I have a view in Oracle that uses PIVOT and I would like to apply it to an h2 database. However, Pivot is not yet supported in h2.
I am currently using CASE statements to do the pivot which is fine for now.
However, I am intrigued by user defined functions in h2.
Is it possible to create a generic PIVOT function in h2 by using user defined functions? Has anyone already done it?
Oracle and SQL Server are the only popular databases to have a PIVOT (or UNPIVOT) clause, which generates several aggregate columns for input rows.
In all other databases, you'll have to resort to do manual pivoting, the way you did.
Stack Overflow is full of such questions for MySQL, for instance:
MySQL pivot table
MySQL pivot in same table
MySQL pivot query

As per title, is it possible to write my own query in OracleSQL Developer and then plug it into Oracle Peoplesoft? Or is it possible to have a pivot query in Peoplesoft?
Yes, you can do that using a view.
After that you will create a new Query using your view, and if you want to, use the query as datasource for your pivot grid
Oracle PIVOT clauses are not supported, nor are any other database pivot-like clauses. And as suggested by Walucas, you can use a view with the PIVOT clause already written and then query the view. An alternate approach would be to use a series of left outer joins where each join is to the same table, each with a mutually exclusive set of rows. This is a hammer-like approach and very inelegant, but you can do this without having to create a view.
Am new to hiberante JPA. I am working on oracle to postgres migration and we are not using aws dms service for data migration. We would like to move ahead with Java for copying tables which have more than 1 million records. I have problem for below scenario.
Table A - Oracle
Table B - PostGres
Am extracting records from Oracle using ScrollableResults. Once i have the data from Oracle, i need to loop up a value in postgres database for data from Oracle before performing insert into postgres database.
I thought first #ColumnTransformer will help but it is not helping as i dont know how to reference data from oracle on ColumnTransformer expression.
So finally went ahead with writing normal insert query with values and subquery for lookup. Also set hibernate.jdbc.batch_size to 100.
I executed the program in this way and it took 5 mins for 10k records which i feel is slow.
is there any other solution for this problem to improve the performance.
Thanks for all your help
I found the solution. I solved it by storing postgres lookup table in list object then performing search in lookup table list object before performing insert. Now the speed is good.
I have the following scenario and need to solve it in ORACLE:
Table A is on a DB-server
Table B is on a different server
Table A will be populated with data.
Whenever something is inserted to Table A, i want to copy it to Table B.
Table B nearly has similar columns, but sometimes I just want to get
the content from 2 columns from tableA and concatenate it and save it to
Table B.
I am not very familiar with ORACLE, but after researching on GOOGLE
some say that you can do it with TRIGGERS or VIEWS, how would you do it?
So in general, there is a table which will be populated and its content
should be copien to a different table.
This is the solution I came up so far
create public database link
other_db
connect to
user
identified by
pw
using 'tns-entry';
CREATE TRIGGER modify_remote_my_table
AFTER INSERT ON my_table
BEGIN INSERT INTO ....?
END;
/
How can I select the latest row that was inserted?
If the databases of these two tables are in two different servers, then you will need a database link (db-link) to be created in Table A schema so that it can access(read/write) the Table B data using db-link.
Step 1: Create a database link in Table A server db pointing to Table B server DB
Step 2: Create a trigger for Table A, which helps in inserting data to the table B using database link. You can customize ( concatenate the values) inside the trigger before inserting it into table B.

Yes you can do this with triggers. But there may be a few disadvantages.
What if database B is not available? -> Exception handling in you trigger.
What if database B was not available for 2h? You inserted data into database A which is now missing in database B. -> Do crazy things with temporarily inserting it into a cache table in database A.
Performance. Well, the performance for inserting a lot of data will be ugly. Each time you insert data, Oracle will start the PL/SQL engine to insert the data into the remote database.
Maybe you could think about using MViews (Materialized Views) to replicate the data via database link. Later you can build your queries so that they access tables from database B and add the required data from database A by joining the MViews.
You can also use fast refresh to replicate the data (almost) realtime.
From perspective of an Oracle Database Admin this would make a lot more sense than the trigger approach.
try this code
database links are considered rather insecure and oracle own options are having licences associated these days, some of the other options are deprecated as well.

uses ora_rowscn to sync tables across two different oracle databases.
I am developing a java app which can connect to oracle database and selecting column names from any tables, after selecting columns i have to query the data from those tables which the user select in my java app, now my question is how can i join all tables in the database so that query returns data successfully, i want to connect to any oracle schema to a specific, i will make the logic in java, but i am unable to find the query which can extract the data from all tables, i tried natural join among all tables but it has dependency of having same name of connecting columns. so i want to know any generic way which can work in all conditions.
As others have mentioned.. it seems that there are other tools out there that you probably should leverage prior to trying to roll your own complex solution.
With that said if you wish to roll your own solution you could look into using some of oracle's dictionary tables. Such as:
Select * from all_tables;
Select * from all_tab_cols;
Can anyone suggest how to convert CONNECT BY Oracle query into Greenplum. Greenplum doesn't support recursive queries. So, we can not use WITH RECURSIVE. Is there any alternate solution to re-write the below query.
SELECT child_id, Parnet_id, LEVEL , SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH (child_id,'/') as HIERARCHY
FROM pathnode
START WITH Parnet_id = child_id
CONNECT BY NOCYCLE PRIOR child_id = Parnet_id;
There are ways to do this but it will be a one-off per query. You will need to create a function that loops through your pathnode table and "return next" to return each row. You can search on this site to find examples of doing this with PostgreSQL 8.2.
Work is happening to rebase Greenplum to PostgreSQL 8.3, 8.4, and so on. Those later PostgreSQL versions support "with recursive" which is the ANSI SQL way to write your SQL but Greenplum doesn't support it yet. When it does get supported by Greenplum, I don't think it will perform all that well. The query will force looping and individual row lookups. This works great in an OLTP database but not so well for an MPP database.
I suggest you transform your data in Oracle with a VIEW and then just dump the view to a file to load into Greenplum. The DDL of having a self-referencing, N-level table will never be a good idea in an MPP database.
