DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL help needed

Hello,
I am using ORACLE 10G,
the result of this query
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TABLE', 'PMSSECURITY2') FROM DUAL
Returned the below output
CREATE TABLE "ASSETS"."PMSSECURITY2"
( "COMP_CODE" NUMBER(4,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"BRANCH" NUMBER(4,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"CODE1" NUMBER(8,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
"CODE2" NUMBER(8,0) NOT NULL ENABLE
PRIMARY KEY ("COMP_CODE", "BRANCH", "CODE1", "CODE2")
FOREIGN KEY ("COMP_CODE", "QUALITY")
REFERENCES "ASSETS"."PMSQUALITY" ("COMP_CODE", "CODE") ENABLE,
FOREIGN KEY ("COMP_CODE", "BRANCH", "CODE1", "CODE2")
REFERENCES "ASSETS"."PMSSECURITY" ("COMP_CODE", "BRANCH", "CODE1", "CODE2") ENABLE
is there any way to have the same output without the FOREIGN KEY references,
Knowing that i used the below to get rid of PCTFREE and the storage...
dbms_metadata.set_transform_param(dbms_metadata.session_transform,'STORAGE',false);
dbms_metadata.set_transform_param(dbms_metadata.session_transform,'TABLESPACE',false);
dbms_metadata.set_transform_param(dbms_metadata.session_transform,'SEGMENT_ATTRIBUTES', false);

Add these as well
dbms_metadata.set_transform_param(dbms_metadata.session_transform,'REF_CONSTRAINTS', false);
dbms_metadata.set_transform_param(dbms_metadata.session_transform,'CONSTRAINTS', false);http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_metada.htm#ARPLS640

DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL performance

Hi
My application need to run on a schema and get all the DDL of the schema objects.
This action is very heavy on the server and I get 100% on the server CPU.
my code look something like this:
SELECT
D.OBJECT_NAME,
D.OBJECT_TYPE,
TRIM(SYS.DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL(REPLACE(REPLACE(OBJECT_TYPE,'DATABASE LINK','DB_LINK'),' ','_'),OBJECT_NAME,USER)) AS OBJECTCREATIONSCRIPT
FROM SYS.USER_OBJECTS D
INNER JOIN TEMPOBJECTSLIST OL
ON OL.DBOBJECT_NAME = D.OBJECT_NAME
AND OL.DBOBJECT_TYPE = D.OBJECT_TYPE
WHERE OBJECT_TYPE IN('TABLE', 'VIEW', 'FUNCTION', 'PROCEDURE', 'PACKAGE', 'PACKAGE BODY', 'SEQUENCE', 'TYPE', 'SYNONYM', 'MATERIALIZED VIEW', 'DATABASE LINK', 'TYPE BODY', 'TRIGGER')
Is ther any way to do this faster?
I was thinking on some ways but I do not know how to implement them:
1. working on paralel CPU - The action acording to Enterprise Manager is taking 100% of 1 of 4 CPUs.
2. Add some indexes or run statistics on some where in the database.
3. some other options...
thanks

Thanks, But I can't use an incremental table for this action becouse of some business logical restrictions of my application.
the application need to do the same action as GET_DDL for all the schema objects like one schema snapshot.
I have a new idea of solving this issue, perhaps someone could help me who to implement it (if it possible):
DMBS_METATDATA package has a procedure GET_XML this procedure is match faster than GET_DDL.
Is ther any way to convert the XML result of GET_XML to a DDL script?

DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL inside the pl/sql procedure

We have a requirement to drop certain materialized view and need to recreate based on certain condition inside the
pl/sql procedure.i am using the dbms_metadata to get the Mv ddls.
var1 := 'SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('MATERIALIZED_VIEW,'MV_NAME','OWNER')'|| 'from dual' || ';' ;
dbms_output.put_line(var1);
But i am unable to get the create ddl syntax in var1.
Can anyone help me on this

Hi Deepu,
you are not helping us too much. You information are coming drop by drop.
Anyway, I don't have a materialized view but I have tried with a table.

Spool Command with dbms_metadata.GET_DDL function

Hi All,
My requirement is before applying a patch on the Database Schema, I need to take a backup of the db objects DDL script, so that incase if I want to rollback I can use it. what I am trying to use is the dbms_metadata.GET_DDL function to get the DDL script and with the help of spool command store that in a text file.
The problem I am encountering is the whole script runs without an error but whne I check the spool file for certain big packages the DDL script is not fully exported. The below is the script that I make use of to generate the DDL script.

Error while using DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL package.

Hi all,
I want script of DDL of all tables in Database not in particular schema,
As I am using below query
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TABLE',u.table_name)
FROM ALL_TABLES u
WHERE u.nested='NO'
AND (u.iot_type is null or u.iot_type='IOT')
but it gives error as below.
ORA-31603: object "ICOL$" of type TABLE not found in schema "SCOTT"
It should give DDL of all tables, also I am not having DBA Privs.
Please help me.
Thanks & Regards
Rajiv.

