Numeric functions in Oracle Text

Hi
Do we have numeric functions in Oracle Text, if not what we have to do for filtering/searching numeric fields
Thanx
Hari

there are no numeric functions. You search numeric information by exact string match.

  • Index rules in oracle text and query using matches

    Dear All,
    I would like to ask about rules and matches function in oracle text.
    I followed an example in oracle text application developer's guide.
    I have a rule table like this :
    1 oracle
    2 larry or ellison
    3 oracle and text
    4 market share
    then, I create an index to that table. This is needed for calling matches function. Here is the syntax :
    create index queryx on queries(query_string)
    indextype is ctxsys.ctxrule;
    then, I noticed that the result on DR$QUERYX$I table as follows :
    LARRY 0 2 2 1 (BLOB)
    MARKET 0 4 4 1 (BLOB) {MARKET} {SHARE}
    ORACLE 0 1 1 1 (BLOB)
    ORACLE 0 3 3 1 (BLOB) {TEXT}
    ELLISON 0 2 2 1 (BLOB)
    What I want to ask is why doesn't the words 'share' and 'text' appear in the DR$QUERYX$ table?
    When we use matches function, it then search on the index result and consequently it wion't find the 'share' word. so when for example I do query like this :
    select query_id from queries where matches(query_string,' It only share ten percent of all products sold')>0
    it will give 0 result since the no word in ' It only share ten percent of all products sold' was in index table. But actually it could possibly be categorized as the 4 category which rules is 'market share'
    I tried this in a larger set of data and get same result.
    Here is my generated rules from my document collection :
    1 {REQUIREMENTS} & {ELICITATION}
    1 {REQUIREMENTS} ~ {ELICITATION} & {ACTOR}
    1 {REQUIREMENTS} ~ {ELICITATION} ~ {ACTOR} & {FURPS}
    1 {REQUIREMENTS} ~ {ELICITATION} ~ {ACTOR} ~ {FURPS} ~ {OUTLINE}

    so when I try to classify a document with the word ouline inside it, it should produce category 1 (based on the rules) but since there are no word 'outline' in index tabel, the matches will return 0 means that the document is not classifiedto any category. I don't understand why it happen. Anybody knows about this? I would really appreciate any help.
    Thank you very much.

    Hm, I see. It do make sense. so nice to know.
    But then in the second example I gift where I used larger table, as shown below :

    3 {PM} & {TESTING} & {ATTRIBUTI}
    As far as I know, the sign ' ~ ' means 'OR' and '&' means 'and' . So based on the 4th line in my table :
    1 {REQUIREMENTS} ~ {ELICITATION} ~ {ACTOR} ~ {FURPS} ~ {OUTLINE}
    it can be concluded that if any of the words stated there been queried, so the category '1' will appear as a result. But then before we can use 'matches' to query it, we need ti create index for the rules table . I did it and the result were :

  • Oracle Text Search for UCM on Standard One

    I'm curious if OracleTextSearch Component for UCM would work with 11g Standard One (or if there are any limitations running UCM with Standard One). Any experiences out there - as this would be for primarily smaller instances?

    As far as I can tell, that component exposes some of the functionality of Oracle Text 11g.
    Looking at this feature comparison set here:
    http://www.oracle.com/database/product_editions.html
    It looks like the Standard Edition includes Oracle Text.
    Having said that, i've used Oracle Database 11g Standard as a development platform for a while. I would think that would be just fine, considering the small amount of information supplied about your particular implemetnation, metrics baselines, etc.

  • Using of Oracle Text functions not working in JDev

    Hi,
    I'm confused about using Oracle Text functions in JDeveloper.
    It's not possible for me to pass the sql syntax test while creating a view object with a custom query:
    SELECT score (1) myScore,
    dokumente.titel,
    ctx_doc.snippet ('idx_dokumente_titel',
    TO_CHAR (dokumente.dkt_id),
    'searchstring'
    ) snippet
    FROM dokumente
    WHERE contains (titel, 'searchstring', 1) > 0;
    I retrieve "ORA-00911:     invalid character" for the contains-function.
    (Using this statement in sql-worksheet works.)
    Any ideas?

