DBMS_REDEFINITION in 8.1.7

Hi,
DBMS_REDEFINITION is appeared in 9.0.1. It is{ORACLE_HOME}/rdbms/admin/dbmshord.sql script. Can't we use it in 8.1.7 ? By for exemple copying dbmshord.sql script on {ORACLE_HOME}/rdbms/admin ?
Many thanks

Bad idea. It might use data dictionary which don't exists in 8i.
Furthermore the script you pointed out is only for the package declaration, not for the pakage body.

DBMS_REDEFINITION issue. ORA-12089 and ORA-42016

Hi all,
I need a little help understanding and using DBMS_REDEFINITION.
I have a table that I need to transform in a partitioned table, keeping all the indexes, constraints, primary and foreign keys unaltered. I found the DBMS_REDEFINITION and figured it is the best choice since I have to transform a table with more than 1 million records and a BLOB field. BTW I am working in a Windows 2003 R2 SP2 64bit environment on an Oracle 10.2.0.4 DB.
To test the procedure I used a smaller table, with fewer rows. This is what I did:
CREATE TABLE LONGO.ARRI_RICORSO as SELECT * from PRODUCTION.ARRI_RICORSO;
CREATE TABLE "LONGO"."ARRI_RICORSO2" ( "ARRI_ID" NUMBER(12) NOT NULL , "ARVB_ID" NUMBER(12) NOT NULL , "ARIN_ID" NUMBER(12),

Please help! :)
Thanks in advance!
P.s. I also added a primary key to both the tables. That is when I got the ORA-42016 error while attempting the exec dbms_redefinition.start_redef_table process ant not the ORA-12089 anymore...

Right idea, wrong implementation. You are passing the 'CONS_USE_ROWID' as the THIRD parameter instead of the FOURTH (col_mapping) parameter.
See the DBMS_REDEFINITION doc
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28419/d_redefi.htm#i998726
The 'OPTIONS_FLAG' is the THIRD parameter for the 'CAN_REDEF_TABLE' procedure
>
CAN_REDEF_TABLE Procedure
This procedure determines if a given table can be redefined online. This is the first step of the online redefinition process. If the table is not a candidate for online redefinition, an error message is raised.
Syntax
DBMS_REDEFINITION.CAN_REDEF_TABLE (
uname IN VARCHAR2,
tname IN VARCHAR2,
options_flag IN PLS_INTEGER := 1,
part_name IN VARCHAR2 := NULL);
>
But the 'OPTIONS_FLAG' is the FOURTH parameter for the 'START_REDEF_TABLE' procedure
>
START_REDEF_TABLE Procedure
Prior to calling this procedure, you must manually create an empty interim table (in the same schema as the table to be redefined) with the desired attributes of the post-redefinition table, and then call this procedure to initiate the redefinition.
Syntax
DBMS_REDEFINITION.START_REDEF_TABLE (
uname IN VARCHAR2,
orig_table IN VARCHAR2,
int_table IN VARCHAR2,
col_mapping IN VARCHAR2 := NULL,
options_flag IN BINARY_INTEGER := 1,
orderby_cols IN VARCHAR2 := NULL,
part_name IN VARCHAR2 := NULL);

This works for me:
exec dbms_redefinition.start_redef_table('SCOTT', 'ARRI_RICORSO', 'ARRI_RICORSO2', options_flag => dbms_redefinition.cons_use_rowid);

You can, yes. That's why CAN_REDEF_TABLE and START_REDEF_TABLE both have an OPTIONS_FLAG argument that lets you specify whether you want to use the primary key or the ROWID to redefine the table.

Move index to a different tablespace using dbms_redefinition?

Hi all, I am trying to move indexes to new tablespaces. Can I use oracle built-in package DBMS_REDEFINITION for this? As far as I know dbms_redefinitoin only works for tables rebuilt online? I am running 10.2.0.5 on linux red hat, and the index sizes from 100MB to 10gb. Thank you in advance all.

