Using specific table index in query

We have a project that has a need of specifying specific table index in its queries. Does TopLink support this when Expressions are used to specify query criteria? Thanks.

How/can I use boe search 4 all reports that use specific tables

How/can I use boe search 4 all reports that use specific tables
can this be done with query builder
or
is there a way to search all sql of all reports for specific strings and report names so that I can find all report sql that uses table1 for example?

Hi Bart!
You can use VBScript to extract the dataprovider within the reports (Search for SDK Desktop Intelligence).
If you can wait a few days longer, I can provide my script.

Cost of using subquery vs using same table twice in query

Hi all,
In a current project, I was asked by my supervisor what is the cost difference between the following two methods. First method is using a subquery to get the name field from table2. A subquery is needed because it requires the field sa_id from table1. The second method is using table2 again under a different alias to obtain table2.name. The two table2 are not self-joined. The outcome of these two queries are the same.
Using subquery:
select a.sa_id R1, b.other_field R2,
(select b.name from b
where b.b_id = a.sa_id) R3
from table1 a, table2 b
where ...Using same table twice (table2 under 2 different aliases)
select a.sa_id R1, b.other_field R2, c.name R3
from table1 a, table2 b, table2 c
where
c.b_id = a.sa_id,
and ....Can anyone tell me which version is better and why? (or under what circumstances, which version is better). And what are the costs involved? Many thanks.

Many thanks.In theory, if you use the scalar "subquery" approach, the correlated subquery needs to be executed for each row of your result set. Depending on how efficient the subquery is performed this could require significant resources, since you have that recursive SQL that needs to be executed for each row.
The "join" approach needs to read the table only twice, may be it can even use an indexed access path. So in theory the join approach should perform better in most cases.
Now the Oracle runtime engine (since Version 8) introduces a feature called "filter optimization" that also applies to correlated scalar subqueries. Basically it works like an in-memory hash table that caches the (hashed) input values to the (deterministic) correlated subquery and the corresponding output values. The number of entries of the hash table is fixed until 9i (256 entries) whereas in 10g it is controlled by a internal parameter that determines the size of the table (and therefore can hold different number of entries depending on the size of each element).
If the input value of the next row corresponds to the input value of the previous row then this optimization returns immediately the corresponding output value without any further action. If the input value can be found in the hash table, the corresponding output value is returned, otherwise execute the query and keep the result combination and eventually attempt to store this new combination in the hash table, but if a hash collision occurs the combination will be discarded.
So the effectiveness of this clever optimization largely depends on three different factors: The order of the input values (because as long as the input value doesn't change the corresponding output value will be returned immediately without any further action required), the number of distinct input values and finally the rate of hash collisions that might occur when attempting to store a combination in the in-memory hash table.
In summary unfortunately you can't really tell how good this optimization is going to work at runtime and therefore can't be properly reflected in the execution plan.
You need to test both approaches individually because in the optimal case the optimization of the scalar subquery will be superior to the join approach, but it could also well be the other around, depending on the factors mentioned.

How can I identify reports that use specific tables

Hi, is there a way that I can identify the reports that select from specific tables? We have 3,000 reports in business object enterprise XI R2 SP5. and we're trying to identify all the reports that use a specific table.

Or if you have a developer in Java or .NET available you can write one. Fairly simple to get the info.
In .NET you would open each report, write the name of the report to a log file with the output of the SQL Statement:
Using RAS as the report engine.
            GroupPath gp = new GroupPath();
            string tmp = String.Empty;
            rptClientDoc.RowsetController.GetSQLStatement(gp, out tmp);
            MessageBox.Show(tmp, "Data Source Set and SQL Statement", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Information);
If you want more details is is available with a few more lines of code. The above would only show you what is used in the report.
I don't believe there is a BOE tool that can do this but they may have one.
Here's a link to the BOE Admin forum: BI Platform

