SUM on XMLTable Column Causes Parallel Query to Not Work

I have the following query that creates an XMLTable out of an xml document and is then used to aggregate data from the document.
My problem is that when I try to SUM the XMLTable return column I am unable to use Parallel processing, yet when I remove the SUM from the return column Parallel processing works as expected. Can anyone shed some light on what the problem may be?
One note: I am applying a larger query than the following to hundreds of millions of records so parallel processing is definitely desired/needed.
The Query:
SELECT     /*+ full(n) parallel(n,8) */
     x451s30 as "XYZ"
     --SUM(x451s30) as "XYZ"
FROM NADS n,
     metas met,
     XMLTable(XMLNAMESPACES('http://fbi.gov/cjis/N-DEx' as "p1"),
          '/*' PASSING n.DATA_INTERNAL
          COLUMNS
               x451s30 NUMBER PATH 'count(/p1:DataItem/Person[Role = "Arrest Subject"]/Name/LastName)') T7
WHERE STATUS_ID=1
AND NAT_SOURCE_ID=0
AND OWNING_ORI like 'ABC123'
and n.id=met.nads_id and met.type_id=1 and met.val='Arrest Report';

After adding the no_xml_query_rewrite hint I get the PX Coordinator back and parallel processing is enabled; however, this comes at a significant performance impact (query takes 2-3 times longer). It currently appears that Parallel is not worth the cost of loosing the xml query rewrite unless a different indexing scheme can make up the difference.
Apparently the issue was the optimizer rewriting the xml query in the XMLTable which was causing Parallel processing to not be used.
For those interested, the full query is now as follows:
SELECT /*+ full(n) parallel(n,8) no_xml_query_rewrite */

XMLTable join causes parallel query not to work

We have a large table, a column stores xml data as binary xmltype storage, and XMLTABLE query is used to extract the data.
If we just need to extract data into a column, and the data has no relation with other data columns, XMLTABLE query is super fast.
Once the data has parent -> children relationship with other columns, the query becomes extremely slow. From the query plan, we could observe that the parallel execution is gone.
I can reproduce the problem with the following scripts:
1. Test scripts to setup
=============================
-- Test table
drop table test_xml;
CREATE table test_xml
( period date,
xml_content xmltype)

enable storage in row
nocache
nologging
chunk 8K
parallel
compress;
-- Populate test_xml table with some records for testing
insert into test_xml (period, xml_content)
select sysdate, xmltype('<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>

Chris,
There are several areas in your code which needed changes.
1. On the field name for your temp table you had spaces.
2. The SAP table name ODLN, OPCH, PCH1 had to be fully referenced like
[dbo].[ODLN]
3. You really need not have ## in front of your temp table, it could just be #
The select at the end is actually what causes the most problem as for some reason from within SAP it does not produce the result. I would suggest you put the whole code into a Stored Procedure and call the SP from SAP. Corrected SQL below. If you remove the Select line at the end the query would work with in SAP, but keep it give give you an error. SP is the best option for this.
DECLARE @date DATE
DECLARE @delrows INT
DECLARE @delquan INT
DECLARE @a INT
DECLARE @recrows INT
DECLARE @recquan INT
SET @a=0
IF object_id('tempdb..#tab') IS NOT NULL

Excel 2010 MS Query is not working

Hi, I am in the process of upgrading all my Excel 2003 spreadsheets to Excel 2010. I am running into problem with the MS Query. Spreadsheets have MS Query linking to MS database. However, when I open some of the spreadsheets, the MS Query
is not working ie. the blue circle keeps turning and then not responding. It is very weird that this MS Query is working fine with some spreadsheets but not couple and they are all linking to the same database except a small different in criteria. I
tried to re-create the Query in the spreadsheet in Excel 2010 by going to Data>From Other Sources>From Microsoft Query and select the database. Once I set up the criteria and click Return data, the Query gets stuck.
Please help! Any comments/suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
There are many possible causes that can crash MSQuery in Excel 2010.
First, please make sure we have installed the latest Office 2010 and Windows patches.
Second, Please read the Blog, it explains one typical crash scenario.
=====
AppName: msqry32.exe AppVer: 14.0.4750.1000 ModName: msvcr90.dll
There are several possible resolution you can try to resolve the above crash:
1. When you launch MS Query, just disable the option "Validate queries before saving or returning data", this is the fifth box in the options menu.
The only problem is that if you have made any mistake in your query, you'll only be noticed when receiving the data in excel.
2. Repair all the keys into registry at the following place:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC]
For example:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ODBC\ODBC.INI\ODBC]
"TraceFile"="C:\\DOCUME~1\\...USERNAME...\\IMPOST~1\\Temp\\SQL.LOG"
"TraceDll"="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\odbctrac.dll"
http://blogs.technet.com/b/asiasupp/archive/2011/11/07/msquery-randomly-crashed.aspx
=====
Third, start the Excel 2010 with
safe mode, it helps us confirm if some add-ins cause this issue.
Hope it's helpful.

Select query is not working in BDC Program

Hi,
I am working in BDC for update valuation class for T-code mm01.Actually In this BDC i am using two recoding based on material type.
i am using two internal table : I_DATA and ITAB
Use I_DATA to hold excle data in which material No, plant , valuation type , valuation No. and ITAB for material No, material type Only.
So, i am fetching material Type ( MARA-MTART ) through select query. But Select query is not working. and also i did check MARA table according that Material Number then material no. exit in Mara Table.
Note : at run time I_DATA have 1 row but ITAB have 0 row ....
DATA: BEGIN OF I_DATA OCCURS 0,
MATNR TYPE MARA-MATNR,
WERKS TYPE MARC-WERKS,
BWTAR TYPE RMMG1-BWTAR,
VERPR TYPE BMMH1-VERPR,
BKLAS TYPE MBEW-BKLAS,
STATUS TYPE C,
END OF I_DATA.
DATA : BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
MATNR LIKE MARA-MATNR,
MTART LIKE MARA-MTART,
END OF ITAB.
Loop at I_DATA.
select matnr mtart from mara into table itab where matnr = I_DATA-matnr.
endloop.
Guide me..........

If you use your
Loop at I_DATA.
select matnr mtart from mara into table itab
    where matnr = I_DATA-matnr.
endloop.
At end of loop, itab will only contain the result of the last select, so use a
Loop at I_DATA.
select matnr mtart from mara APPENDING table itab
    where matnr = I_DATA-matnr.
endloop.
better
if I_DATA[] is not initial.
select matnr mtart from mara into table itab
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN i_data where matnr = i_data-matnr.
endif.
Some Remarks
- If actually required (where does I_DATA come from, is it an external format, you need the internal value to use in SELECT statement), check via SE11 the correct [conversion exit|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/35/26b217afab52b9e10000009b38f974/content.htm] associated with domain MATNR (Is it truly ALPHA, and not something like MATN1, so [CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?query=conversion_exit_matn1_input])
- You could try to use BAPI like [BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?query=bapi_material_savedata] and not BDC

Using parameters in a select query sometimes not working

I use parameters throughout my code - usually without problem, but for some reason in one case it does not return a result. When I modify the querystring to contain the value instead of using parameters it works. Is it because I'm secting a clob? or is it because I'm using a 9i ODP.net dll against a 10g database? this is c# 2.0
here's the source code that does not work for me - REQUEST_DATA is a clob:
    public String loadRequest(String PSRNumber)
        String returnVal = null;
        ConnectionStringSettings connectionInfo = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["Scribe"];
        OracleConnection myConnection = new OracleConnection();
        String strSQL = "select PSR, REQUEST_DATA from stats.request where PSR = :PSR";
        try
            myConnection.ConnectionString = connectionInfo.ConnectionString;
            OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand(strSQL, myConnection);
            cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
            cmd.Parameters.Add("PSR", OracleDbType.Varchar2).Value = PSRNumber;
            myConnection.Open();
            OracleDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
            if (dr.Read())
                returnVal = dr.GetOracleString(dr.GetOrdinal("REQUEST_DATA")).ToString();
            else
                returnVal = null;
            dr.Dispose();
            cmd.Dispose();
        catch (OracleException ex)
            printError(ex.Message);
        finally
            myConnection.Close();
            myConnection.Dispose();
        return returnVal;
    }when I replace the line generating the sql, and remove the lines pertaining to parameters it works:
String strSQL = String.Format("select PSR, REQUEST_DATA from stats.request where PSR = {0}", PSRNumber);
I'm fine just using this as a workaround, but I need an explanation why the other does not work - I prefer to use parameters.

I figured it out. thank you for your help in pointing me in the right direction.
the problem was there was a trailing space in the data.
when the data for that table is numeric for every record, the query allows me to leave out the single quotes. Trailing spaces do not seem to cause the database to see it as non-numeric - leaving out the quote still finds the record even if there is a trailing space.
but when I put in the quote, it is not an exact string match, so it could not find the record. sometimes this flexibility gets me into trouble :\

Characteristic "Master Data" setting in Query definition not working?

