Problem selecting from VIEW

Hi All,
I have to select from a maintenance view which is well defined (in ABAP DDIC).
The problem is :
<b>
System is throwing a error saying the view is NOT defined in ABAP DDIC.
</b>
What can be the possible reason for this.
Can we <b>NOT</b> select from maintainance views ?
Please advice.
Regards,
Anirban

HI,
There is no harm in making use of view ...
Can you please let us know the view which you are making use of ??
Regards,
Santosh

Problems managing select * from views

Here a nice sample..
I have a registered schema and a database with 8000 records.
Create view first_search_view as
select extractvalue(XML_CONTENT,'/word/@class') class,
extractValue(xml_content, '/word/*/lemma/text()') lemma,
extractValue(xml_content, '/word/*/adverb/form/w/text()') adverb_form,
extractValue(xml_content, '/word/*/derivation/prebasuf/w/text()') derprebasuf,
extractValue(xml_content, '/word/*/sense/comword/prebasuf/w/text()') comprebasuf,
extract(xml_content, '/word/*/sense/collocation/pattern/w/text()').getstringval() colpattern,
extract(xml_content, '/word/*/idiomExpr/pattern/w/text()') idiompattern,
extract(xml_content, '/word/*/sense/model/realisation/modpattern/w/text()').getstringval() modpattern,
extract(xml_content, '/word/*/sense/*/definition/w/text()').getstringval() definition,
extract(xml_content, '/word/*/sense/description/characteristic/quality/w/text()').getstringval() descquality
from xml_words
all ok and infact
SQL> desc first_search_view;
Name Null? Type
CLASS VARCHAR2(4000 CHAR)
LEMMA VARCHAR2(4000)
ADVERB_FORM VARCHAR2(4000)
DERPREBASUF VARCHAR2(4000)
COMPREBASUF VARCHAR2(4000)
COLPATTERN VARCHAR2(4000)
IDIOMPATTERN SYS.XMLTYPE
MODPATTERN VARCHAR2(4000)
DEFINITION VARCHAR2(4000)
DESCQUALITY VARCHAR2(4000)
But then, when I try to run just:
Create table first_search as
select *
from first_search_view
The answer is
ERROR at line 3:
ORA-19010: Cannot insert XML fragments
I remove the XMLtype field... I think that it is probably the problem.
Create table first_search as
select lemma, adverb_form, DERPREBASUF, COMPREBASUF, COLPATTERN, MODPATTERN, DEFINITION, DESCQUALITY
from first_search_view
from first_search_view
ERROR at line 3:
ORA-19025: EXTRACTVALUE returns value of only one node
but if I run the select....
select lemma, adverb_form, DERPREBASUF, COMPREBASUF, COLPATTERN, MODPATTERN, DEFINITION, DESCQUALITY
from first_search_view
It is executed!!!
There is something wrong.... Really I cannot understand the reason of this.
Anyone could calrify what could be wrong?

Stefano, since you did not post the latest xml instance, i have taken the one posted in your previous thread .
So becuase of which i have to change the XPATH for "idiompattern" column to get some data.
I too had the same problem as you have posted. But when i added a GetStringVal() method to the expression, it converts it to varchar data type and you are able to create the table. Also you can do GetClobVal if the string has chance to exceed 4000 characters. Later you can convert this to XMLTYPE when ever required.

Error while selecting from view that references external table

Can someone explain why the error near the bottom of the code below is occuring? If USER1 grants SELECT on the external table to USER2, then USER2 can select from the view without any problems; however, I want to avoid giving USER2 access to all of the columns in the external table. (I only want to give USER2 access to two of the four columns.)

If USER1 grants SELECT on the external table to USER2, then USER2 can select from the view without any problems; however, I want to avoid giving USER2 access to all of the columns in the external table. (I only want to give USER2 access to two of the four columns.)As you have demonstrated, I guess the view approach only works for database tables. External tables are actually files on the file system. Even through OS, it is not possible to grant READ/WRITE access to only part of the file. The access is for entire file. An "External Table" is just a "wrapper" provided by oracle (using data cartridge) to allow user to be able to access the file as a "table". So it can definitely not do something that underlying OS can not do.
p.s. In fact, oracle does not even allow to edit data in external tables using SQL.Why not just make a second external table (only including the 2 columns you need) and grant select directly on that to the user. I know you say "views only" but there's an exception to every rule ... just because it's called a table doesn't make it so. You could argue an external table is nothing more than a fancy view.
Worst case, make a view on top of the second external table.
CREATE TABLE emp_xt_less_information
first_name VARCHAR2(30),
last_name VARCHAR2(30)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY EXT_DATA_DIR
ACCESS PARAMETERS
    RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE

         last_name   char,
         phone       char
LOCATION ('emp.txt')
REJECT LIMIT 0
{code}
Should do it, but my syntax may be off a touch ....

