intermedia text and dbms_job problem

2003-10-08 Thread Bill Tantzen
OK, I know I must be doing something wrong, would somebody please point
out what it is?  I would like to set up a job to sync an intermedia text
index.  Here is my job:

  SQL select what from all_jobs where job = 2;
  WHAT
  -
  ctx_ddl.sync_index ( 'ctx_xml_text' );

I can execute the procedute from the command line like so:

  SQL execute ctx_ddl.sync_index ( 'ctx_xml_text' );
  PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

But the job itself fails:

  SQL execute dbms_job.run ( 2 );
  BEGIN dbms_job.run ( 2 ); END;

  *
  ERROR at line 1:
  ORA-12011: execution of 1 jobs failed
  ORA-06512: at SYS.DBMS_IJOB, line 405
  ORA-06512: at SYS.DBMS_JOB, line 267
  ORA-06512: at line 1


in my init.ora I have:
  job_queue_processes = 4
  job_queue_interval = 60

I am in the ctxapp role, and ctxsys has granted me execute on ctx_ddl.
The only other job works just fine.

OS=Solaris, Version=8.1.7

What the heck is going on?

Thanks in advance,
Bill

this is a bug..infact it was happening in 8i and oracle said they will try to fix in 9i.
u have to call the procedure in the ur job and embed the sync index in ur procedure.
here is a snippet.u can try this way.

create or replace procedure i_doc_sync 
 is 
 begin 
 ctx_ddl.sync_index( idx_name = 'prb_title'); 
 end; 

declare 
 v_job number; 
 begin 
 dbms_job.submit( job=v_job, what='i_doc_sync;', next_date=sysdate, interval='sysdate+1/24'); 
 end; 

that should work

indexing PDF's using intermedia (8.1.7), not happening

2003-07-30 Thread rahul sharma



List, 

I have installed intermedia, and been using it for 
the last couple of weeks without nay problems,
recently, after uploading a PDF documents in the 
blob column, i found out that the contents of PDF's are
not being indexed !!! i have tried sync the index 
also.. all the other formats (word,ppt' etc) are indexed
automatically (m running the ctxsrv) 

the ctxsys.ctx_index_errors tables show the 
following error when i try to index...

DRG-11101: failed to open file 
C:\WINNT\TEMP\drgut27 

i have searched metalink, and it says to create a 
new filter.. i did that too.. 

SQL exec 
ctx_ddl.create_preference('myfilter', 'USER_FILTER'); 
SQL exec 
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('myfilter', 'command', 'auto_filt.bat');

SQL create index idx_documents on 
documents(blob_content)INDEXTYPE is ctxsys.contextparameters 
('filter myfilter section group ctxsys.html_section_group');

but still the PDF's do not appear in index !!!, all 
metalink docs point to ORA_HOME/ctx/bin directory !!
but i could not locate the directory on my NT 
server !!! very wierd indeed... 

again.. the indexing works for all other formats... 
other than PDF's 

TIA

Rahul

Re: create interMedia index problem

2003-03-28 Thread JApplewhite

Guang,

Is your RESINDEX tablespace a Locally-Managed Tablespace with Uniform
Extents of less than 3 database blocks?  If so, that's your problem.
InterMedia indexes consist of some LOB segments and those require extents
of at least 3 database blocks - at least in 8i.

If not, I don't know.

Intermedia tag problem

2003-03-28 Thread Luc Demanche
Hi Gurus,

We are working with Intermedia Text 8.1.6.
We created a intermedia index on a search field.  We
also created 2 sections in this field.

Table name : S01
Filed name : S01_search
Sections name : SY,MAN

Here is an example of data in this field:
SYCyane/SYMANPhibro Energy  */MAN
This example works fine.  

But we have a problem when there is a  character in
the data. 

Intermedia thinks it's a new tag and tries to find a
section but it cannot.
Exemple:
SYCyane  10 /SYMANPhibro Energy  */MAN

Question :  
1- Should we do something with the  in our data ?

TIA 
Luc

Hi,
You will have to change your input data and replace the  with lt;.
This is one of the standard 5 XML entity references. Really you need to make
sure that you have no double quotes, single quotes, less than , greater than
or ampersands in your data and if you do replace then with the appropriate
entity reference:

 - amp;
 - quot;
' - apos;
 - lt;

Re: create interMedia index problem

2003-03-28 Thread gmei
Hi:

The problem has been fixed. It turned out that we have very big storage
clause for isistore. All these Intermedia tables will be created when
InterMedia index gets created. So it would try to allocate six 1000M initial
extents. And we don't have that many empty block in RESINDEX tablespace.

begin
ctx_ddl.create_preference('isistore', 'BASIC_STORAGE');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('isistore', 'I_TABLE_CLAUSE',
 'tablespace RESINDEX storage (initial 1000M next 500M pctincrease 0)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('isistore', 'K_TABLE_CLAUSE',
 'tablespace RESINDEX  storage (initial 1000M next 500M pctincrease 0)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('isistore', 'R_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'tablespace RESINDEX storage (initial 1000M next 500M pctincrease 0)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('isistore', 'N_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'tablespace RESINDEX storage (initial 1000M next 500M pctincrease 0)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('isistore', 'I_INDEX_CLAUSE',
'tablespace RESINDEX storage (initial 1000M next 500M pctincrease 0)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('isistore', 'P_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'tablespace RESINDEX storage (initial 1000M next 500M pctincrease 0)');
end;

So I run the following to reduce the initial setting to 100M. After that
everything is OK.

begin
-- ctx_ddl.create_preference('isistore', 'BASIC_STORAGE');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('isistore', 'I_TABLE_CLAUSE',
 'tablespace RESINDEX storage (initial 100M next 100M pctincrease 0)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('isistore', 'K_TABLE_CLAUSE',
 'tablespace RESINDEX  storage (initial 100M next 100M pctincrease 0)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('isistore', 'R_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'tablespace RESINDEX storage (initial 100M next 100M pctincrease 0)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('isistore', 'N_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'tablespace RESINDEX storage (initial 100M next 100M pctincrease 0)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('isistore', 'I_INDEX_CLAUSE',
'tablespace RESINDEX storage (initial 100M next 100M pctincrease 0)');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('isistore', 'P_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'tablespace RESINDEX storage (initial 100M next 100M pctincrease 0)');
end;

interMedia Textkey (DRG-10826)

2003-02-12 Thread Gary Chambers
All...

