Performance for ALTER TABLE statements

Hi,
I'd like to improve performance for scripts running several ALTER TABLE statements. I have two questions regarding this.
This is the original code:
ALTER TABLE CUSTOMER_ORDER_DELIVERY_TAB ADD (
QTY_TO_INVOICE NUMBER NULL );
ALTER TABLE CUSTOMER_ORDER_DELIVERY_TAB ADD (
QTY_INVOICED NUMBER NULL );
1. Would I gain any performance by making the following changes?
ALTER TABLE CUSTOMER_ORDER_DELIVERY_TAB ADD (
QTY_TO_INVOICE NUMBER NULL,
QTY_INVOICED NUMBER NULL );
These columns are later on filled with values and then made NOT NULL.
2. Would I gain anything by make these columns NOT NULL with a DEFAULT value in the first statement and then later on insert the values?

null

1. It wud definitely increase the performance.
2. You can only have NOT NULL columns added to an existing table if the table is empty.

Hi Rich Heilman,
Thanks for your response. I have tried with dynamic SQL. I am trying to add partitions to a non portioned table.
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER TABLE ' || :SCHEMA_NAME || '.TARGET_TABLE PARTITION BY RANGE (TARGET_TYPE_ID) (PARTITION VALUE = 1, PARTITION VALUE = 2, PARTITION VALUE = 3, PARTITION VALUE = 4, PARTITION OTHERS)';
Execution fails with error
Could not execute 'CALL PARTITION_TARGET_TABLE('SUREN_TEST')' in 1.160 seconds .

Any reasons for this error?

What privs r required to run Alter table truncate partition update indexes?

I rebuilt the indexes on the table. Know my problem is that when I truncate a partition on the table the unique index whic consist of the primary key fields becomes unusable which causes my to have to rebuild it after each truncate. I tried to runm the following statement from the master schema on but get
an insufficient privs error when I use "update indexes":
Alter table schema_name.table_name truncate partition partition_name storage update indexes;
What priv does master need to perform statement successfully when there's data in it?
Does using 'update indexes' needs extra priveleges?
Thanks in Advance
Gagan

Hi Its Oracle 10.2.0.4 64 Bit on HP UX.
I dont have the exact error as I got this much information only from the end user....It will be couple of hours more then he will be available again
ok so for Truncate we need 'Drop any' privs but to use clause 'update indexes' alongwith do we need some extra privelege?
Thanks again

Alter table query taking more time

Hi,
My table T1 contains lots of data and when I am trying to run the below query its taking around 1 hour to update and some times its hanging.
"ALTER TABLE T1 ADD COLUMN C1 INTEGER DEFAULT 1 NOT NULL;"
How we can resolve this? Any help
Thanks,

and some times its hanging.How Do you know that it hangs?

(oracle 8i)Alter Table table coalesce partition

Hi all,
Need assistance in solving a problem. I have a possibly large fragemented table. I tried to run a coalese command ALTER TABLE EMPTY_COPY COALESCE PARTITION
got an error: 'ora -14501 - object is not partitioned'
NOt sure how to proceed, I am working in oracle 8i environment.
Should I do :
ALTER TABLESPACE MY_DATA COALESCE
ALTER INDEX EMPTY_COPY_PK COALESCE
ALTER INDEX EMPTY_COPY_PK REBUILD
ALTER TABLE MY_DATA.EMPTY_COPY MOVE TABLESPACE NEW_DATA
Not sure if the syntax is correct or which to use, are there any redundancies in the commands above.
Thanks kindly for any input you may provide.

thanks.
My real problem is an ora 1653 'UNABLE TO EXTEND TABLE' error where I could not insert into a table. The PCT_INCREASE was at 25 and the next_extext was at 160mb. Way too large. There still looks to be l plenty of space available for an another extent but it is not being allocated.
Would this apply?

Generate DDL - change is a new column and I want to generate a alter table

Morning all,
I have searched and looked all over the data modeler and I cannot find this option ... yet I did find it easily in Designer.
I hope you can help me.
SQL Developer Data Modeler v3.0.0.665.
I have added a new column to a table and when I generate the DDL I would like it to be an alter table add column rather than a create table.
This feature is in Designer so I would think it would be in data modeler.
Just incase my description is not clear here are the high level steps so it is clear.
1. create the logical model
2. create the relational from the logical.
3. create the physical from the relational.
4. generate DDL and run in database. At this point I go to production with my system and all is well.
5. At this point we have an enhancement request. For the model it will be a new column in a table.
6. update logical model.
7. update relational from logical
8. update physical from relational
9. generate DDL. Here I would like to have the generate be aware the it needs only to generate an alter table add column and not create the table.
This is something I do alot as all my models are in production. I cannot find how to do this step of getting data modeler to generate the alter.
Designer does this exceptionally well.
Quite often it is more than a single column. The changes can be many and made over time and at the time of generating the DDL you may not recall every single change you made. To have the tool discover those changes for you and generate the appropriate DDL is a feature I regard as very high.
I hope this is clear and you can help me.
Cheers
Chris ....

Hi Chris,
you need to compare your model against database - import from database into same relational model and use "swap target" option - in this case "alter statements" against database will be generated.
You can look at demonstrations here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/datamodeler/demonstrations-224554.html
Probably this particular one will be most helpful http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/sqldev/importddl/importddl.html
Soon or later your changes will require table to be recreated and you'll need to backup your data - you can consider usage of "Advanced DDL" option - script will be generated that will unload the content of your table (including LOBs) to file system accessible from database and restore it after changes. Well don't try it directly on production system :).

Is alter table shrink space a logged operation?

Hello -
I am running alter table xxxxxx shrink space. I have a few questions:
1. Is this a logged operation? Oracle handles this interanally as insert/delete operations, but I am not seeing more arch logs being generated.
2. If I stop in the middle of the shrink process, can Oracle resume where it left off?
3. How can I monitor the progress of the shrink operation? I am not seeing the sid, serial# in v$session_longops.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
mike

I'm not sure that you will be able to "monitor" it.
You could test using dbms_space to see if it shows any changes will the shrink is in progresss.
One other way would be to watch V$TRANSACTION USED_UREC (which will reflect counts for rows and index entries) to see USED_UREC approaching the expected number of table+index entries being rebuilt.

Error 00904 trying to alter table ... ?!

I'm running a script to create a table, the primary key of that table will then be used in an Alter Table command to make it a foreign key in an already exisiting table. Code:
CREATE TABLE Category
CATCODE VARCHAR2(3),
CatDesc VARCHAR2(11) NOT NULL,
CONSTRAINT Category_CATCODE_pk PRIMARY KEY(CATCODE)
INSERT INTO Category(CATCODE, CatDesc) VALUES('BUS','Business');
INSERT INTO Category(CATCODE, CatDesc) VALUES('CHN','Children');
INSERT INTO Category(CATCODE, CatDesc) VALUES('COK','Cooking');
INSERT INTO Category(CATCODE, CatDesc) VALUES('COM','Computer');
INSERT INTO Category(CATCODE, CatDesc) VALUES('FAL','Family Life');
INSERT INTO Category(CATCODE, CatDesc) VALUES('FIT','Fitness');
INSERT INTO Category(CATCODE, CatDesc) VALUES('SEH','Self Help');
INSERT INTO Category(CATCODE, CatDesc) VALUES('LIT','Literature');
ALTER TABLE books ADD CONSTRAINT books_Category_fk FOREIGN KEY (CATCODE) REFERENCES Category(CATCODE);
And the error:
Error starting at line 20 in command:
ALTER TABLE books ADD CONSTRAINT books_Category_fk FOREIGN KEY (CATCODE) REFERENCES Category(CATCODE)
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-00904: "CATCODE": invalid identifier
00904. 00000 - "%s: invalid identifier"
*Cause:
*Action:
I have no idea what is wrong with my code. I successfully make my table and insert the data, why is it telling me CatCode is an invalid identifier?...
( I originally posted it in the wrong section whoops )

Zombnom wrote:
There isn't, I'm trying to ADD a column with CatCode being a foreign key in the books table.Well there's your problem. Column and foreign key are two seperate things. You can combine the two operations though:
ALTER TABLE books ADD catcode CONSTRAINT books_category_fk REFERENCES category(catcode);

Maurice Muller wrote:
Hi,
As far as I remember a exchange partition can only be done when no other query is accessing the table.
So you should check if any other queries are executed against the table PSALESREG while you do the exchange partition. Maurice,
queries won't block the exchange operation but continue to read from the "original", exchanged segment; this "cross-DDL" read consistency is a feature that has been introduced a long time ago.
But any kind of (long-running) DML should effectively prevent the exchange operation. Still I would assume that this shouldn't show up as "library cache lock", but you would get an "ORA-00054: resource busy" error.

