How to create pl/sql that run efficiently in background ?

Hi sql gurus,
We have application on Oracle 10g where 150+users (from multiple branch) concurrently input transaction. The transaction number is centralized, means all user use same transaction number counter.
To avoid the contention that occured, we think of using pl/sql procedure that run in background to do :
- select transaction that not yet has number
- query the last transaction number counter(a column in a table), increment by 1, update the transaction with the number
- commit
- process another transaction
What is the best approach to do this ?
(means a pl/sql that does not cause high CPU utilization, because it will run all day long)
Thank you,
xtanto

Hi,
Why can't you give them a number upon creationCurrently we doit this way, and this cause contention. thats why we think of separate the numbering process.
Fyi we donot use Sequence ( for gapless numbering).
We maintain the number counter in a column in a separate table. It is the update to this table that cause contention.
Oracle sequences are typically used for meaningless number generation. Yes, We dont use sequence.
Thank you
xtanto

  • Creating a job that runs a Tcl script

    Hi,
    We currently have a scheduled job running a Tcl script on a 8.1.7 DB. My question is, can I still use the same setup in 10g DB (i.e. creating a job that runs Tcl script)? If I can, how am I gonna do it?
    Thanks,
    howie

    It depends on how you scheduled the job in 8.1.7 DB.
    By Cronjob? Yes you can do the same to connect to 10g
    By DBMS_JOB?. Yes you can do it in 10g and in addition, can improve it with DBMS_SCHEDULER
    Via OEM? Yes in can use Enterprise Manager to create a Job that runs the Script.

    Hi,
    You should be more specific, what kind of hardware you are using ???
    Which kind of pulse you are measuring ?? You are saying that you want to count a number of pulses and then when you get to a limit (which will be between 3 and 10) you want to output a pulse ?

  • Create a validation that runs when a button is pressed

    Hi good people from this forum, I was wondering if it's possible to create a validation that runs when a button is pressed.
    I'm using Oracle Apex 4.2.2 with Oracle Apex Listener 2.0 and Oracle Database XE 11g
    Thank you so much for your time
    P.S. On another note, How can I change my display picture =P?

    You can create a validation and give it's condition like 'When Button Pressed' and select a button name or select the Condition Type as 'Request=Expression1' and give request(button name) in Expression1.

  • How to create an applet that shows a pdf as non-editable.

    Hi friends,
    Does any one know how to create an applet that shows a pdf document (should make that pdf a non-editable one) while clicking a link.Its urgent for me as I have to complete this one tomorrow itself...please help me...
    I am able to view the pdf document but that cannot be make a non-editable one.
    Can anyone gave me the code for that one....please I am not very much good in Java.

    PDF is a proprietary format and Java doesn't support it by default. Are you using a 3rd party tool to create the PDF? If so, you need to review the developer docs to see how to make the document non-editable. Frankly, I don't see why you're using an Applet to view a PDF in the first place. What exactly are you trying to do. I'm confused.

    You definitely need to check what 'EVENT STRUCTURE' is and how to use it... because thats needed to write such code.
