Extract schema/metadata - names for all tables and attributes

Hi, I am quite new to Oracle DB (only been doing dev mostly with sqlserver before). Is there a way to extract schema (names for all tables and attributes) for 10g and 11g in application code (either java or .net) or pl/sql?
Thank you,
-Tony

There are built in views that start with DBA_, ALL_, and USER_. All means all the user can see, user means all the user has, and dba means everything, which generally means the same as the others plus an owner. So you can desc user_tables to see what-all that view has, then select columns from the view with ordinary sql. See the doc set for all the views available, interesting ones are ...views, ...objects, ...tab_cols and so forth.
There are also built in procedures for getting metadata, google for details.
Many tools have easy GUI's for this too. EM has ways on the administration screen to get to various objects, and then you can show the ddl. Maybe sqldeveloper has something too.

Import tables using same file name for all tables

hi,
We are using oracle 11.2.0.3.0, we have taken export of multiple tables in schema, unfortunately in exp command we have mention same file name for all the tables, now it has created one file for all export but the size of that file shows that all the tables included in it , when we try to import the tables only last table mention in export command is imported for other tables it hangs, example of code show below.
Is there any way to import the remaining tables.
exp system file =exp05042013.dmp tables=gr.table1
exp system file =exp05042013.dmp tables=gr.table2
exp system file =exp05042013.dmp tables=gr.table3

Hi,
You can use as :
exp username@database tables=table1,table2 file=tabledata.dmpDid you have any RMAN full backup?
Why you are not recover crash database?

Search script generator for all objects and data (!) from a user/schema ?

Is there a way to create a script which (when run) creates all the existing
TABLES; INDEXES, KEYS and DATA for a specified user/schema ?
This (PL-)SQL script should contain all INSERTS for the currently existing rows of
all the TABLEs.
When I use e.g. export to Dumpfile I have at first find all TABLEs and components
which I want to dump. This is rather uncomfortable.
I just want to specify the user name similar to
createscript user=karl@XE outfile=D:\mydata\myscript.sql
Is this somehow possible ?

So that I understand your requirements exactly, are you asking for your script to ...
1/ export from database A the entire schema of a specified user
2/ drop all objects owned by that user in database B
3/ import the objects from database A into database B
If so, it sounds to me that a shell script that does a schema level export as Nicholas suggested, and then drops the user from database B using the cascade keyword (e.g. drop user username cascade), recreates the user and then imports the export file into B should do the trick.
I don't think searching for individual tables and creating the statements to recreate them is the best idea.
Hope that helps

The specified file or folder name is too long,the url path for all files and folders

The specified file or folder name is too long,the url path for all files and folders must be 260 character or less
can we increase this limit?
MCTS,ITIL

Hi,
As I understand, you want to increase the length of URL path in SharePoint 2010.
Per my knowledge, this limit cannot be increased. SharePoint limits URL length because all relative URL links are stored in the clear forms on the SharePoint content DB and often this links are used as primary keys to link one table with another. Fields
which are used to store these links (for instance tp_DirName from the AllUserData table) allow storing only 256 characters.
There are several ways that you can resolve or mitigate URL length problems in the SharePoint Server 2010 environment. The following list provides suggestions:
1. Upgrade all the end-user browsers to Internet Explorer 8, which has a longer URL length limit.
2. Use shorter names for sites, folders, and documents and control the depth of the site and folder structures to reduce the lengths of URLs.
3. If possible or allowed, use ASCII names for sites, folders, and documents. This will avoid situations where the URL will be lengthened by being encoded.
4. To reduce the risk that the SharePoint Server 2010 end-users will encounter problems because of URL length limitations, we recommend that you apply the following effective limits in the deployment:
256 Unicode (UTF-16) Code units - the effective file path length limitation, including a domain/server name
128 Unicode (UTF-16) Code units - the path component length limitation

M:N Relation and plural name for associative Table

Hi,
I'm using DM 3.1.4
In my logical model, 2 entities and an M:N relation. I define a name for this relation
Entity Student
Entity Stage
Relation Registration
I create a glossary with plural form for these three names (entities name and relation name) :
Student --> STUDENTS
Stage --> STAGES
Registration --> REGISTRATIONS
When I generate relationnal model with "apply name translation" option, my two tables are named correctly with the plural name, but the associative table is named with the relation name (registration), not with the plural form (REGISTRATIONS)
Is this a bug ? Is there another way to automatically define plural name for an associative table ?
Thanks
Fabrice.
Edited by: FabriceC on 22 mars 2013 14:03

Hi Fabrice,
thanks for reporting the problem. I logged a bug for that.
There is no another way for setting a plural name for intersection table. If you switch to 3.3 then you can set the name manually and lock it so it cannot be changed further.

