Selecting string from all the tables in databse

Hi All,
I need a help in finding the data from all the database tables at one time using single query.
For e.g. I wanna search a string 'ABC' in all the database tables for a schema.
I want to find out,which all tables (in either of its columns) contain this string strored inside themselves.
For brand name changing,I need to find out all the tables and in turn all the columns containing that string where databse consisting of 1000 tables.
Could anyone suggest me some option for this?Is it possible to avoid this tedious task to search individual table?

Why is it necessary to search every column? Does your data model permit the brand name to be stored in any column?
Whatever.
I suggest starting with dba_tab_columns (where owner = 'WHATEVER') and look for those tables/columns that could possibly hold the brand name. You can eliminate NUMBER and DATE columns and VARCHAR columns that are too short.
Spool that out to another script where each select statement is like this:
SELECT 'TABLE_NAME.COLUMN_NAME', column_name
FROM table_name
WHERE UPPER(COLUMN_NAME) LIKE '%BRAND NAME%'
AND rownum = 1;

Select data from all the table names in the view

Hi,
"I have some tables with names T_SRI_MMYYYY in my database.
I created a view ,Say "Summary_View" for all the table names
with "T_SRI_%".
Now i want to select data from all the tables in the view
Summary_View.
How can i do that ? Please throw some light on the same?
Thanks and Regards
Srinivas Chebolu

Srinivas,
There are a couple of things that I am unsure of here.
Firstly, does your view definition say something like ...
Select ...
From "T_SRI_%"
If so, it is not valid. Oracle won't allow this.
The second thing is that your naming convention for the
tables suggests to me that each table is the same except
that they store data for different time periods. This would be
a very bad design methodology. You should have a single
table with an extra column to state what period is referred to,
although you can partition it into segments for each period if
appropriate.
Apologies if i am misinterpreting your question, but perhaps
you could post your view definition and table definitions
here.

How to write select query for all the user tables in database

Can any one tell me how to select the columns from all the user tables in a database
Here I had 3columns as input...
1.phone no
2.memberid
3.sub no.
I have to select call time,record,agn from all the tables in a database...all database tables have the same column names but some may have additional columns..
Eg: select call time, record,agn from ah_t_table where phone no= 6186759765,memberid=j34563298
Query has to execute not only for this table but for all user tables in the database..all tables will start with ah_t
I am trying for this query since 30days...
Help me please....any kind of help is appreciated.....

Starting in Oracle 10, you can also use Q-notation:

...and also can you tell me how to execute the output of this script. What front end are you using? If it's SQL*Plus, then you can SPOOL the query to a file, and then execute that file, like this:
-- Suppress SQL*Plus features that interfere with raw output
SET     FEEDBACK     OFF
SET     PAGESIZE     0
-- Run preliminary query to generate main query
SPOOL     c:\my_sql_dir\all_ah_t.sql

Pondered,
The question you are asking is the same one that you asked in: http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=132508#M132508, to which I supplied a revised version of the original vi you used (which was modified from the original one I supplied to an earlier thread). A couple of questions: 1) What does my latest not do that is in your question, 2) Why are you starting yet another thread about the same problem? We are here trying to help, it makes it a lot easier if you keep the same problem in the same thread, it reduces duplication of effort from those that might not have been following the previous thread(s). Those of us that don't have our "names in blue" are just doing this "for fun" (the blue names are NI employees, who may still be doing it "for fun"), and it makes it more fun if it doesn't seem (correctly or not) that our attempts are ignored. If an answer doesn't help, or seems incomplete, post a little more detail to the same thread so that the original respondent, or someone new, can provide more information, or understand your problem better.

Problem while displaying all the table names from a MS Access Data Source.

I started preparing a small Database application. I want to display all the Table Names which are in the 'MS Access' Data Source.
I started to executing by "Select * from Tab" as if in SQL.
But i got an error saying that "Not able to resolve Symbol 'Tab' in the query".
Please let me know how can i display all the table Names in the MS Access Dats Source.