  • Pre-loading Oracle text in memory with Oracle 12c

    There is a white paper from Roger Ford that explains how to load the Oracle index in memory : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/mem-load-082296.html
    In our application, Oracle 12c, we are indexing a big XML field (which is stored as XMLType with storage secure file) with the PATH_SECTION_GROUP. If I don't load the I table (DR$..$I) into memory using the technique explained in the white paper then I cannot have decent performance (and especially not predictable performance, it looks like if the blocks from the TOKEN_INFO columns are not memory then performance can fall sharply)
    But after migrating to oracle 12c, I got a different problem, which I can reproduce: when I create the index it is relatively small (as seen with ctx_report.index_size) and by applying the technique from the whitepaper, I can pin the DR$ I table into memory. But as soon as I do a ctx_ddl.optimize_index('Index','REBUILD') the size becomes much bigger and I can't pin the index in memory. Not sure if it is bug or not.
    What I found as work-around is to build the index with the following storage options:
    ctx_ddl.create_preference('TEST_STO','BASIC_STORAGE');
    ctx_ddl.set_attribute ('TEST_STO', 'BIG_IO', 'YES' );
    ctx_ddl.set_attribute ('TEST_STO', 'SEPARATE_OFFSETS', 'NO' );
    so that the token_info column will be stored in a secure file. Then I can change the storage of that column to put it in the keep buffer cache, and write a procedure to read the LOB so that it will be loaded in the keep cache. The size of the LOB column is more or less the same as when creating the index without the BIG_IO option but it remains constant even after a ctx_dll.optimize_index. The procedure to read the LOB and to load it into the cache is very similar to the loaddollarR procedure from the white paper.
    Because of the SDATA section, there is a new DR table (S table) and an IOT on top of it. This is not documented in the white paper (the white paper was written for Oracle 10g). In my case this DR$ S table is much used, and the IOT also, but putting it in the keep cache is not as important as the token_info column of the DR I table. A final note: doing SEPARATE_OFFSETS = 'YES' was very bad in my case, the combined size of the two columns is much bigger than having only the TOKEN_INFO column and both columns are read.
    Here is an example on how to reproduce the problem with the size increasing when doing ctx_optimize
    1. create the table
    drop table test;
    CREATE TABLE test
    (ID NUMBER(9,0) NOT NULL ENABLE,
    XML_DATA XMLTYPE
    XMLTYPE COLUMN XML_DATA STORE AS SECUREFILE BINARY XML (tablespace users disable storage in row);
    2. insert a few records
    insert into test values(1,'<Book><TITLE>Tale of Two Cities</TITLE>It was the best of times.<Author NAME="Charles Dickens"> Born in England in the town, Stratford_Upon_Avon </Author></Book>');
    insert into test values(2,'<BOOK><TITLE>The House of Mirth</TITLE>Written in 1905<Author NAME="Edith Wharton"> Wharton was born to George Frederic Jones and Lucretia Stevens Rhinelander in New York City.</Author></BOOK>');
    insert into test values(3,'<BOOK><TITLE>Age of innocence</TITLE>She got a prize for it.<Author NAME="Edith Wharton"> Wharton was born to George Frederic Jones and Lucretia Stevens Rhinelander in New York City.</Author></BOOK>');
