Create unique index from duplicate rows

Dear
I created an index like
create index tablename_idx on tablename (FIELD1,FIELD2);
It should be
create unique index tablename_idx on tablename (FIELD1,FIELD2,filed3);
How can I delete those duplicate records and create the UNIQUE index ?
Thanks and regards
Fahmed

How to create unique index on a View

Hi All,
11.2.0.1
How do I create an index on a view or any workaround that my view wont get duplicates?
SQL> create unique index indx01 on db_backup_details_vw(id);
create unique index indx01 on db_backup_details_vw(id)
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01702: a view is not appropriate here
Thanks a lot,
Kinz

I'm thinking of using a distinct clause here.
if i get 5 duplicate rows in my selection set because of the join condition, can't i discard the remaining 4 using a distinct clause.
Observe this
SQL> select * from a;
T1 T2
1 4
2 4
3 4
SQL> select * from b;
T1 T2
1 4
2 5
in both a,b t1 is the primary key. so we'll write a join on t2 (non PK).
SQL> select b.t1,b.t2 from a,b where a.t2=b.t2;
T1 T2
1 4
1 4 -- duplicates
1 4
Now create view with distinct clause
create view ab as select distinct b.t1,b.t2 from a,b where a.t2=b.t2;
SQL> select * from ab;
T1 T2
---------- ---------- -- no duplicates
1 4

Hi Jim,
I give you a couple of examples that I use to create or delete indexes. They are "heavily parametrized", so they can be used for every table using any fields. Study your Help for further information on "Create Index", and others.
tmp_db.Execute "CREATE INDEX " & cur_veldnaam & " ON " & cur_item & "_tbl (" & cur_type & ")" & " WITH PRIMARY" tmp_db.Execute "CREATE UNIQUE INDEX " & cur_veldnaam & " ON " & cur_item & "_tbl (" & cur_velden & ")" '& " WITH PRIMARY" tmp_db.Execute "DROP INDEX " & cur_keynaam & " ON " & cur_item & "_tbl"
tmp_db stands for the BE-database; cur_item & "_tbl" represents the table name.

Create unique index on flow table

Hi
I always get this error 'Create unique index on flow table ERROR" while implementing SCD2. Please help me.I have made an Update Key which is a combination of 4 columns that want a new row to be inserted if there is a change in data.One of the above columns is the EMPLOYEE ID,
My surrogate key is the table's primary key but I have not defined it as a key in mapping and also I have turned off the Primary Key Constraint Option in Controls Panel as NO.
Where am I wrong? Also please tell me what to take care off while making Natural Key ?

There are two solutions:
1. Only use uppercase in the table name
2. go in Topology>Physical Architecture and edit the technology, then click on
the "Language" tab and set "Object Delimiter" to empty.
Thanks,

Erik,
Thank you for giving me the points. Generally you wait to award points until your problem is solved. It is totally your at your descretion.
OK.
This is still not clear. To post a screenshot get the "stuff" you want to show in view on your screen, then type the key combination <Command>+<Shift>+3. The cursor will change to a crosshair. Click and hold on the top-left corner, then drag to enclose what you want to show (to the bottom-right corner), then release. The screenshot will appear on your desktop and will be named something like "".
Now click the camera icon in the tool bar for this forum:
, click the text box to allow you to navigate to, and select your screenshot.
Here is what you sent me:
The graph does not seem to be associated with the table of data you are showing. Generally when you highlight a graph the corresponding table will highlight and show the source of each of the series in the graph (dark and light blue).
This is what I would expect to see when highlighting a graph:
Right now I think there is ANOTHER table arround that is the source for the graph and the table you show is "just another table". You can move your data into the table the graph refers to by copy and paste, or simply typing the values. You can change how many series there are by grabbing the little circle at the bottom right of the highlighted cells (when you have the graph highlighted) and dragging as shown:

Create Unique Index On Flow does not work for table names 23 characters

I have a "create unique index on flow table" step that is dynamically generated by the IKM.
The index name that is generated by the IKM is based on the table name except that the created index name is prefixed with "I$_" and ends with "_idx". Obviously, since Oracle table names can not exceed 30 characters in length, the index creation step will fail if the base table name exceeds 23 characters.
I have tried to substring the index name generation step in the IKM so that it only uses the first 23 characters of the table name, but have not had any luck with using the "substring" command together with snpRef.getTable call.
This is the section of the IKM that I desire to change:
- <Field name="Txt" type="java.lang.String">
- <![CDATA[
create unique index      <%=snpRef.getTable("L","INT_NAME","W")%>_idx
on          <%=snpRef.getTable("L","INT_NAME","W")%> (<%=snpRef.getColList("", "[COL_NAME]", ", ", "", "UK")%>)
<%=snpRef.getUserExit("FLOW_TABLE_OPTIONS")%>
]]>
</Field>
I would like to change the above to something similar to the following (note the only change is the addition of substring(1,23))
- <Field name="Txt" type="java.lang.String">
- <![CDATA[
create unique index <%=snpRef.getTable("L","INT_NAME","W")*.substring(1,23)*%_idx
on          <%=snpRef.getTable("L","INT_NAME","W")%> (<%=snpRef.getColList("", "[COL_NAME]", ", ", "", "UK")%>)
<%=snpRef.getUserExit("FLOW_TABLE_OPTIONS")%>
]]>
</Field>
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks.