Selecting from Views and ORA-0600

Hi All,
I am using Oracle 9i and was looking for some guidance on the issue I am seeing.
I have this huge query in which some dataelements are obtained using sys_connect_by_path while the others are got directly. I have set this huge query set up as a view (GetDataView).
I am now trying to query from the view. (I am using a stored procedure to get dataelements from the view and output as a xml).
When I do a 'select * from GetDataView' , the results come back fine. Also, when I query the dataelements which are obtained directly (without sys_connect_by_path), they come back fine as well. However, when I try and get the dataelements which are obtained using
sys_connect_by_path, I get the error :
"An error was encountered while performing the requested operation:
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments:qkacon:qkaconGetPathOps:1],[,],[,],[,],[
00600.0000 - "internal error code, arguments: %s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s,%s".
I know that this is a known issue with Oracle 9i when using sys_connect_by_path but this huge query executes perfectly when I run it independently.
It is only when I try to query the view for individual dataelements(which use sys_connect_by_path) that I get this error.
Can you pls point out what the problem could be here? Also, can you pls suggest any workarounds that I could try.
Thanks in advance,
AD

Two thoughts.
1. ORA-00600 = open an SR at metalink
2. Oracle 9i is in desupport so Oracle is going to suggest that you move this to a currently supported version: Especially if 9i means anything other than 9.2.0.8.
Your query will likely be put to good use by Oracle showing how E-Business Suite is superior to SAP. <g>

ORA-01017: invalid username/password through dblink when select from view

Hello all,
I work on 2 databases :
- One is a 10g (let's call it db_10 )
- The second one is a 11g (let's call it db_11 )
I created a view V_PROTOCOLES in schema SCHEMA_1 on db_11.
The FROM clause of this view call 4 tables :
- table1 : owner is SCHEMA_1
- table2 : owner is SCHEMA_2 (schema on db_11 )
- table3 : owner is SCHEMA_3 (schema on db_10 )
- table4 : owner is SCHEMA_4 (schema on db_10 )
When I simply run SELECT * FROM V_PROTOCOLES on db11 with user X, I can have a result.
The problem occurs when I connect on db10 also with user X. The V_PROTOCOLES view has a public synonym using the dblink DBDOC_LINK (without explicitly specify a user, so it connects with the X user).
But here I can't run the SELECT * FROM V_PROTOCOLES. I Have the following error :
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
ORA-02063: preceding line from DBDOC_LINKThe passwords for user X are obviously the same on both 10g and 11g databases.
Thanks for the help !

On 10g :
select password from dba_users where username = 'U872574';
PASSWORD
30811840BC618B77On 11g :
select password from sys.user$ where name='U872574';
PASSWORD
30811840BC618B77I dropped and recreated the dblink but the problem always occurs...
(By the way, curiously when I dropped the dblink I have no invalid objects although it is used in different packages or triggers)

Brijesh,
Really appreciate your help!
With your hint (#2), I found my problems.
I had 2 problems:
1) I'm missing the 'Model' clause at the end of my view creation (in bold )
2) I shouldn't do a count on all rows (e.g. I get result if I select with parameters)
Here's my working view:
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW SALES_VIEW2
AS
SELECT * FROM TABLE(OLAP_TABLE(
'DW DURATION SESSION',
MEASURE SAMT FROM SALES_SAMT1
DIMENSION PROD_CODE FROM PROD
DIMENSION SMAN_CODE FROM SMAN
DIMENSION TIME_CODE FROM TIME

DIMENSION ORGN_CODE FROM ORGN

Select from view -v- table

Hi Guys,
I was just hoping to get your opinion on something.
I have a procedure in Production that is taking longer and longer to finish and sticks on one certain section of code.
The code is an INSERT into the main dimension table.
This same procedure runs fine on TEST and the section of code completes an awful lot quicker.
The traffic on Production is a lot heavier and there have been applications developed by people other than myself which SELECT from this dimension table. I'm assuming, based on the fact the code in Test and Production are identical, that this increased traffic could be eating up the bandwith and slowing the jobs.
So, I was thinking - if I create Views and let the other applications hit the views as opposed to the main table, will this help speed it up. I did this before on a Teradata platform using a 'dirty read' which worked quite well but Oracle doesn't seem to offer this option.
What do you guys think? Could this work or do I need to take a different approach.
Thank You.

