Where's the Partition Support?

Why is there no Partition Tab on the Table window? How do you see partition stats?
Why are the partition concatenated to the bottom of the columns if you expand the table node? I have tables with thousands of partitions... it's totally unwieldy.
I'm more and more disappointed with what this tool is missing. Basic, fundemental functionality, and I hear you off building data modeling... I just don't understand.
At my job partitions are as fundemental as columns, as indexes. They need to have the equivalent treatment.

Actually there is a problem with the partitions tab. If you don't pin an initial table that has no partitions, then select a table with partitions, the tab does not appear. So you either need to have pinned the initial table so that the partitions table opens a new set of display editors. We have a bug logged for this and plan to address it for release 2.0 (due for release later this year). You probably experienced that bug.
As for the Data Modeling support, it was due to requests in this forum and on our Exchange that we investigated the need for a data modeling tool. The good news is that we have new developers working on this. While it should not matter how we manage the team, it may comfort you to know that the addition of the tool has in no way impacted the initial development team who are still entirely focused on SQL Developer.
Please feel free to vote on features that have been posted on our Exchange already or to add your own request there.
Both Kris and I have written about how to add extensions to SQL Developer and I often use this to add a sub partitions tab to my table display editors. Take a look here if you are interested: http://sueharper.blogspot.com/2007/04/how-to-add-tabs-to-sql-developer.html
Now the other piece in your query about partitions in the connections navigator, I see your point with my partitions - surely it would be enough to have these in the partitions tab and not to have them in the navigator at all?

  • Where is the Tech Support for Crystal Reports

    Where is the technical support for Crystal Reports?  I have just been through one of the worst technical supports circles in my entire career - this phone# to that phone# and only to be told you cannot talk to a Tech Support person.  My dilema for anyone that can help - I am using Crystal Report 2008.  I have mapped to a database in MS Access 2002.  I copied the database to my desktop and created a test report.  I can see the fields in the Field Explorer.  I have dragged the fields onto the report and they are visible in Design View.  I can see the data in the fields when I browse the fields.  In the Preview View I do not see any data what-so-ever.  I have not changed any defaults and have not suppressed or hidden information.  The $1M question:  Why can't I see the data on my report?  I never had the problem when I used Crystal Reports v8.

    The datasource shows my database.  I believe that is what you meant.  No data.  IT has asked me to ask ? if in the Control Panel DSN if we need some information there.  I don't have a clue - I am just a report writer and not an IT person.

  • Where did the Partitions and SubPartitions go?

    I created a table with partition Range (Transaction_Date, Retention_Period) and hash (Record_Id) subpartition template (for 32 subpartitions)
    Then I add more partitions and while the loop is going on I can get counts of partitions and subpartitions. The job finished and my log table shows about 1800 partitions added and there should be 32 subpartitions for each of the partitions. However, user_tab_partitions shows zero records for the table, and user_tab_subpartitions also show zero record. After a few minutes the partitions show up but no subpartitions. The indexes on the table have also disappeared (one local and one global)
    Any explanation for this behaviour?
    Working on Exadata 11.2.0.3
    Querying
    USER_TABLES
    USER_TAB_PARTITIONS
    USER_TAB_SUBPARTITIONS
    USER_INDEXES

    >
    Step 1. Create Table xyz (c1 date, c2 integer c3 integer, etc)
    partition by range (c1,c2)
    subpartition template (s01, s02... s32)
    create index i1 on xyz (c1,c2,c3) local;
    Then, since I want to create about 1800 partitions I have a procedure that has a "loop around" ALTER TABLE add Partition .. until all the partitions are created. This is the "Job" which while running I query USER_TAB_PARTITIONS and USER_TAB_SUBPARTITIONS to see how things are progressing. And Yes ALTER Table has no progressing to verify.
    So al the partitions get created. No errors from the procedure to go through creating all the partitions. So I would expect that at the end I should get to see all the new partitions for the Table. Instead I get "no records" from USER_TAB_PARTITIONS and USER_TAB_SUBPARTITIONS.
    I am also aware that "ALTER TABLE ADD PARTITION .." cannot make indexes go away. However, if the query on USER_INDEXES returns nothing, what happend to the Index created before the partitions were added?
    I am not using DBMS_REDEFINITION. The only procedure is to add partitions one at a time for each date for 3 years. If you have a better way than a procedure please advise accordingly.

