Question about table strucuture

Hello Gurus,
       I have following two questions:
    (1) how can I know what is the key field for a table ?
    (2) in SE80, when I display the structure of a table, there are component type and data type , why does here have two different types? ( apparently, there values are differenct)
thanks very much!

Hi,
    1) Go to t.code 'SE11'
        enter the table name and display.
         there the key checkbox is enabled.this the primary key field.
        If the checkbox is not enabled then it is a non key field.
2) In structure,
         Component type refers the data element.
          Datatype refers type of the field that is wheather it is char,int etc.,
Thank u,
Manjula Devi.D

Question about table compression

I administer several 10g databases, and have been asked to compress tables in several tablespaces. I am unfamiliar with using compression. I have read some Oracle documentation on the ALTER TABLE... MOVE COMPRESSION command, but still have several questions. Can anyone recommend a good white paper, or other documentation on how best to compress tables with existing data? Thank you in advance for your guidance!

Basically, I have questions about how to select which tables will benefit from compression. I also read somewhere that, once a table has been compressed, new updates to the compressed data will not be compressed and so I will need to re-compress the tables periodically.
I also needed to know if the ALTER TABLE statement will compress the existing data or just future inserted data. Through further research I found that by using the MOVE clause, it will compress the existing data. I will also need to rebuild the indexes once the ALTER TABLE statement is complete.
Thank you for your help and encouragement!

Simple question about table structure and HR in BW

i need to following data from HR:
current FTE, employee number, cost place
i dont think the current FTE is stored per employee. Therefor is would need a list that contains:
mutation start date, mutation end date, FTE, employee, cost place
i think cost place is a custom field.
my question : what tables names and field names do i need?
Thanks in advanced

Hi,
For Head Count you can use 0HR_PA_0 datasource and the other Employee details like start date and end date you can get them from employee master data and FTE can be calculated from the Emloyee Master Data and Head count data.
Hope this helps...
Thanks,

Question about Table Locks

Hi All,
Is there any Oracle defined table/place from where we can know the details about Tables that have been locked in the current session?
Thank you.

Hi ,
To know which all objects are locked, you can use the below query :-
COLUMN owner FORMAT A20
COLUMN username FORMAT A20
COLUMN object_owner FORMAT A20
COLUMN object_name FORMAT A30
COLUMN locked_mode FORMAT A15
SELECT b.session_id AS sid,
       NVL(b.oracle_username, '(oracle)') AS username,
       a.owner AS object_owner,
       a.object_name,
       Decode(b.locked_mode, 0, 'None',
                             1, 'Null (NULL)',
                             2, 'Row-S (SS)',
                             3, 'Row-X (SX)',
                             4, 'Share (S)',
                             5, 'S/Row-X (SSX)',
                             6, 'Exclusive (X)',
                             b.locked_mode) locked_mode,
       b.os_user_name
FROM   dba_objects a,
       v$locked_object b
WHERE a.object_id = b.object_id

Question about Tables in iWeb

Having read previous posts, I understand that tables can be made one of two ways for use in iWeb: (1) Create them in Pages or Keynote and paste them in or (2) create HTML code and use the HTML snippit widget.
The problem I see with the first method is that the table, based upon my experimentation, are seen in iWeb as a graphic. So there's no real way to control something like print size, for instance.
The problem with the second method is that an HTML snippit cannot be inserted within a textbox. So if a person's browser is rending text differently than I have set up a page in iWeb, text could potentially overlap the table.
Therefore, to put a table in the middle of text, it would seem preferable to create the table in Pages or Keynote.
So here's my question, assuming the above is correct--is there any way for a table pasted from Pages or Keynote to be treated as any other way than a graphic? I'm still concerned about text size in the graphic not matching text size on the page with all the various browsers and browser settings. I realize that this method won't create overlapping text, but it would seem that there's great potential for the table to not match the body text.

I know that iWeb creates them in HTML. I am a little more familiar with web pages than what I my post probably let you believe. I guess what I was curious about was the way in which Apple archives the news and turns it into an RSS feed. I've tried playing around with Safari, and viewing other RSS feeds, but I have not come across a way to print multiple RSS feeds at once.
I guess what I am trying to get around is printing all of the pages individually, since as you could imagine that would equate to a ton of paper since I would be working about 3-4 days per week x 32 weeks (8 months). So you are talking about 96-128 pages of entries.
Could you recommend any shortcuts for trying to do what I am trying to do, even if it doesn't involve iWeb? (I do have access to another domain with PHP scripting and a mySQL database if you have suggestions)

Creating SAP QUERY - question about tables in buisness transactions.

Hello.
I am pretty new to SAP.
I want to create a query, as i so far have successfully done by creating a join in transaction SQVI.
I am useing several tables;
CRMD_ORDERADM_H
CRMD_ORDERADM_I
CRMD_ORDER_INDEX
I have two questions.
1: I try to join CRMD_ORDER_INDEX-PARTNER_NO with BUT000-PARTNER, but it won't do the trick. After a join like this i would like to join BUT000 with ADRC . Can someone explain how i could do this?
2: I want join CRMD_ORDERADM_I with all the partners for the specific Item. (sold-to-party, shipping-party and so on). Can anyone tell me which table(s) i can find this in, and what fields to join.
I will appreciate any answer to this

Hi,
For the second question, enter your transaction number ( Object ID ) into CRMD_ORDERADM_H table. Pass the guid to table CRMD_LINK.
Take set guid from CRMD_LINK and pass it to CRMD_PARTNER.
You will get all the partners in that transaction

Question about table partitioning...

