Oracle 9.2.0.6; query hangs if partition doesn't exist

Hallo all,
this is the first time I post on this forum.
I work in a group of PL\SQL developers in Italy. Few day ago we had a problem with a query and like to find out what the problem is.
We have an Oracle DB version 9.2.0.6 (old I know) in a production environment. Linux OS.
The query was made to extract data from a partitined table, on a partioned field, in our casa one Year. By mistake we have serced for the wrong year, 2013. There where no data for that year and therefor no partition.
So, happened that the query hangs and after 24 hours was terminated.
What we expected indeed was a zero records retirned in, at the most, few minutes, see that the table, in severa partition contains about 16 million records.
The we tested the same query but in a different enviroment, Oracle 11gr2, same table structure, same partitioning, without partition 2013, and the query completed in less tha 1 minute with zero records in output.
At this point we thought of a bug, but can't find any reference.
Has anyone had a similar experience or can give some indication of possible bug report.
Thanks for any help.

Hi Rob,
thank you for your answer.
Sorry if this is not the best forum. I am not very practical.
I try to answer to your questions.
At a first time we thought the query did a full scan on the table. Yes. But even to full scan 16.000.000 records split in no more than 8 partition (at this time) shouldn't take up to 24 hours and never stop running. I think.
We don't have a DBA role so we do not have full control over what is running. And take too long time to open a ticket and ask the DBA to check.
What we did is testing the same query in a pre-prod environment, which is an Oracle 11gr2.
I understand that it is not very usual to have a pre-production environment with a latest version of oracle but this is the way we have to work.
Anyway, the test in pre-production worked very well. Without 2013 partition the return was very fast and we had zero records as expected.
Then we found a workaround for production, ora 9. Call it work around maybe is too much ........
We created the 2013 partition and run the query. The respons was then succesfull in about the same time than in pre-prod. Less than one minute and zero records.
And this is fine for us.
What we don't understand is why this different behavior with two different version of DB. Thats why we think it is due to a bug. We only want to find out whether it is this or if there is a different reason.
Some other response or help would help.
Thank you.

Error Opening Reports (Cannot find Dimension Scenario, Error executing query: the member null doesn't exist in this application)

Hello,
two of our users get the following error message, when opening two specific reports:
First Report: Cannot find Dimension Scenario.
Second Report: Error executing query: the member null doesn't exist in this application.
Other users can access these reports, and the same users where the problem occurs can access other reports in the same folder.
I set the same rights for me, but i can access the reports without problems.
Somebody encountered the same problem before?

Hi there,
I had the same issue a few weeks ago... not sure how it happened but it was related only with my username.
In order to fix it:
1. I created a report which does not require to select the scenario in advance. Try to use the default data-grid that you get when you first create a report for example.
2. When the user runs the report, try to see if he can see the dimension. Do not use the missing dimension on rows or columns. If he can see the dimension, ask him to select one scenario. This will solve the issue.
3. If he cannot see the dimension, try to change the layout of the report.

Sql query hangs close to the end

Hi:
I am on 10.2.0.3.
My rather simple query hangs for a few minutes close to the end. It's supposed to return 288 rows and it immediately returns 285, then hangs for 4-5 min, than returns the remaining 3 rows. Kind of similar behavior to using "First_rows" hint - which I'm not using...
The table has about 100,000 rows.
Some relevant info is below.
Any ides appreciated.
TIA

You said the query is supposed to return 288 rows, but from the explain plan, Oracle "see" only 1 row to be returned. Are the stats up-to-date ? What's the actual query ?
Please, on the forum side, use tags before and after your code to keep it readable (preserve blanks and tabs).

Query Hangs while Parsing

In one of our databases, one of the Select query hangs at the parsing stage. The query was working fine few days back. How and what can be traced to see the cause of this hang. Database is in 10.2.0.3 and statistics has been gathered for all the affected tables.

Thanks for the info. The SEQ# is not changing in the v$session_waits. I have found a workaround for this problem. If I delete the statistics for CS_MEASUREMENT table, the query gets executed in .35 secs! If i collect stats again and runs, it hangs.
The session trace below.

Join Query hanging

hi experts,
please help on this, we have migrated database from 10g to 11.2.0.3 , Everything went sccessful but one of the simple join query hanging occasionally in new upgraded database. is there any known issue or anything need to add after migration for sqls?,also before migration its was executed without any issues. that query is joining and fetching from two more tables . is there any generic reason please provide that would be helpful to analyze, Thanks in Advance.

why wasn't this discovered during testing prior to the upgrade?
does new DB have current statistics?
How do I ask a question on the forums?

