Recovering Data from a truncated table in OraXE?

A funny thing happened, i truncated a table containing BLOBs and other stuff, with over 700 entries!!, now i wanna know if it´s feasible to recover that truncated data, i'm just wondering about it, i know it sounds silly i know, but the storage space didn´t get shorter after the data was truncated from the table, so after this´s been said, can any body explain me what happened, can i retrieved this truncated data that i truncated from the table (without any previous backup)?

Truncate simply resets the pointer that marks the 'end of data' in a table to the beginning of the table. The storage is still allocated, on the assumption that you want to reuse the table and want to avoid the overhead associated with extending the table. The system knows there are never any rows past the 'end of data' and it won;t bother looking past that point.
Recovering that data from the actual current database - about as likely as recovering data from the Windows recycle bin when you've set the max allowable storage in the recycle bin to '0'. Technically possible, but needing someone with a lot of experience and patience ... and absolutely no changes to the database after truncate. An expensive proposition.
You have, of course, switched to archive log mode and been taking regular backups. (Have you not?) In which case, a 'point in time' recover, to just before the truncate, would be the solution. This brings back the database (or at least a tablespace) back to a former 'life', and is quite different from restoring a table.

Need to delete specific Months Data from SQL Server Table

Greetings Everyone,
So i have one table which contains 5 years old data, now business wants to keep just one year old data and data from qurter months i.e. (jan, mar, June, sep and December), i need to do this in stored procedure. how i can achive this using month lookup table.
Thank you in advance

Hi Devin,
In a production environment, you should be double cautious about the data. I have no idea why you’re about to remove the data just years old. In one of the applications I used to support, the data retention policy is like to keep raw data for latest month
and the elder data would get rollup as max, min, average and so on to store in another table. That’s a good example for data retention.
In your case I still suggest you keep the elder data in another table. If the data size is so huge that violates your storage threshold, get the data rollup and store the aggregated would be a good option.
Anyway if you don’t care about the elder data, you can just delete them with code like below.
DELETE
FROM yourTable
WHERE YEAR(dateColumn) < YEAR(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) OR (MONTH(dateColumn) not in (1,3,6,9,12) AND YEAR(dateColumn) = YEAR(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP))
In some cases to remove data from very large table, DELETE performs bad. TRUNCATE would be a better option which works faster. Read more by clicking
here. In your case, if necessary, you can reference the below draft code.
SELECT * INTO tableTemp FROM yourTable WHERE YEAR(dateColumn) = YEAR(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP) AND MONTH(dateColumn) IN(1,3,6,9,12)
TRUNCATE yourTable;
INSERT INTO yourTable SELECT * FROM tableTemp
As you mentioned, you need to do the deletion in Stored Procedure(SP). Can you post your table DDL with sample data and specify your requirement details so that I can help to compose your SP.
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.
Best regards,
Eric Zhang

Analyse big data in Excel? Why the dynamic tables doesn't take all the data from the source table.

Hi,
I'm doing a internship in a production line.
My job is to recover production data (input data) and test data (output data) using various types of software (excel, BusinessObject sap, etc).
To this day, I have recovered hundreds of production data, and have also organized in excel but I need to analyze and plot them.
I would like to know who can give me an idea of how I could plot as much data and analysis.
Now i trying to use dynamic charts and plot some data but I did not get acceptable answers.
How could I compare, analyze and graph for example:
Five columns of production (input) with five (5) columns tested (data output).
After graphing.
Someone can give me a technique to analyze data? ie I compare column by column?
or some other technique? as a conglomerate could analyze data?
o give you an idea of the contect, now I perform an internship in a manufacturing turbines.
My job is to analyze the input data (production) and to estimate the possible behavior of the turbines in the tests.
As I said, use dynamic tables in excel, but i have not idea why the dynamic tables doesn't take all the data from the source table.
I appreciate your advice
Thanks

You can declare as PT source whole Columns [$A:$E], without rows number.
Then You'll have all actually data.

Can I restore the deleted statistical data from the database tables?

Hi all,
I have deleted the statistical data from the database tables like(Ex: RSDDSTAT, RSDDSTATWHM,..) by mistake through RSA1> Tools> BW Statistics for Infoproviders--> Delete.
Is there any way to restore the deleted data back? Thanks in advance.

Now I'm really confused-
Your first post said
"I have deleted the statistical data from the database tables like(Ex: RSDDSTAT, RSDDSTATWHM,..) by mistake through RSA1> Tools> BW Statistics for Infoproviders--> Delete."
but your last respsonse said
"I have deleted the BW Statistics data, not the actual data in RSDDSTAT tables through
RSA1 -> Tools -> BW Statistics for InfoProviders -> clicked 'Delete' bin to delete data."
If you used the RSA1 -> Tools -> BW Statistics for InfoProviders -> clicked 'Delete' - then you deleted the data from the RSDDSTAT tables. This assumes you accepted the default date range that would have popped up after the clicking on the Delete button which specified to delete thru the current date. If this is what you did, the data is gone. Your only hope is be to recover from a DB backup.
The data in the RSDDSTAT tables is what is used to feed the BW Statistics cubes, generally on a daily basis.

