Database meta information about tables columns

Hi.
Is it possible to query all tables on my db schema, to know witch tables have a certain column, for example "column price" ?
And if possible, how can i do it?
I have Oracle 9.2i .
Cheers.

eheh thanks guys :D
Im doing it this way:
SELECT
FROM
sys.all_tab_cols
WHERE
owner = 'my_owner' AND
table_name LIKE 'First_letter_of_tables%' AND
column_name = 'the_sneaky_column'
Thanks,
Cheers.

I want complete information about table maintanence genarator?

i want complete information about table maintanence genarator?

hi there,,,,,,,
The purpose of table maintainence generator is to enable the table maintenance through SM30, and to implement and validation etc on table field inputs.
SE11->Utillities->table maintainence generator
You need to enter the values of following fields:
1. Table name
2. Authorization group , and authorization object (select the suitable one )
3. Function group and package
4. Maintainence type : single or double screen maintainence view depending on the option selected.
5. Maintain screen number : you may specify a value or let the system generate one for you.
The validation code for the table entry is written in the flow logic of this screen. Even some of the fields may be made display only , by adding suitable code in the logic or directly disabling the input in table control in the layout.
Table maintanance is for creating,adding datas to an existing table.
it is for adding muiltiple records at a time in the table
A table can be manipulated by a program or manually.
When creating table, you will find a check box 'Table maintenance allowed'. If we
check that option, we can manually enter entries using SE16 or table
maintenance generator screen.
SE16 is for data browser.
Go to SE11, give the table name and click on change. Then Go to utilities--> Table
maintenance generator.
In the table maintenance generator screen, we should give Authorization Group,
Function Group name (Function Group name can be same as table name),
Maintenance type can be one step or two step, usually we will create with one
step. we should give maintenance screen number. After clicking on create button,
a table maintenance generator will be created.
To check it go to SM30 . In SM30, we find display, Maintain options.
We can view the table contents by choosing Display and we can create table
entries by choosing Maintain.
In the production system, end-users will not be having access to transaction
codes like SE11 and SE16. Developers will not be having access to many
transaction codes including the above two.
To view the contents of the database table, we will use SE16n in Production
system. Please find out the difference between SE16 and SE16n.
All these authorizations will be maintained by BASIS team, by creating access
profiles.
So in order to edit or create the contents of a database table, we should go for
table maintenance generator. In real time, authorizations will be maintained in
production system. (even in development and Test systems to some extent).
There is an audit like Sarbanes-Oxley Act for American clients, where every thing
will be audited by government agency. To know more about SOX, use the links on
the right hand side of this page.
The second reason is, we can edit or create multiple entries at a time, using table
maintenance generator.
Apart from that we have options like 'Enter conditions' in table maintenance
screen SM30. Please try to find out the use of those, by creating an example.
Table Maintenance generator: Difference between one step and two steps.
While creating table maintenance generator, we find below options:
When we choose one step, we have to give the screen number in Overview Screen field.
When we choose two step, we have to give both overview screen number and single screen number.
You can give any number for screen. Dont give 1000 screen number. As this
number is reserved for selection screen.
When we choose two step, two screens will be created for table maintenance. For
single step only one screen will be created.
When we choose two step, table maintenance will work as follows
Go to SM30, give the table name for which you have created table maintenance-
Overview screen will be displayed. To create entries, when you click on new
entries. Another screen will be displayed, where you give input and save. You can
enter one record at a time.
Go to SM30; give table name for which you have created table maintenance-
Overview screen will be displayed; To create entries click on new entries, you can
enter the records on the same screen. You can enter multiple records at a time.
We use single step generally, as it is user friendly.
To completely understand the difference and above points please do exercise by
creating table maintenance generator in both ways (using single step and two
step).

One step, two step in Table Maintenance Generator
Single step: Only overview screen is created i.e. the Table Maintenance Program will have only one screen where you can add, delete or edit records.
Two step: Two screens namely the overview screen and Single screen are created. The user can see the key fields in the first screen and can further go on to edit further details.

