Can we create external table from an existing database table ?

Hi everyone,
As i understand, its possible to create a new table based on an existing table without copying any values from it, using the following command;
CREATE TABLE newtable AS
(SELECT * FROM oldtable WHERE 1=2);
I would like to know whether we can do a similar thing with external tables. That is to create an external table with the same columns as of an existing table.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

You need to clear conception about external table.

How to create table(s)/indexes on a new database from an existing database

Hello all - I need some help in finishing a task, quick response is really appreciated
So, I have a new database that needs creation of tables including indexes and objects for two different tablespaces called CDS1 and CSD2. I have created these tablespaces and datafiles associated with them. I need some help just to create these tables and indexes from an existing database without copying any of its contents. How can I achieve this, these are 2 different servers at different locations. Can somebody give me step by step instruction - would greatly appreciate it !
Thanks,

How to create a table from an existing table with new column

Hi !
Please help me.
I want to create a table from an existing table with data and add two new column to the new table.
What will be the syntax?

craete table new_table as select a.*, 'somevalue' new_col1, 'somevalue'
new_col2 from old_table a;Also there is a pitfall - newly created table will accept column type and precision from the select statement, so further you can be needed to modify columns
if you want to have VARCHAR2 instead of CHAR for example:
SQL> create table new_dept as select dept.*, 'New data' new_col from dept;
Table created.
SQL> desc new_dept
Name                                      Null?    Type
DEPTNO                                             NUMBER(2)
DNAME                                              VARCHAR2(14)
LOC                                                VARCHAR2(13)
NEW_COL                                            CHAR(8)
SQL> alter table new_dept modify (new_col varchar2(8));
Table altered.
SQL> desc new_dept
Name                                      Null?    Type
DEPTNO                                             NUMBER(2)
DNAME                                              VARCHAR2(14)
LOC                                                VARCHAR2(13)
NEW_COL                                            VARCHAR2(8)Rgds.
Didn't see michael's post - it reflects the fix for this problem using CAST.

Modify Script to Create User Role on Single Database.

Hi All,
Below is the script to create user role on database. Here problem is when I execute this script, it creates user role for all database within an instance and I want it to create user role only on 2 database say TEST1 and TEST2
Can anyone help me to modify the script?
--===================================================================================
-- Description
-- Database Type: MSSQL
-- This script creates a role called 'gdmmonitor' for ALL databases.
-- It grants some system catalogs to this role to allow Classification and Assessment on the database.
-- It then adds a user called "sqlguard" to all databases and grants this user gdmmonitor role.
-- before runnign this script
-- you MUST CREATE A SQL LOGIN CALLED 'sqlguard'
-- This sqlguard login doesn't need to be added to any database or given
-- any privilege. The script will take care of that.
-- Note:
-- If you wish to use a different login name (instead of 'sqlguard') you need to change
-- the value of the variable '@Guardium_user' in the script below;
-- (Look for the string: "set @Guardium_user = 'sqlguard'" and replace the 'sqlguard')
-- after runnign this script
-- Nothing to do, the script already creates the db user
-- User/Password to use
-- User: sqlguard (or any other name, if changed)

How to import a table from another oracle database ?

Hi all ,
i could like to use pl/sql to import one table from another oracle database server ?
is it possible to do this ?
A server B server
table: test <------------------------> table : newtest
the tns profile already configurated . the connection is ready .
thanks a lot !
Best Regards,
Carlos

if i don't have TEST table on server B whether COPY command will create this table on server B with the same structure ? If you specify CREATE as a clause the table will be created:
SQL> help copy
COPY
COPY copies data from a query to a table in a local or remote
database. COPY supports CHAR, DATE, LONG, NUMBER and VARCHAR2.
COPY {FROM database | TO database | FROM database TO database}
            APPENDCREATE|INSERT|REPLACE} destination_table
            [(column, column, column, ...)] USING query
where database has the following syntax:
     username[password]@connect_identifier

Insert Image to table from a Non Database Field

Hallo,
db- 9i EE R2
forms - 6i R2
OS - W2003
I have a requirement to upload Images to the database from forms.
I planned to keep the transaction data and the Images separately in different tables with a reference.
So, I created the Image field (BLOB) with a Non Database Field in the Form and use a button to upload the Image. (using READ_IMAGE_FILE).
I tried to insert the Image to the Actual Image table in PRE-INSERT Trigger at block level.
But I was not able to Insert the using reference method. (Cannot compile the PRE-INSERT)
INSERT INTO IMAGE_TB (ID,IMAGE)
VALUES (IMAGE_SEQ.NEXTVAL, :ITINERARY_MAP.IMAGE);
So, Please help me to insert a image to different table from a Non Database Field?
Thanks

I don't think it will work with a non-db-item. But you could create a separate block based on your image_tb-table, use read_image_file on the then db-based-column and then simpy issue a commit_form.