Archiving old data from a partitioned table

Hi,
While sifting through all the options for archiving the old data from a table which is also indexed, i came across a few methods which could be used:
1. Use a CTAS to create new tables on a different tablespace from the partitions on the exisitng table. Then swap these new tables with the data from the partitions, drop the partitions on the exisiting table (or truncate them although i m not sure which one is the recommended method),offline this tablespace and keep it archived. In case you require it in the future, again swap these partitions wih the data from the archived tables. I am not sure if i got the method correctly.
2. Keep an export of all the partitions which need to be archived and keep that .dmp file on a storage media. Once they are exported, truncate the corresponding partitions in the original table. If required in the future, import these partitions.
But i have one constraint on my Db which is I cannot create a new archive tablespace for holding the tables containing the partitioned data into then as I have only 1 tablespace allocated to my appplication on that DB as there are multiple apps residing on it together. Kindly suggest what option is the best suited for me now. Should I go with option 2?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Thanks a bunch for all your replies. Yeah, I am planning to go ahead with the option 2. Below is the method I have decided upon. Kindly verify is my line of understanding is correct:
1. export the partition using the clause:
exp ID/passwd file=abc.dmp log=abc.log tables=schemaname.tablename:partition_name rows=yes indexes=yes
2. Then drop this partition on the original table using the statement:
ALTER TABLE tablename drop PARTITION partition_name UPDATE GLOBAL INDEXES;
If I now want to import this dump file into my original table again, I will first have to create this partition on my table using the statement:
3. ALTER TABLE tablename ADD PARTITION partition_name VALUES LESS THAN ( '<<>>' ) ;
4. Then import the data into that partition using:
imp ID/passwd FILE=abc.dmp log=xyz.log TABLES=schemaname.tablename:partition_name IGNORE=y
Now my query here is that this partitioned table has a global index associated with it. So once i create this partition and import the data into it, do i need to drop and recreate the global indexes on this table or is there any aother method to update the indexes. Kindly suggest.
Thanks again!! :)

Auditing data from global temporary table

Hi I have a process that uses a global temporary table.
What it does it serve a consolidation point to merge a lot of data.
Some the former designer decides to use a global temporary table and the row will be gone once it got commit.
However, the data is corrupted occasionally. And ideally we would like to fix the upstream source data but this is too complicated and not feasible.
So we decide to audit the data going into the global temporary table. We want to generate a report on the corrupted data.
However, whenever I commit, the data is gone from the global temporary table and we do not want to set it to commit preserve rows for the global temporary table
Even with autonomous transaction this is not working out as once it commits the data is gone.
Any idea how this can be done. Here are the prototype that I build to demo this:
drop table gt_tst1;
--this is the table its data needs to get audit
create global temporary table gt_tst1(id number); --on commit preserve rows;
drop table not_gt_tst1;
--this table is used for storign the corrupt data and generate report
create table not_gt_tst1 as select * from gt_tst1;
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE tst_gt_tst1 IS
PRAGMA AUTONOMOUS_TRANSACTION;
BEGIN
--if there is a way to do the insert and select once. but it seems it is not working for global temporay table unless change it to on commit preserve rows
INSERT
when m2 = 0 THEN
INTO not_gt_tst1(id)values(object_id)
when m3 = 0 THEN
INTO gt_tst1(id) values (object_id)
select object_id,mod(object_id,2) m2, mod(object_id,3) m3 from dba_objects where rownum < 101;
COMMIT;
END tst_gt_tst1;
select sysdate from dual;
truncate table gt_tst1;
truncate table not_gt_tst1;
select * from gt_tst1;
select * from not_gt_tst1;
execute tst_gt_tst1;
select * from gt_tst1; -- data gone
select * from not_gt_tst1;
--commit
select sysdate from dual;
spool off

The data is poor and the code is poor and the dev and QA env is also poor..
And the business asks us to fix the data..However..we do not have an environment close enough to test it out before it got put into production that is the bottom line.
Heres the dev and QA env cannot be trust to the extent that I can sign off and say it will give the same behavior as the production env
So we would like to minimize the risk as there are other process uses these table and we are not sure if changing this would lead to UN-expected behavior.
We cannot tell some other process rely on the fact that these table got empty out after commit.