One more submission to see if there are any takers, then I'll stop
nagging and keep looking...

I'm running Oracle 8.1.6 on Solaris 8.

Will someone please help me understand the Textkey parameter in
the ctx_doc.themes function?  I am receiving a DRG-10826 error on:

exec
ctx_doc.themes('ctx_webdocs', 1, 'MYTHEMES', 1, full_themes = TRUE);

The index is on a BLOB column that, for the moment, contains only
textual data (not that it really matters, anyway).  I don't understand
the relationship of the textkey to the table and/or index.  Any help is
greatly appreciated.

TIA!!

I don't know how big your Indexes are but ...
I drop the Index and create with NOPOPULATE and then do a CTX_DDL.SYNC_INDEX

So, has anyone run across this error before?  I'd hate to think I'm not able

Interesting idea, Hemant!  It's not perfect, but it's a better alternative
than either the ORA-29863 or populating the index on the rebuild.

Jesse,
since you o have such a good experience, could you please comment on the following:
I have installed InterMedia Text (8.1.7 on Win2K sp.2)  and 400MB has grown to 4.5 GB.
There are 4 required indices, two for each table - on English and French version of 
varchar2(2000). Number of data base objects (user + ctxsys schemas) is 4 times larger.
Search is perfect, inserts are using 100% CPU and killing the server.

What have I done wrong? Do you have any idea? By the way, I have read TFM.

I don't think it's really that big of a step.  Until a rewrite of our
3rd-party inventory system (i.e. we didn't write the damn thing), we have to
rely on part description stored in two separate tables (don't ask!) in order
to search for parts.

By installing and adding a Context/Intermedia/Text/whateverthehell index,
we've gone from a two-table FTS (200K total rows on moderately wide tables)
to sub-second index access.  The difficulties in getting to this point are:

1)  Understanding Oracle Text concepts.  Read the book!

2)  Being able to change the SQL to use the OText special CONTAINS clause.

3)  Understanding the data to be able to setup your thesaurus correctly.

4)  Determining if/when to rebuild the index.

It took me about a week of research and testing before installing and using
it (of course that week's work was spread over three weeks!), and a day or
two of tweaks afterwards.  In my case, I needed to also create some
replication-like triggers and tables to combine data from our two tables
into a single, indexable, searchable table.

Fire it up!  We've been pretty happy with the results (except when a user
wants to return every row with a Z in the string...sigh).

GL!  :)

Unfortunately Inka, I don't know if I can help you.  There are so many other
people on this list that are much more adept at perf tuning than I, it ain't
even funny.  Our single OText index only takes up 70MB total, and the
indexed column has very low maintenance with less than 50 inserts/updates
per day (no deletes).  This is fine for a 6-way HP K570, even though the
CPUs are only 200Mhz PA-RISC.

If I had to guess, though, I'd say most folks here would have you start with
a thourough 10046 trace on the SQL.

Oracle InterMedia/Blob,Clob

2002-09-25 Thread Omar Khalid/IT/LotusCert/Pk


Hi Experts,

Oracle interMedia enables Oracle8i to manage image, audio, video
in an integrated fashion with other enterprise information. This
means that complex multimedia data can be stored, retrieved,
and manipulated by Oracle8i in the same fashion as traditional
relational data using data types ORDAudio, ORDImage and ORDVideo.
Using JDeveloper i can quickly  easily build JSP applications using these
data
types for storing , retrieving and manipulating image, audio and video
files.

My questions is how can we achieve the same results with  document formats
which contain text like *.pdf , *.doc , *.ppt etc ??. I suspect we can use
BLOB
or CLOB data types to store them but then how the be  retrieved and
manipulated
using web based applications developed using JDeveloper?  Kindly recommend
any
web links or share u'r experience in handling document formats which
contain
text like *.pdf , *.doc , *.ppt stored in Blobs or Clobs and accessed using
web applications.

TIA

The interMedia Text option certainly handles PDF, DOC  PPT.  I believe 
JDeveloper is pretty well integrated with interMedia Text, so I suspect 
that it does what you're looking for.

interMedia Text

2002-08-12 Thread MCUK

Dear List,
We have :- Solaris SunOs 5.8, Oracle 8.1.7
I have created three databases using the dbassist tool and I included, as
one of the installation options, InterMedia.
Having read the installation guides (including post installation for Oracle
InterMedia) and the Oracle interMedia Text - 8.1.5 Overview  Post
Installation Setup I have the following questions :-
1) Having amended the listener.ora and tnsnames.ora files I'm not sure
if I have done this correctly because the Post Installation Setup refers
to adding ONE entry (for extproc_connection_data) in the tnsnames.ora file
for A database.
But I have three, so I have entered this SID specific info. three times, is
this correct ?
2) Having amended the listener.ora file to contain three extra entries is
this correct ?
3) I remember one of the NET8 classes I took, where the instructor insisted
that we amend these files with great caution and in particular to the layout
of entries. e.g. the number of spaces etc. etc. Well the new entries I added
don't conform exactly to the already existing entries, here is a snip of my
listener.ora file
SID_LIST_LISTENER   (SID_LIST (SID_DESC   (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
  (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7)
  (PROGRAM = extproc)
)
(SID_DESC   (GLOBAL_DBNAME = RATREP)
  (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7)
  (SID_NAME = RATREP)
)
(SID_DESC   (GLOBAL_DBNAME = CQPROD01)
  (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7)
  (SID_NAME = CQPROD01)
)
(SID_DESC   (GLOBAL_DBNAME = CQTEST01)
  (ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7)
  (SID_NAME = CQTEST01)
)
 (SID_DESC = (SID_NAME = ep_agt1)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7)
(ENVS = LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1
7/ctx/lib)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
(SID_DESC = (SID_NAME = ep_agt2)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7)
(ENVS = LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1
7/ctx/lib)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
(SID_DESC = (SID_NAME = ep_agt3)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7)
(ENVS = LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1
7/ctx/lib)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
  )
You can see that the SID_DESC entries layout are slightly different that
those earlier, is this OK?

