Hi does any one know how to check if a given DB object (Table/View/SP/Function) is used inside Oracle.
For example to check if the table "A" is used in any SP/Function or View definitions. I am trying to cleanup unused objects in the database.
I tried the query select * from all_source WHERE TEXT like '%A%' (A is the table name). Do you thing it is safe to assume it is not being used if it does not return any results?
From this ASKTOM question:
You'll have to enable auditing and then come back in 3 months to see.
We don't track this information by default -- also, even with auditing, it may be very
possible to have an object that is INDIRECTLY accessed (eg: via a foreign key for
example) that won't show up.
You can try USER_DEPENDENCIES but that won't tell you about objects referenced by code in
client apps or via dynamic sql
There's code in the thread for checking ALL_SOURCE, but it's highlighted that this isn't a silver bullet.

(access key for SAP standard modifications needed for test data of this question)
Introduction:
I want to find a certain type of modification to a certain SAP standard repository object (IDES test dataset).
The modification is located in the include of a function group (it is listed under System-defined Include-files in the functionpool of the function group).
So far, I found the table SMODILOG as a central list of modifications (Log of Customer Modifications to Dev. Env. Objects).
Test Data:
My test data is function group V07A, that has e.g. the include LV07A014 (Part of the LV07ANNN include). This was modified by inserting stuff in its source code (one needs an access key in order to be allowed to do this) such as:
*{ INSERT IDSEXAMPLE 1
* this is a comment, which was added
*} INSERT
Goal:
Subsequently I want to find a table where all modifications like this are listed. I want to find the place of modification, i.e. the object type and program id of the object that was modified.
2 Questions:
I realize that the SAP standard include of a function group has a different object type and program ID than the top-include and uxx-includes.
Whereas the latter are of type PROG and prgmid R3TR (found in object catalog entry), the LV07A014 has an object catalog entry identical to the function group that it belongs to, namely R3TR FUGR. This is already peculiar to me. This seems to me as if the resolution to the sub-level (include level) is missing.
In addition, the modification to LV07A014 is listed in table SMODILOG as having the object type (field sub_type) REPS (the pgmid is not included in SMODILOG). I would expect PROG, as for the other inclueds (LTOP, LUXX).
-> Why is there a difference of object types, programids between L_TOP, L_UXX on the one hand and L_NNN Inclues on the other? (Or am I mistaken?)
-> Where can I find information of all SAP standard modifications in my system and the true object type,pgmid belonging to these modified objects (and not the function group that the modified object belongs to, this resolution does not suffice)?
There is no table or something similar where all modifications are listed. The table E071 is a good source to check pgmid and object type.
Why there is a difference of object types, program IDs between L_TOP, L_UXX on the one hand and L_NNN Includes on the other remains a mystery. SAP...
Why do you need a table? For what? Is it purely academic question or connected with real life tasks?
Have you ever tried SE95 transaction? It lists all modifications that were done in system disregard of object type and name. Yes, and function groups too. They are easily searchable by hierarchy
If it is FUGR include that was modified, then it will be listed in the node Outside of modularization units
Finally RTFM, bro...
I'm new into AS400 and I got a job where I'm using AS400 and Powerlink (XA) to access and manage big ERP data. And I found a way to access the data through Excel VBA and SQL using the System I Nagivator tables.
My problem is that I can't find the correct Schemas>Tables in Navigator to feed the excel VBA that matches the data that I want in AS400.
Question: let's say I want to find the price for an item, and I want to find the price table in Navigator. Is there a way in AS400 to get the price table name that matches the same table in Navigator ?
This is my first question please let me know if more information is needed.
Please help, thank you!
First a little terminology, AS/400 is an old term, the current name for the Platform and OS that used to be called AS/400 is now IBM i on Power Systems. IBM i is the OS. (that is until IBM changes the name again)
If You Know the Table Name but not the IBM i Object Name
On IBM i, the database is built into the OS and many of the OS objects are in fact database objects. Here is how some of the SQL concepts map to IBM i terms.
SQL IBM i
-------------- ------------------
Schema Library
Table Physical file
Index Logical file
View Logical file
Row Record
Column Field
Unfortunately in IBM i, object names are limited to 10 characters. SQL names on the other hand can be up to 128 characters. You won't find a Physical file named CustomerMaster. DB2 maps that long name to a system name. You can find the system name by querying the catalog like this:
select system_schema_name, system_table_name
from qsys2.systables
where table_name = 'Navigator name'
The column TABLE_NAME will hold the long SQL name of the table, SYSTEM_TABLE_NAME will hold the IBM i object name. Note that long schema names can be mapped to system names as well. The column SCHEMA_NAME holds the long SQL name of the schema while SYSTEM_SCHEMA_NAME holds the IBM i library name. It is uncommon for schema names to be longer than 10 characters, so the two schema name columns are typically the same.
If You Know the Program Name, and Have Access to the Source
This may be obvious to you, but I am putting it here just for completeness. You can look in the source for the files being used, and back track from the screen field to the file.
If You Only Have A Green Screen
You can retrieve the open files for the current job if you have the appropriate authority. If this doesn't work for you, you will have to get help from your system administrator, or someone who does have authority. This will only get you candidate files though, and likely they are logical files. To do this, you are going to have to have authority to view your job, and you will have to know how the system request key is mapped to your keyboard (that is implementation specific, and may be customized, so you will have to check with someone inside your company or your emulator to determine that).
With that behind us, start the green screen program that shows the price field you are looking for. Then press the system request key. If you are configured to allow this, you will get an input line on the bottom of your screen, and the cursor will be positioned to it.
Press Enter.
You should now be in the System Request menu.
Select option 3 and press enter again. You should be in the Display Job screen for your current job.