Use of #tables in partition query definition

hi everyone,
I have a cube with 10 partitions i am trying to use the query logic in each partition something like below
create table #tmp1
insert into #tmp1(col1) select col1 from bags where month=01
create table #tmp2
insert into #tmp2(col2)
select col1 from books where month=01
create index on #tmp1
create index on #tmp2
select * from #tmp1 a inner join #tmp2 b on a.col1=b.col1
the month in where conditions get changes for different partitions.
error ::
The SQL syntax is not valid. The relational database returned the following error message: The metadata could not be determined because statement 'SELECT col1 uses a temp table.
please suggest any other alternatives. apart from usage of physical tables
Thanks

I am using view already in the partition query. Rephrasing the queries used as shown below.
create table #tmp1
insert into #tmp1(col1) select
col1 from Vwbags where month=01
create table #tmp2
insert into #tmp2(col2)
select col1 from Vwbooks where month=01
create index on #tmp1
create index on #tmp2
select * from #tmp1 a inner join #tmp2 b on a.col1=b.col1

Runtime error using range table in select query

I have to select tcodes from table tstc, based on the entries in ust12,
the entries in ust12-von and ust12-bis, these contains wild charcters also, and i have to selct all the tcodes from von to bis.
so ia m preparing a range table for the entries in ust12, and querying table tstc, then i am getting a runtime error with following description.
'If the problem occurred because an excessively large table was used
in an IN itab construct, you can use FOR ALL ENTRIES instead.'
but how can i use FOR ALL ENTRIES here, because if von = A* and bis = AB*,then i ahve to read all the entries from AAAA till ABZZ (may be something like this),
is there any way to write this query, with out runtime error.
there are total 15000 entries in ust12, i am preparing range table for 3000 entries each and querying tstc.
Thanks in advance
Best Regards
Amarender Reddy B

Hi,
first write a select on ust12 based on ust12-von and ust12-bis.
eg: select von bis from ust12 into table gt_ust12
where von LIKE 'A%'
and bis LIKE 'AB%'.
now write another select for tstc for all entries in gt_ust12...
Hope it helps

Plz Help : Can use drop table in dataset query...?

Can I use this script in my dataset Query in SSRS 2008 R2?

Hi NafisehPanahi,
Reporting Services provides both a graphical query designer and a text-based query designer for creating queries to retrieve data from a relational database for a report dataset in Report Designer.
The text-based query designer does not preprocess the query and can accommodate any kind of query syntax, therefore, you can select “Edit as Text” to type the same command to SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
The graphical query designer supports three types of query commands: Text which supports standard Transact-SQL query text for relational database data sources, StoredProcedure, or TableDirect.
For the details, please see the links below:

Error while running query for a specific table

Hi All,
I need your help please.
I've configured everything correctly in my SCCM environment. And i used to connect the CAS database from a separate box(same domain) which has SSMS console installed in it. Now the problem is, whenever i try to run a query in CAS database locally, it runs
successfully. But when i connect the CAS database remotely and run the same query with the same login i used in CAS, it says the below error. This is happening from past 2 days only. :'(
Query ran :
select top 100 * from v_GS_WORKSTATION_STATUS
Error :
Msg 18456, Level 14, State 1, Line 1
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.
OLE DB provider "SQLNCLI11" for linked server "abc.domain.com" returned message "Invalid connection string attribute".
I checked the SQL connection authentication information it says authenticated by kerberos using below query :
SELECT
s.session_id
, c.connect_time
, s.login_time
, s.login_name
, c.protocol_type
, c.auth_scheme
, s.HOST_NAME
, s.program_name
FROM sys.dm_exec_sessions s
JOIN sys.dm_exec_connections c
ON s.session_id = c.session_id
where s.host_name='servername'

But, another wierd information is i can successfully run the below query in remote.
select * from vSMS_R_System
I think that specific table is not working in remote. Pleaseeeeeeee helppp me......
Regards,
Jay

Hi JaySmiley,
According to your description, you get the logon issue when connecting to CAS database remotely and execute query. Right?
In this scenario, this error can happen when the SPN account is registered without setting 'trusted for delegation' property. Account must be trusted for delegation in order for Kerberos delegation to succeed. Here's a blog talking about your scenario, please
refer to the link below:

Check Index used in an oracle select query

Hi Friends,
I have partitioned an oracle table and created Local Index for the Partitioned table .
Now i want to make sure that the Local index is being used when i perform select query on the Table partition.
How do i confirm that ?
can i check the explain plan generted for the select query to confirm local index is being used ?
Please let me know.
Regards,
DB

Now i want to make sure that the Local index is being used when i perform select query on the Table partition.Why? Have you proven that using this local index is the "best" plan?
How do i confirm that ?
can i check the explain plan generted for the select query to confirm local index is being used ?When I asked Google "how to read an oracle explain plan," I found lots of information - what did you find?

Query don't use the right index when using bind variables

Hi people !
I need some help because I have an issue with a query that don t use the right Indexes as it should
First of all, I have mainly three tables :
ORDER : Table that contains description for each Order (approximately 1 000 000 Records)
ORDER_MVTS : Table that contains the tasks made (called movements) to set up each Orders
with quantity of packages prepared for each product (approximately 10 000 000 Records)
PRODUCT : Tables that contains the products (approximately 50 000 Records)
When I launch the query with hard coded values, it brings back response very fast
because it uses the right index (ORDER_DHR_VALID) which represent the date and hour of the order
(with format 'DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'). The selectivity for this index is good.
NB 1: I have to use the trick " >= Trunc(date) and < trunc(date) +1 " to filter on a simple date because
the index contains hour and minutes (I know it wasn't probably a bright idea at conception time).
NB 2: The index on ORDER_MVTS.PRODUCT_CODE is'nt discriminating enough because there is'nt enough different products.
It's the same for index on CUSTOMER_CODE and on MVT_TYPE so only the index on ORDER.DHR_VALID is good.
Here is the correct explain plan when I execute the query with hard coded values :
SELECT SUM(ORDER_MVTS.NB_PACKAGE)
FROM ORDER_MVTS, PRODUCT, ORDER
WHERE ORDER.DHR_VALID >= TRUNC(to_date('14/11/2008 10:04:56','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'))
AND ORDER.DHR_VALID < TRUNC(to_date('14/11/2008 10:04:56','DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')) + 1
AND ORDER_MVTS.MVT_TYPE = 'DELIVERY'
AND PRODUCT.CODE = ORDER_MVTS.PRODUCT_CODE
AND ORDER_MVTS.ORDER_CODE = ORDER.CODE
AND ORDER.CUSTOMER_CODE = 'ADIDAS'
AND PRODUCT.CODE = 1234
Rows Row Source Operation
1 SORT AGGREGATE
2 NESTED LOOPS
4 NESTED LOOPS
2 INDEX UNIQUE SCAN (object id 378548) --> PRODUCT_PK
4 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID ORDER
777 INDEX RANGE SCAN (object id 378119) --> ORDER_DHR_VALID
2 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID ORDER_MVTS
30 INDEX RANGE SCAN (object id 377784) --> ORDER_MVTS_ORDER_FK
Now the problem is when the query is used in a Cursor with bind variables.
It seems like Oracle don't use index on ORDER.DHR_VALID because he can't figure out that he have
to actually filter on a short period of time (only one day).
So Oracle uses the index on ORDER_MVTS.PRODUCT_CODE which is'nt a bright idea (it takes 10 secondes instead of just one)
Here is the bad explain plan :
Rows Row Source Operation
1 SORT AGGREGATE
2 NESTED LOOPS
722 NESTED LOOPS
2 INDEX UNIQUE SCAN (object id 378548) --> PRODUCT_PK
722 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID ORDER_MVTS
1790 INDEX RANGE SCAN (object id 377777) --> ORDER_MVTS_PRODUCT_FK
2 TABLE ACCESS BY INDEX ROWID ORDER
1442 INDEX UNIQUE SCAN (object id 378439) --> ORDER_PK
Now I have found two solutions to this problem :
1) using a Hint to force the use of index on ORDER.DHR_VALID (with /*+ INDEX(ORDER ORDER_DHR_VALID) */ )
2) Using Dynamic SQL and keeping the date hard coded (but not the other values except mvt_type)
For example :
QUERY :=
'SELECT SUM(ORDER_MVTS.NB_PACKAGE)
FROM ORDER_MVTS, PRODUCT, ORDER
WHERE ORDER.DHR_VALID >= TRUNC(TO_DATE('''||To_char(P_DTE_VAL,'DD/MM/YYYY')||''',''DD/MM/YYYY'')) '||
AND ORDER.DHR_VALID < TRUNC(TO_DATE('''||To_char(P_DTE_VAL,'DD/MM/YYYY')||''',''DD/MM/YYYY'')) + 1 '||
AND ORDER_MVTS.MVT_TYPE = 'DELIVERY'
AND PRODUCT.CODE = ORDER_MVTS.PRODUCT_CODE
AND ORDER_MVTS.ORDER_CODE = ORDER.CODE
AND ORDER.CUSTOMER_CODE = :CUSTOMER
AND PRODUCT.CODE = :CODE ';
These two solutions work but Number 1 is bad in theory because it uses a Hint
and Number 2 may be difficult to code.
So my question is : Does someone knows another solution to force the use of index ORDER_DHR_VALID that can be simple and reliable.
Thank you very much for support

What version of oracle you have? CBO work is different in 9i and 10g.
Usually cost based optimizer do not want to use index for >< condition with binding variables because optimizer can not use statistic to determine selectivity, and by default selectivity of <> operators is low.
(As I remember '>' selectivity by default is 5%, you have two conditions > and <, therefore resulting selectivity will be 0.05*0.05=0.0025 as two independent events, but selectivity of other conditions
ORDER_MVTS.MVT_TYPE = 'DELIVERY' or ORDER.CUSTOMER_CODE = 'ADIDAS' looks much better for CBO)
The best solution I see is do not use binding variables. Actually your query looks as searching query, which executes not so often, therefore you will not have perfomance win along of skipping execution plan creation.

Query tuning and using the "better" index.

I have a database table with about 40,000 records in it. Using
a certain index first limits the number of rows to 11,000
records. Using a different index first (by disabling the other
index in the query) limits the number of rows to 2,500 records.
Using the explain plan, the rest of the query is parsed the same
way for both queries. What reasons can explain why when the
index that returns 11,000 records first runs faster than
the "better" index? I thought the whole idea behind query
tuning is to use the index that limits the data the most.

It looks like Oracle likes the equality condition more than the greater than -less than combination (which you might like to recode as a BETWEEN condition for clarity).
There are a number of factors here.
i) Are the "test names" equally distributed? Do some test names appear with greater frequency than others? If so, collecting column statistics might cause the BATCH_2 index to be used for some test names, and not for others.
ii) Likewise, what is the distribution of cdates? How does the distribution of cdates vary by test name?
iii) You could force the use of the BATCH_6 index over the BATCH_2 by using an optimizer hint instead of dropping the BATCH_2 index ...
select /*+ index(batch batch_6) */ id, test, cdate
from batch
where test = 'Some test name'
and cdate >= &start date&
and cdate < &end date& + 1
... or even try prompting Oracle to use both indexes ...
select /*+ index(batch batch_6) index(batch batch_2) */ id, test, cdate
from batch
where test = 'Some test name'
and cdate >= &start date&
and cdate < &end date& + 1
... and test the response times, then chose to use the optimizer hint in your application
iv) You might like to replace the rather unselective BATCH_2 index with a BATCH_2_6 index on both test and cdate (in that order). That would probably give you an excellent result, and the BATCH_6 index can still be used to satisfy queries slective on cdate that are not selective on test (in very recent versions of Oracle the BATCH_2_6 index might be used for such an operation, and you could drop both BATCH_6 and BATCH_2)
Well, see if any of this helps.

Using a Value index on XMLIndex path table.