Hi,
I am having a problem with a query definition. (BI 7.0)
The query comprises the following definition which relate to displaying Milestone dates for respective projects in a time series so the dates are populated in the correct column in a time series:
Filter
Project Definition = Fixed Single Project Definition
Fiscal Year Variant = K4
Project Profit Centre = Hierarchy Node
Project Plant = Fixed Single Value
Free Chars
Network
Network Activity
Activity Element
Rows
Project Plant
Project Profit Centre (With hierarchy)
Project Definition
Milestone Type (Setting in characteristic to pick up Master Data)
CSR Relevant    (Setting in characteristic to pick up Master Data)
      Structure
           Actual
           Scheduled
    (Actual: Value type = Actual, Origin = Manual ,Event = Start)
    (Scheduled: Value type = Actual, Origin = Scheduled ,Event = Start)
Columns
Key Figure structure of 12 key figures in a time series
Selection
Key Figure = Date
Fiscal Year/Period = Current Fiscal Year / Period (SAP EXIT) (With Offset 1 to 12)
FYI
When I run the above it comes back correctly. However when I add "MILESTONE" (Characteristic setting (Posted Values) to the Query Definition immediately after the "Milestone Type" and before CSR it does not work it just is hanging for a considerable time.
I am not using "Master Data" for the "Access Type for Result Vales" for the additional characteristic "MILESTONE" just "Posted Values".
I was expecting that it would just show all Milestone types as per Master Data but just the Milestones that are posted for this result.
I would appreciate a solution to this issue and an explanation to why it hangs when I add the "MILESTONE" characteristic to the definition as explained above.
Thanks in advance..
Stevo

Hello there,
Putting Milestone in the rows in the query definition is not being hang there (i.e., while creating and saving the query) right?
It is stucked while executing the query isn't it so?
That's because you have too many records to be desaggregated by milestone characteristic, and this is indepently of posted values in the characteristic settings.
Putting milestone characteristic in the free characteristics will allow you to run the query, but desaggregate it (add it to the rows) will be to much information to read from your dataprovider (this is just a guess).
If it is being stucked in query execution whike milestone is in the rows. Try this for example:
Add milestone to the free chars. Execute the query. Filter milestone characteristic while still in the free rows and choose a value that you are pretty sure has the smallest records in the Dataprovider (could be for example value #). Than drill down milestone to the rows. You'll see that it can be executed without any problem.

Degree in parallel hint is not working properly.

Hi Experts,
I am using the following delete statement.
delete /*+ parallel(t,30) */ from master_header t;
Sometimes the degree 30 is not working.
On what basis we have to give the degree.
Is the degree is session specific?
To use this hint we need to follow any guidelines or check list.
Please help me.
Thanks.

does your system have the capacity to have multiple parallel queries with 30 processes running concurrently? (like a Sun 6900 with 48-dual core processors or something. A little 8cpu box will not be able to handle this. That is why it is called a "hint". While you can "hint" in a query, the CBO can (and in this case will) ignore it and will reduce the parallel degree to what it sees the system can handle. It tries to keep developers from doing stupid stuff.

The syntax is wrong.It should be: > update S_ISS_OBJ_ATTR set DEFAULT_VAL = (....)This will however set all values ( all rows) of that column to the same value. I don't know if that is your intention.Edit: Regaring the JOIN and the OR's the query will probably still not work, because the SELECt will most probably return more than one value HTH,FJFrankenMy Blog: http://managingoracle.blogspot.comEdited by: fjfranken on 20-jul-2010 2:42

Execute Query is not working

hi all,
In my when-new-form-instance form level trigger i have given go_block('blockname')
execute_query
but this execute query is not firing .when i checked using message i was able to reach line b4 and after the execute query but still it has not populated the data from the base table.
the base table also contains records.
when i run this particular fmx in the similliar but differnt database this form runs well and data gets populated automatically.
i am unable to move fwd becouse of this i have spend many hours on this issue. please help me out.
please write for any further clarifications..
thanks and regards,

There is no data on the table that satisfies the query. Copy the data from the database that does return data and try again. Are you looking at the correct table, it maybe a synonym issue as someone previously mentioned.
A trick to see the select statement is this :- Press enter_query, enter :A into one of the query fields, press enter_query. A query box should appear. Type dog=1 and click ok. You will then get an error message (FRM-40505). Choose 'Display error' of the help menu (or Shift+F1). This will display the select statement. Obviously ignore the dog=1 as this is what caused the error but look at the where clause for clues.
It does sound like the form is looking at at different table to you.
