Finding Parent Table of Index Organized Table

I am using Oracle 10g Rel 2 and faced error message while granting select priviliges ORA-25191: cannot reference overflow table of an index-organized table
I searched solution and found: Issue the statement against the parent index-organized table containing the specified overflow table.
Question is how can i find parent index-organized table containing the specified overflow table.
Further i faced an other error while granting select priviliges : ORA-22812: cannot reference nested table column's storage table
Solution is same and i found parent table and first granted select priviliges on that parent table and then tried then tried to grant select priviliges on required table to public and did not worked.
if some body could help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And just what does this problem have to do with either the SQL and/or PL/SQL languages?

Index organized Materialized View in SQL Developer Datamodeler

Hello SQL Developer Datamodeler Team,
I'm using version 4.0.2.840 and looking for a how-to to change a MV to an IOMV.
So far I do the following:
Create Table in Relational Model
Create MV in Oracle 11g Physical Model
Double Click Table in Oracle 11g Physical Model
Set "Implement as MV" to my MV
OK
Now I can't find an option for index organized in Physical Model Materialized View properties.
The setting "Organization: Head/Index" for Physical Model MV-Basetable properties does not change the generated DDL.
Also, setting this to "Index" does not enable the window's "IOT Properties"-tab (like it does for normal tables).
Is it possible to create an Index organized Materialized View in current SQL Developer Datamodeler?
Thank you & Best regards,
Blama

Hi Blama,
DDL for Index-organized Materialized Views is generated in the Early Adopter release 4.1.0.866, which is now available for download.
The Organization on the Table that is implemented as the Materialized View should be set to INDEX, and the Table's IOT properties will be used during DDL generation.

Index Organized Tables

what is logical rowid in IOT?are they stored somwhere physically just like physical rowId's
what are secondary indexes?
what it means by leaf block splits?when and how it happens?
and the primary key constraint for an index-organized table cannot be dropped, deferred, or disabled,,,,,Is it true,,,,,if Yes Then Y
how does overflow works?how the two clauses are implemented PCTTHRESHOLD and INCLUDING.how they work?