I meant ordinary views.
I was wondering if there was a way of putting some locking code in or asking for a dirty read that would speed up the SELECT from the table?There is no such thing as a dirty read with Oracle -- Teradata, SQL Server, Sybase, IBM, etc., have different locking architectures where reads can block write and writes can block reads, and that is not an issue with Oracle.
If there's a query performance problem, which is what that will be if the SELECTs are slow, then if you could follow the following links, that will help diagnosis immensely:

And:
[When your Query takes too long|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1812597#1812597]
There is such as thing as stale reads, against Materialized Views, which are views that actually materialize and store the results of a query, and which then can subsequently be queried.

Is select from view faster then select from table..???

Hello Gurus,
I want to query some data from two tables, both of table have many columns (attributes) and many rows...
I use several where clauses to retrieve data from those tables..
witch one is faster, I create a view or I just "select" from those tables???
Regards.

Views are simply queries and like queries there are fast and slow ones.I disagree.
First of all, to use a view you are executing a query to get a result set, then accessing the data from that result set - a built-in extra step to perform to get data.First of all that entire explanation of how views work is not correct. The optimizer will rewrite the query to make the view go away if possible.

Second, when accessing the data from the view the result sets don't have indexes for fast lookups and efficient joins on later steps.This is also known as just making stuff up and is not how the database works. care to share any references at all for any of this?
>
Third, the systems I've seen that use views extensively - I am looking at one now - tend to perform joins on views using the same tables with the same data over and over. This is a design issue and not specifically a problem with views but they lend themselves to this misuse much too easilyCorrect as I said a view is just a query, and just like queries there are good fast views and bad slow views
>
I'll concede that the problem is not specifically with views themselves but as I just said they lend themselves to misuse. Tuning views of views and views joined to views is difficultYes, queries can be misused as can almost all SQL functions and functionality.
As I said - Views are simply queries and like queries there are fast and slow ones.
Nothing that you have posted that is accurate changes that.

Help: Selecting * from view takes minutes, query in view takes only seconds

Hello,
I have a view that i created that compiles ok and the query inside of the view only takes 2 seconds to return all the records. But if i try to select * from the view it takes 4-5 minutes to return the results. The explain plan is exactly the same, whether i select * from the view or run the query from within the view. Explain plan listed at bottom of post. Any ideas on where i might be going wrong? Thanks in advance.
The below query returns ~400 rows. If i limit the rows returned to ~200 with this additional line at the very end:
AND TEAM_CATEGORY LIKE '%FSM%'
the query runs in just a few seconds. So the rows returned is not the problem here.

