[Need help] Would Hash partitioning preferable here?

I have idea about Hash partitioning.
Now in my case volume of data is very high while search criteria on that table is dynamically coming from GUI.
There is search criteria for date range but date filed is dynamically decided.
In database terminology, different queries with different date type columns in where clause are executed based on the search criteria selected from GUI.
While using Range partition, we are allowed to use only one date column so query that do not use this date column would not get benefit from partitioning.
so i feel i can't go for range partitioning.
So here i need suggestion that would Hash partitioning would help in this case ?

The only reason i have put my query in this forum is
that here i found instant answers.So seeing that it is obvious that the only right way for such question is to divert them to the right forum and not provide any answer. Otherwise people start to become ignorant to polite requests.
And this forum is all about "feedback and suggestion"
again i am also asked for suggestions so i feel i am
right here.Are you blind or unable to read? Already 2 users asked you to post in more appropriate forum and when you open this forum there is following text just after the forum title:
"Use this forum for feedback about OTN programs, Web site content, and systems - product-related questions cannot be answered here. "
Is this not enough?

  • Need Help with Format/Partition.. using cmd

    Okay guys.. Im kinda sick of trying to get my Recovery to work. Seems like its about to finish and everything is perfect.. then suddenly I get an error message saying that Recovery didnt work, or something like that..
    I figured I might as well try starting with a fresh hard drive, then trying the recovery again..
    So someone told me that if I have the HP Recovery disks, then I would be able to try them, even on a brand new hard drive, or a formatted one or whatever..
    Is this true?
    If so, then what I am asking you guys, is, if there is anybody that would be able to help guide me thru the steps needed, in order for me to Format my hard drive, & then partition it or whatever…
    & I wanna be able to do all this, using cmd (command prompt)
    So Please.. anyone.. your help would be greatly appreciated..
    I have an HP Pavilion dv6653cl
    Thanks!!

    Hi,
    There's no need to pre-format a new Hard Drive - if you perform a 'Factory Reset' using your Recovery Discs, these will perform a quick format and also re-create all the original partitions on the new drive as part of the process.
    A complete guide to using Recovery Discs can be found on the relevant link below.

  • Need help restoring a partition image

    Setup: OSX 10.7
    One OSX partition, one Windows 7 Bootcamp partition.
    Initially, I made a backup image of the windows partition using disk utility and saved that to an external drive.  For some reason, using any format besides DVD master would result in an "invalid argument" error.*  So now I have an ISO image sitting around, the same size as the entire partition.  I can mount this image and see all my Windows files and directories inside.
    What I want to do is image this ISO file back over my original windows partition to restore it to an earlier state.  However, when I use disk utility, this is what happens:
    Select .iso as source, greyed out (unmounted) partition as destination.
    press restore, agree to erase
    DU asks to scan, and then fails with "unable to scan.  Invalid argument"
    I can also open the image so that now in finder there is the icon of a disk, surrounded by a rectangle with a corner folder over, and underneath is an image of an external disk drive.  If I choose this as the source, I get "restore failure.  Invalid argument."
    All I want to do is write my partition image back to the actual partition.
    *That's weird, I just tried to image the partition again right now to a .dmg, and it seemed to start ok.  Oh well.  Still doesn't help with my current problem, though.

    OK, I managed to fix it using old fashioned techniques.
    First, I needed to check that the image I had was an actual disk image, and not something else contained in a wrapper.
    In terminal, I used the command "file" on the image file and it saw a boot sector + other stuff.  That's good.
    Next, I checked that the size of the image file is exactly the same as the size of the partition I was going to write to using "diskutil info (name of partition)".  That checked out as well.
    Finally, I just did the usual dd if=image file of=target bs=4096 to write the image file back in.  Magically, it worked.  I guess it was good that in the process the partition table was not damaged.
    All the other GUI programs like disk utility, winclone, etc refused to touch my iso image file.
    I should have saved myself the headache and grabbed the original source image using dd as well.

  • Need help with table partitions

    Hi all,
    I'm new at partitions and tablespaces and I've been asked to create a partition for a table. First off, here's a sample table that I have.
    create table M_TRANS  (
       TRAN_ID NUMBER,
       MONTH_KEY INTEGER,
       ACCOUNT_KEY INTEGER,
       ACCOUNT_NUMBER CHAR(8),
       LINE_KEY VARCHAR2(40),
       SERVICE_TYPE VARCHAR2(10)
    )I need to create a range partition based on Month_Key and list sub-partition based on last char of Line_Key.
    MONTH_KEY has a data format of "YYYYMM" (200802).
    LINE_KEY's last char should be in 0-9 / A-Z. 1 partition for each number 0-9 and 1 partition for alphabet values.
    Upon reading articles, samples on this particular subject, I came up with this...
    create table M_TRANS  (
       TRAN_ID                    NUMBER,
       MONTH_KEY            INTEGER,
       ACCOUNT_KEY          INTEGER,
       ACCOUNT_NUMBER       CHAR(8),
       LINE_KEY             NUMBER,
       SERVICE_TYPE         VARCHAR2(10)
    PARTITION BY RANGE(MONTH_KEY)
    SUBPARTITION BY LIST (LINE_KEY)
    SUBPARTITION TEMPLATE(
    SUBPARTITION P_0 VALUES 1 TABLESPACE TS_0,
    SUBPARTITION P_1 VALUES 2 TABLESPACE TS_1,
    SUBPARTITION P_2 VALUES 3 TABLESPACE TS_2,
    SUBPARTITION P_3 VALUES 4 TABLESPACE TS_3,
    SUBPARTITION P_4 VALUES 5 TABLESPACE TS_4,
    SUBPARTITION P_5 VALUES 6 TABLESPACE TS_5,

    SUBPARTITION P_AZ VALUES ('A','B','C','D','E','F','G','H','I','J','K','L','M','N','O','P','Q','R','S','T','U','V','W','X','Y','Z') TABLESPACE TS_AZ
    PARTITION M_JAN VALUES 'JAN'
    PARTITION M_FEB VALUES 'FEB'
    PARTITION M_MAR VALUES 'MAR'
    PARTITION M_APR VALUES 'APR'
    PARTITION M_MAY VALUES 'MAY'
    PARTITION M_JUN VALUES 'JUN'
    PARTITION M_JUL VALUES 'JUL'
    PARTITION M_AUG VALUES 'AUG'
    PARTITION M_SEP VALUES 'SEP'
    PARTITION M_OCT VALUES 'OCT'
    PARTITION M_NOV VALUES 'NOV'
    PARTITION M_DEC VALUES 'DEC'
    );The only problem is that since the MONTH_KEY has a format of "YYYYMM", how do I compare just the last 2 numbers. Same goes with the LINE_KEY.
    Can some help me? Thanks.
    Regards,
    A.Sandiego

    In 10g and earlier, you need to create separate columns for the last 1-2 characters and use those columns as partitioning keys.
    In 11g, you can use virtual columns:
    CREATE TABLE M_TRANS (
       TRAN_ID NUMBER,
       MONTH_KEY INTEGER,
       LINE_KEY VARCHAR2(40),
       MONTH_ONLY as ((month_key/100-trunc(month_key/100))*100),
       LAST_CHAR as (upper(substr(line_key,length(line_key),1)))
    PARTITION BY RANGE(MONTH_ONLY)
    SUBPARTITION BY LIST (LAST_CHAR)
       SUBPARTITION TEMPLATE (
       SUBPARTITION P_0 VALUES ('1'),
       SUBPARTITION P_1 VALUES ('2'),
       SUBPARTITION P_2 VALUES ('3'),
       SUBPARTITION P_AZ VALUES ('A','B','C')
    PARTITION M_JAN VALUES LESS THAN (2),
    PARTITION M_FEB VALUES LESS THAN (3),
    PARTITION M_MAR VALUES LESS THAN (4)

  • I need help fixing my partitions without wiping my current install?

    I deleted my BootCamp partition. Now everything seems a mess.
    In the end, I am trying to reinstall the bootcamp partition with Windows 7, but I am running into problems.
    It looks like there might be an issue with my partition layout.

    Also, I am currently decrypting the partition, to see if that opens up more options for fixing this!!
    Any help is truly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    One problem I'm having is that it seems my OS X partition is only 498 GB, while my hard drive is 750GB. I want to give the BootCamp partition the difference (about 250GB) but when I use BootCamp assistant to make a windows install, it steals the space from the 498. I tried to expand the OS X partition from 498 to fill the entire drive using
    sudo diskutil resizeVolume /dev/disk1 R
    but then I get the following error:
    Error obtaining resizing information for grow to maximum
    thanks for any help

  • Need help on merging Partition

    I have a scenario where two tables (main and archive table) are using the same partition number and file group.
    Row count is different on each table, though partition range value is same. The way it happened was that we created archived partition process to archive partitions in which data is older than 4 years. After running archiving process , business users inserted
    data which were older than 4 years and fell into that archiving range in main table.
    Now we have rows in both main table and archiving table. I want to merge those record together in archive table.
    I was thinking to switch partition but I believe for that I need to empty archive table partition. Any guidance would be appreciated..
    ZK

    Use $PARTITION function to get partition number for the value. Look at BOI for more details. 
    example from BOI
    CREATE PARTITION FUNCTION RangePF1 ( int )
    AS RANGE FOR VALUES (10, 100, 1000) ;
    GO
    SELECT $PARTITION.RangePF1 (100) ;
    Then check rows values in sys.partitions table for that partition number and object_id 
    select rows from sys.partitions where object_id = object_id (<archive table>) and partition_number = @partition_number
    if rows are 0 then that partition is empty you can switch partition else do delete and insert. 

  • Malware on New Helix (out of the box) / Need Help Accessing Recovery Partition

    Hi,
    I'm working on a problem for my folks.  My dad got my mom a brand spanking new Helix (not exactly a cheap laptop).  
    It came with two pieces of malware:
    1.  Windows 8
    2.  AstroMenda
    Since I can't do anything about #1 and #2 is a serious PITA and the machine is new out of the box (really), I thought I'd just restore the machine from the recovery partition.
    However, I cannot seem to get the machine to boot to recovery mode.
    Enter doesn't seem to do anything (that is the only keystroke suggested by the splash screen).
    F12 gets me a boot menu but I don't see any recovery options.  Selecting the Windows Boot Manager or the Hard Drive itself results in Windows 8 booting.
    F1 gets me the BIOS.  Though I imagine I might be able to set the recovery partition (which #?) to the #1 boot option, I absolutely should not have to do that.
    Shift doesn't do anything (suggested elsewhere on these forums).
    F2 doesn't do anything.
    F11 doesn't do anything.
    Esc doesn't do anything.
    My older lenovo T61p had the ThinkVantage.  I always thought that was pretty goofy but now I'm wishing I had a ThinkVantage.
    BTW, Lenovo Support was USELESS.  They told me to return the machine and transferred me to returns but since my folks were on vacation when it arrived, we are outside the 30 day window, returns wouldn't do an exchange.  They opened a case with Customer Advocacy (never heard of that) but told me I wouldn't hear anything for 3-5 business days and there is no number, website, or email you can call to check your "Customer Advocacy" claim.  That sounds a lot like GFY.

    Hello.
    Open up the Charms Bar - Settings - Click the Power Icon - Hold either Shift button down and press Restart. This will open up the Advanced Startup menu.
    Cheers!

  • Need help with File system creation fro Oracle DB installation

    Hello,
    I am new to Solaris/Unix system landscape. I have a Sun enterprise 450 with 18GB hard drive. It has Solaris 9 on it and no other software at this time. I am planning on adding 2 more hard drives 18gb and 36gb to accommodate Oracle DB.
    Recently I went through the Solaris Intermediate Sys admin training, knows the basic stuff but not fully confident to carry out the task on my own.
    I would appreciate some one can help me with the sequence of steps that I need perform to
    1. recognize the new hard drives in the system,
    2. format,
    3. partition. What is the normal strategy for partitioning? My current thinking is to have 36+18gb drives as data drives. This is where I am little bit lost. Can I make a entire 36GB drive as 1 slice for data, I am not quite sure how this is done in the real life, need your help.
    4. creating the file system to store the database files.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello,
    Here is the rough idea for HA from my experience.
    The important thing is that the binaries required to run SAP
    are to be accessible before and after switchover.
    In terms of this file system doesn't matter.
    But SAP may recommend certain filesystem on linux
    please refer to SAP installation guide.
    I always use reiserfs or ext3fs.
    For soft link I recommend you to refer SAP installation guide.
    In your configuration the files related to SCS and DB is the key.
    Again those files are to be accessible both from hostA and from hostB.
    Easiest way is to use share these files like NFS or other shared file system
    so that both nodes can access to these files.
    And let the clustering software do mount and unmount those directory.
    DB binaries, data and log are to be placed in shared storage subsystem.
    (ex. /oracle/*)
    SAP binaries, profiles and so on to be placed in shared storage as well.
    (ex. /sapmnt/*)
    You may want to place the binaries into local disk to make sure the binaries
    are always accessible on OS level, even in the connection to storage subsystem
    losts.
    In this case you have to sync the binaries on both nodes manually.
    Easiest way is just put on shared storage and mount them!
    Furthermore you can use sapcpe function to sync necessary binaries
    from /sapmnt to /usr/sap/<SID>.
    For your last question /sapmnt should be located in storage subsystem
    and not let the storage down!

  • Had this weird issue...Need help!!!

    I got this issue, where user was not able to apply leaves on HR portal, which he was able to apply in past.
    We did our analysis and found some roles were end dated by background job.
    We extended the validity of the roles which were end dated, but he was still not able to apply for leaves.
    Then I was suggested to remove the roles of users and assign them back and it worked.
    Not sure why and how it got resolved....need help in understanding what happened here
    Any response will be highly appreciated
    Regards
    Anshul

    Then we can only speculate.
    A possible speculation is buffering and some non-authorization attributes attached to the role, such as personalization keys. Some selects wait for the buffers to roll, others bypass buffering when selecting data which might have changed. This would mean that it was just timing that SU01 seemed to work, or SU01 triggered the bypassing of the buffer after the change but PFCG did not.
    Anyway, as long as it worked in the end...  :-)
    Cheers,

  • MSI K8T Neo2 FIR, need help installing drivers

    Hi there,
    I need help with installing drivers. Here’s my setup:

    Mainbord: MSI K8T Neo2 FIR (VIA K8T800Pro)
    OS:  Windows XP Professional, SP2 installed
    ATI Radeon 9600 Pro
    I updated per MSI Live Monitor, but when I run ‘dxdiag’, I says I have to update the ‘VIA standard host bridge’. I don’t know what this is or where it can be found. It could be I saved the updated drivers in the wrong file (F:\ Program Files\...) where F is my primary harddisk and the drivers should be saved in F:\Windows\ System 32.
    Also, my hardware setup tells me there are two videocards 'installed': a Radeon 9600  Pro and a radeon 9600 Pro (secundary). Do I need to de-install the secundary one?
    Here’s a piece of my most recent dxdiag:

    Help would be very much appriciated, thnx!

    The two vis.cards issue is normal, it sees the primary output (VGA) as a device and the TV-out a separate device.
    Go to device manager to see if there's any device on ur rig that doesn't have drivers.
    Did u install the 4-in1 drivers, get the latest version from the MSI support site.
    good luck.

  • Need help with overclocking my x58 pro-e

    hi i have this new mb from msi and i need help fixing stability issues :
    ok here i go i did the normal oc to 3.1 that needed nothing voltage wise so now i need to go pro ^^ so plz help me out and 1 more thing if u know any thing about ssd and ide mode or there is any thing better plz help me out :>
    ok i tried oc it to 4.2 it runs fine tell it hangs some times and freezes or even do some restarts on its own the usual i mean for a fail oc :P if u could help me out setting up my oc in a pro way i would love u for ever ^^
    specs r writing down under ^^ 

    OK i m back guys and sorry i took so long i tried some new O.C and i got so far as 3.7 on my cpu i saw that i had like really bad heat on the cpu on OCCT/prime and other  testing programs i easily got to 95+ witch i stoop not wanting to know where it will hit :P
    then i opened my pc yanked the motherboard out removed the cooler and the IOH cooler cleaned them both up reapplied the Thermal Grease witch came with my Thermaltake ISGC-400 and for extra cooling i add a sec fan on top of the cooler fan (yes it made some extra noise but it works :P ) rebuild  it  and tried again and the result was :
    ideal temp: 60+ / load temp: 95+ / IOH temp: 85-95+ // and now :
    SAME !!!! but the IOH dropped like a charm to 55 maybe 65 max .
    so i know it was time to google some webpages and i saw some photos of CPU-Z all showing low core voltage and by low i mean the standard core i7 920 voltages !  mine was given by the auto bios setting so i continued searching tell i found out the higher the V.core is the high hte numbers are on the sensors !
    i found out that a standard voltage will take me to 4GHz of speed so i tried it on my 3.7 (current speed )
    and the result was lets just say WOW ! i think :
    ideal  temp 38+ / load temp: 83 (prime95) / IOH temp : 55-60 (after the cleaning / rergreasing) 
    so i tried it with my game (wow) and it never raise more than 65 max ! so if i over clocked it to 4K i dont think i will ever overheat it never the less i have a temp montering it with a max 85 on the alarm .
    so far my tests and errors :
    Multiplier= x21
    bus speed = 177
    voltages:
    QPI: 1.30
    CPU V.core : 1.28ish i cant realy tell from the bios
    CPU PLL: 1.82ish same thing
    speedstep=off/turbo=off/C1E=off/execute = off /over speed protection=off /V.tech=off/HPET=on(so numbers wont play much on cpu-z)
    now for ram :
    3x6 ratio ( in bios in windows it shows 2:6 for some reason ) DRAM frequency is showing 531 Mhz
    9.9.24.88
    V=1.5
    any thing above these settings will crash the pc/not booting at all and i feel its not a stable system now ether so tell me what im doing wrong here please since there was  a post just about like me in this forum but the man who made it never got back to you :> ty and realy sorry for the long post ^^

  • I need help on deciding which camcorder is right for me....

    I'm going into college early September and my professor wants me to practice making films.
    I'm getting a MacBook Pro tomorrow along with Final Cut Express, now all I need is the right camcorder.
    Unfortunately, $200 is my budget, and I need a camcorder (mini or not) that has great 1) video quality (HD) 2) low-light quality and 3) good zoom.
    When I'm shooting, I also need to have good audio quality and be able to hear when I review what was shot.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Here is my tuppence-worth after three years of amateur videoing and several hours of edited video (not artistic stuff, just records of things happening).
    1. Three years ago I was advised to get a mini-tape machine because FCE does not work well with non-tape machines. This was confirmed in this discussion group recently.
    2. Three years ago I was advised not to get a Canon machine - not because they are not good but because FCE has difficulty working with them. Sonys were thought to work well. Others might confirm or update this.
    3. Unless you like the awful current fad of continuously zooming in and out, in and out of focus and jiggling the camera purposely, use a tripod whenever you can, and failing that a monopod which is easy to carry attached to the camera and takes three seconds to position (assuming the legs are expanded). It greatly steadies the shot (but press it into the ground if outside to make sure that it does not jerk).
    4. On light level sensitivity which you mention, my Sony DCR HC96 which cost much more than you want to pay (but all the cheaper versions in that range have the same level) the Minimum Illumination is 5 Lux (Lux is a measure of light intensity falling on a subject so obviously 0 Lux is total darkness). This allows me to shoot in remarkably low light levels conditions, so the 5 Lux figure will give you something to consider when looking at specifications.
    5. My camera (but not the cheaper versions) has "Night Shot" which allows shooting in total darkness up to about 6 metres away using the infrared light on the camera.
    6. It also has Sony's "SteadyShot" which compensates for rapid shake (but not hosepipe shots of course). This was tested when shooting on a tripod on a hill in very windy conditions when I had to brace myself. The camera was vibrating noticeably but there was no sign of that on the footage. (I don't know whether the anti-camera shake system was optical or electronic). The manual indicates that the cheaper versions in the range also have this.
    7. Most beginners start by hosepiping (moving the camera all over the place to get everything in). My advice is to get that out of your system very quickly, and pan (s l o w l y) instead.
    8. As often advised in this forum, start shooting a few seconds before and keep shooting a few seconds after the shot that you want. This is to allow for transitions at both ends (the dreaded "Handles" thing). Also, at events etc. which you cannot re-shoot, aim to shoot at least 5 to 10 times the footage that will survive the average editing process. Therefore, carry spare tapes (if you go for that type) and a spare charged battery.
    9. I find that the cheaper the camera the greater the optical zoom. This might be due to the greater ease of designing a cheaper lens where compromises can be made. Beware Digital zoom — it doesn't add any extra info., just pixellates.
    10. I find that Scaling up a video clip in FCE by more than a few percent degrades the image (probably because video cameras are designed to make footage that will be shown via a DVD or TV when the footage has to be greatly compressed, so a lot of pixels is not economic, but I am only guessing here). Do a (optical) zoom during the shoot or use a still taken with a still camera which will have more pixels than a video camera. You can always Scale in FCE and then pan using Motion.
    11. You want to hear what you have just shot. I think that most cameras will allow this (in Play mode).
    Hope this helps.
