ORA00904 when text query runs

HI,
I've got a problem about textual queries.
I've a textual query with 'contains' that runs over the developer's database (oracle 9i), but when it runs over the production database (Oracle 9i) it doesn't work. Oracle returns ORA00904. What's the matter?
How can I check if is an installation problem or query problem?
The query is:
SELECT SCORE(1) as peso, id, desc_documento
from esulp_si.documento
WHERE CONTAINS(ogg_documento, 'sono', 1) > 0
It seems not exists the CTXSYS Schema (select COUNT(*) from all_users where UPPER(username) = 'CTXSYS' GIVES 0).
Thanks for your help Marco

Try this in development and production seperately and compare it.
SELECT table_name
, column_name
FROM all_tab_columns
WHERE owner = 'OPIS'
ORDER BY table_name, column_id

Which tables are hit when a query runs - time dependent objects performance

Hello all,
We are trying to see what are the effects of time dependent master data objects in query. We will have a key date as variable so user can see the data as a particular point.
I am trying to see what are all the tables hit when a query is executed and how the time dependent info objects affect performance. Basically we are trying to see is - does the query hit the P or Q or Y tables of the infoobject. Is there any tcode or program that I can use to see which tables were hit and how much time the query took to execute.
Also if the time dependent attribute is in free characteristic does it directly effect the query.
If you can share some more experience with time dependent master data objects in query and its effects on performance that will be great.
Thanks all in advance

Hello Siggi, Thanks for inputs
That is what I actually did before posting message here, the tables that are hit are /BI0/S...or /BI0/R and /BI0/T.... I never see the tables /BI0/P or /BI0/Q ... tables hit. I have a key date on variable screen at so when i put future or past date the /BI0/SDATE table is hit does it sound about right to you ?
Is the /S table hit the most because the data is being seen from the SID's that are generated.
Can you share your thoughts.
Thanks again,
Have assigned you points.

Preventing drill down after query runs

I have an Order query with a hierarchy attached to the infoObject. I created select-option on the Hierarchy node with a node variable. When the query runs if we tell it to display 1 level it works as desired by showing the node name and total. The problem here is the user can then drill down on the hierarchy and we don't want that because we have three summary queries in a workbook and a grand total number at the bottom.
We like the summary number but can we turn off the drill down?
Thanks

Hi Marcus,
I do not know how to turn off interactive features once and for all. But, here are a couple of ideas (implemented in a workbook).
1. I need a certain characteristic displayed as "Key + Text". Each time query is refreshed, I check to ensure the correct display of that characteristic. If the characteristic is displayed correctly, OK. If the characteristic is displayed, but not correctly, I use the OLAP command "PC02" to display it correctly. If the characteristic is missing, I push the query all the way back to "start". Here is code for this:
Sub SAPBEXonRefresh(queryID As String, resultArea As Range)
Dim c As Range, myCell As Range
    Set myCell = Nothing
    For Each c In resultArea.Cells
        If c = "Sales Area" Then
            Set myCell = c
            Exit For
        End If
    Next c
    If myCell Is Nothing Then
        Run "sapbex.xla!SAPBEXfireCommand", "STRT", myCell
    Else
        Run "sapbex.xla!SAPBEXfireCommand", "PC02", myCell
    End If
End Sub
2. This example more directly addresses the question of restricting the interactive features. In a workbook, the "Enable Interactive Functions" checked is stored in the query repository sheet (SAPBEXqueries) in column "O". TRUE if checked, FALSE if not checked. You can check to see if this has been changed from FALSE to TRUE, and if it has been changed, you can take the query back to "start". Here is the code for that:
Sub SAPBEXonRefresh(queryID As String, resultArea As Range)
Dim bexWS As Worksheet
    Set bexWS = Sheets("SAPBEXqueries")
    numQ = bexWS.Range("A2")
    For i = 1 To numQ
        If bexWS.Range("F" & i + 3) = queryID Then
            If bexWS.Range("O" & i + 3) = True Then
                bexWS.Range("O" & i + 3) = "FALSE"
                Run "sapbex.xla!SAPBEXfireCommand", "STRT", resultArea
            End If
        End If
    Next i
End Sub

What are the ways to make Query run fast?

