Purpose of Updating Row Counts in Oracle 11g RPD

Hello all,
I'm relatively new to RPD development, and have a relatively simple question. I have searched through the oracle community site and did several google searches for the answer. What is the purpose of Updating Row Counts on the Physical layer of the RPD? I know how to do it for a single table and for all tables. Does it help the planner build better optimized queries?

Hi,
Honestly I don't think OBIEE use that info at all (or it would be mandatory).
It's more an info for the developer, to see if the DB connection works, if the table is the good one without looking at the data itself. It can also inform you if your ETL run or not (data or no data). So for me it's really only a developer helper, nothing OBIEE uses.

Error - Update Row Count in Oracle BI Administraton Tool

Hi Everyone,
I am running XE on the same machine that BI Administrator is running on. I them imported the HR scheme on the Physical Layer. As I try to update row count, I am getting errors:
NQSError : - 10058 , A general error occurred
An error occurred while executing the Physical Statement
Oracle Error 3114 - Not connected to oracle OCI CALL OCIstmtexecute
SQL statement preparation failed.
I am connecting via odbc, but as my connection pool in the physical layer, I have tried all the available type of connection pool, and it does not work. I still get the same error.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,

Well, could it then be that you are using a different user to connect to through the connection pool? If so, then you have to set the connection pool to prefix the tables with the schema name. I don't have access to the admin tool at the moment to point out exactly how that is done, but at least you right-click on the connection pool, choose properties and there you check a check box that suggests prefixing tables.
The reason here is that the connection pool connects to the database using some username, and all queries are executed as this user. This user then has to have SELECT privileges on all the tables you have imported (which the user does of course if the tables can be found in the same schema), but if some tables have been imported from other schema then the server has to prefix the tables with the correct schema name.
Hope this helps!

Obiee oracle gateway error while updating row count

Hi ,
OBIEE server 11.1.1.5 ,oracle server11g installed in linux 64bit,
while updating row count in Admin tool i am getting the following error
[NQODBC][SQL_STATE:HY000][nQSError:10058] A general error has occured.
[nQSError: 43113]Message returned from OBIS.
[nQSError:43093]An error occured while processing the EXECUTE PHYSICAL statement.

i am able to check the database from sqlplus it is working fine.
Any suggestion highly appreciated plzzz

Make sure your connection pool is valid and able to import or execute reports.
If everything good as above said, in Physical layer database properties-> general tab choose the database version and try it once.
If not
Check the doc id 1271486.1
Or
To resolve the issue create a softlink (ln -s) in the <OracleBI>/server/Bin folder to link to the 32-bit Oracle Client Driver file.
The example below shows how to perform a softlink from the 64 bit directory:
cd /u10/app/orcladmin/oracle/OracleBI/server/Bin
ln -s $ORACLE_HOME/lib32/libclntsh.so.10.1 libclntsh.so.10.1

Not able to update row count in Physical Layer..connection failed in OBIEE 11g

Hi Guys,
I am not able to do Update Row count in the Physical Layer, i am getting an error The Connection has failed. This is in OBIEE 11g Linux env.
I have put the tnsnames.ora file in the below path:
/*****/pkgs/linux/intel/OBIEE_DIT/MW_HOME/Oracle_BI1/network/admin/
I do not have admin under
/****/pkgs/linux/intel/OBIEE_DIT/MW_HOME/oracle_common/network/
But if i put the whole TNS entry in the Data Source Name i am able to connect:
(DESCRIPTION =(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL= TCP) (HOST= xxx.xxx.com) (PORT= 1671))(CONNECT_DATA = (SERVICE_NAME = US1OBIEE)))
I am not able to understand the issue..
Thanks,
Amit

Looks like rpd is looking for local tns config... try to use as hostname:port/ServiceName
This should work, just in case not working! stop doing so since it is know issue.

hi..
make sure that the data source name and credentials you given in connection pools are correct...
Also, make sure that the db-user specified in the connection pool has permissions on that table...
And make sure that the table name is correct and existing in that schema..

Oracle 11g database can we update patch directly from 11.2.0.3.0 to 11.2.0.4.0?

Hi,
I have installed Oracle 11g database.
Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.3.0 - Production
CORE 11.2.0.3.0 Production
TNS for 64-bit Windows: Version 11.2.0.3.0 - Production
NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.3.0 - Production
I want to update the patch.
Oracle 11g database can we update patch directly from 11.2.0.3.0 to 11.2.0.4.0?
Is any impact on the database?
Kindly suggest,
Regards,
Sachin

11.2.0.4 is nothing but a patchset of 11.2.0.3, in-place upgrade is allowed :
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e23633/preup.htm#UPGRD12370
"You cannot install the new software into the same location for Oracle home as your current release, unless you are installing an Oracle Database 11g patchset release. For a patchset release, you can use the same Oracle Database 11g Oracle home."
And since it's a patchset, a direct upgrade is ok.
Lastly, yes, every upgrade has an impact (e.g. perf.), it has to be tested.

Oracle 11g and Supported Programming Languages for application development

Hi,
Currently we are running our Java application on Oracle 10g Lite. We are planning to upgrade to Oracle 11g Lite very soon. I have below queries to be answered.
1. What are the programming languages supported for application development to work with Oracle 11g Lite mobile server and client ?
    - i have seen some note saying java and .net are supported. Wanted to know the complete list of supported programming languages on Oracle 10g Lite
2. Oracle Forms 10g is supported on Oracle 11g Lite platform ?
    - i have some online application running on Oracle 10G Forms. Wanted to extend this to offline model using Oracle 10g Lite
Thanks,
Ashok Kumar.G

Hi Ashok,
1. What are the programming languages supported for application development to work with Oracle 11g Lite mobile server and client ?
            For the 11g version of the product, we changed the name to Oracle Database Mobile Server.    For clarity purposes, there is no product called Oracle 11g Lite mobile server.
            For a detailed list of what is/is not supported on the client, please consult the documentation.   See section 2.1 of the Mobile Client guide. For programming languages you
            can use what you want, and we support the following technologies, JDBC, ODBC, ADO.NET. What you code your application in is up to you.
2. Oracle Forms 10g is supported on Oracle 11g Lite platform ?
               On the database mobile server side of things we do not do testing with Oracle Forms 10g.    I do not know enough about applications developed with the Forms' product.   Database Mobile Server is a product that keeps tracks of changes that occur in a database, and then propagates those changes to an Oracle backend.   We offer 2 way synchronization between an Oracle backend database and a client. If you are running the Forms application on the Oracle backend and want to propagate changes done out to the client, then this should work.    I say ** should **   because we have not tested it but I cannot think of a reason why it would not work.   It would be up to you to develop the client side application that would look at the data in the client database and display it to the user.    In the 11.x version of the product, we support 2 client databases, Berkeley DB and SQLite.
thanks

Update Global Temp Table in Oracle 11g

Hi Experts,
Scenario: I have stored procedure A which calls procedure B. Procedure B uses Global temp Tables(With On Commit Preserve Rows) to work with the data.
I am trying to update one of the GTT in Proc B but unable to do it .. via SQL or via PL/SQL Cursor/Collection. There is no syntax nor logical error and the PL/SQL proc completes execution successfully but the rows are not getting updated. My Db version is Oralce 11g 11203.
Update statement is something like this.
Update <GTT>
SET amount1 = amount1 *-1, amount2 = amount2 *-1
where field1 = <value>
and field2 in ( Select filed2 from <table1> );
Any idea why would this update not work? Has anyone faced this issue in Oracle 11g??
Appreciate your suggestions & thanks in Advance for your inputs.
Cheers,
MS

SET amount1 = amount1 *-1, amount2 = amount2 *-1
where field1 = <value>
and field2 in ( Select filed2 from <table1> );

You already told us that it DOES work - no errors or exceptions.
It is trivial to determine if that update will do anything - just turn it into a SELECT and see if any rows are ntselected:
v_cnt INTEGER;
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO v_cnt FROM myGTT
WHERE field1 = <value>
AND field2 in (Select field2 from <tablee1>);
Then take a look at the 'count' that you get.

Oracle 11g: Oracle insert/update operation is taking more time.

Hello All,
In Oracle 11g (Windows 2008 32 bit environment) we are facing following issue.
1) We are inserting/updating data on some tables (4-5 tables and we are firing query with very high rate).
2) After sometime (say 15 days with same load) we are feeling that the Oracle operation (insert/update) is taking more time.
Query1: How to find actually oracle is taking more time in insert/updates operation.
Query2: How to rectify the problem.
We are having multithread environment.
Thanks
With Regards

Hi Nicolas,
Just a short explanation:
If you have a table with 1 column (let's say a number). The table is empty and you have an index on the column.
When you insert a row, the value of the column will be inserted to the index. To insert 1 value to an index with 10 values in it will be fast. It will take longer to insert 1 value to an index with 1 million values in it.
My second example was if I take the same table and let's say I insert 10 rows and delete the previous 10 from the table. I always have 10 rows in the table so the index should be small. But this is not correct. If I insert values 1-10 and then delete 1-10 and insert 11-20, then delete 11-20 and insert 21-30 and so on, because the index is sorted, where 1-10 were stored I'll now have empty spots. Oracle will not fill them up. So the index will become larger and larger as I insert more rows (even though I delete the old ones).
The solution here is simply revuild the index once in a while.
Hope it is clear.

[www.orbiumsoftware.com]Hmmm, index space not reused ? Index rebuild once a while ? That was what I understood from your previous post, but nothing is less sure.
This is a misconception of how indexes are working.
I would suggest the reading of the following interasting doc, they are a lot of nice examples (including index space reuse) to understand, and in conclusion :
http://richardfoote.files.wordpress.com/2007/12/index-internals-rebuilding-the-truth.pdf
"+Index Rebuild Summary+
+•*The vast majority of indexes do not require rebuilding*+
+•Oracle B-tree indexes can become “unbalanced” and need to be rebuilt is a myth+
+•*Deleted space in an index is “deadwood” and over time requires the index to be rebuilt is a myth*+
+•If an index reaches “x” number of levels, it becomes inefficient and requires the index to be rebuilt is a myth+
+•If an index has a poor clustering factor, the index needs to be rebuilt is a myth+
+•To improve performance, indexes need to be regularly rebuilt is a myth+"
Good reading,
