RE: partitioning questions
MyViews below... Regards, Viral Scenario: Range-Partition tableA on a service_date field by year; Range-Partition tableB on a posted_date field by year; These tables are frequently joined using a separate field called charge_id, a surrogate key. Queries against these tables usually include some sort of date filter, join on the charge_id field, and are done in parallel. 1) Would this configuration promote the use of partition-wise joins between tableA and tableB by the optimizer? -- NO, they have to be equi-partitioned and you have to specify atleast the leading keys in the join for both tables. 2) Would it be better to partition the tables (either range or hash) by the join field, charge_id? -- SEEMS like a good choice since you always limit your query on charge_id, however data distribution in that column also plays a role. 3) If we range-partition by date, subpartition by hash (charge_id), would queries that do not reference the date field, but do jointhe tables by charge_id still benefit? - Dont think that would help. However, you could have a global index on charge_id on both tables. If you insist topartition the data as mentioned in #3, then for the benefit of your queries you may want the exclusive globalindex on charge_id. (As there are pros, there are cons for this too) Again depending on the type of the data contents/value of the columns, you could have 2 bitmap indexes (one on the date and another on charge_id, but this is not always advisable) 4) Is it more expensive, less expensive, or about equal to do a full table scan on a partitioned table vs the same table non-partitioned? -- I think it is same as non-partioned tables.

Re: More question about TEMP
Ron, Data files in this case would be visible in dba_temp_files The object will exist after the session has ended but it will release any space if the session created rows in that object. In other words as you create more rows, it will allocate extents, as soon as your session ends it will release those temp extents, it will still have some space allocated to it since the definition of the table will remain in the schema. You can verify space allocation/deallocation using v$sort_usage dynamic view.

RE: How to load text file into database table
Dennis, Absolutely, I agree. Perl is very handy and easy to learn..., You could use awk also on unix, pretty nifty stuff... To answer to your situation where the REASON line could be more than one/two/three or n lines- Yes, you could use CONTINUEIF. It provides a comparison operators (= and !=) in each physical line to look for certain tokens in certain positions. You can look/peek at current, previous or next physical lines before deciding break of lof=gical record, while loading Pretty cool stuff. I think you can load any free-format as long as you can define logical record by some rule. Again, not to discount your suggestion, there are many ways, I just thought passing my idea. Cheers, Viral.

RE: Why does my insert creates so many logs?
A couple of things to try --- 1. Drop the indexes and primary key instead of disabling them. Insert the data and recreate pk. 2. This could be due to changes in data dictionary, when you insert large number of rows in the table, new extents may be allocated or high water mark of the table would be modified. This information need to be logged. I think that the redo generated due to this should not be very large though. Hope this helps.

RE: NLS_DATE_FORMAT
To set it at the session level, You need, Alter session set nls_date_format='DD-MON- HH24:MI'; You can give any valid format string. If you want this to happen automatically in your sqlplus session you can add this to your glogin.sql script. Hope this helps. Viral.

RE: couple of questions ???
Janet, 1. Did you try to compile the SP in your session before doing the show errors? It will only show errors to you if you did the compile prior to doing show errors. 2. One of the resons this could occur if there are stored objects like other packages, functions and procedure being referred to in your procedure and if they are invalid. If there are a number of invalid objects then this problem may occur..One way to verify this is to remove the dbms lines and try recompiling the package and see if it compiles..