I'm no expert. Hopefully, someone else will chime in.
A couple points though:
1) (select p.*
from proposal p
where p.active_ind = 'Y'
AND p.stop_date > sysdate
union
select p.*
from proposal p
where p.active_ind = 'Y'
AND p.stop_date is null) P,
is using UNION. It should probably be a UNION ALL, or even better:
(select p.*
from proposal p
where p.active_ind = 'Y'
AND (p.stop_date IS NULL OR p.stop_date > sysdate)
2) select p.*
Do not use * in a VIEW. In fact, never use it outside EXISTS, COUNT(*) and ad hoc queries.
Use a COLUMN-list instead. Always use a COLUMN-list.
3)
The CASE statement has no ELSE, and is redundant.
     CASE
     WHEN count(TEAM_CAT) = 1 THEN MAX(DECODE(CT, 1, TEAM_CAT))
     WHEN count(TEAM_CAT) = 2 THEN MAX(DECODE(CT, 1, TEAM_CAT)) || ', ' || MAX(DECODE(CT, 2, TEAM_CAT))
     WHEN count(TEAM_CAT) = 3 THEN MAX(DECODE(CT, 1, TEAM_CAT)) || ', ' || MAX(DECODE(CT, 2, TEAM_CAT)) || ', ' || MAX(DECODE(CT, 3, TEAM_CAT))
     WHEN count(TEAM_CAT) = 4 THEN MAX(DECODE(CT, 1, TEAM_CAT)) || ', ' || MAX(DECODE(CT, 2, TEAM_CAT)) || ', ' || MAX(DECODE(CT, 3, TEAM_CAT)) || ', ' || MAX(DECODE(CT, 4, TEAM_CAT))
     WHEN count(TEAM_CAT) = 5 THEN MAX(DECODE(CT, 1, TEAM_CAT)) || ', ' || MAX(DECODE(CT, 2, TEAM_CAT)) || ', ' || MAX(DECODE(CT, 3, TEAM_CAT)) || ', ' || MAX(DECODE(CT, 4, TEAM_CAT)) || ', ' || MAX(DECODE(CT, 5, TEAM_CAT))
     WHEN count(TEAM_CAT) = 6 THEN MAX(DECODE(CT, 1, TEAM_CAT)) || ', ' || MAX(DECODE(CT, 2, TEAM_CAT)) || ', ' || MAX(DECODE(CT, 3, TEAM_CAT)) || ', ' || MAX(DECODE(CT, 4, TEAM_CAT)) || ', ' || MAX(DECODE(CT, 5, TEAM_CAT)) || ', ' || MAX(DECODE(CT, 6, TEAM_CAT))
     END TEAM_CATEGORY
How about something like:
     CASE WHEN count(TEAM_CAT) >= 1 THEN MAX(DECODE(CT, 1, TEAM_CAT)) ELSE ' ' END
     || CASE WHEN count(TEAM_CAT) >= 2 THEN ', ' || MAX(DECODE(CT, 2, TEAM_CAT)) ELSE ' ' END
     || CASE WHEN count(TEAM_CAT) >= 3 THEN ', ' || MAX(DECODE(CT, 3, TEAM_CAT)) ELSE ' ' END
     || CASE WHEN count(TEAM_CAT) >= 4 THEN ', ' || MAX(DECODE(CT, 4, TEAM_CAT)) ELSE ' ' END
     || CASE WHEN count(TEAM_CAT) >= 5 THEN ', ' || MAX(DECODE(CT, 5, TEAM_CAT)) ELSE ' ' END
     || CASE WHEN count(TEAM_CAT) >= 6 THEN ', ' || MAX(DECODE(CT, 6, TEAM_CAT)) ELSE ' ' END
     TEAM_CATEGORY
4) I have to ask. Have you run statistics lately?
5) Did you really alias a TABLE as "***"? Please tell me that is a formatting error.
6) Are you sure you need all those outer joins?

Views - SELECT from VIEW and SELECT from the query inside view definition returning different results

Hi,
I am facing this weird issue. Any help would be appriciated.
I have view with the following definition:
CREATE VIEW [marketing].[OpenedMails]
AS
SELECT
ID_EmailAddress,
ID_Date_Opened,
ID_Contact,
ID_MailSendJobs,
COUNT(ID_OpenedMails) AS OpenCount,
CASE
WHEN ROW_NUMBER() OVER (PARTITION BY CAST(ID_EmailAddress AS VARCHAR(10)) + ' ' + CAST(ID_MailSendJobs AS VARCHAR(10)) ORDER BY ID_Date_Opened) = 1 THEN 1
ELSE 0
END
AS UniqueOpenCount
FROM
dbo.Fact_OpenedMails
where ID_Contact = 382340
GROUP BY ID_EmailAddress, ID_Date_Opened, ID_Contact, ID_MailSendJobs;
order by ID_MailSendJobs
When I run the the select statement in the view definition I get combination of both 1 and 0 for the 'UniqueOpenCount' column.
But when I run the select from the view itself using the following query:
SELECT [ID_EmailAddress]
,[ID_Date_Opened]
,[ID_Contact]
,[ID_MailSendJobs]
,[OpenCount]
,[UniqueOpenCount]
FROM [marketing].[OpenedMails]
I get equal amount of rows but only 0 values for the 'UniqueOpenCount' column which seems to be very weird to me. Why is this happening ? Can anyone help regarding how to solve this ??
Result from the select inside view definition:
Result from the select query directly from the view:
Thanks in advance.

Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys, constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in your schema are. Learn how to follow ISO-11179 data element naming conventions and formatting rules. You failed. Temporal
data should use ISO-8601 formats – you failed again. Code should be in Standard SQL AS much AS possible and not local dialect.
This is minimal polite behavior on SQL forums.
Things like “ID_Date_Opened” are wrong. The affixes “id” and “date” are called attribute properties in ISO-11179 and data modeling. Since a date is a unit of measurement on a temporal scale, it cannot be an identifier by definition. My guess is this would be
“open_date” if it were done right. And the only display format in ANSI/ISO Standard SQL is ISO-8601 (yyyy-mm-dd)
An email address of -1?? Email addresses are VARCHAR(256), not numeric. There is no reason to cast them AS string!
Your vague “mail_send_jobs” is plural, but columns hold scalars and cannot be plural by definition. The partition cause can hold a list of columns:
WHEN ROW_NUMBER()
OVER (PARTITION BY email_address, mail_send_job
ORDER BY open_date)
= 1
THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
This still makes no sense, but the syntax is better. You do not understand how ROW_NUMBER() works.
Would you like to try again with proper Netiquette?

SQLite - select * from view

Hello All,
I'm completely new to this forum. I've got some pretty big tables and have created views to hold some predefined data in them.
Now sqlite application I've used (Lita, SQLiteAdmin) does not see these views. Only from Firefox SQLiteManager add-on or the command line, I can do a select * from my_view;
Now when I try to query my view from Air, I receive the error #3115 table : my_view does not exist? Is there a litmitation in Air to be able to query ONLY tables?
Thanks
Jan

There is no limitation against getting at view data using a select. Here is an overly simple example using a synchronous connection:
var conn:SQLConnection = new SQLConnection();

Selecting from view

Dear all,
10.2.0.5 on Solaris 10. We created the below view in our enviornment
CREATE VIEW SAMPLE_TEST

N2, NY, Z_1, Z_2)

       || TO_CHAR (TO_DATE (b.segment6, 'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS'),
                   'DD-MON-YYYY'
       || '|CCTR-'
       || SUBSTR (d.project_number, 1, 9)
       || '|Currency-'

        AND a.analysis_criteria_id = b.analysis_criteria_id
        AND TO_CHAR (d.org_project_id) = b.segment3
       ))When querying select * from sample_test , I can see all the data, where as when am passing any values like below,
select * from TI_TEST_HR1 where description='TEST';
am getting the below error :
ORA-01861: literal does not match format stringThe same applicable for the column value also..
Sample data of description
Type-Revolving|Date Of Issue-26-NOV-2006|CCTR-001031200|Currency-USD|Amount-100.000
Any idea ?

TO_DATE (b.segment6, 'YYYY/MM/DD HH24:MI:SS'Maybe segment6 has some data you weren't expecting.

Select * from view gives ora-1467

Create or replace view spec_temp_100474 as select spec_id,
max(decode(atr_seq,101,spec_value,NULL))"101LocationId",
max(decode(atr_seq,102,spec_value,NULL))"102OrganizationId",
max(decode(atr_seq,103,spec_value,NULL))"103GeographyId",
max(decode(atr_seq,104,spec_value,NULL))"104CreatedBy",
max(decode(atr_seq,105,spec_value,NULL))"105ModifiedBy",
max(decode(atr_seq,106,spec_value,NULL))"106CreatedTime",

max(decode(atr_seq,8,spec_value,NULL))"8Service Only"
from ibs_spec_value where spec_template_id = 100474
group by spec_id
select * from spec_temp_100474 --- results in ora-1467 sort key too long.
db_block_size for the database is 8k.
Thanks,
Avanti.

Cause: A DISTINCT, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, or SET operation requires a sort
key longer than that supported by Oracle. Either too many columns or too
many group functions were specified in the SELECT statement.
Action: Reduce the number of columns or group functions involved in the
operation.

JDBC Problem: "select * from NAMES for update of FIRSTNAME"

I am using Oracle 8 and JDBC thin driver. Is there any reason
why when I try to use the statement:
"select * from NAMES for update of FIRSTNAME"
it does NOT work in JDBC?
However when I do the statement in SQL-Plus it works fine.
If anyone has used this statement with success, please let me
know that it actually works, so that I know there is something
wrong with me!
Any code snippets would be very helpful.
Could it be the thin driver?
Please help! Thanks in advance.

I don't think this is correct. I have used select for update
with no problems. you can send a "set transaction control"
via sql, I believe, but you shouldn't need to do so...
