Indexing ORDSignatures
I have an installation of Oracle 9i Standard on WinXP upon which I have a set of valid ORDImages and valid ORDSignatures in a table.
I wish to index the ORDSignatures in order to perform colour/pattern matching at a reasonable speed. I have done this before on 8i Enterprise Edition, and indeed in development on 9i Enterprise Edition.
However... in 9i Standard when I attempt to create the index I get the error:
"ORA-00439: Feature not enabled: Bit-mapped indexes".
Either I've got a silly installation (in which case please just tell me, it does happen) or ...
Oracle's licensing policy is missing something here since if interMedia is included in 9i Standard including the Image/Pattern Matching and yet it's content is not indexable then it does rather defeat the object doesn't it?
I am presuming here from the error message that an ORDSignature index requires a feature not included with Standard ed, although the Oracle feature list doesn't say intermedia requires bitmap indexes as a pre-requisite.
Any info/thoughts appreciated,
Jason "Images are just another data type" Kane.
Hi Jason,
This is the case. All features of interMedia work with Standard edition except image indexing. As you have observed, indexing of ORDImageSignature requires Bit-mapped indexes which are only available with Enterprise Edition.
This information is documented, but we need to make this information more prominent.

Which to use - Sy-index or sy-tabix ??
This is what i found out about SY-INDEX and SY-TABIX but which one to use when i want to delete a line of data from an internal table ? I tried both sy-index and sy-tabix and both works fine and returning the expected output for me but which one is better of to use ?
SY-TABIX :- For Internal Table, Current Line Index
SY-INDEX :- For Loops, Current Loop Pass
The below code is where i uses the Delete ..
LOOP AT dmg.
CONCATENATE
dmg-dmg00
dmg-dmg01
dmg-dmg02
dmg-dmg03
dmg-dmg04
dmg-dmg07
dmg-dmg08
dmg-dmg09 INTO tli_down1 SEPARATED BY '*'.
APPEND tli_down1. CLEAR tli_down1.
DELETE dmg INDEX sy-index.
EXIT.
ENDLOOP.Right. Just like what they said upstairs, sy-babix is the best choice.
One more thing is, if you want to concatenate fields of table dmg and append to tli_down1 on by one. You should not use EXIT after delete dmg.
In that case ,only one line can be appended into tli_down1 table.

Index's on cubes or Aggregates on infoobjects
Hello,
Please tell me if it is possible to put index's on cubes; are they automatically added or is this something I put on them?
I do not understand index's are they like aggregates?
Need to find info that explains this.
Thanks for the hlep.
NewbieIndexes are quite different from aggregates.
An Aggregate is a slice of a cube which helps the data retrival on a faster note when a query is executed on a cube. Basically it is kind of a snapshot of KPI's and Business Indicators (Chars) which will be displayed as the initial query run result.
Index is a process which is inturn will reduce the query response time. While an object gets activated, the system automatically create primary indexes. Optionaly, you can create additional index called secondary indexes.Before loading data, it is advisable to delete the indexes and insert them back after the loading.
Indexes act like pointers for quickly geting the Data.When u delete it will delete indexes and when u create it will create the indexes.
When loading we delete Bcs during loading it has to look for existing Indexes and try to update so it will effect the Data load performence so we delete and create it will take less time when compared to updating the existing ones.
There is one more issue we have to take care if u r having more than 50 million records this is not a good practice insteah we can delete and create during week end when they r no users. -
LIKE, LIKEC and Index usage
I've table that contains about 20 million rows, and I've created index for varchar2(100) column. It works well if I do
SELECT * FROM MY_TABLE WHERE MY_COL LIKE 'FOO%';
But if I change query to use LIKEC (to make unicode escaped strings work):
SELECT * FROM MY_TABLE WHERE MY_COL LIKEC 'FOO%';
I always get full table scan in explain plan.
I tried to use NVARCHAR, or index created by TO_NCHAR but I always end up hitting full table scan.
Should I create index some special way or do something else before I get index working?Just a gut feeling : is the database using character semantics or byte semantics?
My gut feeling, after looking up the documentation, is it should be character semantics.
BTW: Not posting version info decreases the chance you get an adequate reply.