Thanks in advance, and sorry in advance if any of the above questions are
dumb, but I'm a bit stuck on this!

best regards,

Ron

Re: interMedia Text

2002-08-12 Thread Hemant K Chitale


As you are running 8.1.7 you should not need the extproc_connection_data
entry.  What you need is that the LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib
in the environment *before* you start the Listener.
The listener.ora entries are the regular entries for the database SIDs.

intermedia - create and drop synonyms

2002-07-16 Thread Daniel Garant








Hi, 

I'm having problems with intermedia for synonyms in the thesaurus. Here a list
of request that I execute and that order and their results: 

select ctx_thes.SYN('disease','gdermthes_md') from DUAL; 
{DISEASE}|{SICKNESS}|{MALADIE1} 

execute CTX_THES.DROP_RELATION('gdermthes_md','DISEASE','SYN','maladie1'); 

select ctx_thes.SYN('disease','gdermthes_md') from DUAL; 
{DISEASE} 

execute CTX_THES.CREATE_RELATION('gdermthes_md','maladie1','SYN','DISEASE'); 

select ctx_thes.SYN('disease','gdermthes_md') from DUAL; 
{DISEASE}|{SICKNESS}|{MALADIE1} 

The problem is that when I remove the relationship between disease and
maladie1, I lose sickness as well in my synonyms for disease. On the other
hand, if I reverse the order of my parameters in the drop_relation like that: 

execute CTX_THES.DROP_RELATION('gdermthes_md','maladie1','SYN','disease'); 

If works correctly. That creates a problem for me because for every other relationship
types, it's always source term first and target term second. I'm trying to
write generic code to handle those tasks and I don't want to do a special case
for synonyms. 

Thanks for any help. 













RE: Intermedia Indexing

2002-04-26 Thread Jack C. Applewhite

Hemant,

The 8.1.6 docs (no change to this in the 8.1.7 addendum) say that only PDF
1.0, 1.1, and 1.2 formats are supported by the interMedia Text filters.

We index plain text and HTML documents (about 3 million per month) and have
had zero errors for the last two years.  We're currently on 8.1.7.3.0 under
Win2k.

RE: 8.1.7.2.5 interMedia Text Slow Sync - SOLVED

2002-01-31 Thread Jack C. Applewhite

For what seems to be the few of you who use interMedia Text, I found the
problem - it was ME. :-(

I had set (in CTX_Parameters) Max_Index_Memory to 200MB (from the default of
12.5MB) and used 200MB when I created indexes, but had overlooked
Default_Index_Memory (default of 12.5MB), which is used by
CTX_DDL.Sync_Index.

After I set Default_Index_Memory to 200MB, re-syncs jumped from about 750
CLOBs per minute to over 2,500 per minute.  Oracle was able to sort an
entire batch of 157,000 CLOBs in memory, instead of only about 8,000 at a
time - surprise, surprise with 16 times the memory available.

BTW, it didn't hurt that I spread the datafiles of the tablespaces that hold
the DR$$X segments across 2 drives, instead of just 1.  That boosted
re-syncs from 600 CLOBs per minute to 750.  I/O distribution never hurts.

We are experiencing very slow interMedia Text resyncs ( CTX_DDL.Sync_Index )
under 8.1.7.2.5 on Win2k Server.

We upgraded from 8.1.6.0.0 to 8.1.7.2.5 earlier this month (both under Win2k
Server) on essentially the same hardware.  We used to see about 700-2000
CLOB documents per second indexed under 8.1.6, but now see only about
400-800.  The low-high numbers relate to the size of the index being
sync'd - low just before we roll out a monthly partition (total 2 million
CLOBs), high just after (total 1 million CLOBs).

Query performance is better under 8.1.7 - partly because I spread the
DR$$I table across 3 drives.  By the looks of the I/O pattern, I should
spread DR$$X (the index on DR$$I table) across 2 or 3 drives as well.

Anybody have any words of wisdom as to what I can do to speed things up?

BTW, I'm curious at how 8.1.7 balances I/O.  While it's writing to the
DR$$X segment, it doesn't write to the online redo logs - it waits until
it's reading from DR$$X segment before it writes to the redo logs.  I
wonder why it doesn't do the writes to redo in parallel with the writes to
DR$$X.

So, why does the first query work and not the second one?
'stephen' exists in the searchfield as well.

Oracle Intermedia text is new to me, so any help would be appreciated,

Adding intermedia Text to 8.1.6 database

2001-12-10 Thread Witold Iwaniec

Hello

Can someone point me to documentation how to add intermedia text 
to a database in Oracle 8.1.6 (on NT)?
I installed interMedia and can use in the database created by the 
setup but would like to add it to another database on the same 
server. The documentation that I have found at OTN refers to 
running few scripts that are in %ORACLE_HOME%\ctx\admin. 
That's all clear but I don't have the ctx\lib directory and obviously the 
libctxx8.so file required to build data dictionary. 
The interMedia works in the default database - I can build index of 
type ctxsys.context, do text search so all the libraries must be 
installed. But search for file libct*.so on all my hard drives returns 
nothing. Something else must be used...

Thanks

Re: Adding intermedia Text to 8.1.6 database

2001-12-10 Thread Witold Iwaniec

Hi all

I have found my answer...

I have seen other people asking on other forums so the answer may 
help someone some day...

On NT the library is:
 %ORACLE_HOME%\bin\oractxx8.dll

Witold



 Hello
 
 Can someone point me to documentation how to add intermedia text 
 to a database in Oracle 8.1.6 (on NT)?
 I installed interMedia and can use in the database created by the 
 setup but would like to add it to another database on the same 
 server. The documentation that I have found at OTN refers to 
 running few scripts that are in %ORACLE_HOME%\ctx\admin. 
 That's all clear but I don't have the ctx\lib directory and obviously the 
 libctxx8.so file required to build data dictionary. 
 The interMedia works in the default database - I can build index of 
 type ctxsys.context, do text search so all the libraries must be 
 installed. But search for file libct*.so on all my hard drives returns 
 nothing. Something else must be used...
 