How to get view's information about referenced columns in tables

Hello all,
I was searching for DBA view in Oracle DB that shows info about view. Especially, I want to find information for every column in a view - from which table is that column and what is its original column name. Is that possible at all?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Ivansev,
How about this?
select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('VIEW',<view_name>,<owner_of_view_default_current>) from dual; Example:
SQL> set long 4000
SQL> select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('VIEW','V1','USER1') from dual;
DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('VIEW','V1','USER1')
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW "USER1"."V1" ("EMPN") AS
select ename empn from scott.emp

Information about table spaces.

Hi!
I have a requirement to create a Bex by which I can display the list of table spaces available and status of those table spaces like memory free, Used. Though we can get this information from DB02 I need to generate a report and broadcast that to users.
Can anyone help me in telling me the table name where you can get the list of table spaces and infomation or any function module which lists the table spaces name and status of them.
Regards
Venkat

Hello,
Could you please share more information about this? We need to do the same thing. How did you create your generic datasource? what table/Function module did you used?
Thank you

Information about table calls

Hi to all,
I can to know the table calls, running transaction ST10, but I need to know, what programs and users are generating those calls.
Can someone give me any help about how I can get the information about those calls?
Regards
Eduardo Barrios

Hi Eduardo,
unfortunately, there is no direct tool available ...
But, you could start an ST05 trace for just one of these tables for ALL users on the appl-server and then track after a few minutes, hours and see ...
This trace only reduces performance a bit ...

Getting information about table names & other meta data

Hi,
I want to know about DatabaseMetaData & how to acess all table names & other metadata using JDBC-ODBC as well as direct drivers
can i get code for converting one type of database file to other.
Idesperately need this code.
please............

While most RDBMS implementations are stored as flat files, you cannot normally directly 'convert one type of database file to other'. DatabaseMetaData will give you a list of tables, views, schema, columns, etc. You can then create your own dynamic SQL statement, SELECT the data from the legacy RDBMS and INSERT into the new RDBMS. Otherwise, I'm not sure how you would accomplish a conversion without knowing the internals of the database or special software.

Information about Table Type

Hi Guys,
What does Table Type mean?
What are uses of Table Type?
Regards,
Chandru

Hi
Analogous to the predefined ABAP types such as C or I , one may define user-defined types in the dictionary.
The following user-defined types are allowed
Data elements: Describe an elementary type by defining the data type, length and possibly decimal places.
Structures: Consist of components that can have any type.
Table types: Describe the structure of an internal table.
Elaboration on the type categories.
There are three different type categories in the ABAP Dictionary:
Data elements (elementary types) Elementary types have no structure. They describe the data type attributes (such as given Dictionary data type, number of places) and information that is relevant for the screen (such as title) of unstructured data objects (variables/fields).
Structures (structured types) Structured types describe the structure and functions of any structured data objects, that is of data structures with components of any type. A component can be a field with an elementary type or can itself be a structure. A table can also be used as a component in a structure. A database table always has a structure and is therefore implicitly a structured type. However, the fields of a database table can only have an elementary type.
Table types Table types describe the structure and functions of internal tables in the ABAP program. Their rows can have any row type. Table types with elementary row type therefore can be defined just the same as multi-dimensional table types (table types with a table type as row type) or table types using structures with table-like components.
Any complex user-defined type may be built using the
previously mentioned basic types.

I thought I'd give you a response even if I can't answer your question completely. (I think we ought to start a separate thread entitled "How do you get any replies on this forum???") Here is what I have been forced to do. I introduced some JavaScript on the web page that contains the applet I want to be run. The sole purpose of the JavaScript is to detect which platform the client is on. If it's not MacIntosh, then I have JavaScript write the <object><embed> tag used by the Java plug-in. It it is MachIntosh, then I have JavaScript write the regular <applet> tag and let the Mac browsers do as best they can. With mixed and disappointing results. Netscape 6.2 crashes with a lot of applets. IE 5 brings up the applet okay but certain Swing components aren't displaying properly. The MacIntosh I've been testing on is version 9.1. I'm trying OS X tomorrow.
Why don't you send a reply to my query under the Java Plug-in Forum--from aronsz, dated 06/11/02--if you have some more info by now. I sure would appreciate it.

