Changing primary key(s)

Is it possible to change the primary key of existing persistent objects at
runtime? (If yes, are references from other tables updated automatically?)
Regards
Achim

Hi,
AFAIK, Kodo JDO 3.0.1 doesn't support the JDO optional feature:
javax.jdo.option.ChangeApplicationIdentity
So assuming you are using Application Identity for your class then you won't
be able to change the fields that are part of the primary key.
Not sure if that's what you meant?
Cheers

  • Change primary key in ztable

    Hello everyone
    I need some advice.
    I have transp. table ZINVOICE which have data in production system.
    field  of table are
    VBELN  Primary key
    KUNNR
    NAME
    FKART
    FKDAT
    NETWR
    STAT
    TAXINVNUM

    now i want table ZINVOICE have 2 primary (VBELN + TAXINVNUM)
    when i activate system show
    Key is already defined; field TAXINVNUM cannot be in the key
    Message no. AD434
    Diagnosis
    When defining table fields, you added further key fields at the end after entering a block of key fields followed by a block of non-key fields.
    All the key fields of a table must be in a block at the beginning of the table.
    Procedure
    All key fields in a table should be entered in a single block.
    is it mean that primay key must be in beginning of the table ?
    can i delete field in table ZINVOICE and insert field and change position of fields to
    VBELN  Primary key
    TAXINVNUM Primary key
    KUNNR
    NAME
    FKART
    FKDAT
    NETWR
    STAT
    ZFKDAT
    ZNETWR
    can i do like this ?
    is it impact my existing data in SAP ?
    please advice.

    As you are adding a new key, you should not get problem with duplicate records.
    You should create two transport requests and activate/transport the table twice.
    - In the first request, change the order of fields in the database table, don't add primary key now, activate , if required adjust database table (should not be required), transport database table in target system.
    - In the second request, declare the second field as a primary key, proceed same way.
    DON'T TRANSPORT BOTH REQUESTS TOGETHER
    First step
    VBELN K
    TAXINVNUM
    KUNNR
    NAME
    Second step
    VBELN K
    TAXINVNUM K
    KUNNR
    NAME
    Question: Did you forget to add the client field, if yes you will have to adjust the table and the records will be copied in every client, you will have to create and execute a small cleanup program
    Third step
    MANDT K
    VBELN K
    TAXINVNUM K
    KUNNR
    NAME

  • APEX 4.0 -Show and able to change Primary key values for Detail

    In a Master-Detail form, is there anyway I can show and able to change/select my primary keys from a select list field? One of my primary keys on the Detail is also primary key from another table which restricts my values for this field. I was able to show the fields but I can not make changes to this field and save the changes. Is there anyway I can have both show the field and able to change field's value and save it? Please advice. Thank you very much for your help in advance.
    -Grace

    Yes AFAIK Apex (for better or worse) was designed such that the PKs are generated automatically with PL/SQL, by a trigger, or whatever other algorithm that isn't in the control of the end user. It also only seems to allow a composite PK of no more than two columns.
    My usual strategy is to:
    1. Define the PK as a number (some sort of RECORD_ID, RECORD_SEQ, whatever) and populate it via a trigger on-insert.
    2. Define the "business" PK as a separate unique index. This way the user can set and modify it to their heart's content and it also isn't limited to just two columns (if the composite key's business requirement is such that more than two columns are needed).

  • JCA DB Adapter - merge - changing Primary Key

    Hello,
    I have an OSB business service that does a merge operation using a JCA DB Adapter. I recently changed the primary key of the table it's merging into, so also changed the toplink file of the business service (manually via sbconsole).
    However, in certain conditions, I'm getting an ORA-00001 error (JCA-11616). i.e. the merge is trying to do an insert that the violates primary key of the table.
    Should I have also made a change to something other than the business service? The table WSDL and XML don't mention the primary key as far as I can tell...
    Any ideas?
    Cheers

    That is probably a database error. If you changed the primary key of the toplink file to be less restrictive than the compound key in the database, you could potentially get this error. You need to make sure you have the primary keys or unique constraint columns from the database in the toplink file. You can then add additional columns to the toplink file based on your business logic, but never remove a database primary key from the file because the service could try a invalid insert.

