Data Model: Relational Tables/Columns Naming Options

Hello,
My design consists of several Relational models.
1. Using Logical model properties, I defined Naming Options (Max. Name Length, Character Case, Valid Characters) applicable to all Entities, Attributes and Views.
2. But for Relational models, Tables/Columns/Views Naming Options (Max. Name Length, Character Case, Valid Characters) can only be defined per Relational model and not for all the models.
Question: Is it possible to define Tables/Columns/Views Naming Options (Max. Name Length, Character Case, Valid Characters) applicable to all Relational models? If yes, please inform me.
Thanks
Chiedu

Andrey,
When You select all the columns, you need to hold the Shift key to select all. Don't let it go to do the copy. So, still holding the shift key, right click for the context menu. The menu only has 2 items, Copy and Delete. Now Copy. Then you can go to the diagram and select paste, to paste them in each of the tables you want those columns to appear in.

Syntax of DDL options and related (table) column names

Hi,
where can I find something like a mapping between DDL options and related table column names?
For example I do have the table options PCTFREE, FREELISTS and NOCOMPRESS. The related table columns out of user_tables are PCT_FREE, FREELIST and COMPRESS.
PCT(_)FREE wins an Underscore, FREELIST(S) wins an "S" and it is "NOCOMPRESS" if COMPRESS has a value "Y(es)".
Hope somebody can help.

So far I didn't find any information that is not in
the DDL script gernerated from
DBMS_METADATA.get_DDL.Alright, I give you an example:
I create a table with the following DDL:
"CREATE TABLE IntBuch (
int_bunr integer NOT NULL,
int_sdat double precision NOT NULL,
int_hblz char(8) NOT NULL,
int_hkto char(7) NOT NULL,
int_hdat double precision NOT NULL,
KtoNr char(7) NOT NULL,
BLZ char(8) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT PK_IntBuch PRIMARY KEY (int_bunr)
USING INDEX
PCTFREE 10
STORAGE (
INITIAL 1000
NEXT 500
PCTINCREASE 0
MINEXTENTS 1
MAXEXTENTS 4096
PCTFREE 20
LOGGING
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX intid
ON IntBuch (int_bunr DESC)
CREATE INDEX hkto
ON IntBuch (int_hblz,int_hkto)
COMMENT ON TABLE IntBuch
IS 'Kommentar zu DB-Tabelle InBuch'
COMMENT ON COLUMN IntBuch.int_sdat IS 'Kommentar zu DB-Spalte int_sdat'
ALTER TABLE IntBuch
ADD CONSTRAINT Gutschrift FOREIGN KEY (int_hkto,int_hblz) REFERENCES Konto
ON DELETE CASCADE
ADD FOREIGN KEY (KtoNr,BLZ) REFERENCES Konto
ADD FOREIGN KEY (int_bunr) REFERENCES Buchung
ON DELETE CASCADE
After that I read the DDL with DBMS_METADATA.get_DDL and I get
" CREATE TABLE "UOENDE"."INTBUCH"
( "INT_BUNR" NUMBER(*,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
 "INT_SDAT" FLOAT(126) NOT NULL ENABLE,
 "INT_HBLZ" CHAR(8) NOT NULL ENABLE,
 "INT_HKTO" CHAR(7) NOT NULL ENABLE,
 "INT_HDAT" FLOAT(126) NOT NULL ENABLE,
 "KTONR" CHAR(7) NOT NULL ENABLE,
 "BLZ" CHAR(8) NOT NULL ENABLE,
 CONSTRAINT "PK_INTBUCH" PRIMARY KEY ("INT_BUNR")
USING INDEX PCTFREE 10 INITRANS 2 MAXTRANS 255 COMPUTE STATISTICS
STORAGE(INITIAL 16384 NEXT 1048576 MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS 2147483645

PCTINCREASE 0 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT)
TABLESPACE "USERS"
If there are no more DDLOptions possible than that, it is fine for me. If not, but all kinds of options are to find in only one or two tables of the database ( user_tables for table options, dba_constraints and dba_segments for column options, primary and foreign keys, user_indexes and user_segments for indexes ...), that is fine for me, too. (As long as I get to know which tables are "sufficient" for that.) If it is different than both of that, that's bad.
However if you want to use defaults instead of
absolut values, it is better to remove certain parts,
like the storage clause, from the generated output.I understand this, but I am more interested to have all and not leaving out some of them in order to have the defaults in the database after running the DDL.
A totally different approach could be to
a) create a database link from one DB to another.
b) create table <new_table> as select * from
<old_table@dbLink> where 1=2;I keep that in mind, thanks for that hint.