    3. create the text index
    drop index i_test;
      exec ctx_ddl.create_section_group('TEST_SGP','PATH_SECTION_GROUP');
    begin
      CTX_DDL.ADD_SDATA_SECTION(group_name => 'TEST_SGP', 
                                section_name => 'SData_02',
                                tag => 'SData_02',
                                datatype => 'varchar2');
    end;
    exec ctx_ddl.create_preference('TEST_STO','BASIC_STORAGE');
    exec  ctx_ddl.set_attribute('TEST_STO','I_TABLE_CLAUSE','tablespace USERS storage (initial 64K)');
    exec  ctx_ddl.set_attribute('TEST_STO','I_INDEX_CLAUSE','tablespace USERS storage (initial 64K) compress 2');
    exec  ctx_ddl.set_attribute ('TEST_STO', 'BIG_IO', 'NO' );
    exec  ctx_ddl.set_attribute ('TEST_STO', 'SEPARATE_OFFSETS', 'NO' );
    create index I_TEST
      on TEST (XML_DATA)
      indextype is ctxsys.context
      parameters('
        section group   "TEST_SGP"
        storage         "TEST_STO"
      ') parallel 2;
    4. check the index size
    select ctx_report.index_size('I_TEST') from dual;
    it says :
    TOTALS FOR INDEX TEST.I_TEST
    TOTAL BLOCKS ALLOCATED:                                                104
    TOTAL BLOCKS USED:                                                      72
    TOTAL BYTES ALLOCATED:                                 851,968 (832.00 KB)
    TOTAL BYTES USED:                                      589,824 (576.00 KB)
    4. optimize the index
    exec ctx_ddl.optimize_index('I_TEST','REBUILD');
    and now recompute the size, it says
    TOTALS FOR INDEX TEST.I_TEST
    TOTAL BLOCKS ALLOCATED:                                               1112
    TOTAL BLOCKS USED:                                                    1080
    TOTAL BYTES ALLOCATED:                                 9,109,504 (8.69 MB)
    TOTAL BYTES USED:                                      8,847,360 (8.44 MB)
    which shows that it went from 576KB to 8.44MB. With a big index the difference is not so big, but still from 14G to 19G.
    5. Workaround: use the BIG_IO option, so that the token_info column of the DR$ I table will be stored in a secure file and the size will stay relatively small. Then you can load this column in the cache using a procedure similar to
    alter table DR$I_TEST$I storage (buffer_pool keep);
    alter table dr$i_test$i modify lob(token_info) (cache storage (buffer_pool keep));
    rem: now we must read the lob so that it will be loaded in the keep buffer pool, use the prccedure below
    create or replace procedure loadTokenInfo is
      type c_type is ref cursor;
      c2 c_type;
      s varchar2(2000);
      b blob;
      buff varchar2(100);
      siz number;
      off number;
      cntr number;
    begin
        s := 'select token_info from  DR$i_test$I';
        open c2 for s;
        loop
           fetch c2 into b;
           exit when c2%notfound;
           siz := 10;
           off := 1;
           cntr := 0;
           if dbms_lob.getlength(b) > 0 then
             begin
               loop
                 dbms_lob.read(b, siz, off, buff);
                 cntr := cntr + 1;
                 off := off + 4096;
               end loop;
             exception when no_data_found then
               if cntr > 0 then
                 dbms_output.put_line('4K chunks fetched: '||cntr);
               end if;
             end;
           end if;
        end loop;
    end;
    Rgds, Pierre

