Swapping synonyms between tow tables every week

Hi AIl,
I have two tables, A and B. I need to switch loading these tables. If we load A today, the following
week we would have to load B.
There is a public synonym "C" that sits on top of these two tables.
1) To Find out which table is in use right now..
SELECT *
FROM ALL_SYNONYMS
WHERE SYNONYM_NAME = "C"
2) Truncate opposite table/Drop opposite table
3) Load data into opposite table
4) Validate by doing a count * on the table to check the rows loaded.
5) Finally, switch synonym
Can this be achieved using shell script or PL/SQL?
Please advice.A little eheadstart would be great.

Speaking about partition exchange googling with partition exchange will give you plenty of results and some of the first 10 even contain examples with syntax etc.
Speaking of possible gap after base table truncate and before finish of data loading - actually this is question to you - are you ready to accept the fact that there will be time gap (as long as your data load runs) without any data in your base table and without possibility to get correct results out of it? With partition exchange and synonym swap this gap decreases to absolute minimum and most probably is only theoretical. Also keep in mind that partition exchange needs licenced Enterprise Edition and Partitioning option. This could be quite $$$ consuming.
Speaking about another approaches it is not clear what you do not understand? Probably you can clarify.

Syncronization the data between tow tables

hii
i have two database database 1 and database 2 the both database have table citizen(citizen_ssn, citizen_name ) with the same structure
ok ,
and i create database link from database 1 to database 2 (link name : link1 )
and i create another link fro database 2 to database 1 (link name :link2 )
i want to synchronize data between the two tables
in other word i want when new record add to database1 go to database2 and check if that recrod exist(use citizen_ssn) or not if it exist then add the record only in database1
if not add the record in database1 and database2,
and if there is record inserted in database 2 i will go to database1 and check if it exist if it exist add the record in database2 if not add it in database1 and database2
can i do that in real time or not .
thank you ..........

i think it will be the same senario
after insert in database 1 go to database 2 and then the befor insert trigger will fire
and check if the citizenssn is in the table or not
if not then insert the record
and the trigger in database 2 after insert will fire and go to batabase 1 to insert the same record and in database 1 the befor insert trigger will fire and so on
the same infinity loop

Entourage User Account Diables Itself Every Week or So

Running Mail Service on Apple OS X server package 10.4.4 (problem also was on 10.4.3) we have two customers whose log in account becomes disabled every week or so, as though they had made too many erroneous attempts to log in. We reset their account, and they're good to connect for a few more days, then they contact us to say they can't log in, we check the workgroup manager and, sure enough, the log in permission has disabled itself.
Anyone else seeing this? They are also Mac users, too. They thought they "needed" the features of Entourage. No other email customers using this mail server are complaining at all, although probably no others are using Microsoft Entourage.
We're pretty suspicious this is an issue between Microsoft Entourage and the Open Directory. Occasionally we see one of these users logged in twice at the same time on the server connected users monitor screen.

Here is the error I get, if it helps.

Continuation: need data grouped for every week

SELECT * FROM aetnah_file_emp_cust_hist
WHERE pctl_employee_seqnum= 133774This query returns too many rows.
Now my requirement is that I need to get the most recent contrib_amt from this table for every week based on date column CTL_INS_DTTM.
This column CTL_INS_DTTM stores data about when a row wass inserted into this table.
pctl_employee_seqnum CTL_INS_DTTM(MM/DD/YYYY) contrib_amt
133774 01/01/2009 100
133774 01/02/2009 200
133774 01/03/2009 300
133774 01/04/2009 400
133774 01/05/2009 500
133774 01/06/2009
133774 01/07/2009 700
133774 01/08/2009 800
133774 01/10/2009 900
133774 01/12/2009 1000
133774 01/13/2009 1100
133774 01/14/2009 1200
I will need 52 columns (1 year = 52 weeks) totally and the most recent data for each week.
Ex:
Desired output:
01/07/2009 01/14/2009 01/21/2009 01/28/2009
700 1200 NULL 200
SELECT pctl_employee_seqnum, CTL_INS_DTTM, contrib_amt
FROM (
          SELECT pctl_employee_seqnum, CTL_INS_DTTM, contrib_amt, ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY TO_CHAR(CTL_INS_DTTM, 'WMONYYYY')ORDER BY CTL_INS_DTTM DESC) RNO
            FROM aetnah_file_emp_cust_hist
           WHERE pctl_employee_seqnum= 133774
WHERE rno = 1This code above is doing that but I need to transpose this row wise data into column wise as mentioned on Desired output.
Total # of columns:52
Apologize for opening a new thread.....please help on this transpose issue
Thank You All