If this all worked correctly for you, then option 12 will show you the files that your job currently has a lock on. That is, the files that are open for your job. The price field should be in one of them.
I updated a simple Access select query, adding four fields from the single table the query uses. When I then attempted to edit data in the form that references that query, Access did not allow any edits. After poking around at other possible edit rights problems I went back to the query design, and saw this:
The table CC_Tracker_1 does not exist in the database, nor is there a query by that name, as you can see in the object list:
In the design view, CC_Tracker_1 displays as an exact copy of CC_Tracker. Additionally, the four fields I added had CC_Tracker_1 listed as their table of origin.
Deleting CC_Tracker_1 from the query and re-adding the fields from CC_Tracker fixed the problem, but I'm very curious as to how this could happen.
Edit to add: This is the SQL Access generated. As you can see the alias it created isn't used anywhere in the code except in the variable list. Why it would do this is still the question:
SELECT CC_Tracker.LAST_NAME, CC_Tracker.FIRST_NAME, CC_Tracker.MRN, CC_Tracker.RIN,
CC_Tracker.SUBSCRIBER_ID, CC_Tracker.ASSIGNED, CC_Tracker.Letter, CC_Tracker.[1stCall],
CC_Tracker.CHRA, CC_Tracker.[ICP/Review], CC_Tracker.F2F, CC_Tracker.ICTCont,
CC_Tracker.ICTSheet, CC_Tracker.ICP2MD, CC_Tracker.SigPg, CC_Tracker.HTR_1st_cont,
CC_Tracker.HTR_2nd_cont, CC_Tracker.HTR_3rd_cont, CC_Tracker.HTR_Letter,
CC_Tracker.CLOSE, CC_Tracker.Comments, CC_Tracker.CHRA_Next, CC_Tracker.ICP_Next,
CC_Tracker.F2F_Next, CC_Tracker.ICT_Next, CC_Tracker_1.Final_Follow, CC_Tracker_1.BH_SA,
CC_Tracker_1.Readmitter, CC_Tracker_1.CCM, CC_Tracker.ASSIGNED_CARE_COORDINATOR, CC_Tracker.Final_Follow
FROM CC_Tracker, CC_Tracker AS CC_Tracker_1
WHERE (((CC_Tracker.ASSIGNED_CARE_COORDINATOR)=[Forms]![frmCoord_Selector]![cmbCoords]))
OR (((([CC_Tracker].[ASSIGNED_CARE_COORDINATOR])
Like [Forms]![frmCoord_Selector]![cmbCoords]) Is Null));
If you look at the SQL that is generated for the query, you will see that it has created an alias called CC_Tracker_1 for the CC_Tracker table.
Your query may need to be rewritten to exclude this alias, and any incorrect joins.
If you post the actual query generated, we will be able to help fix it.
I just started to use Pentaho Kettle for integration. Seems great so far, quite intuitive compared to Talend, which I was also investigating.
I am trying to migrate some customers without their keys. So I have their email addresses.
The customer may already exist in the database, so what I need to do is:
If the customer exists, add it's id to the imported field and continue.
But if the customer doesn't exist I need to get the next Hibernate key from the table Hibernate_Sequences and set it as the id.
But I don't want to always allocate a key, so I want to conditionally execute a step to allocate the next key.
So what I want to do, is in the flow execute the db procedure, which allocates the next key and returns it, only if there's no value in id from the "lookup id" step.
Is this possible?
Just posting my updated flow - so the answer was to use a filter rows component which splits the data on true/false. I really had trouble getting the id out of the database stored proc because of a bug, so I had to use decimal and then convert back to integer (which I also couldn't figure out how to do, so used a javascript component).
Yes it is. As per official documentation (i left only valuable information) "Lookup values are added as new fields onto the stream". So u need just to put step "Filter row" in Flow section and check for "id" which suppose to be added in "Existing Id Lookup" step.
I'm a bit of a newbie with the workings of phpmyadmin. I have a database and now there are 2 parts within it - the original tables jos_ and the same again but with a different prefix, say let's ****_ that will be the finished database.
This has come about because I am upgrading my Joomla 1.5 site to 2.5. I used a migration tool for the bulk of the new database but one particular piece of information did not transfer because the new database has a different structure.
I want to copy the entire contents of jos_content, attribs, keyref= across to ****_content, metadata, "xreference"."VALUE" if that makes sense. This will save manually typing in the information contained within 1000s of articles.
jos_content, attribs currently contains
show_title=
link_titles=
show_intro=
show_section=
link_section=
show_category=
link_category=
show_vote=
show_author=
show_create_date=
show_modify_date=
show_pdf_icon=
show_print_icon=
show_email_icon=
language=
keyref=41.126815,0.732623
readmore=
****_content, metadata currently contains
{"robots":"all","author":""}
but I want it to end up like this
{"robots":"","author":"","rights":"","xreference":"41.126815,0.732623","marker":""}
Could anyone tell me the SQL string that I would need to run to achieve this please?
If it makes any difference I have manually changed about 300 of these articles already and thought there must be a better way.
Edit: Being nervous of trying this I would like to try and find the exact syntax (if that's the right word) for the SQL Query to run.
The value I want to extract from the source table is just, and only, the numbers next to keyref= and I want them to turn up in the destination table prefixed by "xreference". - so it shows "xreference"."VALUE" with VALUE being the required numbers. There is also an entry - ,"marker":"" that is in the destination table so I guess the Query needs to produce that as well?
Sorry for labouring this but if I get it wrong, maybe by guessing what to put, I don't really have the knowledge to put it all right again....
Thanks.
Please Try it
insert into tableone(column1,column2) select column1,column2 from Tablesecond
if You have not Table another Daabase Then This query
select * into anyname_Table from tablesource
