Dba_jobs_running dictionary view

i'm trying to query the dba_jobs_running dictionary view from PL/SQL procedure and am getting
Table or view does not exists Error at compile Time.
I also tried the same using Execute Immediate and am getting the same error
Table or view does not exists Error at run Time.
Also when I query the same dba_jobs_running from SQL*Plus
i am getting the required output.
The Oracle Version i'm using is 9.2.0.1.0
I tried all the above steps in Oracle version 8.1.5.0.0
and am not getting the above errors
Table or view does not exists(inside PL/SQL Procedure)
Pls can any one help me on the same.

Try SYS.dba_jobs, maybe there isn't a public synonym for that view.

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,
SQL> show parameter spfile
NAME TYPE

spfile string

H2 devide implicit and explicit created indexes by dictionary views?

For migrating amounts of data it is useful to drop and recreate indexes and referencing constaints. A implicit created index by defining a primary/unique key constraint will be dropped implicitly by dropping the before mentioned constraint. Creating such a constraint after creating an equivalent index with the constraint name will result in an other behaviour. The explicit created index will not be dropped by dropping the referencing primary/unique key constraint.
So far so good and well known. The question is: Which dictionary view columns will show me the difference between implicit and explict created indexes if I try to dynamically drop and recreate indexes and unique / primary key constraints?

Oracle Version is always helpful in answering questions, but for 9i you can find the system generated by:
dba_indexes.generated = 'Y'
or
'SYS_' naming convention for system generated indexes
or
dba_constraints.constraint_name = dba_constraints.index_name

Linking two fields in a dictionary view to the same field

My DBA asked me if I knew how to do this without resorting to ABAP code, and I said I'd ask you guys over here.
A customer wants a view on several tables. Vendor name from LFA1 is one of the
columns in the view.
He has two other columns in the view which can hold two different vendor numbers at the same time.
He wants the view to automatically bring in the names from LFA1 from both of them.
My DBA knows how to do this directly in DB2, of course, but can it be done in native SAP dictionary ???
Reason he's asking is because he suspects the customer wants to use the view directly in SQLQuery, where there's no chance for an ABAP code intercept.
Or is there? Are there ABAP exits in dictionary views? Or in SQLQueries?

Hi
We can straight away write a select statement to a database view similar to a TABLE in ABAP
see the sample views VIAUFKS and VIAUF_AFVC
and see the select statement below for this view
CLEAR: i_ord.
REFRESH: i_ord.
SELECT aufnr            " PM Order No
         equnr            " Equipment Number
         tplnr            " Functional Location

Oracle dictionary view 2 find the queries run and it's execution time

Hi All,
I s there any oracle dictionary view which captures the queries being run by users on the database and time taken to execute those queries?
We need to find out the OS user not the database user since we have to identify the users who are executing long running queries.
We require this basically to monitor the long running queries on the database.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
welcome to the forum!
Oracle doesn't store information about individual executions of SQL queries (that would've been too expensive), but you can find cumulative query execution stats in V$SQL. If you are interested in queries by a specific OS user, then Active Session History can help you (provided you have the Diagnostic Pack License).
Best regards,
Nikolay

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.

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?

Create custom dictionary viewer

Hello there!
I've got a digital version of a very old but very good German-Latin dictionary (maybe German users know Digitale Bibliothek), however the GUI which I have to wrap in wine is absolutely not KISS and it doesn't fit into my workflow in a tiling wm. I just discovered that I can export the whole dictionary into different formats notably XHTML, which should make it possible to create a more user friendly interface.
The situation is as follows:
A file which contains all the German and latin lemmata alphabetically sorted (Latin and German mixed); sample:
abhinc#A139
abhold#C60768
abholen#C60769
Abholen#D60769
abholzen#C60770
abhorchen#C60771

