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...

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.

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...

Execute immediate on DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL with error of ORA-01031: insufficient privileges

I want to mirror a schema to a existing schema by creating DDL and recreate on the other schema with same name.
I wrote the code below:
create or replace
PROCEDURE                                    SCHEMA_A."MAI__DWHMIRROR"
AS

    ,'SCHEMA_B'
into v_sqlstatement
from dual;
select CAST(v_sqlstatement AS VARCHAR2(3999)) into str from dual;
execute immediate ''||str;
END;
And Executing this block with below code:
set serveroutput on
begin

end;
But still getting the following error code:

           For Trusted Oracle users getting this error although granted the

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"

Do I need additional GRANTS on USER_02?
Thanks

I guess I need SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE role
http://www.orafaq.com/node/807
SYS and users with SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE can see all objects.

Using DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL get error: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis

Hi,
I'm trying to extract schema DDL from a database (10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Enterprise Edition on Solaris 10). I run the query below and get an ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis error.
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL( REPLACE(object_type,' ','_') AS object_type, object_name) FROM user_objects WHERE object_type NOT IN ('TABLE_PARTITION','INDEX_PARTITION','LOB');
This is the output when running the above in sqlplus worksheet
select DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL( REPLACE(object_type,' ','_') as object_type, object_name) FROM user_objects where object_type not in ('TABLE_PARTITION','INDEX_PARTITION','LOB')
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
removing the where clause gives the following:
select DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL( REPLACE(object_type,' ','_') as object_type, object_name) FROM user_objects
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
Any pointers would be gratefully received. I know I could get the DDL out using exp/imp but I want to understand why I'm getting the missing parenthesis error.
cheers,
Ewan

SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL( REPLACE(object_type,' ','_') AS object_type, object_name) FROM user_objects WHERE object_type NOT IN You don't need an alias here. Get rid of " AS object_type" and it should work.

Error using DBMS_METADATA package

Hi All,
I have the following query and trying to get the DDLs for the foreign Key constraint on tables
SELECT   TO_CHAR (DBMS_METADATA.get_ddl ('CONSTRAINT', constraint_name))
           || ';'
    FROM   all_constraints
   WHERE   status = 'ENABLED'
           AND table_name IN
                    ('OD_MF_ACCT_PLCY')
ORDER BY   table_name;I am getting the following error:

ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 2806
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 4333
ORA-06512: at line 1
Note able to decipher the same. Could you help me what it means?
Thanks,
Saff

The table is in D_OD only.
But I think I got the error...Was just reading about various constant types....instead of CONSTRAINT i think I need to give REF_CONSTRAINT as the type...
This worked out
SELECT   TO_CHAR (DBMS_METADATA.get_ddl ('REF_CONSTRAINT', constraint_name))
           || ';'
    FROM   user_constraints
   WHERE   status = 'ENABLED' AND constraint_type = 'R'
           AND table_name IN
                    ('OD_MF_ACCT_PLCY')
ORDER BY   table_name;Thanks,

[RESOLVED] dbms_metadata.get_ddl() issues

Hi all,
I'm having a bit of an issue using the dbms_metadata package. I've never used it so possibly I'm unaware of something basic.
I'm getting diferent results in my production and dev servers, both of which have this configuration:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.6.0 - 64bit Production
With the Partitioning, OLAP and Oracle Data Mining options
JServer Release 9.2.0.6.0 - Production
I am trying to replicate the DDL for one particular schema and so tried the following:
SQL> select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE',u.table_name)
2 from user_tables u
3 where rownum = 1;
ERROR:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error

ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 615
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 1221
ORA-06512: at line 1I tried again with hard-coding a table name and got these very scary results:
SQL> select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE','CAMPAIGN_LOOKUP','XMLUSER') FROM DUAL;

ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 1221
ORA-06512: at line 1in the above, I am logging in as the XMLUSER user and so owns the table campaign_lookup.
Next I tried getting the DDL for another schema that while still logged in as xmluser.
I'm certain that I have access read/write from the tclient table but got these results:
possibly the dbms_metadata package requires you to be loged in as the schema owner though
the oracle documentation link gives me a 404 error at the moment so I can't check.
SQL> select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE','TCLIENT','TRAVEL') from dual;
ERROR:

ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 1221
ORA-06512: at line 1So now I log into production:
SQL> select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE',u.table_name)
2 from user_tables u
3 where rownum = 1;
DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TABLE',
CREATE TABLE "XMLUSER"."CAMPAIGN_LOOKUP"
 ( "SCHEME_ID" VARCHAR2(30),
 "S
etc...but still can't extract DDL for another schema.
my main issue is, I can't log into production (or our implementation environment) as the schema
I want to extract due to big nasty DBAs locking it all down. however I can in dev, but get the above errors.
thoughts anyone?

Hi,
For your table not existing error it could be
1) Table not existing
or
2) Nonprivileged users can see the metadata of only their own objects.
SYS and users with SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE can see all objects
For other problem, there is a bug reported for your version, can search in metalink for workaround

Dbms_metadata.get_ddl and select_catalog_role

Hi,
We have been requested to give support staff the ability to see table triggers, stored procedures, etc only for specific schemas and they don't have access to the schema password. We can't give them SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE because they are not allowed to see all schemas. I wish there were a way to grant a version of SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE for only certain schemas......
I've played around with dbms_metadata.get_ddl with no luck (as per the documentation, but just had to try it anyway). I've even considered the script below, but it requires creating a view under the SYS schema and I can't figure out how to add triggers to the view.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Susan

DBMS_METADATA.get_ddl issues

When you run, select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('USER', 'scott') FROM DUAL; gives following error...
ORA-31603: object "scott" of type USER not found in schema "SYSTEM"
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_SYS_ERROR", line 105
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 2805
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_METADATA", line 4333
ORA-06512: at line 1
But this works...
select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('USER', UPPER('scott')) FROM DUAL ;
This gives result..
DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('USER',U
CREATE USER "SCOTT" IDENTIFIED BY VALUES 'F894844C34402B67'
DEFAULT TABLESPACE "USERS"
TEMPORARY TABLESPACE "TEMP"
PASSWORD EXPIRE
ACCOUNT LOCK
I think the supplied object_name is case-sensitive. but why is it so.

SQL> create user new_user identified by pwd;
User created.
SQL> select dbms_metadata.get_ddl('USER','NEW_USER') from dual;

Dbms_metadata.get_ddl wonder...

I'm in the middle of testing a export/import of one database -A - to another - B - (the why is a long, complicated and convoluted discussion of business rules). So I want to grab the ddl for A, in order to create the tablespaces for B prior to importing. Okay, I'll just use dbms_metadata.get_ddl in A, do some editing, and run it in B. No problem. Worked fine. But... when I ran the import, I ran into error after error complaining about space. ?? I look at the script some more and see that the tablespace its importing into is only 1 MB. Its currently 1.5 GB in database A. More poking around, and I fine a difference between the script created with dbms_metadata.get_dd and one I've extracted from Enterprise Manager.
dbms_metadata.get_dd:
CREATE TABLESPACE "PTTBL" DATAFILE
'/oradata/DBATST/data1/pttbl01.dbf' SIZE 1114112
LOGGING ONLINE PERMANENT BLOCKSIZE 8192

Why the difference? I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I've been searching for an answer for this for quite a while.
Thanks,

Yes, its a PeopleSoft database, and its not 1 MB in our "running" version. ;-) I've also looked more closely at the script I created with my incredibly complex script (select 'select dbms_metadata.get_ddl(''TABLESPACE'',''' || tablespace_name || ''') from dual;' from dba_tablespaces;) and am seeing more than a few with SIZE 1114112.
I am running it in the same version of sqlplus. I've set my Oracle environment (with oraenv) to this HSCPY environment and use sqlplus from the same Oracle Home.
Thanks,