 Thanks
 
 Witold

Parsing free-form text for InterMedia indexing

2001-11-15 Thread Jesse, Rich

Hi all,

I've been struggling with trying to provide our users with a quick text
search.  InterMedia's doing OK, but I'm having trouble setting it up because
the text I'm searching is free-form data entered by several users over the
span of years.  In other words, it's a word-jumble.

For example, one indexed string might contain 25 PIN, while another
contains 25PIN, but I need to make sure that both come up in a query
without needing the user to know to enter for multiple scenarios.  How can
that be indexed in IM?  I think I want to have digits as separators, but not
in words that are only digits, e.g. I don't want 123456 to be indexed as
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

I'm also having other problems with volumninous printjoins, but I'll tackle
one problem at a time.  :)

Thx!

RE: Oracle Text (ConText/InterMedia) and realtime updates

2001-11-14 Thread Jesse, Rich

Hey Tony,

From my understanding of an Autonomous Transaction (which admittedly isn't
much), the sync would always be one update behind, correct?  Because the
auto-trans would execute the sync in the trigger body, the current
update/insert of the indexed column that caused the trigger to fire would
not be committed at the time of sync.  Or am I missing something here?

I glanced at the Catalog Index feature and methinks it deserves smore
investigation.  Thanks!

I would suggest researching an Autonomous Transaction fired from the trigger
to get around the commit executed by CTX_DDL.SYNC_INDEX.
Another approach I would pursue is to evaluate the use of Catalog Indexes
(8.1.7).  If your requirements fit within the catalog index limitations
(more like an Intermedia Text-lite) then you are in luck since they are
transactional, hence no need for periodic synchronization.

RE: Oracle Text (ConText/InterMedia) and realtime updates

2001-11-14 Thread Jesse, Rich

So, I fire up a Catalog Index on a column with an associated column in the
index set (for ordering the results) and it comes back 10-12 times faster
than the Context Index.  The problem is that the result sets weren't the
same.  Upon investigating, I found out that catalog index searching
(catsearch) doesn't support wildcards, which we need.  Bummer!

Oh well, back to contexts.   Thanks for your input!

Oracle Text (ConText/InterMedia) and realtime updates

2001-11-13 Thread Jesse, Rich

Hey all,

So, there we are, testing out InterMedia in 8i, in the hopes of using Oracle
Text in 9i.  Is there a way to automagically update the context index
real-time?  I tried a call to CTX_DDL.SYNC_INDEX in a trigger body, but of
course the wrapped procedure does a COMMIT.

The idea right now is to sync the index every minute via DBMS_JOB, but that
just seems too hokey to me.  Apparently, under ConText in Oracle7, the
INT_RX procedure could be used in a trigger, but it's been desupported.
(I'm guessing that locking was an issue?)

Anyone have any ideas?

TIA!

Yeah, I thought about that, but according to Oracle, ctxsrv is desupported
and will be removed in a future version.  I guess I'm hoping for something
in the DB, too, instead of relying on an external program that needs the
CTXSYS password hardcoded.

iFS and InterMedia - installation and configuration effort

2001-11-12 Thread Jared . Still


List,

For any of you that have setup and configure iFS and InterMedia,  I was
wondering if you'd care to give a ballpark estimate of how much time you
think it would take for an experienced DBA ( me) do set this up.

If it's not a big project ( few hours ) I'll give it a try for one of our
developers.

If  a multiday project, we'll have to plan for it instead.

Thanks

Jared

RE: Problems with Intermedia

2001-10-23 Thread SARKAR, Samir

Hi Jack,

I am a bit out of my depth here. I configured the listener so that it can
use 
the INSO filter by setting the
ENVS=LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/oracle/8.1.7/ctx/lib
in the listener.ora. 
We r using Intermedia text on 8.1.7.0 on SunOS.

When I tried to check the listener by executing the command

 SQL exec ctx_adm.test_extproc; (by logging on as ctxsys user)

I get the following error :
  
 ERROR at line 1:
ORA-2: interMedia Text error:
ORA-06520: PL/SQL: Error loading external library
ORA-06522: ld.so.1: extprocPLSExtProc: fatal:

directory
ORA-06512: at CTXSYS.DRUE, line 126
ORA-06512: at CTXSYS.CTX_ADM, line 287
ORA-06512: at line 1

Could u please help me resolve this ?? Do I have to put in the
LD_LIBRARY_PATH explicitly 
too and export it ??

Also, ctxhx is the user filter executable for the INSO filter. I killed that
process
since it was using up almost 95% of my CPU time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards from the UK.

Martin,

We use interMedia Text to index and query up to about 10-15 million CLOB
documents (up to 5KB each).  We're on 8.1.6.0.0 under Win2k - 2 550MHz CPUs,
2GB RAM, 18 36GB drives.

Because a domain index cannot be partitioned, we have the documents spread
across 5 tables (on 6 drives).  One is a 2 partition table (each partition
on its own drive) containing the current two months of docs, the other 4
hold the 4 prior months' docs.  We can query the entire 6 months of docs via
a Union View on them - even Contains() queries work fine on this view.

When we add a new month's partition, the prior month's partition gets turned
into a table (segment exchange).  The interMedia Text indexes on the
partitioned table and the new prior month are rebuilt.

Lately we've been getting about 3.5 million docs/month and the index rebuild
takes about 7 hours - that's 7 hrs. for the index on the prior month and 7
more hours for the index on the partitioned table, which only contains one
month of docs at that point.

Since we're adding docs every day, we sync the interMedia index every
morning.  Last night we added about 200,000 docs and it took about 3 hours
for the index to resync.  We don't use ctxsrv, but use CTX_DDL.Sync_Index.

When we get over about 4.5 million docs in a table, the resync really slows
down.  The in-memory part still happens at about 150 docs/sec, but when
interMedia writes to disk it slows down a bunch.  What took 3 hours today
will take 10 hours in a couple of weeks.

That's why I plan on spreading the DR$$I segment across multiple drives by
spreading the datafiles of its tablespace across those drives.