Here i am developing the application in Swing using JDBC for accessing the database.
I want to display all the Table names from the data source in a ListBox for easy selection of tables to view their details.

How to move all the tables from one tablespace to other for a whole schema

Hi,
Is there any way to move all the tables in a schema from one tablespace to other?
If so please help me out to do that.
Thanks
Regards
Gatha

hi,
here is the steps to move SCOTT's objects from their current tablespace to a NEW_TABLESPACE
would be:
1) do an export of all of scott's objects. Make sure no one modifies them after you
begin this process. You will lose these changes if they do.
$ exp userid=scott/tiger owner=scott
2) you would drop all of scotts tables. This will get the indexes as well. I don't
suggest dropping the user SCOTT but rather dropping scott's objects. Dropping scott
would cause any system priveleges SCOTT has to disappear and the import would not restore
them. This script can be used to drop someones tables:
set heading off
set feedback off
set verify off
set echo off
spool tmp.sql
select 'drop table &1..' || table_name || ' cascade constraints;'
from dba_tables
where owner = upper('&1')
spool off
@tmp.sql
3) You would modify the user to not have unlimited tablespace (else the IMP will just
put the objects right back into the tablespace they came from) and then give them
unlimited quota's on the new tablespace you want the objects to go into and on their
temporary tablespace (for the sorts the index creates will do)
alter user SCOTT default tablespace NEW_TABLESPACE
revoke unlimited tablespace from SCOTT
alter user SCOTT quota unlimited on NEW_TABLESPACE
alter user SCOTT quota unlimited on SCOTTS_TEMPORARY_TABLESPACE
4) you will IMP the data back in for that user. IMP will rewrite the create statements
to use the users default tablespace when it discovers that it cannot create the objects
in their original tablespace. Please make sure to review the file imp.log after you do
this for any and all errors after you import.
imp userid=scott/tiger full=y ignore=y log=imp.log
5) you can optionally restore 'unlimited tablespace' to this user (or not). If you do
not, this user can only create objects in this new tablespace and temp (which in itself
is not a bad thing)...

Preventing select-string from adding additional undesired strings in the output file

Hi friends
in PS 4.0 i am trying to write a function which
step1: export the list of all eventlogs ----> wevtutil el > "$home\documents\\loglist1.txt"
step2: deleted the following two lines from loglist1.txt
DebugChannel
Microsoft-RMS-MSIPC
( the reeson of deleting these two lines is wevtutil cl command, can't clear these two evenlogs among approximately 1000 logs)
in fact via select-string with -pattern -notmatch parameters, we select anything except these two line
step3: pastes the select-string contents into the same file ("$home\documents\loglist1.txt") or into new text file (for example
"$home\documents\loglist2.txt")
here is my code:
function MycleareventsAll {
cls
Wevtutil el > "$home\documents\loglist1.txt"
$mycontents = select-string "$home\documents\loglist1.txt" -pattern DebugChannel, Microsoft-RMS-MSIPC -NotMatch
cd "$home\documents\"
$mycontents | out-file loglist2.txt"
# also i tried ---> $mycontents | set-content "loglist2.txt"# also i tried ---> $mycontents | set-content "loglist1.txt"
but the problem is, in addition of deletion, unfortunatelly additional strings (filepath, filename, line number) are added into the final text file so wevtutil will fail clearing logs listed in text file.
here is contents of the final text file
C:\Users\Administrator\documents\loglist.txt:1:Analytic
C:\Users\Administrator\documents\loglist.txt:2:Application
C:\Users\Administrator\documents\loglist.txt:4:DirectShowFilterGraph
but i need the contents be the same as original file without that two specific line:
Analytic
Application
DirectShowFilterGraph
i searched but i didn't find a way to prevent select-string cmdlet from adding these edditional strings
(filepath, filename, line number) into output file while keeping the original contents.
note: -quiet parameter is not what i want. it removes all contents & simply inserts a true or false.
any help?

don't forget that Guys here know the basics of security such as clearing event logs & ...
how odd if you don't know this.
clearing all events is useful in test environment for example when i ma teaching my students & need to see all newly created events & work on them
Then you are teching your students how not to use an event log. We use filters and queries to access event logs. We also use event log CmdLets in PowerShell. WEVTUTIL is ok but it does not marry wellwith PowerShell as you have seen.
I have found very few people who are not certified in WIndows administration that know much about eventlogs when it should be a ver important part of administration. PowerShell has mmade EL management much easier but few take the time to learn how
to use the EL support in PowerShell.
I see no point inclearing event logs. It accomplishes nothing.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
oh your are introducing me filters & queries in event viewer !! please stop Laughing me this way.
your problem is you judge about people's knowledge & you persist on your absurd judgments.
look at your sentence:
"Then you are teaching your students how not to use an event log"
where from you tell this? have you been present in my classes to see what i teach to my students?
have you seen that i told to my students not to use event viewer?
my goal of clearing events is related to myself. it's non of your businesses.
people are not interested to here concurrent irrelevant advises from you like a grandmother. they are searching for a solution. their intent of doing tasks is not up to you.

How to generate test data for all the tables in oracle

I am planning to use plsql to generate the test data in all the tables in schema, schema name is given as input parameters, min records in master table, min records in child table. data should be consistent in the columns which are used for constraints i.e. using same column value..
planning to implement something like
execute sp_schema_data_gen (schemaname, minrecinmstrtbl, minrecsforchildtable);
schemaname = owner,
minrecinmstrtbl= minimum records to insert into each parent table,
minrecsforchildtable = minimum records to enter into each child table of a each master table;
all_tables where owner= schemaname;
all_tab_columns and all_constrains - where owner =schemaname;
using dbms_random pkg.
is anyone have better idea to do this.. is this functionality already there in oracle db?

