Temporary tables in import

Hi,
i am following the below metalink notes which suggest to export and import first without rows and change the nls_length_semantics from byte to char and import with data.
but i can see around 72 temporary tables created and not delted. does import creates temporary tables? we have not created any idea about this?
313175.1 SCRIPT: Changing columns to CHAR length semantics

of course it is 10.2.0.4 on windows.
it is not bin tables . these are actual tables suffixed with tmp say i have table called employees and i have two tables one is employees and another employeestmp.
now i have actual table AHILFANALYSEZEIT2 but i have AHILFANALYSEZEIT2TMP "the syntax show below from TOAD"
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE AHILFANALYSEZEIT2TMP

Question about temporary tables and imports.

Hello everybody.
Interesting one this. We have an application that uses global temporary tables. We refresh live to test using import of the application schema. I noticed when doing this yesterday that the temporary tables were being recreated in test as perminant rather than temporary.
Is there a reason for this? Has anyone come across this before? Is there a way around it (apart from manual checking)?
Many thanks
Rup

Could you specify how you found out that it is coming in as permanent?
I believe exp/Imp will export and import it is Temporary table. I have just done a simple test to check and it works fine;

Direct Path Loading Issues with Global Temporary Tables - OCI & OCILib

I am writing some code to import data into a warehouse from a CPU grid which computes risk data. Due to the fact a computing grid is used there will be many clients which can load the data concurrently and at any point in time.
Currently the import uses Binding in OCCI and chunking with a prepared statement to import the data into a global temporary table in a staging area after which a stored procedure is called within the same session which will process the data and load the data into a star schema.
The GTT has the advantage that if any clients have issues no dirty data will be left and each client only sees their own instance of the data.
I have been looking at using direct path loading to increase the performance of the load and have written some OCI code to perform the same task. I have manged to import the data into a regular heap based table using the OCI direct path apis. However when I try and use the same code to import against a Global Temporary Table I get an OCI Error (ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [6979], [16], [1], [1318528], [], [], [], [], [], [], [], [])
I get error when the function OCIDirPathPrepare is executed. The same issue occurs in both OCI and OCILib.
Is it not possible to use Direct Path Loading against a Global Temporry Table ? Because you can use the /*+ APPEND */ hint and load global temporary tables this way from tools like SQL Devloper / toad which is surely informing the SQL Engine to use Direct Path ?
Looking at the table USER_OBJECTS I can see that for a Global Temporary Table the DATA_OBJECT_ID is null. Does this mean that it is impossible to us a direct path load into Global Temporary Tables ?
Any ideas / suggestions would be really appreciated. If this means redesigning the application then I would appreciate suggestions which would allow many client to quick write processes in a parallel fashion. If this means creating a new parition in a Heap Table for each writer and direct path loading into this table then so be it.
Thanks
H

Replying to my own message in case anyone else is interested.
I have now managed to successfully load data using direct path into a global temporary table with OCI. There appears to be no reason why this approach will not work.
I loaded data into the temporary table and then issued a select count(*) on the table from within the session and from a new session. The results were as expected.
The resaon for the ORA-006000 error was due to the fact that I had enabled table level parallel loading
ie
OCIAttrSet((dvoid *) context, (ub4) OCI_HTYPE_DIRPATH_CTX, *(ub1) 1*, (ub4)0, (ub4) OCI_ATTR_DIRPATH_PARALLEL, errhp)
When loading a Global Temporary Table the OCI_ATTR_DIRPATH_PARALLEL attribute needs to be zero
This makes sense, since the temp table does not have any partitions so it would not be possible to write in parallel to multiple paritions.

Best to use in terms of tuning Global Temporary table or PLSQL Table type

Hi All,
which one is best to use in terms of tuning Global Temporary table or PLSQL table type?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Deepika

user8828028 wrote:

Thus it is important to understand how these work. They are nothing alike.
PL/SQL collections reside in the PGA. Can only be used in SQL via binding. Cannot be indexed. Temp tables on the other hand does not use expensive PGA. Does not need to be bind in SQL. Can be indexed. Etc.
Sure, a (surgical) saw and scalpel are both used on the operating table - but for very different purposes.

