How to drop a partitioned column in a table

Hi All,
I am trying to drop a column which is partitioned into 4 values.
When I use the command
ALTER TABLE TNAME DROP COLUMN CNAME;
I am getting an error message stating that cannot drop a parttioned column.
ALTER TABLE fn_dev_excpt DROP COLUMN THEATER_ID
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12984: cannot drop partitioning column
Appreciate your help on this,
Thanks,
Madhu K.

Hi,
Can you please drop the partition itself using the below command.Dropping of column which is partitioned is not alllowed.
SELECT table_name, partition_name
FROM user_tab_partitions;
ALTER TABLE range_list DROP PARTITION s2k ;
where table_name=range_list ,
partition_name=s2k
Best regards,
Rafi.

    Hi,
    I'm not sure if I understood what are you trying to do. But you can modify your table in a backing bean code. JSF page code for a table:
    <af:table id="product_search_results_tbl" binding="#{backingBean.boundTable}" ... />
    And a backing bean code:
    import oracle.adf.view.faces.component.core.data.CoreTable;
    public class YourBackingBean {
        private CoreTable boundTable;
        public void setBoundTable(CoreTable boundTable) {
            this.boundTable = boundTable;
        public CoreTable getBoundTable() {
            return boundTable;
       public String insertButtonAction() {
          // Bind your button action to this method and modify here your bound table
         return null;
    {code}
    Look for column modification methods in a CoreTable class documentation.

  • How to create DB partitioning in active data tables for ods?

    hi all,
    Can anyone let me know how to create DB partitioning in active data tables for ods. if any docs pls share with me at my email id : [email protected]
    regds
    haritha

    Haritha,
    The following steps will briefly explain you to improve the performance in terms of DB partitioning as well as loading. Please find the same,
    transaction RSCUSTA2,
    oss note 120253 565725 670208
    and remove 'bex reporting' setting in ods if that ods not used for reporting.
    hope this helps.
    565725
    Symptom
    This note contains recommendations for improving the load performance of ODS objects in Business Information Warehouse Release 3.0B and 3.1 Content.
    Other terms
    Business Information Warehouse, ODS object, BW, RSCUSTA2, RSADMINA
    Solution
    To obtain a good load performance for ODS objects, we recommend that you note the following:
    1. Activating data in the ODS object
    In the Implementation Guide in the BW Customizing, you can implement different settings under Business Information Warehouse -> General BW settings -> Settings for the ODS object that will improve performance when you activate data in the ODS object.
    1. Creating SIDs
    The creation of SIDs is time-consuming and may be avoided in the following cases:
    a) You should not set the indicator for BEx Reporting if you are only using the ODS object as a data store.Otherwise, SIDs are created for all new characteristic values by setting this indicator.
    b) If you are using line items (for example, document number, time stamp and so on) as characteristics in the ODS object, you should mark these as 'Attribute only' in the characteristics maintenance.
    SIDs are created at the same time if parallel activation is activated (see above).They are then created using the same number of parallel processes as those set for the activation. However:if you specify a server group or a special server in the Customizing, these specifications only apply to activation and not the creation of SIDs.The creation of SIDs runs on the application server on which the batch job is also running.
    1. DB partitioning on the table for active data (technical name:
    The process of deleting data from the ODS object may be accelerated by partitioning on the database level.Select the characteristic after which you want deletion to occur as a partitioning criterion.For more details on partitioning database tables, see the database documentation (DBMS CD).Partitioning is supported with the following databases:Oracle, DB2/390, Informix.
    1. Indexing
    Selection criteria should be used for queries on ODS objects.The existing primary index is used if the key fields are specified.As a result, the characteristic that is accessed more frequently should be left justified.If the key fields are only partially specified in the selection criteria (recognizable in the SQL trace), the query runtime may be optimized by creating additional indexes.You can create these secondary indexes in the ODS object maintenance.
    1. Loading unique data records
    If you only load unique data records (that is, data records with a one-time key combination) into the ODS object, the load performance will improve if you set the 'Unique data record' indicator in the ODS object maintenance.
    Hope this helps..