Ah, damorgan, data, test data, metadata and table-driven processes. Love the stuff!
There are two approaches you can take with this. I'll mention both and then ask which
one you think you would find most useful for your requirements.
One approach I would call the generic bottom-up approach which is the one I think you
are referring to.
This system is a generic test data generator. It isn't designed to generate data for any
particular existing table or application but is the general case solution.
Building on damorgan's advice define the basic hierarchy: table collection, tables, data; so start at the data level.
1. Identify/document the data types that you need to support. Start small (NUMBER, VARCHAR2, DATE) and add as you go along
2. For each data type identify the functionality and attributes that you need. For instance for VARCHAR2
a. min length - the minimum length to generate
b. max length - the maximum length
c. prefix - a prefix for the generated data; e.g. for an address field you might want a 'add1' prefix
d. suffix - a suffix for the generated data; see prefix
e. whether to generate NULLs
3. For NUMBER you will probably want at least precision and scale but might want minimum and maximum values or even min/max precision,
min/max scale.
4. store the attribute combinations in Oracle tables
5. build functionality for each data type that can create the range and type of data that you need. These functions should take parameters that can be used to control the attributes and the amount of data generated.
6. At the table level you will need business rules that control how the different columns of the table relate to each other. For example, for ADDRESS information your business rule might be that ADDRESS1, CITY, STATE, ZIP are required and ADDRESS2 is optional.
7. Add table-level processes, driven by the saved metadata, that can generate data at the record level by leveraging the data type functionality you have built previously.
8. Then add the metadata, business rules and functionality to control the TABLE-TO-TABLE relationships; that is, the data model. You need the same DETPNO values in the SCOTT.EMP table that exist in the SCOTT.DEPT table.
The second approach I have used more often. I would it call the top-down approach and I use
it when test data is needed for an existing system. The main use case here is to avoid
having to copy production data to QA, TEST or DEV environments.
QA people want to test with data that they are familiar with: names, companies, code values.
I've found they aren't often fond of random character strings for names of things.
The second approach I use for mature systems where there is already plenty of data to choose from.
It involves selecting subsets of data from each of the existing tables and saving that data in a
set of test tables. This data can then be used for regression testing and for automated unit testing of
existing functionality and functionality that is being developed.
QA can use data they are already familiar with and can test the application (GUI?) interface on that
data to see if they get the expected changes.
For each table to be tested (e.g. DEPT) I create two test system tables. A BEFORE table and an EXPECTED table.
1. DEPT_TEST_BEFORE
     This table has all EMP table columns and a TEST_CASE column.
     It holds EMP-image rows for each test case that show the row as it should look BEFORE the
     test for that test case is performed.
     CREATE TABLE DEPT_TEST_BEFORE
     TESTCASE NUMBER,
     DEPTNO NUMBER(2),
     DNAME VARCHAR2(14 BYTE),
     LOC VARCHAR2(13 BYTE)
2. DEPT_TEST_EXPECTED
     This table also has all EMP table columns and a TEST_CASE column.
     It holds EMP-image rows for each test case that show the row as it should look AFTER the
     test for that test case is performed.
Each of these tables are a mirror image of the actual application table with one new column
added that contains a value representing the TESTCASE_NUMBER.
To create test case #3 identify or create the DEPT records you want to use for test case #3.
Insert these records into DEPT_TEST_BEFORE:
     INSERT INTO DEPT_TEST_BEFORE
     SELECT 3, D.* FROM DEPT D where DEPNO = 20
Insert records for test case #3 into DEPT_TEST_EXPECTED that show the rows as they should
look after test #3 is run. For example, if test #3 creates one new record add all the
records fro the BEFORE data set and add a new one for the new record.
When you want to run TESTCASE_ONE the process is basically (ignore for this illustration that
there is a foreign key betwee DEPT and EMP):
1. delete the records from SCOTT.DEPT that correspond to test case #3 DEPT records.
          DELETE FROM DEPT
          WHERE DEPTNO IN (SELECT DEPTNO FROM DEPT_TEST_BEFORE WHERE TESTCASE = 3);
2. insert the test data set records for SCOTT.DEPT for test case #3.
          INSERT INTO DEPT
          SELECT DEPTNO, DNAME, LOC FROM DEPT_TEST_BEFORE WHERE TESTCASE = 3;
3 perform the test.
4. compare the actual results with the expected results.
     This is done by a function that compares the records in DEPT with the records
     in DEPT_TEST_EXPECTED for test #3.
     I usually store these results in yet another table or just report them out.
5. Report out the differences.
This second approach uses data the users (QA) are already familiar with, is scaleable and
is easy to add new data that meets business requirements.
It is also easy to automatically generate the necessary tables and test setup/breakdown
using a table-driven metadata approach. Adding a new test table is as easy as calling
a stored procedure; the procedure can generate the DDL or create the actual tables needed
for the BEFORE and AFTER snapshots.
The main disadvantage is that existing data will almost never cover the corner cases.
But you can add data for these. By corner cases I mean data that defines the limits
for a data type: a VARCHAR2(30) name field should have at least one test record that
has a name that is 30 characters long.
Which of these approaches makes the most sense for you?

Search in database in all the tables

This is a depressingly common request. Why are there so many shonky undocumented applications out there?
Anyway, the solution for a one-off exercise is this brute force approach. It's not pretty and the performance will be Teh Suck, but it will find the string. If you think that the string might be in more than one column you should remove the EXIT and let the thing grind on for as long as it takes.

/If you have CLOBs and BLOBs you want to check as well then you'll need to run through a second query using CONTAINS(). Implementing that is left as an exercise for the reader.
Note that if you want to do this on a regular basis then you need a completely different, more architectural approach.