Hi,
TO_CHAR (ctl_ins_dttm, 'WMONYYYY') will result in 59 or 60 groups per year, since all months (except February in common years) have (incomplete) 5th weeks.
If you want 52 equal-sized groups, then TO_CHAR (ctl_ins_dttm, 'WWYYYY') will get you closer. (You'll still have an incomplete week 53.)
To pivot those rows into one column, you can do something like:
SELECT MAX (CASE WHEN TO_CHAR (ctl_ins_dttm, 'WW') = '01' THEN contrib_amt END)   AS week_01
,       MAX (CASE WHEN TO_CHAR (ctl_ins_dttm, 'WW') = '02' THEN contrib_amt END)   AS week_02
,       MAX (CASE WHEN TO_CHAR (ctl_ins_dttm, 'WW') = '03' THEN contrib_amt END)   AS week_03
,       ...If you want data (like "01/07/2009") as the columns headers, then you'll have to use dynamic SQL.

Loading Organizational Plan every week

Hi Experts-
The client is trying to sync up the Organizational plan (Org units, positions and relationships) from external system. We currently have a plan but want to delete it and start syncing up with the external system.
Question I have is-
1. Is there a way to delete the existing plan (all org units, positions & relations) in one step?
2. What happens to deleted object IDs? Are they gone from the system? Can I use the same object ID numbers again?
3. We are planning to do a full load every week. That means we delete what we have and load full again. Is this a good approach? What are the issues with it?
4. Is there a tcode to find out where (which workflows) the org units are being used?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Yes, you may use transaction RE_RHRHDL00 (Delete DB records). You just need to specify the correct evaluation path (depends on which organizational object are being used in your plan), such as ORGCHART, or even you may create a custom evaluation path.
Yes, after you delete organizational objects they are deleted from the Infotypes tables and you may use their IDs again.
To my opiion - NO! This is not such a wise approach. First - I assume that your OM and PA systems are integrated and the deletion may cause a mess. Moreover, the OM system is integrated with many other components, such Workflow and this has to be considered as well. There are so many issues to think about, such as: what happens if the deletion of some objects fails.... What happens if not all object will be loaded back to the system...
Org, Units may be included within the WF schema and as part of a Responsibility Rules (transaction OOCU_RESP).
My advise to you is to consider different alternative.

Difference between DESCRIBE TABLE..... and SY-DBCNT

Hi,
i want to know the difference between DESCRIBE TABLE.. command and SY-DBCNT.

hi
good
SY-DBCNT->
SY-DBCNT gives the number of records in database table
After an open SQL statement, the system field sy-dbcnt contains the number of database lines processed.
REPORT ychatest.
DATA : v_matnr LIKE mara-matnr.
SELECT matnr FROM mara INTO v_matnr UP TO 1 ROWS.
ENDSELECT.
WRITE : sy-dbcnt.
DESCRIBE->
DESCRIBE LIST
The DESCRIBE LIST statement allows you to import certain list attributes, such as the number of lines or pages, into program variables.
you need to know the attributes of list levels that were not stored in system variables during list creation, you can use the DESCRIBE LISTstatement.
To retrieve the number of lines or pages of a list, use:
DESCRIBE LIST NUMBER OF LINES|PAGES n ...
To get the page number of a particular line number, use:
DESCRIBE LIST LINE lin PAGE pag ...
To get the properties of a particular page, use:
DESCRIBE LIST PAGE pag ...
Use DESCRIBE LIST for completed lists only, since for lists in creation (index is sy-lsind) some properties are not up to date.

Difference between Temp table and Variable table and which one is better performance wise?

Hello,
Anyone could you explain What is difference between Temp Table (#, ##) and Variable table (DECLARE @V TABLE (EMP_ID INT)) ?
Which one is recommended to use for better performance?
also Is it possible to create CLUSTER and NONCLUSTER Index on Variable table?
In my case: 1-2 days transactional data are more than 3-4 Millions. I tried using both # and table variable and found table variable is faster.
Is that Table variable using Memory or Disk space?
Thanks Shiven:) If Answer is Helpful, Please Vote

Check following link to see differences b/w TempTable & TableVariable: http://sqlwithmanoj.com/2010/05/15/temporary-tables-vs-table-variables/
TempTables & TableVariables both use memory & tempDB in similar manner, check this blog post: http://sqlwithmanoj.com/2010/07/20/table-variables-are-not-stored-in-memory-but-in-tempdb/
Performance wise if you are dealing with millions of records then TempTable is ideal, as you can create explicit indexes on top of them. But if there are less records then TableVariables are good suited.
On Tables Variable explicit index are not allowed, if you define a PK column, then a Clustered Index will be created automatically.
But it also depends upon specific scenarios you are dealing with , can you share it?

How do I unsubscribe from subscription VIP in the game StarMaker? every week, I removed 66 rubles, while I'm there not even sit, and how do I unsubscribe don't know, please help

Contact the maker of the app. Apple has nothing to do with subscriptions to third party apps.

I generally back up and restore my iphone every week... and this time i backed it up..and i can see that backup time and file size.. now.. when i try to restore my iphone.. i select the back up and now it is taking forever to restore. help me

i generally back up and restore my phone every week.. just that i dont have any problem with the network issues. !!
today at 00:46 1st june.. i backed up my iphone and it was perfect...
when i try to restore it.. it is taking 15+ hours .. and that time stays like that for almost 3 hours... it does not happen.
i even called the apple help center. and they said me to install as a new device... and when i said what wil happen to my messages.. they say .. they wont stay.. and wil be deleted.. and all my apps i need to download again..
but earlier i din need to do any of it.!!! it worked really fine .!!!
please help me..!!! i got some important details in this back up.... please help me.!!!

Once in a while the restore process seems to mess up. What I don't understand is why you would perform a weekly restore.
At any rate, if you must restore, perform a device reset (settings>general>reset) and then you will have the opportunity to restore from iCloud. Restore a device whenever it no longer works correctly, not just as a matter of maintenance. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

I don't understandwhy i need to buy a new charger cable for my iphone 5 every week. why can't you make a normal cable, that doesn't stop working? i csn't spend so much money on buying new cablesall the time.

these cable are so delicate that after one week of use they break down. i can't spend all my money on buying them. moreover, last week it broke down on saturday eve so i was stuck untill tuseday without a phone.
i have to say that this compan is so rude, and it took me like an hour to sign in and write this complain, and i'm not even sure if it's the right place to wright this sort of things.
apple's customer service is the wort customer service in the world.

I don't understand why you need to buy a new one every week. I've had my iPhnoe 5 for almost a year, never had a problem with the cable. In addition, your phone is can't be more than a year old. Therefore, unless you're damaging them, your cable is under warranty and Apple will replace it. Perhaps you should have tried actually availing yourself of Apple's customer service before complaining about it.
Best of luck.

I suspect that the fields having subtype 3 just before the garbled columns is a clue, but not sure what to replace with or adjust.
Any and all help mighty appreciated.

Worthwhile suggestion, just having difficulty applying.
I will tinker with it more. But still open to more suggestions.

