How to retrieve the number of "free" rows in a table?

Hi,
if in a client only environment (no sync to mobile server) rows are inserted and deleted into a table,
is there a way to retrieve the number of "free" rows in a table? Number of "Free" rows stands for
number of rows that can be inserted again, before the table extents in size.
Is there a way in OLite 10.3.0.2.0 to retrieve the size of tables and indexes? ALL_TABLES is not
a place that really works.
Best regards and many thanks,
Gerd

Hi Gary,
many thanks, the partner uses a Lite client db without sync. The db runs inside an laboratory device and collects measures. There must be a way to estimate the the number of "measures" rows, that stil can be stored in the db.
Than we need to make the deleted space available for new rows. The partner tested defrag.exe and found that it
needs very long time to run, especially if the db is bigger than 2GB. ... and that this run sometimes fails.
Is there any recommendation the partner can follow on?
Thanks,
Gerd

Hi,
you can find the number of columns and their order using
the <b>'REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'</b>
call function 'REUSE_ALV_FIELDCATALOG_MERGE'

Result Set - How to retrieve the number of rows in resultset

harlo....everyone.
i m new in this language and would like to ask that how can i store the result into an array or u all hav others ideal to do it......? Hopefully can get answer asap....thanksssss.
Below is the source code that i did. Please comment it
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("Select CCourse_Code from RegisteredCourse, Student where Student.NStud_ID ='123'and Student.CStud_Pwd='123' and Student.NStud_ID = RegisteredCourse.NStud_ID ");
if(rs!=null){
// can i get the the number of records in resultset, rs to define my array size
String course[] = new String[2];
while(rs.next()){
for(int i =0; i<course.length; i++)
course[i] = rs.getString("ccourse_code");
return course;

Or...
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("Select count(CCourse_Code) from RegisteredCourse, Student where Student.NStud_ID ='123'and Student.CStud_Pwd='123' and Student.NStud_ID = RegisteredCourse.NStud_ID ");
This should return a table with one row and one column. This will hold the number originally requested.
However I would still go with the ArrayList suggestion given above.

How to count the number of deleted rows processed

Sybase ASE version: 15.7-SP52
Hi all,
I have a delete statement that will potentially delete millions of rows
DELETE from TAB_A where COL_A='Y'
The delete is long, at some point I'd like to know how many rows were deleted.
If I do SELECT COUNT(*) from TAB_A where COL_A='Y', the query should be locked because of the exclusive-lock held by the DELETE in progress.
If this is the case, how can I actually count the number of rows deleted so far?
Thanks all
Simon

Simon
For deleting significant number of rows best practice is to delete rows in small batches of known size (e.g. 10 K) inside a while loop.
This keeps transaction log from filling up as well.
Also between two iterations of delete you can give some wait to make sure that you do not monopolize the server. Sleep could be for a fixed number of seconds (e.g. 5) or for randomized number say from 1 to whatever makes sense.
Typically "set rowcount " is used to set up the batch size and "waitfor delay" to sleep between iterations.
Global variable @@rowcount gives yo actual rows deleted. For the last batch this may be lower than the batch size you set up.

How to calculate the percentage of free space for a table in Oracle

okay, I am a little confused here. I have been searching the web and looking at a lot of documents. What I basically want to find out is this, how do I calculate the difference between the number of bytes a table is using and the total bytes allocated to a table space (going that way to get percent free for a particular table). So I need a byte count of a table and total table space and the percentage difference. I have been looking at the DBA_TABLES DBA_TABLESPACES and DBA_SEGMENTS views. I have tried to calculated the space as num_rows * avg_row_len (if I am wrong, let me know). I have been trying to compare that calculation to the number in DBA_TABLESPACES and DBA_SEGMENTS. I am just looking for the total space allocated to the table space that the table sits in (seem logical right now) to make the percentage value work. Thus I want to be able to track the table as it grows as compated to the table space it sits in to see a value as it changes over time (days, weeks, etc.) each time I run this script I am working on.
Can someone get me straight and help me to find out if I am looking in the right places. Any advice would help.

You can use a little modified version of dbms_space from Tom, show_space. Have a look,

I use this to find the space allocations.
Just read your post again,this is not going to show you the percentage of the free/used space. This is going to be the number of blocks which are free/used. For the growth trend, you can look at (in 10g) Oracle EM. It has added now,Segment Growth Trend report which can show you for each object,comparing to the allocated space to the object,how much space is being used by it.

How to get the values of all rows in advanced table

HI All,
I am using an advanced table to enter the values for the service contract line (its a custom page)in that advanced table i ahave column with lov called task number for that task number once i had choosed one task number and creating one more row using add anethor row button i want to restrict the user to not to choose the task number which was entered in the previus row.
Or if this is not possible i want to restrict the user by showing an error message when click on the submit button by saying you have choosed the duplicate task number please choose a uniqu task number
please give some hints
thanks
ajay

Hi
your approach will have two steps
1.) use the row refernce and get the value of task number of the row which is enterd by user .
2.) use getRows in range and compare values of task number of every row with the user selected value ,if value match then throw error.
Thanks

How to reduce the number of data blocks used by table

Hi,
I was trying to reduce the space usage of a particular table of my apex application which stores blob content and therefore deleted many records from it.
However, the data block usage remained the same as before.
I have tried to 'analyze' the table and validate the structure,but am unable to overcome this problem.
Could someone throw some light on what needs to be to reduce the number of data blocks used by this table?
Best Regards,
Priya Jetley

Priya:
It is likely that the BLOB content defined in your table is being stored 'Out-of-Line'. This means that the LOB columns are stored in segments of their own. These then are the segments that may need shrinking.