    I have been working a lot on that issue recently, I can give some more info.
    First I totally agree with you, I don't like to use the keep_pool and I would love to avoid it. On the other hand, we have a specific use case : 90% of the activity in the DB is done by queuing and dbms_scheduler jobs where response time does not matter. All those processes are probably filling the buffer cache. We have a customer facing application that uses the text index to search the database : performance is critical for them.
    What kind of performance do you have with your application ?
    In my case, I have learned the hard way that having the index in memory (the DR$I table in fact) is the key : if it is not, then performance is poor. I find it reasonable to pin the DR$I table in memory and if you look at competitors this is what they do. With MongoDB they explicitly says that the index must be in memory. With elasticsearch, they use JVM's that are also in memory. And effectively, if you look at the awr report, you will see that Oracle is continuously accessing the DR$I table, there is a SQL similar to
    SELECT /*+ DYNAMIC_SAMPLING(0) INDEX(i) */    
    TOKEN_FIRST, TOKEN_LAST, TOKEN_COUNT, ROWID    
    FROM DR$idxname$I
    WHERE TOKEN_TEXT = :word AND TOKEN_TYPE = :wtype    
    ORDER BY TOKEN_TEXT,  TOKEN_TYPE,  TOKEN_FIRST
    which is continuously done.
    I think that the algorithm used by Oracle to keep blocks in cache is too complex. A just realized that in 12.1.0.2 (was released last week) there is finally a "killer" functionality, the in-memory parameters, with which you can pin tables or columns in memory with compression, etc. this looks ideal for the text index, I hope that R. Ford will finally update his white paper :-)
    But my other problem was that the optimize_index in REBUILD mode caused the DR$I table to double in size : it seems crazy that this was closed as not a bug but it was and I can't do anything about it. It is a bug in my opinion, because the create index command and "alter index rebuild" command both result in a much smaller index, so why would the guys that developped the optimize function (is it another team, using another algorithm ?) make the index two times bigger ?
    And for that the track I have been following is to put the index in a 16K tablespace : in this case the space used by the index remains more or less flat (increases but much more reasonably). The difficulty here is to pin the index in memory because the trick of R. Ford was not working anymore.
    What worked:
    first set the keep_pool to zero and set the db_16k_cache_size to instead. Then change the storage preference to make sure that everything you want to cache (mostly the DR$I) table come in the tablespace with the non-standard block size of 16k.
    Then comes the tricky part : the pre-loading of the data in the buffer cache. The problem is that with Oracle 12c, Oracle will use direct_path_read for FTS which basically means that it bypasses the cache and read directory from file to the PGA !!! There is an event to avoid that, I was lucky to find it on a blog (I can't remember which, sorry for the credit).
    I ended-up doing that. the events to 10949 is to avoid the direct path reads issue.
    alter session set events '10949 trace name context forever, level 1';
    alter table DR#idxname0001$I cache;
    alter table DR#idxname0002$I cache;
    alter table DR#idxname0003$I cache;
    SELECT /*+ FULL(ITAB) CACHE(ITAB) */ SUM(TOKEN_COUNT),  SUM(LENGTH(TOKEN_INFO)) FROM DR#idxname0001$I;
    SELECT /*+ FULL(ITAB) CACHE(ITAB) */ SUM(TOKEN_COUNT),  SUM(LENGTH(TOKEN_INFO)) FROM DR#idxname0002$I;
    SELECT /*+ FULL(ITAB) CACHE(ITAB) */ SUM(TOKEN_COUNT),  SUM(LENGTH(TOKEN_INFO)) FROM DR#idxname0003$I;
    SELECT /*+ INDEX(ITAB) CACHE(ITAB) */  SUM(LENGTH(TOKEN_TEXT)) FROM DR#idxname0001$I ITAB;
    SELECT /*+ INDEX(ITAB) CACHE(ITAB) */  SUM(LENGTH(TOKEN_TEXT)) FROM DR#idxname0002$I ITAB;
    SELECT /*+ INDEX(ITAB) CACHE(ITAB) */  SUM(LENGTH(TOKEN_TEXT)) FROM DR#idxname0003$I ITAB;
    It worked. With a big relief I expected to take some time out, but there was a last surprise. The command
    exec ctx_ddl.optimize_index(idx_name=>'idxname',part_name=>'partname',optlevel=>'REBUILD');
    gqve the following
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
    DRG-50857: oracle error in drftoptrebxch
    ORA-14097: column type or size mismatch in ALTER TABLE EXCHANGE PARTITION
    ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.DRUE", line 160
    ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.CTX_DDL", line 1141
    ORA-06512: at line 1
    Which is very much exactly described in a metalink note 1645634.1 but in the case of a non-partitioned index. The work-around given seemed very logical but it did not work in the case of a partitioned index. After experimenting, I found out that the bug occurs when the partitioned index is created with  dbms_pclxutil.build_part_index procedure (this enables  enables intra-partition parallelism in the index creation process). This is a very annoying and stupid bug, maybe there is a work-around, but did not find it on metalink
    Other points of attention with the text index creation (stuff that surprised me at first !) ;
    - if you use the dbms_pclxutil package, then the ctx_output logging does not work, because the index is created immediately and then populated in the background via dbms_jobs.
    - this in combination with the fact that if you are on a RAC, you won't see any activity on the box can be very frightening : this is because oracle can choose to start the workers on the other node.
    I understand much better how the text indexing works, I think it is a great technology which can scale via partitioning. But like always the design of the application is crucial, most of our problems come from the fact that we did not choose the right sectioning (we choosed PATH_SECTION_GROUP while XML_SECTION_GROUP is so much better IMO). Maybe later I can convince the dev to change the sectionining, especially because SDATA and MDATA section are not supported with PATCH_SECTION_GROUP (although it seems to work, even though we had one occurence of a bad result linked to the existence of SDATA in the index definition). Also the whole problematic of mixed structured/unstructured searches is completly tackled if one use XML_SECTION_GROUP with MDATA/SDATA (but of course the app was written for Oracle 10...)

