Question on Creating Table From Insert statement

Hi,
I want to create a table using a DBlink from another database using the create/insert statement. Will it also transfer the constraints or do I have to do it manually afterwards? Thanks.
Create table T1
SELECT a,b,c from T2 from DB@dblink;

As discussed above, the constraints, indexes, triggers are not copied. Only NOT NULL constraints are copied.
Look at this thread Re: Copying table structure.
for copying triggers/indexes from source table to destination table.
Thanks,
Navaneeth

Question on Creating table from another table and copying the partition str

Dear All,
I want to know whether is there any way where we can create a table using another table and have the partitions of the new table to be exactly like the used table.
Like
CREATE TABLE TEST AS SELECT * FROM TEMP;
The table TEMP is having range and hash partitions.
Is there any way when we use the above command, we get the table partitions of TEMP to be copied to the new table TEST.
Appreciate your suggestions on this one.
Thanks,
Madhu K.

may this answer your question...

[Solved]SIMPLE Question ON "CREATE TABLE as SELECT".

Hi there,
I was wondering how to work it out smartly and briefly.
For example, I already have a "tableA" as following.
tableA
id name
1 name1
2 name2
create table tmp as
select id, name from tableA;
It will create the tmp table successfully.
If I want to add a new column 'tel' in tmp table,
I can run as following.
create table tmp as
select id, name, 999 tel, 'aaaaaaaaa' ps from tableA;
It will add 'tel NUMBER' column and 'ps char(9)' in tableA.
If I want to add 'col varchar(50)' in tableA,
I do not want to make a string which contains 50 characters in Select command.
How can I make it work in a smart way?
Thanks.

Is there a reason that you need this to be in a single statement? You would normally be better served here with a separate CREATE TABLE and INSERT (possibly as a direct path operation).
That said, you could use the CAST operator, i.e.
SCOTT @ jcave102 Local> create table a as select cast('a' as varchar2(50)) col1 from dual;
Table created.
Elapsed: 00:00:00.48
SCOTT @ jcave102 Local> desc a;
Name Null? Type
COL1 VARCHAR2(50)
SCOTT @ jcave102 Local> Justin

and i want to store the emp_name in a variable for other processing,
how can i accomplish this ? i'm guessing that i have to use trigger,
but dont know the procedure .

Should I create table before insert xml files

Hi,,,
I am developing a application that insert various xml files
into oracle8i dbms..
So, I am studying Oracle XML SQL Utility and I understood that
I should create appropriate tables suit for the XML files..
(tag <--> table column name...) before insert them to the dbms.
But In my project, the xml file is not fixed.
And new XML files (new tag name, new DTD required) can be
generated by the end user.
Is there any solution??? create table suit for xml
automatically..
And...
How can I create table to insert the following xml file..
<univ>
<college name="engineering">
<department name="electronic">
<student id="11">
<math> 100 </math>
<english> 90 </english>
</student>
</department>
</college>
<college name="law">
<department name="law">
<student id="55">
<math> 90 </math>
<english> 100 </english>
</student>
</department>
</college>
</univ>
null

Hi,
One more thing is that, you can use XSLT to transform any
document that you get into a canonical representation that u can
then use to put into the database.
For example, if the user gave,
<univ>
<college name="eng">
<...>
</college>
</univ>
you can then use XSLT to transform it into all-element form,
such as,
<univ>
<college>
<name>engineering</name>
</college>
</univ>
and use OracleXMLSave to put it into the database. Also if you
have structured XML elements you can map them nicely into object
types in Oracle 8.
Regarding creating the table, for the exampe that you showed,
you can create an object type column for storing it,example,
CREATE TYPE college_type AS OBJECT
name VARCHAR2(50),
dept department_type,
CREATE TYPE department_type AS OBJECT
name VARCHAR2(40),
CREATE TABLE univ_tab ( college college_type);
You could have also created object views over multiple
relational tables and achieved the same.
Thx