BTW, that brings up some performance points - be sure you cache the DR$$R
segment (use CACHE not CACHE READS, due to bugs in Oracle):

  Alter Table DR$YourIndexName$R Modify LOB (Data) (Cache) ;

Also ensure that your LOBs are out-of-line and stored in their own
segment(s) on drive(s) separate from the regular data.  Make sure that
your I_TABLE_CLAUSE, R_TABLE_CLAUSE, and I_INDEX_CLAUSE all specify
tablespaces on their own drives to spread the I/O out even further.  We're
getting 2GB more RAM on a new server, so I plan on caching the 900MB DR$$X
segment, which is the index on the DR$$I token table.

I've learned a lot about how interMedia Text processes different kinds of
queries by watching disk I/O on Win2k's Performance Monitor while I issue
various flavors.  Our folks use lots of complex query terms with heavy use
of the Stemmer.  I've gotten them to switch from using tons of ORs to using
the Equivalence operator and we're getting much better results using NEAR
than simple ANDs.  Performance is very good, with CONTAINS queries returning
results in less than a second for terms that are rare in the docs, up to a
minute for terms that are common in lots (e.g. hundreds of thousands) of
docs.

If you're going to do synonym searches, you'd better start looking for a
good thesaurus - the one Oracle ships is pretty limited.  We've not found a
good one for the technical lingo our docs contain, so we don't do ABOUT
queries at this time.

Get familiar with CTX_Query.Explain, it will help you understand things like

Hello all,

Although I have installed Intermedia as part of my general DBA duties before
I have not experienced any particular requirements on throughput rate or
indexing.

I need some information on being able to deal with large volumes of product
data (e.g. 1 million products in a retail application) and be able to
perform 'intelligent' searches against the metadata (things like
typographical error matching, synonyms etc.) as well as the more usual
parametric search (i.e. advanced search page with lots of metadata specific
fields).

Indexing time and max throughput are also of interest.

Any data based on experience would be appreciated.

Thanks

Using Intermedia and Oracle 8i for Web site search engine back-en

2001-10-05 Thread Szecsy Tamas

Hi,

I am not very familiar with Intermedia. 

We have a web site for our intranet and it is getting too big to know
everything where it is. It just occured to me how nice to make a HTML/XML
frontend for a search functionality and let Oracle Intermedia search the MS
Word and HTML file. Can Intermedia search external files? I would like to
avoid loading all files ont the website into CLOB or BLOB columns.

TIA,

Excellent doc.

I just wonder if there are only cache related bugs on using interMedia.

Martin,

We use interMedia Text to index and query up to about 10-15 million CLOB
documents (up to 5KB each).  We're on 8.1.6.0.0 under Win2k - 2 550MHz CPUs,
2GB RAM, 18 36GB drives.

Because a domain index cannot be partitioned, we have the documents spread
across 5 tables (on 6 drives).  One is a 2 partition table (each partition
on its own drive) containing the current two months of docs, the other 4
hold the 4 prior months' docs.  We can query the entire 6 months of docs via
a Union View on them - even Contains() queries work fine on this view.

When we add a new month's partition, the prior month's partition gets turned
into a table (segment exchange).  The interMedia Text indexes on the
partitioned table and the new prior month are rebuilt.

Lately we've been getting about 3.5 million docs/month and the index rebuild
takes about 7 hours - that's 7 hrs. for the index on the prior month and 7
more hours for the index on the partitioned table, which only contains one
month of docs at that point.

Since we're adding docs every day, we sync the interMedia index every
morning.  Last night we added about 200,000 docs and it took about 3 hours
for the index to resync.  We don't use ctxsrv, but use CTX_DDL.Sync_Index.

When we get over about 4.5 million docs in a table, the resync really slows
down.  The in-memory part still happens at about 150 docs/sec, but when

RE: Intermedia Performance Benchmarks anyone ?

2001-10-04 Thread Koivu, Lisa
Title: RE: Intermedia Performance Benchmarks anyone ?





Hi Martin, 


I've had to implement intermedia in the past. with 1 million records intermedia will do the job in an acceptable amount of time. 

However, when testing it I found that the more advanced features I used (fuzzy, etc.) the worse performance became. It works well if you are doing a straightforward search. 

I also found there were problems with creating the library on HP/UX (part of the install). I had to create it manually. 

There are also tricks for indexing more than one column in one index. The documentation says you can't, but it can be done. I know there are people on the list that have done this. 

I didn't run any formal benchmarks. We had indexed ~6million records on long fields (like description) and performance was directly related to how selective the keywords were. 

Indexing time - If I remember right, creating one index on one of these description columns ran in ~2 hours. I also batched my updates. (I didn't run ctxsrv) The index ended up being ~1.5GB. 

Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions, I'll try and answer them.

RE: Intermedia Performance Benchmarks anyone ?

2001-10-04 Thread Jack C. Applewhite

Ross,

I disagree that interMedia Text is way too slow to scale.  Our experience
has convinced us that I/O bottlenecks are the main performance killers with
large interMedia Text indexes.  The problem is that it takes some experience
to find out how this special kind of index is structured (6 or 8 separate
table and index segments per index) and how it behaves.  As usual, the
Oracle docs are pitifully inadequate - you've gotta search through TechNet
and MetaLink for details and bug workarounds (like CACHE instead of CACHE
READS for DR$$R).

Caching the DR$$R segment helped immensely and I can see that when pieces
of the DR$$X index are cached, queries with terms in those pieces are
lightening fast.  I am betting that when I spread the DR$$I table across
multiple drives, instead of the single drive ours is currently on, we'll see
much better performance of NEAR queries (which depend on the word position
info. there), as well as faster index resyncs.

In 9i Domain Indexes become partitionable, so I'm looking forward (in about
a year - experiences with 6.0, 7.0, 8.0 and 8.1.5 have made me wary) to
putting our 6 (or more) months of docs into one partitoned table.  There may
be other I/O distributing kinds of enhancements by then, as well.  For sure
I'll have explored every trick I can think of!   ;-)

With more drives and a bit more RAM, I think we can handle 10 million docs
per month (60 million total online), even on our lil' ol' Win2k box.  That's
just x3 to x4 of what we do now.

 I looked into SSD, they are like $15-17k / gb.  Very expensive.
And with Oracle buffering, I would expect the performance wouldn't be huge.
There were some solutions that were like $2500 for a 1 gb, but they were not
sharable between machines in a cluster.

a Union View on them - even Contains() queries work fine on this view.