Displaying data from multiple table/column

hello ..
anybody can help me how to diplaying data from multiple table/ column in PHP. TQ

Follow the "How do I SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE data from PHP?" example from http://wiki.oracle.com/page/PHP+Oracle+FAQ and change the "select ..." query to your favourite join, e.g.
select country_name, region_name from countries, regions where countries.region_id = regions.region_id;

XML Data from Relational Tables

Hi,
My requirement is to pull data from relational tables into xml format and port it to the user (either as a file or allow the user to access it directly from their browser). What is the best way to accomplish this. Your suggestions are appreciated.
thanks.

Marco,
Thanks for your reply, did try that , but I want the users to query this view also. Due to the nature of the xml structure I am getting the correct results. May be my xpath query is not right? My xml is as below:
<node1 attribute-node1 = "somevalue1">
<cnode1 attribute-cnode1 = "somevalue2">
<cnode2 attribute-cnode2 = "somevalue3">
<cnode3>somevalue4</cnode3>
<cnode4>somevalue5</cnode4>
</cnode2>
<cnode2 attribute-cnode2 = "somevlaue6">
<cnode3>somevalue6</cnode3>
<cnode4>somevalue7</cnode4>
</cnode2>
</cnode1>
</node1>
and my requirement is like : the user wants to see only cnode2 with attribute value "somevalue3" (along with the rest of the xml) ie
<node1 attribute-node1 = "somevalue1">
<cnode1 attribute-cnode1 = "somevalue2">
<cnode2 attribute-cnode2 = "somevalue3">
<cnode3>somevalue4</cnode3>
<cnode4>somevalue5</cnode4>
</cnode2>
</cnode1>
</node1>
Need the correct xpath query for this.
Thanks

SQL Developer Data Modeler - Relation to Foreign Key Generation

SQL Developer Data Modeler 2.0.0 Build 584.
I am having trouble with Relations to Foreign Keys when Forward Engineering a Relational Model from a Logical Model.
First of all, the Naming Standard is not applied to the Foreign Keys when I perform the Engineer to Relational Model.
So I right click on the Relational Model from the Browser and Apply Naming Standards to Keys and Constraints.
I uncheck everything but Foreign Keys.
Now, Foreign Keys are named according to my Naming Standards.
However, this process also performs renames on the Column Foreign Keys even though I specifically unchecked that option.
This appears to be a BUG in the software and I haven't found a way around it.
I tried using {column} instead of {ref column} in the Naming Standard Template for Column Foreign Key, but that simply resulted in renaming my columns to "{column}".
Please confirm and/or let me know of any work-around for this.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi Philip,
Thanks for the reply.
Is this recorded as a bug to be addressed in the future?
Should I submit this problem via Oracle Support?
The other work-around I came up with is to override every Relation name in the Logical Model with the name I want to use in the Relational Model.
When the Relational Model is Engineered, this becomes my Foreign Key name.
Of course, this is not how I want to do things, so I am hoping for a bug fix someday.
Regards,
Dan

Data Modeler: Relational data model questions

1. Can a different notation be specified for relational data models' constraints? Specifically, I'd like crow's feet. BTW, the docs show crow's feet and parent pointer (with the arrowhead), but there's no such thing in the actual modeler.
2. Is there any way to manually route FK constraints lines?
3. When forward engineering from logical, is there any way to indicate the preferred name for keys and indexes (primary, unique, foreign)?
4. Mandatory/optional indicator on tables: what exactly does 'N' or 'A' stand for? I can understand 'N' meaning "Not optional", but 'A'? Wouldn't it be simpler to use '*' and 'o' like in the logical?
Man, do I ever miss Designer!
Thanks,
Patrick

Here's one more question:
I've transformed several super/sub entities to relational, and some of the tables do not allow me to open Properties (on the table). I can use the navigator to open column properties, but cannot open table properties (neither from diagrammer nor from navigator). Some of the tables are two or three subtype levels deep, and I haven't figured out why some open and some don't.

SQL Developer Data Modeler "Reports" Duplicate Columns in Index- Bug

I am using SQL Data Modeler of SQL Developer - 3.2.20.09
Problem Description:
In the "Indexes" section of report generated for a table, column appear twice.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create an Entity in Modeler: COMPANY, Add attributes COMP_ID and COMP_DESC to it, mark COMP_ID as PK
2. Engineer it to Relational Model
3. Go to 'File->Data Modeler->Reports'
4. Select 'Available reports' = 'Table' and press 'Generate Report'
5. View the report.
Indexes shown for the table contains duplicate columns for COMP_ID

Loading XML Data into Relational Table

Hello,
I receive an XML file generated from another tool (on Windows), I am trying to create a Linux shell script that will gather the needed XML file from my Linux database server, then have Oracle use this file to load the XML data into a relational table. This activity & data will be needed on an ongoing basis.
I have tried this two ways. First, I loaded the XML document into the database and tried to extract the data directly from the document, but that is not working. Now I want to try to read the data directly from the file on the server via select, however I am not getting any data returned. In the Select statement below, I am simply trying to query the data to see what is returned for my testing.
Create Table ci_results_table (transactionID Varchar2(100), //transactionID should be PrimaryKey but was getting NULL value errors during insert test, so removed PK
message Varchar2(200),
ci Varchar2(50),
processeddate xmltype,
status Varchar2(50),
sourcefile VarChar2(100));
select x.*
from XMLTable(
     'TSPLoadResults/Results'
     PASSING xmltype(bfilename('CMDB_DEVADHOCRESULTS_DIR','LoadResults-HP_146.results.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8'))
     COLUMNS
       transactionID Varchar2(100) PATH 'TransactionID',
       Result XMLType PATH 'Result',
       Message Varchar2(200) PATH 'Message',
       PrimaryKey Varchar2(50) PATH 'PrimaryKey',
       ProcessedDate date PATH 'ProcessedDate',
       Status Varchar2(50) PATH 'Status',
       SourceFile VarChar2(100) PATH 'SourceFileName'
   ) x
Eventually I will need to build on this to limit the data returned to those records where SourceFileName is like 'HPDS%' and insert what is returned in to the ci_results_table. Attached is a sample Results XML file I am trying to load, It is named "ResultsTransformedtoUnix" because I used dos2Unix to convert it to Unix which may be right or wrong. (The output file I send out has to be transformed to DOS format before the other application can read it). Original file (before Unix conversion) named in script is also attached.
Please help. Thank you!

Hi,
I see some wrong things in your query.
1) The obvious one, explaining why you're not getting any data : there's a typo in the XQuery expression, it's "Result" not "Results"
2) ProcessedDate cannot be extracted as a date (at least not directly) since it actually represents a timestamp, use TIMESTAMP WITH TIME ZONE datatype and cast back to DATE in the SELECT clause
3) transactionID is an attribute, it must be accessed with '@' (or 'attribute::' axis)
4) If the file encoding is truly ISO-8859-1 as the prolog suggests, then do not use AL32UTF8 but the corresponding charset name : WE8ISO8859P1
Here's the working query :
select x.transactionID
     , x.Message
     , x.Primarykey
     , cast(x.ProcessedDate as date) ProcessDate
     , x.Status
     , x.SourceFile
from XMLTable(
       '/TSPLoadResults/Result'
       PASSING xmltype(bfilename('XML_DIR','LoadResults-HP_146.results.xml'), nls_charset_id('WE8ISO8859P1'))
       COLUMNS
         transactionID Varchar2(100)            PATH '@transactionID',
         Message       Varchar2(200)            PATH 'Message',
         PrimaryKey    Varchar2(50)             PATH 'PrimaryKey',
         ProcessedDate timestamp with time zone PATH 'ProcessedDate',
         Status        Varchar2(50)             PATH 'Status',
         SourceFile    VarChar2(100)            PATH 'SourceFileName'
     ) x
Using this query directly over the file will only perform decently (for large files) on 11.2.0.4 and onwards.
On prior versions, first load the file in a (temporary) XMLType column with Binary XML storage and SELECT from there.
because I used dos2Unix to convert it to Unix which may be right or wrong.
This conversion shouldn't be necessary.

Extracting data from Relational tables in 11.1.2.1

I want to extract the following data sets from relational tables
1. Attribute and its associated base member
2. Smartlist value of an account
Does any one have a code to extract this kind of data? Even pointing to the correct table names will be helpful.
Thanks

The table layouts can be found in the [documentation for EPMA|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/middleware/bi-foundation/epm-data-models-11121-354684.zip] . If this doesn't work, there are other options to export hierarchies to text files. You can use life cycle management or the [EPMA File Generator|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epma_file_gen_user/launch.html].

Mapping with xml-schema XML-data to relational tables

Hello,
is it possible to map data from xml documents to relational tables with xml-schema?
I mean not in nested tables but in relational tables with primary and foreign keys!
With SQL Server 2005 it is very easy, I dont believe that Oracle couldn't do this!
I searched but i cant find anything about that!
Thx
user445232

indeed, oracle does this for xml schema based xmltype data, however, these underlying tables are not accessable to the application. Maybe It should for next version, so folks who like to use relational model can use it without mapping it manually.
Actually, nested tables, are the same, their underlying tables (segments) are indeed relational tables, oracle manages them internally and not visiable to the application. You can find them in the user_segments, user_objects views though.

Relation table columns

Does KODO support additional persistent columns in a relation table?
Examples would be a timestamp or an additional flag. Currently the
relation table is updated automatically by the objects in the
relationship, but there is no object representing the relation table
itself.

Hi,
 we faced the same need and have gone ahead with a slew of relation
classes/subclasses with rules in them to manage their rightness. the default
relation table is not amenable to model complex associations.

SQL Loader: handling difference datatypes in data file and table column

Hi,
I am not sure if my question is valid but I am having this doubt.
I am trying to load data from my data file into a table with just a single column of FLOAT datatype using SQL Loader. But very few insertions take place, leaving a large number of record rejected for the same reason-
Record 7: Rejected - Error on table T1, column MSISDN.
ORA-01722: invalid number
The data in my datafile goes like this: (with a single space before every field)
233207332711<EOFD><EORD> 233208660745<EOFD><EORD> 233200767380<EOFD><EORD>
Here I want to know if there is any way to type cast the data read from the data file to suit my table column's datatype.
How do I handle this? I want to load all the data from my datafile into my table.

Pl continue the discussion in your original post - Pls help: SQL Loader loads only one record

Data model - is tables and relationships between them are graph or tree

Hello
I want to ask if tables in database are nodes of graph what should this graph looks like - like real graph (with
cycles) or tree ?
Let the tables are nodes of graph and the relationships between the tables are edges in the graph.

You can put the \ tag before and after text to preserve white space. That likely makes things easier to read if you're trying to post ASCII graphs.
I wouldn't hesitate to use the proper set of tables and relationships for the entities I was trying to model. Would I be concerned if my data model were full of loops? Sure, that might cause me to double-check that I hadn't done something silly. Would I be concerned if my data model had a loop if that was the best way to model something? Not at all.
There is no theoretical answer because the quality of a data model has nothing to do with whether it is more tree-like or more graph-like.

Oracle Data Modeler - No Table Relationship

I am having problems when I use the import data dictionary function. First I choose my schema and tables. then after the import is complete, the tables are there but, there is no relationship between the table's keys. I am not sure if I do not have it configured correctly or what it could be. All the examples I find online seem to work correctly. ANy ideas?
Edited by: user13161578 on Nov 12, 2010 8:31 AM

Have you tried with one of the sample schemas, like HR? Are you selecting tables with FK relationships between them?
What database version and Data Modeler version are you using?

Issue with LOV data populating to table column - Urgent

Hi,
I have done a create record screen.
It contains an advanced table with few columns. One of the columns is an LOV in every row to be added.
The user would select a value from LOV for column1 and key in values for other columns.
However, when I click on Add (PFR gets invoked), I get an error
'Row1 <col name> - Select a valid value'.
Ex: LOV shows 3 records X, Y, and Z.
I choose value X . It gets populated in table column. I enter value for fe other columns and click on Add.(which invokes PFR)
but the moment I click on Add, I get an error, Row1 <column name> - select a valid value
It displays same error in the tabel column also as in OAAttrValException.
Any inputs to solve this would be great help
Thanks,
Kamath.

Your statement "Looks like VO2 is not being attached to the adv table in PFR?" holds the key to your issue.
Are you trying to attach the VO in PFR? Only a selected properties can be modified for beans in PFR. Put your code in processRequest and it should work.