<div class="db5PageBreak"> </div>
 
<a id="p0000142" />ab-horrēsco, ere, einen Abscheu bekommen, Eccl. u. Gloss.
<div class="db5PageBreak"> </div>
Note how the id of the anchor tags correspond to the lemmata (the uppercase letter after the # may be ignored, it indicates the language or section of the lemma in the original binary file).
In a quick-n-dirty approach I hacked a bash script (I am a bloody beginner) making use of dmenu and lynx:
#!/bin/bash
# display dmenu with all the lemmata, strip the id's (lemmatas in the file "data/lemmata")
lemma="$(cat data/lemmata | sed -e 's/#[A-Z][0-9]*$//g' | dmenu)"
# search for the selected lemmata to get the whole string with the id
str="$(grep "^${lemma}[ .0-9()]*#[A-Z][0-9]*$" "data/lemmata")"
id="${str#*\#[A-Z]}"
# finally take the definition from the xml and pipe output to lynx
awk "/<a id=\"p0*${id}\" \/>/,/<div class=\"db5PageBreak\">/{if (!/<div class=\"db5PageBreak\">/)print}" < data/dictionary.xml | lynx -stdin
The script fires up dmenu which displays all the lemmata with all the identifiers (#<number>) stripped, then it searches the selected lemma in the lemmata file again to find the identifier and finally then the corresponding paragraph(s) is (are) taken and piped to lynx. (Using the tee program I could bind the script to a keybinding and open/close a terminal window displaying lynx)
However this is not robust - there are identical Latin and German lemmata:
ab#B43
ab#C60601
So the approach above must fail because I don't pipe the identifiers to dmenu. I could alter the list which gets piped to dmenu to
ab [de]
ab [lat]
and could then get back to the identifier...
But the longterm goal would be a more suitable custom console interface: I am thinking of
a terminal window which is divided into two parts, the left showing the lemmata, the right showing the definition of the lemma currently selected (think of something like a console music player, e.g. moc)
possibility of an on the fly dmenu-like search of the lemmata while typing
for the viewer part: automatical wrapping of the lines, colored text for and tags, stripping of the HTML, scrolling (a lemma definition/translation may be very long) and display of UTF-8
I tend to hack this in C as I lack the knowledge of any other language (as an emacs user I also thought of using emacs and displaying the definitions in w3m but I don't know any lisp other then setting variables...).
So my questions are:
Is this doable? If yes, which libraries should I consider? (ncurses, libhtml....)
Does anyone know a program which does something similar?
So far this would be my first program which makes use of menues, so any suggestions are very welcome! Any other ideas how to access lemmata and their definitions in a simple manner?

As you may have seen from the lack of replies, this is a bit hard to advise on. Things that occur to me:
Rather than a library, you could use regular expressions for parsing, as you already did with awk. They are available in C via POSIX functions, see the regex (3) manual page.
If all input you need is a decision between a small number of duplicate words, curses seems overkill. Why not print all of them? If you want more interaction, using curses is probably the right thing.
Personally I would probably use Perl for this task, which is the most productive programming language I know and is especially suited for text processing. Seeing the rather advanced shell script you wrote (definitely more than beginner level), you may like it, as it was inspired by the shell scripts using sed, awk and the like.

Data dictionary views

Hi,
What are the the views in the data dictionary that store the user packages (spec, body, function list and parameters etc) ?
TIA.

You could always DESCRIBE (or DESC) the package, function, or procedure to get the overview
SQL> desc pkg_test
PROCEDURE READ_FILE
PROCEDURE WRITE_FILE
Argument Name Type In/Out Default?
P_PKG VARCHAR2 IN

Optimizing query against Dictionary views

I have some tables which contain varray of objects. I need a quick way to get a list of the attributes of each of those objects, and the data types they are.
I came up with this query. It runs in 16 seconds in my database for a table with 2 varrays, each of an object with 2 attributes (4 rows returned). In the PL/SQL program needing this info, I have implemented a 3 cursors manual nested loop version of this that runs in sub-second.
Just curious for curiosity's sake if anybody had any tips on how to speed the single query version?
select
dtc.owner table_owner
,dtc.table_name table_name
,dtc.column_name column_name
,dtc.data_type varray_type
,dct.elem_type_owner varray_element_owner
,dct.elem_type_name varray_element_type
,dct.upper_bound max_element_count
,dta.attr_name attribute_name
,dta.attr_type_name
from all_tab_columns dtc
,all_coll_types dct
,all_type_attrs dta
where dtc.owner = :OWNER
and dtc.table_name = :TABLE_NAME
and dtc.data_type_owner is not null
and dtc.data_type_owner = dct.owner
and dtc.data_type = dct.type_name
and dct.elem_type_owner = dta.owner
and dct.elem_type_name = dta.type_name;