Hello, all. I'm using SQL 2012 Enterprise. I have 8 very large tables (the largest two having 227M and 118M records, and the others between 11M-44M records). For performance reasons, I'm considering partitioning the tables across multiple
files/filegroups. For my largest table (227M records), the data is spread across years 2011, 2012, and 2013 with 2013 having 104M records. So naturally I'm considering partitioning on a Date column. My question is should I go with four partitions
(2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014 for new data) and still end up with a very large aggregation of data on the 2013 partition (104M) or should I further breakdown the 2013 partition into months now having 12 partitions for 2013 alone, and then I'm OK with all
of 2011 and 2012 on their own partitions. Again, this is for one table. I'd still like to partition the other 7 large tables. In the end, I could end up with many, many partitions and hence many, many filegroups. I'm interested in how
others partition MULTIPLE large tables. Can you share partition functions/schemes across tables?
Any thoughts, your own personal experiences, etc would be greatly appreciated. Also, can someone recommend a good book, article, blog, etc on partitioning large databases.
Thanks much in advance.
Roz

If you query against more than one partition I have doubts you will gain performance...

Question About Table Style Terminology

I am curious about what other people might call the following two styles of table construction.
Style 1:
create table cust_trans_a (
    cust_nbr                varchar2(6),
    trans_date             date,
    sales                      number(11, 2)
Style 2:
create table cust_trans_2 (
    cust_nbr                varchar2(6),
    sales_in_2004,
    sales_in_2005,
    sales_in_2006,
    sales_in_2007
);I have been using the terms vertical and horizontal respectively for these two construction styles, but I would like to know if other DB professionals have another, more descriptive set of terms for them.
Thanks,
Gregory

How about normalized and denormalized?
Generally, denormalized data models (Style 2) are a pain to deal with because you're constantly having to add columns (i.e. you'll eventually want to store 2008 sales) and because you have to maintain the same information in both summary and detail tables. In Oracle, if you think you need a denormalized table, you're generally better off creating a materialized view instead.

Question about table COEP

Hi SAP Expert and Guru,
Currently I am gathering the Invoice Document Number from Project ID and below is my table flow.
Project ID/ WBS is being inserted to table PRPS-PSPHI,
Then the Object Number from PRPS-OBJNR is being captured and being used in table COEP-OBJNR to derive the value in COEP-BELNR.
Later the value in COEP-BELNR is being used in table COBK-BELNR to derive the invoice number in COBK-REFBN.
My question now is, is there any other table that we can use to replace table COEP, in order to get the Object Number OBJNR linked up with the Document Number BELNR which can be used in table COBK to derive the Invoice Number.
Kindly Advise and consult.
Thank you
Regards
Leonard Tan

Why dont you try to use the OBJNR from PRPS and use it in the COFP table?
I think you should be able to get the details you are looking for.
Let us know if it helps.

Question about Tables: Urgent

Hi, I'm trying to create a table inside BW. The objective is to create this table so that an Oracle Administrator can "Push" or "drop" data into this table in BW. I'm currently using 2004s, so I am having quite a hard time.... What are the sequence of steps required in creating this table with the end goal of activating it so that it can be "seen" and used... How do I activate the table? Do I need to generate a datasource for this? If I do, what are the sequence of steps that I need to do for this? Much thanks....
- Beleaguered B.I.

Philips:
A. Assuming that I have successfully created a table in B.I. 7, how will I check to
ensure that the table that I just created exists in the system? What are the
sequence of steps to doing this check? Will the administrator on the Oracle
side (see original question) be able to "see" this table?
When you activate the table, go to transaction Se16 and put your tablename and press f8, if the table is not active, you will get a mesage. This is a initial check.
When you create a transparant table in SAP, SAP creates automatically created a table in the database underlying. Thats why it is called transparent table.
YES. youur administrator can see the table with a SQL statement desc TABLE in the database layer.
B. Assuming that I successfully created a DataSource, how can i check to ensure
that the DataSource is indeed active and is in the System? What are the
sequence of steps to achieving this?
The last step in creating data source is to save / generate. Once generated, you can see the data source in RSA3. Run RSA3 and give the data source name and press f8, you will see the result.,
C. Is there a particular methodology or standard as to how I should create a table?
Can you point me out to a documentation or link to a "HOW TO" in creating
tables? Where exactly in the BI 7 system are the tables store.
To create a table you need something called developer key which is a long string of numbers. Check with your basis administrators and they will generate the key for you.
Once you have this, decide the structure of your table and we will take it from there.

CS2......Questions about tables

Can you choose to delete the rows or colums you want for a table you've made in In Design or by default, it will delete the bottom ones and the one at your right.
I know I can do it in Quark, but I'm thinking about leaving quark for In Design and I have a lot of table to redo....it's a catalogue.
Thanks for youy help!

Of course you can, and if you've got alternating rows and fills, the
table will automatically adjust.
Just select the row and right click. From the contextual menu choose
delete > row.

Question about table T001P - in HR master data

Hello,
I am making a test to create a TRIP (travel expenses).
I have a link between the personnel number and the User ID (Communication type 0105 0001).
However, when entering the travel expenses via transaction TRIP I get following message:
"No entry in table T001P for argument 79000001".
What does it mean?
What do I need to fill out?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Linda

Linda :
It looks as if the ee is currently in personnel area '7900', and personnel subarea '0001' in IT0001. However, configuration for the combination of parea/subarea 7900/0001 is not confifured yet in T001P. FYI, this configuration is to assign a number of grouping characteristics to each combination of parea/subarea for different purposes (e.g. work schedule, holiday calendar, ...).
For 'TRIP' transaction, I think it just mainly wants to get 'molga' (country grouping) for the ee.
Rgds.