Since one can seamlessly move an index from one tablespace to another by simply doing:
SQL> alter index <index_name> rebuild tablespace <tablespace_name>;even considering DBMS_REDEFINITION for this makes no sense at all.
If your boss has any further questions, show him the Oracle documentation:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_redefi.htm
Quote from that page:
"The DBMS_REDEFINITION package provides an interface to perform an *online redefinition of tables*."
(Emphasis added by me.)
Hope that helps,

Use of DBMS_REDEFINITION Package with Goldengate

All,
I am currently using OGG 11.2.1.0.4 in an active-passive configuration and have an opportunity where I need to re-partition a table due to performance reasons. Given my up-time requirements, using the DBMS_REDEFINITION package seems to be a really good option. I am concerned as to how this would work with Goldengate. I do not currently use DDL replication with this extract/pump/replicat, but would this be the way to use this package and do the REDEFINITION simultaneously on both sides? Is there a better way?
I haven't found anything online pertaining to the use of this package and Goldengate so I am hoping this forum can help out.
Thanks!

From the 11.2 admin guide:
Create an empty interim table (in the same schema as the table to be redefined) with all of the desired logical and physical attributes. If columns are to be dropped, do not include them in the definition of the interim table. If a column is to be added, then add the column definition to the interim table. If a column is to be modified, create it in the interim table with the properties that you want.The table being redefined remains available for queries and DML during the entire process.
Execute the FINISH_REDEF_TABLE procedure to complete the redefinition of the table. During this procedure, the original table is locked in exclusive mode for a very short time, independent of the amount of data in the original table. However, FINISH_REDEF_TABLE will wait for all pending DML to commit before completing the redefinition.>
If you did not want to create an interim table, then this approach is not going to work for you. There is no requirement for you to create anything other than the interim table, and any dependent objects can be done automatically, including materialized views. Where did you see that you have to create mview logs?

Error with dbms_redefinition package?

Hi everybody!
I have a table ‘object_log’(it is partioned) .
I used dbms_redefinition to change its partion , and evrythink was ok.
When I tried to redefine this table for the second time it failed!
I run this script
BEGIN
DBMS_REDEFINITION.start_redef_table(
uname => 'TL_ETL',
orig_table => 'OBJECT_LOG',
int_table => 'OBJECT_LOG2');
END;
This is the error:

Can you help me how to hide or remove the "CONSTRAINT "SYS_C005605"" etc section showing in ddl for the table?The reason being if take this ddl definition and load in another database where it can give error in case same named constraint already exist.
Many thanks

Create your NOT NULL check constraints using ALTER TABLE and name them as you would a primary or foreign key ... with a name that makes sense.
I personally have a strong dislike for system generated naming and would be thrilled if this lazy practice of defining columns as NOT NULL during table creation went away.

DBMS_REDEFINITION problem!!

Hi,
We are trying to sub partition(on id field) a already partitioned(on date field) table having 1.8Billions (255GB approax) of records.
We are using DBMS_Redefinition package to do so. Initially, it was failed due to the shortage of space in temp (we increased the size to 320GB). After doing so, the temp space exhaust problem was eliminated.
Now we are facing the following problem:-
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12008: error in materialized view refresh path
ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 65560 bytes
(klcliti:kghds,kdblc memory)
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_REDEFINITION", line 52
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_REDEFINITION", line 1646
ORA-06512: at line 2
We have increased the memory target to 31G. but no gain.
We have the following ulimit settings:-
!ulimit -a
core file size (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority (-e) 0
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals (-i) 299007
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 32
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files (-n) 65536
pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8
POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200
real-time priority (-r) 0
stack size (kbytes, -s) 32768
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) 16384
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited
file locks (-x) unlimited
What needs to be done to redefine the table .
Is there any other method which does the same things quickly.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Amit

Hi
You may try to set the workarea_size_policy=MANUAL and then set sort_area_size and hash_area_size to a nice size at session level and do the dbms_redefinition
Alter session set workarea_size_policy=MANUAL;
Alter session set sort_area_size=209715200;
Alter session set hash_area_size=209715200;
Do dbms_redefinition...now
Remember. Untunable part of PGA can make a process exceed the max threshold of a PGA per process limit and go all the way to blow up the physical RAM causing ORA-4030.

DBMS_REDEFINITION dependent objects issue , please help.....

Hello Guru's,
Today I have tried with DBMS_REDEFINITION package, I'm successfully partitioning the existing table, but there are some dependent objects are missing after completing the redefinition package.
Im Using 11g R2.
Please assist me , in which stage it went wrong, Actually my table is have around 12 dependent procedures, functions, Synonyms how ever, after completing the redefinition when i query the all_dependancies I m getting only 9 objects with correct status.
Please suggest me that what happened to remaining 3 dependent objects. Its a bit urgent.
Steps I followed:
1.Created a bkp table of same as existing table A.
2.EXEC Dbms_Redefinition.Can_Redef_Table(USER, 'A'); ---No errors got.
3.DBMS_REDEFINITION.start_redef_table(uname      => USER, orig_table => 'A',int_table => 'A_BKP'); ----No errors
4. dbms_redefinition.sync_interim_table(
    uname      => USER,
    orig_table => 'A',
    int_table => 'A_BKP'); ----No errors got.
5.Manually Added constraints on A_BKP what ever constraints on A .--- No errors
6. Manually Added Indexes on A_BKP what ever indexs are there on A columns ----No errors
7.EXEC DBMS_STATS.gather_table_stats(USER, 'A_BKP', cascade => TRUE); ---No errors
8.dbms_redefinition.finish_redef_table(
    uname      => USER,
    orig_table => 'A',
    int_table => 'A_BKP'); ----No errors
9. Manually Droped A_BKP table
10. Manually Renamed all constraints and Indexex to the original names -----No errors
11. Queried Select count(*) from A;
Then I queried in all_dependencies, now there is mis match between before partitioned table dependencies and after ,
Please tell me whats wrong with this steps , its a bit urgent, any fruther steps to be taken ?

No I have checked that missing objects there are present in the DB and when i query in All_dependancies with that referenced name, it will giving less rows than original

Partitioning an Existing Table using DBMS_REDEFINITION with no primary key?

HI,
Is it possible to partiiton a table with dbms_redefination if the table contains no primary key?
DB version 10.2
Thank you All..

Yes, of course, but you'll have to use rowID with "CONS_USE_ROWID" : http://68.142.116.68/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_redefi.htm#CBBFDJBC
This will be longer but it is possible.

Dbms_redefinition package and COMPRESS attribute of the target table

Hi experts,
we have an already partitioned and compressed table under Oracle 10g R2 wich we want to move to another tablespace using online redefinition.
The table should keep the Partitions and compressed data after the move.
My question is: How much storage we must have in place for the move of the table ?
Example:
tab (compressed size) : 1000 MB
tab (uncompressed size) : 4000 MB
Seems it depends on how redefinition handles the move of the compressed data.
So if redefinition uses INSERT /* APPEND */ .... is should be roundabout 1000 MB ("compress during write")
Is this assumption correct ?
Can anybody shed some light on redefinition wich kind of compression-conserving stragetgy it uses ?
bye

From the 11.2 admin guide:
Create an empty interim table (in the same schema as the table to be redefined) with all of the desired logical and physical attributes. If columns are to be dropped, do not include them in the definition of the interim table. If a column is to be added, then add the column definition to the interim table. If a column is to be modified, create it in the interim table with the properties that you want.The table being redefined remains available for queries and DML during the entire process.
Execute the FINISH_REDEF_TABLE procedure to complete the redefinition of the table. During this procedure, the original table is locked in exclusive mode for a very short time, independent of the amount of data in the original table. However, FINISH_REDEF_TABLE will wait for all pending DML to commit before completing the redefinition.>
If you did not want to create an interim table, then this approach is not going to work for you. There is no requirement for you to create anything other than the interim table, and any dependent objects can be done automatically, including materialized views. Where did you see that you have to create mview logs?

Negative effects by using DBMS_REDEFINITION package

Hello everybody,
I am looking for all 'bad' side effects of using the package.
I am in project where the definition of tables changes.
Sometimes a column needs to be placed in the middle of the table.
Up to now there are scripts which doing a lot of drops of columns, updates, add adds again.
My idea was to use the package, which I could test successfully.
Now I learned, that the grants to the table are lost.
What else should be concerned by using the package?
Thanks

Hi,
Sometimes a column needs to be placed in the middle of the table.hmm and why do you need some redefinition/reorg for the table - just put the columns on the right place in the select statement?
Now I learned, that the grants to the table are lost.hmm not "really"... have a look at the procedure "COPY_TABLE_DEPENDENTS".
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_redefi.htm#sthref5656
-> This subprogram is used to clone the dependent objects like grants, triggers, constraints and privileges from the table being redefined to the interim table (which represents the post-redefinition table).
Side effects:
You need to create/rebuild the indexes.. because of the rowids change.
Btw. your scenario seems a little bit "strange" to me...

Stefan