    In order to help you the first step is to understand what problem you are dealing with. Then comes trying to determine what options are available for addressing the problem. There are too many times , and yours may, or may not, be another one, where people seem to have settled on a solution before they have really identified the problem.
    Anytime someone mentions the use of dynamic SQL it raises a red flag. And when that use is for DDL, rather than DMl, it raises a REALLY BIG red flag.
    Schema objects need to be managed properly and the DDL that creates them needs to be properly written and kept in some sort of version control.
    Scripts and procedures that use dynamic SQL are more properly used to create DDL, not to execute it. That is, rather than use a procedure to dynamically create or alter a table you would use the procedure to dynamically create a DDL script that would create or alter the table.
    Let's assume that you know for certain that your table really needs to have 1800 partitions, be subpartitioned the way you say and have partition and subpartitions names that you assign. Well, that would be a pain to hand-write 1800 partition definitions.
    So you would create a procedure that would produce a CREATE TABLE script that had the proper clauses and syntax to specify those 1800 partitions. Your 'loop' would not EXECUTE an ALTER TABLE for each partition but would create the partition specification and modify the partition boundaries for each iteration through the loop. Sort of like
    for i from 1 to 365 loop
        add partition spec for startDate + i
    end loop;The number of iterations would be a parameter and you would start with 2 or 3. Always test with the smallest code that will produce the correct results. If the code works for 3 days it will work for any larger reasonable number.
    Then you would save that script in your version control system and run it to create the table. There would be nothing to monitor since there is just one script and when it is done it is done.
    That would be a proper use of dynamic sql: to produce DDL, not to execute it.
    Back to your issue. If I were your manager then based on what you posted I would expect you to already have
    1. a requirements document that stated the problem (e.g. performance, data management) that was being addressed
    2. test results that showed that your proposed solution (a table partitioned the way you posted) solves the problem
    The requirements doc would have detail about what the performance/management issues are and what impact they are having
    You also need to document what the possible solutions are, the relative merits of each solution and the factors you considered when ranking the solutions. That is, why is your particular partitioning scheme the best solution for the problem.
    You should have test results that show the execution plans and performance you achieved by using a test version of your proposed table and indexes.
    Until you have 'proven' that your solution will work as you expect I wouldn't recommend implementing the full-blown version of it.
    1. Create a table MANUALLY that has 2 or three days worth of partitions.
    2. Load those partitions with a representative amount of data
    3. Execute test queries to query data from one of those partitions
    4. Execute the same test queries against your current table
    5. Capture the execution plans (the actual ones) for those queries. Verify that you are getting the performance improvements that you expected.
    Once ALL of that prep work is done and you have concluded that your table/index design is correct then go back to work on writing a script/procedure that will produce (not execute) DDL to produce the main table and partitioning you designed.
    Just an aside on what you posted. The indexes should be created AFTER the table and its partitions are created. If you are creating your local index first, as you post suggests, you are forcing Oracle to revamp it 1800 times when each partition is added. Just create the index after the table.
    p.s. the number of posts anyone has is irrevelant. The only thing that matters is whether the advice or suggestions they provide is helpful. And the helpfullness of those is limited to, and based on, ONLY the information a poster provides. For exampe, your proposed partitioning scheme might be perfectly appropriate for your use case or it could be totally inappropriate. We have no way of knowing without knowing WHY you chose that scheme.
    But I haven't seen one like that so it makes me suspicious that you really need to get that complicated.

  • Where is the "Application Support Folder"?

    OK, apparently, I did something stupid.
    I had both Master Collection CS4 and CS5 on my MacBook Pro. I decided to uninstall CS4. I did some research and did it the way I think I was supposed to. First, I deactivated it. Then I used the CS4 Uninstaller. So far so good.
    But, when I boot us CS5, I get the following message:
    "One or more files in the Adobe Applicatoin Support folder, necessary for running Photoshop, are missing. Please run the Photoshop installer and re-install Photoshop."
    Here's where the stupid part comes in. I am on the road and, naturally, do not have the disks to reinstall my Master Collection.
    However, here's the less stupid part. I do have a complete clone of the drive BEFORE I did the uninstall.
    So, where can I find the Application Support Folder and can I just drag it over?
    Thanks.
    sjh
    PS. I'll be on the road for a month and really need this to work.

    Anyone wishing to uninstall a previous version of Photoshop should do so BEFORE installing a newer version.  Always.
    That being said, I advice against uninstalling previous versions.

  • We paid so much for the software, and where is the help/support?

    I paid so much for my software, and when I needed help, there's no help? seriously? the only help adobe has is community help? helps from the customers to customers? where is their technical support? where is the phone for help? where is the chatline help?

    A common cause of frustration is not paying very close attention to product names, for example mixing up Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. If you say the wrong product you end up in the wrong place. Sounds as if you did that with the Chat. Details really matter, even though it is frustrating, because you need to reach the right team. 
    But we can often help here. A lot of people hang around just for that purpose, and we're a bit baffled when people don't seem to want our help.
    You ask "How do I get help when everybody got their own problem and I have mine?"
    Same as everyone....You start by describing your problem in detail - we can't start until you do. Be sure to include
    - the full product name and version
    - the operating system
    - what is happening
    - what you expect to happen instead
    - any error messages in full

  • Where is the ColdFusion support?

