How to drop a temp table in bi publisher

Hi
We are using Bi publisher 10g with sybase and we have a query which uses temporary table
Below is the sample T-sql query
Ex :
Select column1,column2 into temp_table from table1
Select column1 from temp_table
drop temp_table
We are not able to drop the temp_table in bi publisher. We tried using functions to place them in 'After Trigger' of bip but the sybase function does not allow 'Drop' command to be used in it.
Also, Does 'exec' command work on bip?
Can some one please suggest a solution

Yes that is the only option which we can stop a running report in BI Publisher
I suspect you'll need to ask your DBA to kill the session.
However, if you have DBA privileges yourself, you can do this by a few methods, some of which are described here:

Mark if helps,

How to drop/remove temporary tables from TempDB

Hi,
I do have multiple temp tables with same prefix but with different code at the end. How do i drop them i am sure there is no active connections to it as the created date is from two months ago. I am currently using SQL Server 2005 Sp2 version want to know
if its a bug in that version as the temp tables are not being dropped.
1.The temp tables are being created in Stored procedure
2. The stored procedure is being executed by a sql agent job
3. The sql agent job keeps failing as the stored proc fails half way thru the code
4. Does it not drop the temp tables if the stored proc is being executed by agent job and fails ? does it not consider as session closed ?
Please let me know if needed any more details on it.
Thanks, Sri The journey is what brings us happiness not the destination―Dan Millman

Hi Uri..
Yes, thats what i have read but i still have ten temp tables with same prefix and different session code at the end . I am sure there are no open/active sessions tied to them .want to know if there is a bug with SQL server 2005 SP2 version ?
I am executing the stored proc using SQL Agent job so when it fails does it end the session ? if not how do i do it ?
if i add the below query to the proc does it drop rest of the old temp tables ?
IF EXISTS (
SELECT *
FROM sys.tables
WHERE name LIKE '#temp%')
DROP TABLE #temp

How to create a temp table in the memory, not in disk?

in sql server, you can create a temp table in the memory instead of disk,
then you can do the insert, delete,update and select on it.
after finishing, just release it.
in Oracle,
I am wonderfing how to create a temp table in the memory, not in disk?
thanks,

Thanks for rectifying me Howard.
I just read your full article on this too and its very well explained here:
http://www.dizwell.com/prod/node/357
Few lines from your article
It is true, of course, that since Version 8.0 Oracle has provided the ability to create a Keep Pool in the Buffer Cache, which certainly sounds like it can do the job... especially since that word 'keep' is used again. But a keep pool is merely a segregated part of the buffer cache, into which you direct blocks from particular tables (by creating them, or altering them, with the BUFFER POOL KEEP clause). So you can tuck the blocks from such tables out of the way, into their own part of the buffer cache... but that is not the same thing as guaranteeing they'll stay there. If you over-populate the Keep Pool, then its LRU mechanism will kick in and age its contents out just as efficiently as an unsegregated buffer cache would.
Functionally, therefore, there can be no guarantees. The best you can do is create a sufficiently large Keep Pool, and then choose the tables that will use it with care such that they donâ€™t swamp themselves, and start causing each other to age out back to disk.
Thanks and Regards

HOW TO create a temp table or a record group at run time

i have a a tabular form and i dont want to allow the user entering duplicate
records while he is in insert mode and the inserted records are new and not exsisting in the database.
so i want to know how to create a temp table or a record group at run time to hold the inserted valuse and compare if they are exsiting in previous rows or no.
please help!

As was stated above, there are better ways to do it. But if you still wish to create a temporary block to hold the inserted records, then you can do this:
Create a non-database block with items that have the same data types as the database table. When the user creates a new record, insert the record in the non-database block. Then, before the commit, compare the records in the non-database block with those in the database block, one at a time, item by item. If the record is not a duplicate, copy the record to the database block. Commit the records, and delete the records in the non-database block.

How to create the temp table in Sybase with values from Excel ?