Hi Experts,
When a query runs slow, we generally go for creating an aggregate. My doubt is - what other things can be done to make a query run faster before creating an aggregate? What is the thumb rule to be carried out for creating an aggregate?
Regards,
Shreeem

Hi Shreem,
If you keep Query simple not complicate it with runtime calculations , it would be smooth. However as per business requirements we will have to go for it anyways mostly.
regarding aggregates:
Please do not use the standard proposal , it will give you hundreds based on std. rules , which consumes lots of space and adds up to load times. If you have users already using the Query and you are planning to tune it then go for the statistics tables:
1.RSDDSTAT_OLAP find the query with long runtimes get the Stepuid
2. RSDDSTAT_DM
3. RSDDSTATAGGRDEF - use the stepuid above to see which aggregate is necessary for which cube.
Another way to check ; check the users as in 1 to find the highest runtime users and find the last used bookmarks by user thru RSZWBOOKMARK for this query and check if the time matches and create the aggregates as in 3 above.
You can also Use Transaction RSRT > execute & debug (display stats ) - to create generic aggregates to support navigations for New queries and later refine as above.
Hope it helps .

Checking text query validity without actually running the query: ideas?

Hi,
I would like to implement a sort of function that does a preliminary check on the validity of the search string and ideally this function should work with both CTXCAT and CONTEXT indexes (and grammars).
Initially I thought that CTXQUERY.EXPLAIN function could do this for me, but, unless I am missing something, it only works with CONTEXT indexes and it doesn't accept a string containing a text query rewrite using CTXCAT grammar (it throws DRG-11119: operation is not supported by this index type).
Plan B would be to create an empty table with a CONTEXT index and then run the query either with the CONTEXT grammar or the CTXCAT grammar via query rewrite and if the query runs, returning no rows, presumably fast enough for this purpose, then the query string is assumed to be valid.
What I don't like much about plan B is the need for an additional table plus the "dummy" context indexes just to perform the parsing of the text query, but so far I didn't come up with more brilliant ideas.
Any thoughts?
Am I missing something that does the magic without hassle?
Thanks
Flavio

Under normal circumstances I wouldn't do this, as you say I'd just run the query and catch the error, but I need to do this inside a report refresh performed via AJAX (using Oracle Apex) and the catch is that when such refresh fails owing to a syntax error, the partial refresh mechanism of APEX becomes broken, so even if you amend the query and submit a new valid string, it won't show up any more.
That's why I need to be sure that the string is valid before running the query, hence the syntax checking function.
The google-style parser sounds interesting, may be I can try to implement it in a future release of my app!
Thanks
Flavio

Query runs forever when using selection on line item dim

we have a cube zcube which has po number as a line item dimension .
everymonth users run queries this cube using po number as selection
criterai and using a wild card search on this field . every time
queries have run fine . however , this month when we try to do so
the query runs forever and no results are returned . i also tried
listcubing with similar selection but it also did not return any results .
our production system has lot of data . i tried in test system it worked fine
i checked the cube for compression and indices in production , they look fine
can anyone think of anything that could have gone wrong ? also did rsrv tests ..
but all come green
we have not done any developments on this cube , however we have shifted to
a new hardware in the past month . can anyone think of any reasons ?
anything that can help me catch the issue ? all suggestions welcome

Not sure,
Are you saying that you need both the counts seperately? or a combined count?
how are you joining alpha and beta tables? what is the join condition?
you need to do something like this,
SELECT COUNT(CASE WHEN
                    (A.col1 = 'Pete' AND SUBSTR(A.col2,,1,12)=SUBSTR(B.col2,,1,13))
                 OR ( A.col1 != 'Pete' AND SUBSTR(A.col2,,1,15)=SUBSTR(B.col2,,1,15))
                THEN 1 ELSE 0
             END)
FROM alpha A, beta b
WHERE alpha.join_cloumn= beta.join_columnG.

I run out of memory when trying to run a query

I need help with a query. I am trying to extract Total Qty Sold ( and eventually get this data by month), but when I would run the query asking for QTY I get "System Out Of Memory". I removed that party of the query asking for Qty and posted what I came up with below. Any Help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Welcome you post on the forum.
Try this fist:

Oracle Apex - when I open a page the sql query runs

What do I need to change to stop the sql query running when a page is opened in Apex
the page accepts a value to search a table for relevant data. I have set a default value
every time I open the page it runs the sql query using the default value

Does it need a default value? Why I am asking is, you could add a conditional display to your report region that would not show the report until the item has a value entered by the user..
Thank you,

Parsing Error when using query builder

I have a query with a subquery in the WHERE statement witn multiple fields listed in the select statement.
For example, the subquery starts with "AND (center, jobid) IN SELECT center, jobid FROM ........
The query runs fine and gives me the correct data
However when I click on the Query builder option, I receive the following error
"Text is not a valid, single SELECT statement.
Parsing error:

I believe this to be a problem with the query builder, Am I correct?

Query Builder is a visual environment targeted at novice/intermediate users. Some advanced and/or hard to visualize language features are not supported. The improved error messaging coming in 3.1 would indicate this is 'unsupported' rather than 'not a valid, single SELECT statement.' For example, (using scott/tiger):
Text contains unsupported syntax.