Using Temporary table as a target

when i used real target table the integration works fine but when i used temporary table i got "com.sunopsis.tools.core.exception.SnpsSimpleMessageException: CKM not selected."
I don't know why inspite of being importing the CKM
do any one has any idea about this?

Hi
I have the same problem, and uncheck the option of FLOW CONTROL = NO and still remains error "com.sunopsis.tools.core.exception.SnpsSimpleMessageException: CKM not selected" .. Do you have any idea because I still ticking wrong?

Global Temporary Table (and more)

Hi every one,
here's the scenario:
My database version is Oracle 9i.
I have two Global Temporary Tables (GTT). I want to insert into those two tables (using a SELECT statement for each table) and then to use a SELECT statement to select from the two tables and the result sent to Report Builder 6i.
Now, i guess i could use a Stored Procedure (SP) to insert into those tables and then use a SYS_REFCURSOR to return from this SP. The problem with that is Report Builder 6i does not recognise SYS_REFCURSOR types; it requires actual rows to be returned.
So, my question is:
Is there any way to insert into the two GTT first (using Select statements with Insert) and then select from the two tables, all in a single SELECT statement(In any case, a statement must be present that returns actual rows)?
Additionally, one may run the report more than once (not necessarily after issuing a COMMIT or logging out), which means, the two GTT will be filled again and again. So, i will have to Truncate the GTT every time before Inserting.
Efficiency of the query/solution is very important too as the data involved can consist of up to 2,00,000 records.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank u.

Here is some more detail:
Q1////This statement handles INSERT for one GTT. Data inserted consists of multiple data selected from tables other than POLICY which is used by stored proc MANPOWER (in Q2).
INSERT INTO TEMP1_NewBusiness
SELECT ORG1, ORG2, (SELECT NAME FROM ORGANISER WHERE CODE=ORG1), ...,
FROM POLICY
WHERE DATCOM = '2007';
Q2////This handles INSERT for second GTT
INSERT INTO TEMP2_MANPOWER
SELECT ORG1, MANPOWER(ORG1)
FROM TEMP1_NewBusiness;
/////Table POLICY is a normal table.
MANPOWER is a stored proc which performs a string aggregation, using a cursor, by selecting from TEMP1.NBS. Because of the volume of data involved and the number of Selects, i'm using the GTT TEMP1.NBS as source for Manpower's data.
So, first i need these two statements to be executed so that my GTTs are filled.
Next, i want the result of query below sent to Report Builder.
Q3.
SELECT A.ORG1, A.ORG2, ..., B.MANPOWER
FROM TEMP1.NewBusiness A, TEMP2.MANPOWER B
WHERE A.ORG1 = B.ORG1;
Now, i could place Q3 in the Report, but how do i get Q1 and Q2 to be executed first.
Hope the situation is a little more clear now.
I understand where you are coming from DAMORGAN and duplication is something i want to avoid myself.
Thank u.

Temporary table within a package

I'm not sure this is the best way to achieve it, but I'm trying to use a temporary table within my package, but I failed!
In my package, my procedure do receive 5 different phone numbers (vTel1 to vTel5) and I need to order them, using data from a table. Also, if 2 of them are the same, I need only the one with the highest rank.
Let say my TelOrder table look likes:
Reason
Tel1
Tel2
Tel3
Tel4
Tel5
Reason1
2
3
1
5
4
Reason2
1
2
null
3
4
And I receive those variable
vTel1='5141111111'
vTel2=null
vTel3='5143333333'
vTel4='5141111111'
vTel5='5145555555'
vReason='Reason1'
Using the Reason1, I need to be able to get the result looking like:
RowNum
Phone
Order
1
5143333333
1
2
5141111111
2
3
5145555555
4
And I need this code to be apart from the procedure, cause many procedures will use the same code, and I don't want to abuse the ctrl+c, ctrl+v at each update.
I've come close by using something like:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE '
     INSERT INTO Table
     SELECT Rownum as RN, Ordre, contact_info, Contact_info_type
     FROM
       (SELECT a.contact_info, a.ordre, contact_info_type FROM
         (SELECT contact_info,min(ordre) as Ordre FROM
           (SELECT Tel1 as Ordre, ''' || vTel1 || ''' as contact_info, 1 as contact_info_type FROM TelOrder WHERE Reason=''' || vReason || '''
           UNION ALL
           SELECT Tel2 as Ordre, ''' || vTel2 || ''' as contact_info, 2 as contact_info_type FROM TelOrder WHERE Reason=''' || vReason || '''
           UNION ALL
           SELECT Tel3 as Ordre, ''' || vTel3 || ''' as contact_info, 4 as contact_info_type FROM TelOrder WHERE Reason=''' || vReason || '''
           UNION ALL
           SELECT Tel4 as Ordre, ''' || vTel4 || ''' as contact_info, 4 as contact_info_type FROM TelOrder WHERE Reason=''' || vReason || '''
           UNION ALL
           SELECT Tel5 as Ordre, ''' || vTel5 || ''' as contact_info, 1 as contact_info_type FROM TelOrder WHERE Reason=''' || vReason || '''
         WHERE Ordre is not null and contact_info is not null
         GROUP BY contact_info
         ) a
       JOIN
         (SELECT Tel1 as Ordre, ''' || vTel1 || ''' as contact_info, 1 as contact_info_type FROM TelOrder WHERE Reason=''' || vReason || '''
         UNION ALL
         SELECT Tel2 as Ordre, ''' || vTel2 || ''' as contact_info, 2 as contact_info_type FROM TelOrder WHERE Reason=''' || vReason || '''
         UNION ALL
         SELECT Tel3 as Ordre, ''' || vTel3 || ''' as contact_info, 4 as contact_info_type FROM TelOrder WHERE Reason=''' || vReason || '''
         UNION ALL
         SELECT Tel4 as Ordre, ''' || vTel4 || ''' as contact_info, 4 as contact_info_type FROM TelOrder WHERE Reason=''' || vReason || '''
         UNION ALL
         SELECT Tel5 as Ordre, ''' || vTel5 || ''' as contact_info, 1 as contact_info_type FROM TelOrder WHERE Reason=''' || vReason || '''
         ) b ON a.contact_info=b.contact_info AND a.ordre=b.ordre
       ORDER BY a.Ordre
But when I try to remove this code and send it into another procedure/function, I can't make it work.
PLEASE HELP!!!!

No Database to try it. Check at your own risk if this might work for you

How create temporary table from list of values

Can you anybody advise me how can I create temporary table from list of values? I have list of values and need create temporary table for next use with command JOIN etc.
Thank you for help

NO, you can not create temporary table in oracle on the fly ( Like #Tabels in SQl Server or Sybase ) , you will have to use the GTT i.e Global Temporary Tables
check the following link GTT :
to flush the tables after commit
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE my_temp_table (
column1 NUMBER,
column2 NUMBER
) ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS;In contrast, the ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS clause indicates that rows should be preserved until the end of the session.
so to keep rows in Table after commit
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE my_temp_table (
column1 NUMBER,
column2 NUMBER
) ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS;

Can I get Date also from temporary table?

--(1) get table ONLY
create global temporary table cat1
as select * from category;
--(2) get table and data
create table cat2 as select * from category;
null

Use Index

Report: sorting of data and temporary table sorting

We have a report that runs a procedure, which inserts data into a temporary table using the supplied parameters. The report then selects data from this table.
Previously the report has always displayed data in the same order in which it was inserted into the table, even though no sorting is specified by the report itself. I realize that the report itself ought to specify the sorting in order to guarantee it, but this has worked in the past.
As part of an application/Oracle upgrade the report has been recompiled. Data is now displayed in a different order as before. However, each time we run it now, it IS the same (new) sorting. So it's still consistent, but consistent in a different way than before.
Is there some way to go back to the old sorting (display in same order as inserted into table) - without having to re-code this (and all the other) reports in order to specify the sorting? We think that data is still inserted into the temporary table in the same order as before. We are using the same version of Crystal Reports.
Edited by: user489847 on May 31, 2010 4:01 AM

Crystal Reports.This is the Oracle Reports forum.
Anyway, I have seen this in one of our applications too. Suddenly the ordering was different, because there was no explicit order by. There is never a guarantee of the ordering if you do not specify it.
You should ask this in the database forum too, since this is not really Reports related.

