Hello, I have an empty table that previously had a large amount of rows. The table has about 10 columns and indexes on many of them, as well as indexes on multiple columns. DELETE FROM item WHERE 1=1 This takes approximately 40 seconds to complete SELECT * FROM item this takes 4 seconds. The execution plan of SELECT * FROM ITEM ...
When I try to create a unique index on a large table, I get a unique contraint error. The unique index in this case is a composite key of 4 columns. Is there an efficient way to identify the duplicates other than : select col1, col2, col3, col4, count(*) from Table1 group by col1, col2, col3, col4 having count(*) > 1 The explain pla...

I've got an SQL-script executed by SQL*Plus, that needs to run with Oracle 10g and Oracle 11g. That script gives grants on a package that does not exist before 11g: GRANT EXECUTE ON sys.dbms_result_cache TO my_user; I would like to avoid the exception on 10g, since I want to react to other exceptions in the script. One way is to u...
How would I store the result of a select statement so I can reuse the results with an in clause for other queries? Here's some pseudo code: declare ids <type?>; begin ids := select id from table_with_ids; select * from table1 where id in (ids); select * from table2 where id in (ids); end; ... or will the optimizer do this for ...
I am trying to build an Oracle stored procedure which will accept a table name as a parameter. The procedure will then rebuild all indexes on the table. My problem is I get an error while using the ALTER command from a stored procedure, as if PLSQL does not allow that command. ...
I have a script that makes use of a package (PKG_MY_PACKAGE). I will change some of the fields in a query in that package and then recompile it (I don't change or compile any other packages). I run the script and I get an error that looks like ORA-04068: existing state of packages has been discarded ORA-04061: existing state o...
I have some oracle calls that I am porting. Today I came across this code which looks like "procedural" language, but is not declared in a function or anything... My question is: Can postgres handle this in this form? What form does this need to be in? DECLARE BEGIN IF :start_time IS NULL OR :start_date IS NULL OR :end...
Unfortunately most of my DB experience has been with MSSQL which tends to hold your hand a lot more than Oracle. What I'm trying to do is fairly trivial in tSQL, however, pl/sql is giving me a headache. I have the following procedure: CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE USPX_GetUserbyID (USERID USERS.USERID%TYPE, USERRECORD OUT XMLTYPE) AS...
Hello there, First: Thanks! I finished my other project and the big surprise: now everything works as it should :-) Thanks to some helpful thinkers of SO! So here I go with the next project. I'd like to get something like this: SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE field1=content AND field2=content2 ... As you noticed this can be a very...
Hi, I have two cursors in my procedure that only differ on the table name that they join to. The cursor that is used is determined by a parameter passed into the procedure if (param = 'A') then DECLARE CURSOR myCursor IS SELECT x,y,z FROM table1 a, table2 b BEGIN FOR aRecord in myCursor LOOP p...

I'm using Oracle object data types to represent a timespan or period. And I've got to do a bunch of operations that involve working with collections of periods. Iterating over collections in SQL is significantly faster than in PL/SQL. CREATE TYPE PERIOD AS OBJECT ( beginning DATE, ending DATE, ... some member functions...); C...
I need to compare the value of a column (LASTNAME) with a system variable (:VARIABLE), but the variable is an email address, so I need to trim off the "@email.com" and "firstname."
