject or something on it when the values in {list} change?

but this means that the prepared statement is created
each time I call my method and so I'm not sure that
the optimizer will find it easy to cope with.You are right, the optimizer won't find that easy to deal with (presuming that is even relevant for your driver/database.) But most optimizers won't do anything with statements that change and that is what you are doing.
You could create several prepared statements which have a common number of bind variables. For example 10 statements with from 1 to 10 bind values. This will work if most of the queries use those.

Select from table containing clob

If i try to select from table containing clob column in SQL PLus it gives error.
Tab1 contains 3 clob columns and 1 blob column
select * from tab 1;
SP2-0678: Column or attribute type can not be displayed by SQL*Plus
The same statement works in SQL Developer and I am able to see the result.
Actually i am writing the queries and they will be used by Java developers in their JSP page.
So what happens here? Can Java use these select statements or will it throw error like SQL Plus?

BLOB column content can't be displayed in SQL*Plus:
SQL> create table t_blob (b blob);
Table created.
SQL> edit
Wrote file afiedt.buf
1* insert into t_blob values('01')
SQL> /
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select * from t_blob;
SP2-0678: Column or attribute type can not be displayed by SQL*PlusBlob and clob columns content can be processed using DBMS_LOB
package procedures and functions or using client's language (like Java)
methods. See JDBC specification.

Special Grant to use "Select * from Table(cast..."??

Hi,
I've recently created the types and function to use the Table(Cast(funtion) as type)). It works fine, and gives me the correct result. I've granted execute on the types and on the function to a role that is enabled for a user, but when the user tries to use the "select * from table(cast(function) as type))", he gets a "ORA-01031: Insufficient Privileges" error message. Is there any other grant that must be given to the role, so that the user can execute the select?
Thanks in advance!
Daniel

Hi Kamal,
I'm not sure what anonymous PL/SQL block means. When I (or the user) try to run the select, I enter all the information, i.e., the owners for the type and function: "select * from table(cast(a.my_function(my_argument) as a.my_type))". I'm trying to use SQLPlus at this time, and I have Oracle 8i.
I didn't to explicitly grant execute to the user because that would go against some rules I have to follow... I'll se if I give it a try though!
Thanks!

Select * from table as of Scn fails in powercenter

Reason behind this query ,SELECT * FROM table WHERE 1 0

HEllo,
I would like to know the reason behind using this query ,
SELECT * FROM <table> WHERE 1 < 0
before executing the actual SQL query.
Is there any special reason or the JDBC receiver side is configured like that.
Is there any option to overcome this process like, can we remove this option or stop using this.
Why the JDBC adapter basically sending this query on the DB?
Thanks,
Soorya,

Hi,
if you run this query, you wont be able to see any records of the table.
SELECT * FROM <table> WHERE 1 < 0
if you run this query you will see all records
SELECT * FROM <table> WHERE 0 < 1
same with SELECT * FROM <table> WHERE 1=1
So you can check this out that whats happening in your code before executing actual query. just try to co-relate.

Select * from table where rownum 5; no rows returned? why is it so?

select from table where rownum > 5;*
no rows returned. why is it so?
can anyone explain me?

Hi,
rownum is pseudo column, and it is based on the sort order.
For ex, if you want to get the first 5 employees who get the least salary, you use,
select ename,sal from
    (select ename, sal
     from emp
     order by sal )
    where rownum<=5
ENAME      SAL
SMITH      800
ALLEN1     890
JAMES      951
TURNER     998
ADAMS      1100Suppose, if you want to use highest salary, you change the order by and not the rownum. So, it becomes,
select ename,sal from
    (select ename, sal
     from emp
     order by sal desc)
    where rownum<=5
ENAME      SAL
KING1      5000
FORD       3000
SCOTT      3000
JONES      2975
BLAKE      2850 So, its not the rownum you would want to change, but the order by.

Is select from view faster then select from table..???

Hello Gurus,
I want to query some data from two tables, both of table have many columns (attributes) and many rows...
I use several where clauses to retrieve data from those tables..
witch one is faster, I create a view or I just "select" from those tables???
Regards.

First of all, to use a view you are executing a query to get a result set, then accessing the data from that result set - a built-in extra step to perform to get data.First of all that entire explanation of how views work is not correct. The optimizer will rewrite the query to make the view go away if possible.

Second, when accessing the data from the view the result sets don't have indexes for fast lookups and efficient joins on later steps.This is also known as just making stuff up and is not how the database works. care to share any references at all for any of this?
>
Third, the systems I've seen that use views extensively - I am looking at one now - tend to perform joins on views using the same tables with the same data over and over. This is a design issue and not specifically a problem with views but they lend themselves to this misuse much too easilyCorrect as I said a view is just a query, and just like queries there are good fast views and bad slow views
>
I'll concede that the problem is not specifically with views themselves but as I just said they lend themselves to misuse. Tuning views of views and views joined to views is difficultYes, queries can be misused as can almost all SQL functions and functionality.
As I said - Views are simply queries and like queries there are fast and slow ones.
Nothing that you have posted that is accurate changes that.

Can not select from SAPTOOLS.DB6PMCF

We use third-party tool to monitor our SAP systems. We receive an error
Can not select from SAPTOOLS.DB6PMCF
when we monitor DB2 database.
Function DB6PMCF is registered in SAPSID schema. Can I register it also in SAPTOOLS schema? What is a correct procedure for this?

Hi Milan,
I think you have to issue the following command for the affected user.
db2 "grant execute on function saptools.db6pmcf to <user>"

How can I select from drop-down list and jumping to selected subform?

I using LC Designer ES2 vers 9. Developing XDP. How can I Select from a drop-down list the appropriate selected subform (jumping to the selected subform on the page)?
drop-down list...A (jump to subform1)
                         B (jump to subform2)
                         C (jump to subform3)
subform1
subform2
subform3
....end of form

Hi,
you cannot set focus on a subform but on a field, as only interactive objects can be focussed.
From a dropdowns exit event the script will look this way:
switch (this.rawValue) {
          case "A" : xfa.host.setFocus("form1.page2.field1"); break;
          case "B" : xfa.host.setFocus("form1.page2.field1"); break;

Select * from table not working with Oracle OBDC driver

Hello,
In our web development we have been using the MS ODBC for Oracle
driver to connect to our Oracle db. We decided to try the
Oracle ODBC driver because it supports the commandTimeout
property in ASP which the MS driver does not. The problem I'm
running into now is that all of our select * from table
statements appear not to be working. The Oracle ODBC driver
version we are using is ver 8.00.05.00. Is there something that
I'm not doing properly? If I take the same select * from table
statement and name the columns, I dont get any error. Otherwise
I'm getting a Subscript out of range error. It seems strange to
me that this driver would not support a select * from table
statement (which I''m told is the case by another developer
here).
Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks,
Pete

I'm positive I have a connection. Otherwise I wouldn't get a
response when I name the columns instead of using *.
There must be something else that I'm missing or doing wrong.
I've actually been looking into alternative ODBC drivers to see
if I have the same problems but none that I have found support
commandTimeout.
Any other ideas?