I don't know what your real query is, but refactoring to use join on derived table or table expression (or, as Gary said, separate IN clauses) rather than '(a, b) IN' will allow Query Builder to display it.

Query running forever

Hi ,
When i am running query it is running forever and i am not able to get the results. But , iam able to get the results by using the LISTCUBE transaction very fastly for the same selection criteria.
When I observed in SM66 , The work process is always trying to Read the table /bic/03035
appreciate your suggessions and valuble solutions

Hi,
I had the same problem yesterday - the only difference was that SM66 showed a different table name.
My problem was solved by getting the Database team to analyze that particular table. The DB logs showed that the table had been Analyzed a long time back. By getting the table analyzed the execution time for the query was cut down from 15 minutes to 30 seconds.
See if this helps in your scenario as well. The table name that you have given does not appear to be the full table name - enable long text in SM66 to display the table name in full and ask you DB team to check when that table was last analyzed - if it was a long time back then get then to analyze it again and see if it improves the query performance.
Hope it helps,
Regards,
Nikhil

Text query parser issue

Hello guys,
I rather need an advice and my experience with the Oracle forums has always been auspicious.
I am using jDeveloper 11gR2 and Oracle database 11.2.0.1. Running the following query I have a view object based on that query and a search form with results table.
SELECT
SEEKER.SEEKER_ID SEEKER_ID,
SEEKER.CV CV,
SCORE(1)
FROM
SEEKER
WHERE CONTAINS(CV, '<query>
<textquery lang="ENGLISH" grammar="context">' ||
GET_RELATED_CATEGORIES(:keyword) ||
'</textquery>
<score datatype="INTEGER"/>
</query>', 1) > 0
GET_RELATED_CATEGORIES is a function which returns concatenated strings querying some semantic data in my database. The problem is when GET_RELATED_CATEGORIES returns null the "text query parser" is throwing an exception (that is how it is supposed to act).
I am asking for any suggestions for the implementation of that functionality and will be really grateful. Shall I export the whole query in a remote procedure and maybe call it as a web service or there is any other better solution (maybe some checks).
Thank you in advance!

I see two possible ways you can try.
1. cause the function in a way that no null value is returned (return an empty string '')
2. put a nvl (get..., '') around the function

Text is running together on some pages and not others. i've tried no squint and playing around with text options in tools. I can't strike a good balance.

I can't seem to figure out how to have a full screen experience with larger text and everything is in proportion. Either the right end of lines are chopped off, or lines of text are running into each other and out of boundaries.
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== I installed FF earlier this evening. I've had FF before and my gripe was the inability to set a certain magnification. I found the no squint add on and it seems very good, but somewhere I'm getting stuck. I've been fiddling with no squint, font options in tools and size and resolution settings for my monitor.

i'm also having major CPU problems w/ FF 29.0.1. when i restart the app it calms down again but after loading tabs it steadily climbs up to 100% after not too long. i have checked out the 2 CPU links/articles above and do all the basic troubleshooting and tips, but with all the FF tools & add-ons isn't there some sort of CPU monitor that has the ability to display which extensions/scripts are hogging the CPU? Activity Monitor on Mac just shows the total used by the app. it's impossible in my case to efficiently disable dozens of add-ons & scripts, restart, and test each one by one b/c it can take several hrs before the CPU starts to spike high again. i have no time for this.
thanks

Insert statement not working when Interface is run through PI ..

Hi Every one,
There is an interface(Server proxy) which updates a ztable in the program. Updates are happening when we are running this interface manually(putting Payload manually) but in case there are already entries in ztable and we are trying to update these records, even after handling exception z table is not getting updated when run through PI and happening manually.
Please suggest me for the same.

Tobias from this forum had the answer!
http://powershell.com/cs/forums/p/5438/8786.aspx#8786
His fix:
Whenyou putput text from powershell, the console width is assumed. Since task scheduler runs its own hidden console, the width of that console is used to truncate the text.
You can work by this issue by setting the width yourself. Try using a combination of Format-Table -auto / Format-List -auto and Out-File -width like this:
get-process | Format-Table -Auto | Out-File c:\test.txt -Width 10000
The format-cmdlet with -Auto makes sure the file uses only as much width as is truly needed. The -Width parameter sets the maximum width available.
If you must redirect the output to something else, replace Out-File with Out-String -Stream -Width 10000 and then redirect the result to whereever you want.
Note that multiline strings will still be truncated after the first line.
My code looks like this:
#Export Dataset Table to a text file
$DataSet.Tables[0] | Format-Table -Auto | Out-File $rcvrFileName -Width 10000
This worked like a charm.
Thanks!