I'm sort-of tempted to just point you in the direction of the official documentation (the concepts guide would be a start. See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28318/schema.htm#sthref759)
But I would say one or two other things.
First, physical rowids are not stored physically. I don't know why you'd think they were. The ROWID data type can certainly be used to store a rowid if you choose to do so, but if you do something like 'select rowid from scott.emp', for example, you'll see rowids that are generated on-the-fly. ROWID is a pseudo-column, not physically stored anywhere, but computed whenever needed.
The difference between a physical rowid and a logical one used with IOTs comes down to a bit of relational database theory. It is a cast-iron rule of relational databases that a row, once inserted into a table, must never move. That is, the rowid it is assigned at the moment of its first insertion, must be the rowid it 'holds onto' for ever and ever. If you ever want to change the rowids assigned to rows in an ordinary table, you have to export them, truncate the table and then re-insert them: fresh insert, fresh rowid. (Oracle bends this rule for various maintenance and management purposes, whereby 'enable row movement' permits rows to move within a table, but the general case still applies mostly).
That rule is obviously hopeless for index structures. Were it true, an index entry for 'Bob' who gets updated to 'Robert' would find itself next to entries for 'Adam' and 'Charlie', even though it now has an 'R' value. Effectively, a 'b' "row" in an index must be allowed to "move" to an 'r' sort of block if that's the sort of update that takes place. (In practice, an update to an index entry consists of performing a delete followed by a re-insert, but the physicalities don't change the principle: "rows" in an index must be allowed to move if their value changes; rows in a table don't move, whatever happens to their values)
An IOT is, at the end of the day, simply an index with a lot more columns in it than a "normal" index would have -so it, too, has to allow its entires (its 'rows', if you like) to move. Therefore, an IOT cannot use a standard ROWID, which is assigned once and forever. Instead, it has to use something which takes account of the fact that its rows might wander. That is the logical rowid. It's no more "physical" than a physical rowid -neither are physically stored anywhere. But a 'physical' rowid is invariant; a logical one is not. The logical one is actually constructed in part from the primary key of the IOT -and that's the main reason why you cannot ever get rid of the primary key constraint on the IOT. Being allowed to do so would equate to allowing you to destroy the one organising principle for its contents that an IOT possesses.
(See the section entitled "The ROWID Pseudocolumn" and following on this page: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28318/datatype.htm#CNCPT1845
So IOTs have their data stored in them in primary key order. But they don't just contain the primary key, but every other column in the 'table definition' too. Therefore, just like with an ordinary table, you might want sometimes to search for data on columns which are NOT part of the primary key -and in that case, you might well want these non-primary key columns to be indexed. Therefore, you will create ordinary indexes on these columns -at this point, you're creating an index on an index, really, but that's a side issue, too! These extra indexes are called 'secondary indexes', simply because they are 'subsidiary indexes' to the main one, which is the "table" itself arranged in primary key order.
Finally, a leaf block split is simply what happens when you have to make room for new data in an index block which is already packed to the rafters with existing data. Imagine an index block can only contain four entries, for example. You fill it with entries for Adam, Bob, Charlie, David. You now insert a new record for 'Brian'. If this was a table, you could throw Brian into any new block you like: data in a table has no positional significance. But entries in an index MUST have positional significance: you can't just throw Brian in amongst the middle of a lot of Roberts, Susans and Tanyas. Brian HAS to go in between the existing entires for Bob and Charlie. Yet you can't just put him in the middle of those two, because then you'd have five entries in a block, not four, which we imagined for the moment to be the maximum allowed. So what to do? What you do is: obtain a new, empty block. Move Charlie and David's entries into the new block. Now you have two blocks: Adam-Bob and Charlie-David. Each only has two entries, so each has two 'spaces' to accept new entries. Now you have room to add in the entry for Brian... and so you end up with Adam-Bob-Brian and Charlie-David.
The process of moving some index entries out of one block into a new one so that there's room to allow new entries to be inserted in the middle of existing ones is called a block split. They happen for other reasons, too, so this is just a gloss treatment of them, but they give you the basic idea. It's because of block splits that indexes (and hence IOTs) see their "rows" move: Charlie and David started in one block and ended up in a completely different block because of a new (and completely unrelated to them) insert.
Very finally, overflow is simply a way of splitting off data into a separate table segment that wouldn't sensibly be stored in the main IOT segment itself. Suppose you create an IOT containing four columns: one, a numeric sequence number; two, a varchar2(10); three, a varchar2(15); and four, a blob. Column 1 is the primary key.
The first three columns are small and relatively compact. The fourth column is a blob data type -so it could be storing entire DVD movies, multi-gigabyte-sized monsters. Do you really want your index segment (for that is what an IOT really is) to balloon to huge sizes every time you add a new row? Probably not. You probably want columns 1 to 3 stored in the IOT, but column 4 can be bumped off over to some segment on its own (the overflow segment, in fact), and a link (actually, a physical rowid pointer) can link from the one to the other. Left to its own devices, an IOT will chop off every column after the primary key one when a record which threatens to consume more than 50% of a block gets inserted. However, to keep the main IOT small and compact and yet still contain non-primary key data, you can alter these default settings. INCLUDE, for example, allows you to specify which last non-primary key column should be the point at which a record is divided between 'keep in IOT' and 'move out to overflow segment'. You might say 'INCLUDE COL3' in the earlier example, so that COL1, COL2 and COL3 stay in the IOT and only COL4 overflows. And PCTTHRESHOLD can be set to, say, 5 or 10 so that you try to ensure an IOT block always contains 10 to 20 records -instead of the 2 you'd end up with if the default 50% kicked in.

Why Index-organized Table (IOT) is so slow during bulk/initial insert?