"Create Table from select Query" Vs "Insert into"

Hi
Schenaio:
My Select Query returns more than 10 million records, these records needs to be inserted into another table.
Approach 1:
I created table called TABLE1, and inserted the records using INSERT statement as a batch (batch size is 5000).
Approach 2:
I create table like,
CREATE TABLE TABLE1 AS <SELECT QUERY>
Here Apporach-1 took almost 40 minutes to complete the insert but Approach-2 took only 6 minutes.
If anybody knows why it is? And is there any way to improve the performance of Approach-1?.
Thanks
Nidhi

Most "batch" methods execute the same query multiple times. Row filtering is done after the rows are fetched from the source. The process of fetching all the rows could be a FullTableScan.
Therefore, a FullTableScan is executed for each batch of 5000 rows.
However, your query and batch definitions may well be different. We haven't seen the query and the execution plan.
Another point : How are you "filtering" the rows (i.e the second execution inserts rows 5001 to 10000 and does not attempt to reinsert rows 1 to 5000) ?
What is the overhead imposed by the filter ? (does the third execution have to exclude rows 1 to 10000 and inserts rows 10001 to 15000 and so on)

How to create outline from perfstat.stats$SQL_PLAN table

How do I create outline (Plan stability in 10gR2database) from perfstat.stats$SQL_PLAN table?
Current V$SQL_PLAN does not contain good but but week older snapshots have good plan.
I can't modify query, it's vendor query so I need to create outline/plan stability.
Thanks for help.

Thanks for reply.
I'm not saying I find it out doc but here is situation.
I have query which change execution plan week ago.
I have perfstat enable and I found out good execution plan from perfstat.stat$SQL_PLAN view.
If it's our query I can modify query and able to get good execution plan but it's vendor supplied query (which is Oracle - it used to be Portal now Oracle acquired it) so I can't modified it.
All I'm trying to do is how do I generate good plan and assigned to vendor query's hash_value/sql_id.If DBMS_ADVANCED_REWRITE is not an option for you and you want to use an outline, there is one significant problem. The Statspack captured data does not include quite enough information, in particular the OTHER_XML column, and the access predicates. So, what can you do? Note that this script is from page 214 of the book that I co-authored. Let's say you execute this SQL statement:
SQL> SELECT
2    SQL_ID,
3    COUNT(DISTINCT PLAN_HASH_VALUE) C
4 FROM
5    PERFSTAT.STATS$SQL_PLAN_USAGE
6 GROUP BY
7    SQL_ID
8 HAVING
9    COUNT(DISTINCT PLAN_HASH_VALUE)>1;

…Interesting, SQL_ID has 2 different execution plans, let's take a look at the execution plans:
SQL> SET LINESIZE 150
SQL> SET PAGESIZE 10000
SQL> SPOOL StatspackPlan.txt
SQL> SELECT /*+ ORDERED */

|* 3 |    INDEX UNIQUE SCAN | I_OBJ#   |       |
--------------------------------------------------As can be seen by the above, in one case the I_OBJ# index was used, and in another case the I_OPQTYPE1 index was used. Let's assume that I_OPQTYPE1 is the most efficient access path, so a hint like this needs to be inserted (assuming that the table does not have an alias in the SQL statement:
/*+ INDEX(OPQTYPE$ I_OPQTYPE1) */Now what (obviously, we would not want to actually fix the above plan for an internal SQL statement)? Take a look at the following, which shows how to build a private outline for the unhinted version of the SQL statement, an outline for a hinted version, and then swap the resulting outlines, followed by building a public outline from the hacked outline:

In training, PL/SQL create table and insert question. (easy for some of you

I have an empty table called messages. The task is this:
a)Insert the numbers 1 to 10, excluding 6 and 8.
b)Commit before the end of the block.
I did this:
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
SET VERIFY OFF
BEGIN
INSERT INTO messages VALUES (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,10);
END;
Which fails at messages. The table is there, I checked and it's empty. ORA-06550:

Hello,
c1 is not a valid column name I posted as an example , you need to provide valid column name of your table.
Either post your table structure or replace c1, c2, c3 ... with valid column name from your table.
INSERT INTO MESSAGES (c1, c2, c3, c4, c5, c9, c10)
or
insert into messages (your table column name1 , column name2 ,....) values (....);Regards

How to create table from ref cursor

I have a proc that returns a ref cursor, whats the simplest way to create a table based on the return of the ref cursor?
declare
type rc is ref cursor;
p_data rc;
begin
call_my_proc(p_data);
:result := p_data; -- If I run this in TOAD I can see the data here but I want to create a table based on it rather than outputting it)
end;
thanks.
edit: sorry. typed this wrong first time, should be right now

A cursor is not a result set. A cursor is not a result set. Worth repeating several times as this is a common misconception
A cursor is essentially a program. Executable code that was compiled from a SQL source code program.
A SELECT cursor is "read" program. Each fetch instruction runs this program (from its current "paused state"), and outputs data.
An INSERT cursor is a "write" program. You pass data to it (process called binding, via bind variables). You then execute the program. It writes the data it received (can be bulk data via a bulk bind) to table.
Now your question is: How do I write the output of a cursor program back to the database?
The answer is that a "write" cursor program is needed. Your code needs to execute (fetch output from) the ref (read/select) cursor. Then bind that data to the "write" cursor and execute it.
In other words, you have a read cursor and a write cursor, and you need to pass data from one to the other.
HOWEVER.. This is slow. This does not scale. This is also known as slow-by-slow row by row processing.
The correct approach is to create a single program. One that reads the data, and then writes the data. No to send data via a detour through your code between the read part and write part.
The cursor to create is an INSERT..SELECT cursor. This can do fast direct path inserts. This can be executed in parallel - i.e. the database executing several copies of this read-and-write program at the same time.

Create table as select statement.

Hello Oracle Gurus,
I am trying to create a table using select * from other table.
The procedure that I am following is this:-
I have a temp table whose signature is on commit delete rows.
I insert records in this table.
when I do select * from temp_table,perm_table I get some rows.
then I try to create a result_table using this
CREATE TABLE result_table
AS SELECT * FROM temp_table,perm_table;
I see the table in created but number of records in 0. Can anyone please explain where commit takes place while sequence in this query occurs.
Thanks
Edited by: user10696492 on Nov 10, 2009 8:47 AM

Create table statement is a ddl - so an implicit commit is performed before the create statement begins. The implicit commit will delete all the rows from the temp table. If it is feasible change the definition of the temp table to on commit preserve rows.

How to assign value from insert statement to variable from a trigger

Hi,
I got this really annoying problem and I don't know if I am doing it correctly.
I have a BEFORE INSERT trigger on a table. When someone executes an insert statement I want to grab the value of a column from that statement and assign it to a variable and then do stuff with it. I'm stuck on the assignment.. look below..
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER CARS.geotest2_trigger
BEFORE INSERT ON CARS.GEO_TEST2
FOR EACH ROW
DECLARE
v_chainkey nchar(32);
v_chainkey2 nchar(32);
not_exists EXCEPTION;
BEGIN
:NEW.CHAINKEY := v_chainkey;
SELECT GEO_TEST.CHAINKEY INTO v_chainkey2 FROM GEO_TEST WHERE GEO_TEST.CHAINKEY = v_chainkey;
IF v_chainkey2 = '' or v_chainkey2 is null THEN
RAISE not_exists;
ELSE
INSERT INTO GEO_TEST2 VALUES(:NEW.CHAINKEY, :NEW.BLA, :NEW.FOO);
END IF;
EXCEPTION
WHEN not_exists THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR(-20010, 'Chainkey does not exist in parent table GEO_TEST');
END;
I keep getting this error
Error: ORA-04098: trigger 'CARS.GEOTEST2_TRIGGER' is invalid and failed re-validation
SQLState: 42000
ErrorCode: 4098

It isn't assigning because v_chainkey is not at the left hand side of the assignment statement.