How to get the data from a cluster table to BW

Dear All,
I want to extract the data from R/3 to BW by using 2 tables and one Cluster B2.
Actually my report contains some fields from PA2001, PA2002 and one cluster table B2 (Table ZES). Can I create View by using these 3 tables? If it is not possible how can I get the data from the cluster? Can I create generic datasource by using cluster tables directly?
In SE11 Transaction the Cluster (table ZES) is showing invalid table.
I referred some Forums, but no use.
Can any body tell me procedure to get the data from a cluster (table ZES) ?
Waiting for you results.
Thanks and regards
Rajesh

HI Siggi,
Thank you for your reply..
I am also planning to do FM to get the data. But it is saying that the Cluster table ZES does not exist (ZES is the the standard table, in SE11 also).
How can I use the Fields from the that table.?
What can I do now, can you please explain me about this point.
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks and Regards
Rajesh

How to pass the data from a input table to RFC data service?

Hi,
I am doing a prototype with VC, I'm wondering how VC pass the data from a table view to a backend data service? For example, I have one RFC in the backend system with a tabel type importing parameter, now I want to pass all the data from an input table view to the RFC, I guess it's possible but I don't know how to do it.
I try to create some events between the input table and data service, but seems there is no a system event can export the whole table to the backend data service.
Thanks for your answer.

Thanks for your answer, I tried the solution 2, I create "Submit" button, and ser the mapping scope to be "All data rows", it only works when I select at least one row, otherwise the data would not be passed.
Another question is I have serveral imported table parameter, for each table I have one "submit" event, I want these tables to be submitted at the same time, but if I click the submit button in one table toolbar, I can only submit the table data which has a submit button clicked, for other tables, the data is not passed, how can I achieve it?
Thanks.

How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility

How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility?
Last night i was using my external hard drive, for some reason the folder just closed and i couldn't find it on my desktop.
After googling solutions, i found it in the disk utilities, i clicked on the 'repair' button many times, but it said the 'error...' message.
So i ejected it to try again, now when i connect the USB external hard drive it doesn't show up on my desktop or disk utilities.
I really just want to either repair or recover the data on it because it literally has everything (documents, work files, photos etc) on it,
I downloaded an application to recover my files but it needs the USB to at least show up.recognise it which mine doesn't.
I know i should've backed it up on another USB, this definitely teaches me for next time to back up all my files.
Are the files lost forever or can i recover them by going to a shop or using a software?

Thank you for responding.
This might sound stupid since i'm not really knowledgeable with Macs,
but since all my files were moved from my mac computer to the external hard drive,
is it possible to recover those files through my Mac - like recovering deleted files?

DB Connect Load - "Unknow error while uploading data from the DB Table"

Hi Experts,
We have our BI7 system connected to Oracle DB based third party tool. The loads are performing quite well in DEV environment.
I would like to know, how we transport DB Connect datasources to Quality systems? Any different process to be followed for DB Connect datasources?
At present the connections between BI Quality and the third party quality systems are established. We transported the DataSource from BI DEV system to BI quality system, but on trigerring an infopackage we are not able to perform loads. It prompts - "Unknow error while uploading data from the DB Table".
Also on comparing the DataSources in DEV system and Quality system there are no fields in "Proposal" tab of datasource in Quality system. Also I cannot change or activate Datasource in Quality system as we dont have change access in quality.
Please advice.
Thanks,
Abhijit

Hi,
Sorry for bumping an old thread ....
Did this issue get ever get resolved?
I am facing the same one. The loads work successfully in Dev. The transport for DBConnect DS also moved in successfully.
One strange this is that DB User for dev did not automatically change to db user from quality when I transported the DBConnect datasource. DBCon DS still shows me the DB User from Dev in Quality system
I get "Unknown Error" whenever I trigger the data package.

Help Required -- Can we use SQL Query to READ data from SAP MDM Tables

Hi All,
Please help.........
Can we use SQL Query to READ(No Creation/Updation/Deletion just Read) Data from SAP MDM tables directly, without using MDM Syndicator.
Or direct SQL access to SAP MDM tables is not possible. Only through MDM Syndicator can we export data.
Thanks in Advance
Regards

All the tables you create in Repository comes under A2i_CM_Tables in Database named as your repository name. So the tables names are fields of table A2i_CM_Tables. Now i tried it but cant make it.
Now, I dont think its possible to extract all fields in tables and there values using select query. May be pure sql guy can do that or not.
But there is no relation of data extraction and syndicator. Data is viewed in Data Manager. and you can also store data in a file from DM also.

How can I modify data from a Transparent Table without ABAP code.

