Process state automatically setting self to 'off'.

493305Mar 1 2006 — edited Mar 1 2006
Hello,

I'm having problems with a few processes that automatically set their states to 'off.' I try to change the state to 'on,' but it immediately returns to the 'off' state. Additionally, I've undeployed the processes, purged all the instances, and redeployed the processes. Still the processes are defaulting to 'off' after redeployment and changing their states to 'off' after setting them to 'on'. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Joseph

1) Analytic function count not supported distinct
count over WINDOW
That'd be new. COUNT(DISTINCT column) OVER ... works
perfectly unter 10g2

If we use distinct option in count function of OLAP,
we cannot use order by clause.

for instance in Oracle 10.2.0.1.0

SQL> select SortKey,Val,
  2  count(distinct Val) over() as disticntCount
  3  from (select 1 as SortKey,'AAA' as Val from dual
  4  union select 2,'AAA' from dual
  5  union select 3,'BBB' from dual
  6  union select 4,'CCC' from dual
  7  union select 5,'CCC' from dual
  8  union select 6,'AAA' from dual
  9  union select 7,'AAA' from dual);

SortKey  Val  disticntCount
-------  ---  -------------
      1  AAA              3
      2  AAA              3
      7  AAA              3
      6  AAA              3
      3  BBB              3
      4  CCC              3
      5  CCC              3

SQL> select SortKey,Val,
  2  count(Val) over(order by SortKey) as disticntCount
  3  from (select 1 as SortKey,'AAA' as Val from dual
  4  union select 2,'AAA' from dual
  5  union select 3,'BBB' from dual
  6  union select 4,'CCC' from dual
  7  union select 5,'CCC' from dual
  8  union select 6,'AAA' from dual
  9  union select 7,'AAA' from dual);

SortKey  Val  disticntCount
-------  ---  -------------
      1  AAA              1
      2  AAA              2
      3  BBB              3
      4  CCC              4
      5  CCC              5
      6  AAA              6
      7  AAA              7

SQL> select SortKey,Val,
  2  count(distinct Val) over(order by SortKey) as disticntCount
  3  from (select 1 as SortKey,'AAA' as Val from dual
  4  union select 2,'AAA' from dual
  5  union select 3,'BBB' from dual
  6  union select 4,'CCC' from dual
  7  union select 5,'CCC' from dual
  8  union select 6,'AAA' from dual
  9  union select 7,'AAA' from dual);
count(distinct Val) over(order by SortKey) as disticntCount
                         *
ORA-30487: ORDER BY not allowed here

However,
we can emulate count function of OLAP with distinct option and order by clause.

SQL> select SortKey,Val,sum(WillSum) over(order by SortKey) as disticntCount
  2  from (select SortKey,Val,
  3        case Row_Number() over(partition by Val order by SortKey)
  4        when 1 then 1 else 0 end as WillSum
  5          from (select 1 as SortKey,'AAA' as Val from dual
  6          union select 2,'AAA' from dual
  7          union select 3,'BBB' from dual
  8          union select 4,'CCC' from dual
  9          union select 5,'CCC' from dual
 10          union select 6,'AAA' from dual
 11          union select 7,'AAA' from dual));

SortKey  Val  disticntCount
-------  ---  -------------
      1  AAA              1
      2  AAA              1
      3  BBB              2
      4  CCC              3
      5  CCC              3
      6  AAA              3
      7  AAA              3

Thx. This is good idea but I have version 9.2 :-(

I need compute count over Window ...
Emulation is good idea but performance of emulation is unusable - i work with 2M+ records ...
Alessandro Rossi

Interval is defined by start date, end date, lenght
and step. For example
Start 1.1.2006 00:00
End: 1.1.2006 23:59
Length: 1 hour
Step: 1 minute

Be more clear. An interval is defined by any two of the following: start date, end date or length. Please explain what you mean with step.

  1. Analytic function count not supported distinct
    count over WINDOW

count() distinct would return 1 always.

Processing ...
with t as (
	select 1 as mycol
	from dual
	connect by rownum <= 5
)
select count( distinct mycol)
from t


Query finished, retrieving results...
         COUNT(DISTINCTMYCOL)          
-------------------------------------- 
                                     1 

1 row(s) retrieved
  1. Because I need every interval (interval for wich
    no data in my table) , i must outer join this table
    with dynamic generated intervals (using dual connect
    by level). This is very slow process (for inteval of
    1 year)

Do it with in this way

select ta.dfrom,ta.dtill,count(tb.any_key_column)
FROM (
		SELECT TRUNC (:dfrom) + (LEVEL - 1) / 1440 dfrom,
		TRUNC (:dfrom) + (LEVEL - 1) / 1440 + 59/24/60 dtill,
		level lvl
		FROM DUAL
		CONNECT BY LEVEL <= Trunc((:DTILL - :DFROM) * 1440 / :STP + 1)
	) TA
	LEFT OUTER JOIN
	d_lps_secx_c TB -- this table has 20M+ records
	ON dt = dfrom
group by ta.dfrom,ta.dtill
order by ta.dfrom

that join condition was missing too many records.

select ta.dfrom,ta.dtill,count(tb.any_key_column)
FROM (
		SELECT TRUNC (:dfrom) + (LEVEL - 1) / 1440 dfrom,
		TRUNC (:dfrom) + (LEVEL - 1) / 1440 + 59/24/60 dtill,
		level lvl
		FROM DUAL
		CONNECT BY LEVEL <= Trunc((:DTILL - :DFROM) * 1440 / :STP + 1)
	) TA
	LEFT OUTER JOIN
	d_lps_secx_c TB -- this table has 20M+ records
	ON ( dt between dfrom and dtill )
group by ta.dfrom,ta.dtill
order by ta.dfrom

1) Analytic function count not supported distinct count over WINDOW

To work around this problem in 9iR2, you can emulate the count distinct in a window by making up rows for each minute that the record should be counted for. Like this:

SQL> create table d_lps_secx_c
  2  ( dt date
  3  , no number
  4  , atr1 char(1)
  5  , atr2 char(1)
  6  , primary key (dt,no)
  7  )
  8  /

Tabel is aangemaakt.

SQL> insert into d_lps_secx_c
  2   select trunc(date '2005-12-31' + dbms_random.value(0,3),'mi')
  3        , trunc((level-1)/2)
  4        , 'A'
  5        , 'B'
  6     from dual
  7  connect by level <= 100
  8  /

SQL> var P_STARTDATE varchar2(16)
SQL> var P_ENDDATE varchar2(16)
SQL> var P_LENGTH number

  4   order by dt
  5  /

2) Because I need every interval (interval for wich no data in my table) , i must outer join this table with dynamic generated intervals (using dual connect by level). This is very slow process (for inteval of 1 year)

If it is slow, please investigate why it is slow. I wrote about it [url http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=501834&tstart=0]here.

What is unclear? I mean that example is selfexplanation ... but I can try explain it detaily:
Start 1.1.2006 00:00
End: 1.1.2006 23:59
Length: 1 hour
Step: 1 minute

Fot this input Length of interval is 1 hour. There is 1440 inervals for witch will be computed result.

First ... 1. 1. 2006 0:00:00 1. 1. 2006 0:59:00
Second ...1. 1. 2006 0:01:00 1. 1. 2006 1:00:00
.
.
Last 1. 1. 2006 23:59:00 2. 1. 2006 0:58:00 13

Start date is incemented by step until this < EndDate

2) Your example is not ANALYTIC function ... it is AGRGATE function! You are in mistake ...
Nicolas Gasparotto

That works fine with count_distinct function :

SQL> select SortKey,Val,Count_distinct(Val) over (order by SortKey) distinct_value 
  2  from (select 1 as SortKey,'AAA' as Val from dual  
  3        union all
  4        select 2,'AAA' from dual  
  5        union all
  6        select 3,'BBB' from dual  
  7        union all
  8        select 4,'CCC' from dual  
  9        union all 
 10        select 5,'CCC' from dual 
 11        union all
 12        select 6,'AAA' from dual 
 13        union all
 14        select 7,'AAA' from dual)
 15  order by 1;

   SORTKEY VAL DISTINCT_VALUE
---------- --- --------------
         1 AAA              1
         2 AAA              1
         3 BBB              2
         4 CCC              3
         5 CCC              3
         6 AAA              3
         7 AAA              3

I supposed you were working on consecutive intevals then the step concept was out of my consideration.

  1. Your example is not ANALYTIC function ... it is
    AGRGATE function! You are in mistake ...

What you need is something that does what you asked for.If it can be done with aggreagate I suggest you to use aggregate.

I need write select statement which compute count of UNIQUE NO in date interval by WINDOW

Here the results.

Excellent!
It is indeed that easy and there is no need to unfold like I did.

Regards,
Rob.
Vlada
Thanx. This is good idea .. but it's too slow :(
Test it for 20 000 000 rows in d_lps_secx_c per year and
Start 1.1.2006 00:00
End: 1.1.2006 23:59
Length: 1 hour
Step: 1 minute

It's take aproximatelly 50 seconds per one day => more than 5 hours ...
Analytics functions is more fastert then grouping ...

Thanks for your time

So you are missing an index on dt?
Did you investigate why it was slow? [url http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=501834&tstart=0]This thread may help.

This is nonsense generally.

thanks for that piece of code. However, I would not do it this way, because it will work only for varchar2, what's more, it will bug as soon as a column contains semi-column (;)

Laurent,

Yes, I would have to rewrite with a PL/SQL table instead of concatenation into clob with any separator.

Anyway, in the current case, I don't understand why that doesn't work on your side, I tried succesfully it on 9.2.0.8 and 10.2.0.2.

I could even imagine a function that would use ora_hash instead of a plsql table

it would save a lot of memory

Actually, I don't understand what's your choice.
Then, if this is a daily process for one day window, who care it takes 50 seconds ?
And if the window is the year, who care it takes 5 hours ? You don't have to run it every day, have you ?

There is no only count (count I need wehn using analytics functions), there are a few sum on some conditions (see sql bellow)...

For one interval of length 1 hour is selected about 3 000 records from 20M records using non unique index on DT. With step 1 minute - there is 1440 repetations of this select If one day get 50 seconds - this mean that one select take 35ms.
And for one year there is 1440 * 365 repetations => 1440 * 365 * 50 = 304 minutes (so this is estimation because time incrementation is not linear).

Yes, there is index on DT. I test btree and bitmap index (because in some case there can be some additional conditions).

This is base for user statistics query. User can set interval (start, end, length and step) and some aditional attributes (type, origin, destination, sectors) - up to 10 attributes which values are coded into varchar or numeric values.
This mean that result cannot be computed and stored in table - but must be computed on the user request (set of possible combination of parameters is too large).
Yes - if user select interval one year - long time is acceptable - but 20 - 50 seconds per day when user operate usually on month nterval (start,end) is horrible (10-50 minutes).
System is in analyzic state - we test if possible implement request on this statistics and findnig way how implement base queries. For concrete query i am able optimize it to usable form (using hints, some query rewrites and so) but for general not (too long runnig time)