Index with "or" clause (BUG still exists?)
The change log for 2.3.10 mentions "Fixed a bug that caused incorrect query plans to be generated for predicates that used the "or" operator in conjunction with indexes [#15328]."
But looks like the Bug still exists.
I am listing the steps to-repro. Let me know if i have missed something (or if the bug needs to be fixed)

This is a completely different bug, relating to predicate expressions that do not examine nodes. Please try the following patch, to see if it fixes this bug for you:

Hi,
Can some body explain the CLEAR difference between Sy-index and Sy-tabix. And one or two small examples. I am little bit confused.
Thanx.Hi,
SY-INDEX
In a DO or WHILE loop, SY-INDEX contains the number of loop passes including the current pass.
SY-TABIX
Current line of an internal table. SY-TABIX is set by the statements below, but only for index tables. The field is either not set or is set to 0 for hashed tables.
APPEND sets SY-TABIX to the index of the last line of the table, that is, it contains the overall number of entries in the table.
COLLECT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the existing or inserted line in the table. If the table has the type HASHED TABLE, SY-TABIX is set to 0.
LOOP AT sets SY-TABIX to the index of the current line at the beginning of each loop lass. At the end of the loop, SY-TABIX is reset to the value that it had before entering the loop. It is set to 0 if the table has the type HASHED TABLE.
READ TABLE sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line read. If you use a binary search, and the system does not find a line, SY-TABIX contains the total number of lines, or one more than the total number of lines. SY-INDEX is undefined if a linear search fails to return an entry.
SEARCH <itab> FOR sets SY-TABIX to the index of the table line in which the search string is found.

ANY SY-INDEX REFLECT CHANGES WHEN CONTROL BREAK STATEMENT PROCESS
Dear Guru's,
I have a requirement where i have to move the values to variable when control break (AT END OF) process. So i want to move the values according to the end of Vendor so for that i want to know is there any sy-index available which reflects changes when Control break (AT end of) process.
LIKE Sy-subrc = 0 when select statement fetches record or sy-tabix is like counter for loop.
Hope to get reply soon.
Regards,
Himanshu RangappaHi,
There is no system Fields for it.
But your requirement can be done with 'AT NEW' and 'AT END' statement.
Refer this sample example,
loop at otab.
at new module.
move otab-module to otab2-module.
ENDAT.
at END OF effort.
sum. "Do your calculations here
move otab-count to otab2-count.
append otab2.
endat.
endloop. -

ABAP-- diff between sy-sy-tabix and sy-index
Hi Guru's,
Pleae can anybody expalins me what is the difference between sy-tabix and sy-index(Loop Index) ?
Because in one case i am Modifyimg the internal table inside the do loop by giving sy-index ((Index of Internal Tables)(MODIFY scarr_tab INDEX sy-index FROM scarr_wa TRANSPORTING currcode. ) in the syntax and in other case inside loop statement i am modifyng same record by giving sy-tabix MODIFY scarr_tab INDEX sy-tabix FROM scarr_wa TRANSPORTING currcode.) in the syntax.
in both cases its working fine but i am not getting which one i have to use where to modify the internal table?
regards
SATYAHi Henry,
SY-INDEX is the value of the current iteration. It is applicable for the following programming constructs in ABAP -
DO...ENDDO.
WHILE...ENDWHILE.
SY-TABIX (TABle IndeX) is applicable to internal tables. If you scroll down in the link which Eddie has given, you will find a more detailed explanation for sy-tabix and which statements affect its value.

What is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix and where both are using ?
what is difference between sy-index and sy-tabix and where both are using ?
hi nagaraju
sy-tabix is in Internal table, current line index. So it can only be used while looping at the internal table.
sy-index is in Loops, number of current pass. This you can use in other loop statements also (like do-enddo loop, while-endwhile)
SY-INDEX is a counter for following loops: do...enddo, while..endwhile
SY-TABIX is a counter for LOOP...ENDLOOP, READ TABLE...
Here is an example from which you can understand the difference between sy-tabix and sy-index.
Itab is an internal table with the following data in it.
id Name
198 XYZ
475 ABC
545 PQR.
loop at itab where id > 300.
write :/ itab-id, itab-name , sy-tabix, sy-index.
endloop.
My output will be :
475 ABC 2 1
545 PQR 3 2
Sy-tabix is the index of the record in internal table.
sy-index gives the no of times of loop passes.
So, for the first record in the output (475 ABC), 2 is the index of the record in internal table and as it is first time loop pass occured, sy-index value is 1.
