Data Dictionary View for Procedure Text

Hi,
Is there a data-dictionary where I can see the body of procedures. In fact, I received a request from a collegue to give him the procedure name which access a table "table_1".
So, my idea is to write a query as follows:
SELECT <procedure_name> FROM <data_dictionary> WHERE <text> LIKE '%table_1%'.
Thanks in advance.

You can try with DBA_SOURCE or USER_SOURCE.
i.e.
SELECT NAME FROM DBA_SOURCE
WHERE OWNER='<OWNER NAME>'
AND TYPE='PROCEDURE'
AND TEXT LIKE '%table_1%';
Regards,
Sabdar Syed.

Hello,
I will do a Overview over all of our Full Backups.
I am searching in the Data Dictionary Views but I colud not found the right information.
I could find a nice overview over the last redo log archive etc but no overview over the full backups?!

Reporting on Data Dictionary Views

We are in the process of documenting our database, and it seems like there should be an easy way of doing so, given all the information provided in the data dictionary views. I haven't used Oracle Reports yet, and I was wondering if it will create reports based on these tables/views. I tried Crystal, and it does not see these views. I assume I could write a SQL statement with formatting to create a text report, but I would rather use the Reports tool. Will this work? Is there another tool/better way to document the relationships, constraints, etc., etc., of the database?

Can we determine path of my INIT.ORA file from data dictionary views.

Hello Guru’s
I am new to oracle, My question is for the sake of my knowledge: I work on oracle 10G.
Is there any data dictionary view from where I can get the path of my INIT.ORA file.

AFAIK , its no. You can check the path from the show parameter command like following,

spfile string

Result_cache and data dictionary views

Hi,
Are there any special considerations when caching the results of a function which uses data dictionary views to determine it's results?
This question has popped because I have a such a result_cached function for which the result_cache objects are not getting invalidated even when the underlying data dictionary views have changed and the function gives 'stale' values in it's output. Adding the relies_on clause has not helped either.
Here is what I am trying to do:
The function accepts table name as its input and tries to determine all the child tables using the sys.dba_constraints view. The results are returned in a pl/sql table and are cached so that the subsequent calls to this function use the result_cache.
Everything works fine for the parent/child tables which have been created before the creation of this function. All the results are correct.
The problem starts when a new child table is added to an existing parent table.
The v$result_cache_objects view shows the result of this function as 'Published' and the output of the function does not show the newly created child table.
Same is the case when an existing child table is deleted; the function continues to return it in the output as it is pulled from the result_cache.
Oracle version:
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
CORE 11.2.0.1.0 Production
TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production

>
Restrictions on Result-Cached Functions*
To be result-cached, a function must meet all of these criteria:
* It is not defined in a module that has invoker's rights or in an anonymous block.
* It is not a pipelined table function.
* It does not reference dictionary tables, temporary tables, sequences, or nondeterministic SQL functions.
For more information, see Oracle Database Performance Tuning Guide.
* It has no OUT or IN OUT parameters.
* No IN parameter has one of these types:
o BLOB
o CLOB
o NCLOB
o REF CURSOR
o Collection
o Object
o Record
* The return type is none of these:
o BLOB
o CLOB
o NCLOB
o REF CURSOR
o Object
o Record or PL/SQL collection that contains an unsupported return type
It is recommended that a result-cached function also meet these criteria:
* It has no side effects.
For information about side effects, see "Subprogram Side Effects".
* It does not depend on session-specific settings.
For more information, see "Making Result-Cached Functions Handle Session-Specific Settings".
* It does not depend on session-specific application contexts.

How to find out the aligning Data dictionary table for a structure.

Hi
As the table controls are associated with strucures, the data input goes to the data dictionary table aligned to that structure. Is there any way we can find out the table related to that particular structure ?
Thanks,
Dhareppa

Hi,
The structure and its fields may be associated with multiple database tables.
You can try by where-used list of the structure/field and then you can look and determine the table by hit and try method.
Also as suggested above you can try get the SQL trace and then ypu can look for table associated behind the structure/fields I believe this is the best way to find the DB table.
Thanks,
Ravi

For example, this program works really well with saving long text using the SAVE_TEXT function. Here you need to create the object/id in SE75. For this program you enter the id on the right like 999999 and enter the text on the left, execute and the text is saved, now change the id to 999998 and hit enter, notice the text is blank, now enter 999999 again, notice the text for this id has come back, this is because the program uses READ_TEXT to retrieve the text.

Data Dictionary Info for Constraints

Hi,
I want to get Information from the data dictionary about foreign key constraints.
I want to get information about all constraints which REFER to a certain table and column, so I want to get the table/colum which is the parent in a foreign_key realtionship.
I can use ALL_CONS_COLUMNS, but I only get the parent table but not the child table.
Example:
Table A.COLUMN_1 is the parent, there are two foreign key relationships: table B.COLUMN_2 and table C.COLUMN_2, they refer to table A.COLUMN_1.
I want a query which gives me table B and C when I specify table A.COLUMN_1.
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
thanks for that reply, after doing that I can not select this DD-view from sql-prompt anymore (which I don't wonder ;-). Can you tell me, what idea you had behind that test ?
I found another instance, where the procedure works and I will compare those privileges, but it's hard to sort out that complex structure of nested roles and sys_privs.
How ever, I will update here, when I found the missing privilege.

Calendar to select dates in Viewer for Date Parameters !!?

Hi All,
I have a report which has paramaters Audit Date From : and Audit Date To:
When a users tries to run this Report from Discoverer Viewer he/she has to type the dates manually like "05-SEP-2010" ,
BUT users are confused as some of them type in '05-SEPT-2010' and raise defects that the report is not working properly.
Instead is there a way to embed a calendar so that a user can just select teh date he wants and it populates the parameter as understood to the report ??
This feauture is available in Discoverer Plus by default but not in the Viewer.
Please advice asap..Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
VJ

Hi,
This issue came up already in the past several times.
The viewer do not have this calendar functionality as in the Plus.
You can either put a description on the parameter so that the user will be able to see the format,
or simply use the Plus.
* you can set the privileges so that the users will use the Plus but will have no privileges to create or save or change, much like the viewer.

Query to obtain tables in SH schema using data-dictionary views/tables.

Hi,
I have just installed Oracle 10g Database. Logged on to SQL Plus by scott (changed the password as prompted).
I want to see the tables in SH schema (which comes by default with Oracle 10g database).
The problem, I am facing is:
I can see the schema name: SH in the result of the below query:
SELECT * FROM ALL_USERS
but, nothing is returned in the result of the below query:
SQL> SELECT OWNER FROM ALL_TABLES WHERE OWNER='SH';
Result: no rows selected.
Why is this happening?
What will be the correct query to obtain tables present in SH schema ?
Thanks in Advance & Regards,
Deeba

conn /as sysdba
SQL> select table_name from dba_tables where owner='SH';
I think the user SCOTT have no privilege to see SH schema tables through all_tables view.
