How to document my database objects

I need to document my database objects with respect to:
What objects I have , relationship with in tables , keys in tables Etc…
This document should be good enough to explain the business flow (data flow) in DB
What I am looking is :: A good template or approach any idea or suggestion.
--ER diagrams is 1 thing in my mind any other thing anyone what to suggest
--Coding standard is something different
thanks in advance;

Why not use the Oracle Data Dictionary as repository for the core info about your tables and columns and relationships? See the COMMENT command in Oracle® Database SQL Reference.

How to open a database object for view/edit using a command (v. 3.2.20.09)

How can I open a database object for view or edit using a command in Oracle SQL Deveveloper?
I find browsing or search for object in a large database to be slow and too cumbersome.

Shift-F4 (pop-up descrribe) on a table name in the worksheet will let you view table details, but there is no quick edit.
You can use filters on the object browser to reduce the number of visible objects.

How to compare two database objects?

Hi,
I need to compare two objects with embedded objects/collections in it to tell exact difference between the two.
e.g.,
create type t1 as object (name varchar2(10), age number);
create type t2 as table of t1;
create type t3 as object (user t1, family t2);
... and so on.. this type hirarechy is big in my case..
I want a procedure/function which can tell me what and where is the difference.
PROCEDURE (obj1 T1 , obj2 T1) IS
BEGIN
END;
e.g., t1.name = 'John' and t2.name = 'Mich' then it should return t1.name etc..
Is it possible?
Thanks

Delete Database Object or database diagram

Hello.
how could I delete a database object? I tried using right click but dont know how to delete the database object. The same problem is qhen I try to delete a database diagram, please could you help me?
Thanks a lot!

Emilio,
If you are talking about Offline Database Objects and want to completely remove them, you can select the appropriate node in the Navigator and then do 'File | Erase from Disk', the same is true for the Database Diagram. If you want to remove a Database Object from the Diagram, then you can invoke the context menu and again choose 'Erase from Disk' to fully erase the object, or you can choose 'Delete' to just remove the object from the Diagram bur remains in the Navigator.
Hope that helps,

Hello,
Check your configuration of document type assignement to required business document - object type, Archivelink table, content repository in OAC3 transaction.
Goto respective business document > Click on GOS > Create > Store business document - Here you can see defined document type with desctiption. Double click on this the assign your document to this business document. Save it.
This will help in attaching the document to your required business document.
To verify you can check the archivelink table or by transaction OAAD.
Hope this will help you.

How much documents are therein the database maxdb???

Hi,
My boss wants to know how many documents are in the database......how can I know???
Thanks in advance!!
Nerea.

Hello Nerea,
first of all it would be good to know which application you are using.
Are you talking about a content server?
We could tell you how many rows are in which table - but I'm not sure if that corresponds to your documents.
It might be best to check with the application, how and where they store these docments.

Melanie

Is there any command/query/etc, which would allow to understand what database objects (for example tables) are consuming memory and how much of it?

TimesTen Release 11.2.1.9.6 (64 bit Linux/x86_64)
Command> dssize;
PERM_ALLOCATED_SIZE:      51200000
PERM_IN_USE_SIZE: 45996153
PERM_IN_USE_HIGH_WATER:   50033464
TEMP_ALLOCATED_SIZE:      2457600
TEMP_IN_USE_SIZE:         19680
TEMP_IN_USE_HIGH_WATER:   26760
Is there any command/query/etc, which would allow to understand what database objects (for example tables) are consuming memory and how much of it?
tried to use ttsize function, but it gives some senseless results – for example, for the biggest table, tokens, it produces following output (that this table is 90GB in size – what physically cannot be true):
Command> call ttsize('tokens',null,null);
< 90885669274.0000 >
1 row found.

Are you able to use the command line version of ttSize instead? This splits out how much space is being used by indexes (in the Temp section of the TT memory segment), which I think is being combined into one, whole figure in the procedure version of ttSize you're using. For example:
ttSize -tbl ia my_ttdb
Rows = 4
Total in-line row bytes = 17524
Total = 17524
Command> create index i1 on ia(a);
ttSize -tbl ia my_ttdb;
Rows = 4
Total in-line row bytes = 17524
Indexes:
Range index JSPALMER.I1 adds 5618 bytes
Total index bytes = 5618
Total = 23142
Command> call ttsize ('ia',,);
< 23142.0000000000 >
1 row found.
In 11.2.2 we added the procedure ttComputeTabSizes which populates system tables with detailed table size data, and was designed to be an alternative to ttSize. Unfortunately it still doesn't calculate index usage though, and it isn't in 11.2.1.

How to move database objects from one user to another user

Could someone help how to move database objects from one user to another user
Thanks in advance

Thanks a lot for the reply.
Actually I wanted to know whether there is any command to change the owner ship of the table.
For ex table1 belongs to user1. can the owner of table1 to be changed to owner2.
directly using an oracle command. I knew that it can be done using import and export, since the table was 200 million thought the rename command would be faster instead of import and export.
Thanks Billy for letting me know that it is not possible using oracle query.

How to get the List of Database Objects (Table/View) for a given APEX Page.

Hi,
I have an application and that consist of pages like page1,2,3,.....
*1.* I want a report which can give me the list of all the Pages1,2,3,....
I am using the following query to acheive this.... THIS IS FINE..
select a.workspace, a.owner, a.application_name, b.page_id, b.page_name
from apex_applications a,
apex_application_pages b
where a.workspace = b.workspace
and a.application_id = b.application_id*2. Now, I want for each individual page*, the list all the database objects (tables/views), which that page is using.
I am using ALL_DEPENDENCIES , but I am not getting the result.
So, want to know if there any view/table, where I can get the Application Pages & there database object list...
Thanks,
Deepak

Hari,
Thanks for the response.
The view APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_DB_ITEMS will only give me the table name related to any Page Items defined to that page..It will not give me all the database objects..
suppose we have a Page, having a report based on multiple tables and there is no Page items defined on that page, we will not have any value in this ....DB_ITEMS table. same thing if we have define some PL|SQL(using some table/view) in a Process, that will not be populated in .....DB_ITEMS table. I want some thing like all the database objects (table/views/function/procedure/.....) for a particular Page ID.
Thanks,
Deepak