Tested in 11.1.0.7.0 RAC on RHEL 5 with ASM and 16KB block size.
Table is not wide: PK contains 4 columns and the leading 2 are compressed because they have relatively low cardinality; 2 other columns are included; the table contains another 4 audit columns; overflow table space defined.
Created 2 tables, one is IOT, the other is a normal heap-organized table with "COMPRESS FOR ALL OPERATIONS". Both tables have been range partitioned by the first column into 8 partitions, and DOP is set to 8.
Initial load volume is about 160M rows. Direct Path insert is used with parallel degree 8.
After initial load, create PK for the 4 columns with the leading 2 compressed on the normal table. The IOT occupied about 7GB storage; the normal table occupied 9GB storage (avg_row_len = 80 bytes) and the PK occupied 5.8GB storage.
The storage saving of IOT is significant, but it took about 60 minutes to load the IOT, while it only took 10 minutes to load the heap-organized table and then 6 minutes to create the PK. Overall, the bulk insert for IOT is about 4 times slower than the equivalent heap-organized table.
I have ordered the 4 columns in PK for the best compression ratio (lower cardinality comes first) and only compress the most repetitive leading columns (this matches ORACLE's recommendation in index_stats after validate structure), partition is used to reduce contention, parallel degree is amble, /*+ append */ is used for insert, the ASM system is backed with high-end SAN with a lot of I/O bandwidth.
So it seems that such table is good candidate for IOT and I've tried a few tricks to get the best out of IOT, but the insert performance is quite disappointing. Please advise me if I missed anything, or you have some tips to share.
Thanks a lot.

Hmmm, that's very interesting. I'm still a bit cynical though -- in order for direct path to work on an index organized table by appending blocks I would think that some extra conditions would have to be satisfied:
* the table would have to be empty, or the lowest-sorting row of the new data would have to be higher than the highest-sorting row of the existing data
* the data would have to be sorted
... that sort of thing. Maybe I'm suffering a failure of imagination though.Could be. From a Tanel Poder post:
>
The “direct path loader” (KCBL) module is used for performing direct path IO in Oracle, such as direct path segment scans and reading/writing spilled over workareas in temporary tablespace. Direct path IO is used whenever you see “direct path read/write*” wait events reported in your session. This means that IOs aren’t done from/to buffer cache, but from/to PGA directly, bypassing the buffer cache.
This KCBL module tries to dynamically scale up the number of asynch IO descriptors (AIO descriptors are the OS kernel structures, which keep track of asynch IO requests) to match the number of direct path IO slots a process uses. In other words, if the PGA workarea and/or spilled-over hash area in temp tablespace gets larger, Oracle also scales up the number of direct IO slots. Direct IO slots are PGA memory structures helping to do direct IO between files and PGA.
>
So I'm reading into this that somehow these temp segments handle it, perhaps because with parallelism you have to be able to deal anyway. I speculate the data is inserted past the high water mark, then any ordering issues left can be resolved before moving the high water mark(s). Maybe examining where segments wind up in the data files can show how this works.
>
I can't find anything in the documentation that speaks to this, so I wonder whether the docs are really talking about a form of conventional path parallel insert into an IOT and not true direct path inserts.
One way to check, I think, would be to get the wait events for the insert and see whether the writes are direct.

Problem with a 2 columns Range Partitioning for a indexed organized table

have an indexed organized table with a 2 column PK. the first field (datum) is a date field the second field (installatieid) is a number(2) field.
Every minute a 7 records are inserted (installatieid 0-6).
I like to partition this table with one partition per year per installatieid.
I tried to do it with:
partition by range(datum,installatieid)
(partition P_2004_0 values less than (to_date('2004-01,'yyyy-mm'),1)
,partition P_2004_6 values less than (to_date('2004-01','yyyy-mm'),7)
partition P_2005_0 values less than (to_date('2005-01','yyyy-mm'),1)
,partition P_2005_6 values less than (to_date('2005-01','yyyy-mm'),7)
but now only the P_2004_0 and P_2005_0 are filled.
I thought about to combine a range partition on datum with a list subpartition on installatieid, but I read this is not allowed with an index organized table.
How can I solve this problem.