    All Buttons are functioning Properly when I Pressing (One Key Stroke) 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0 using Numeric KeyPad.
    But I am not able to apply this Technique on "*" , "/" , "-" , "+" , "." , "Num Lock".
    How Can I utilize these Characters(*,-,+,/,NumLock) in my application to perform a certain task using Single Key Stroke through Buttons or any other way in Oracle Forms 6i.
    Note : We don't want to give Keyboard / Mouse to User. We have given a Numeric KeyPad to the User for a Certain Task.
    Thanks in Advance

    It works for me on 10g but the only pitfall is the " * ", the workaround is to use the " & " in the label next to the key you want.
    for example:
    Button*   label &*
    Button-   label   &-
    Button/   label   &/
    Button+   label   &+
    Button.   label   &.Try it

  • T-SQL functions in ORACLE

    Use T-SQL functions in ORACLE too, so you can write one script version that works in SYBASE, SQLSERVER and ORACLE when need to use the following functions:
    ceiling, charindex, dateadd, datediff, datename, datepart, day, db_id, db_name, getdate, host_id, host_name, left, len, month, replicate, right, space, str, str_replace, stuff, substring, suser_id, suser_name, user_id, user_name and year.
    The file [comp_tsql_ORA_schema.txt|http://forums.databasejournal.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=564&d=1258547015] creates the tablespace and schema to put the objects, and the file [comp_tsql_ORA.txt|http://forums.databasejournal.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=569&d=1259256898] creates the functions into the new schema. They will be avaliable for any schema of the oracle instance.
    Hope this help!
    Any suggestion please contact.

I'm no longer convinced that elegance is a desirable trait for a language. So call me a heretic.
    Ever tried XLISP? :-)
    It's different. Back then it was simply the language itself. And it was not really a religious kind of battle, but more a mine-is-bigger-and-better-than-yours one.
    With Java, it is all about The Acrhitecture and the blessed language of Java. ;-)
    I wouldn't so much blame J2EE believers for that. I think there is a fundamental complexity to web type paradigms that hasn't been described in a precise and encompassing enough manner to enable correct project planning.The basic problem is that the database is treated as a persistent storage layer only. A bit bucket. And that is exactly what a database is not.
    But as it is used that, loads of database features now need to be duplicated in the application layer. Which is done. Very poorly.
    Heck, I've even been told that J2EE's 3-tier architecture is not client server. Such ignorance is really unbelievable. Or is it pure stupidity?Until you just made me look it up, I would have thought that too, I'm sure I saw client/server defined as two-tier in the last century. But I have much more stupid misdefinitions to deal with on a daily basis, simply from the multiplicity of paradigms. I tend to retreat into my shell. Hehehe. Know that feeling... These days I rather run away, or set shields to full power, than try to get in yet another frustrating, fruitless and futile discussion with a Java head about the wonders of the J2EE architecture. Or trying to explain that this "new" architecture is predated with what we used in the 80's on mainframe systems with transaction monitors, block devices (the 80's web browsers) and databases - which software layer for software layer was almost identical to "+The Great Architecture+" of today. (and we did it without buzzwords too) ;-)
    Client-server is a software architecture and in essence describes 3 basic software components. The User Interface (UI), the Application (APP) and the Database (DB). And there are various ways to put these components together in a client-server architecture. The mistake that the Java fanbois make is thinking that client-server means having the client as the UI and APP as a single component (so-called fat client) and then the DB component as the server.
    There are numerous versions of these - including the APP component being a server component (as we now these days more commonly used in over the web).
    My beef with the J2EE "+religion+" always has been that client-server is client-server. The fundamentals stay the same.

