Interactive report on view based on pipelined table function.

Hi,
I want to build an Interactive Report on a view.
The view definition contains a select on a pipelined table function. I use context functionality to pass paramaters to the pipelined table function.
A plain select * from #my_view# in SqlPlus results in 121 different rows.
However, If I base my Interactive report on this view, I get 15 repeated rows (all the same).
Is it possible to use pipelined table functionality on an Interactive report? I can't seem to get it working.
If I use the following approach (http://rakeshjsr.blogspot.nl/2010/10/oracle-apex-interactive-report-based-on.html) I do get results, but I can't use this solution for a reason that's not relevant.

Hello,
Is it possible to use pipelined table functionality on an Interactive report? I can't seem to get it working. I have used it in one instance and it works fine. However I was passing the values to pipe-lined function directly.
IR Query..
SELECT * FROM TABLE(fn_pipeline(:P1_ITEM_NAME))Call pipe-lined function from IR query directly (instead of using view)
Try sending values to Pipe-lined function directly. In-case if the problem is with setting and getting values from the context?
Regards,
Hari

  • Want to update data in a view based on multiple tables

    Hi
    I am facing a problem i want to update data in tables using a view. As that view is based on multiple tables so i am unable to update data. i came to know we can update table from view only if view is based on single table. so if anyone knows any alternative please let me know.
    Thanx
    Devinder

    Devinder,
    The table can be updated through a view based on multiple tables, if and only if the table is a "key preserved" table. Rather than explaining myself, i avoided the burden of typing by finding the material in Oracle Docs and pasting it for you :-)
    If you want a join view to be updatable, all of the following conditions must be
    true:
    1. The DML statement must affect only one table underlying the join.
    2. For an INSERT statement, the view must not be created WITH CHECK
    OPTION, and all columns into which values are inserted must come from a
    key-preserved table. A key-preserved table in one for which every primary
    key or unique key value in the base table is also unique in the join view.
    3. For an UPDATE statement, all columns updated must be extracted from a
    key-preserved table. If the view was created WITH CHECK OPTION, join
    columns and columns taken from tables that are referenced more than once
    in the view must be shielded from UPDATE.
    4. For a DELETE statement, the join can have one and only one key-preserved
    table. That table can appear more than once in the join, unless the view was
    created WITH CHECK OPTION.

  • Strange behaviour of view based on several tables join with union all

    Dear fellows we r facing a strange problem we have a view based on several tables joined by union all ,when we issue an ordered query on date,rows returned are unusually different than they should be .
    Is oracle has some special behaviour for view based on union all ?
    I m using oracle 8.1.6 on windows 2000
    Kashif Sohail

    Did you ever solve this problem? I have two select statements based on 4 tables and 3 views using about 5 more tables. When I execute each select individually I get exactly what is expected. When I UNION ALL both selects together, I get "no rows returned", however when I UNION them I get exactly what is expected. I should get the same answer for both UNION ALL and UNION. The two select statements are identical, except for one column where I changed the constant to be different. Any thoughts?

  • Pipeline Table Function returning a fraction of data

    My current project involves migrating an Oracle database to a new structure based on the new client application requirements. I would like to use pipelined table functions as it seems as though that would provide the best performance.
    The first table has about 65 fields, about 75% of which require some type of recoding for the new app. I have written a function for each transformation and have all of these functions stored in a package. If I do:
    create new_table as select (
    pkg_name.function1(old_field1),
    pkg_name.function2(old_field2),
    pkg_name.function3(old_field3),
    it runs with out any errors but takes about 3 1/2 hours. There are a little more than 10 million rows in the table.
    I wrote a function that is passed the old table as a cursor, runs all the functions for the transformations and then pipes the new row back to the insert statement that called the function. It is incredibly fast but only returns .025% of the data (about 50 rows out of my sample table of 200,000). It does not throw any errors.
    So I am trying to determine what is going on. Perhaps one of my functions has a bug. If there was would cause the row to be kicked out? There are 40 or so functions so tracking this down has been a bit of a bear.
    Any advice as to how I might resolve this would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Dan

    . I would like to use pipelined table functions as it seems as though that would provide the best performanceUh huh...
    it runs with out any errors but takes about 3 1/2 hours. There are a little more than 10 million rows in the table.Not the first time a lovely theory has been killed by an ugly fact. Did you do any bench marks to see whether the pipelined functions did offer performance benefits over doing it some other way?
    From the context of your comments I think you are trying to a populate a new table from a single old table. Is this the case? If so I would have thought a straightforward CTAS with normal functions would be more appropriate: pipelined functions are really meant for situations in which one input produced more than one output. Anyway, ifr we are to help you I think you need to give us more details about how this process works and post a sample transformation function.
    There are 40 or so functions so tracking this down has been a bit of a bear.The teaching is: we should code one function and get that working before moving on to the next one. Which might not seem like a helpful thing to say, but the best lesson is often "I'll do it differently next time".

  • 10g: delay for collecting results from parallel pipelined table functions

    When parallel pipelined table functions are properly started and generate output record, there is a delay for the consuming main thread to gather these records.
    This delay is huge compared with the run-time of the worker threads.
    For my application it goes like this:
    main thread timing efforts to start worker and collect their results:
    [10:50:33-*10:50:49*]:JOMA: create (master): 015.93 sec (#66356 records, #4165/sec)
    worker threads:
    [10:50:34-*10:50:39*]:JOMA: create (slave) : 005.24 sec (#2449 EDRs, #467/sec, #0 errored / #6430 EBTMs, #1227/sec, #0 errored) - bulk #1 / sid #816
    [10:50:34-*10:50:39*]:JOMA: create (slave) : 005.56 sec (#2543 EDRs, #457/sec, #0 errored / #6792 EBTMs, #1221/sec, #0 errored) - bulk #1 / sid #718
    [10:50:34-*10:50:39*]:JOMA: create (slave) : 005.69 sec (#2610 EDRs, #459/sec, #0 errored / #6950 EBTMs, #1221/sec, #0 errored) - bulk #1 / sid #614
    [10:50:34-*10:50:39*]:JOMA: create (slave) : 005.55 sec (#2548 EDRs, #459/sec, #0 errored / #6744 EBTMs, #1216/sec, #0 errored) - bulk #1 / sid #590
    [10:50:34-*10:50:39*]:JOMA: create (slave) : 005.33 sec (#2461 EDRs, #462/sec, #0 errored / #6504 EBTMs, #1220/sec, #0 errored) - bulk #1 / sid #508
    You can see, the worker threads are all started at the same time and terminating at the same time: 10:50:34-10:50:*39*.
    But the main thread just invoking them and saving their results into a collection has finished at 10:50:*49*.
    Why does it need #10 sec more just to save the data?

    Note
       - dynamic sampling used for this statementI posted about it here a few years ago and I more recently posted a question on Asktom. Unfortunately Tom was not able to find a technical reason for it to be there so I'm still a little in the dark as to why it is needed. The original question I posted is here:
    Pipelined function partition by hash has extra sort#
    I ran your tests with HASH vs ANY and the results are in line with the observations above....

  • Parallel pipelined table function, autonomous_transaction to global tmp tab

    Hi,
    i try to speed up my parallel pipelined table function and switch from pl/sql collection to global temporary table inside.
    This requires to use PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION (and commit), because inserting into global temporary table (DML)
    within select - for invoking the table function - is not allowed without.
    As a consequence of commit it next requires to have on commit preserve rows for the global temporary table.
    Now:
    Inserts into the global temporary table are done - indicated by sql%rowcount.
    But a select afterwards doesn't show any record anymore.
    Here is a program to demonstrate it:
    set serveroutput on;
    drop type TestTableOfNumber_t;
    create or replace type TestTableOfNumber_t is table of number;
    drop type TestStatusList;
    drop type TestStatusObj;
    create or replace type TestStatusObj as object(
         sid number,
         ctr1 number,
         ctr2 number,
         ctr3 number
    create or replace type TestStatusList is table of TestStatusObj;
    drop table TestTmpTable;
    create global temporary table TestTmpTable (
         value     number
    ) on commit preserve rows;
    create or replace package test_pkg
    as
         type TestStatusRec is record (
              sid number,
              ctr1 number,
              ctr2 number,
              ctr3 number
         type TestStatusTab is table of TestStatusRec;
         function FillTmpTable(id in varchar2)
         return TestStatusRec;
         FUNCTION ptf (p_cursor  IN  sys_refcursor)
         RETURN TestStatusList PIPELINED
         PARALLEL_ENABLE(PARTITION p_cursor BY any);
    end;
    create or replace package body test_pkg
    as
         function FillTmpTable(id in varchar2)
         return TestStatusRec
         is
              PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
              result TestStatusRec;
              sid number;
              type ton is table of number;
              tids TestTableOfNumber_t := TestTableOfNumber_t();
              records number := 0;
         begin
              select userenv('SID') into sid from dual;
              result.sid := sid;
              delete from TestTmpTable;

                   tids.extend;
                   tids(tids.last) := i;
              end loop;
              forall i in 1..tids.count
                   insert into TestTmpTable (value) values (tids(i));
              -- get number of records inserted
              records := sql%rowcount;
              result.ctr1 := records;
              -- retrieve again before commit
              select count(*) into records from TestTmpTable;
              result.ctr2 := records;
              commit;
              -- retrieve again after commit
              select count(*) into records from TestTmpTable;
              result.ctr3 := records;
              return result;
         end;
           FUNCTION ptf (p_cursor  IN  sys_refcursor)
         RETURN TestStatusList PIPELINED
         PARALLEL_ENABLE(PARTITION p_cursor BY any)
         IS
              rec test_pkg.TestStatusRec;
              value number;
              sid number;
              ctr integer := 0;
         BEGIN
              select userenv('SID') into sid from dual;
              rec := FillTmpTable('IN PTF');
              LOOP
                   FETCH p_cursor into value;
                   EXIT WHEN p_cursor%NOTFOUND;
                   ctr := ctr + 1;     
              END LOOP;
              -- as a result i am only interested in the results of FillTmpTable():
              PIPE ROW (TestStatusObj(rec.sid, rec.ctr1, rec.ctr2, rec.ctr3));
                  RETURN;
         END;
    end;
    declare
         tons TestTableOfNumber_t;
         counts TestTableOfNumber_t;
         status test_pkg.TestStatusRec;
         statusList test_pkg.TestStatusTab;
    begin
         status := test_pkg.FillTmpTable('MAIN');
         dbms_output.put_line('main thread:'
              || ' sid #' || status.sid
              || ' / #' || status.ctr1 || ' inserted '
              || ' / #' || status.ctr2 || ' before commit'
              || ' / #' || status.ctr3 || ' after commit');     
         select value bulk collect into tons from TestTmpTable;
         select * bulk collect into statusList from TABLE(test_pkg.ptf(CURSOR(select /*+ parallel(tab,2) */ value from TestTmpTable tab)));
         for i in 1..StatusList.count loop
              dbms_output.put_line('worker thread #' || i  || ':'
              || ' sid #' || statusList(i).sid
              || ' / #' || statusList(i).ctr1 || ' inserted '
              || ' / #' || statusList(i).ctr2 || ' before commit'
              || ' / #' || statusList(i).ctr3 || ' after commit');
         end loop;
    end;
    /The output is:
    main thread: sid #881 / #100 inserted  / #100 before commit / #100 after commit
    worker thread #1: sid #421 / #100 inserted  / #0 before commit / #0 after commit
    worker thread #2: sid #321 / #100 inserted  / #0 before commit / #0 after commitThe 1st line is for the main thread invoking FillTmpTable().
    The next #2 lines are for the worker threads of the parallel pipelined table function for invoking the same FillTmpTable().
    For the main thread everything is as expected.
    But for the worker threads the logs for before commit and after commit both give #0 for the number of available records in the global temporary table.
    However all indicate #100 for the SQL insert
    regards,
    Frank

  • Using Pipeline Table functions with other tables

    I am on DB 11.2.0.2 and have sparingly used pipelined table functions but am considering it for a project that has some fairly big (lots of rows) sized tables. In my tests, selecting from just the pipelined table perform pretty well (whether it is directly from the pipleined table or the view I created on top of it). Where I start to see some degregation when I try to join the pipelined tabe view to other tables and add where conditions.
    ie:
    SELECT A.empno, A.empname, A.job, B.sal
    FROM EMP_VIEW A, EMP B
    WHERE A.empno = B.empno AND
          B.mgr = '7839'
    I have seen some articles and blogs that mention this as a cardinality issue, and offer some undocumented methods to try and combat.
    Can someone please give me some advice or tips on this. Thanks!
    I have created a simple example using the emp table below to help illustrate what I am doing.
    DROP TYPE EMP_TYPE;
    DROP TYPE EMP_SEQ;
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE EMP_SEQ AS OBJECT
           ( EMPNO                                         NUMBER(10),
             ENAME                                         VARCHAR2(100),
             JOB                                           VARCHAR2(100));
    CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE EMP_TYPE AS TABLE OF EMP_SEQ;
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION get_emp return EMP_TYPE PIPELINED AS
    BEGIN
      FOR cur IN (SELECT
                    empno,
                    ename,
                    job
                  FROM emp
             LOOP
               PIPE ROW(EMP_SEQ(cur.empno,
                                cur.ename,
                                cur.job));
             END LOOP;
             RETURN;
    END get_emp;
    create OR REPLACE view EMP_VIEW as select * from table(get_emp());
    SELECT A.empno, A.empname, A.job, B.sal
    FROM EMP_VIEW A, EMP B
    WHERE A.empno = B.empno AND
          B.mgr = '7839'

    I am on DB 11.2.0.2 and have sparingly used pipelined table functions but am considering it for a project that has some fairly big (lots of rows) sized tables
    Which begs the question: WHY? What PROBLEM are you trying to solve and what makes you think using pipelined table functions is the best way to solve that problem?
    The lack of information about cardinality is the likely root of the degradation you noticed as already mentioned.
    But that should be a red flag about pipelined functions in general. PIPELINED functions hide virtually ALL KNOWLEDGE about the result set that is produced; cardinality is just the tip of the iceberg. Those functions pretty much say 'here is a result set' without ANY information about the number of rows (cardinality), distinct values for any columns, nullability of any columns, constraints that might apply to any columns (foreign key, primary key) and so on.
    If you are going to hide all of that information from Oracle that would normally be used to help optimize queries and select the appropriate execution plan you need to have a VERY good reason.
    The use of PIPELINED functions should be reserved for those use cases where ordinary SQL and PL/SQL cannot get the job done. That is they are a 'special case' solution.
    The classic use case for those functions is for the transform stage of ETL where multiple pipelined functions are chained together: one function feeds its rows to the next function which feeds its rows to another and so on. Each of those 'chained' functions is roughly analogous to a full table scan of the data that often does not need to be joined to other data except perhaps low volumn lookup tables where the data may even be cached.
    I suggest that any exploratory or prototyping work you do use standard relational tables until such point as you run into a problem whose solution might require PIPELINED functions to solve.

  • Performance issues with pipelined table functions

    I am testing pipelined table functions to be able to re-use the <font face="courier">base_query</font> function. Contrary to my understanding, the <font face="courier">with_pipeline</font> procedure runs 6 time slower than the legacy <font face="courier">no_pipeline</font> procedure. Am I missing something? The <font face="courier">processor</font> function is from [url http://www.oracle-developer.net/display.php?id=429]improving performance with pipelined table functions .
    Edit: The underlying query returns 500,000 rows in about 3 minutes. So there are are no performance issues with the query itself.
    Many thanks in advance.

  • Query performance improvement using pipelined table function

    Hi,
    I have got two select queries one is like...
    select * from table
    another is using pielined table function
    select *
    from table(pipelined_function(cursor(select * from table)))
    which query will return result set more faster????????
    suggest methods for retrieving dataset more faster (using pipelined table function) than a normal select query.
    rgds
    somy

    Compare the performance between these solutions:
    create table big as select * from all_objects;
    First test the performance of a normal select statement:
    begin
      for r in (select * from big) loop
       null;
      end loop;
    end;
    /Second a pipelined function:
    create type rc_vars as object 
    (OWNER  VARCHAR2(30)
    ,OBJECT_NAME     VARCHAR2(30));
    create or replace type rc_vars_table as table of  rc_vars ;
    create or replace
    function rc_get_vars
    return rc_vars_table
    pipelined
    as
      cursor c_aobj
             is
             select owner, object_name
             from   big;
      l_aobj c_aobj%rowtype;
    begin
      for r_aobj in c_aobj loop
        pipe row(rc_vars(r_aobj.owner,r_aobj.object_name));
      end loop;
      return;
    end;
    /Test the performance of the pipelined function:
    begin
      for r in (select * from table(rc_get_vars)) loop
       null;
      end loop;
    end;
    /On my system the simple select-statement is 20 times faster.
    Correction: It is 10 times faster, not 20.

  • Distributed queries+pipelined table function

    HI friends,
    can i get better performance for distributed queries if i use pipelined table function.I have got my data distribued across three different databases.
    thanx
    somy

    You will need to grant EXECUTE access on the pipelined table function to whatever users want it. When other users call this function, they may need to prefix the schema owner (i.e. <<owner>>.getValue('001') ) unless you've set up the appropriate synonym.
    What version of SQL*Plus do you have on the NT machine?

  • Interactive Report - One column based on a list of values

    I have an Interactive Report that's part of a Form with Report. The form works fine, but I have a problem with the interactive report. One of the fields is based on a list of values. That is, the data in the table in the State field has numeric state codes, 1 to 51. The form part has no problem with this, as it's a select list based on a list of values LOV query, so the user selects the actual name of the state.
    The interactive report, however, displays the numeric codes, which is what is actually in the table. I am looking in the column definition for some way to tell it to convert the value to the state name, but I do not see it. There is a List of Values place, but that seems to be for filtering purposes instead of for return vs. display value.
    3.2.

    Tharpa,
    I'm not sure if what I am about to suggest will work in 3.2. However, in 4.1, I am using LOVs with IRRs without any issue.
    For example, if I have an address field of state code, I have a named LOV (LOV_STATE). I go into the report attributes for this column. There, I find a section named "List of Values" In here, I pick the "column filter type" of "Use Named List of Values to Filter Exact Match". (Presumably, this will work with Static List too). When the column is displayed, I see the State name displayed.

  • View link between view based on entity(table) and view based on stored proc

    I've created a view based on a stored procedure. I need to link this view to a view based on an entity which is based on a table.
    I can create the view without issue, but when I attempt to run the application module that contains the relationship I get this error:
    (oracle.jbo.InvalidOperException) JBO-26016: Cannot set user query to view "SalesentityModuleApiView2" because it is a destination in a view link
    One thing that may be notable about this is that this view started out based on a database view. I later overrode the select related methods using the example here:
    http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/html/B25947_01/bcadvvo008.htm
    Any ideas? I will gladly post some code if someone will let me know what might help diagnose this.

    Hi,
    I solved my problem with adding transient field, and changing the value of it (true | false) on set method of field that can be changed so I can get which row was updated. What exactly do you mean when you say not updateable, I'm using a vo with no entity, and I can add, remove rows, in fact I think it's a good solution because I don't want to write to database immediately.

  • Duplicate Rows In Oracle Pipelined Table Functions

    Hi fellow oracle users,
    I am trying to create an Oracle piplined table function that contains duplicate records. Whenever I try to pipe the same record twice, the duplicate record does not show up in the resulting pipelined table.
    Here's a sample piece of SQL:
    /* Type declarations */
    TYPE MY_RECORD IS RECORD(
    MY_NUM INTEGER
    TYPE MY_TABLE IS TABLE OF MY_RECORD;
    /* Pipelined function declaration */
    FUNCTION MY_FUNCTION RETURN MY_TABLE PIPELINED IS
    V_RECORD MY_RECORD;
    BEGIN
    -- insert first record
    V_RECORD.MY_NUM = 1;
    PIPE ROW (V_RECORD);
    -- insert second duplicate record
    V_RECORD.MY_NUM = 1;
    PIPE ROW (V_RECORD);
    -- return piplined table
    RETURN;
    END;
    /* Statement to query pipelined function */
    SELECT * FROM TABLE( MY_FUNCTION ); -- for some reason this only returns one record instead of two
    I am trying to get the duplicate row to show up in the select statement. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
