Re: better delete statement to remove duplicate rows from exception

2003-12-11 Thread Dias Costa
Hi,

You can do this:

delete
from  orders o1
where rowid(select  max(rowid)
  from  orders o2
  where o1.order_id = o2.order_id
  group   by  order_id
  having   count(order_id)  1);
Obviously you cand firstly do a select statment (on a limited set of data),
instead of a delete statement, just to be sure it works as expected.


Best regards
Dias Costa

In the situation below, is there a better way to write the delete statement that eliminates duplicates? (assuming duplicate rows form at most 5 % of the table rows) Notice that the exceptions table is not analyzed.

If I analyze the exceptions table, is there then another better way to write it?

create table my_exceptions
 (row_id urowid,
  owner varchar2 (30),
  table_name varchar2 (30),
  constraint varchar2 (30)
 );
create table orders
  (order_id   number (8) not null,
   order_date date,
   constraint orders_uq1 unique (order_id) disable
  ) ;
/* -- load table orders with millions of rows */
create index orders_idx1
on orders (order_id) ;
analyze table orders estimate statistics sample 10 percent ;
alter table orders
  enable constraint orders_uq1
  exceptions into my_exceptions ;
delete
from orders a
where
  a.rowid in
(select d.delete_row_id
  from
   (select
   min (b.row_id) over (partition by c.order_id) as keep_row_id,
   b.row_id as delete_row_id
 from my_exceptions b, orders c
 where c.rowid = b.row_id
 group by c.order_id, b.row_id
   ) d
  where
d.delete_row_id != d.keep_row_id
) ;
commit ;
alter table orders
  enable constraint orders_uq1 ;
truncate table my_exceptions ;

Yes, exactly Stephane -

Non-printable characters like this are a proper pest in our environment, to
the extent that I have exception reports running every night looking for
them (cannot trust the users...).
I have a small PL/SQL piece of code used to detect these things, if anyone
wants it.

Steve,

 If you are patient, I guess that something like

  where dump(problem_column) like '%target hex%'

should more or less answer your question.

Re: Fwd: A problem

2001-11-22 Thread Dias Costa

Hi !


May be this will help you (I hope).
This solution is for Windows (X) but 
with some work it will do also in UNIX.



A procedure called BackupOSC is created by 
the DBA in his schema.
A job is created with at command, invoking
the batch command file backup_OSC.cmd wich 
in turn calls SQLPLUSW to run the above procedure.
The outcome is a batch command file called exp_OSC.cmd
wich is invoked by the firts batch file to perform the
real export.

The secret is to use the SQL to create the second file
since DOS hasn't the ability to handle strings.


The example files are within an attached zip file.
The file exp_Ora.ftp is a parameter file for to FTP 
the DMP files to other machine.
If you find some strange words in the files, they are 
Portuguese.


Hope it helps.
Dias Costa


P.S.:   My apologies for I have sent the files unziped.

   tremendously.  If you have an interest in hosting your website (personal
 or
   business) with us, -or- a want to start a new mailing list, please
 contact
   me for details.
  
   I know this is a lot to ask of you folks.  You are entirely welcome to
 just
   tell me to jump in a lake, and that that's how business is right now.
 But
   I
   know many of you personally, either from ODTUG conferences or from other
   Oracle events, and I also know how staunchly you support this mailing
 list
   with useful information, humor, helpfulness and an eye toward quality.
 I
   would like to think that you find Fat City to be the best place to host
   your
   list, and that you will want to help me out so that I can continue to
   provide the list to you folks free of charge.  I made a promise to Jared
   years ago to host this list for free because I think it is one of the
 best
   and most valuable resources out there.  I intend to honor that promise
 to
   him by continuing to provide it for free.  If it turns out that I must
   close
   shop and call it quits, at least I will have known I did my best to make
 it
   succeed, and I did so without having to reneg on committments I had
   made in the past.
  
   I am being open and honest with everyone because I believe that this is
 the
   best way to succeed.  I believe you appreciate this kind of approach,
 and I
   want you to know that regardless of what happens, I certainly appreciate
   every consideration you give this request.  Whether or not this
 succeeds, I
   know that you are a great group of people and I wish this list the best
   luck
   in this life, or the next. :-)
  
   Remember, time is of the essence.  The sooner I hear from people who
   can help, the sooner I can nail down a line of approach.  If you have
 any
   questions or concerns, please E-mail me.