I think the sole purpose of that "not_exists" exception is this -
If you try to insert a NULL value for GEO_TEST2.CHAINKEY, then this trigger will throw an error even if at least one NULL value exists in GEO_TEST.CHAINKEY column.
Not sure if that's something that you wanted.

Create table from external data with dates

I have a CSV that looks somewhat like this:
abcuser,12345,5/12/2012,5,250.55
xyzuser,67890,5/1/2012,1,50
ghjuser,52523,1/1/1900,0,0
When I create the external table, then query it I get a date error:
CREATE TABLE xtern_ipay
userid VARCHAR2(50),
acctnbr NUMBER(20, 0),
datelastused DATE,
number_rtxns NUMBER(12, 0),
amtused NUMBER(12, 0)
organization external ( TYPE oracle_loader DEFAULT directory "XTERN_DATA_DIR"
ACCESS parameters (
records delimited BY newline fields terminated BY "," )
location ('SubscriberStatistics.csv') ) reject limit UNLIMITED;
Error I see in the reject log:
Field Definitions for table XTERN_IPAY

error processing column DATELASTUSED in row 3 for datafile g:\externaltables\SubscriberStatistics.csv
ORA-01858: a non-numeric character was found where a numeric was expected
Any ideas on this? I know I need to tell oracle the format of the date on the external file, but I can't figure it out.

Try this:
CREATE TABLE xtern_ipay
   userid         VARCHAR2 (50)
, acctnbr        NUMBER (20, 0)
, datelastused   DATE
, number_rtxns   NUMBER (12, 0)
, amtused        NUMBER (12, 2)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
    ( TYPE oracle_loader DEFAULT DIRECTORY "XTERN_DATA_DIR"
ACCESS PARAMETERS (
RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL
(   userid
, acctnbr
, datelastused DATE 'mm/dd/yyyy'
, number_rtxns
, amtused)
location ('SubscriberStatistics.csv') ) reject LIMIT unlimited;
select * from xtern_ipay;
USERID                                                ACCTNBR DATELASTU NUMBER_RTXNS    AMTUSED
abcuser                                                 12345 12-MAY-12            5     250.55
xyzuser                                                 67890 01-MAY-12            1         50
ghjuser                                                 52523 01-JAN-00            0          0
{code}
Sorry I had to correct the previous statement again for the date format and for the column amtused that was defined without decimals.

wrong date format mm/dd/yy instead of dd/mm/yy

Fixed again the date format and the amtused defined with 2 decimals

Dynamic internal table from SELECT - statement ?

Hi, is it possible to define an internal table just after a select statement is executed so that this internal table holds all the data that come back from the statement ?
thanks in advance,

'create table..' statement behaves differently when alone or in a SP

hello
sorry for the title, I just couldnt think of a better description of the problem in very few words...
the problem I have is:
I created a stored procedure into the oracle db, and this procedure has the following code inside it:
auxsql := 'create table tmp (id smallint, name varchar2(256))';
execute immediate auxsql;
- now this procedure I call from a java class, using a callable statement
when I call the stored procedure, I get this message:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges (at the line containing the execute instruction)
my dillema arises from the fact that if I change my callable statement to execute a query of the form:
auxsql := 'create table tmp (id smallint, name varchar2(256))';
execute immediate auxsql;
- but executed as is, not embedded in a sp or something;
- so if I change to execute simply this, all goes well....
I would much appreciate if anyone knew at least where to start looking.
Thank you,
Silviu Lipovan Oanca
p.s. for any further details, just say.

In all probability, the user that owns the stored procedure has the CREATE TABLE privilege through a role, not granted directly. In PL/SQL blocks (assuming definer's rights), only direct privilege grants are "visible", whereas straight SQL statements also "see" privileges granted through a role.
