Synonyms in sqlloader

Hi,
I am new to Oracle development.
Can we use SYNONYMS instead of tables in sqlloader ctl file?
I just want to know (if there is any) other than tables that we can use to import data with sqlloader.
Thanks.

Hello,
Yes you can use SYNONYM but it must specify a local Table only. Else, you'll have the following error:
Error:     LDR 606
Text:     Object %s in INTO TABLE clause is not a local table
Cause:     The synonym specified in the INTO TABLE clause in the SQL*Loader
     control file specifies a remote object via a database link. Only a
     synonym for an existing local table can be specified in the INTO TABLE
     clause.
Action:     Ensure that a local table name or a synonym for a local table is fully
     specified in the INTO TABLE clause. The table must already exist.Hope this help.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin

  • Updating a table from two nodes simultaneously using sqlloader- Issues..

    Hi,
    I have a two node RAC. I have a table called PARTS1, has an PK+Index on PART column, Again this has a sequence. Now I am loading data on PARTS1 table using sqlloader from both nodes at the same time. What issues will come?
    Since one column of this table has a PK+Sequence+Index, there will be a contention issue with the block while updating records.. am I right? What other isues might appear here?
    Thanks in advance,

  • SQLLOADER PERMISSIONS

    Hi Guys,
    I4m trying to use a SQLLOADER in a table. This user that m need to use is not owner of this table.
    I don4t know what grants this user need to use SQLLOADER.
    Thanks for all

    U need to have been granted insert priv on the table in question. You may have to create a private synonym in your local schema for the table, so that you may not need to prefix the tablename with owner name. that is scott.emp.
    I hope this helps.

  • AWM: Can not see the synonyms in the mappings pane

    Hi, using the AWM 11.2.0.1.0A, in the mappings pane under the item Synonyms does not appear any synonyms although there are some of them (private synonyms) in the user's scheme.
    Any hint?
    Thanks.

    I just tried this in 11.2.0.1 and the synonym showed up in AWM. I ran the following (in the sample GLOBAL schema)
    create synonym prod_table for product_dim;
    Note that product_dim is a table in the GLOBAL schema, and I ran the above statement as GLOBAL.
    I then attached AWM as GLOBAL and saw prod_table show up in the synonyms folder of the mappings pane. What are you doing that is different from this?

  • How can I access a database remote without using dblink, synonyms,aliases?

    My store procedure access a remote tables using dblink, synonyms, alias, but by business company requirenments I nedd to use another data base access method. My PL/SQL statement looks like

    If you want to access a table in a remote database using SQL, you will need a database link. It would be exceptionally odd for the business to require that you access a remote database and to prohibit the use of database links. What is the business reason for that combination?
    If you want to look into rather more esoteric solutions, you could load a JDBC driver for the remote database, write a Java stored procedure that queries the remote table using that JDBC driver, and then cobble together some PL/SQL that joins the two result sets. You won't be able to reference the remote table in SQL and the solution won't scale well as data volumes increase and you'll be writing a whole lot of code to manually join tables together, but it does avoid database links. Of course, whatever concerns lead to the ban on database links would probably apply to loading a JDBC driver into the database and writing Java stored procedures to access the remote database, but since you haven't explained the reasoning behind the restrictions, we're just guessing.

  • SQL Developer "Locks-Up" when Expanding Synonym Folder

    It appears that every time I try and expand the Synonyms folder for a database user with many synonyms (hundreds?) SQL Developer hangs. If I try and stop the loading synonyms by cancelling the task (View Task Progress -> Cancel), the "Loading" process continues, the database connection is locked, and I can't close SQL Developer (short of killing the application via Task Manager). To re-create the issue, try connecting to an eBusiness Suite database as APPS and expand the Synonyms folder. Is this a know issue, it seems like an obvious bug?

