Timesten create a lock for select statement through sqldev

When use ttisql connect to TimesTen Release 7.0.6.15.0 at autocommit=1, there is no lock for select statement.
but when I use sql developer (driver is ttjdbc5.jar, regardless of version) to connect, even with autocommit=1, there will be locks for select statement.
Is it a bug? How can I achieve the same no locks for select statement through sql developer?Thanks.

-your update tells me that you are connected to a remote timesten data store using the client driver
-the ttXactAdmin output indicates that SqlNavigator has a shared lock on the database itself: this will not interfere with anybody else' read operations, and I believe that until such time as you actually attempt some kind of DML against the data store that th IX lock on the database lock will not interfere with any other DML either.
-a shared database lock will always be acquired for any transaction in TimesTen. You can test this for yourself from ttisql: set autocommit off, perform a simple update and do not commit the transaction. Then open a separate session and execute ttxactadmin - you will the IX database lock as well as the various locks on tables and indexes.
-I believe this pretty much proves my original thinking: that sqlDeveloper attaches to TimesTen in transaction mode. However, the IX lock on the database will not interfere with anybody else's work and should not be a problem.

Dynamic sql for select statement

Hi,
Please help me with the below code:
It is updating null if the select statment returns one values. If it fetches multiple values then it throughs the below error msg when running the program.
Please let me know how to modify the below code. Or let me know is there anyother way to write this code.
Logic for development:
* View name should be passed as dynamic.
CREATE OR REPLACE

Runtime error for SELECT statement

Hi All,
I have written a SELECT statement as follows in my code.
select budat pernr aufnr vornr from AFRU
into corresponding fields of table it_vornr
for all entries in it_cats_tmp
where budat = it_cats_tmp-workdate
and pernr = it_cats_tmp-pernr
and aufnr = it_cats_tmp-rnplnr.
The table IT-CATS_TMP is having around 3000+ lines.
When control moves to this statement, the system is throwing Runtime error or its taking around 30 minutes time to execute.
If i query the same table (AFRU) in SE11 for the same set of conditions, the table displays relevent data immediately.
What might be the reason for this delay/Runtime Error?
Shall i need to change the syntax for better performance?
Your guidelines are highly appreciated......
Regards
Pavan

Hi
1. Try to put WHERE conditions for KEY FIELDS.
Solution: Create a RANGE for the key fields & put that in SELECT Query.
DATA: gr_rueck TYPE RANGES OF afru-rueck.
SELECT .. WHERE rueck IN gr_rueck.
2. Avoid using CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE in SELECT.
Solution: Change internal table fields ORDER.
TYPES:
BEGIN OF TY_VORNR,
budat TYPE ..
pernr TYPE ..
aufnr TYPE ..
vornr TYPE ..
... " Other fields
END OF TY_VORNR.
SELECT .. INTO TABLE IT_VORNR ...

A test query for selecting by ticketid

This is a test query to select tickets by ticketid , starting with the most recent, as to get the top5 most recent tickets. There will be still mistakes in it. please don't tell me those about stupid mistakes,and spaces, at first and obvious syntax mistakes. Otherwise I don't learn it. My question has to do with the loop. Do you think it is useful to use a loop for this, or should it stay as it is, or should it be something else.
DECLARE
Define, and open a cursor;
min_ticket NUMBER; -- minimum ticketid

You can get all this using one SQL statement, without resorting to explicit cursors. Have a look at http://asktom.oracle.com and search for Top-N Query.
Depending on what you are doing, you may want to use a cursor for loop.
I assume this is for some sort of electronic queueing system. if you gave us more detail as to what you are trying to do, you may get better advice.

Query on Select Statement

Dear All,
        I have a small query on the Select Statement. If there are 2 identical rows and if i am retrieving them using the Select Statement, then will the select statement retrieves both the rows which are identical or only the first possible occurence? Pls help me out in this.
Thanks,
Sirisha.

Hi,
     That depends on the statement u use. If u use, 'SELECT' statment, u can retrieve all the records which are identical with one or few fields. For that, u need to put the output INTO A TABLE.
Ex. 1
data : int_ekko type table of ekko with header line,
         fs_ekko type ekko.
select * from ekko into table int_ekko where ebeln = '6361003191'.
Here, int_ekko is an internal table contains all records whose EBELN = 63610003191.
2) If u use 'SELECT SINGLE', then it will retrieve only the first record out of all the records who satisfy the condition EBELN = 6361003191.
Ex 2:
select single * from ekko into fs where ebeln = '63610003191'.
'fs' is not a table, just of type structure. so contains only one record.
Hope it help u..
Kindly reward points if hepful
Regards,
Shanthi.

Create object type from multiple tables for select statement

Hi there,
I have 3 tables as given below and I wish to create an object type to group selected columns as 'attribute' from multiple tables.
I need to create 2 input parameters to pass in - 'attribute' and 'attribute value' in PL/SQL and these 2 parameters will be
passing in with 'column name' and 'column value'. e.g. 'configuration' - the column name, 'eval' - the column value.
Then, the PL/SQL will execute the select statement with the column and column value provided to output the record.
Pls advise and thank you.

Reason to do this as these fields are required to be grouped together as they are created in different tables. They are treated as 'attribute' (consists of many columns) of the part number. So, the PL/SQL is requested to design in a way able for user to pass in the column name and column value or part number, then the select statement should be able to query for the records. Another reason is a new column can be added easily without keep modifying those effected programs. Reuseable too.This basically equates to ... hard to code, hard to maintain, and poor performance.
Are you really sure you want to do this? This isn't going to be easy-street as you seem to think it is, but it's a one way street to a poorly performing system with security vulnerabilities (google SQL Injection).
I would highly recommend you reconsider your design decision here.

