Ctxsys.context index on registered schema xmltype column

9iR2
Is it possible to create a text index (indextype is ctxsys.context) on a schema registered xmltype column?
I tried it, the index creation works fine.
After the first insert statement the Oracle process seems to hang. (CPU 100%, increasing memory consumption)

Yes, I previously entered some data.
Test case:
1. register schema
begin
DBMS_XMLSCHEMA.REGISTERSCHEMA('http://localhost/JobPositionSeeker-1_1.xsd',
getDocument('JobPositionSeeker-1_1.xsd'), TRUE, TRUE, FALSE, FALSE
end;
2. create table
CREATE TABLE application_xml of XMLType
XMLSCHEMA "http://localhost/JobPositionSeeker-1_1.xsd" ELEMENT "JobPositionSeeker"
3. entered some data
4. created the index
create index applicant on application_xml ( SYS_NC_ROWINFO$)
indextype is ctxsys.context
5. select using index
select value(a).getClobVal() from application_xml a
where contains( value(a),'%ai% INPATH(//PersonalData/PersonName/FamilyName)')>0
6. insert another record
-> crash

  • How to define ctxsys.context index for an ORDDoc column

    I need to use Oracle Text to search on a column that is of type ORDsys.OrdDoc. Can someone point me in the direction of an example please - I note someone pointed out that a USER_DATASTORE is the way to go, but what do I need to put it it? I also wish to use Word to HTML feature of the INSO_FILTER if at all possible.
    thanks
    Brigette

    Hi Brian,
    I don't know how to do this with a SQL query (as the OrdDoc may not be displayable say in SQLPlus), but if you check out the samples at http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/products/intermedia/htdocs/intermedia_servlet_jsp_samples/imedia_servlet_jsp_readme.htm
    there is a JAva Servlet that works nicely. If you are not a Java person, there are other samples at http://otn.oracle.com/sample_code/products/intermedia/index.html

  • Suggestion: Oracle text CONTEXT index on one or more columns ?

    Hi,
    I'm implementing Oracle text using CONTEXT ..... and would like to ask you for performance suggestion ...
    I have a table of Articles .... with columns .. TITLE, SUBTITLE , BODY ...
    Now is it better from performance point of view to move all three columns into one dummy column ... with name like FULLTEXT ... and put index on this single column,
    and then use CONTAINS(FULLTEXT,'...')>0
    Or is it almost the same for oracle if i put indexes on all three columns and then call:
    CONTAINS(TITLE,'...')>0 OR CONTAINS(SUBTITLE,'...')>0 OR CONTAINS(BODY,'...')>0
    I actually don't care if the result is a match in TITLE OR SUBTITLE OR BODY ....
    So if i move into some FULLTEXT column, then i have duplicate data in a article row ... but if i create indexes for each column, than oracle has 2x more to index,optimize and search ... am I wright ?
    Table has 1.8mil records ...
    Thank you.

    Another option would be something like this.

    Were i you, i would try out those 3 approaches and see which meet your performance requirements and weigh that with the ease of implementation and administration.

  • Question: create index indextype is ctxsys.context whith NOLOGGING

    Dear All,
    I would like to ask a question about
    CREATE INDEX <index_name> ON <table_name> ( <index_col> ) INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT PARAMETERS ( ... )maybe you experienced that ctxsys.context index creation takes long time.
    When you create a ctxsys.context index it is obvious to reduce the workload of the RDBMS. In this case I would like to reduce the I/O load with NOLOGGING option.
    Firstly, I try to put the index into a tablespace with no logging option. I don't know why but it is not working. Watching the alert.log file I diagnose that redo log generated simultaneously while index generated (there are no other activity on RDBMS).
    Q1 (optional): Why generating redo on object of NOLOGGING tablaspace ?
    I think there are better solution: use the NOLOGGIN option of the create index command which is very simple to use at column indexes.
    Which unclear to me how should I use in CREATE INDEX .. INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT command.
    Fllowing the CREATE INDEX command syntax seems oubvious - but it provides sytax error.
    Maybe this is why CREATE INDEX .. INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT needs something different for options: PL/SQL
    example captured (for options):
    begin
    ctx_ddl.create_preference ('mystore', 'BASIC_STORAGE');
    ctx_ddl.set_attribute ('mystore', 'I_INDEX_CLAUSE', 'tablespace users storage (initial 32k) compress 2');
    end;
    CREATE INDEX docs_idx ON my_docs(doc) INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT PARAMETERS ('STORAGE mystore');Q: How can I specify NOLOGGING option? In the index command? In the attribute? What is the exact syntax if NOLOGGING is allowed at ctxsys.context?
    Oracle version: 11.1.0.6.0
    Any advice, highly appreciated.
    Istvan

    You have to specify nologging in  storage preference.
    See Avoiding Redo Logging for an Oracle Text Domain Index (Doc ID 432762.1)
    Example:
    begin
    ctx_ddl.drop_preference('my_storage');
    end;
    begin
    ctx_ddl.create_preference('my_storage','BASIC_STORAGE');
    end;
    begin
    ctx_ddl.set_attribute('my_storage', 'i_table_clause','tablespace foo1 storage (initial 5M next 10M pctincrease 0 freelists 24 freelist groups 24) nologging');
    ctx_ddl.set_attribute('my_storage', 'k_table_clause','tablespace foo2 storage (initial 5M next 10M pctincrease 0) nologging');
    ctx_ddl.set_attribute('my_storage', 'r_table_clause','tablespace foo3 storage (initial 5M next 10M pctincrease 0) lob(DATA) store as (nocache nologging) nologging');
    ctx_ddl.set_attribute('my_storage', 'n_table_clause','tablespace foo4 storage (initial 5M next 10M pctincrease 0) nologging');
    ctx_ddl.set_attribute('my_storage', 'p_table_clause','tablespace foo5 storage (initial 5M next 10M pctincrease 0) nologging');
    ctx_ddl.set_attribute('my_storage', 'i_index_clause','tablespace foo6 storage (initial 5M next 10M pctincrease 0) compress 2 nologging');

    The multi_column_datastore says that the text to be indexed should be fetched from the supplied COLUMNS list rather than from the actual column the index is created on.
    So in this case we're fetching the contents of "theNumber" column, converting it to text, and indexing it.
    You don't necessarily need a dummy column, if "a_title" is a varchar column you could create the index on that instead.
    For example:
    SQL> create table mytab( a_id number, a_code number, a_title varchar2(80), a_subtitle varchar2(80), a_info clob );
    Table created.
    SQL> insert into mytab values ( 12, 9812376, 'foo is the title',
      2  'foobar is the subtitle', 'the info column will not be indexed' );
    1 row created.
    SQL> exec ctx_ddl.drop_preference( 'myds' )
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    SQL> exec ctx_ddl.create_preference( 'myds', 'MULTI_COLUMN_DATASTORE' )
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    SQL> exec ctx_ddl.set_attribute( 'myds', 'COLUMNS', 'a_code, a_title, a_subtitle' )
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    SQL> create index myindex on mytab (a_title) indextype is ctxsys.context
      2  parameters ('datastore myds');
    Index created.
    SQL> select a_id from mytab where contains (a_title, '%123%') > 0;
          A_ID
            12
    SQL> select a_id from mytab where contains (a_title, 'foo') > 0;
          A_ID
            12If you want to be able to search within a particular column, then add "section group CTXSYS.AUTO_SECTION_GROUP" to the parameters clause, and you can then do:
    SQL> select a_id from mytab where contains (a_title, 'foobar WITHIN a_subtitle') > 0;
          A_ID
            12

  • Faster Context index creation!!

    Hi Experts,
    I am new to the concept of CONTEXT in Oracle and I havent worked on it. My problem is that we have monthly process of rebuilding the context index on a table ( varchar column). This process takes about 8hrs. When I created it the last time I increased the sort_area_size parameter for the session to 500M,increased sort_multiblock_read_count and db_file_multiblock_read_count depending upon the OS limitations,and the index was created in 4 hrs. But this is just DBA trick to do things faster and i beleive it can be done more faster.
    Can anyone suggest me what are the ways of speeding up the index creation process from the CONTEXT perspective
    ,like increasing default memory with Ctx_Adm.Set_Parameter ( 'DEFAULT_INDEX_MEMORY', '500M'); .
    Also having default_index_memory and sort_area_size as 500, will this take 1000M of memory during the index creation?
    Also i read somewhere that before creating index truncating the table DR$INDEX_ERROR will help speeding index creation. Is this right? I think it should not make a difference .
    Any suggestion on speeding up the index creation would be helpful. i cannot create the index in parallel as I am running Oracle 8.1.6 and base table is not partitioned.
    Thanks.

    Sorry for posting this question here. I have put in on TEXT forum.