When we add a new month's partition, the prior month's partition gets
turned
into a table (segment exchange).  The interMedia Text indexes on the
partitioned table and the new prior month are rebuilt.

Lately we've been getting about 3.5 million docs/month and the index
rebuild
takes about 7 hours - that's 7 hrs. for the index on the prior month and
7
more hours for the index on the partitioned table, which only contains
one
month of docs at that point.

Since we're adding docs every day, we sync the interMedia index every
morning.  Last night we added about 200,000 docs and it took about 3
hours
for the index to resync.  We don't use ctxsrv, but use
CTX_DDL.Sync_Index.

When we get over about 4.5 million docs in a table, the resync really
slows
down.  The in-memory part still happens at about 150 docs/sec, but when
interMedia writes to disk it slows down a bunch.  What took 3 hours
today
will take 10 hours in a couple of weeks.

That's why I plan on spreading the DR$$I segment across multiple
drives by
spreading the datafiles of its tablespace across those drives.

BTW, that brings up some performance points - be sure you cache the
DR$$R
segment (use CACHE not CACHE READS, due to bugs in Oracle):

  Alter Table DR$YourIndexName$R Modify LOB (Data) (Cache) ;

Also ensure that your LOBs are out-of-line and stored in their own
segment(s) on drive(s) separate from the regular data.  Make sure that
your I_TABLE_CLAUSE, R_TABLE_CLAUSE, and I_INDEX_CLAUSE all specify
tablespaces on their own drives to spread the I/O out even further.
We're
getting 2GB more RAM on a new server, so I plan on caching the 900MB
DR$$X
segment, which is the index on the DR$$I token table.

I've learned a lot about how interMedia Text processes different kinds
of
queries by watching disk I/O on Win2k's Performance Monitor while I
issue
various flavors.  Our folks use lots of complex query terms with heavy
use
of the Stemmer.  I've gotten them to switch from using tons of ORs to
using
the Equivalence operator and we're getting much better results using
NEAR
than simple ANDs.  Performance is very good, with CONTAINS queries
returning
results in less than a second for terms that are rare in the docs, up to
a
minute for terms that are common in lots (e.g. hundreds of thousands) of
docs.

If you're going to do synonym searches, you'd better start looking for a
good thesaurus - the one Oracle ships is pretty limited.  We've not
found a
good one for the technical lingo our docs contain, so we don't do ABOUT
queries at this time.

Get familiar with CTX_Query.Explain, it will help you understand things
like
what the Stemmer *really* does and how complex queries are parsed.

Hope this helps.

Hello all,

Although I have installed Intermedia as part of my general DBA duties
before
I have not experienced any particular requirements on throughput rate or
indexing.

I need some information on being able to deal with large volumes of

Thanks Maria and Martin for your answers. I prefer the Intermeida option than the IFS 
option since IFS requires a big server to run and relatively new, where Intermedia 
(formerly Context) has been there for a number of years. I would need
to do some reading re. Intermedia and BFILE.

Thanks

IFS would involve scanning the whole document whereas Intermedia allows

RE: ORA-1410 on interMedia Text Index - SOLVED

2001-09-17 Thread Jack C. Applewhite

Hi,

Just a follow-up for you interMedia Text fans out there.

The statement below worked for us to eliminate the ORA-1410 and ORA-600
[12700] errors.

   Alter Table DR$Our_CLOB_Index$R Modify LOB (Data) (Cache);

The interMedia Text Performance FAQ on TechNet recommends (Cache Reads) to
speed up queries.  That worked for us until we started deleting selected
Documents.  Now (Cache) gives us the large query performance boost we
wanted, albeit with a significant, though acceptable (30-40%), increase in
time taken for index re-syncs.

Hope this helps someone.

We started getting ORA-1410 invalid ROWID for Contains queries and ORA-600

the DR$index$R table to Cache Reads for its Data LOB column.  Metalink Bug

Has anyone else experienced this?  I'm rebuilding the index now (for the 2nd

Thanks for any advice or suggestions.

RE: ORA-1410 on interMedia Text Index

2001-09-12 Thread Kuan, Amy M

I was getting ORA-600 [12700] when I upgraded a 734 text database to 817.
Ended up having to apply the latest patchset, I think it was 8172, to
finally fix the problem.  Has something to do with buffer cache corruption
when Intermedia is trying to sync the index.  The index loses its pointer to
the row.  Never got the ORA-1410 though.  I have no idea if they have a
patch for 816.  If you contact Oracle, they will want you to analyze the
base table and all the indexes and send them the trace file on the ORA-600.

817 Intermedia on AIX

2001-08-28 Thread Kuan, Amy M

Is there anyone else out there running version 8172 Intermedia on AIX 4.3?
We recently upgraded a text database from 734 to 817 and started getting
either ORA 3113 or ORA 600 [12700] errors on iMedia queries.  Upgraded to
8172 because Oracle said it contained a patch for this bug, but the second
business day after the upgrade, we're back to the ORA 600 [12700] error.

One doc on Metalink says it may be caused by corrupted indexes, but analyze
comes back clean.  It also says it could be from heavy update  query
activities against the same set of data.  I suppose I could just tell them
to stop doing that, but I was hoping for some other solution.

Moving table with interMedia datatype

2001-07-20 Thread Yttri, Lisa
Title: Moving table with interMedia datatype





Hi -


I have a table that contains 1 column with an interMedia datatype (ordsys.ordimage) and a blob column. I want to move the data from the table in our test server to our production server. I don't think an exp and imp will work on these datatypes. Does anyone know how I can accomplish this?

Thanks in advance,
Lisa





InterMedia Gurus

2001-07-05 Thread Mohan, Ross

Any one you guys/dolls out there who
are really using InterMedia, this one is for you

Have you come across a good, single user scanner/OCR combo for putting
hardcopy into a db under InterMedia?

I have a bunch of dox i'd like to put
on a CD or DVD, but want very high
quality OCR and don't want to spend
the next twelve thousand sidereal cycles scanning and correcting OCR
input. 

So...what do you like?

TIA, 

Ross

Title: RE: Intermedia Questions, Any Gurus on This Subject?





Hi Vicky, 


You need to create a preference to define the storage clause with CTX_DDL. I did this at a former employer and I don't have the scripts handy, sorry to say. The documentation does go over this in detail. You can specify just about everything for storage of your imt index in the preference. You can even put the separate pieces of the index in separate ts's. Buffer pool though, I'm not sure. See below a cutout from the doco.

Specifying Storage Attributes


The following examples specify that the index tables are to be created in the foo tablespace with an initial extent of 1K:

begin
ctx_ddl.create_preference('mystore', 'BASIC_STORAGE');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('mystore', 'I_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'tablespace foo storage (initial 1K)'); 
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('mystore', 'K_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'tablespace foo storage (initial 1K)'); 
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('mystore', 'R_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'tablespace foo storage (initial 1K)'); 
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('mystore', 'N_TABLE_CLAUSE',
'tablespace foo storage (initial 1K)'); 
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('mystore', 'I_INDEX_CLAUSE',
'tablespace foo storage (initial 1K)'); 
end;

You need to create preferences to specify storage parameters like:

begin
ctx_ddl.create_preference('storage_small','BASIC_STORAGE');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('storage_small','I_TABLE_CLAUSE','tablespace 
LOBADM_01_SMALL_DATA');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('storage_small','K_TABLE_CLAUSE','tablespace 
LOBADM_01_SMALL_DATA');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('storage_small','R_TABLE_CLAUSE','tablespace 
LOBADM_01_SMALL_DATA');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('storage_small','N_TABLE_CLAUSE','tablespace 
LOBADM_01_SMALL_DATA');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('storage_small','I_INDEX_CLAUSE','tablespace 
LOBADM_01_SMALL_INDX');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('storage_small','P_TABLE_CLAUSE','tablespace 
LOBADM_01_SMALL_DATA');
end;
/

Then create index like:

create index lobadm.client_full_nm_indx on lobadm.client(full_nm)
indextype is ctxsys.context
parameters('storage lobadm.storage_small')
/

Hope this helps

Title: RE: Intermedia





Hi Gary, 


This is what happened. A regular install would not succeed with the CREATE INDEX statement. I put a call in to support. Lucky for me I got a knowledgeable woman on the phone who knew exactly what the problem was. 

The libraries could not be created when $ORACLE_HOME was referenced in the install scripts. I had to hard-code the library name with the value for $ORACLE_HOME. Now that I look through my script, that was the only thing that got hosed. After I made that change everything was fine. 

Hope this helps someone...
Have a great day all !

Oracle Intermedia Search Query

2001-04-06 Thread Ranganath K

Dear DBA Gurus,

I have the following records in Oracle 8.1.6 database (CLOB fields).

idtitle
1   kid's
2   kid and teen
3   kid's
4   kid's and teens

If I write a query as
select * from site where contains(title,'kid''s')  0 then it
displays all the 4 records where are I want only records 1, 3 and 4 only.
If I try with: select * from site where contains(title, 'kid||chr(39)||s') 
0 then it is returning error ORA - 29902.  How do I write the query in order
to return the correct result?  Any help in this regard will be very much
appreciated.

TIA and Regards,

Ranganath

Intermedia text table design

2001-04-06 Thread Ranganath K

Dear DBA Gurus,

I have given below the procedure as how we are creating the tables,
preference and indexing for the same. Could you please check if there is any
other preference need to be set for CLOB Datatypes which I missed?

1) To create category table.

 CREATE TABLE CATEGORY

  PK_CATEGORY_IDNUMBER  NOT NULL,
  PARENT_CATEGORY   NUMBER  NOT NULL,
  NAME  VARCHAR2 (1000) NOT NULL,
  DEPTH VARCHAR2 (4000) NOT NULL,
  STATUSNUMBER  NOT NULL,
  UPDATED_DATETIME  DATE,
  PRIMARY KEY ( PK_CATEGORY_ID ) );


2. To create site table.

CREATE TABLE SITE

  PK_SITE_ID   NUMBER   NOT NULL,
  FK_CATEGORY  NUMBER   NOT NULL,
  TITLECLOB,
  URL  VARCHAR2 (4000)  NOT NULL,
  DESCRIPTION  CLOB,
  STATUS   NUMBER   NOT NULL,
  PAGE_HITSNUMBER   NOT NULL,
  EDITOR_CHOICE  VARCHAR2 (10),
  PRIMARY KEY ( PK_SITE_ID ));

ALTER TABLE SITE ADD  CONSTRAINT FKSITE
 FOREIGN KEY (FK_CATEGORY)
  REFERENCES VCPLNEW.CATEGORY (PK_CATEGORY_ID) ;

3)  Creating an index after inserting the data(Datebase Updation) in both
the tables.

a) Execute this script to create a preference.

begin
ctx_ddl.create_preference('sitelexer', 'BASIC_LEXER');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('sitelexer', 'printjoins', '_-');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute('sitelexer', 'endjoins', '%');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute ( 'sitelexer', 'index_text', 'YES');
ctx_ddl.set_attribute ( 'sitelexer', 'mixed_case', 'NO');
end;

b) Execute this script to create an indexes.

  CREATE INDEX site1descidx ON
  site(description)
  indextype is ctxsys.context
  parameters ( 'LEXER sitelexer' );

  CREATE INDEX site2titleidex ON
  site(title)
  indextype is ctxsys.context
  parameters ( 'LEXER sitelexer' );

TIA and Regards,

Ranganath

RE: Intermedia text table design

2001-04-06 Thread Jack C. Applewhite

Ranganath,

You've defaulted to in-line storage of CLOBs.  You could
specify "Disable Storage In Row" and point the CLOBs to
different tablespaces, thus spreading your I/O out over more
drives.  You can also define a custom Basic_Storage
interMedia parameter, by which you spread out the 5 or 6
segment types of an interMedia index on different
tablespaces.

See Chapter 7 in "Oracle8i Application Developer's Guide -
Large Objects (LOBs)" for details on LOB storage and the
"Oracle8i interMedia Text Reference" for details on indexing
parameters.

'S is a stop word (which is not indexed), so for the index server all the 4
rows are correct results of the query.

Consult the manuals for setting the stop list preferences (a search for
"BASIC_STOPLIST" should give u a hint) - probably you'll be able to set the
stop list preferences in a way that suits your needs

Intermedia violates own constraint.

2001-03-28 Thread Morten Primdahl


Hi. I had some problems with getting Intermedia to work after patching
to
8.1.7. I got a

ORA-04045: errors during recompilation/revalidation of CTXSYS.CONTEXT
ORA-29835: ODCIGETINTERFACES routine does not return required
interface(s)

When trying to create an index. Searched Metalink, and eventually
found document 1327325 where the workaround is stated to be

spool recompile1.sql 
select 'alter package '||owner||'.'||object_name||' compile;' 
from dba_objects 
where object_type='PACKAGE' 
and status='INVALID' 
and owner in('ORDSYS','CTXSYS'); 
spool off;
@recompile1.sql

I applied this, but when I try to create the index now, I get

SQL CREATE INDEX ccs_search_index
  ON ccs_search(content)
  INDEXTYPE IS ctxsys.context PARAMETERS('section group
ccs_search_group');  23  
CREATE INDEX ccs_search_index
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29855: error occurred in the execution of ODCIINDEXCREATE routine
ORA-2: interMedia Text error:
ORA-1: unique constraint (CTXSYS.DRC$IDX_COLSPEC) violated
ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.DRUE", line 122
ORA-06512: at "CTXSYS.TEXTINDEXMETHODS", line 34
ORA-06512: at line 1

It seems to me, that intermedia tries to index into an existing table,
and failes because it has lost track of it's own sequence? I'm just
guessing
here and could really use a few tips to get this thing working. Thanks,

Morten

Can InterMedia search for the presence or absence of a tag?

2001-03-19 Thread MONAGHAN, Mike

We're using InterMedia's XML section indexing (Oracle8.1.6.3), and mostly it
works fine. However, I think it's indexing technique means that you: 
(i) cannot search for tags, eg contains(doc,'bold',1); 
(ii) cannot search for documents that have an empty tag (eg bold/bold). 
In both cases wildcard expansion doesn't work; for example: 
SQLPLUS select doc from mytable where contains (doc, '% within
publisher',0)0; 
* 
ERROR at line 1: 
ORA-29902: error in executing ODCIIndexStart() routine 
ORA-2: interMedia Text error: 
DRG-50937: query too complex 
DRG-51030: wildcard query expansion resulted in too many terms 

Does anyone know of a way to do either (i) or (ii). 

Many thanks, Mike Monaghan

Mike,

I've not attempted what you're trying to do, but have you
considered a couple of things?  If  you've already done
this, sorry for stating the obvious, but your examples below
don't include all the details.

"" is a reserved character, used for the threshold
comparator.

If you created your XML Section Groups as the
Auto_Section_Group type, the InterMedia docs say "Empty
tags, processing instructions, and comments are not
indexed."

Did you create a Zone Section named publisher?

Just a few thoughts as to why your queries aren't working.

take a look at the "Specifying

there is an example for creating a storage preference for the 
index and assigning different components of the domain index to different 
tablespaces.

after u have set the preferences up u'll have to create the 
index with something like:

===create indexAAA on BBB.CCC(DDD) 

indextype is ctxsys.context
parameters ('filter ctxsys.EEE
   
storage FFF');

RE: Intermedia Domain index and tablespace

2001-03-15 Thread Koivu, Lisa



You need 
to create preferences and specify them in your create index statement. 
This is all in the documentation, by the way. Also, this does not affect 
your IOT storage parms. You will have to modify those separately or you 
will blow maxextents as your index grows.
Here's 
what mine look like
exec 
ctxsys.ctx_ddl.create_preference('product_storage','BASIC_STORAGE');
exec 
ctxsys.ctx_ddl.set_attribute('product_storage','I_TABLE_CLAUSE','tablespace 
ctx_idx_a storage (initial 100m next 100m)');
exec 
ctxsys.ctx_ddl.set_attribute('product_storage','K_TABLE_CLAUSE','tablespace 
ctx_idx_a storage (initial 100m next 100m)');
. etc 
.
And 
here's how I use it
create indexx onq.table(search_string)
indextype is 
ctxsys.context
parameters (
'lexer product_pref
storage 
product_storage
datastore 
product_datastore'
)

2001-03-15 Thread Jack C. Applewhite



Andrey,

You're 
right in that you cannot explicitly name the tablespace(s) in the Create Index 
statement. However, you can put the various (5 or 6 segments in all) 
pieces of an InterMedia Text index in different tablespaces by creating a 
Basic_Storage parameter, with suitable attributes. Your statement below 
would then have an additional clause such as:

Parameters ('Datastore CtxSys.My_Direct_Datastore 
Storage CtxSys.My_Basic_Storage Memory 5000') ;

That 
directs InterMedia to create the index according to the Attributes you define in 
My_Direct_Datastore and My_Basic_Storage. The Memory 5000 part tells 
InterMedia to use about 50MB of RAM to do the sorting, etc. required to build 
the index. Make this as big as you can, since it is the key to fast index 
creation - that is, if the table is large and already 
exists.

See 
the chapter on Indexing (chapter 3 for Oracle 8.1.6) in the "Oracle8i interMedia 
Text Reference" for all the details.

Hope 
this helps you.

Union Views on InterMedia Indexed Tables

2001-02-28 Thread Jack C. Applewhite

I've discovered a workaround for an Oracle InterMedia Text
error.

Our platform: Oracle 8.1.6 on Windows2000

Our problem: We get the following errors when querying (with
a Contains() expression) a Union All View of
identically-structured tables, each with an InterMedia index
on the same CLOB column:

   ORA-2: interMedia Text error:
   DRG-10599: column is not indexed

Each table can be successfully queried alone or within a
Union All Select - just not when referenced in a view.

The solution is to create a Select * From Table View on
each individual table, then use those individual views in
the Union All view.  Bizarre, eh?  Yes, but it works.

It does not solve the problem of getting the same error
messages as above when using the Score() function in a query
that references the Union All view.  This is a problem for
us on  both 8.1.6 and 8.1.7.  BTW, 8.1.7 doesn't exhibit the
above-mentioned problem that we experience on 8.1.6.  8.1.7
just gives the error when you use the Score() function.

Hope this helps someone.

Jack