Query hangs with outer query

Hi,
OS: SPARC 64 bit
Oracle Version: 10.2.0.3.0 64 bit
My query hangs when I include the outer query. When I execute without outer query It comes out in a fraction of second but when I includes outer query it starts hang
Below is my original query which hangs
select * from (select raw_sql_.**, rownum raw_rnum_ from (SELECT /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ NETWORK_ID||'","'||CALLER_NUMBER||'","'||CALLED_NUMBER FROM CDR FROM CDR WHERE 1 = 1
AND day_of_year = 99 AND INTERFACE = 'TRAFIC' AND TIME_STAMP BETWEEN to_date('2009/04/08 00:00:00','yyyy/mm/dd hh24:mi:ss') AND to_date
('2009/04/09 00:00:00','yyyy/mm/dd hh24:mi:ss') AND NETWORK_ID IN (1025,1026) order by id desc) raw_sql_ WHERE rownum <= 10000) WHERE raw_rnum_ > 0;
when I execute this it will come out immediately
select raw_sql_.**, rownum raw_rnum_ from (SELECT /*+ FIRST_ROWS */ NETWORK_ID||'","'||CALLER_NUMBER||'","'||CALLED_NUMBER FROM CDR FROM CDR WHERE 1 = 1

I suspect the issue with the where clause (raw_rnum_ > 0)
Actually I using bitmap index on ' INTERFACE' column. Does it causing a prob or raw_rnum_ causing a problem?Boo,
a couple of comments:
1. Why do you use the deprecated FIRST_ROWS hint? From 9i on the FIRST_ROWS_n mode should be used instead, and since you're using a top-N query format the hint should be superfluous anyway since the optimizer should switch to FIRST_ROWS_n mode automatically.
2. Why do you use a BITMAP index and not a conventional b*tree index? Let me hazard a guess: Because the INTERFACE column has a small number of distinct values? That would be in most cases a bad idea.
3. What seems to be odd that you're accessing the data via the BITMAP index on INTERFACE, but request an ORDER BY ID DESC. But there is no order by in the execution plan posted. I wonder where the order should come from? Can you show us the DDL of the bitmap index?
4. What does the plan look like if you run only the inner query without the outer query?
You can always gain more information by tracing the statement execution or using the GATHER_PLAN_STATISTICS hint together with the DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_CURSOR function.

Frm-40505:ORACLE error: unable to perform query in oracle forms 10g

Hi,
I get error frm-40505:ORACLE error: unable to perform query on oracle form in 10g environment, but the same form works properly in 6i.
Please let me know what do i need to do to correct this problem.
Regards,
Priya

Hi everyone,
I have block created on view V_LE_USID_1L (which gives the error frm-40505) . We don't need any updation on this block, so the property 'updateallowed' is set to 'NO'.
To fix this error I modified 'Keymode' property, set it to 'updatable' from 'automatic'. This change solved the problem with frm-40505 but it leads one more problem.
The datablock v_le_usid_1l allows user to enter the text (i.e. updated the field), when the data is saved, no message is shown. When the data is refreshed on the screen, the change done previously on the block will not be seen (this is because the block updateallowed is set to NO), how do we stop the fields of the block being editable?
We don't want to go ahead with this solution as, we might find several similar screens nad its diff to modify each one of them individually. When they work properly in 6i, what it doesn't in 10g? does it require any registry setting?

Query hangs on Value Help

Hi,
We have created a query in which we are using quantity conversion ( defined in RSUOM ) , the target quantity is to be taken from a variable. The quantity conversions is running fine but when we do a value help for the target quantity variable in Portal, the query hangs. We are not facing any such issue in Bex Analyzer.
Please share your ideas on what could be the possible reason for this.
Thanks and Regards,
Manish Sharma

Hello Manish,
This is clearly a Portal issue.
Probably an issue with BI Java.
I recommend you to update your BI Java components to latest patch recommended by Java SP_Patch Matrix.
If you are using Netweaver 7.0, please check the link below:

Applying the patches recommended should solve the issue.
Also, as a recommendation, run the BI Diagnostics - note 937697 - and correct the red alerts.

WMI query hanging

I have some code (VB Script) that is collecting CPU performance metrics from WMI. The code works well on all of the servers (identical servers) but after a period of time (8 hours, 30 hours, other random times) on some of the servers the query hangs.
After several hours (e.g. 8 hours) the query will work again on the server. I have used WBEMTEST to query the CIMv2 namespace to perform the same query on the server where WMI is having a problem and it also hangs.
The query eventually times out and does not return a value.
I have asked the team to rebuild WMI and after they completed the rebuild, the problem still occurs.
Since the code is only performing a read operation on WMI, I do not see how the query can cause the hang of WMI.
Any ideas on what I should do next?
Thanks

Hi,
Before going further, would you please let me know whether install all
necessary Windows Updates on those servers?
à
but after a period of time (8 hours, 30 hours, other random times) on some of the servers the query hangs.
When the
hang issue occurred, please check if consume high RAM or CPU. Just a confirmation, thanks for your understanding.
In addition, please use the WMI Diagnosis Utility and check if can help you to analyze this issue. for more
details, please refer to following articles.

Query hangs on 2.4 release

I was migrating the code from 2.3 to 2.4 and tested the query with a fairly large expression, the query hangs:
my test query is this:
"collection('people.dbxml')/people/person[name=$name and (@id!=655 and @id!=660 and @id!=659 and @id!=664 and @id!=663 and @id!=655 and @id!=660 and @id!=663 and @id!=661 and @id!=662 and @id!=657 and @id!=691 and @id!=689 and @id!=692 and @id!=658 and @id!=689 and @id!=654 and @id!=688)]";
that worked on 2.3, anyone has a solution??

The query optimizer in DB XML 2.4 has had a big overhaul, and it's now performing a lot more optimizations than the previous version used to. I've found and fixed your bug now, and it should be being released as a patch soon.
Please detail any suspected bugs in a thread on the forums - one of the DB XML developers will work with you to find and resolve your problems.
Jhon, your problems seem to be quite different to the one in this thread.

Is it possible to retrieve data from an Oracle db with an LDAP query?

Our application uses an LDAP query to retrieve data from Microsoft Active Directory. Is it also possible to retrieve data from an Oracle database with an LDAP query?

if you have Oracle Internet Directory, you will retrieve with ldapsearch data, which are physically stored in the database. But to select * from emp where ename='SCOTT', it is probably not possible.
At least I have never heard of such a product which translate ldap query in sql query. But feel free to write your own one in perl :-)

Oracle Forms to open the Query Where dialog box

Hi,
"By typing a colon in a field, the end user can cause Oracle Forms to open the Query Where dialog box, allowing the end user to specify conditions that are too complex to specify by entering values into fields".
I have tried above thing, but where clause dialog box not opening.
Somebody can help me out.

FRM-40505 Oracle Error: Unable to perform query(URGENT)

Hi I developed a form with a control_block and table_block(based on table)
in same Canvas.
Based on values on control_block and pressing Find button detail block will be queried.
Control_block ->
textitem name "payment_type" char type
text item name "class_code " char type
push button "find"
base table: --> payment_terms(termid,payment_type,class_code,other colums)
table_block is based on above table
Now I have written when-button-pressed trigger on find button..
declare
l_search varchar2(100);
BEGIN
l_search := 'payment_type='|| :control_block .payment_type||' AND class_code='||:control_block .class_code ;
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('table_block',DEFAULT_WHERE,l_search);
go_block('table_block');
EXECUTE_QUERY;
EXCEPTION
     when others then
     null;
END;
I am getting
FRM-40505 Oracle Error: Unable to perform query
please help..

You don't need to build the default_where at run time. Just hard-code the WHERE Clause property as:
column_x = :PARAMETER.X
But, if for some compelling reason, you MUST do it at run time this should work:
Set_block_property('MYBLOCK',Default_where,
'COLUMN_X=:PARAMETER.X');
Note that there are NO quotes except for first and last. If you get some sort of error when you query, you should actually see :Parameter.X replaced with :1 when you do Help, Display Error.

Oracle not Available, Shared Memory realm doesn't exist

Hi,
I have problem during XE installation on Windows 2003 R2 SP 2 Enterprise edition. I have uninstall the oracle xe and the result still the same. Finally I uninstall the windows and start all over again, surprisingly the result still the same. FYI, we normally has no issue during installation because this is part of our system we sell to our customer which require oracle xe. This is the first time we have seen this issue.
ORA-01034 : Oracle Not available
ORA-27101 : Shared memory realm doesn't exist.
Oracle XE and listener services is started in the windows services.
if we try to do startup the following message occured.
SQL> connect /as sysdba
Connected to an idle instance.
SQL> startup
ORA-44412: XE edition memory parameter invalid or not specified
SQL>
I can send you the oracle_xe log, init ora, and OpsBuildAll.log to create the database.
When we compare with the working installation, we saw that the size of oraclexe folder is less, it's just 233MB while the working one is over 1GB. After investigation, found out that the .dbf files is not avaiable in the oradata folder, i have tried to copy those files from the working one but the problem stay the same, probably there are a lot of files more missing.
Appreciate your help on this.
Thanks,
Agus
