Create table statement fail

Hello experts
Oracle 10g on RHEL 4
when I fire the statement as sys user "create table tab2 as select * from dba_objects tablespace users" it gives the error "ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended"
But when I fire "create table tab2(id number) tablespace users" it successed WHY?

Justin has already answered.
rearrange query
and tablespace clause
SQL> create table tab2 as select * from dba_objects tablespace users;
create table tab2 as select * from dba_objects tablespace users
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
SQL> create table tab2 tablespace users as select * from dba_objects;

I need to figure out, what it is that I am missing here. partinv_flag is supposed to be calculated based on partinv_instock and partinv_reorder.

You need to name columns:

Create Create table statement dynamicallly

I am trying to create a SP that return a “Create table “statement dynamically using a table called “Employee” in database. How can I create a dynamic Create Table
statement using sys.table? The create table statement should contains all the columns from Employee table.. i am using SQL server 2008 R2

Hi SSAS_5000,
If you don't care about the constraints,dependency on the Table Employee and what you'd like is the table structure, you may use the below statement where the create statement generated from the SP is executed.
SELECT TOP 1 * INTO desiredTable FROM Eemploy;
TRUNCATE TABLE desiredTable
If you have question, feel free to let me know.

Create table statement from DatabaseMetaData

Hi Experts,
Do you know if it's possible to retrieve a create table statement based on a DatabaseMetaData ? (without looping through columnName / Type)
The idea is to get the DatabaseMetaData from one db server, and execute the Create Table statements on a different db server.
One obvious solution would be to loop through each table's column name/type and construct the create table statement manually, but I'd like to know whether this can be automated.
Thanks in advnace,
Sid

Bigger databases provide a way to access most schema information from the database itself. That doesn't mean that the jdbc meta information is sufficient nor the best way to do that.
There are existing tools that allow for migrations as well. Especially if the migration is a one to one mapping.

CREATE TABLE statement

i am accessing the local database through JDBC for an application. but i've been getting "not allowed" errors while trying to execute a CREATE TABLE statement in my servlet. It allows all other statements like insert, delete, select etc. i've been using a default table because of the same reason.
so if someone could please throw some light into it.

Hi,
Statements like Create which is a Data definition one
will not be entertained by the program while executing.
The reason being the DB cannot allocate the required buffer for crating a table at the time of execution.
So the alterantive is create your DB table manually in ur Db and try other DML statements.
Hope it helps.

Guru

SQL Developer Create Table Statement to ERD Visio Diagram

I have the following Create table statement from SQL Developer and I am trying to generate an ERD Diagram using 2003 Visio. I was wondering what I need to do to convert the Create Table to an ERD Diagram Using Visio. Thanks
CREATE TABLE “TT_TEAM”.”HR_REVOKED_SECURITY_ORGS”
“ID” NUMBER NOT NULL ENABLE,
“ACAT_CODE” VARCHAR2(6 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
“APPR_SEQ_NO” NUMBER(3,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
“USER_ID” VARCHAR2(30 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
“ACTION_IND” VARCHAR2(1 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
“ACTIVITY_DATE” DATE NOT NULL ENABLE,
“COAS_CODE” VARCHAR2(1 BYTE),
“ORGN_CODE” VARCHAR2(6 BYTE),
“POSN” VARCHAR2(6 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE,
“MANDATORY_APPR_IND” VARCHAR2(1 BYTE),
“APPR_POSN” VARCHAR2(6 BYTE),
“ORGN_MANAGER” VARCHAR2(6 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE;

I'm pretty Visio is a non-Oracle product.
In the mean-time, you can easily import a DDL script file and create a relational model/diagram using SQL Developer. Use the Import feature and point to your CREATE TABLE script(s)

SQLPLUS - Create Table statement

Hello gents/ladies.
I have a few tables that I want to import from a DUMP file I have from MySQL. My quickie question : I've removed all the MySQL specific formatting ( I thought ) like Type=MYISAM and similar, and ended up with a CREATE TABLE statement that looks like this:
CREATE TABLE customerdetails (
custid NUMBER(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
uid_system varchar2(20) NOT NULL default '',
pwd_system varchar2(20) NOT NULL default '',
lastname varchar2(30) NOT NULL default '',
firstname varchar2(30) NOT NULL default '',
middleinitial char(1) default NULL,
day_phone_countrycode char(3) default NULL,
day_phone_main varchar2(16) default NULL,
evening_phone_countrycode char(3) default NULL,
evening_phone_main varchar2(16) default NULL,
email_primary varchar2(80) NOT NULL default '',
email_secondary varchar2(80) default NULL,
street_adress varchar2(80) NOT NULL default '',
state_prov char(3) NOT NULL default '',
zipcode varchar2(11) NOT NULL default '',
countrycode char(3) NOT NULL default '',
PRIMARY KEY (custid),
UNIQUE KEY UC_custid(custid),
UNIQUE KEY IDX_system_uid(uid_system),
KEY idx_lname_fname_mi(lastname,firstname,middleinitial),
KEY IDX_day_phone(day_phone_countrycode,day_phone_main)
I get this error back from SQLPLUS:
CREATE TABLE CUSTOMERDETAILS (
ERROR in line 1:
ORA-00922: missing or invalid option
I've read through the documentation, and can't see what I'm missing here. Could somebody PLEASE point out the obviously screaming error in this statement?
Thanks!
Kind regards,

Hi Henning Pedersen,
First of all the your query syntax is wrong.
1. the keyword you used "auto_increment" is not in oracle. you need to take it out from query.
2. you are saying some columns are not null but giving default value as '' (two quotes without any space), this is contradiction, since '' is null, this gives you an error.
Need to take it out.
3. the keyword UNIQUE KEY is wrong you need to use only UNIQUE.
4. Another option is not correct it UNIQUE KEY IDX_system_uid(uid_system),
it must be UNIQUE (uid_system)
5. There is not any keyword as a KEY in oracle. you need to take it out from the query too.
The final query will be like :
CREATE TABLE customerdetails (
custid NUMBER(11) NOT NULL ,
uid_system varchar2(20) NOT NULL ,
pwd_system varchar2(20) NOT NULL ,
lastname varchar2(30) NOT NULL ,
firstname varchar2(30) NOT NULL ,
middleinitial char(1) default NULL,
day_phone_countrycode char(3) default NULL,
day_phone_main varchar2(16) default NULL,
evening_phone_countrycode char(3) default NULL,
evening_phone_main varchar2(16) default NULL,
email_primary varchar2(80) NOT NULL ,
email_secondary varchar2(80) default NULL,
street_adress varchar2(80) NOT NULL ,
state_prov char(3) NOT NULL ,
zipcode varchar2(11) NOT NULL ,
countrycode char(3) NOT NULL ,
PRIMARY KEY (custid),
UNIQUE (custid),
UNIQUE (uid_system)---,
---KEY idx_lname_fname_mi(lastname,firstname,middleinitial),
---KEY IDX_day_phone(day_phone_countrycode,day_phone_main)
This would work fine.
Thanx
Arvind.

Mass create table statement

Hi,
I am facing the following problem:
Database A is running with a great number of tables.
Database B should contain the same tables as A with different data (DB B is empty at the moment).
Therefore I've collected all the 'create table'-statements and packed them into a script.
Because there are several foreign key constraints in DB A (not all deferrable) it seems to be a problem to execute the script.
I have searched the internet how to disable constraints before executing the statements, but I' ve only found solutions for disabling constraints for allready existing tables - not disabling constraint checks will creating.
So, could you please give me a hint what keywords I should use for my further search?
Thanks in advance.

Is there any way to get that?

You can use DBMS_METADATA package:

Generate Create Table Statements

Hi, the problem is:
My company want to migrate our SQL Server DB to Winwows Azure Server (currently we have our own domain and server), but Azure doesn't support the sentence 'Into' to create temporary tables, so we should replace all 'Into' sentences to corresponding 'Create
Table' statements. Our system have up 1000 SP's with 'Into' sentences and many SP's have a lot of them.
My question: is possible generate a 'Create Table' statement automatically, from a 'select into' sentence? i want to know if Management Studio or external tool have this feature o something similar.
Sorry for my poor english but this is not my native language.
Thanks!

Create table statement in Dynamic SQL

Hello,
I am trying to create a table as a select query through a PL/SQL block using dynamic SQL. Following is the query,
declare
stmt varchar2(2000);
begin
stmt := '''CREATE TABLE output AS SELECT PATIENT_ID, FIRST_NAME FROM employee''';
execute immediate stmt;
end;
it throws the following error.
declare
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00900: invalid SQL statement
ORA-06512: at line 5
I have tried to execute the statement without the variable and it executes fine. I mean,
begin
execute immediate ' CREATE TABLE output AS SELECT PATIENT_ID, FIRST_NAME FROM employee ';
end;
works flawlessly. Can you please help me with this.
Thanks

Hi,
declare
stmt varchar2(2000);
begin
stmt := 'CREATE TABLE output AS SELECT PATIENT_ID, FIRST_NAME FROM employee';
execute immediate stmt;
end;Nothing different from what Anurag has shown above.
But you will have to consider a few things.
1) Since it is possible it is not a must to use it
2) It is considered a bad design where in you have to create tables on the fly.
3) Consider if it is absolutely required.If u can give us an idea of your requirement.I am sure the Gurus here can give you suggestions
4) this kind of design will lead you into trouble sooner or later for sure

Jimmy - You might want to buy the Following book from Oreilley Press Oracle Built in Pacakages it's very very good and came in handy when I has to write dynamic SQL (DBMS_SQL package).
You might want to try www.bookpool.com which has technical books cheaper than amazon.

Welcome to the forum!
So why did you use your second post to the forum to resurrect a thread that is over a year old?
Hemant already provided the correct answer to the question and your reply to him that 'This contradicts the constraint documentation' doesn't specify what you mean by "this" but is wrong on any account.
You certainly can't be referring to Hemant's statement
>
The syntax "constraint cfcs_tfcs_fk foreign key ...", using the key words "foreign key" is for an out-of-line constraint definition.
>
Since the diagram clearly shows his statement is correct.
And you can't be referring to his statement
>
Furthermore, the "using index" clause is for Primary Key constraint , not for a Foreign Key. You should manually create the index separately.
>
Since the documentation states exactly what Hemant said.
See 'Using Indexes to Enforce Constraints' in the SQL Language doc
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/clauses002.htm
>
Restrictions on the using_index_clause The following restrictions apply to the using_index_clause:
You cannot specify this clause for a view constraint.
You cannot specify this clause for a NOT NULL, foreign key, or check constraint.

Best way to give tablename in create table statement

hi all,
what's the best way to give table name while "create statement" in case of performance..
for eg:
create table tablename(id int,name varchar(20))
a.) tablename
b.) [tablename]
c.) (tablename)
d.) "tablename"
pls its urgent..
thanks in advance..
lucky

>b.) [tablename]
As Naomi pointed it out, the above is dangerous because unintentionally special characters or space can be included and accepted by SQL Server.
Once you introduce special characters in the table name, you have to use [....] forever.