Query in SELECT statement!!!!

Hi all,
          I have a SELECT statement as follows:
SELECT aguid_hi bpartner_no
FROM crmd_link AS a
INNER JOIN crmd_partner AS b ON bguid EQ aguid_set
INTO TABLE p_partners
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN i_sub_contracts
WHERE a~guid_hi     EQ i_sub_contracts-guid
    AND a~objtype_hi EQ '05'
    AND b~partner_fct EQ p_partner_fct.
Please tell me if I can create a view for the above.
Once I create a view for the above will it really boost the performance.
Kindly reply immediately as this is bit urgent.
Regards,
Vijay

hi,
As said above view is nothing but an inner join between tables which you are already doing it in your program ... So i don't think there will be any improvement in the performance of the program ...

Performance Tuning -To find the execution time for Select Statement

Hi,
There is a program that takes 10 hrs to execute. I need tune its performance. The program is basically reading few tables like KNA1,ANLA,ANLU,ADRC etc and updates to Custom table. I did my analysis and found few performance techniques for ABAP coding.
Now my problem is, to get this object approved I need to submit the execution statistics to client.I checked both ST05 and SE30. I heard of a Tcode where we can execute a select statement and note its time, then modify and find its improved Performance. Can anybody suggest me on this.
Thanks,
Rajani.

Hi,
This is documentation regarding performance analysis. Hope this will be useful
It is a general practice to use           Select * from <database>     This statement populates all the values of the structure in the database.
The effect is many fold:-
     It increases the time to retrieve data from database
     There is large amount of unused data in memory
     It increases the processing time from work area or internal tables
It is always a good practice to retrieve only the required fields. Always use the syntax      Select f1 f2 fn from <database>
e.g.     Do not use the following statement:-
     Data: i_mara like mara occurs 0 with header line.
     Data: i_marc like marc occurs 0 with header line.
     Select * from mara
          Into table i_mara
          Where matnr in s_matnr.
     Select * from marc
          Into table i_marc
          For all entries in i_mara
          Where matnr eq i_mara-matnr.
     Instead use the following statement:-
                                   Data: begin of i_mara occurs 0,
                                        Matnr like mara-matnr,
                                              End of i_mara.
     Data: begin of i_marc occurs 0,
          Matnr like marc-matnr,
                                        Werks like marc-werks,
                                             End of i_marc.
     Select matnr from mara
          Into table i_mara
          Where matnr in s_matnr.

Dynamic Query for 'Select IN' -- URGENT!!!

I've got the following Select statement -
SELECT Employee_Name, SSN FROM Company
WHERE EMPLOYEE_NAME IN (c_Employee_Name) ;
Here c_Employee_Name is a Returned RefCursor from another function. It gives error as Type mismatch.
Is there anyway I can run one SELECT statement for all the Employee_Name returned by the function?
Any sample code will be great.
Thanks a lot,
Suman

If you have a packaged function that returns a ref cursor,
something like this:
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE package_name
AS
TYPE c_employee_name IS REF cursor;
FUNCTION function_name
    (p_tables      IN VARCHAR2,
     p_columns     IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT '*',
     p_where       IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT ' 1 = 1 ',
     p_others      IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL)
    RETURN package_name.c_employee_name;
END package_name;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY package_name
AS
FUNCTION function_name
    (p_tables      IN VARCHAR2,
     p_columns     IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT '*',
     p_where       IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT ' 1 = 1 ',
     p_others      IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL)
    RETURN package_name.c_employee_name
IS
    v_sql              VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
    v_results          package_name.c_employee_name;
BEGIN
    v_sql :=
       ' SELECT ' || p_columns
    || ' FROM '   || p_tables
    || ' WHERE ' || p_where || ' '
    || p_others;
    OPEN v_results FOR v_sql;
    RETURN v_results;
END function_name;
END package_name;
Then, you can use a procedure, something like the
one below, to call the function and loop through
the ref cursor to concatenate a string of employee
names to be used in the select statement. You can
then open another ref cursor for that select statment
and process the results however you like. I used
dbms_output in the following example:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE procedure_name
AS
c_employee_names package_name.c_employee_name;
v_employee_name   company.employee_name%TYPE;
v_employee_names VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_delimiter       VARCHAR2 (1) := NULL;
v_sql             VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
TYPE cursor_type IS REF CURSOR;
cursor_name cursor_type;
v_ssn             company.ssn%TYPE;
BEGIN
c_employee_names := package_name.function_name
                        ('company', 'employee_name');
LOOP
    EXIT WHEN c_employee_names%NOTFOUND;
    FETCH c_employee_names INTO v_employee_name;
    v_employee_names := v_employee_names
    || v_delimiter
    || v_employee_name;
    v_delimiter := ',';
END LOOP;
v_employee_names := REPLACE (v_employee_names, ',', ''',''');
v_sql := ' SELECT employee_name, ssn'
        || ' FROM   company'
        || ' WHERE employee_name IN ('''
        || v_employee_names
        || ''')';
OPEN cursor_name FOR v_sql;
LOOP
    EXIT WHEN cursor_name%NOTFOUND;
    FETCH cursor_name INTO v_employee_name, v_ssn;
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE (v_employee_name || ' ' || v_ssn);
END LOOP;
CLOSE cursor_name;
END procedure_name;
To execute the procedure that calls the function:
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
EXEC procedure_name