    I will be very thankful for guidance in this regard.
    Thanks,

    This is the internal call which drives the SYNC call for a text index. Effectively all the indexing of new and updated data in your text-indexed table is contained within this call.
    If you're using parallel SYNC you will see this call contained with a SELECT query - that select is executed as a parallel query on a table function, which is the way we divide up the work between parallel slaves.

  • Using oracle text on a non-materialized view

    I'm having trouble tracking down an error when using oracle text on a non-materialized view (indexes are on the referenced columns). My database has a users table and a user history table which saves the old values when a user profile changes. My view performs a "union all" so I can select from both at once.
    I would like to use oracle text to perform a "contains" on the view whenever someone signs up to see if any current users or historical entries contain the desired username.
    The following works fine:
    contains(user_history_view, 'bill')but when I reference anything in the contains clause, i get a "column is not indexed" error:
    contains(user_history_view, signup.user_name) --signup.username is 'bill'Here is a stripped-down demonstration (I am using version 10.2.0.4.0)
    create table signup (
      signup_id   number(19,0) not null,
      signup_name varchar2(255),
      primary key (signup_id)
    create table users (
      user_id   number(19,0) not null,
      user_name varchar2(255),
      primary key (user_id)
    create table user_history (

    --user bill changed his name to bob, and there is a pending signup for another bill
    insert into users(user_id, user_name) values (1, 'bob');
    insert into user_history(history_id, user_id, user_name) values (1, 1, 'bill');
    insert into signup(signup_id, signup_name) values(1, 'bill');
    commit;
    --works
    select * from user_history_view users, signup new_user
    where new_user.signup_id = 1

    where new_user.signup_id = 1
    and contains(users.user_name, new_user.signup_name)>0;I could move everything into a materialized view, but querying against real-time data like this would be ideal. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    this is to my knowledge not possible. It is hard for Oracle to do, think about a table with many rows, every row with that column must be checked. So I think only a single varchar2 is possible. Maybe for you will a function work. It is possible to give a function as second parameter.
    function return_signup
    return varchar2
    is
      l_signup_name signup.signup_name%type;
    begin
      select signup_name
      into l_signup_name
      from signup
      where signup_id = 1
      and rownum = 1
      return l_signup_name;
    exception
      when no_data_found
      then
        l_signup_name := 'abracadabra'; -- hope does not exist
        return l_signup_name;
    end;Now you can use above function in the contains.
    select * from user_history_view users --, signup new_user
    --where new_user.signup_id = 1
    where contains(users.user_name, return_signup)>0;I didn't test the code! Maybe you have to adjust the function for your needs. But it is a idea how this can be done.
    Otherwise you must make the check by normaly check the columns by simple using a join:
    select * from user_history_view users, signup new_user
    where new_user.signup_id = 1
    and users.user_name = new_user.signup_name;Herald ten Dam

  • Oracle Text and APEX

    Hello
    Tried the Oracle White Paper - Oracle Text Web Applications
    Created the table and populated with relevant url links
    create table htmldb_documentation(
    id number,
    doc_title varchar2(4000),
    doc_url varchar2(4000))
    then created the index
    create index htmldb_doc_ctxidx on htmldb_documentation(doc_url)
    indextype is ctxsys.context
    parameters ('datastore CTXSYS.URL_DATASTORE')
    Then ran my SQL for the report in Toad and APEX SQL Workshop>SQL Commands before creating an APEX Region based on a SQL Report
    select score(1) relevance, doc_title, doc_url
    from htmldb_documentation
    where CONTAINS (doc_url, :P1_SEARCH, 1) > 0
    order by 1 desc
    After running the APEX Report I get error
    report error:
    ORA-29902: error in executing ODCIIndexStart() routine
    ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:

    Any ideas ?? I'm running APEX 3.1.0.00.32 on Oracle 10.2.0.1 on WindowsXP
    If I replace the bind variable :P1_SEARCH, with a literal value the error disappears

    Couple of things to check:
    1) do you have an item called P1_SEARCH in your application?
    2) If so, make sure that it has a value; otherwise, Oracle Text gets confused and will throw that error.
    You may want to consider using a PL/SQL Function Returning SQL Query that will only append the CONTAINS clause if P1_SEARCH has some value.