JDBC provides wrong meta information (Oracle 8.1.7)

Hi all
When I get the meta information about the datatype 'date', the literal prefix and the literal suffix are delivered as 'null'.
When I execute an insert statement such as: 'insert into TEST_TABLE (BIRTHDATE) values (31.01.2002)' I get the error: 'ORA-00917: missing comma'
Now I change the statement to 'insert into TEST_TABLE (BIRTHDATE) values ('31.01.2002')' everything works fine.
It seems that the meta information are not correct! Does anybody have a hint?
Thanks
Kind regards

Just a guess...
The Oracle comm processes (net8 or whatever it is called) allows for different protocols to communicate. Your server is set up for a different protocol than the old one was. Either the client or the server needs to adjust.
You can test this by creating a TSN and using sqlplus to connect. Once it works open up the TSN file (*.ora?) and get the correct params from there.

RSRV - Database Information about InfoProvider Tables

Hello Experts,
I have a question regarding the RSRV. I have run the check "Database Information about InfoProvider Tables " to see number of entries of the dimension tables for a cube. Afterwards I checked directly the dimension table /BIC/D* with the TC SE16. And the number of entries differs. In the RSRV I get around 26 MIO entries, but in the dimension table I get around 25 MIO entries.
Can anybody explain me this ? For my understanding the RSRV result for the dimension table and the number of entries (SE16) should match.
Thx in advance.

Need information about Internal Tables

Hi Every one!
I Need some information about Internal tables. Pls help be above the same.
Thanks & with Regards,
Chandra.

Hi..,

Internal tables 
Internal tables provide a means of taking data from a fixed structure and storing it in working memory in ABAP. The data is stored line by line in memory, and each line has the same structure. In ABAP, internal tables fulfill the function of arrays. Since they are dynamic data objects, they save the programmer the task of dynamic memory management in his or her programs. You should use internal tables whenever you want to process a dataset with a fixed structure within a program. A particularly important use for internal tables is for storing and formatting data from a database table within a program. They are also a good way of including very complicated data structures in an ABAP program.
Like all elements in the ABAP type concept, internal tables can exist both as data types and as data objects A data type is the abstract description of an internal table, either in a program or centrally in the ABAP Dictionary, that you use to create a concrete data object. The data type is also an attribute of an existing data object.
Internal Tables as Data Types
Internal tables and structures are the two structured data types in ABAP. The data type of an internal table is fully specified by its line type, key, and table type.
Line type
The line type of an internal table can be any data type. The data type of an internal table is normally a structure. Each component of the structure is a column in the internal table. However, the line type may also be elementary or another internal table.
Key
The key identifies table rows. There are two kinds of key for internal tables - the standard key and a user-defined key. You can specify whether the key should be UNIQUE or NON-UNIQUE. Internal tables with a unique key cannot contain duplicate entries. The uniqueness depends on the table access method.
If a table has a structured line type, its default key consists of all of its non-numerical columns that are not references or themselves internal tables. If a table has an elementary line type, the default key is the entire line. The default key of an internal table whose line type is an internal table, the default key is empty.
The user-defined key can contain any columns of the internal table that are not references or themselves internal tables. Internal tables with a user-defined key are called key tables. When you define the key, the sequence of the key fields is significant. You should remember this, for example, if you intend to sort the table according to the key.

Table type
The table type determines how ABAP will access individual table entries. Internal tables can be divided into three types:
Standard tables have an internal linear index. From a particular size upwards, the indexes of internal tables are administered as trees. In this case, the index administration overhead increases in logarithmic and not linear relation to the number of lines. The system can access records either by using the table index or the key. The response time for key access is proportional to the number of entries in the table. The key of a standard table is always non-unique. You cannot specify a unique key. This means that standard tables can always be filled very quickly, since the system does not have to check whether there are already existing entries.

Sorted tables are always saved sorted by the key. They also have an internal index. The system can access records either by using the table index or the key. The response time for key access is logarithmically proportional to the number of table entries, since the system uses a binary search. The key of a sorted table can be either unique or non-unique. When you define the table, you must specify whether the key is to be unique or not. Standard tables and sorted tables are known generically as index tables.

Hashed tables have no linear index. You can only access a hashed table using its key. The response time is independent of the number of table entries, and is constant, since the system access the table entries using a hash algorithm. The key of a hashed table must be unique. When you define the table, you must specify the key as UNIQUE.

