  1. Oracle Features -Partition Tables -External Tables By G.Gopi 25 December 2010 Saturday

  2. Partition Tables • What? Decompose table into smaller and more manageable pieces. • Why? To access very large Tables. • How? SQL queries and DML statements do not need to be modified.

  3. Advantages • Partitioning enables data management operations such data loads, index creation and rebuilding, and backup/recovery at the partition level, rather than on the entire table. This results in significantly reduced times for these operations. • import / export can be done at the " Partition Level". • Faster access of data. • Partitions work independent of the other partitions. • Very easy to use.

  4. Types • RANGE Partitioning • Based on the " Range of Column" values. • Each partition is defined by a " Partition Bound" (non inclusive). Ex: • CREATE TABLE COMPANY (EMPID NUMBER(10) NOT NULL,EMPNAME       VARCHAR2(200) NOT NULL,JOINING_DATE    DATE NOT NULL)PARTITION BY RANGE (JOINING_DATE) (PARTITION yr0 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-JAN-2007','DD-MON-YYYY'))TABLESPACE part1,PARTITION yr7 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-JAN-2008','DD-MON-YYYY'))TABLESPACE part2,PARTITION yr8 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-JAN-2009','DD-MON-YYYY'))TABLESPACE part3,PARTITION yr9 VALUES LESS THAN (MAXVALUE) TABLESPACE part4);

  5. Hash partitioning • Performance and manageability reasons. • Rows are mapped into partitions based on a hash value of the partitioning key. • EX: CREATE TABLE products      (partno NUMBER,       description VARCHAR2 (60))   PARTITION BY HASH (partno) PARTITIONS 4 STORE IN (tab1, tab2, tab3, tab4);

  6. List Partitioning • You can specify a list of discrete values (explicit control over rows). • Unordered and unrelated sets of data to be grouped. • Ex: Create table customers ( custcode number(5),                   Name varchar2(20),               Address varchar2(10,2),                   City varchar2(20),                  Bal number(10,2))      Partition by list (city), Partition north_India values (‘DELHI’,’CHANDIGARH’), Partition east_India values (‘KOLKOTA’,’PATNA’), Partition south_India values (‘HYDERABAD’,’BANGALORE’, ’CHENNAI’), Partition west_India values (‘BOMBAY’,’GOA’);

  7. Composite Partitioning • Using partitions and sub partitions. • Uses Range and Hash. • EX: CREATE TABLE orders( ord NUMBER, orderdate DATE, prod NUMBER, quantity NUMBER) PARTITION BY RANGE(orderdate) SUBPARTITION BY HASH(prod) SUBPARTITIONS 4 STORE IN(ts1, ts2, ts3, ts4) ( PARTITION q1 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-APR-2009', 'DD-MON-YYYY')), PARTITION q2 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-JUL-2009', 'DD-MON-YYYY')), PARTITION q3 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('01-OCT-2009', 'DD-MON-YYYY')), PARTITION q4 VALUES LESS THAN (MAXVALUE) );

  8. How to Alter • alter table sales add partition p6 values less than (1996); • alter table customers add partition central_India values (‘NELLORE’,’ANDHRA’); • alter table sales drop partition p5; • alter table sales truncate partition p5;

  9. External Tables

  10. External Tables • The external tables feature is a complement to existing SQL*Loader functionality. • External tables allow Oracle to query data that is stored outside the database in flat files. • No DML can be performed on external tables but they can be used for query, join and sort operations. Views can be created against external tables.

  11. Creating External Table • Create a directory and grant access to it. Ex: create directory load_src as '/usr/apps/datafiles'; GRANT READ ON DIRECTORY load_src TO user1; • Put the external table's data file in the data directory. • Ex: employee.csv. 0001,gopi,ggopi82@gmail.com 0002,Kumar,kumar@hotmail.com 0003,ganesh,ganesh@yahoo.com 0004,havish,sarma@buddy.com

  12. Creating External Table • Create table script Create table employee ( id varchar2(20), name varchar2(100), email varchar2(100) ) organization external ( default directory load_src access parameters ( record delimited by newline fields terminated by ‘,’ ) location (‘employee.csv’) );

  13. Note • The CREATE TABLE statement will succeed even if the external data file you specify doesn't actually exist • Oracle used the ORACLE_LOADER driver to process the file • The log, bad, discard files will be written to the default directory with default file names.
