Deleting all Records in a Table

I have an table that is populated as users login and move through an application so I can tell what they are doing as well as who is logged in. Once and a while I would like to empty this table of all records once I have exported the audit data. I would like to do this from the same page that I have based a tabular form on. Can any suggest the easiest way to achieve this?
Could the following SQL be used somewhere to do the job?
delete CREATE_BY, CREATE_ON, ACTION, SUBJECT from AUDIT;
Kind Regards,
Steve

Hi,
Even with TRUNCATE (which is what I use to do this sort of thing), you have to bear in mind what happens to indexes on the table (and, I'm assuming that there will be sizable indexes involved) and the time it takes to clear these out on top of clearing out the table's data. From advice I've seen on the SQL forum, I do something like the following in PL/SQL to clear a table:
BEGIN
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER INDEX TABLENAME_IDX1 UNUSABLE';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'TRUNCATE TABLENAME';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER INDEX TABLENAME_IDX1 REBUILD NOLOGGING';
COMMIT;
END;Andy

Delete all record in a table, the insert speed is not change.

I have an empty table, and i insert a record need 100ms,
when this table has 40,0000 record, i insert a record need 1s, this is ok, because i need do a compare based an index before insert a record, so more record, need more time.
The problem is when i delete all record in this table, the insert time is still 1s, not reduce to 100ms.Why?

Hello,
Read through this portion of oracle documentation
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/logical.htm#CNCPT004
The reason is still taking 1s, because when you inserted 400K record because HWM (The high water mark is the boundary between used and unused space in a segment.) moved up. And when you deleted all the records your HWM still at the same marker and didn't get to reset to 0. So when you insert 1 record it lookings for free space and after finding (generally a regular inserts got 6 steps it inserts data). If you truncate your table you and try it again it will be faster as your HWM is reset to 0.

BPM question - Delete all entries in a table and Insert data

Hello,
I'm new to PI BPM and have this scenario to implement.
I'm supposed to delete all entries in a table and then insert data to the same table.
Is BPM necessary? If it is, what is the best practice to implement my scenario?
I want to make sure that all entries were successfully deleted before insert data.
How do I check if all entries in the table were deleted successfully before
initiating insert.
Thank you.
-Won

Hi Won,
Yes, this is possible without BPM.
You have to create 2 separate mappings, each for deleting & inserting the records.
You will have 2 different Interface mappings as well.
But in ID, create a single interface determination.
In that, configure Deletion interface mapping first and in the second row, configure Insertion interface mapping.
Please make sure that the parameter 'Mainain Order At runtime' is checked in interface determination.

Delete a record in TVARV table

Hi All,
I want to delete a record in table TVARV, but the problem is that all the records that are present in TVARV table when i check from transaction SE16 are not present when i check throught transaction SM30 or STVARV.
If that record gets reflected in STVARV or SM30 then it will be very easy for me to delete it.
Kindly tell me as how to delete that record, from TVARV table,
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Nikesh Kumar

Hi,
The records are present in TVARVC table and not in TVARV.
You can delete them via transaction SM30. Deleting from TVARV will delete from TVARVC also.

Incomplete Data on report (report does not show all records from the table)

Hello,
I have problem with CR XI, I'm running the same report on the same data with simple select all records from the table (no sorting, no grouping, no filters)
Sometimes report shows me all records sometimes not. Mostly not all records on the report. When report incomplete sometimes it shows different number of records.
I'm using CR XI runtime on Windows Server 2003
Any help appreciated
Thanks!

Sorry Alexander. I missed the last line where you clearly say it is runtime.
A few more questions:
- Which CR SDK are you using? The Report Designer Component or the CR assemblies for .NET?
- What is the exact version of CR you are using (from help | about)
- What CR Service Pack are you on?
And a troubleshooting suggestion:
Since this works on some machines, it will be a good idea to compare all the runtime (both CR and non CR) being loaded on a working and non working machines.
Download the modules utility from here:

endloop.