    I have been trying to edit existing ColdFusion files now that I am signed up to Creative Cloud. Dreamweaver CC has had all ColdFusion support removed. Even opening a ColdFusion file is annoying. I can only open it by right clicking in Finder. Checking "always open with" does not work.
    The solutions on the DreamWeaver team blog were to install ColdFusion Builder, not included in Creative Cloud, or to install Dreamweaver CS6, no longer an option in Creative Cloud.
    I assume that this is the end of ColdFusion as far as Adobe is concerned. Mind you I assume they also think that ASP and ASP.Net are no longer valid as they are no longer supported either.

    Let me preface my comments by stating I do not work for Adobe, and I don't speak for Adobe.  These are just my thoughts and opinions.
    I believe that Adobe looked at what they felt the majority of Dreamweaver users were doing with the product, and determined only a small majority were using it for ColdFusion or ASP/ASP.net, while a large portion of the user base used it for PHP.  It's probable that the majority of ASP.net developers are using an IDE for their work, and Dreamweaver is not an IDE.  Similarly, they probably felt only a minority of ColdFusion developers were using Dreamweaver (I know a few personally who do, and I used to be one of them).  However, since Adobe's ColdFusion team has developed an IDE specific to ColdFusion (ColdFusion Builder), it makes economic sense for them to no longer carry the weight of ColdFusion support in the Dreamweaver product.  ColdFusion Builder releases are directly tied to and in sync with ColdFusion releases while Dreameaver CC is not, which makes maintaining support for new releases of ColdFusion in Dreamweaver CC another headache.
    ColdFusion support has not been completely stripped from Dreamweaver (yet), though.  There are a some blog posts out there from Adobe and others that show how to get the ColdFusion support working fairly close to how it did in previous versions of Dreamweaver.
    Also, many ColdFusion developers have started using more lightweight 3rd party code/text editing tools with ColdFusion language libraries added on, such as SublimeText, Brackets/Adobe Edge Code, TextMate, Notepad++, and others.

  • Where is the continue support request form situate...

    Hi there i have just paid 5.74 for a premium account shows that it has been debited and said that i had premium account, it wont let me make a group video call and i cant find the contact support request form anywhere PLEASE can anyone help me.....thankyou in advance

    Whilst trying to buy a premium subscription package from Skype, I erroneously ticked the US + Canada box, when I wanted unlimited Europe....result....after two days of faffing about, Ive had to pay for an additional 'unlimited Europe' package...without being able to transfer the credit from the wrongly bought US + Canada package!!!
    Why does Skype make their site so user 'unfriendly?!'
    I've had to scroll laboriously through many pages to try and get a refund for the first premium package...skype will take your money quickly enough...why cant they just have a 'request cancellation/refund button on the accounts page?  it doesn't make any sense....and it causes loads of hassle....if anyone out there has an easy/any way to get my money back...please get in touch

  • Where is the Hebrew support?

    Hi Adobe,
    (please excuse my English- not a native)
    i call and call and get to an Indian agents all the time. They told me there is no Hebrew support any more
    Is this true?
    Until a month ago we had a wonderful support. there were 2 ladies there and they were the best!! we used to call all the time and always got an efficient, kind and fast service,
    the pepole in the new support CANNOT  speak proper english, the don't understand a thing i'm saying, have no Idea what Hebrew is.
    we spend hours and hours on trying to solve the issue- they keep saying they will call you back and they never do!!!!
    We are loosing money and time over something that is a minimal service for a company that charges so much for the softwares.
    This is an outrage. Not only does Adobe doesn't give us all the services- and we only have the creative cloud for teams, you charge us more then anywhere else and now we can't even get support in the language of the software???????????
    Bring back the Hebrew support yesterday!!!!!!! We are a small and tight community and if we don 't have the support that we were promissed, we will have to reconsider new ways to work!!!!
    Please give me an answer ASAP!!!!

    THANK YOU
    i don't speak good english but i write to you for adobe read it.
    i too called 1-809-344-217 and a man answer. i don't understand him and i don't know how to say my problem.
    i buy the Design Standard CS6 in shop and they say- this is number for support in hebrew. but no support in hebrew
    i called shop and they say- support now in india in english.
    how can it be? our money is not good for adobe? we don't also need support?
    if no hebrew, i will bring back to the shop.

    From the documentation I have read their is supposed to be https support so I wouldn't need to vpn first to have a 'secure' connection.  So far I haven't seen anything in the setup referring to https.  Is it there and I am missing it or a future add on? Thanks.

    I am not really sure if HTTPS is supported by the said camera. I suggest contacting Cisco Tech support to further look into your concern. I believe this unit belongs to the business series devices that Cisco is now supporting. Try to go to this link for the other business series devices and the site where you can get hold of Cisco for support:
