RE: dual

2003-10-30 Thread Karniotis, Stephen
If you did not commit the inserts to dual, then everyone will only see one
row.

If you committed the data and still one row appeared, then you must have a
row defined for dual.  

Suggestion:  Don't add more rows to dual if you value your dba life.

Thank You

List, here is a rtfm question which I was scared to ask, but its
bothering me too much so I just can't stay quite :

why do multiple inserts into sys.dual complete sucessfully when connected
as
sysdba, but a subsequent select * from dual show only 1 row ?

It's because we designed it that way.  In earlier releases (can't remember
the specific version we brought this in with), you could put more than one
row in DUAL and then select them all, but all the things that should have
returned only one row then failed with a 1403 (?) error - single row query
returning more than one row.  I remember well way way back in time before I
joined Oracle having the fun of trying to debug why all our clients apps
failed the night after we let a manager do the database maintenance.  The
forms that the apps used all included the date and time on the screen, and
of course the manager had somehow ended up with two rows in DUAL, hence
the failure.  Very simple to address, by just deleting the extra row (and of
course, never letting that manager do database maintenance again!).

In due course, Oracle realized that DUAL was a special table and built into
the kernel the functionality you mention to ensure that only one row is ever
returned and hence those types of problems should not occur any more.

Re: dual

You may find this interesting.

Looks like a 'where rownum = 1' is always imposed on dual.

Same results on 8.1.7.4 and 9.2.0.4

Don't try this on anything other than a trashable test database.

RE: dual

2003-10-30 Thread Karniotis, Stephen









I have seen many databases crash, yes crash, when
dual had more than one row or less than one? 



Why you say?
As someone pointed out, this was an internal table to the kernel so
Oracle used it as they felt. It
was and still is considered a heartbeat mechanism within the kernel. In other words, dont mess with it.

RE: dual

2003-10-30 Thread M Rafiq
I have observed  2 rows in dual till version 7.3.4. All application using 
dual in their logic having more than 2 rows were giving wrong results. Quick 
fix was to track it and delete more than one row(s).  Duplicate import of 
sys/system stuff were known to be culprit.

I have seen many databases crash, yes crash, when dual had more than one row
or less than one?
Why you say?  As someone pointed out, this was an internal table to the
kernel so Oracle used it as they felt.  It was and still is considered a
heartbeat mechanism within the kernel.  In other words, don't mess with it.

You may find this interesting.

Looks like a 'where rownum = 1' is always imposed on dual.

Same results on 8.1.7.4 and 9.2.0.4

Don't try this on anything other than a trashable test database.

for the answers to some of your questions below.  I think it's safe to say 
that DUAL is a rather 'magic' table.  The normal rules for DML don't work 
on it; I'd not even posit that 'rownum  1' is in there anywhere.  More 
likely it's intercepted by the optimizer and treated specially, without 
any actual data access, in certain contexts.

Re: DUAL

2002-12-17 Thread Jared . Still
The same thing happened to me as well.

There were 2 rows in dual, and it caused some really
strange problems with Oracle Financials. 

The support tech and Oracle knew his stuff, and had
me check it.  I have no idea how 2 rows came to be
in dual, but it sure was a mess.

Howdy, 

I believe that truncating DUAL has also been
 known to leave developers 
scratching their head.  Of course I could never
 recommend 
that anyone try 
it though.

I remember when you had a weird application problem, one of the
first thing Oracle support ask you to check is the dual table to
see if it's got more than one row in it.
Don't know if they are still doing that.

RE: DUAL Was: Consulting Position Available-Oracle DBA/Developer/

2002-09-20 Thread Orr, Steve

Ditto for PostgreSQL. For portability you can create a dual table but you
have to ensure that it only has one row. ;-)   I finding that portability
between PostgreSQL and Oracle is easier than most... same to_date, to_char
functions, and stuff. Seems like that's part of Postgres' strategy.

As well as in MySQL

There is no need for such table in SQL Server.
If you need, you do just:

select 'whatever'

without from clause.

We are using PostgreSQL, but still have problems with statistics.
Sometimes after VACUUM ANALYZE optimizer doesn't use indexes

 There is no need for such table in SQL Server.
 If you need, you do just:
 
 select 'whatever'
 
 without from clause.

get the same statistics as were in the article, but sometimes I also get 1

really makes me want to change over to X$DUAL. Also, what is the consensus

Title: RE: DUAL revisited

 From: Kathy Duret [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]
 
 But I don't get this error when I query from dual just from 
 the new v$dual.


That's because your v$dual view is assessing a SYS.X$ table. To do an explain plan on a SYS.X$ table you have to be signed on as SYS. A more knowledgeable person may be able to tell you why.




Re: DUAL revisited

2002-08-02 Thread Tim Gorman

Correct.  DUAL is a table owned by SYS for which SELECT permissions have
been granted to PUBLIC.  V$DUAL is a view on a special fixed table named
X$DUAL.  The SELECT permissions here are granted on the *view*; they cannot
be granted on a fixed table (i.e. X$ table).  So, you're queries succeed
because they are querying the view, which is able to query the fixed table
because the view belongs to SYS and inherits the permissions of SYS (i.e.
definer's rights).  However, EXPLAIN PLAN tries to access the underlying
table and fails, because you are running EXPLAIN PLAN as a user other than
SYS...

  I've been reading the thread on DUAL vs X$DUAL, read the referenced
 article
  and tried some testing on our system. I do a simple select from DUAL and
I
  get the same statistics as were in the article, but sometimes I also get
1
  memory sort. Does anyone know why this would be? And if this is true,
that
  really makes me want to change over to X$DUAL. Also, what is the
consensus
  about creating a view for DUAL that references X$DUAL? I'm running the
  Oracle Application and cannot change all of their code to use something
  other than DUAL, and there is a lot of it.
 
  Here are the statistics on the select. Notice the difference between the