    Hi,
    You are correct, this is an obvious bug -- at least for connections to a remote database. I logged an internal bug for this:
    Bug 12842181 - CANCEL ON PUBLIC SYNONYMS QUERY FOR REMOTE DB CAUSES HANG
    A similar old bug is:
    Bug 6618400 - CANCEL ON PUBLIC SYNONYMS QUERY HAS NO EFFECT.
    Perhaps the reason this bad behavior hasn't gotten more attention is the existence of the 'Apply Filter...' feature available in the context menu for all object nodes. Filtering has progressed far beyond the state commented about in this old forum post:

  • How create synonym for more than one user

    Hi,
    In a DB I have more than one schema. For example:
    1) User1 has these tables:
    Menu
    Employes
    Zipcode
    Billing etc..
    2) User2 has only the a personalized table Menu
    3) User3 has only the a personalized table Menu
    How can enable User2, User3 and other to use the tables Employes, Zipcode, Billing etc. of schema User1 ?
    I think with synonyms. Can You help to write a script in order to create this ?
    I hope in Your Help.
    Thank You and Best Regards.
    Gaetano

    Hi Gaetano,
    If I understand your requirement correctly User2, User3 and other users should be able to access tables owned by User1. If that's the case, synonyms won't help at all.
    Read up any English dictionary and you'll understand what a synonym is.
    What you need to do (as User1) is: GRANT the appropriate privilege (SELECT, UPDATE...) on the tables to the other users.
    Oh, btw: what is a 'personalized table Menu'? I never heard that.

  • How to use synonyms on multiple word search ?

    We use context with multiword search like this one :
    select * from my_table where contains(my_text,'the small building near the river')>0
    Now we have specific synonyms in a thesaurus. How do we write the contains clause ?
    contains(my_text,'syn(the,thes) and syn(small,thes) and syn(building,thes) and syn(near,thes) and syn (river,thes)')>0 does not fin the synonym for "small building"="house" for instance
    contains(my_text,'syn(the small building near the river,thes)')>0 does only for synonyms on the full sentence.
    More generally is there an Oracle Document which describes how to use SYN, FUZZY and combine them, since
    the reference documentation gives only limited information on this ?
    Have a nice day

    The thesaurus functionality is not currently built for stuff like this.
    if you want to combine fuzzy and thesaurus, I am assuming you want to do fuzzy first, to correct any misspelling,
    then thesaurus on the "corrected" spellings? You'd have to do something like:
    1. take the query and run ctx_query.explain to break it down and do the fuzzy expansion
    2. work through the fuzzy expansion and build a new query string by sticking SYN() around each
    expanded word
    As for thesaurus expansion and phrase, these are not compatible. Thesaurus expansions use "," and "|", and so
    you cannot have a phrase of thesaurus expansions.
    I see what you're getting at, but you would need sub phrase detection, phrase equivalence, etc., which is
    currently beyond the thesaurus function capability.
    You can use themes (ABOUT) on phrases, and it will do something like what you are describing. You might want
    to check that out.

  • How to create materialized view based on a synonym

    Hi all,
    I am trying to create simple materialized view based on a synonym and that synonym is pointing a view in other database (using dblink). I am getting table or view not found error . I am able to select synonym if i use select but not in materialized view. Please help me.
    Thanks,

    The best way to do this is to create a materialzed view based on the underlying code of the original view. If you don't have this handy, issue the following in sqlplus:
    select text
    from user_views
    where view_name = 'NAME_OF_VIEW'
    You can then cut and paste the sql statement into your create materialized view statement.
    Please note, you will probable have to set the long parameter to a higher value to reveal the complete statement for example:
    SQL> set long 2048

  • Create a public synonym for a db link - "Connection desccriptor not found".

    I want to create a public synonym for a db link.
    The existing db link name is tst.world ( which is in db links table and is working fine).
    I created the following db link using the following command:
    create public synonym "syn.world" for "tst.world";
    It created the synonym successfully.
    If I try the following, it throws error "Connection desccriptor not found".
    select * from [email protected];
    It says "Connection desccriptor not found".
    Any suggestions.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Well then, lookup the Documentation on the CREATE SYNONYM statement in the SQL Language Reference manual.
    The documentation lists the types of objects which you can create synonyms for.
    You can create synonyms for objects referenced across DBLinks.
    You cannot create synonyms for DBLinks.

  • Creating a foreign key constraint on a synonym of table in another schema.

