Flashback Data Archive:

History Import Scripts

This sample code allows users to upload history into

Flashback Data Archive tables and to move history data
from other sources into Flashback Data Archive, and to
move history from one database to another.

DBFS Sample Store

2012-4-19

The TaBle FileSystem (TBFS) exposes a simple relational

table (primary key and BLOB column) as a DBFS
filesystem that, in conjunction with the dbfs_client, can be
accessed by filesystem tools. The TBFS sample code also
provides a useful starting template for building new custom
filesystems that plug into the DBFS framework. How it
works:

tbfs.rw.zip

TBFS plugs into the DBFS by implementing the DBFS

Store Provider Interface (SPI). The SPI methods in TBFS
generate a simple, flat, namespace that maps the primary
key of the table into DBFS pathnames, and providers
read/write access to the BLOB column via DBFS access
methods.
The techniques used in the TBFS implementation can be
easily adapted to build other custom filesystems.
Follow the instructions in the README.txt supplied with the
TBFS. The toplevel script tbfs.sq, when run as SYSDBA,
creates and sets up the TBFS.

PL/SQL Hierarchical
Performance Profiler
Demo

2011-10-24

This archive contains code to create several PL/SQL

programs and to use the PL/SQL hierarchical performance
profiler to record the execution of each. It also contains the
profiler output for each run, prepared as a set of mutually
cross-referencing HTML files. The slides for the
presentation that theses examples illustrate are included.

Self-contained Editionbased Redefinition

Exercise

2011-10-24

This code installs implements the "split one column into

two" Oracle Database 11gRelease 2 Edition-based
Redefinition (EBR) exercise that is described by many
different authors. First it installs the application ordinarily.
Then it makes the application EBR-ready. The online
property is proved by running uninterrupted, concurrent
done DML, from other sessions, while the application
upgrade is done

DNA Sample

2010-02-22

This sample uses the regular expression APIs in Oracle

Database 10gto parse the raw HTTP stream received from
the SGD database, and extract only the DNA sequence.
This sequence is stored in a table locally and further
analyzed to identify certain enzyme patterns using regular
expression functions.

User Validation Sample

2010-02-22

Using a typical user registration scenario, this sample

application uses the regular expression functions that are
implemented in Oracle Database 10g to validate user
inputs.

User Search Sample

2010-02-22

This sample demonstrates the use of Oracle Database

10gregular expression APIs to validate, search and extract
information from the database using TRIGGERs,
PROCEDUREs, CURSORs etc. Using the scenario of User
Information system, this sample uses variety of patterns to
search and extract user information such as hobbies and
interest, location information etc stored in a database table.

FORALL

2010-02-22

Oracle Database 10gintroduces support for the FORALL

syntax with non-consecutive indexes in collections. The

forallsample.zip

INDICES OF clause allows the FORALL syntax to be used

with sparse collections, while the VALUE OF clause is used
for collections of indexes pointing to other collections. This
sample shows how to use these features in a PL/SQL
application.
OWB SQL Developer
Reports

2010-10-01

The SQL Developer reports are primarily reports on the

OWB runtime, there are some simple reports for the design
and data quality, but the reports are mostly centered on the
runtime; analysis of map/flow timings, audit details etc.

Multilevel Collections

2010-04-11

There are two schema-level collection prototypes: VARRAY

and (nested) TABLE. Both define one-dimensional ordered
arrays of elements of a specified type, and can be
leveraged in the creation of user-defined schema-level
types.

Table Functions and

Cursor Expressions

2010-04-11

Cursor expressions (sometimes known as cursor

subqueries) are an element of the SQL language and preOracle9i were supported in SQL and by certain
programming environments but not by PL/SQL.
Oracle9iintroduced PL/SQL support for cursor expressions.
For example, a cursor expression can be used in the
SELECT statement used to open a PL/SQL cursor, and
manipulated appropriately thereafter. It can also be used as
an actual parameter to a PL/SQL procedure or function,
which has great significance in connection with table
functions.

Bulk Binding

2010-04-11

The assigning of values to PL/SQL variables in SQL

statements is called binding. The binding of an entire
collection at once is called bulk binding. Bulk binds improve
performance by minimizing the number of context switches
between the PL/SQL and SQL engines.

Using CASE
Statements in PL/SQL
programs

2010-04-11

While CASE constructs don't offer any fundamentally new

semantics, they do allow a more compact notation and
some elimination of repetition with respect to what

otherwise would be expressed with an IF construct.

Cursor reuse in PL/SQL
static SQL

2010-04-11

In order that a SQL statement can be executed, it has to be

parsed (checked for syntactic and semantic correctness)
and the execution plan has to be calculated. All this costs
computational resources. To save on these costs, the
Oracle instance maintains a system-wide LRU cache (aka
the shared cursor cache) - exposed via v$sqlarea - of
previously encountered SQL statements and appropriate
derived information so that when the next SQL statement is
submitted for parsing it is checked for match against the
cached ones. (The definition of the criterea for a match is
beyond the scope of this tutorial. Roughly speaking, the
current statement must be both textually identical to its
match candidate, famously to the extent of whitespace and
upper/lower case identity, and the types of the bind
variables must match.) When the current statement is
matched, the stored derived information (parse tree,
execution plan, etc) is reused and computational cost is
saved.

Overview of Utl_File
enhancements
introduced in
Oracle9iDatabase
Version 9.2.0

2010-04-11

Pre 9.2.0, the way to denote the director(ies) for files was
via the UTL_FILE_DIR initialization parameter. This
suffered from the disadvantages that the instance had to be
bounced to make changes to the list of directories and that
there was no secutity scheme (all users could access files
on all diretories). Version 9.2.0 allows the same mechanism
(the DIRECTORY schema object) to be used with Utl_File
as is used for BFILEs. You should consider the
UTL_FILE_DIR initialization parameter as slated for
deprecation.

Using RECORD binds

for SQL in PL/SQL
programs

2010-04-11

A PL/SQL RECORD is the datatype that corresponds to a

row in a schema-level table. It is the natural construct to
use when manipulating table rows programatically,
especially when a row is read (via SELECT,
UPDATE...RETURNING or DELETE...RETURNING),
manipulated programatically, and then recorded (via
INSERT or UPDATE) in an another table with the same

Utl_Http Package in
Oracle9iDatabase
Release 1

2010-04-11

The Web depends on automatic communication between

business sites across the public internet. The HTTP
transport mechanism is used to send the request and to
receive the reply. Though partners in a particular B2B
relationship could define standards for their protocols from
scratch, the de facto standard is emerging to use XML for
both request and reply. Of course we can expect increasing
standardization in future, extending to cover the specifics of
the XML encoding. Oracle9iDatabase Release 1 has
technology to allow both the sender and the receiver
straightforwardly to implement their services backed by an
Oracle database, and using only PL/SQL on top of
productized APIs.