  • Change primary key field in Master-Detail Form (Urgent)

    Hi,
    Can some experts share your valuable experience on the problem below?
    We have created a form Master-Detail relation. For some reasons, we have to allow the primary key field to be editable. But we couln't achieve it in Form 6i. It gives update error during commit.
    Your kind help will be highly appreciated.
    Regards,

    Hi there,
    I think the problem is because u are updating the primary key in the master block but since it is a master detail block u need to update it in the detail block as well.so what i suggest u to do is in the pre-insert trigger assign the value of master primarykey to the detail primary key....
    just check this out hopefully this shud help u.

  • Error while creating the Unique Index of the Primary Key of an Item

    Hi all,
    I have deployed a new item (CO_CONTRACTUNIT_PRODUCT) in my publication. The deploy appears to be successfull as the item can be seen in the repository through the Mobile Manager.
    The problem occurs when i sync my local DB to get the item offline. While synchronizing, the following error appears, both in the sync window and the log file ol_sync.log.
    "ERROR",POL-5130,"11/09/2010 11:43:52","table or view %s.%s not found:CO_CONTRACTUNIT_PRODUCT,CO_CONTRACTID,OD_PRODUCTID,CO_CONTRACTUNITID","DB_ROSHNI"
    However, the debug file gives this other error regarding this table.
    ALL_INDEX:CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "TPCO_CONTRACTUNIT_PRODUCT_PK" ON CO_CONTRACTUNIT_PRODUCT (CO_CONTRACTID,OD_PRODUCTID,CO_CONTRACTUNITID) -5130Error at C:\ADE\omeprod_ol103021\olite\db\build\win\ocapi\..\..\..\src\ocapi\allindexes.cpp line:329 rc:-5130
    Build date Mar 29 2010
    okErr=(table or view %s.%s not found)
    mess=(CO_CONTRACTUNIT_PRODUCT,CO_CONTRACTID,OD_PRODUCTID,CO_CONTRACTUNITID)
    AddLog(-5130 "ERROR",POL-5130,"11/09/2010 11:43:52","table or view %s.%s not found:CO_CONTRACTUNIT_PRODUCT,CO_CONTRACTID,OD_PRODUCTID,CO_CONTRACTUNITID","DB_ROSHNI")
    But the index that is being created and is giving the error is the index created automatically with the Primary Key of the table, and so nothing has been modified in that.
    The primary key of the table is created with the three columns that are part of the index that is returning the error.
    As I could not solve the error, I tried to drop and re-create the item in the repository, but no luck. As a last option, i tried to remove the item from the repository to be able to sync properly again (just like before creating the item), but the error still happens.
    Another weird point is that i have tried creating the item in another publication of another database (but with almost equal items), and the item could was downloaded to my local DB without any problem, which makes this problem still more bizarre.
    What can it be?
    Any help would be great!