Error message "CREATE TABLE permission denied in database 'master'"

I am starting an application and I get the error message above. I do not want to creat tables in the master database - therefore I created my own database and added it to the Connection string:
DATABASE=TEST
But still the same message.

Hi,
As said you have created the new database and want create a table. Please make sure you are connecting to the right database. If you are unable to get the connection string of the newly created database, please go to the management portal and click
on the newly created database and click on dashboard to get the connection strings for the database. Then you can add the same information from where you are trying to create table with the database name to proceed further.
It seems that you are connecting to master instead of connect against your new database that you have created. Once you connect to your database you will need permission to create tables. If you are "dbmanager" role you should not have any problem
to create it.
Hope this helps you.

Illustrator script to create symbols from images in folder

Time to give back to the community...
Here is a script I recently devised to bulk create symbols from images in a folder. Tested with Illustrator CC 2014.
// Import Folder's Files as Symbols - Illustrator CC script

// Author     : Oscar Rines (oscarrines (at) gmail.com)

How to delete/drop all the tables from SQL Server Database without using Enterprise Manager?

How to delete/drop all the tables from SQL Server Database without using Enterprise Manager?
I tried using DROP Tables, Truncate Database, Delete and many more but it is not working. I want to delete all tables using Query Analyzer, i.e. through SQL Query.
Please help me out in this concern.

Informative thread indeed. Wish I saw it early enough. Managed to come up with the code below before I saw this thread.
declare @TTName Table

[status] int
default 0);
with AvailableTables
(TableSchemaTableName)
as
(select
QUOTENAME(TABLE_SCHEMA)

QUOTENAME(TABLE_NAME)
from
INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLES)
insert into @TTName
(TableSchemaTableName)
select *
from AvailableTables
declare @TableSchemaTableName varchar
(500)
declare @sqlstatement nvarchar
(1000)
while 1=1
begin
set @sqlstatement
=
'DROP TABLE '
+ @TableSchemaTableName
exec

@sqlstatement
print

= 0
break

Not able to create XML from an existing relational database

Hi,
I am trying to create and xml from an existing relational database. I am not able to get any XML data, I receive "XMLTYPE()" as the result.
Here's the query -
SQL> select o.order_id, XMLELEMENT("order", XMLATTRIBUTES(o.order_id as ID)) AS "result" from order_
info o where order_id=2793;
ORDER_ID
result()
+2793+
XMLTYPE()
I was expecting to get +<order id=2793 />+ instead of XMLTYPE().
I am using -
SQLPlus: Release 9.0.1.0.1*
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
I have also run some checks to confirm XML DB installation -
SQL> select 1 from all_users where username = 'XDB';
+1+
+1+
SQL> desc RESOURCE_VIEW;
Name                                      Null?    Type
RES                                                SYS.XMLTYPE
ANY_PATH                                           VARCHAR2(4000)
RESID                                              RAW(16)
I think, I have something wrong with installation or configuration.
Any idea about what have I done wrong here?

Works fine now. Got the result "<order ID="2793"></order>".
Thanks. :-)

hi
what are the apps version local and remote database???
Snapshot too old errors occur because Oracle can 't reconstruct a consistent
image of a block for the purposes of a consistent read.
I feel at remote database, you are using UNDO, it will be rather easy to iincrease the undo retention time or increase the undo tablespace size.. if you are dealing with roll back segments, you may have rollback segments whose optimal values are too small...
increase roll back segments size and select again then
the following metalink notes might be helpful

How to see DDL script(create table) from view

i want to view create table script(DDL command)
can u suggest me any view for that.

Hi
There's no view where the DDL statement is directly available. It must be reconstructed from many views...
If you use 9i the simpler way to do that is with DBMS_METADATA. Below and example....

SQL> SELECT dbms_metadata.get_ddl('TABLE','EMP') FROM dual;
DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TABLE','EMP')