  • How to change the partition type on a table with data

    Hi
    I have a table, which is partitioned by list on date column. The table contains large volume of data.
    My requirement is to make the list partition into range on the same date column.
    I am working on Oracle10g
    Kindly advice

    partitioned by list on date How many distinct DATE values do you have ? Each DATE value would be a Partition in List Partitioning.
    Why do you need to convert this to RANGE Partitioning ? How many DATE values do you expect in the table in the future ?
    You can use DBMS_REDIFINITION to copy a LIST Partitioned Table to a RANGE Partitioned Table and then switch the tables at the end.
    See examples (where the source table is not partitioned)
    http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/misc/partitioning-an-existing-table.php
    http://uhesse.com/2010/02/15/partitioning-a-table-online-with-dbms_redefinition/
    But before converting I would justify why a LIST Partitioned Table be converted to RANGE Partitioned. Do you have Date-Range queries ?

    hi jim
    if you carefully look inside the form field's you will find the logic of sort . if you remove that you will get the data without any sorting order.

    Thanks SreeKanth

    Hi,
    looks like you are on Infomation Builders, correct? If yes through which adapter and to what DB are you connecting?? in an R3/BW system you can do the folowing:
    "(ABAP)
    SELECT DISTINCT FIELDNAME
    FROM DD03L
    WHERE TABNAME = '/BIC/QPERSON'
      AND AS4LOCAL = 'A'
      AND KEYFLAG = 'X'
    ORDER BY 1
    Another option is goto directly to the RDBMS; in this case let me which one are you using
    hope this helps...

  • How to insert filename as column in external table.

    I have an external table that is made up by number of different files. I would like to add a new column in the table to store the actual external filename. How can this be done?
    thanks in advanced

    That's going to be a problem, then. The ISO 8859-1 character set doesn't support that character, so you cannot store a ™ in a CHAR or VARCHAR2 column in your database.
    Potentially, you could use an NCHAR or NVARCHAR2 column, depending on your national character set. Using the national character set, though, can cause other problems, particularly for front-end applications that may not fully support those data types.
    You could also potentially change your existing character set to something that does support that character, but that may be a rather involved sort of change.

  • How to populate the organization_code column in ST table for legacy system

    Hi, dear all,
    Now I use the stage table to load the setup&transaction collection data from a non-EBS legacy system to ASCP system.
    My question is: how to populate the organization_code column in the stage table？If the source system is EBS system, maybe it's an inventory organization code. But for the non-EBS system, which value is need fo this field? keep it as blank? or assign some value for it?
    Thanks
    Edited by: 852938 on 2011-5-4 下午10:24

    I find some words in the implementation guide, it says:"To collect data from your non-Oracle ERP systems or your trading partners' systems,you model each non-Oracle ERP system or trading partner as an Oracle Applications organization and store their setup and transaction data there".
    But I can't find where to model the application organization for the legacy system.
    anyone can give some clues? Thanks in advance.

  • How to get invoice status column in ap_invoice_all table

    how to get the invoice_status column like "NEEDS RE VALIDATION"      in account payables tables.

    The invoice approval status does not come from any table / lookup.
    Instead, Oracle builds it by calling the ap_invoices_pkg.get_approval_status function.
    You can also call it by passing invoice_id, payment_status_flag and invoice_type_lookup_code.
    All these 4 columns are present on the ap_invoices_all record.

  • How to detect an AUTO_INCREMENT column in a table of PostgreSQL DB?

    Hello,
    I need to detect an AUTO_INCREMENT column in a table of PostgreSQL DB.
    Note : PostgreSQL uses sequence number to create an AUTO_INCREMENT column.
    From a ResultSetMetaData, I call the methode isAutoIncrement(int index) which returns true if the column index is AUTO_INCREMENT.
    But it doesnt work..
    Any idea about that?
    Thank for your attention.
    Sopheap

    That's how you do it.
    However, I've found that metadata calls don't always work completely with my Sybase installation. You'll have to read up on the JDBC driver and see if that feature is supported for your environment.