    have you tried unistalling the client and reinstalling it?
    schema evolution changes are not always handled correctly please check thread:
    Modification of publication item into Mobile Server
    i quote from rekounas instructions:
    If you are just adding a field, you should only have to run the alter publication item API call.
    Here is an old note on schema evolution on different scenarios. The names for the APIs that they use are now deprecated. Use the ConsolidatorManager class and call the method alterPublicationItem("PUBLICATION_ITEM_NAME", "SELECT STMT") :
    A) Add column
    1. Upload all client data. Clients should not add new data until they are told by the administrator to sync again!!
    2. Stop Mobile Server listener
    3. Change the Oracle8i/9i database schema (add column)
    4. Create a Java program to call the Consolidator Admin API AlterPublicationItem()
    5. Start Mobile Server
    6. Execute a sync from the client
    7. The new column should be seen on the client. Use MSQL to check snapshot definitions.
    B) Drop column
    1. Upload all client data. Clients should not add new data until they are told by the administrator to sync again!!
    2. Stop Mobile Server listener
    3. Delete column of the base table in the Oracle database schema
    4. Create a Java program to call the Consolidator Admin API DropPublicationItem()
    5. Create a Java program to call the Consolidator Admin API CreatePublicationItem() and AddPublicationItem().
    6. Start Mobile Server
    7. Execute a sync from the client
    8. The new column should be seen on the cliet. Use MSQL to check snapshot definitions.
    C) Change column datatype
    Changing datatypes in a repliatated system is not an easy task. You have to follow certain procedures in order to make it to work. Use DropPublicationItem, CreatePublicationItem and AddPublicationItem methods from the Consolidator Admin API. You must stop/start Mobile Server listener to refresh the cache.
    1. Client syncs. Clients should not add new data until they are told by the administrator to sync again!!
    2. Stop Mobile Server listener
    3. Drop/create column (do not use conversion procudures) at the base table
    4. Call DropPublicationItem(). Check if the ErrorQueue and InQueue no longer exist.
    5. Call CreatePublicationItem() and AddPublicationItem(). Check if the ErrorQueue and InQueue reflect the new column datatype
    6. Start Mobile Server. This automatically resumes application
    7. Client executes sync. This should drop the old snapshot and recreate the new snapshot. Use MSQL to check
    snapshot definitions.
    D) Drop table
    1. Client syncs. Clients should not add new data until they are told by the administrator to sync again!!
    2. Stop Mobile Server listener
    3. Drop base table
    4. Call DropPublicationItem(). Check if the ErrorQueue and InQueue no longer exist.
    5. Start Mobile Server. This automatically resumes application
    6. Client executes sync. This should drop the old snapshot. Use MSQL to check snapshot definitions.
    E) Add table
    1. Client syncs. Clients should not add new data until they are told by the administrator to sync again!!
    2. Stop Mobile Server listener
    3. Add new base table
    4. Call CreatePublicationItem() and AddPublicationItem() method
    5. Start Mobile Server. This automatically resumes application
    6. Client executes sync. This should add the new snapshot. Use MSQL to check snapshot definitions.
    F) Changing Primary Keys
    Chaning PK is a severe operation which must be executed manually. A snapshot must be deleted and recreated to propagate the changes to the clients. This causes a full refresh on this snapshot.
    1. Client syncs. Clients should not add new data until they are told by the administrator to sync again!!
    2. Stop Mobile Server listener
    3. Drop the snapshot using DropPublicationItem() method o
    4. Alter the base table
    5. Call CreatePublicationItem()and AddPublicationItem() methods for the altered table
    6. Start Mobile Server. This automatically resumes application
    7. Client executes sync. The old snapshot will be replaced by the new snapstot using a full refresh. Use MSQL to check snapshot definitions.
    G) To Change a Table Weight =>
    Follow the procedure below to change the Table Weight parameter. The table weight is used by the Mobile Server/Synchronization to determin the sequence in which client records are applied to the Oracle database.
    1. Run MGP to apply any changes in the InQueue to the Oracle databse
    2. Change table weight using SetTemplateItemMetadata() method
    3. Add/change constraint on the the base table which reflects the change in table weight
    4. Synchronize

  • Switch the sequence of Primary Key Columns

    Hi MaxDB experts,
    As part of our product upgrade we've made a schema change to 10 of our database tables. Typically these tables contain about 5 million rows in them. The change involves switching the order of columns in the primary key (original order SampleTime, Id; new order would be Id, SampleTime). What's the quickest way to achieve this?
    So far I've tried the following approaches without much luck:
    1. Use the "alter table alter primary key (new seuqence of columns)". Takes an average of 1 hour per table.
    2. Copy original table content into another table with "insert into newTable (select * from existingTable)" command. Takes the same amount of time as #1
    3. Tried using "Export Table" option presented by the "loadercli". Unfortunately, exported data can not be imported to a table with a different schema (in our case changed primary key column sequence).
    What else can we try? Any advise / direction would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
    Sincerely,
    Sameer Apte