1. You can check if your current optimizer setting affects this query: Just set for your particular session the "optimizer_features_enable" back to the default "10.2.0.4" using ALTER SESSION or use the "OPTIMIZER_FEATURES_ENABLE('10.2.0.4')" hint (undocumented, so better use the ALTER SESSION command) as part of your statement to check if the execution is any different.
2. Are you aware of any other optimizer related parameters that are set to non-default values?
3. Can you check in the DBA_SCHEDULER_JOBS view if the GATHER_STATS_JOB is ENABLED and the LAST_START_DATE of the job?
4. Sometimes you can help the optimizer by providing more information, although in this case it's a bit inaccurate, because the TYPE owner might of course be different from the table owner:
select
dtc.owner table_owner
,dtc.table_name table_name
,dtc.column_name column_name
,dtc.data_type varray_type
,dct.elem_type_owner varray_element_owner
,dct.elem_type_name varray_element_type
,dct.upper_bound max_element_count
,dta.attr_name attribute_name
,dta.attr_type_name
from all_tab_columns dtc
,all_coll_types dct
,all_type_attrs dta
where dtc.owner = :OWNER
and dtc.table_name = :TABLE_NAME
and dtc.data_type_owner is not null
and dtc.data_type_owner = dct.owner
and dct.owner = :OWNER
and dtc.data_type = dct.type_name
and dct.elem_type_owner = dta.owner
and dta.owner = :OWNER
and dct.elem_type_name = dta.type_name;As already mentioned, this is only applicable if the owner is the same for all the objects. You could also try to omit the join on the owner and use only the bind variables as shown.
5. Can you post your "tuning" attempt? I assume you tried to use the WITH-clause and the (undocumented) MATERIALIZE hint to materialize a part of the query?
6. Are you aware of any unusual high number of dictionary objects in your database, e.g. thousands of tables, types, synonyms etc. that might lead to partially large SYS base tables, like SYS.OBJ$?

I wonder, which privilege is missing here:
my schema has this roles and privs:
GRANT CONNECT, RESOURCE TO cb ;
GRANT CREATE SESSION TO cb ;
GRANT SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE TO cb ;
GRANT CREATE SYNONYM TO CB;
GRANT CREATE VIEW TO CB;
I create a procedure:
create or replace procedure dd_test as

     for r in (select table_name from sys.dba_tab_partitions     where owner = 'CB') loop

     end loop;
end;

When I run the core statement form sql prompt, it works !
so what privilege is missing here ???

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.

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%';

Granting SELECT on dictionary views ... (?)

Hi there,
please try to find out, what I am doing wrong below:
1. I connect as sys:
connect sys as sysdba
2. Create a role. Just to point out the problem, it will have just CREATE SESSION, CREATE PROCEDURE
create role tr not identified;
grant create session to tr;
grant create procedure to tr;
3. Now the problem: I want the role (users with that role) to have SELECT privilege, just on one dict-view, that is v$session:
My first attempt is denied:
grant select on v$session to tr;
grant select on v$session to tr
FEHLER in Zeile 1:
ORA-02030: can only select from fixed tables/views
Now this in itself is wierd. I read v$-objects are synonyms to v_$-objects. Is that right? What is the problem here? See, what happens next...
4. grant select on v_$session to tr;
That works!
5. create user tu identified by tu;
grant tr to tu;
That works!
6. Now connect as tu/tu
sql*plus Test: select count(*) from v$session;
COUNT(*)
46
works!
7. Now: create a simple stored function to perform the same as my query:
create or replace function testf
return number
is
res number;
begin
select count(*) into res from v$session;
return res;
end;
This is refused with ORA-00942: Table or view does not exist !!!
Simple query on v$session works, but its usage inside a stored function is not allowed??? Please explain!!!
Pointing out to the explanation in the documentation (just one link) would suffice. I just have not found an explanation for this behaviour!
Many thanks in advance!

Ok, It seems this GRANT, even though it is an object privilege it is handled like of those privileges, which can be granted only directly to a user and not to a role;
But on the other hand, the reaction is not the system:
When you try to grant UNLIMITED tablespace to a role you get a definitive error message: ORA-01931.
You don't get this error when granting SELECT on V_$SESSION to a role...
It's getting more and more wierd...
(Does anyone know a complete list of privs which can only be granted directly to a user? I thought it's only UNLIMITED TABLESPACE)