Dear Sir/Madam,
I know this is not related with oracle DB, however i am in the need of help from you people who worked on Sybase. plz help me..
I have the excel sheet which contains EmpId and EmpName values. I just wanted to read these two values one by one from an excel sheet and loaded them into one temp table in Sybase. is it possible thru sqlldr ?
here is the sample code for your reference:
begin tran
create table tempdb..empIdName (emp_id int identity,emp_name varchar(50))
go
Awaiting for your valuable reply
thanks
pannar

there is some hint provided by sybase user
If it's Sybase IQ, you can export the excel file to a CSV file, then use a LOAD TABLE statement to get the data into your temporary table.
For ASE, BCP would provide similar functionality.
I am using ISQLW tool to work with sybase DB. what query to load the excel data to tem table in sybase. anyone who knows this? help me

How to work on temp table in oracle 10g

Hi Guys,
I have one simple procedure and it is returning some records through dbms_output.put_line.
cursor c1 is select object_name from t_Turbo;
type c1_type is table of c1%rowtype;
rec1 c1_type;
begin
open c1;
loop
fetch c1 bulk collect into rec1 limit 200;
for i in 1..rec1.count loop
dbms_output.put_line(rec1.i);
end loop;
exit when c1%notfound;
end loop;
end;
Now i am plaing to use temp table at dmbs_output.put_line in place and from there I want to select the records.
Can any one help me on this.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
KLR

This is what you need.
create or replace procedure test ( pRet out sys_refcursor )
as
begin
open pRet for select object_name from t_Turbo;
end;SYS_REFCURSOR is a cursor type defined by oracle. You can define your owner.

Creating and Dropping a temporary table in Bi publisher?

Hi all.
My database is sybase.
I created a new data set in BI publisher where it creates a temporary table,
uses that temp table in a select query and then I dropped the temporary table.
I wrote all these 3 SQL statements in a single dataset.
This is executed for the first time with out any errors.
The second time I am tryiong to run the report..It says It cannot create temp table as it has one temp table with the same name.
When I execute the same query in my database (SQL developer) this works. But not working in BI publisher.
Please suggest.

I came across this thread...in this forum while looking for a solution..
Can i create temporary table with BI Publisher ?
If we have to use a data template...Does the function in data trigger necessarily needs to be a PL/SQL function? because..we donot use oracle database. we use T-SQL to write queries..

Use of Oracle global temp table in BI Publisher

Hi All,
I have witten a function which populates a Gobal temp table.I call the function and do a select on the global temp table.This fails to give me any result.
We are calling the function within the package in the 'beforeReport' trigger in our Data Template in BI Publisher.
I tried to check the session id and found that the sessions are different when we execute the functiona and when we do a select query.
How can I avoid this situation of changing session?
I have tried by removing commit from the function but even thta didnt help.
Please let me know if anyone has suugestion on this.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
To check if the function is working fine , we inserted the output from temp table into a normal physical table .We queried the physical table and found the values there.
So , the function is working fine.
We dont have any statement like 'PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION ' in our function.
Do we need to add it?
Just to clarify the issue , We have populated the temp table by calling a function and after that we are trying to query the temp table.However, it appears that the session changes between teh function call and issuing of select query .This is resultin into no data being fetched as the values in Gloabal temp table persist only for a session.
Thanks!

How to drop a temporary table?

Hi ,
I try to create e temprary table with
create global temporary table My_table_name ( ..... ) ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS ;
All is OK.
I try this step:
insert into My_Table_name select ..... ;
All is OK.
After this I try :
delete from My_table_name ;
All is OK.
But if I try to make:
drop table My_table_name , Oracle reports that I can not drop this table ( the table is in use).
Where is the problem?
Many thanks in advance.
null

Hi,
You have created a session specific table which will only be dropped when you come out of the session. if you want to drop in the same session try using on commit delete rows that is the transaction specific table.

How do I CREATE IF NOT EXISTS Temp table in PLSQL?

hello, how do I CREATE IF NOT EXISTS Temp table in PLSQL? The following table is to be created in FIRST call inside a recursive function (which you'll see in QUESTION 2).
QUESTION 1:
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE TmpHierarchyMap
                              Id numeric(19,0) NOT NULL,
                              ParentId numeric(19,0) NOT NULL,
                              ChildId numeric(19,0) NOT NULL,
... more ...
                         ) on commit delete rows');
QUESTION 2: How to return a temp table from a function?
For example, this is how I'm doing it at the moment, using Nested Table.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TmpHierarchyMapObjType AS OBJECT
               Id numeric(19,0) ,
               ParentId numeric(19,0),
               ChildId numeric(19,0),
... more ...
     EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE TmpHierarchyMapTableType AS TABLE OF TmpHierarchyMapObjType;';
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION fnGetParentsTable
ObjectId number,
ObjectClassifier varchar2
RETURN TmpHierarchyMapTableType
IS
TmpHierarchyMap TmpHierarchyMapTableType := TmpHierarchyMapTableType();
ThisTempId varchar2(32);
CURSOR spGetParents_cursor IS
SELECT
Id,
ParentId,
ChildId,
FROM TMP_HIERARCHYMAP
WHERE TempId = ThisTempId;
BEGIN
SELECT sys_guid() INTO ThisTempId FROM dual;
spRecursiveGetParents(ObjectId, ObjectClassifier, ThisTempId);
FOR oMap in spGetParents_cursor LOOP
TmpHierarchyMap.Extend();
TmpHierarchyMap(TmpHierarchyMap.Count) := TmpHierarchyMapObjType( oMap.Id
, oMap.ParentId
, oMap.ChildId
END LOOP;
DELETE FROM TMP_HIERARCHYMAP WHERE TempId = ThisTempId;
RETURN TmpHierarchyMap;
END fnGetParentsTable;
QUESTION 3: what does the word GLOBAL means? I read that temp table is visible only to a particular database connection/session and will be dropped automatically on termination of the session. i can only find this information in some forum discussion but failed to locate this in Oracle doc, can someone point me in right direction please?
Many thanks!