    Hi,
    I am having two user operapps and oper
    owner of table po_vendors is operapps ,i have created a synonym in oper with select permission.
    now i am trying to create a foreign key.
    ALTER TABLE OPS_BR_VENDORS ADD ( FOREIGN KEY (VENDOR_ID) REFERENCES PO_VENDORS (VENDOR_ID));
    the bolded po_vendors is the synonym for the table po_vendors in operapps.
    i am getting the below error message.
    SQL> ALTER TABLE OPS_BR_VENDORS ADD ( FOREIGN KEY (VENDOR_ID) REFERENCES PO_VENDORS (VENDOR_ID));
    ALTER TABLE OPS_BR_VENDORS ADD ( FOREIGN KEY (VENDOR_ID) REFERENCES PO_VENDORS (VENDOR_ID))
    ERROR at line 1:
    ORA-01031: insufficient privileges.
    i have given dba privileges to oper user.
    Please advice.

    1) You cannot create a constraint on a synonym. You have to specify a physical table (i.e. OPERAPPS.PO_VENDORS)
    2) The owner of the OPS_BR_VENDORS table will need to have the REFERENCES permission on the PO_VENDORS table granted directly (not via a role).

  • Retrieve data from a synonym in oracle database through db connect

    Hi Everyone,
    I have created certain synonym for some tables in oracle. I want to retrieve data from it through db connect but where through source system and then selecting database tables, only tables and views are available.
    Synonyms are not available to create data sources and retrieve the data from it. Why is it so. Is this a limitation of db connect.
    Can anyone please let me know about it.
    Thanks,
    Joshua.

    Hi,
    You want to import data from an external Oracle database into your BW 3.X. To do this, you can connect the external database to the BW 3.X release as a source system using the external database connect. BW 3.X here represents BW 3.0, BW 3.1 and BW 3.5 because in other (DB relevant) parts, all 3 versions are based on the same source code.
    General information
    The above function allows you to load data from an external Oracle database (not a BW database) into your BW 3.0 system.
    There may also be constellations which cannot be used directly through the DB Connect access. However, it should be possible to find an adequate, customer-specific solution for most of these scenarios.
    In such situations, the resulting work falls into the area of Consulting and cannot be handled via Support.
    Successful implementation of a connection requires corresponding expertise and experience in the use of the source database in the areas:
                    - Tools
                    - SQL syntax
                    - DB-specific functions
    Corresponding knowledge of the source application is also required to ensure that semantically relevant data arrives in the BW system.
    Procedure
    You should execute the following steps to connect the source system (Q) to the BW system (BW):
    Installing the client software on an BW application server
                         Of course, you only need to install the client software if you are using BW with a non-Oracle database.
                         Use the Oracle setup program on the database CD (runInstaller on Unix) to start the OracleInstaller. Follow the program instructions and the DB installation instructions to install the Oracle Client software on BW.
    Testing connection setup from BW to Q
                         After you install the client software on BW, try to set up a connection from BW to the server on Q. You may need to adjust the tnsnames.ora or sqlnet.ora files for this, to introduce the Oracle systems (to which contact should be made) to BW. You can test the connection by executing the command "tnsping QDB" on BW to check whether the client has established contact to the QDB database on the Q system.
    Creating a separate U user in Q
                         We recommend that you create a separate U user in Q for connection to BW. This means that authorization and administration questions can be solved centrally.
    Displaying data sources in Q for the U user
                         To provide U data for users other than U, you can create views on other user tables as user U:
                         CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW viewname AS
                           SELECT * FROM QDB.tablename
                         You may have to grant SELECT privileges to user U in the QDB schema:
                            GRANT select ON QDB.tablename TO U
                         Of course, you can also restrict or reformat data in the view arrangement (for example, change from internal date format into the SAP date format). JOIN operations using several tables are also available.
                         !!! Synonyms do not yet work!!!
                         Synonyms that you can create as described below are another option for providing a complete table for the user U:
                           CREATE SYNONYM synoname FOR QDB.tablename
                         !!! Synonyms do not (yet) work!!!
                         After you have displayed the require data for user U, you can simply use
                           SELECT * FROM <view or table>
                         on the Q system to check which data is returned.
                         You can now open a link to Q as user U in the BW system with SQLPLUS and check, using the same SELECT, whether this data is also seen in the Oracle client. If this is not the case, there is probably a connection problem.
    Creating a connection from BW to Q in BW
    Including data sources of user U user in Q in BW.
    Solution
    Supported BW, Basis and BW 3.0B database versions, Basis 6.20 Support Package 2 (or higher)
          Oracle 8.1 (or higher, see below)
    Possible problems
    - Synonyms do not (yet) work!
    Up to now, only tables and views have been used as data sources for the DB Connect from the R3 Basis. As soon as synonyms are also used in the Basis, you will be able to convert created views (or even replicated tables) to synonyms as a workaround.
    With Basis 6.40 at the earliest, therefore as of BW 3.5, you will also be able to use synonyms. Until then, the following will help:
      CREATE VIEW <view_on_synonym> AS SELECT * FROM <synonym>
    - The source DB must have at least the release version of the BW DB.
    Oracle only ensures the support of client-server links if the version of the client is not higher than that of the server. So if BW has Oracle version 8.1 and, as in the case of Dbconnect, is run as a client against the server of the source database, the source database must have at least release Oracle 8.1 or higher.
    Of course, you have the option to install the Oracle client software of a lower version and then use this for the DB connect. This is also the procedure used to work with a DB connect on external databases of other vendors.
    Furthermore, the implementation of the DBconnect function in BW uses SAP Basis functions. Specifications of Oracle 8.1 database catalogs are used here. The source database must therefore have at least Version 8.1.
    - Oracle Client Software Version
    If you want to connect from an Oracle BW DB to an Oracle source DB, for the DB connect you naturally use the client software that you already installed on each application server.
    If you want to connect from a non-Oracle BW DB to an Oracle source DB, check item 3 of note 521230 to see which Oracle client software version is released with your BW R3 kernel and use this version.
    - Date and time fields in Oracle and their conversion into SAP-compatible column formats
    Example with a DATE field:
    Since a SAP table does not have a DATE field (date values are NUMC(8) and time specifications are NUMC(6)), we will use the Oracle DBA_TABLES system table as an example.
        SQL> desc dba_tables;
    The Oracle DBA_TABLES system table has a LAST_ANALYZED field. This is a DATE type field and is recognized as a date field of 7 characters by DBA_CONNECT. However, the import does not work because the DATE is a 7-byte conglomerate of "...century, year, month, date, hour, minute and second." (extract from the Oracle documentation).
    To make this DATE field legible for DB connect, you must use the TO_CHAR function in a VIEW. This should display the following examples:
    SQL> select LAST_ANALYZED from dba_tables
          where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
    The formatting used here is the default used implicitly by SQLPLUS.
    SQL> select  to_char(LAST_ANALYZED,'YYYYMMDD') as dat from dba_tables where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
    The result now has the SAP compatible format YYYYMMDD and should be loaded correctly by the DB connect as a date.
    SQL> select  to_char(LAST_ANALYZED,'HH24MISS') as tim from dba_tables where table_name like 'RS%' and rownum < 10 ;
    The result now has the SAP compatible format HHMMSS and should be loaded correctly by the DB connect as a time.
    You can use the following example for more detailed experiments:
    SQL> select  to_char(
           TO_DATE('03-FEB-2001 04:05:06','DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),
           'YY-MM-DD HH24-MI-SS') as datim from dual;
    with the result:
      DATIM
      01-02-03 04-05-06
    When you create a VIEW and use the TO_CHAR function (or other functions), you should easily be able to avoid problems with the interpretation of date/time specifications (and other reformatting).
    Details about the functions and the formats are contained in the Oracle documentation.
    - Special characters
    A words that contain special characters can only be imported correctly if the code pages in BW and in the source system are identical. If the code pages are not the same, DB Connect can be used if the characters to be imported appear under the first 127 characters of the character set.
    The use of multibyte code pages in the source system for saving data using character sets with more than 256 characters (Kanji, Katakana, Hiragana, Korean, Chinese, Tagalog, Khmer, Arabic, Cherokee, and so on) can cause the characters to become corrupt.
    For questions concerning the code pages, also refer to the FAQ note 606359 and question/answer 19 that appears there.
