intermedia text and dbms_job problem
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.

Re: intermedia text and dbms_job problem
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 saiBill Tantzen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: OK, I know I must be doing something wrong, would somebody please pointout what it is?

indexing PDF's using intermedia (8.1.7), not happening
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 The information contained in this email and its attachments if any may contain privileged and confidential information intended only for the attention of the recipient(s) specified.

Re: create interMedia index problem
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. Jack C.

Re: create interMedia index problem
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; Guang -Original Message- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 28, 2003 8:24 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Guang, Is your RESINDEX tablespace a Locally-Managed Tablespace with Uniform Extents of less than 3 database blocks?

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. TIA inka -Original Message- Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2002 12:04 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L 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).

Oracle InterMedia/Blob,Clob
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?

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?

Re: interMedia Text
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
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: 8.1.7.2.5 interMedia Text Slow Sync - SOLVED
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. Jack Jack C. Applewhite Database Administrator/Developer OCP Oracle8 DBA iNetProfit, Inc.

Adding intermedia Text to 8.1.6 database
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...

Parsing free-form text for InterMedia indexing
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
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!

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!

iFS and InterMedia - installation and configuration effort
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.

RE: Problems with Intermedia
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: /usr/local/oracle/product/8.1.7xibibctxx8.so: open failed: No such file or 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 ??

RE: Intermedia Performance Benchmarks anyone ?
Jack, Thanks for your time on this. Most revealing and useful for what I have ahead of me Kind regards from the UK. Martin -Original Message- Sent: 04 October 2001 22:47 To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L 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 what the Stemmer *really* does and how complex queries are parsed. Hope this helps. Jack Jack C.

RE: Intermedia Performance Benchmarks anyone ?
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.

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.

RE: Intermedia Performance Benchmarks anyone ?
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. Jack Jack C. Applewhite Database Administrator/Developer OCP Oracle8 DBA iNetProfit, Inc.

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.

817 Intermedia on AIX
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. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Kuan, Amy M INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services-- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California-- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).

RE: Intermedia Questions, Any Gurus on This Subject?
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; HTH Lisa Koivu Oracle Database Administrator 954-935-4117 The information in the electronic mail message is Cendant confidential and may be legally privileged, it is intended solely for the addressee(s) access to this internet electronic mail message by anyone else is unauthorized.

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.

RE: Intermedia text table design
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.

Intermedia violates own constraint.
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?

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

RE: Intermedia Domain index and tablespace
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 .

RE: Intermedia Domain index and tablespace
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. Jack Jack C.

Union Views on InterMedia Indexed Tables
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.