partition by range(datum,installatieid)
(partition P_2004_0 values less than
(to_date('2004-01,'yyyy-mm'))
,partition P_2004_6 values less than
(to_date('2004-07','yyyy-mm'))
partition P_2005_0 values less than
(to_date('2005-01','yyyy-mm'))
,partition P_2005_6 values less than
(to_date('2005-07','yyyy-mm'))
? Sorry haven't got time to test it this morning ;0)

Heap tables and index organized tables

I performing migration from mssql server to oracle 10gr2 rdbms, in mssql all tables have clustered pk, index. Is it necessary to use index organized tables for that migration, or enough ordinal heap organized tables and what differences between those tables, and mssql tables
Thanx

In Oracle, the typical table is a standard 'heap' table. Stuff goes into the heap table randomly, and randomly comes out.
An Index Organizaed Tables is somewhat similar to a Cluster Index in SS. It can have some performance advantages over heap tables - when the heap table has an associated index on the primary key.
The IOT can also have some disadvantages, such as the need for an Overflow table to handle the extra data when a row doesn't conveniently fit in a block (implying multiple I/Os), and an extra translation table if bitmap indexes are required (implying extra I/Os).
An unintelligent developer will generally believe that Oracle and SQL Server are the same - after all they both run SQL - and will attempt to port by a simple translation of syntax.
An intelligent developer will test both styles of tables, during a port. Such a developer will also be quick to learn about the changes in internals (such as locking mechanisms) and will realize that different styles of coding are required for many application situations.
I recommend reading Tom Kyte's books to get handle on pros and cons as well as testing techniques to help a developer become intelligent.

In the parent table has a ROWID of an index of the child table FK!

From the structure of the heap table is a problem.
PK has a parent table.
Child table has a FK.
If you have FK to the parent table has a ROWID, I think in terms of speed to get the best performance.
what do you think?
Edited by: user5647868 on 2011. 9. 29 오후 10:46

Of course, if the parent table FK ribildeuhal should rebuild the index.
In reality, however, if the parent table, there were no ribildeuhaneun.
If you need to rebuild a lot if you have a DOWNTIME.
In some cases, even given the option to ALTER TABLE will be.
Is the child table FK halgeot rebuild?
FK using ROWID in the index of the parent decide to disable?
And so on.

How to handle Index Organized Tables in schema capture?

I’m trying setup streams schema level between 2 database source 10.2.0.4 and 11g; one way streams;
The source has Index Organized Tables with column rowed; Oracle streams doesn’t support data type rowed;
Is it works around?
Thanks

At the moment, you can't do it declaratively. You have to do it in an event handler. Assuming you have the userid setup as a query parameter in the view object, something like this should get you started:
public EventResult handleEvent(
BajaContext context, Page page, PageEvent event) throws Throwable
HttpSession session = context.getServletRequest().getSession(true);
ViewObject view = ServletBindingUtils.getViewObject(context);
String userid = session.getAttribute("userid");
view.setWhereClauseParam(0, userid);
view.executeQuery();

Indexes on Index Organized Table

I remember seeing a note regarding problems in using indexs on index organized tables. Of course, the index would be something other than the one implied in the table definition. I can't seem to remember what the problem was.

Primary key constraint for index-organized tables or sorted hash cluster

We had a few tables dropped without using cascade constraints. Now when we try to recreate the table we get an error message stating that "name already used by an existing constraint". We cannot delete the constraint because it gives us an error "ORA-25188: cannot drop/disable/defer the primary key constraint for index-organized tables or sorted hash cluster" Is there some sort of way around this? What can be done to correct this problem?

What version of Oracle are you on?
And have you searched for the constraint to see what it's currently attached to?
select * from all_constraints where constraint_name = :NAME;

Script to find out table and index candidates to keep in the buffer pool

I am looking for a script to find out tables and indexes to keep in the buffer pool.
Could you help me on this ?
thanks...

this is more of a open question. As you know ur data well. We do not know whats ur data. cachin tables in buffer pool is okay, but it might age out after not being used...instead you can use the KEEP POOL...to cache small tables/popular tables into the keep pool...as keep pool guarantees full caching .....
here are some links on keep pool cacheing

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio:In the Database, how to print out or export the old 3 dbo Tables that were created manually and they have a relationship for 1 Parent table and 2 Child tables?How to handle this relationship in creating a new XML Schema?

Hi all,
Long time ago, I manually created a Database (APGriMMRP) and 3 Tables (dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates, dbo.Table_2_Soil, and dbo.Table_3_Water) in my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012). The dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates has the following columns: file_id,
Pt_ID, X, Y, Z, sample_id, Boring. The dbo.Table_2_Soil has the following columns: Boring, sample_date, sample_id, Unit, Arsenic, Chromium, Lead. The dbo.Table_3_Water has the following columns: Boring, sample_date, sample_id, Unit, Benzene, Ethylbenzene,
Pyrene. The dbo.Table_1_XYcoordinates is a Parent Table. The dbo.Table_2_Soil and the dbo.Table_3_Water are 2 Child Tables. The sample_id is key link for the relationship between the Parent Table and the Child Tables.
Problem #1) How can I print out or export these 3 dbo Tables?
Problem #2) If I right-click on the dbo Table, I see "Start PowerShell" and click on it. I get the following error messages: Warning: Failed to load the 'SQLAS' extension: An exception occurred in SMO while trying to manage a service.
--> Failed to retrieve data for this request. --> Invalid class. Warning: Could not obtain SQL Server Service information. An attemp to connect to WMI on 'NAB-WK-02657306' failed with the following error: An exception occurred in SMO while trying

I get this problem fixed in my PC that is an end user of the Windows 7 LAN System? Note: I don't have the regular version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2012 in my PC. I just have the Microsoft 2012 Shell (Integrated) program in my PC.
Problem #3: I plan to create an XML Schema Collection in the "APGriMMRP" database for the Parent Table and the Child Tables. How can I handle the relationship between the Parent Table and the Child Table in the XML Schema Collection?
Problem #4: I plan to extract some results/data from the Parent Table and the Child Table by using XQuery. What kind of JOIN (Left or Right JOIN) should I use in the XQuerying?
Please kindly help, answer my questions, and advise me how to resolve these 4 problems.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang

In the future, I would recommend you to post your questions one by one, and to the appropriate forum. Of your questions it is really only #3 that fits into this forum. (And that is the one I will not answer, because I have worked very little with XSD.)
1) Not sure what you mean with "print" or "export", but when you right-click a database, you can select Tasks from the context menu and in this submenu you find "Export data".
2) I don't know why you get that error, but any particular reason you want to run PowerShell?
4) If you have tables, you query them with SQL, not XQuery. XQuery is when you query XML documents, but left and right joins are SQL things. There are no joins in XQuery.
As for left/right join, notice that these two are equivalent:
SELECT ...
FROM   a LEFT JOIN b ON a.col = b.col
SELECT ...
FROM   b RIGHT JOIN a ON a.col = b.col
But please never use RIGHT JOIN - it gives me a headache!
There is nothing that says that you should use any of the other. In fact, if you are returning rows from parent and child, I would expect an inner join, unless you want to cater for parents without children.
Here is an example where you can study the different join types and how they behave:
CREATE TABLE apple (a int    NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
b varchar(23) NOT NULL)
INSERT apple(a, b)
   VALUES(1, 'Granny Smith'),
   (2, 'Gloster'),
   (4, 'Ingrid-Marie'),
   (5, 'Milenga')
CREATE TABLE orange(c int NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
d varchar(23) NOT NULL)
INSERT orange(c, d)
   VALUES(1, 'Agent'),
   (3, 'Netherlands'),
   (4, 'Revolution')
SELECT a, b, c, d