DB Update - How to Return the Number of Affected Rows?

I created a DB Adapter that updates a record. I'd like to know if there is a way to return the affected number of rows. Currently, the DB Adapter Wizard seems not to create a return for the generated XSD.
Thanks,
Mark

> Is it by somehow possible to use some custom query
for this and use the 'returning'-clause to get the
results back from the DB-adapter. On these results
you can do some counts.
Thanks for your reply.
I have given a thought to that option too, however the issue is that, in order to use returning clause you have to use a temporary SQL variable which I believe can not be used unless we use a PL/SQL block (Please correct me, if I am wrong).
I wanted to get away with the option of re-querying the 'SELECT' or a PL/SQL Block. Any suggestions?
Thanks & regards

How to get the class from selected row in af:table

I know that you can get individual selcted row values from an af:table using getRow().getAttribute("attName").
But, can I obtain the class that the table iterator used to populate the table?
For instance, a table lists the result of an employee search that was bound to a session bean method returning List<Employee>.
After selecting the employee of interest and clicking a command button I want to access that instance of the Employee class to pass onto the session bean to do some stuff.
I don't want to hit the database to do it either (via a query on a key value for example) - the search iterator has already retrieved it, I just want to access it and do something with it.
Possible?
Thanks.

Hi,
if you use ADF try iterator.getCurrentRow().getDataProvider() on the binding container. If you use ADF Faces without then the Row object is the instance of your class

How to find the difference between 2 rows in a table

Hi all
I have a table say emp which has only 2 rows
emp
empno name age sex deptno
1 X 20 M 10
2 Y 21 M 20
The output should be
empno name age deptno
1 X 20 10
2 Y 21 20
Since the sex are same , so it is not included in the output.
thanks
Hari

Hi there rajkumar,
Although your lead solution is more elegant than the one presented below,
I believe the complete answer it would be:
with mytable as (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY EMPNO) POS, Z.* FROM (
select 1 empno, 'X' name, 20 age, 'M' sex, 10 deptno from dual
union
select 2, 'Y', 21, 'M', 20 from dual) Z
SELECT
DECODE(A.EMPNO,B.EMPNO,NULL,A.EMPNO) EMPNO,
DECODE(A.NAME,B.NAME,NULL,A.NAME) NAME,
DECODE(A.AGE,B.AGE,NULL,A.AGE) AGE,
DECODE(A.SEX,B.SEX,NULL,A.SEX) SEX,
DECODE(A.DEPTNO,B.DEPTNO,NULL,A.DEPTNO) DEPTNO
FROM
(SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE POS = 1) A,
(SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE POS = 2) B
UNION
SELECT
DECODE(B.EMPNO,A.EMPNO,NULL,B.EMPNO) EMPNO,
DECODE(B.NAME,A.NAME,NULL,B.NAME) NAME,
DECODE(B.AGE,A.AGE,NULL,B.AGE) AGE,
DECODE(B.SEX,A.SEX,NULL,B.SEX) SEX,
DECODE(B.DEPTNO,A.DEPTNO,NULL,B.DEPTNO) DEPTNO
FROM
(SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE POS = 1) A,
(SELECT * FROM mytable WHERE POS = 2) B
Your query indeed returns NULL in the column for which values are the same, but still, you get just the first row.
Anyway, the question is how to dinamically select the columns that hold NULL values, in the newly generated result. Because i believe the request is like this, if column holds equal values on both rows, then don't select the column (maybe i'm wrong).
If this is the case then just by one sql it will not solve your problem, it needs to be more, with sqlplus and some other scripts checking the values in the columns, if it's not null then set an operator, and in the end (in sqlplus)
select operator1, operator2 etc. from mytable.
Hope it helps,
Michael.
[All the above presented is based on the fact that you shall always have TWO rows to be compared, having more or less it will fail!]

Hi Paul,
I'm now able to save the retrieved xml in a hidden text field and create dynamic table, and I'm able to fill this table from the XML, but the problem is that I could not find the correct way to loop on the xml, what I'm trying to say, the table will have number of rows with the data of the first row only, so can you tell me the right way to loop on the xml!
this is my code

Well, I am not really sure, if you could accomplish this using customizing, but I am sure that you can accomplish this using the JDI. Well, you can extract the application's source code using JDI and then change the required display rows property and republish it.
Am not really sure if this is suggestable method for this requirement,but it can be achieved using this JDI stuff.

How to increase the number of rows to be displayed in BEx Web Analyzer

hi,
I am viewing reports using BEx Web analyzer option. It is displaying only 24 rows of data at a time. How to increase the number of rows? do i need to any kind of settings?
pls reply.

Hi,
I think the standard template in 2004s is named 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN. You can find it in Web Application Designer, open, and search for the technical name. If you want to change the number of rows or columns, you can find this setting near the bottom of the XHTML view of the template:
<bi:BLOCK_COLUMNS_SIZE value="4" />
<bi:BLOCK_ROWS_SIZE value="17" />
Then just save, and ignore the error messages.
