Testing a sql query

Hi,
We have MS SQL 2008 and I am creating a query but what I want to do is actually test a query and not affect any records.
I am creating an update query and I want to run it and see how many records will be updated first. So in case there is an error I can make a change. Is there any way to test run the query in SQL management studio to see how many records will change?
Thank you.
Beau

Hello,
Begin tran
update table_name set id=1 where name='Shanky
--rollback
Just make your statement atomic .Like i showed you above dont run rollback until you have checked your data.This wont be affective with huge update

Help with JSTL sql query

i have a query that i want to pass a paramater to the query goes like this
<sql:query var = "user" >
SELECT AMOUNT,flag FROM SAVINGS_ACTIVITY_DETAILS WHERE ACCOUNT_ID =? AND AMOUNT >200000 AND Flag =1 AND ACCOUNT_ACTION_ID =6 AND Treated =0 ORDER BY created_date DESC
<sql:param value="${test.accountId}"/>
</sql:query>
this will give an error on TLD attribute.................and i tested the value with the following code and it worked
<c:set value="${test.accountId}" var="u"/>
<c:out value="${u}"/>
this will print out the value nicely now i need a way to be able to pass this value to the sql query
Thanks

Which version of jstl are you using? == JSTL1.1
However the other two questions remain unanswered.
What server are you using? Version?
How are you importing the tag library?
You can find out the server info with this snippet of a JSP:
Working with server: <%= application.getServerInfo() %><br>
Servlet Specification: <%= application.getMajorVersion() %>.<%= application.getMinorVersion() %> <br>
JSP version: <%= JspFactory.getDefaultFactory().getEngineInfo().getSpecificationVersion() %><br>
Java Version: <%= System.getProperty("java.version") %><br>

Invoking a process to return a SQL query as XML results in empty XML tag (but testing the SQL works)

I have a process that runs a SQL query and returns the results as XML. When I test the query in the Process Properties tab in Workbench it appears to execute just fine. I can also test the XML information and see that the results are coming back correctly. But when I invoke the process I get an emtpy XML tag with no results. Recording the invocation and playing back the recording doesn't tell me anything useful. Has anyone ever seen this issue before? I don't understand why everything within the process seems to bring back results just fine but invoking it returns nothing.

Unfortunately I am not the admin for our LiveCycle instance and do not have access to the server logs (long story). I also am not authorized to share any LCA files for this project. Thanks though.

Hi in my sql query i applied like condition (like '%TEST') but it is taking long time

Hi in my sql query i applied like condition (like '%TEST') but it is taking long time. I applied indexes also,but still i'm facing the same problem. In my databse nearly 2,00,000 records their.

Hi Manikandan
Is there a difference in performance between running the query in BEx and WebI?
have you aggregates in place on the BEx side of things?
When you say its taking too long to open the report, have you a variable screen coming up for the report and is that what is taking the time or is it the report execution.
With regards
Gill

How to test SQL query performance - realiably?

I have certain queries and I want to test which one is faster, and how big is the difference.
How can I do this reliably?
The problem is, when I execute the queries, Oracle does it's caching and execution planning and whatnot, and results of the queries are dependent on the order I execute them.
Example: query A and query B, supposed to return same data.
query A, run 1: 587 seconds
query A, run 2: 509 seconds
query B, run 1: 474 seconds
query B, run 2: 451 seconds
It would seem that A is somewhat faster than B, but if I change the order and execute B before A, results are different.
Also I'm running the queries in SQL Developer, and it only returns 100 first lines, how can I remove this effect and simulate real scenario where all lines are fetched?
I can also use EXPLAIN PLANs and look at the costs but I'm not sure how much I can trust those either. I understand they are only estimations and even if cost(a) = 1.5 * cost (b), b could still end up executing faster in practise due to inaccuracies in the cost calculation....right? EDIT: actually event if cost(a) = 5000 * cost(b), b can still execute faster.....seems like query A's cost is 15836 and B's cost is 3 while A seems to be faster in practise.

