HELP remembering VIEW names and USAGE - any tips?

Hi
Ive got my 1Z0-031 exam comming up this friday and after each topic section self review i do, im finding that i cant answer the questions which quiz me on the use of either V$ and regular DD views.
Remembering the actual names will be OK, but then i strugle trying to remember within WHICH contexts they are be used. If it were to ask a definition of a particular view i would be OK with that also, but i know the exam will not be like that...and from practice questions, there are quite a few questions on views within each section!!
For example, Which VIEW could you use to query users with the ALTER ANY ROLE privilege?
Now i know the answer is DBA_SYS_PRIVS, but from remembering the defintion of this view, it did not help me - in that I find it hard to relate the VIEW name and its usage in conjunction with the definition...(DEF: DBA_SYS_PRIVS - lists SYSTEM PRIVILEGES granted to USERS and ROLES)
Any tips or adivce would be really appriciated! :)
Thanks again!
Amanjit

Well.... you need to find your own "method" but some tips that might help:
- since you dont have much time, write down the names of the views related to this exam (narrow down the number of views) and try to create some structure from there
- try to think in objects: tables, columns, views, synonyms and indexes. Tablespaces, data files, segments and extents. Users, privileges and roles.
- use the views and learn from it; do describe on them, and select from them to see what info each view delivers
- dba/all/user views ends very often with an s, v$ does not (dba_tablespaces and v$tablespace)
- v$ has dynamic performance/"run-time" info e.g. processes, sessions, sql, statistics, memory, etc. and you can use some fixed tables/views already when the instance is in nomount (v$system_parameter, v$session, ...) or mount (v$controlfile, v$datafile, v$log, ...).
Hth,

btw, I suck at remembering such details, I use the describe command and know where to find the docs ;-)

  • Query to find all the view name and their size in GB

    Hi,
    What is the query to find all the view name and their size in GB.I am aware of joining all_views and user_segments but this is not serving the purpose.is there any table i need to join to get the desired result
    Thanks

    You could of course be thinking of views as they are stored in other RDBMS' as some of them actually create the view as a table on the database with a copy of the data in it and maintain that data as the base tables are updated.
    As already mentioned, Oracle just stores the SQL of the View and executes that SQL when the view is queried.
    Alternatively, Oracle also has "materialized views" which are created as snapshots of the data and will have a size. This data is updated (refreshed) based on the parameters used when creating the materialized view which means that it will either be, commonly, when a commit is issued or when a refresh is explicitly requested (refresh on demand).

  • Cannot remember workspace name and maybe password

    Hi everyone
    I installed APEX back in November 2006 and was successfully able to create a workspace. Since then I have not been near it until today.
    Now I cannot remember the name of the workspace that I used and I suspect I got my password lost too. Is there a way to find the name of the workspace that I created? I'm pretty sure I know the password so the first step would be gettig my workspace name.
    Any ideas?
    Best wishes
    Michael

    Hi Scott
    I figured it out. I logged in as SYS then went to the FLOWS_020200 account and first of all looked in WWV_FLOW_COMPANIES. The SHORT_NAME seemed to be my workspace.
    Then I looked in WWV_FLOW_FND_USER and saw a column called USER_NAME which rang a bell in my mind and said - that's the one.
    So using those two items, I remembered that my password was APEX and I could log in - phew.
    Thanks for all your help. Can I also ask - how easy would it be to upgrade to 3.0 from 2.2? Is there a manual for this?
    Best wishes

  • SYNONYM name, VIEW name and TABLE name

    Can I have SYNONYM name and VIEW name same as TABLE name within same schema?
    ...Vivek

    No, Tables, views and private synonyms share all the same namespace. Indexes and constraints share another namespace. This means that it is possible to have the same name for an index and a table.
    Non-schema object (like public synonyms, user-role...) share another namespace.

  • Dict View name and column names

    Hi,
    Oracle 11.2.0.1
    Windows XP
    I wish to get the output of all the dictionary views with their name and column names something like this :
    VIEW NAME
    Name                                      Null?    Type
    VIEW NAME
    Name                                      Null?    Type
    ...Please tell me how do I get the above output for all the dict view from dict table.
    Thanks.

    Step 1:
    set serveroutput on;
    set feed off;
    set head off;
    set pages 200;
    spool dict.sql;
    declare
    tn varchar2(50);
    cursor c is select table_name from dict order by table_name;
    begin
    open c;
    loop
    fetch c into tn;
    dbms_output.put_line('begin');
    dbms_output.put_line('dbms_output.put_line(' ||chr(39) || tn ||chr(39) ||');');
    dbms_output.put_line('end;');
    dbms_output.put_line('/');
    dbms_output.put_line('desc ' || tn || ';');
    exit when c%NOTFOUND;
    end loop;
    close c;
    end;
    Step 2:
    Just edit dict.sql to remove top and bottom lines.
    spool dictcols.txt
    @dict.sql;
    spool off;
    But, this is not a good way to obtain your desired output. I am sure, other members can do it very smartly and efficiently.

  • Need help with administrator name and password

    I was messing around on my macbook awhile ago and tried to change around my adminstrator name and now whenever I try to update I can't because the administrator name is wrong. I've tried setting it to different things but it never works. How do I re-set my administrator name and password so i can update?!

    Follow the instructions in this FAQ to regain administrator access to the computer. If there is an Open Firmware password set on the machine, the method documented will not work and you won't be able to resolve this issue on your own; in this case, take it to a retail Apple Store or other AASP.

  • JTable - Help with column names and rowselection

    Hi,
    Is there anyone that can help me. I have successfully been able to load a JTable from an MS access database using vectors. I am now trying to find out how to hardcode the column names into the JTable as a string.
    Can anyone please also show me some code on how to be able update a value in a cell (from ''N'' to ''Y'') by double clicking on that row.
    How can I make all the other columns non-editable.
    Here is my code:
         private JTable getJTable() {
              Vector columnNames = new Vector();
    Vector data = new Vector();
    try
    // Connect to the Database
    String driver = "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver";
    // String url = "jdbc:odbc:Teenergy"; // if using ODBC Data Source name
    String url = "jdbc:odbc:Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=C:/Documents " +
              "and Settings/Administrator/My Documents/mdbTEST.mdb";
    String userid = "";
    String password = "";
    Class.forName( driver );
    Connection connection = DriverManager.getConnection( url, userid, password );
    // Read data from a table
    String sql = "select * from PurchaseOrderView";
    Statement stmt = connection.createStatement();
    ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery( sql );
    ResultSetMetaData md = rs.getMetaData();
    int columns = md.getColumnCount();
    // Get column names
    for (int i = 1; i <= columns; i++)
    columnNames.addElement( md.getColumnName(i) );
    // Get row data
    while (rs.next())
    Vector row = new Vector(columns);
    for (int i = 1; i <= columns; i++)
    row.addElement( rs.getObject(i) );
    data.addElement( row );
    rs.close();
    stmt.close();
    catch(Exception e)
    System.out.println( e );
              if (jTable == null) {
                   jTable = new JTable(data, columnNames);
                   jTable.setAutoCreateColumnsFromModel(false);
                   jTable.setAutoResizeMode(javax.swing.JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_NEXT_COLUMN);
                   jTable.setShowHorizontalLines(false);
                   jTable.setGridColor(java.awt.SystemColor.control);
                   jTable.setRowSelectionAllowed(true);
                   jTable.setSelectionMode(javax.swing.ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
                   jTable.setShowGrid(true);     
              return jTable;
         }

    this method has a default behavior to supply exactly what you're seeing: column names consisting of the capitalized letters, "A", "B", "C".Thanks Pete, had seen that but never really thought about it... about 10 days ago somebody needed to obtain Excel column names, I'd offered a rigorous solution and now see it would have been shorter and simpler (if a little heavier) to extend DefaultTableModel and provide the two additional methods needed (getOffsetCol and getColIndex).
    Not much of a difference in LOC but certainly more elegant ;-)

    I Just open my Mac book pro and I can't seem to put my hand on what I placed as my password or name is there a way I can reset this abf start over?

    It's not a screen saver, per se., it's the iTunes Visualizer.

    Pressing various keys while the visualizer is on changes some of the parameters.
