Table with BLOB column re-partitioning

Currently I have a table with a blob column Z partitioned on Column X I want to re-partition the table on Column Y is there a quick way of doing this.
INSERT INTO SELECT * has limitations on the blob size I guess.
Can someone explain this?
Edited by: user10229350 on Mar 1, 2010 7:36 AM

I am using hash partitioning looks like split partition doesn't apply for hash partition:
"The SPLIT PARTITION clause of the ALTER TABLE or ALTER INDEX statement is used to redistribute the contents of a partition into two new partitions. Consider doing this when a partition becomes too large and causes backup, recovery, or maintenance operations to take a long time to complete. You can also use the SPLIT PARTITION clause to redistribute the I/O load.
This clause cannot be used for hash partitions or subpartitions."

Error while importing a table with BLOB column

Hi,
I am having a table with BLOB column. When I export such a table it gets exported correctly, but when I import the same in different schema having different tablespace it throws error

What can I do so that this table gets imported correctly?
Also tell me "whether the BLOB is stored in different tablespace than the default tablespace of the user?"
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
U can either
1) create a tablespace with the same name in destination where you are trying to import.
2) get the ddl of the table, modify the tablespace name to reflect the existing tablespace name in destination and run the ddl in the destination database, and run your import command with option ignore=y--> which will ignore all the create errors.

How to read/write a binary file from/to a table with BLOB column

I have create a table with a column of data type BLOB.
I can read/write an IMAGE file from/to the column of the table using:
READ_IMAGE_FILE
WRITE_IMAGE_FILE
How can I do the same for other binary files, e.g. aaaa.zip?

There is a package procedure dbms_lob.readblobfromfile to read BLOB's from file.
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_lob.htm#sthref3583
To write a BLOB to file you can use a Java procedure (pre Oracle 9i R2) or utl_file.put_raw (there is no dbms_lob.writelobtofile).
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/ask/f?p=4950:8:1559124855641433424::NO::F4950_P8_DISPLAYID,F4950_P8_CRITERIA:6379798216275

Sample insert into table with BLOB column

This is my first opportunity to work with BLOB columns. I was wondering if anyone had some sample code that shows the loading of a blob column and inserted into the table with a blob column.
I have to produce a report (including crlf) and place it into a blob column. The user will download the report at a later time.
Any suggestions / code samples are greatly appreciated!!!!

You can enable string binding in TopLink.
login.useStringBinding(int size);
or you could enable binding in general,
login.bindAllParameters();

How to know exact size of table with blob column

I have a table with one BLOB column. I ran this query.
select bytes/1024/1024 from user_segments where segment_name='GMSSP_REQUEST_TEMP_FILES'
(user_segments is a view)
it gave me 0.125
It means size of table is 0.125. I have uploaded 3 files to this table. Each of them is of 5 mb. After that I check size of table. but result was same. i.e 0.125.
Can any body tell me how to know exact amount of space consumed by files. I am expecting following result
size should be (5+5+5+0.125)MB
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Calculate size of table with BLOB column

Hello,
when trying to calculate the occupied space for a table, I'm using DBA_SEGMENTS, which works fine as long as the table does not have a BLOB column.
As far as I can tell, the size of the BLOB data is stored with the SEGMENT_TYPE = 'LOBSEGMENT', but I cannot find a view that tells me which DBA_SEGMENT row belongs to the BLOB column in the table I'm checking.
To give you an example:
select sum(BYTES)
from DBA_SEGMENTS
where owner = user
and segment_name = 'MY_TABLE'
group by SEGMENT_NAMEreturns 262144
running:
SELECT sum(length(blob_column))
FROM my_tablereturns 821333
There are entries in DBA_SEGMENTS for my user with the type LOBSEGMENT, but I cannot find a way to map the correct DBA_SEGMENTS row to the table I am checking.
Any ideas?
I'm using Oracle 10.2.0.3.0 on Redhat
Thanks in advance

Uploading a file (.doc, .xls, .txt) into an Oracle table with BLOB column

Hello All :
I have been trying to figure out for a simple code I can use in my JSP to upload a file (of any format) into an Oracle table with a BLOB column type. I have gone through a lot of existing forums but couldnot find a simple code (that doesnot use Servlet, for eg.) to implement this piece.
Thanks a lot for your help !!