I have to say I don't understand your point either :)
What are you saying, that people should not test their SQL performance? That tools such as autotrace are useless?No.. what I'm saying is that you need a baseline to make an informed decision about SQL performance.
What does a 4 second SQL performance mean for query foo ? Nothing really.. wearing my dba cap I would point at that this is actually utterly useless for me to determine the impact of your query on production, or use it to determine how to scale it.
If instead you tell me that is hits that table using an index range scan.. I know what it is doing and have a far better idea what it will do to the production instance.
Thus my questioning this "+elapsed time+" measurement approach. I as a dba cannot use it... and I'm not sure what benefit (wearing my developer hat) you will find from it either.
You can form your SQL queries better or worse, or select your table structure / indexes better or worse. Some choices may end up executing orders of magnitude slower than others. Obviously you can't get exact measurements "this query executes in 43123 ns" and there are a lot of unpredictable variables that affect the end performance. Still, it's often better to test your querie's / table's performance before implementing them in the application than not.Exactly. I'm not questioning the fact that optimising your code (and ALL your code, not just SQL) is a Good Thing (tm) - but how you go about that optimisation process.
For example, your PL/SQL code fires off a query. It returns on average 10,000 rows, hits a single partition (SQL enables partitioning pruning) and then uses a local bitmap index to identify the rows.
An optimal query by the sounds of it, and one that will perform and scale well.. even when the database instance needs to service a 100 clients using your code and running this query.
Only, the code does a single bulk collect of all the rows and stuff it into dedicated process memory (PGA). Servicing a 100 clients means that dedicated server memory is now needed for 100x10000 rows - there's insufficient free memory, causing the kernel to start swapping pages in and out of memory heavily as all 100 client sessions are active and wanting to process the rows returned by the optimal query.
What happens to scalability and performance now?
Testing for performance is not simply measuring a query and then trying to use that or extrapolate that to determine application performance and the impact on production.
It starts with the design of the tables, the design of the application, the writing of the code (application and SQL). It is not something that should be done after the fact as in "+okay, application all done, let's see how she performs!+".. and especially not using time as the baseline for performance measurement.

PL/SQL function body returning SQL Query Problem

I have wandered around the forums and found quite a bit of helpful information that has gotten me to the point I am now at. Unfortuntely, PL/SQL is not my strongest point and I am getting an error when I attempt to run my report.

This query will never work. I marked only couple of errors you have there. Actually,
I meant "formating" errors rather than "syntactical" errors. You are missing spaces
all over the place. This is why I suggested to use a CLOB column in a test table
to return the query for debugging purposes - this is how I do it at least, when I need
to escape and concatenate a lot of code.
If you are referencing item values from a user session in a function or a procedure,
then you need to use the v('ITEM') syntax instead of :ITEM syntax. However, if the
output of this procedure will be used as a function returning SQL query, you will
be fine with :ITEM.

Possibility to show opening balance of a GL account through SQL query?

Hi experts,
Is it possible to run an SQL query in SBO that shows the opening balance
of a GL account based on a date entered by the user?
This is similar to how the general ledger shows the opening balance of a GL account based on the posting dates entered.
Thanks for your ideas.

Hi Gordon,
Thanks for that idea.
I am thinking of the following:
1. Create a virtual table (#TEST) from a SELECT statement that gets all journal entries for the specified GL account BEFORE the specified posting date.
2. Perform a SELECT statement that sums the debit and credit from (#TEST).
This should show the opening balance of the GL account right?
Regards,
Eric

SQL query with Bind variable with slower execution plan

I have a 'normal' sql select-insert statement (not using bind variable) and it yields the following execution plan:-
Execution Plan

3 2 INDEX (RANGE SCAN) OF 'TABLEA_IDX_2' (NON-UNIQUE) (Cost=3 Card=1)
4 1 INDEX (FAST FULL SCAN) OF 'TABLEB_IDX_003' (NON-UNIQUE)

I have the same query but instead running using bind variable (I test it with both oracle form and SQL*plus), it takes considerably longer with a different execution plan:-

TABLEA has around 3million record while TABLEB has 300 records. Is there anyway I can improve the speed of the sql query with bind variable? I have DBA Access to the database
Regards
Ivan

Many thanks for your reply.
I have run the statistic already for the both tableA and tableB as well all the indexes associated with both table (using dbms_stats, I am on 9i db ) but not the indexed columns.
for table I use:-
begin
dbms_stats.gather_table_stats(ownname=> 'IVAN', tabname=> 'TABLEA', partname=> NULL);
end;
for index I use:-
begin
dbms_stats.gather_index_stats(ownname=> 'IVAN', indname=> 'TABLEB_IDX_003', partname=> NULL);
end;
Is it possible to show me a sample of how to collect statisc for INDEX columns stats?
regards
Ivan

Reason and Prerequisites
You are looking for additional parameter settings. There are two possible reasons why a feature is available via the "additional parameters" table in the "advanced mode" section of the configuration, but not as documented parameter in the configuration UI itself:
Category 1: The parameter has been introduced for a patch or a SP upgrade where no UI upgrade and/or documentation upgrade was possible. In this case, the parameter will be moved to the UI and the documentation as soon as possible. The parameter in the "additional parameters" table will be deprecated after this move, but still be working. The parameter belongs to the supported adapter functionality and can be used in all, also productive, scenarios.
Category 2. The parameter has been introduced for testing purposes, proof-of-concept scenarios, as workaround or as pre-released functionality. In this case, the parameter may or may not be moved to the UI and documentation, and the functionality may be changed, replaced or removed. For this parameter category there is no guaranteed support and usage in productive scenarios is not supported.
When you want to use a parameter documented here, please be aware to which category it belongs!
Solution
The following list shows all available parameters of category 1 or 2. Please note:
Parameter names are always case-sensitive! Parameter values may be case-sensitive, this is documented for each parameter.
Parameter names and values as documented below must be used always without quotaton marks ("), if not explicitly stated otherwise.
The default value of a parameter is always chosen that it does not change the standard functionality
JDBC Receiver Adapter Parameters
1. Parameter name: "logSQLStatement"
              Parameter type: boolean
              Parameter value: true for any string value, false only for empty string
              Parameter value default: false (empty String)
              Available with: SP9
              Category: 2
              Description:
              When implementing a scenario with the JDBC receiver adapter, it may be helpful to see which SQL statement is generated by the JDBC adapter from the XI message content for error analysis. Before SP9, this can only be found in the trace of the JDBC adapter if trace level DEBUG is activated. With SP9, the generated SQL statement will be shown in the details page (audit protocol) of the message monitor for each message directly.
              This should be used only during the test phase and not in productive scenarios.

Prateek

Sql Query (updateable Report) returning ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value

Hi I have a Sql Query Report Region as defined below. On the report attributes I am not using any "Row Selector". In a After submit process I try to print out the results of the value I have entered in as a value in updatable report and i get the error: I am doing this as a test before i use the data to insert into another table...
I receive this error if I enter in a characters (not numeric) into the "Field Value" field.:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error.
If I enter in a numeric into the "Field Value" text box, then I get the value displayed back without error. I need to be able to enter a varchar value without error.
My SQL QUERY is:
select i.INDEXED_FIELD_ID, i.field_name,
HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT(3,d.indexed_field_value) field_value,
decode(f.required, 0, 'O', 1, 'R', 'NOT USED') REQUIRED
from XXVG_EFILE_DOCUMENT_FIELDS D,
xxvg_efile_type_fields f, xxvg_efile_indexed_fields i
WHERE f.indexed_field_id = i.indexed_field_id
and f.required in (0,1)
and i.indexed_field_id = d.indexed_field_id(+)
and d.document_id(+) = -1
and f.document_type_id = :p21_doc_type
My after submit process is the following...**Note** I am using P21_test as a field just to display my test. I receive the value back just fine without error if numeric. If varchar, that is when the problems occur. I have used just a length variable like the lettter 't' for testing and still receive the error.
DECLARE
vRow BINARY_INTEGER;
BEGIN
-- update field values
FOR i IN 1 .. HTMLDB_APPLICATION.g_f03.COUNT -- your field value
LOOP
vRow := HTMLDB_APPLICATION.g_f03(i);
IF vRow is Not NULL --means the field has data in it.
THEN
:p21_test := HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F03(i); --set a variable to the field with data.
END IF;
END LOOP;
END;
Is there a conversion I need to do? I do not want to do this via checkboxes as I dont want the user have to check a checkbox and then enter a value in. I just want a blank text box the user can enter a value in and then i can do an insert.
Thanks So much.

Thanks Scott, That did do the trick as the varchar is now displayed of the entered item.
How do i also display the value of indexed_field_id as well.
I have an insert where i need the indexed field id and the entered field value.
Thanks in advance.

PL/SQL function body returning SQL query - ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error

I'm attempting to dynamically generate a rather large SQL query via the "PL/SQL function body returning SQL query" report region option. The SQL query generated will possibly be over 32K. When I execute my page, I sometimes receive the "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error" which points to a larger than 32K query that was generated. I've seen other posts in the forum related to this dynamic SQL size limitation issue, but they are older (pre-2010) and point to the 32K limit of the DNS (EXECUTE IMMEDIATE) and DBMS_SQL. I found this post (dynamic sql enhancements in 11g) which discusses 11g no longer having the 32K size limitation for generating dynamic SQL. Our environment is on 11gR2 and using ApEx 4.2.1. I do not know which dynamic SQL method -- DNS or DBMS_SQL -- ApEx 4.2.1 is using. Can someone clarify for me which dynamic SQL method ApEx uses to implement the "PL/SQL function body returning SQL query" option?
As a test, I created a page on apex.oracle.com with a report region with the following source:
declare
l_stub varchar2(25) := 'select * from sys.dual ';
l_sql clob := l_stub || 'union all ';
br     number(3) := 33;
begin
while length ( l_sql ) < 34000 loop
    l_sql := l_sql || l_stub || 'union all ';
end loop;
l_sql := l_sql || l_stub;
for i in 1 .. ceil ( length ( l_sql ) / br ) loop
    dbms_output.put_line ( dbms_lob.substr ( l_sql, br, ( ( i - 1 ) * br ) + 1 ) );
end loop;
return l_sql;
end;
The dbms_output section is there to be able to run this code in SQL*Plus and confirm the size of the SQL is indeed larger than 32K. When running this in SQL*Plus, the procedure is successful and produces a proper SQL statement which can be executed. When I put this into the report region on apex.oracle.com, I get the ORA-06502 error.
I can certainly implement a work-around for my issue by creating a 'Before Header' process on the page which populates an ApEx collection with the data I am returning and then the report can simply select from the collection, but according to documentation, the above 32K limitation should be resolved in 11g. Thoughts?
Shane.

What setting do you use in your report properties - especially in Type and in Region Source?
If you have Type="SQL Query", then you should have a SELECT statement in the Region Source. Something like: SELECT .... FROM ... WHERE
According to the ERR-1101 error message, you have probably set Type to "SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query)". In this situation APEX expects you to write a body of a PL/SQL function, that will generate the text of a SQL query that APEX should run. So it can be something like:
declare
mycond varchar2(4000);
begin
if :P1_REPORT_SEARCH is not null THEN
mycond:='WHERE LAST_NAME like :P1_REPORT_SEARCH ||''%''';
end if;
return 'select EMPLOYEE_ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME from EMPLOYEES ' ||mycond;
end;
And for escaping - are you interested in escaping the LIKE wildcards, or the quotes?
For escaping the wildcards in LIKE function so that when the user enters % you will find a record with % and not all functions, look into the SQL Reference:
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14200/conditions007.htm
(You would than need to change the code of your function accordingly).
If you are interested in escaping the quotes, try to avoid concatenating the values entered by the user into the SQL. If you can, use bind variables instead - as I have in my example above. If you start concatenating the values into the text of SQL, you are open to SQLInjection - user can enter anything, even things that will break your SQL. If you really need to allow users to choose the operator, I would probably give them a separate combo for operators and a textfield for values, than you could check if the operator is one of the allowed ones and create the condition accordingly - and than still use bind variable for inserting the filtering value into the query.

OLEDB Source sql query with parameter

I have a dataflow in a for each loop container.The OLEDB Source is pointing to oracle database.The sql query to fetch the data should take a variable value.
Example : select * from tablename where colname = @variablevalue
the variable value changes each time since the dataflow is in a for each loop container.
can anyone please help me configuring the source??
when i try to use ? i get the following error message
Thanks,
Rahul

I can't troubleshoot that error as i don't have a Oracle source to test. See this -
http://microsoftdw.blogspot.com/2005/11/parameterized-queries-against-oracle.html
Try -
1. Create a int variable vBatchIndex (this would be your parameter which you are trying to pass) and provide the value
2. Create another string variable vSQLQuery > Go to Variable properties > Set the "EvaluateAsExpression" property to "True"
3. Under the variable properties > Go to Expression > and provide this expression as
"SELECT * FROM fc_batch_report WHERE batch_index= " + (DT_WSTR, 10) @[User::vBatchIndex]
4.Next ,go to OLE DB Source > Select the Data access mode - SQL command from variable
5.Select the variable name - vSQLQuery

SQL query with parameter returns empty result set, please help !!!

Hi there,
When I use the following query :
<sql:query var="beroepsthemas" >
select *
from beroepsthemas
where beroepsthemaid = ?
<sql:param value="12"/>
</sql:query>
When I want to browse the result set with :
<c:forEach items="${beroepsthemas.rows}" var="rij">
it shows no records. But it must return at least one.
All my jsp pages with sql queries and parameters have the same problem.
This is all on my test environment. I'm using Ubuntu 5.10, Netbeans5.0, JDK 1.5_06, application runs in Bundeled Tomcat 5.5.9, MySQL 4.1.12, mysql-connector3.1.6
When the same code is run on the live environment, it works just fine.
The difference is :
Mysql 4.1.10a, tomcat5.5.9, mysql-connector3.1.6
What can there be wrong !!

When the same code is run on the live environment, it
works just fine.
The difference is :
Mysql 4.1.10a, tomcat5.5.9, mysql-connector3.1.6
I didn't catch this. I think you may need to update the database driver.

Passing multiple values to a parmeters in SQL Query

Hi friends,
I have the following requirement -

Condition for sending multiple Oprtaing Units -
WHERE ','||:id1||',' like '%,'||hou.name||',%'
This above condition is working when i am passing multiple values with out single quotes...but not working for multiple values with single quotes.
Sample queries tested -
select 1 from dual where ',aa,bb,cc,' like '%,bb,%' (This is working)
select 1 from dual where ','aa','bb','cc',' like '%,'bb',%'(This is not working).
Thanks In Advance!