Generic Internal Tables
Unlike other local data types in programs, you do not have to specify the data type of an internal table fully. Instead, you can specify a generic construction, that is, the key or key and line type of an internal table data type may remain unspecified. You can use generic internal tables to specify the types of field symbols and the interface parameters of procedures . You cannot use them to declare data objects.
Internal Tables as Dynamic Data Objects
Data objects that are defined either with the data type of an internal table, or directly as an internal table, are always fully defined in respect of their line type, key and access method. However, the number of lines is not fixed. Thus internal tables are dynamic data objects, since they can contain any number of lines of a particular type. The only restriction on the number of lines an internal table may contain are the limits of your system installation. The maximum memory that can be occupied by an internal table (including its internal administration) is 2 gigabytes. A more realistic figure is up to 500 megabytes. An additional restriction for hashed tables is that they may not contain more than 2 million entries. The line types of internal tables can be any ABAP data types - elementary, structured, or internal tables. The individual lines of an internal table are called table lines or table entries. Each component of a structured line is called a column in the internal table.

Choosing a Table Type
The table type (and particularly the access method) that you will use depends on how the typical internal table operations will be most frequently executed.

Standard tables
This is the most appropriate type if you are going to address the individual table entries using the index. Index access is the quickest possible access. You should fill a standard table by appending lines (ABAP APPEND statement), and read, modify and delete entries by specifying the index (INDEX option with the relevant ABAP command). The access time for a standard table increases in a linear relationship with the number of table entries. If you need key access, standard tables are particularly useful if you can fill and process the table in separate steps. For example, you could fill the table by appending entries, and then sort it. If you use the binary search option with key access, the response time is logarithmically proportional to the number of table entries.
Sorted tables
This is the most appropriate type if you need a table which is sorted as you fill it. You fill sorted tables using the INSERT statement. Entries are inserted according to the sort sequence defined through the table key. Any illegal entries are recognized as soon as you try to add them to the table. The response time for key access is logarithmically proportional to the number of table entries, since the system always uses a binary search. Sorted tables are particularly useful for partially sequential processing in a LOOP if you specify the beginning of the table key in the WHERE condition.

Hashed tables
This is the most appropriate type for any table where the main operation is key access. You cannot access a hashed table using its index. The response time for key access remains constant, regardless of the number of table entries. Like database tables, hashed tables always have a unique key. Hashed tables are useful if you want to construct and use an internal table which resembles a database table or for processing large amounts of data.

HOW TO GET INFORMATION ABOUT THE CLIENT MACHINE AT DATABASE LEVEL

HOW TO GET INFORMATION ABOUT THE CLIENT MACHINE AT DATABASE LEVEL USING 10g Database and 10g Application Server
we have developed an application using oracle forms 10g with
oracle database 10g and Application server 10g
Application uses a single Oracle User name to connect to database
where as at Application level there are different users (these are not database users)
Now how can we get the information about the user/his machine etc. at database level. earlier in 6i/8i we use to get by using
USERENV('TERMINAL')
we had written a triggers on tables on Insert/Update where we used to update a database field Last user terminal with USERENV('TERMINAL')
but not this information is comming to be the machine name of application server where as we wish this to be the machine name of Client. Any Way outs
thanks

hi, you can use the sys_context function, like this:
select sys_context('userenv','current_user'),
     sys_context('userenv','os_user'),
     sys_context('userenv','host'),
     sys_context('userenv','ip_address'),
     sys_context('userenv','instance'),
     sys_context('userenv','sessionid'),
     sys_context('userenv','terminal')
from dual;
Is this what you 're looking for?

Which table stores the information about a user (name, username etc.)

Which table stores the information about a user (name, username etc.) .Is it LDAP server or MSSQL server? then hw to go to that table ?

I guess this is a question about CAD - and it doesn't matter much if it's UCCE or Express. The info is in the LDAP called Directory Services. In UCCE the Sync process updates the LDAP from the ICM config database.
You can use a free LDAP browser to connect to the LDAP (anonymous connection) and read the LDAP.

Now we have a lot of views which select data from the tables, but I need to get the "Table Column Name" that is linked in the view.
If you are using SQL Server 2012/2014, then you can use
sys.dm_exec_describe_first_result_set (Transact-SQL) to gte the informations.