Hi All,How2 delete a pkey for std table and add 2 new primary keys

Hi All,
How2 delete a pkey for std table and add 2 new primary key fields .Please provide me the required procedure .
Thanks&Regards.
Bharat.

Hi Bharat,
First thing is you need to have the access key to change any standard dictionary object/standard programs/ standard transactions.You may get this from your basis person after getting approval from your respective manager.But changing or modifying the standard object is not recommended, but if there is no alternate to meet the business requirement then we have to follow this way only.
Next, you need to check whether this table's primary key is being used in any other table as foreing key or not. If there is, then you must remove this relation and then you can delete the unncessary primary key field from that table.Finally you can add the two new fields and set them as primary key, save, check for any errors and activate.
Hope this helps.
Please reward if useful.
Thanks,

Pkg execution session id in all tables and Session Id of each interface

Hi
I am have one master package executing all interfaces for Staging and Target. Each staging interface loads the data from source to staging tables and target interface loads data from staging to Target. Each table has a column named ETL Batch Id and ETL Session Id. Our designer asked us to populate the ETL Batch Id with the Pkg execution id which will be same in all tables and also the ETL Session Id with the respective interface scenario execution session id which will be different in each table.
Question: 1. What is the purpose and advantage of storing ETL Batch Id in each table?
2. What is the purpose and advantage of storing ETL Session Id in each table?
3. Do I need both? (1 and 2)
BTW the ET design is for Star Schema (Data mart)
Thanks
OBIEE Fan

This is really a question for your designer - there may be valid reasons why you'd want to store the session ID - maybe to help with break analysis or data quality monitoring. If you store the session ID in a table then you should be able to work out the "batch ID" by looking at the work repository/operator. But again, whether you "need" them is a question for your designer.
ODI may update rows as well as insert, so there may be considerations there as to how you tell the difference.

Just updated to itunes 12.1.0.71 - big problem - can no longer access the legacy "Get Info" where you could change multiple files, easily add artwork, add album name for TV show, and much more. In previous iTunes 12 you'd right click

Just updated to itunes 12.1.0.71 - big problem - can no longer access the legacy "Get Info" where you could change multiple files, easily add artwork, add album name for TV show, and much more. In previous iTunes 12 you'd right click and hold shift key and be able to get to it. Anyone figured this out?

The "legacy" metadata editors, for which there was a "back door" in iTunes 12.0, have gone from 12.1. However, the revised editors in 12.1 provide access to (almost) all the metadata elements that were available in iTunes 11, albeit in a different layout and with some additional constraints based on media kind. Some users have / will have an issue with the statement that "Get Info has been completely redesigned in iTunes 12 to focus your attention only on what’s necessary for the selected item" since that removes some metadata elements that people may have been using in creative ways. iTunes 12.1 basically gives you access to the fields that Apple think are necessary ... . Some of the things that have been excluded by this rule:
track and disc number fields for video media kinds
show and episode fields for music
description tab for audiobooks made up of more than one file
Obviously the first two examples can be regarded as "overloading" the metadata elements - i.e., using them in ways that the designers didn't intend - but given that some users do find valid cases for this it's a shame that they've been deprecated in the new UI. There are couple of workarounds:
in songs view (or any of the other columnar views), you can still select any fields to display, independent of media kind, and these can be edited (though only one at a time) by double-clicking in the relevant "cell"
you can (temporarily) change the media kind of an item (or group of items) to get access to metadata elements that would otherwise be inaccessible.
It may be worth submitting an issue via https://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html - I can't see it as a huge development task to have a user preference to switch between "show all fields" and "filter fields based on media kind".
One other oddity/irritation is that some of the tabs don't, by default, show all the available fields - you need to scroll up/down to access them or to expand the window by dragging on one of its corners. Fortunately, the latter seems to be persistent - once you've done this to make all the fields visible the editor will open at the same (larger) size when opened again.

Get the names of all tables

First I want to tell you: I'm a amateur concerning Java Programming.
My task is to write a java program - using JCO -, which retrieves the names of all tables (a user can access).
Can anybody help me, please?

Hi Michael,
i can't help you because i don't know anything about JCO!
It's simply funny and i'm happy to see a "known face" here!
Perhaps this will help you:
