Need tools info. on SQL test data preparation

Hi,
I need to prepare large volume of data's for the testing's.
For example,
There is a need to insert some 500 numbers into a table.
Instead of writing the sql insert statements, procedures, using sql developers etc...
Is there any tools available for this to prepare the data's like this..
The tools has to be more generic for any type of the SQL statement requirements
for the testing.
Thanks,
Kar.

Are you looking for a test data generator, or just a quick way to load data?
For test data generators, try this, for a quick way to load data use [SQLLoader |http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28319/part_ldr.htm#i436326]. This is the 11g documentation, you should be able to find the 10g documentation easily enough.
Note that this forum is specifically for the SQLDeveloper tool. You may get better answers in the [Database General|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=61] forum.

Need more Info about "Load transactional data when master data not loaded"

Hi,
Can you please explain me this option in the infopackage " Load transactional data when master data is not loaded"....
Say i load a transactional data record which has a material no. AAAXX.
In the fact table, the material no. is replaced with the corresp. DIM ID.
Now, assume that there is no entry for this Material no.
AAAXX in the master data table...so no DIM ID for it..
How is it then stored in the fact table ?
Hope i have managed to explain the scenario..
Thanks in advance,
Punkuj

Hello Punkuj K,
How r u ?
No, if the entry for that Material Number "AAAXX" is not there in the Master Data then it will create a SIDs & DIMs ID for that & Transaction Data will be loaded.
Use
Choose this indicator if you want to always update the data, even if no master data for the navigation attributes of the loaded records exists. The master data is generated from the loaded transaction data. The system draws SIDs. You can subsequently load the master data.
Dependencies
The texts, attributes, and hierarchies are not recognized by the system. Load the texts / attributes / hierarchies for the corresponding InfoObjects separately.
This function corresponds to the update. Possible errors when reading the master data into the update rules are not associated with this indicator.
Recommendation
We recommended loading the master data into the productive systems in advance. Select this indicator especially in test systems.
Best Regards....

Hi Experts... (problem with for do an SQL test)

Hi people,
I need to do a SQL test in production Environment. I must optimize a SQL statement like "SELECT field_name FROM table_name.". Normally, I'm doing yhis process:
1. I make a Z program, with the SQL statement.
2. I upload the program to Test environment.
3. Finally, I upload the program to Production Environment an Test it.
I understand that this is a long way to do test (I think).
Can someone help me with another idea?
Thanks!

Hi friend,
This question is linked with SQL test issue.
I 've this SQL sentence:
DATA: it_ges LIKE zcctbltar OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
CONSTANTS: l_c_si(2) TYPE c VALUE 'SI'.
SELECT zmandt zguid_oportunidad zgestor ztipo1 z~tipo2
ztipo3 zestatus zprioridad zcliente
APPENDING TABLE it_ges_
FROM ( zcctbltar AS z INNER JOIN crmd_orderadm_h AS c
ON zguid_oportunidad = cguid )
WHERE z~tipo2 = 'ZAP'
AND c~zztexto27 = l_c_si.
This sentence needs 6,5 Seconds in INTEGRATION environmet (ZCCTBLTAR have 39.882 items, CRMD_ORDERADM_H have 1.853.334 items).
The problem is that I need do this process more fast than actually. In PRODUCTION environment, We have 3.179.867 items in CRM_ORDERADM_H (double than INTEGRATION).
¿Do U know how optimize this SELECT?
Thanks,
Sergio

Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler Versus SQL Developer

Friends,
I'm trying to understand the differences between Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler and the ability to use the Data Modeler in SQL Developer.
I've looked at both products home pages on OTN, http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/datamodeler/index.html & http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/sql_developer/index.html and would appreciate your comments on my findings so far
1) The Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler is a stand-a-lone chargeable product whereas the use of the Data Modeler functionality of SQL Developer is free
2) The Data Modeler functionality within SQL Developer is basically a "viewer" I can create ERD's of my existing tables by dragging them into the modeler from the object navigator but that's about it. I can't save the diagram for later use or use it to change the structure of the table(s)
3) If I need to have "Oracle Designer" like ERD capabilities then I need to use Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler (after purchase!)
4) Are there any other differences I have missed?
Thanks in advance

You can open any diagram created in the stand-alone product in the SQL Developer Data Modeler Viewer and navigate through all property dialogs and the full navigator, just like you can in the stand-alone product, but with no update capabilities. This allows developers to fully review the model and all properties, without making changes.

SSIS: To run a SSIS package outside of SQL Server Data Tools you must install SCR - DP1 Connections of Integration Services or higher

We have SSIS installed on a machine that is not part of a cluster but it is accessible by the cluster.
Our job we have running on the cluster is failing with the following error:
Error: 2014-01-31 09:14:37.52 Code: 0xC000F427 Source: SCR - DP1 Connections
Description: To run a SSIS package outside of SQL Server Data Tools you must install SCR - DP1 Connections of Integration Services or higher. End Error
Any advice or information on how to resolve this would be great.
Many Thanks.

Hi NessaBella,
Integration Services service is not a cluster-aware service, and does not support failover from one cluster node to another. Therefore, in a clustered environment, Integration Services should be installed and started as a stand-alone service on each node
in the cluster.
Based on the error message, it seems that SSIS is not installed on the cluster node on which the job was running. Although SSIS is installed on a machine that is not part of the cluster and can be accessed by each cluster node, the SSIS service installed
on a remote server cannot be used a cluster node. So, please install the shared feature SQL Server Integration Services on each cluster node. Besides, if certain packages need to run in 32-bit mode in certain jobs and the SQL Server installed is 64-bit version,
you also need to install BIDS/SSDT on the cluster node to get the 32-bit runtime of SSIS.

SQL Server Data Tools – Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSDT BI) and SSIS on SQL Server 2012

This great blog entry titled
SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 (SSDT BI), link below, highlights the lack of support for SSIS projects using SQL Server 2012, VS 2013 and SSDT BI for VS 2013. I see there is a new version
on SSDT BI for VS 2013 (12.0.2430.0, File Name: SSDTBI_x86_ENU.exe, Date Published: 10/27/2014) link below.
Does this version support SSIS projects using SQL Server 2012 using VS 2013 and SSDT BI for VS 2013?

Hi cjrinpdx,
According to the picture, it seems that we can use SSIS 2012 support is not included in SSDT-BI for VS 2013. And based on the previous versions, SSIS always different from SSRS, SSAS.
SSDT-BI for Visual Studio 2012 supports versions of SQL Server as follows:
SSAS project can target SQL 2012 or lower
SSRS project can target SQL 2012 or lower
SSIS project can target only SQL 2012
The following blog is for your reference:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/dataplatforminsider/archive/2013/11/13/microsoft-sql-server-data-tools-update.aspx
Since I have no environment to test this at this moment,
I recommend you that submit the feedback at

Thank you for your understanding.

SQL Server Data Tools for SQL 2014 setup

Hello,
I have been using SQL server 2008 with Visual Studio 2008 to perform the ETL processes.
I have recently got SQL 2014 and realized that Business Intelligence Development Studio does not come with it so I have to download SQL Server Data Tools for Visual Basics 2012 or 2013 from:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/data/hh297027
Can someone advise what exactly I have to do if I want to start using SQL 2014 with SSDT? I still have VB 2008 installed and all my packages were created with that version.
Do I need to download VB 2012 or 2013 plus SSDT and then SSDT? Do I also uninstall VB2008?
Thanks in advnce

Hello,
If you want to keep developing packages for SQL Server 2008 then you need to use BIDS 2008, you cannot use SSDT.
If you want to upgrade BIDS projects to SSDT, then you can use Integration Services Project Conversion Wizard from Visual
Studio or SSIS Package Upgrade Wizard from SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
Hope this helps.

Need query tool for new SQL users

We have testers that need to see DB data. Not all of them are well versed in SQL. At the moment, we are looking at creating reports for them in Discoverer and allowing them to create their own workbooks, however, I am not sure if this is the route that we want to go. Would any one recommend SQL Developer in this situation, or do you need to be well versed in SQL in order to use it?
Cheers
K

Well, in my knowledge, there's still no magical datamining tool. The more complex information you require, the more knowledge you need to be able to get it.
Or you make your users all reports they need, or they learn SQL.
Maybe sqldev isn't so bad; you could provide them like template reports, which they can then modify if needed. But bear in mind that poorly written queries at the end will return them wrong data and clog the database...
Have fun,
K.

Info about eCATT Testing Tool

Hi All,
I have read various blogs/threads regarding eCATT Testing tool. I can see how to create eCATT scripts but my questions is how do we open eCATT tool.
I ve read that we have to enter "SECATT" as tcode, but where?
I ve SAP Netweaver Application Server 7x and Developer Studio installed on my M/C, please let me know if there is anything else to be installed to get started with eCATT, if yes then it would be great if you could provide me with relevant URLs as well.
Regards
Kaushal Panjwani

Hi
Check CATT help.
http://****************/Tutorials/eCATT/eCATTMain.htm
SAP users use CATT frequently to upload master data or to make changes to master data records. SAP Consultants and Abapers tend to use it for creating test data. The transactions run without user interaction. You can check system messages and test database changes. All tests are logged. The CATT records your keystrokes while performing the actual transaction. You then identify the fields that you wish to change in that view. Then export this data to a spreadsheet to populate with the data required. This is uploaded and executed saving you keying in the data manually.
To perform CATT, it has to be enabled in your production environment (your systems administrator should be able to do this - SCC4). You will also need access to your development system to create the CATT script.
The process of uploading data with a CATT:
Activate CATT in your client
In transaction code SCC4 - click the change button
Double click on the client number
In the Restriction section, tick Allows CATT processes to be started.
Upload data using CATT
1. Create Import variant for the fields you need
Transaction SCAT
Goto Parameters
Create Import Variant
Goto Variant -> Edit
Goto Variant -> Fast entry or F9
Duplicate 01
2. To change the MRP Group for a list of Material
Assuming that I want to change the MRP Group for a list of Material.
My text files should look something like this:
[Variant ID] [Variant Text] &ZDISGR &ZMATNR
--> Parameter texts MRP group Material
--> Default Values M1 A001
Changes to the default values displayed above not effective
#01 M1 A001
#02 '' A002
#03 M1 A003
Note : '' denotes a blank in the field. e.g. Material A002 MRP group will be replaced by a blank.
3. Configure the recorded entry fields to read from the imported text file data
In the CATT : Maintain functions test case Screen
Double click on the Object Name
Double click on the screen number with your desired fields
Park the cursor on the fields
Click Edit -> Details
Fill in the Parameters Name and Field Contents
Finish Save it.
Assign your text file data.
In the CATT : Execute test case Screen
Click External from file and choose your text file
CATT will now read from your text file and update whatever data you have specified.
u can go through this link

Sql server data tools - Business intelligence

Hi,
Please assist, i need to know if i require a licence for SQL Server Data tools - Business Intelligence.

Hi Lebohang,
As per my understanding, you don't have to make all users have CAL. You can install SQL Server Data Tools - Business Intelligence for Visual Studio 2013 as a standalone business intelligence authoring environment or side-by-side with an existing SQL Server
Data Tools installed with SQL Server.

Test data generation tool?

Hi folks:
Can anyone suggest a test data generation tool? We need to load up and stress-test a product we're building. We need a tool that can generate an INSERT script for all tables with referentially intact data inserted in the right order to not violate constraints. I've used Quest's DataFactory before, and it's not very good. Is there a free/inexpensive (or at most, a reasonably priced) tool that anyone knows of?

Dave