  • Indextype is ctxsys.context

    hi all,
    i've a problem with index with ctxsys.context index
    i created it on a table has a field (description of a certain component)
    the field's type is VARCHAR2(256)
    The query performed is
    select count(*) from Loaded_Table_Test
    where contains(F8,'%Resistor%') > 0;
    it returns many records
    THE PROBLEM IS
    after many days of perfoming the same query it seems like its
    not working :the query returns nothing
    I wounder if anybody can help me,Thanks in advance
    Rasha Fayez

    Does it return an error message? If you're doing this in a application,
    try it in SQL*Plus to see.
    Most likely reason for this is that you're getting "query too complex".
    This could start happening, even though the query used to work, if more records
    have been added to the table and therefore increased the number of
    expansions for '%resistor%'.
    Double truncation like this is not generally a good idea. Even if you don't
    get the 'query too complex error', the query will perform poorly unless you
    have the SUBSTRING_INDEX option in use.

  • XMLType column based on XML Schema: several questions

    Hi,
    I've a table on an oracle db version 10.1.0.4 where I stage the xml files containing orders created on a third party's system using BizTalk.
    Although the storage I opted for is based on an XML Schema, defined by this third-party, I am facing big perfomance issues with files bigger than a few hundreds of kBs.
    For instance, a 32Mb file takes more than 2 hours to be processed.
    Now, after reading other threads in this forum and the documentation, my understanding of the problem is that the whole issue is with the correct indexing of the nested tables.
    Here is my current XML Schema definition:

    When I registered the XMLSchema, the following types and tables were automatically created and you can see the hierarchy below:
    (by the way, I could not find any xdb_utilities.printNestedTables mentioned elsewhere)
    XML_ORDERS
    |_PickData381_T
    |___ProdRun382_T
    |_____PickWave388_COLL
    |_______PickWave383_T
    |_________Customer387_COLL
    |___________Customer384_T
    |_____________InvOrder386_COLL
    These objects are then used in the following nested tables:
    TABLE_NAME     TABLE_TYPE_NAME     PARENT_TABLE_NAME     PARENT_TABLE_COLUMN
    SYS_NTaK/5zar5S0WitSsgu6OKPQ==     PickWave388_COLL     PickData389_TAB     "XMLDATA"."ProdRun"."PickWave"
    SYS_NTf6QvwVm8SFKz+K/YYWq+WQ==     Item408_COLL     ProdData409_TAB     "XMLDATA"."Item"
    SYS_NTtu05ilrRQqmuEN4k+07VDA==     Customer402_COLL     OutboundParty403_TAB     "XMLDATA"."Customer"
    SYS_NTK6fhWq5uTJ+vKcgBpNm1Fg==     InvOrder386_COLL     SYS_NTIIzv7bkXQSSS43igtfi5eg==     InvOrder

    Note that I cancelled this operation before it was over so I imagine that these figures refer to the statistics as of the time when the operation was interrupted.
    So, here are finally my questions.
    In order to create the constraints on the nested tables as shown in other threads, do I need to drop the existing xml_orders table and ancillary object types and recreate them or is there a way to add such constraints using the existing system generated object names?
    Secondly, the xml_orders table may contain severale documents, not just one and his current primary key is the column ID. So, in order to uniquely identify the deepest element in the xml document, I need first to select the relevant document by means of the id column.
    Would it be better to create the indexes containing this id column together with the nested_table_id and array_index?
    Thanks for you help.

    PS: I wrote a 10 lines xsl transformation that I passed on to Saxon together with the 32Mb file. It took less than 1 minute to produce a flat file that was loaded almost instantly by SQL*Loader. So, what I am looking for is a procedure loading this stuff in less than 2 minutes or possibly less.

    Does the following help

  • How can i change a xmltype column's xml schema?

    i create a table that have a xmltype column.this column is schema-based.
    my problem is ,
    now i want to this column's schema will be redefined to a global schema?
    [b]how can i change the column's schema which already have a schema?

    When a schema is registered a lot of additonal annotations are added to the XML schema by the schema registration process - Look at the version of the XML schema under /sys/schemas/... in the XML DB repository. This information is unqiue to that version of the XML schema and is used internally to manage instance level metadata.
    When instance documents are stored in the DB a set of metadata is generated for each document so that we can make sure that we can maintain DOM Fidelity. This metadata is tied directly to the XML schema the document is associated and is only valid in the context of that XML Schema.
    So when the schema is registered locally and instances are stored the generated metadata is only valid in the context of the local schema. If the same schema is now registered globally new values will be generated for the annotations applied to the global version of the XML schema. Consequently the metadata associated with a document belonging to the local version of the XML schema has no meaning when viewed in the context of the global version of the XML schema.
    The net effect of this is that you will need to copy the data in order to get documents where the metadata for each document is based on the global version of the XML SChema.

