Revoke scott's execution on SUBSTR.

Dear,
As the subject indicates, I want to revoke user's execution permission on built-in function. I tried a lot but failed.
Another question, does jdbc provides a way to pre compile a sql statement so that i will not run the sql unless compilation is passed.
for example: we have a query sql invoking a function, but user does not have the permission on this function. There is a workaround that is putting this query into a outer select statement and set the condition as false for the outer query.
SELECT * FROM *'YOU SQL'* where 1=2. But this is to run the sql and I do not know it is a good way(low performance, does the embed sql get executed?).
Looks like odbc can compile sql against database.
Thanks,
Ricky

That isn't possible. Grants and revokes work on schema objects and a built-in function is not a schema object.

You can answer that question yourself by running a simple test.
Here is what the Java Developer's guide says
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28765/addfunc.htm
>
If you use OraclePreparedStatement functionality, the SQL statement you want to run is precompiled and stored in a PreparedStatement object, and you can run it as many times as required without compiling it every time it is run. If the data in the statement changes, you can use bind variables as placeholders for the data and then provide literal values at run time.

Order of values passed to ODCIAggregateIterate

I have implemented my own aggregate function that concatenates varchar2 values together. It works perfectly, however, the order of the aggregated data is inconsistent and does not match the order that it occurs in the table the aggregation is over ( I have sorted the data). As an example:
original data:
column_a     column_b
a                1-abc
a                2-abc
a                3-abc
b                1-abc
b                2-abc
b                3-abcafter aggregation query
column_a         column_b_concat
a                    1-abc,3-abc,2-abc
b                    1-abc,2-abc,3-abcMost of the concatenated data is correct (2nd row) but some of it is not (1st row). My question is....Is there a way to force the order of the aggregated rows to be maintained? I understand for aggregations such as count, sum or avg order is unimportant and so the db optimizes it to run as fast as possible. I can do this using PL/SQL but the execution time is much longer and would rather avoid it if possible.
Thanks.

Hi,
Let's phrase the question in terms of the scott.emp table and the wm_concat function, which a lot of people using Oracle 10 (and up) have available.
Right now you're doing something like:
SELECT    deptno
,       WM_CONCAT (ename)     AS ename_concat
FROM       scott.emp
GROUP BY deptno;and getting results like
.   DEPTNO ENAME_CONCAT
        10 CLARK,KING,MILLER
        20 SMITH,FORD,ADAMS,SCOTT,JONES
        30 ALLEN,BLAKE,MARTIN,TURNER,JAMES,WARDexcept that the names aren't in order (which is exactly the problem: you need to be sure they are in order, as shown above).
I can think of three ways to do that:
(1) modify the function (as you have already considered)
(2) use CONNECT_BY_PATH instead of the function
(3) use the analytic form of the function
My guess is that the options above are listed in order of execution speed ((1) is fastest), but that's just my hunch.
Option (2) works like this:
WITH       got_r_num   AS
     SELECT     deptno
     ,     ename
     ,     ROW_NUMBER () OVER
                  (     PARTITION BY     deptno
                       ORDER BY      ename
                  ) AS r_num
     FROM     scott.emp
SELECT     deptno
,     SUBSTR ( SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH (ename, ',')
            , 2
            )     AS ename_concat
FROM     got_r_num
WHERE     CONNECT_BY_ISLEAF     = 1
START WITH     r_num     = 1
CONNECT BY     r_num     = PRIOR r_num + 1
     AND     deptno     = PRIOR deptno;Option (3) works like this:
WITH got_concat     AS
     SELECT     deptno
     ,     WM_CONCAT (ename) OVER
                 (       PARTITION BY     deptno
                        ORDER BY      ename
                 ) AS e_concat
     FROM     scott.emp
SELECT       deptno
,       MAX (e_concat)     AS ename_concat
FROM       got_concat
GROUP BY deptno;Any user-defined aggregate function can also serve as an analytic function: just add "OVER (...)" when you run it.
Within each partition, the various values of e_concat will all be longer versions of one another, all starting the same way.
For example, in deoptno = 10, the various values are
CLARK
CLARK,KING
CLARK,KING,MILLERThe one you want to display is the longest one, which, since they all start the same way, will also be the MAX.

If sga_target set explicitly, result cache become disabled

hi all,
I am using 11g R2 and automatic memory management. I realized something. if I explicitly declare sga_target parameter in parameter file, result cache become disabled.
as you know if you use automatic memory management, sga_target is set to 0 automatically already but if I write that to the parameter file than whatever I set for result_cache_max_size parameter, instance always opens with result_cache_max_size=0 (I saw that in alert log).
is there any reason for that ?
here is my pfile contents.

I would suggest that you pay more attention to documentation and don't jump to conclusion in a haste. Just because the parameter result_cache_max_size is set to 0, it does not mean that the result cache in itself is disabled. This is the maximum size of the result cache. See below,

Complex query, Union or OR

Hi,
I have a complex SQL query with a big WHERE clause,
Select * from TableA , TableB, TableC
where cond1 and cond2 and cond3
now I have to add another condition Cond4, should I go ahead with
First approach
Select * from TableA , TableB, TableC
where (cond1 and cond2 and cond3) or (cond1 and cond2 and cond4)
Secodn Approach
Select * from TableA , TableB, TableC
where cond1 and cond2 and cond3
Union
Select * from TableA , TableB, TableC
where cond1 and cond2 and cond4
Union will be better or OR will be better

OR will perform better. With every union you have extra table (or index) access, you have to read more buffers.

Configuring "auto" revoke of BPM task execution

Hi All,
I need to implement something to do an "auto" revoke of a task when the user exit from "task execution" view without using revoke+close button.
Someone can help me?
Thanks in advance.
Edited by: g.agnelli on Apr 11, 2011 2:41 PM

Hi,
unfortunately this is not possible today. However it is planned to extend the API in future releases, so that you could programmatically call a revoke method. But again, this is not available in the current release.

How can I revoke execution of dbms_job from users ?

I tried "revoke execute on dbms_job from user_X ;"
and got an error that I can not revoke permission I didn't grant .
I don't want that anyone who wants to schedule a job every 10 seconds will be able to do that . I want to permit only users of dba role , to execute this (or other) package .
Thanks ,
Lior .

dbms_job is used under the covers by several pieces of database functionality including AQ notification, AQ propagation, refreshing of materialized views etc .
I did see a security note that recommended revoking execute on dbms_job from public, but you should be well aware of possible unintended consequences of this action i.e. don't do this on a production database without testing it on a non-production database first !
I don't really see the security benefit of this. Anyone could write a shell script or use the Windows scheduler or cron to submit the same huge query every 2 minutes !
The real solution here is performance monitoring, auditing and accountability.

Sorry i have tried to format the code, but it has changed to �... sorry read this one...
Hello All,
I'm making a Java SQL Client. I have practicaly all basic work done, now I'm trying to improve it.
One thing I want it to do is to allow the user to specify new drivers and to use them to make new connections. To do this I have this class:
public class DriverFinder extends URLClassLoader{
private JarFile jarFile = null;
private Vector drivers = new Vector();
public DriverFinder(String jarName) throws Exception{
super(new URL[]{ new URL("jar", "", "file:" + new File(jarName).getAbsolutePath() +"!/") }, ClassLoader.getSystemClassLoader());
jarFile = new JarFile(new File(jarName));
System.out.println("-->" + System.getProperty("java.class.path"));
System.setProperty("java.class.path", System.getProperty("java.class.path")+File.pathSeparator+jarName);
System.out.println("-->" + System.getProperty("java.class.path"));
Enumeration enumeration = jarFile.entries();
while(enumeration.hasMoreElements()){
String className = ((ZipEntry)enumeration.nextElement()).getName();
if(className.endsWith(".class")){
className = className.substring(0, className.length()-6);
if(className.indexOf("Driver")!=-1)System.out.println(className);
try{
Class classe = loadClass(className, true);
Class[] interfaces = classe.getInterfaces();
for(int i=0; i<interfaces.length; i++){
if(interfaces.getName().equals("java.sql.Driver")){
drivers.add(classe);
Class superclasse = classe.getSuperclass();
interfaces = superclasse.getInterfaces();
for(int i=0; i<interfaces.length; i++){
if(interfaces[i].getName().equals("java.sql.Driver")){
drivers.add(classe);
}catch(NoClassDefFoundError e){
}catch(Exception e){}
public Enumeration getDrivers(){
return drivers.elements();
public String getJarFileName(){
return jarFile.getName();
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
DriverFinder df = new DriverFinder("D:/Classes/db2java.zip");
System.out.println("jar: " + df.getJarFileName());
Enumeration enumeration = df.getDrivers();
while(enumeration.hasMoreElements()){
Class classe = (Class)enumeration.nextElement();
System.out.println(classe.getName());
It loads a jar and searches it looking for drivers (classes implementing directly or indirectly interface java.sql.Driver) At the end of the execution I have found all drivers in the jar file.
The main application loads jar files from an XML file and instantiates one DriverFinder for each jar file. The problem is at execution time, it finds the drivers and i think loads it by issuing this statement (Class classe = loadClass(className, true);), but what i think is not what is happening... the execution of my code throws this exception

Driver file is not in the classpath !!!
I have tried also (as you can see in comented lines) to update System property java.class.path by adding the path to the jar but neither...
I'm sure I'm making a/some mistake/s... can you help me?
Thanks in advice,

Unable to get the execution plan when using dbms_sqltune (11gR2)

Hi,

But, when I run the report I get the following error:

It seems there a missing privileg for dislaying the execution plan.
As a workaround, this is solved by granting select any dictionay (which I don't want) to the user A.
Does someone have an idea about what privilege is missing?
Kind Regards.