    Hi there,
    ok, I assume that you figured out that you like to have data entries belonging to a specific ID stored rather nearby than scattered around in the table by TIMESTAMP or that you have more queries that specify the ID but not the TIMESTAMP.
    Both would be good reasons to perform such a change.
    Concerning the speed: basically things won't get any faster than ALTER TABLE or INSERT (SELECT * FROM)...
    The ALTER TABLE approach would have the advantage to be transactional atomic and simple to use.
    The INSERT approach would enable the use of the PREFETCHING feature for the read-I/O on the source table.
    So if you're just focussing on speed, then I'd recommend to:
    setup a data cache that can hold both source and target tables im memory
    enable prefetching by setting the parameter READAHEAD_TABLE_THRESHOLD to say 128 (be aware that you've to use MaxDB 7.6.05 or higher, but not 7.7.x  for that!)
    After you've copied each table, make sure to create the secondary indexes one by one since otherwise the internal parallelism won't be used.
    regards,
    Lars
    p.s.
    it is possible to export/import into different schemas - it's even supported via DB Studio.
    Anyhow, it wouldn't make anything quicker for this case.

    Hi,
    Your temperary table has no primary key. Mention primary key field, when creating temperary table. See below statement change primary key field according to you.
    int rows1 = stmt5.executeUpdate("CREATE TABLE tempAnimals (primary key(animalid)) SELECT * FROM animals");
    int rows2 = stmt6.executeUpdate("CREATE TABLE tempAnimalsQuestions (primary key(questionid)) SELECT * FROM animalsquestions");Regards,

  • IR - if count (primary key) cannot change to count different column

    Apex 4.1.1.00.23 Windows 7 IE8 / Firefox 16
    If I add a Group By and Count to an Interactive report and choose the primary key column as the one to Count, run the report and then edit the Group By to count a different column, the result set does not change, and if I edit the Group By again it shows that the Counted column has reverted back to the primary key column.
    If I initially choose a different column I can change it and rerun the report successfully, but once I choose the primary key column it cannot be changed. This seems to happen on all applications and all browsers. Is it a bug in Apex?
    Thanks,
    Nick.

    I've tried this in 4.1.0.00.32: works normally. In 4.1.1.00.23 however i'm getting the weird behaviour: you can count on any column, but the moment you count the same column as the one grouped on you can not change the column back to another one anymore. Something which works fine in 4.1.0.00.32.

  • JBO-25014: Another user has changed the row with primary key oracle.jbo.Key

    Hi,
    I am developing a Fusion Web Application using Jdeveloper 11.1.2.1.0. I have a home.jspx page that has a ADF table built on efttBilling View Object. . When you click on one of the rows in the table, it will take you to detail.jspx where you can edit the row and save. When 'save' is clicked, stored procedures are executed to update/insert rows into few tables , and then go back to home.jspx where you need to see updated content for that row.
    To get down to the exact issue, updates are made to the tables on which the efttBilling View Object is built using a stored procedure. Once this is done, I am trying to requery view object to see new content. But I keep getting JBO-25014: Another user has changed the row with primary key oracle.jbo.Key error. Following are the approaches I followed to query new results:
    a. Executed Application Modules Commit Method. Created 'Commit' Action binding and tied it to homePageDef.xml. Called this binding from a view scope bean.
        BindingContainer bindings = BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
         OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("Commit");
        Object result = operationBinding.execute();
       if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty())
        return null;
    b. Marked 'Refresh on Insert' , 'Refresh on Update', 'Change Indicator' checkboxes for all the attributes in the entities associated with efttBilling View Object.
    c. Tried to Requery View Object. Created a refreshViewObject method in Application Module Impl.java file, exposed this method to the client interface and created a invokeMethod Action binding in home.jspx
    Code in Application Module:
      public void refresheftTransactionsforBillingAccountViewObj1View()
        System.out.println("In eftTransactionsforBillingAccountViewObj1");
      findViewObject("eftTransactionsforBillingAccountViewObj1").executeQuery();
    Code in view scope bean
            DCBindingContainer bindings =
           (DCBindingContainer)BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
            OperationBinding operation =
            bindings.getOperationBinding("refresheftTransactionsforBillingAccountViewObj1View");
            operation.execute();
    I have searched web, ADF forums and tried methods suggested in there but no sucess.
    Could anyone please provide some insight in this issue. I have been battling with this since quite some time. I can provide you with the log file too.
    Thanks!
    Shai.