Hi Naren,
First get the index number of the IT_data table and store it in one variable whose declaration like this.
data: tabix type sy-tabix.
while reading the internal table it_data set the tabix variable.
tabix = sy-tabix.
Instead of the above use below one.
Delete it_data-objek
Use the Below statement it will delete the row from the internal table.
Delete it_data-objek index tabix
Thanks,
Chidanand

Sending email after deleting the records in a table

Hi
I am deleting the records in a table. After deleting the records,
i want to send an email to another person. I am planning to follow this steps.
1. Create a trigger on the table(AFTER DELETE ON table FOR EACH ROW)
to copy the deleted records to temporary table.
2. Read the temporary table and send an email.
Is there any other way we can do with out creating temporary table ?.
Govind

I don't know what you plan to use to send the mail but here's a solution that would work.
-- Create a send mail procedure
create or replace procedure send_mail (
sender      IN VARCHAR2,
recipient   IN VARCHAR2,
message     IN VARCHAR2)
IS
mailhost VARCHAR2(30) := 'localhost';
mail_conn utl_smtp.connection;
BEGIN
mail_conn := utl_smtp.open_connection(mailhost, 25);
utl_smtp.helo(mail_conn, mailhost);
utl_smtp.mail(mail_conn, sender);
utl_smtp.rcpt(mail_conn, recipient);
utl_smtp.data(mail_conn, message);
utl_smtp.quit(mail_conn);
END;
/-- Create the trigger to email deleted rows
create or replace trigger email_del_rows
after delete on <table>
for each row
declare
msg varchar2(2000);
begin
msg := 'COL1 COL2 COMPANY NAME DATE'||chr(10);
msg := msg||:old.col1||'    '||:old.col2||'    '||:old.company_name||'       '||:old_date|| chr(10);
msg := msg||'END OF FILE';
send_mail('SENDER','[email protected]',msg);
end;
/You can make it look pretty but you get the basic idea.

How to delete a record from BSEG table

Dear Experts,
How to delete a record from BSEG table.
If there possible to delete some records from transparent table ?
Please help.
Regards,
Tan

Hi,
Deleting a record from a standard table can be done only if table maintenance exists - Cehck tcode - SM30. But it is not advisable to delete records, coz the records may be dependent on many other tables. If u delete in a single place, there may be chance that inconsistency in the data happens and hence will affect ur financial statements.
Pls. assign points, if useful

Delete a record from a table in a Database with Database Connectivity

I can't find the function from the Database Connectivity library that allows me to delete a record from a table of the database. I tried to use DB Tools Free Object.vi function but this one deletes only the table created with a query.
Thankyou

I have used the sql query as described above and it works fine with access DB and the DB toolkit, the free object vi only deallocated a recordset's references this will noty alter the database since the record is a copy of the databases information. The SQL delete function is very versatile and you should be able to delete records with no problem.

I need help deleting "all records associated with my domain name"

Hello,
I'm having problemsthe same exact problem as Daren... setting up my site to go live. Here's what I've done so far:
1) built the site and pushed it live
2) upgraded the site
3) set up a GoDaddy domain name
4) set up the servers on GoDaddy
5) set up the associate account info on BC
And then.... nothing.
I've then deleted the domain and tried to repeat the process, in case I missed something, but now I can't set up a new domaine and keep getting the error "Domain already exists. Please delete all records associated with this domain". What records? What does this even mean?
Can someone please walk me through the steps to get this site live?
Thanks!
Alex

How to delete all data in a table

What's the best way to delete all of the data from a table? I wan't to do a data wipe of our database to eliminate all of the test data we've been putting into it over the last few months.
I've tried using: DELETE FROM TABLENAME; but killed SQL+ after it ran for 13 hours and still wasn't done. There are approximately 900,000 records in this table and I would prefer not to drop/recreate the table because of the various dependencies within the database.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Try the TRUNCATE TABLE command. That's quick and easy.
e.g.
TRUNCATE TABLE mytable;