I am trying to understand how to capitalize on the VALUE index created on a XMLIndex path table. So far, I have not been able to successfully use it. I am not sure whether I am misunderstanding the way it is intended to be used? Or am making a mistake somewhere else along the way. Here is a use-case where I think that it should be getting picked up by the optimizer:
CREATE TABLE TEST_TABLE
    (ID VARCHAR2(128) NOT NULL,
    XML_DATA XMLTYPE NOT NULL,
    CONSTRAINT TEST_PK PRIMARY KEY (ID))
XMLTYPE COLUMN XML_DATA STORE AS BINARY XML;
-- Populate the table with some random data. Here, our single attribute should be
-- unique for each row.
INSERT INTO TEST_TABLE (
SELECT dbms_random.string('A', 15), XMLElement("Test", XMLAttributes(dbms_random.string('A', 15) as "someAttr"))
FROM DUAL
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 20000 );
CREATE INDEX test_xmlindex_ix ON TEST_TABLE(XML_DATA) INDEXTYPE IS XDB.XMLIndex
PARAMETERS('
    PATHS (Include (/Test/@someAttr))
    PATH TABLE      test_path_table
    PATH ID INDEX   test_path_id_ix
    ORDER KEY INDEX test_key_ix
    VALUE INDEX     test_value_ix ');
-- Not sure if I need these or not?
CALL DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS ('MYSCHEMA', 'TEST_TABLE');
CALL DBMS_STATS.GATHER_TABLE_STATS ('MYSCHEMA, 'TEST_PATH_TABLE');
-- Now, I would expect this query to use the Value index that was created.
-- Instead, the Explain plan indicates that TEST_PATH_ID_IX was used..
SELECT xml_data
FROM   test_table v
WHERE extractValue(v.xml_data, '/Test/@someAttr') = ?
Here are the operations listed in the explain plan for the query:
SELECT STATEMENT
FILTER
TABLE ACCESS(FULL) MYSCHEMA.TEST_TABLE
TABLE ACCESS(BY INDEX ROWID) MYSCHEMA.TEST_PATH_TABLE
INDEX(RANGE SCAN) MYSCHEMA.TEST_PATH_ID_IXIf I understand everything correctly, here, there is no reason why the PATH ID index should have been used. Isn't this index strictly for the XML tags themselves? Why wouldn't it use the Value index?
Thanks,
Jon

I believe that (although I don't know the exact mechanics) that it will use the path index first to find the needed

afterwards, if not successful, trying to limit the request with the filter at hand, so see if it can be used, to

Query Builder - Find WEBI reports that are using a table

I am trying to find list of WEBI reports using a specific table. This specific table is used in only 1 universe.
Though I could successfully find list of reports that use this universe, I am unable to find drill down further and find the subset of reports using this table/object.
SELECT si_name, SI_KIND, si_id, SI_PARENTID,SI_AUTHOR,SI_OWNER FROM CI_INFOOBJECTS, CI_APPOBJECTS
WHERE PARENTS("SI_NAME='WEBI-UNIVERSE'","SI_NAME ='MyUniverse'")
Is it possible to find the information I am looking for using query builder.
Also, for a given WEBI report I am trying to find the list of report names and the folder they reside in:
Select SI_NAME, SI_ID, SI_PATH, SI_KIND, SI_OWNER From CI_INFOOBJECTS, CI_APPOBJECTS WHERE
PARENTS("SI_NAME='Folder Hierarchy'",
"PARENTS('SI_NAME=''WEBI-UNIVERSE'' ', 'SI_NAME=''MyUniverse'' ')" )
The above query just gives me the folder names. I am looking to find the report names as well the the folder (and preferably the path) in a single query. Is that possible.

Sri,
With respect to your 1st requirement:
In BusinessObjects 6.5 it was possible. However, post BOXIR2 this information could not be retrieved from CMS via query builder. I agree with Jorge Sosua's comment above.
With respect to your 2nd requirement:
The field 'SI_PATH' will retrieve Filestore path(physical path). If you were referring logical path(Public folder path or psuedo-reference path) will you please refer my respone to Kelly Stone at BusinessObjects Query builder queries - Part II , If this may assist you.

Sandeep