Question about Alter table syntax

Hi all,
I have an issue I need help with. I have created a script for an automated partition create on a monthly basis. It creates a monthly partition containing all dates within the respective month. The script is essentially this:
ALTER TABLE SCHEMA.TABLE
ADD PARTITION &&1
VALUES LESS THAN (to_number(to_char(to_date('&&2', 'DD-MON-YY'), 'YYYYMMDD')))
TABLESPACE LARGE_DATA94 COMPRESS;
I continually get this error message "ORA-14019: partition bound element must be one of: string, datetime or interval literal, number, or MAXVALUE"
The variable &&2 is passing in character data for the first of the month (E.G. '01-SEP-12'). &&1 passes character data for the month in MONYY ('AUG12') I can run this query:
select
(to_number(to_char(to_date('&&2', 'DD-MON-YY'), 'YYYYMMDD')))
from dual;
With the output of 20120901. I cannot understand why I am able to run this partition create statement by hardcoding 20120901 but passing it in as a variable I receive the error. Note that I am not having problems with the &&1 variable. If anyone has any ideas please let me know. Thanks!

Thanks!I don't understand why you are taking a string, converting it to a date, then converting the date BACK TO a string ... then trying to convert that string to a number.
What is the data type of the partitioning key? It appears that it is a NUMBER, but actually represents a DATE. If so, that is a fundamentally flawed design.

Alter table returns ORA-00907

Hi all,
The following instruction, in an update script provided by a software editor, returns me a ORA-00907 error (missing right parenthesis) :
alter table TABLE_NAME add C1 VARCHAR2(10 byte) ;
I ran it on a 8i database.
If I remove the "byte" between parenthesis, the scripts runs OK.
What is the "byte" option for ?
Is it only available from 9i version for example ?
thanks for your help
Antoine

I think it is from 10g onwards only (not sure though).
It means the size of the column is specified in bytes instead of characters. In 8i there is no difference, but in 10g you can/should use multibyte charsets like AL32UTF8.
That simply means certain characters need more than one byte to store it (Euro-Sign for example). It would not be possible to add 10 Euro-Signs to your VARCHAR2(10 byte) column, but it would work with a VARCHAR2(10 char) column.
This explanation is not very good, a better one can be found in the [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14225/ch6unicode.htm#CACHJHDJ]Oracle 10 Globalization Guide
Just remove the "byte" from the script and you are doing fine.

Alter table FACT CLUSTER DIM PACK returns -5015 during heterog migrat

Hi
We are performing a heterogeneous migration from Oracle to MaxDB (NW70 SR1}. The Database load is failing on the SAPDFACT fact tables. It appears that the SQL engine is not aware of the enhancements delivered in the BW performance Pack (I'm assuming this from reading between the lines in the OSS notes - according to the online docs this alter table option doesn't exist..) . We are running 7.6.xx
We are performing this on a test system & this is our second attempt at migrating our Test BI system. The first attempt was successful. The SAP and MaxDB instances were deleted (SDBUNINST -all) and the system rebooted. I have performed the 2nd sttempt several times with the same result each time.

Thanks for the reply Markus.
I am getting the same error with the latest R3load (and library) as well.
I updated the DB.SAR files on the CD and received the error. Thinking there maybe a version mismatch somewhere, I reverted to the original DB.SAR files. Got the same error and captured the log above.
I have logged a OSS call as well.

Alter table inside a procedure

In one of my packaged procedure i am altering a table and then compiling the whole schema. those two statements are given below:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'alter table t_credit_book_entry add key_dummy varchar2(28 char)';
dbms_utility.compile_schema(schema => 'DM01_TRANS');When i call this packaged procedure, it took 30 minutes to complete. During the execution, i identified one wait event called "labrary_cache_pin" for which wait time was increasing. Then i have removed these 2 lines from procedure and tried to call it like below, it took only 3 minutes.
EXEC my_pkg.proc('CR');
alter table t_credit_book_entry add key_dummy varchar2(28 char)
EXEC dbms_utility.compile_schema(schema => 'DM01_TRANS');
I tried it several times with the same result. Can anybody tell me, why its happening like this and what is the functionality of "library cache pin"?

You are right but in my current requirement this column is needed for intermediate processing and after processing i am making it to unused.
And my issue was solved by calling the following inside the procedure (which will compile only invalid objects):
dbms_utility(schema=>'DM01_TRANS',compile_all=>FALSE);In my previous approach it was going for a recursive call and ideally should run for-ever. Then I doubt, how it has finished in 30 minutes!!!

Alter table modify lob shrink space hangs despite ddl_lock_timeout

Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.2.0 - 64bit Production
The following command hangs despite session parameter ddl_lock_timeout being set to 0:
alter table <table> modify lob (<column>) (shrink space);
Data type of <column> is CLOB. In another session a transaction on <table> is open, with a simple update on a different (non-LOB) column.
Looks like a bug to me, but have no access to metalink for confirmation/SR submission and would appreciate any comments/help on this issue.

From Oracle 11 documentation ( http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28310/schema003.htm#CBBBIADA )