  • How to create a Context index on a Substitutable Column ?

    Hi all,

  • How to create index on XMLType column extension?

    I have an XMLType column named "info" whose corresponding global element has a complexType "InfoType" in namespace "http://example.org/ord". The "InfoType" complexType is extended in two namespaces, "http://example.org/info/zipcode" and "http://example.org/info/street". How do I create a unique index using an "InfoType" element contributed from one of the extension namespaces?
    I have included below a SQL script that completely describes the problem.
    Thanks in advance for your assistance?

  • Insert performance on a table with schema based XMLType column

    Hi,
    We are inserting around 500K rows into a table which has one XMLType column (schema based). Schema is simple and the size of the XMLType column is also not very large (on an average only around 100 bytes (max might be around 1k-2k), but it takes around 1 hr for every 20K rows, which seems very slow.
    The schema is like this :
    <schema targetNamespace="http://www.citadon.com/xml/test.xsd"
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    xmlns:xdb="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb"
    xdb:storeVarrayAsTable="true"
    version="1.0" elementFormDefault="qualified">
    <element name="cas">
    <complexType>
    <sequence>
    <element name="ca" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">
    <complexType>
    <sequence>
    <element name="id" type="string"/>
    <element name="value" type="string"/>
    </sequence>
    </complexType>
    </element>
    </sequence>
    </complexType>
    </element>
    </schema>
    Any thoughts on how to improve performance?

    You need to have sufficient data.. Also the event show in the following code may help depending on the nature of the query....
    Note in the PurchaseOrder Example if I only have 133 docs, instead of 10,000 I will get tablescan and index full scans

  • Creating Indexes within an XMLType column

    Hi,
    I have following XML document stored as XMLType column,
    <ocaStatus xmlns="http://xmlbeans.apache.org/ocastatus"><status><statusCode>934</statusCode><statusDate>Wed Apr 07 16:05:53 GMT+05:30 2010</statusDate><userId>u0121845</userId><comment>Sent to LTC</comment></status><status><statusCode>934</statusCode><statusDate>Wed Apr 07 15:58:25 GMT+05:30 2010</statusDate><userId>u0121845</userId><comment>Sent to LTC</comment></status><status><statusCode>934</statusCode><statusDate>Wed Apr 07 15:54:02 GMT+05:30 2010</statusDate><userId>u0121845</userId><comment>Sent to LTC</comment></status><status><statusCode>750</statusCode><statusDate>2010-03-31 12:39:41.580 GMT+05:30</statusDate><userId>u0121845</userId><comment>Document Metadata is correct.</comment></status><status><statusCode>934</statusCode><statusDate>2010-03-31 12:39:41.580 GMT+05:30</statusDate><userId>u0121845</userId><comment>Sent to LTC</comment></status><status><statusCode>932</statusCode><statusDate>2010-03-31 12:39:41.580 GMT+05:30</statusDate><userId>u0121845</userId><comment>Loaded to Novus</comment></status><status><statusCode>700</statusCode><statusDate>2010-03-31 12:39:41.580 GMT+05:30</statusDate><userId>u0121845</userId><comment>Document is deleted from OCA.</comment></status></ocaStatus>
    I created following Indexes within the XML,
    CREATE INDEX "OCA_DEV"."OCA_STATUS_CODE_INDEX" ON "OCA_DEV"."DOCUMENT_STATUS_XML" (EXTRACTVALUE('/ocaStatus/status/statusCode'));
    CREATE INDEX "OCA_DEV"."OCA_STATUS_DATE_INDEX" ON "OCA_DEV"."DOCUMENT_STATUS_XML" (EXTRACTVALUE('/ocaStatus/status/statusDate'));
    However the problem is that I will be having multiple status within each XML which violates the Indexing.
    Is there any way I can still create the Indexes allowing multiple status values in each XML?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    You may want to store your document as a schema-based, object-relational XMLType to achieve that.
    Then you'll be able to create indexes on the nested table used to store each "status" element.
    Here's an example based on your sample document.
    1) First, create and register a schema. The following is basic but sufficient here, let's call it "ocastatus.xsd" :
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <xsd:schema
    targetNamespace="http://xmlbeans.apache.org/ocastatus"