Hi.
First of all to put a file into Oracle you need to get the array of bytes byte[] for that file. For this use for example FileInputStream.
After you get the byte array try to use this code:
        try {
            Connection conn = myGetDBConnection();
            PreparedStatement pstmt = conn.prepareStatement("INSERT INTO table1 (content) VALUES(?)");
            byte[] content = myGetFileAsBytes();
            if (content != null) {
                pstmt.setBinaryStream(0, new ByteArrayInputStream(content), content.length);
            pstmt.close();
            conn.close();
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }or instead of using ByteArrayInputStream try pstmt.setBinaryStream(0, new FileInputStream(yourFile), getFileSize());Hope this will help...

ORA-03237 when creating table with BLOB columns on Oracle 9i

I am playing with my new Oracle 9i database. I am trying to copy
tables from my 8.1.6 db. Three tables won't create due to this
new message. The 9i documentation says it's soemthing to do with
freelist groups but my DBA says he hasn't set up any.
The tablespace is one of these newfangled locally managed
tablespaces (predetermined size 8k).
I can create these tables if I change the BLOB column to datatype
VARCHAR2(4000).
I have raised this through the usual channels, but I thought I'd
try this site as well.
Cheers, APC

Migrating a table with BLOB column from one db to another

Hello everybody,
I have two databases D1 and D2. Each database contains table T1 (same structure in both databases). T has a BLOB column and is populated in D1. I have to move all the data from T database D1 into T database D2.
D1 and D2 are located on different machines. T in D1 is a huge table (milions of records). What is the best solution to migrate the T data between the 2 databases?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

Depending on the version of the database you have, you could use transportable tablespaces.

Import table with BLOB Column

hi
I would like to export table "A" containing data in BLOB column and then import the same table into another user's table "B".
i got the following error
ORA-06502PL/SQL: numeric or value error

When you export from one user's table A to another user table B. you should have privilege to import from the user X.
Do this
exp system/password file=filename.dmp log=filename.log tables=A owner=X
exp scott/tiger file=emp.dmp tables=(emp,dept)
imp scott/tiger file=emp.dmp full=yes
imp system/password file=filename.dmp log=filename1.log fromuser=X touser=Y tables=A
Now table A is imported into Y schema. drop the table B(if you do not need old table B) then rename table A to B.
If you need old data in Table B then generate insert statements for the data and insert them into new table B

Oracle 11.2 - Perform parallel DML on a non partitioned table with LOB column

Hi,
Since I wanted to demonstrate new Oracle 12c enhancements on SecureFiles, I tried to use PDML statements on a non partitioned table with LOB column, in both Oracle 11g and Oracle 12c releases. The Oracle 11.2 SecureFiles and Large Objects Developer's Guide of January 2013 clearly says:
Parallel execution of the following DML operations on tables with LOB columns is supported. These operations run in parallel execution mode only when performed on a partitioned table. DML statements on non-partitioned tables with LOB columns continue to execute in serial execution mode.
INSERT AS SELECT
CREATE TABLE AS SELECT
DELETE
UPDATE
MERGE (conditional UPDATE and INSERT)
Multi-table INSERT
So I created and populated a simple table with a BLOB column:
SQL> CREATE TABLE T1 (A BLOB);
Table created.
Then, I tried to see the execution plan of a parallel DELETE:
SQL> EXPLAIN PLAN FOR

Problem importing a table with blob's

hi all, I'm facing the following situation.
Source DB : 10.2.0.3 (client's DB)
Destination DB (mine): 10.2.0.4
I've a dump file (traditional) of a particular schema.
I'm running import (imp) to import on my DB.
It runs fine until it reaches one particular table. This table has 6 colums, 3 of them are BLOB.
This table has 260000 rows (checked with export log).
When import reaches row 152352 it stops loading data, but import is still running.
what can I do to get more information from this situation in order to solve this problem?
Any suggestion will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Pl identify the source and target OS versions. Are there any useful messages in the alert.log ? How long did the export take ? Rule of thumb states import will take twice as long. Have you tried expdp/impdp instead ? Also see the following -

I can't import a table contains BLOB column from one user to another user.

1) I create two user both have connect role,and each has its own tablespace, DDL:
create user d2zd identified by d2zd default tablespace d2zd quota unlimited on d2zd account unlock;
grant connect to d2zd;
create user d3zd identified by d3zd default tablespace d3zd quota unlimited on d3zd account unlock;
grant connect to d3zd;
2)Then enter oracle as d2zd and create a table contains BLOB column and insert data to the table.
3) export d2zd as follow:
exp d2zd/d2zd file=d2zd.dmp
4) import to d3zd as follow:
imp d3zd/d3zd fromuser=d2zd touser=d3zd file=d2zd.dmp
the question is the table with BOLB colum can't be import,
it says:have no privilege on tablespace d2zd.
How can I import a table contains BLOB column from one user to another user?

Hi - the reason for as our friend already told ist that a blob can be stored outside of the table segment, in another Tablespace, This is for performance reason.
Sou you would need to have Quota on two tablespaces.
the one which holds the table segment the other which holds the blob(segment).

Problem with blob column index created using Oracle Text.

Hi,
I'm running Oracle Database 10g 10.2.0.1.0 standard edition one, on windows server 2003 R2 x64.
I have a table with a blob column which contains pdf document.
Then, I create an index using the following script so that I can do fulltext search using Oracle Text.
CREATE INDEX DMCS.T_DMCS_FILE_DF_FILE_IDX ON DMCS.T_DMCS_FILE
(DF_FILE)
INDEXTYPE IS CTXSYS.CONTEXT
PARAMETERS('DATASTORE CTXSYS.DEFAULT_DATASTORE');
However, the index is not searchable and I check the following tables created by database for my index and found them to be empty as well !!
DR$T_DMCS_FILE_DF_FILE_IDX$I
DR$T_DMCS_FILE_DF_FILE_IDX$K
DR$T_DMCS_FILE_DF_FILE_IDX$N
DR$T_DMCS_FILE_DF_FILE_IDX$R
I wonder what's wrong with it.
My user has been granted the ctx_app role and I have other tables that store plain text which I use Oracle Text are fine. I even output the blob column and save as pdf file and they are fine.
However the database seems like not indexing my blob column although the index can be created without error.
Please advise.
Really appreciate anyone who can help.
Thank you.

The situation is I have already loaded a few pdf document into the table's blob column.
After I create the Oracle text index on this blob column, I find the system generated index tables listed in my earlier posting are empty, except for the 4th table.
Normally we'll see words inside the table where those are the words indexed by oracle text on my document.
As a result, no matter how i search for the index using select statement with contains operator, it will not give me any result.
I feel weird why the blob is not indexed. The content of the blob are actually valid because I tested this by export the content back to pdf and I can still view and search within the pdf.
Regards,
Jap.

When comparing database tables with lob columns via "Database diff" in different environments indexes are shown as different

When using "Database diff" selecting other schemas only for compare own objects are shown too!Hi!
For tables with lob columns (clob, blob, etc.) indexes with system names are automatically created per lob column.
If I am on different database instances (eg. dev/test) these system names can differ and are shown as differences, but these is a false positive.
Unfortunately there is now way to influence the index names.
Any chance to fix this in sql developer?
Best regards
Torsten

Only the Sql Dev team can respond to that question.
Such indexes should ONLY be created by Oracle and should NOT be part of any DDL that you, the user, maintains outside the database since they will be created by Oracle when the table is created and will be named at that time.
It is up to the Sql Dev team to decide whether to deal with that issue and how to deal with it.