Use of global temporary tables in Procedures

Hi
I am using global temporary tables in the procedures. Loading data in the same table through many procedures. I am fetching the data from the global temporary table in PRO-C by a cursor. Will this degrade performance?
Please help me..
Thanks in Advance...

Will this degrade performance?That depends... in comparison to what?
Loading data into temporary tables will generally be more efficient than loading data into permanent tables because Oracle needs to do less to protect this data since it is inherently transient. On the other hand, loading the data into a table in the first place tends to be more expensive than alternatives like using a single SQL statement, a pipelined table function, or an in memory collection.

How to Use Temporary table on report builder

Hi community!
Well, i'm trying to build a temporary table based report in Oracle Report Builder. in "After Parameter Form Trigger" I've placed a stored procedure that populate a temporary table and I've based my report on it. The problem is Report shows no data. When i execute this procedure directly on database and i perform a select on my temporary table, it show all inserted data.
I hope somebody can to help me because I tried many ways to build this report with my temporary table and always looks blank.

Temporary tables are session specific.
If particular session is closed then no data will be found on your temporary table in an another session.
My suggestion is, on "After parameter form" trigger you directly populate the GTT without using procedure.
Hope this will help.

How to Create a Temporary Table with SQL Server

I know you can create a temporary table in SQL Server 2000, but not quite sure how to do it in CFMX 7, i.e., does the SQL go inside a <CFQUERY dbtype="query"> tag?
I'm pulling the main set of records from an Oracle server (1st data source), but it does not contain employee names, only employee IDs. Since I need to show the employee name along with the Emp ID, I'm then pulling a list of "current" employee names from a SQL Server (2nd data source), which is the main database on our CF server.
I've got a QofQ that works fine, except it only matches EmpIDs that exist in both result sets. Employees who are no longer employed, don't match, and don't display. Since I can't do a LEFT OUTER JOIN with a QofQ, what I need to do is get the records from the Oracle server into the SQL Server. Preferably in a temporary table.
I was hoping if I could get those Oracle records written to a temp table on the main SQL Server, in same database as the Employee Name table, I could then write a normal <CFQUERY> that uses a LEFT OUTER JOIN.
I think I could probably write a Stored Procedure that would execute the SQL to create the temporary table, but am trying to avoid having to write the SP, and do it the simplest way.
This query will be a program that can be run hundreds of times per day, with a form that allows users to select date ranges, locations, and other options. That starts the queries, which creates the report. So I just need the temp table to exist only until all the SQL has run, and the <CFOUTPUT> has generated a report.
If the premise is right, I just need some help with the syntax for creating a SQL Server temp table, when you want to write records to it from an external data source. I'm trying the following, but getting an error:
<CFQUERY name="ITE_Temp" datasource="SkynetSQL">
CREATE TABLE #MyTemp
(   INSERT INTO #MyTemp
ITE2.TrueFile char (7) NOT NULL,
ITE2.CountOfEmployee int NULL,
ITE2.DTL_SUBTOT decimal NULL,
ITE2.EMPTYPE char (3) NULL,
ITE2.ARPT_CD char (3) NULL
</CFQUERY>
So I actually created a permanent table on the SQL Server, and wrote the below SQL, which does work, and does write the records to table. I can then write another CFQUERY with a LEFT OUTER JOIN, and get all the records, including those that don't have matching employee name:
<CFQUERY datasource="SkynetSQL">
<CFLOOP index="i" from="1" to = "#ITE2.RecordCount#">
INSERT INTO ITE_Temp
   (FullFile,
   EmployeeCount,
   DTL_Amount,
   EmployeeType,
   station)
VALUES ('#ITE2.TrueFile[i]#',
   #ITE2.CountOfEmployee[i]#,
   #ITE2.DTL_SUBTOT[i]#,
   '#ITE2.EMPTYPE[i]#',
   '#ITE2.ARPT_CD[i]#')
</CFLOOP>
</CFQUERY>
But, I hate to have to create a table and physically write to it. For one, it seems slower, and doing it in temp would be in memory, and probably much faster, correct? Is there some way to code the above, so that it does something similar, but in a TEMPORARY TABLE?   If I can figure out how to do this, I can pull data from multiple data sources and servers, and using SQL Server temp tables, work with the data as if it was all on the same SQL Server, and do some cool reports.
Everything I've done for the past few years, has all been from data from a single source, whether SQL Server, or another server. Now I need to start writing reports where data can come from 3 or 4 different servers, and be able to do joins (inner and outer). Thanks for any advice/help. Much appreciated.
Gary