    What code does your Commit method have .. can you try using the Commit executable from the AM itself instead ?

  • DBMS_CDC find only the columns that are changed along with the primary key in the table

    Hello,
    We are having a requirement to find the change data in the production environment.
    We are planning to use the DBMS_CDC utility.
    But for  example in the create change table 1 picked emp_id,ename, address, salary,dob.
    I have a sample data of
    empid
    ename
    address
    salary
    DOB
    1
    test1

    2
    test2
    25 test street
    2500
    15-Aug-97
    if ename for empid 1 is changed to test1_test3 from test1.
    My CDC is capturing  the values in the old and new values in the 5 columns.
    But i need to get only the empid (primary key of the source table) and the ename column as only that's been updated not the rest of the 3 columns.
    Can i accomplish this.
    Please advice.

    Hello,
    Thanks for the information.
    but if i change the change table  then i will miss the other columns right?
    I want to get the columns( empid and ename) only if ename is changed. i.e when ever any column in emp table changes i need to get all the columns where the data is changed along with the primary key columns empid.
    Is there any way i can tweak the parameters so that i can achieve this or is there any other way using the cdc i can get this data.
    Thanks

  • Another user has changed the row with primary key -Table changed externally

    Hello,
    I am facing the error: "Another user has changed the row with primary key oracle.jbo.Key[94 ]." during the delete operation.
    User case scenario:
    1. Added new row in the table.
    2. Once new row is added to the the table, another application will update few columns in the newly added row based on some logic.
    3. On the same session I am trying to delete the newly added row and getting above mentioned error.
    I have added a "Button" in the table to partialRefresh the table to check the new values of the changed columns.
    I have checked the forum and found many similar errors and tried the following but nothing helped.
    1. By setting "Auto Refresh = True" for the view object.
    Issue faced-> It worked fine but after few add and remove my db is getting to inconsistent state after which, I am not able to do any add/delete from my page.
    Error: "Too many objects match the primary key oracle.jbo.Key". I have checked this and I am not getting this error when "Auto Refresh = False" even after multiple add and remove actions.
    2. By Setting "Auto Refresh" the iterator associated with the page.
    Issue -> Did not work at all.
    Looking forward inputs from gurus.
    Thanks

    Finally I found one solution to this problem at: [ http://www.avromroyfaderman.com/2008/05/bring-back-the-hobgoblin-dealing-with-rowinconsistentexception/|http://www.avromroyfaderman.com/2008/05/bring-back-the-hobgoblin-dealing-with-rowinconsistentexception/]
    Simply overriding the lock() method in the entity object resolved issue. Kudos to the author.
    Code:
    public void lock() {
    try {
    super.lock();
    } catch (RowInconsistentException e) {
    refresh(REFRESH_WITH_DB_ONLY_IF_UNCHANGED | REFRESH_CONTAINEES);
    super.lock();
    But, Now my refresh button is not working as depend on the "Auto Refresh = True" to update the table.
    Can anyone tell me how can I refresh the VO of my table from the button.
    Thanks
    Abhijeet.
    P.S: I have already added the partial trigger but it is work not working as the data is cached in the VO. Removing the Cached property for the VO is creating other problems.