It could be helpful if you have a look into [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_metada.htm#i1016867]documentation.
Security Model
The object views of the Oracle metadata model implement security as follows:
Nonprivileged users can see the metadata of only their own objects.
SYS and users with SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE can see all objects.
Nonprivileged users can also retrieve public synonyms, system privileges granted to them, and object privileges granted to them or by them to others. This also includes privileges granted to PUBLIC.
If callers request objects they are not privileged to retrieve, no exception is raised; the object is simply not retrieved.
If nonprivileged users are granted some form of access to an object in someone else's schema, they will be able to retrieve the grant specification through the Metadata API, but not the object's actual metadata.
In stored procedures, functions, and definers-rights packages, roles (such as SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE) are disabled. Therefore, such a PL/SQL program can only fetch metadata for objects in its own schema. If you want to write a PL/SQL program that fetches metadata for objects in a different schema (based on the invoker's possession of SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE), you must make the program invokers-rights.
Best regards

Stange error when using dbms_metadata.get_ddl in PL/SQL procedure

Basic info:
Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 on linux.
I'm trying to extract ddl of indexes that I drop and recreate frequently during monthly loads and store it in a table.
This statement works on the command line:
insert into saved_indexes
select index_name,dbms_metadata.get_ddl('INDEX',index_name,owner_name)
from sys.all_indexes
where owner = owner_name
and table_name = table_name;
commit;
The table 'saved_indexes' is a two column table with a varchar2(40) and a CLOB.
When I use the following procedure, I get 'ORA-04044 procedure, function, package, or type is not allowed here -4044' every time.
PROCEDURE SAVE_INDEXES (v_table IN VARCHAR2, v_owner IN VARCHAR2) IS
v_errorcode number(8);
v_errortext varchar2(1000);
v_start_time date;
BEGIN
insert into saved_indexes
select index_name,dbms_metadata.get_ddl('INDEX',index_name,v_owner)
from sys.all_indexes
where owner = v_owner
and table_name = v_table;
commit;
EXCEPTION
WHEN others THEN
v_errorcode := sqlcode;
v_errortext := substr(sqlerrm, 1, 1000);
dbms_output.put_line(v_errortext || ' ' || v_errorcode);
END;
Alternatively I have tried it this way:
PROCEDURE SAVE_INDEXES (v_table IN VARCHAR2, v_owner IN VARCHAR2 ) IS
v_errorcode number(8);
v_errortext varchar2(1000);
v_index_ddl CLOB;
BEGIN
for x in (select index_name
from sys.all_indexes
where owner = v_owner
and table_name = v_table)
loop
select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('INDEX',x.index_name,v_owner) into v_index_ddl from dual;
insert into saved_indexes
values(v_table,v_index_ddl);
end loop;
commit;
EXCEPTION
WHEN others THEN
v_errorcode := sqlcode;
v_errortext := substr(sqlerrm, 1, 1000);
dbms_output.put_line(v_errortext || ' ' || v_errorcode);
END;
Always with the same result. I have poured over the documentation on this and have not found anything. All objects are in the same schema, so there is not an issues with invokers rights, or privileges.
Any suggestions would be helpful...

Dbms_metadata.get_ddl returns unusable create index statement

Hello everybody,
I'm trying to write a procdeure that automatically deletes all duplicate record and rebuild all table indexes after an sqlldr load with direct path.
In short the procdeure indentifies the indexes, read them using dbms_metadata.get_ddl('INDEX', 'IDX_UNIQUE_TEST') drops them, deletes the duplicated records and then recreates the indexes.
However after the sqlldr, get_ddl function returns the following result:
CREATE UNIQUE INDEX "MYUSER"."IDX_UNIQUE_TEST" ON "EDWH"."FOREX_ORD_PRC_INTRADAY" "C_ORD_TYP", "C_ORD", "D_INI_VAL", "C_PRC_TYP")
PCTFREE 10 INITRANS 2 MAXTRANS 255 COMPUTE STATISTICS
STORAGE(INITIAL 131072 NEXT 131072 MINEXTENTS 1 MAXEXTENTS 2147483645
PCTINCREASE 0 FREELISTS 1 FREELIST GROUPS 1 BUFFER_POOL DEFAULT)
TABLESPACE "MYTABLESPACE"
ALTER INDEX "MYUSER"."IDX_UNIQUE_TEST" UNUSABLE
As you can see there is an ALTER INDEX at the end that makes the whole statement invalid.
Has anyone already seen that? I've tried to google it but with no chance. Help with this would really be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
Ross

Mmh, yes it is unusable before the get_ddl, but how comes it returns both the create index and the alter index unusable statements?
I've tried to make the index unusable with the alter index ... unusable statement but get_ddl still returned the create index only.
I'm guessing that production server (10.2.0.4.0) is behaving differently from test machine (9.2.0.4.0). Any idea on that?

Dbms_metadata.get_ddl output format is not runable.

Hi,
I am using dbms_metadata.get_ddl to extract the objects. But the output returned is not runable.
In output lines are broken so it makes unable to run that code.
Ex. If I run this for all the synonyms like this.
set pagesize 0
set long 90000
set feedback off
set echo off
spool /tmp/FixSyn.out
select
DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('SYNONYM',u.object_name,'ADMINSRV_D1')
from
dba_objects u
where
object_type = 'SYNONYM' and owner= 'ADMINSRV_D1';
spool off;
Output from this is coming like this.
CREATE OR REPLACE SYNONYM "ADMINSRV_D1"."ASSTATEAPPORVALTYPE222" FOR "ADMINSRV
_D1"."ASSTATEAPPORVALTYPE";
CREATE OR REPLACE SYNONYM "ABC"."ASSTATEAPPORVALTYPE3" FOR "ADMINSRV_D
1"."ASSTATEAPPORVALTYPE";
This is broken in multiple lines so not possible to run this.
Please provide any solution to fix this output.
Thanks a lot,
Amit.

How about using word_wrapped
set pagesize 0
set long 90000
set lines 131
column txt format a121 word_wrapped
set feedback off
set echo off
spool /tmp/FixSyn.out
select
DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('SYNONYM',u.object_name,'ADMINSRV_D1') txt
from
dba_objects u
where
object_type = 'SYNONYM' and owner= 'ADMINSRV_D1';
spool off;

Error when running dbms_metadata.get_ddl on different as logged in schema

Hi ,
I am running 10gR2 and trying to export views from different schema as logged in by using dbms_metadata.get_ddl.
Now I logged as user 'USER_01' and run query like :
SELECT dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE','MY_TABLE', 'USER_01') FROM DUAL;
I get the my_table definition,
but if I stay logged in as USER_01 and try to get table definitions for YOUR_TABLE from schema USER_02 like
SELECT dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE','YOUR_TABLE', 'USER_02') FROM DUAL;
-> I do get following error message:
ORA-31603: object "YOUR_TABLE" of type TABLE not found in schema "USER_02"
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 105
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 2805

Do I need additional GRANTS on USER_02?

Hi,
I would like to create a temporary table from a partitioned table using CTAS. I plan to use the following steps in a PL/SQL procedure:
1. Use dbms_metadata.get_ddl to get the script
2. Use raplace function to change the tablename to temptable
3. execute the script to get the temp table created.
SQL> create or replace procedure p1 as
2 l_clob clob;
3 str long;
4 begin
5 SELECT dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE', 'FACT_TABLE','USER1') into l_clob FROM DUAL;
6 dbms_output.put_line('CLOB Length:'||dbms_lob.getlength(l_clob));
7 str:=dbms_lob.substr(l_clob,dbms_lob.getlength(l_clob),1);
8 dbms_output.put_line('DDL:'||str);
9 end;
12 /
Procedure created.
SQL> exec p1;
CLOB Length:73376
DDL:
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
I cannot see the DDL at all. Please help.

Thanks Adam. The following piece of code is supposed to do that. But, its failing because the dbms_lob.substr(l_clob,4000,4000*v_intIdx +1); is putting newline and therefore dbms_sql.parse
is failing.
Please advice.
create table my_metadata(stmt_no number, ddl_stmt clob);
CREATE OR REPLACE package USER1.genTempTable is
procedure getDDL;
procedure createTempTab;
end;

dbms_lob does not have any replace function; the following function is a trick to do that
procedure lob_replace( p_lob in out clob, p_what in varchar2, p_with in varchar2 )as
n number;

n := dbms_lob.instr( p_lob, p_what );

then

p_lob,
dbms_lob.getlength(p_lob),
n+length(p_with),
n+length(p_what) );
dbms_lob.write( p_lob, length(p_with), n, p_with );
if ( length(p_what) > length(p_with) )
then
dbms_lob.trim( p_lob,
dbms_lob.getlength(p_lob)-(length(p_what)-length(p_with)) );
end if;
end if;

Hi,
There was a bug #2736436 in 9.2.0.1 and 9.2.0.5 :
If a constraint is against a partitioned table then DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL returns ORA-31605 and LPX-410 when attempting to get the DDL of the constraint.
Seems to be solve in 9.2.0.6 patchset.
Hmm, it seems that you're already in 9.2.0.6...

Furthermore, it seems that you'll need to set long to bigger for more well output.