While waiting to hear back, I was able to write the query results from an outside Oracle server, to a table on the local SQL Server, and do the LEFT OUTER JOIN required for the final query and report to work. That was with this syntax:
<CFQUERY name="AddTableRecords" datasource="MyTable">
TRUNCATE TABLE ITE_Temp
<CFOUTPUT query="ITE2">
INSERT INTO ITE_Temp
(FullFile,EmployeeCount,DTL_Amount,EmployeeType,station)
VALUES
('#TrueFile#', #CountOfEmployee#, #DTL_SUBTOT#, '#EMPTYPE#', '#ARPT_CD#')
</CFOUTPUT>
</CFQUERY>
However, I was not able to write to a temporary table AND read the results. I got the syntax to run to write the above results to a temporary table. But when I tried to read and output the results from the temp table, I got an error. Also, it wouldn't take the single "#" (local) only the global "##" table var, using this syntax. Note that if I didn't have the DROP TABLE in the beginning, the 2nd time you run this query, you get an error telling you the table already exists.
<CFQUERY name="ITE_Temp2" datasource="MyTable">
DROP TABLE ##MyTemp2
CREATE TABLE ##MyTemp2
FullFile char (7) NOT NULL,
EmployeeCount int NULL,
DTL_Amount decimal NULL,
EmployeeType char (3) NULL,
station char (3) NULL
<CFOUTPUT query="ITE2">
INSERT INTO ##MyTemp2 VALUES
'#ITE2.TrueFile#',
#ITE2.CountOfEmployee#,
#ITE2.DTL_SUBTOT#,
'#ITE2.EMPTYPE#',
'#ITE2.ARPT_CD#'
</CFOUTPUT>
</CFQUERY>
So even though the above works, I could use some help in reading/writing the output. I've tried several things similar to below, but they don't work. It't telling me ITE_Temp2 does not exist. It's not easy to find good examples of creating temporary tables in SQL Server.
<CFQUERY name="QueryTest2" datasource="SkynetSQL">
SELECT *
FROM ITE_Temp2
</CFQUERY>
<CFOUTPUT query="ITE_Temp2">
Output from Temp Table<br>
<p>FullFile: #FullFile#, EmployeeCount: #EmployeeCount#</p>
</CFOUTPUT>
Thanks for any help/advice.

Life time of data in a Global Temporary Table.

Dear Friends,
I have a global temporary table in which I insert some values via a backend package, when forms start up and accessing it via the same package when user performs some changes in it - storing the value and during exit saving it in the master table. My problem is the data is not accessible while processing. I'm using Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.1.0 database and Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.8.0. I also give you the script in using which I created the temporary table.
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE GTT_PRA
A1 VARCHAR2(10 BYTE) NOT NULL,
A2 VARCHAR2(15 BYTE) NOT NULL,
A3 VARCHAR2(10 BYTE) NOT NULL
ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS;
Why is that so? Please help me.
With Regards,
Senthil .A. Perumal.

Dear Arun,
Thank you for your script. But I'm accessing a large table, so for each and every process, the table get populated and grows very large giving some space problem, that is why I'm deleting rows when commiting. I would appreciate your help.
Dear Yogesh,
From the same forms I'm calling the backend package - will that be a different session. Once I'm calling to populate the table and next time I'm calling to store the user modified data and finally calling to store the data to master table. I think all are in the same sessions. Please reply me.
Thank you dear friends fr your immediate response. I would really appreciate it.

How to check the data in a temporary table

Hi,
A procedure inserting data into a temporary table , data exists in the table now. so, how to see the data from the temporary table. Is it possible to see from the sqlplus by selecting, right now i'm not getting any data. .thanks Bcj.

If you are referring to Global Temporary Tables, then the only way to see the contents of the table are to select from the table while connected to the same session that inserted the data into the GTT.
Please note however that there is not a 1 to 1 correspondence between sessions and users (shcemas). A user may be connected to 1 or more sessions, but it is only the session that inserted the records that will be able to view the records.