Hi,All
How can I modify data from a Transparent Table (like TCURR), and important thing is I want do all that with no ABAP code here. It is like that we always do that in a Oracle database use TOAD or PLSQL third party tools, with no script code here.
I had fond that there is a way can do that:
1, type 'se11',and Display Database table 'TCURR', click Contents, then click Execute to display all data
2, type '/h' and let debugging on
3, select one of this data then click 'Display',enter in debugging system.
4, then make a breakpoint in the code. But... display a dialog let I type a 'ABAP Cmnds', I want to know what can be type in for that?
and, My system is ECC6.
thank you all

Hello,
Your approach (with Vijay's suggestion) MAY work. However, depending on how tight security is at the company that you are working at you may or may not be able to acutaly change the value of the SHOW field to EDIT. This will be especially true if you are working in a Production environment. Vijay's other comment is true as well. This is not a recommended approach to change data (especially data with a financial impact like TCURR) in a production environment. The auditors will not be impressed.
Explore the option of a maintenace view or look at tcode TBDM to upload a file which includes daily rates from providers like Reuters or try tcode s_bce_68000174 which is a maintenance view on TCURR.

Recovering data from Time Capsule after conversion from Snow Leopard to Lion

Had a problem with my iMac, which was running Snow Leopard O/S. Data was backed up on Time Capsule using Time Machine, although recent back-ups had failed (but earlier back-ups had been OK). Apple support determined that I needed to re-install the O/S and they walked me through it. After blowing away all data (believing that once O/S reinstalled, could recover from Time Capsule), the reinstall failed. Took to Apple store, where they installed Lion at my request. Then tried to recover from Time Capsule, but couldn't do so. Sparse file doesn't work (it shows 10GB, which is wrong as it had several hundred GB's before due to lots of photos). Apple Support couldn't solve issue, believes it was corrupted with the last backup. Ultimately recommended that I have professional data recovery service recover data from the iMac hard-drive (as opposed to Time Capsule). Spoke to recovery service recommended by Apple, and it is very expensive (also, given the O/S reinstall, anything they recover will have new file names and no directory structure). They also said getting data off the Time Capsule is even more difficult and expensive to recover. I'm not a happy camper.
I would welcome any thoughts on what to do. FWIW, I live in South Florida and there appear to be lots of data recovery companies locally, but Apple support had said that they have only a few authorized vendors that can do it without voiding warranty, so I'm reluctant to even call them. Thanks. Steve

Your backups may be corrupted.
Try to repair them, via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder).
Mount the sparse bundle by opening the TC in the Finder and double-clicking on the sparse bundle. Drag the sparse bundle into Disk Utility's sidebar, and do a +*Repair Disk*+ (not permissions) on it. If it finds errors it can't fix, run it again (and again), until it either fixes them all, or can't fix any more.

Retrieve data from a large table from ORACLE 10g

I am working with a Microsoft Visual Studio Project that requires to retrieve data from a large table from Oracle 10g database and export the data into the hard drive.
The problem here is that I am not able to connect to the database directly because of license issue but I can use a third party API to retrieve data from the database. This API has sufficient previllege/license permission on to the database to perform retrieval of data. So, I am not able to use DTS/SSIS or other tool to import data from the database directly connecting to it.
Here my approach is...first retrieve the data using the API into a .net DataTable and then dump the records from it into the hard drive in a specific format (might be in Excel file/ another SQL server database).
When I try to retrieve the data from a large table having over 13 lacs records (3-4 GB) in a data table using the visual studio project, I get an Out of memory exception.
But is there any better way to retrieve the records chunk by chunk and do the export without loosing the state of the data in the table?
Any help on this problem will be highly appriciated.
Thanks in advance...

Girish...Thanks for your reply...But I am sorry for the confusions. Let me explain that...
1."export the data into another media into the hard drive."
What does it mean by this line i.e. another media into hard drive???
ANS: Sorry...I just want to write the data in a file or in a table in SQL server database.
2."I am not able to connect to the database directly because of license issue"
huh?? I never heard this question that a user is not able to connect the db because of license. What error / message you are getting?
ANS: My company uses a 3rd party application that uses ORACLE 10g. And my compnay is licensed to use the 3rd party application (APP+Database is a package) and did not purchased ORACLE license to use directly. So I will not connect to the database directly.
3.I am not sure which API is you are talking about, but i am running an application of the visual studio data grid or similar kind of controls; in which i can select (select query) as many rows as i needed; no issue.
ANS: This API is provided by the 3rd party application vendor. I can pass a query to it and it returns a datatable.
4."better way to retrieve the records chunk by chunk and do the export without loosing the state of the data in the table?"
ANS: As I get a system error (out of memory) when I select all rows in a datatable at a time, I wanted to retrieve the data in multiple phases.
E.g: 1 to 20,000 records in 1st phase
20,001 to 40,000 records in 2nd phase
40,001 to ...... records in 3nd phase
and so on...
Please let me know if this does not clarify your confusions... :)
Thanks...