Hi,
SELECT ANY DICTIONARY system privilege provides access to SYS schema objects only => which you are using as workaround
SELECT_CATALOG_ROLE provides access to all SYS views only.==> Safe option

Problem in execution of a function having clob datatype

[http://www.orafaq.com/forum/t/128331/98870/]
Hi,
I had a Problem in executing a function having clob datatype.
Here below is my function.
create or replace type split_obj as object
    occurence_id number(10,0),
    splitvalue varchar2(1000)
create or replace type split_rec as table of split_obj;
create or replace FUNCTION Split_new1(
                                       p_string IN clob,
                                       p_delimiter IN VARCHAR2
                                     ) return split_rec pipelined is
    v_length NUMBER := dbms_lob.getlength(p_string);
      v_start NUMBER := 1;
     v_index NUMBER;
      V_temp NUMBER(10,0):=0;
   begin
WHILE(v_start <= v_length)
    LOOP
      v_index := dbms_lob.INSTR(p_string, p_delimiter, v_start);
       IF v_index = 0 THEN
         V_temp:=V_temp+1;
         PIPE ROW(split_obj(v_temp,dbms_lob.SUBSTR(p_string, v_length,v_start)));
         v_start := v_length + 1;
       ELSE
         v_temp:=v_temp+1;
         PIPE ROW(split_obj(v_temp,dbms_lob.SUBSTR(p_string, v_index - v_start,v_start)));
         v_start := v_index + 1;
       END IF;
     END LOOP;
    return;
   end Split_new1;Here attached link contains the procedure trying to execute the function with huge string more than 400kb.
Could you pls let me know how to do the same in sqlplus and toad.
Thanks in advance.

The problem is that in your execution of this you are trying to assign a value to the clob variable using
v_clob := '<string>'
where the string is greater than allowed in PL/SQL.
Whilst the CLOB itself can hold more data, the string is actually the equivalent of a VARCHAR2 so cannot exceed VARCHAR2 limits.
You should use the DBMS_LOB package to append data to your CLOB in chunks of no more than 32767 characters at a time.??? PL/SQL provides full CLOB support. There is no need to use DBMS_LOB (although you could). OP's function has logic errors. Anyway:

Like the error message says, you don't have a global_lexer. So, you need to create a global_lexer and that lexer must have at least a default sub_lexer, then you can use that global_lexer in your index parameters. Please see the demonstration below, including reproduction of the error and solution.

Reporting Services R2 log entries have stopped generating on report execution.

Hi -
I have a new instance of a reporting server and the log files have quit generating on report execution.
When the services restart this is the log file:
rshost!rshost!8e8!01/22/2014-17:08:33:: i INFO: CLR runtime is initialized.
rshost!rshost!8e8!01/22/2014-17:08:33:: i INFO: Derived memory configuration based on physical memory as 3931704 KB
rshost!rshost!8e8!01/22/2014-17:08:33:: w WARN: Failed to initialize performance counters: ffffffff. Possible setup issue.
rshost!rshost!8e8!01/22/2014-17:08:33:: e ERROR: Failed to start service, error=1063.
We have logging turned on on the server. Report Server Mode is Native. Dont see anything in the application log about failed service.
Any ideas?

Hi dwrco,
Have you recently install any update such as MS12-070 (KB2716440)? If so, it is a known issue for some patches for SQL Server. The reason is as follows:
When a .NET application starts up, the .NET Framework tries to check if the Microsoft assemblies are right and have not been modified, this is done through connecting to a server that has a revocation list in internet. When the framework tries to connect
to the server to check if it has access to internet with an elevated timeout, this makes that any other .NET application that has less timeout setting fails (such as SSIS or SSRS) with timeout error.
For example, the error message "The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion." means that the SSRS timeout is lower than the timeout of the connection to the revoke list server established by .NET Framework.
To work around the issue, we usually use two approaches:
Increase the value of ServicesPipeTimeout registry key of Reporting Services
Disable generatePublisherEvidence element of ReportingServicesService.exe.config file
For the detailed steps, please see:

Oracle error while using function dbms_lob.substr()

Following sql statement is causing error select dbms_lob.substr(clob_colum,32767) from Table* when the size of clob_column goes above 4 KB. The error message is given below
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
ORA-06512: at line 1
The issue is getting resolved when reducing the size of the CLOB column.
Is this a limitation of oracle query? Can anybody please help me to resolve this error? Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Shine

Hi.
>
We are using this query inside a package and the data is used to generate an XML file and it finally used to generate a pdf report. There exists many clob records with huge size and in that case report execution fails with the oracle message.
>
While the XML file is generated or PDF report?
Which message? ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small ???
>
So we need to modify the query in a way that it executes fine even if the size is more than 4 KB(upto a possible size). I tried using substr function against the clob column but it does not returned any value.
>
Then, do you need the first 4 KB or the entire CLOB?
Can't you write CLOB directly?
Please post some example data as well as your desired output in order to understand completely your problem and test our ideas.
Regards.

Substring Location in String

I am having a problem using substring to select/filter. The substring selection is not holding to the specified locations in the string. Instead, it finds any matching text in the entire string.
For reference, my web site intent is,
1. A single XML master data base contains all photographs for display. My XML data set does not have quotes.
2. Spry tabbed panels are used to select galleries (Spry regions) (e.g. roses, Big Sur Coast, etc) from the master data base. There are a dozen galleries.
3. Thumbnails of a gallery are displayed in the content panel.
4. Selecting a thumbnail displays a large view of the selected photo in a separate div (Spry detail region).
The galleries are filtered using spry:test, with the "subject" variable compared against a specified value (i.e. rose, Monterey, Salinas, etc.).
The "2010 Photographs" gallery is determined by the year of the photo. In the "name" variable, the first 6 digits are the date (month, day, year). I've set up the spry:test with substring as follows,
spry:test="'substring({name},5,2)'.search ('10 ') != -1;"
This is to obtain the 5th and 6th locations of "name" variable and compare it with the "10 ".
A sample of the "photo" node follows,
<photo>
<name>032010 Lover's Pt, Pacific Grove 02a web.jpg</name>
<width>599</width>
<height>400</height>
<thumbname>032010 Lover's Pt, Pacific Grove 02a thumbnail.jpg.</thumbname>
<thumbwidth>150</thumbwidth>
<thumbheight>100</thumbheight>
<subject>night</subject>
<description>West side of Lover's Point, Pacific Grove, Ca.; the surf was unusually calm. The glow reflecting on the clouds and the bay is from the town of Santa Cruz.</description>
</photo>
<photo>
<name>090609 Pelican over Pacific Grove 02a 8x10 web.jpg</name>
<width>500</width>
<height>400</height>
<thumbname>090609 Pelican over Pacific Grove 02a 8x10 thumbnail.jpg</thumbname>
<thumbwidth>125</thumbwidth>
<thumbheight>100</thumbheight>
<subject>animal</subject>
<description>Pelican caught in flight; using a flash, this photograph was taken at dusk; Pacific Grove, Ca.</description>
</photo>
Both of these nodes would be selected with the "10 " criteria. However the second one is not from the year 2010.
The full source code is shown below.
My search of these forums and the Internet have indicated that this should work. Please explain what I am missing or doing incorrectly in the code.
I thank you.
Scott

I thank you but the change of the starting location did not correct the problem. I copied your script and pasted it into the source code but the results were the same set of thumbnails; several of the thumbnails are prior to (20)10.
In considering the results, I decided to try,
spry:test="'{name}'.search ('10 ') != -1;"
This filter gave the same result as,
spry:test="'substring({name},4,2)'.search ('10 ') != -1;"
I found out that the "4,2" arguments of substring should be "4,6". Each of these arguments are locations; other substring functions have location and length.
I updated the filter to,
spry:test="'substring({name},4,6)'.search ('10') != -1;"
The filter result was not changed. Are the location arguments being ignored or overwritten by a default setting? The symptom is that the first location is "0" and the second location is omitted.
I thank you for your help. This is rather fascinating!
Scott
Howdy,
When you take a closer look at your at your code you will notice that you actually wrapped the substring function inside a string. So you are actually performing a search on:
'substring(contents,4,6)'
So what i would suggest is to do:
spry:test="'{name}'.substring( 4,6 ).search( '10' ) != -1 "
And if that doesn't work, try to use a function::syntax instead, see API: function::<function name>

Revoke scott's execution on SUBSTR.