How do i find difference of data between 2 tables & insert a flag based on

I got a situation like.
My application is connecting to different database and getting data to our schema
using dblink.That data is stored into a temporary table.Every day a nightly job is executed and stores the latest data into temp table .we compare the data in temp table with master table.If it is new record insert into master,if the record does not exists delete it,if the record is modified update.
This is taking too long in production.
My idea is
First iam getting all data into temp table.temp table data is compared with master and getting only modified data(mismatch)into another temp table.i want to insert a flag like I for insert,d for delete and u fro update to this temp while comparing only.
please give some tips to resolve this issue.
or give me the best solution to improve its performance.
Thanks in advance
Looking forwrd to hear an immediate response

How do you compare two records? Is it by comparing only PK or UK fields or all the fields? The solution comparing PK's or UK's
TEMP_TBL table - tid is the PK
MASTER table - mid is the PK
update TEMP_TBL set flag='N';
update(select a.flag from TEMP_TBL a, MASTER b where a.tid=b.mid)
set a.flag='Y';
update(select a.flag from TEMP_TBL a, MASTER b where a.tid=b.mid(+) and a.flag='N') set a.flag='I';
-- Compare fields other than PK.
-- Update flag
update(select a.flag from TEMP_TBL a, MASTER b where a.tid=b.mid(+) and a.flag='N' and a.col1<>b.col1) set a.flag='U';

Insertion of data between 2 tables ( 1 to * relationship )

Hi all, I am new to Oracle ADF, I have a problem with the insertion of data between 2 tables (Table A and Table B), I have the ratio 1 to *, and I need to insert data in table B (* Relationship) when insert in Table A all goes well, but when inserted in Table B, I need the primary key value in Table A () in the value field in table B that is as foreign key.
Ie
Value Table A
coda = 20 -> primary key
Table B values
1 set of values
val_1,
val_2,
val_3,
coda = 20 -> need this value is constant up to do a Commit.
set of values 2
val_1,
val_2,
val_3,
coda = 20 -> need this value is constant up to do a Commit.
How I can do it?
thanks

I was wrong, because the relationship 1 to * between tables A and B, I was writing the groovy expression in each table, in this case in Table B (A.codSolicitude), but now I notice that within the DataControls, but specifically in the control data of Table A, there is a relationship between the board B, and I thought to insert into the related table that appears as a master/detail, and first inset in table A and then in Table B in the same page master/detail, and A.CodSolicitude value is automatically filled in Table B, and performed the Commit and everything works. !
Thanks for you help.
Now if you can give me some examples with images that are on the web similar to this problem would be great:) Thanks!

Keep hp 6700 in good shape: automatic print quality diagnostic page every week?

Hi all,
I've recently bought the HP Officejet 6700 Premium, and I'm concerned about keeping it in good condition, since I had to replace my previous canon printer because of a stuck printhead (the photo black one, I didn't used it for a long time).
Since I don't print much (but I'm using the ADF scanner a lot), and other family members prints sporadically, most of the time in black and white, I would like to setup an the printer to automatically print a diagnostic page every week to make sure everything is alright.
Using eprint, IFTTT and google calendar I could automatically send a file to print (I already set up the printer to wake up a few minutes before the calendar event) with black and color bars (someone suggest to print the google homepage since it has many colors but uses little ink).
Is there any chance I can directly print the print quality diagnostic page (so I can fully diagnose a problem if it occurs)?
Thanks for the attention
Cheers from Italy!

Hey,
To clarify for you and answer your new questions on the printers self maintenance.
The maintenance cycle occurs randomly. It will occur after any power up, after print jobs(not every one) and any time it "think's" printhead health is poor. As mentioned above the printer to does have to be powered on for this to occur.
You can if you'd like still print off the odd test page just to check, once a month would be adaquet.
If you want to be saving power and are turning it off, then you would want it to be at least powering on and running the automated service that occurs weekly.
I hope this clarifies everything for you. Thanks for your posts.
I worked on behalf of HP.