  • How to use Oracle text

    I'm storing files in a blob field in a 9i database, sometimes I need to query using the details stored in the database about the file and sometimes I need to search the files to find matches with some text (like search engine), I was told that oracle text can help me accomplish this functionality , however I don't know if it supports arabic text and I don't know how to use it from my application developed in 9i.
    Regards.

    Please note that in SqlPlus you can use '?' in stead of $ORACLE_HOME, and this works on Unix and Windows so if you want to execute $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catalog.sql you can simply use:
    on Unix sql> @?/rdbms/admin/catalog.sql
    on Windows sql> @?\rdbms\admin\catalog.sql
    5.2.1 Explanation of installation steps
    1. Connected to database as SYSDBA and create CTXSYS user:
    Ctxsys user is created by calling following script:
    @?/ctx/admin/dr0csys.sql <ctxsys> <system> <temp>
    Where:
    change_on_install - is the ctxsys user password
    DRSYS - is the default tablespace for ctxsys
    TEMP - is the temporary tablespace for ctxsys
    This will create user CTXSYS and grants full privileges to CTXSYS in order to create and insert into result tables, execute callbacks, rewrite queries, and perform system cleanup. At this point CTXSYS will not own any objects.ss
    2. Connected to database as CTXSYS and create all necessary objects
    All necessary object are creates by calling following script:
    connect CTXSYS/change_on_install
    @?/ctx/admin/dr0inst <replace with $ORACLE_HOME>/ctx/lib/libctxx9.so;
    Please not that you have to put full path to your ORACLE_HOME, for example home as paramter
    On Solaris/Aix/Linux with $ORACLE_HOME of /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7
    @?/ctx/admin/dr0inst.sql /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/ctx/lib/libctxx8.so
    On HP-UX with $ORACLE_HOME of /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7
    @?/ctx/admin/dr0inst.sql /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7/ctx/lib/libctxx8.sl
    Windows NT/2000 with D:\oracle\product\8.1.7
    @?/ctx/admin/dr0inst.sql D:\oracle\product\8.1.7\bin\oractxx8.dll
    This will installs all Oracle database objects required by the Oracle Text system. This includes:
    a) Data dictionary tables, views, sequence, packages
    b) Server management tables, views and packages
    c) Dispatcher packages
    d) Service queue objects
    3) Install appropriate language-specific default preferences.
    The next step is to install appropriate language-specific default preferences.When you use CREATE INDEX to create an index or ALTER INDEX to manage an index, you can optionally specify indexing preferences in the parameter string. There are seven preference classes:
    - Lexer, defines the language being indexed. ( language specific )
    - Wordlist, defines the expantion of stem and fuzzy queries. ( language specific )
    - Stoplist, defines words and themes that are not be indexed. ( language specific )
    - Datastore, defines document storage.
    - Filter, defines standards for converion of documents to plaintext.
    - Storage, defines the storage of the index tables.
    - Section group, enables possibilities to define document sections.
    There is script which creates language-specific default preferences for every language Oracle text supports in <ORACLE_HOME>/ctx/admin/defaults directory, such as English(US), Danish(DK), Dutch(NL), Finnish(SF), French(FR), German(DE), Italian(IT), Portuguese(PR), Spanish(ES), and Swedish(S). They are named in the form drdefXX.sql, where XX is the language code. To manually install US default preferences, for example, log into sqlplus as CTXSYS, and run 'drdefus.sql' as described below:
    @?/ctx/admin/defaults/drdefus.sql
    create user textuser identified by textuser
    default tablespace users
    temporary tablespace temp;
    -- You must grant 'ctxapp' role to textuser
    grant connect, resource, ctxapp to textuser;
    connect textuser/textuser
    drop table quick;
    create table quick (
    quick_id number
    constraint quick_pk primary key,
    text varchar2(80) );
    insert into quick ( quick_id, text ) values (1,'The cat sat on the mat');
    insert into quick ( quick_id, text ) values (2,'The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog' );
    insert into quick ( quick_id, text ) values (3,'The dog barked like a dog');
    commit;
    create index quick_text on quick ( text )
    indextype is ctxsys.context;
    col text format a45
    col s format 999
    select text, score(42) s from quick
    where contains ( text, 'dog', 42 ) > 0
    order by s desc;

  • Is Oracle Text the right solution for this need of a specific search!