As the index is temporary, just like the I$ talbel, the easiest way is to replace the table name with some unique identifier like the session is:
bq. I$_<%=odiRef.getSession("SESS_NO")%>_idx
If for some reason that is not unique enough, add the NNO:
bq. I$_<%=odiRef.getSession("SESS_NO")%><%=odiRef.getSession("NNO")%> \\ _idx

How it is possible?
Is it an Oracle soft Bug??

Cannot CREATE UNIQUE INDEX; duplicate keys found

I have 10g when I did an expdp from prod (an AIX 5.3 ) and impdp to a test (a RHEL3 ) with TABLE_EXISTS_ACTION=TRUNCATE, there are some index errors ORA-01452 for some of the tables but not all. As I compared the difference between , The only difference I noticed was that the one with error is the table has data, those tables without error have no data. So how which parameter I can use in impdp to avoid ? read the utility doc, have not found clear picture.

Creating stacked graph from multiple rows

Hi!
I am trying to create a stacked bar graph from multiple rows. My data looks like this:
Date_Time Error_Code Count
16-01-2011 12:00 100 10
16-01-2011 12:00 200 15
16-01-2011 12:10 100 5
16-01-2011 12:10 200 7
16-01-2011 12:20 300 20
16-01-2011 12:20 400 6
I want to stack the count of each error_code on top of each other for every time group.
Is this possible?

Hi,
can you try
- select the graph in the Structure Window or the visual editor
- open Property Inspector
- Press Pencil Icon
- Click "Swap Bars with x-Axis"

How to create an index from more than one pages document?

I have 10 different pages documents. Each document is a book chapter. Now I would like to create one index for all of these chapters in a new pages-file without copying all files into one single file. How does this work?

Thanks for your answer. Than this is a real deficit of pages. Have you got any ideas for an alternative solution, that doesn´t force me to work with Microsoft? I have a document of 300 pages, having this in one document is neither practical nor stable. Thank for supporting!

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

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!

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

Creating an unique index instaed of using primary key index

Hi ,
I heard in a debate sometimes it's better to create a unique index on a column and using it instaed of using primary key index in oracle.I couldn't understand what the reason propely.
Can anyone please help me in thsi topic if it is a valid one .
Thanks in advance

Hi,
They are exactly NOT identical.
1. Unique key can have NULL values where primary keys can't.
2. Primary key is fundamentally those keys which do not change. I mean updating a primary key is not a good idea.
SQL> drop table test;
Table dropped.
SQL> create table test ( a number(2));
Table created.
SQL> ed

Unique Index Error while running the ETL process

Hi,
I have Installed Oracle BI Applications 7.9.4 and Informatica PowerCenter 7.1.4. I have done all the configuration steps as specified in the Oracle BI Applications Installation and Configuration Guide. While running the ETL process from DAC for Execution Plan 'Human Resources Oracle 11.5.10' some tasks going to status Failed.
When I checked the log files for these tasks, I found the following error
ANOMALY INFO::: Error while executing : CREATE INDEX:W_PAYROLL_F_ASSG_TMP:W_PRL_F_ASG_TMP_U1
MESSAGE:::java.lang.Exception: Error while execution : CREATE UNIQUE INDEX
W_PRL_F_ASG_TMP_U1
ON
W_PAYROLL_F_ASSG_TMP
INTEGRATION_ID ASC
,DATASOURCE_NUM_ID ASC
,EFFECTIVE_FROM_DT ASC
NOLOGGING PARALLEL
with error java.sql.SQLException: ORA-12801: error signaled in parallel query server P000
ORA-01452: cannot CREATE UNIQUE INDEX; duplicate keys found
EXCEPTION CLASS::: java.lang.Exception
I found some duplicate rows in the table W_PAYROLL_F_ASSG_TMP with the combination of the columns on which it is trying to create INDEX. Can anyone give me information for the following.
1. Why it is trying to create the unique index on the combination of columns which may not be unique.
2. Is it a problem with the data in the source database (means becoz of duplicate rows in the source system).
How we need to fix this error. Do we need to delete the duplicate rows from the table in the data warehouse manually and re-run the ETL process or is there any other way to fix the problem.

This query will identify the duplicate in the Warehouse table preventing the Index from being built:
select count(*), integration_id, src_eff_from_dt from w_employee_ds group by integration_id, src_eff_from_dt having count(*)>1;
To get the ETL to finish issue this delete to the W_EMPLOYEE_DS table:
delete from w_employee_ds where integration_id = '2' and src_eff_from_dt ='04-JAN-91';
To fix it so this does not happen again on another load you need to find the record in the Vision DB, it is in the PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F table. I have a Vision source and this worked:
select rowid, person_id , LAST_NAME FROM PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F
where EFFECTIVE_START_DATE = '04-JAN-91';
ROWID PERSON_ID
LAST_NAME
AAAWXJAAMAAAwl/AAL 6272
Kang
AAAWXJAAMAAAwmAAAI 6272
Kang
AAAWXJAAMAAAwmAAA4 6307
Lee
delete from PER_ALL_PEOPLE_F
where ROWID = 'AAAWXJAAMAAAwl/AAL';