You create the GTT once on your database outside of the function and then just leave it there and use it.
Tables should not be dynamically created and dropped.
Only other database engines such as SQL Server use the concept of creating temporary tables during the execution of code. Oracle uses a "create once, use whenever" methodology.

How to use temp table/variable

Hello,
It's SQL 2008 R2. I need to bring data from Oracle using .Net Providers/ODBC Data Provider to MS SQL table converting Oracle UTC dates to PST. The source connection type cannot be changed as it's given. For the Destination I'm using the OLE DB.
As the truncate all and load could take time I'm trying to use a temp table or a variable to use it further with t-sql merge or not exists to bring/add the only new records to the destination table.
I'm trying different scenarios that is all failed.
Scenario A:
1. In DTF after OLE DB Source I'm using the Derived Colum to convert dates. It's working well.
2. Then use Recordset Destination with an object variable User::obj_TableACD. It's also working well.
3. Then I created a string variable with a simple query that I could modify later "select * from " + (DT_WSTR,10)@[User::obj_TableACD] trying to get data from the recordset object variable but it's not working.
Scenario B:
1. Created a store procedure to create a temp table.
2. Created a string variable to execute SP str_CreateTempTable: "EXEC dbo.TempTable". It's working well with the SQL Task with SQLSourceType as Variable.
3. Then how to populate the temp table from the Oracle source to bring data into the Destination?
I could spend another few days to figure it out. So, please help me on it if there is a way to solve it.
Thanks

Thank you so much, Nitesh. Now, I got the understanding of temp tables in SSIS. However, in my case to implement t-sql merge or not exists to bring the new records only I'd need to load at least a one table into a temp table anyway. So, why not to use a
destination table instead. I also noticed a one remark from the article you suggested that the expert who wrote the article had never actual used the temp tables in SSIS.
So, I decided to go with truncate, drop keys, derive columns, load, and create keys again in the destination table.
Thank you again, I'll reserve the knowledge I got for the temp SSIS tables for some other cases.

Table or Object type - like #temp table in SQL Server

Hi
I need to create a temp table to hold certain data and then validate. What is the best way to do this oracle. Something similar to #temp tables in SQL Server.
Thanks

IN Oracle, you create the temporary table once, before you start your program. Then anyone can use that definition, but the system keeps the data isolated to eachr/session.
The difference in using Oracle: all DDL, including creating temp tables, performs commits and aquires locks that you want to avoid. It creates unnecessary serialization, causes transactional consistency issues and puts Oracle's Read Consistent model at risk (of ORA-01555 errors).
So, you (or the DBA) would "CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE ..." with the appropriate definition you want, and indicate whether you want the data deleted on commit, or on logoff.
Then you write your procedure, similar to the way you would do it in SQL Server, but you would not bracket it with creating/dropping the temp table - no need.

Cached temp tables

Hi
in Oracle 10g you can specify a CACHE option for temporary tables. It does show up too when you look at DBA_TABLES. I wonder does it actually make any difference in the way it functions, in fact I would like the table to be cached (maybe not in SGA, but in some other PGA area perhaps).
Any input is welcome
Regards
Andrew

I just discovered that there was an SP1 release of WebLogic 6.1. This release
includes a configuration to specify the number of cached statements per conection,
which can be set to zero.
Thanks for your time.

As mentioned yesterday, if you create database objects dynamically, you have to query them dynamically.
For example, you could use the DBMS_SQL package, which offers one of the most flexible ways of dyanamic queries..