    Hi ,
    We are on Oracle 11.2.0.2 on Solaris 10. We have the need to be able to do search on data that are having diacritical marks and we should be able to do the serach ignoring this diacritical marks. That is the requirement. Now I got to hear that Oracle Text has a preference called BASIC_LEXER which can bypass the diacritical marks and so solely due to this feature I implemented Oracle Text and just for this diacritical search and no other need.
    I mean I set up preference like this:
      ctxsys.ctx_ddl.create_preference ('cust_lexer', 'BASIC_LEXER');
      ctxsys.ctx_ddl.set_attribute ('cust_lexer', 'base_letter', 'YES'); -- removes diacritics
    With this I set up like this:
    CREATE TABLE TEXT_TEST
      NAME  VARCHAR2(255 BYTE)
    --created Oracle Text index
    CREATE INDEX TEXT_TEST_IDX1 ON TEXT_TEST
    (NAME)
    INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT
    PARAMETERS('LEXER cust_lexer WORDLIST cust_wl SYNC (ON COMMIT)');
    --sample data to illustrate the problem

    PAUL HERNANDEZMy entire need was only to be able to do a search that bypasses diacritical characters. To implement Oracle Text for that reason, I am wondering if that was the right choice! More so when I am now finding that the functionality of LIKE is not available in Oracle Text - the Oracle text search are based on tokens or words and they are different from output of the LIKE operator. So may be should I have just used a simple function like below and used that for my purpose instead of using Oracle Text:
    This function (remove_dia) just removes the diacritical characters and may be for my need this is all that is needed. Can someone help to review that given my need I am better of not using Oracle Text? I need to continue using the functionality of Like operator and also need to bypass diacritical characters so the simple function that I have meets my need whereas Oracle Text causes a change in behaviour of search queries.
    Thanks,
    OrauserN

    If all you need is LIKE functionality and you do not need any of the complex search capabilities of Oracle Text, then I would not use Oracle Text. I would create a function-based index on your name column that uses your function that removes the diacritical marks, so that your searches will be faster. Please see the demonstration below.

  • How I work with MS-SQL function in oracle

    I’m working in oracle now but I don’t know how can I use following function in oracle.
    convert, dateadd, datediff, fetch_status, isnumeric, reverse, str and stuff

    Also available in 10g, the model clause version, taken from this How to display text in reverse order ?.
    WITH t AS (SELECT 'abcdefg' col1
                 FROM DUAL
                UNION
               SELECT ''
                 FROM DUAL   )
    SELECT col1
         , new_col1
      FROM t       
    MODEL
       PARTITION BY (ROWNUM rn)
       DIMENSION BY (0 dim)
       MEASURES     (col1, CAST ('' AS VARCHAR2(255)) new_col1)
       RULES ITERATE(99) UNTIL (LENGTH(new_col1[0]) = LENGTH(col1[0]))
          (new_col1[0] = SUBSTR(col1[0], ITERATION_NUMBER + 1, 1) || new_col1[0])
    COL1    NEW_COL1

  • Oracle text search query

    Dear Professionals,
    I am using oracle text functionality(11g).
    Is there any way to replace '-' with space and search the as full text as '18005-12220',or partial(either 18005 or 12220 ) as keyword.
    case 1)
    select * from search_table where CONTAINS(searchdata,'18005\-12220')>0;
    o/p=>18005-12220   xyz  abc   address 145
    case 2)
    select * from search_table where CONTAINS(searchdata,'18005')>0;
    o/p=>no rows
    case 3)
    select * from search_table where CONTAINS(searchdata,'12220')>0;
    o/p=>no rows
