EXCHANGE PARTITION

Good Afternoon.

I am trying to use Exchange Partition. Schema STG has the base table (tbl_base) with the new data. Schema DWH has the partitioned table ( tbl_base_particionada).

I am executing a PL/SQL from schema STG. Schema STG has the DROP ANY TABLE provilege.

The Procedure works and does exchange partition, but returns the folowing exception :

ORA-01418: specified index does not exist


I notice the error takes place when I try to rebuild local unsuable indexes. If I comment the line , no exception is generated, but just a select count over the DWH schema table just populated takes long time.

If a rebuild the indexes direct from schema DWH, then the select count really improves so I think the indexes does need to be rebuild.

The following is the query I execute with the real objects :


        EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'TRUNCATE TABLE COMISIONES';                          INSERT INTO /*+ APPEND  PARALLEL(COMISIONES, 3) NOLOGGING */ COMISIONES          (            COM_VALOR,            COM_NEGOCIO,            COM_CODIGORESPONSABLE,            COM_CODIGOOFICINA,            COM_CODIGOSEGMENTO,            COM_FECHA,            COM_CODIGOPLAN,            COM_CODIGOCLIENTE,            COM_CODIGOPUC,            COM_CODIGOAPLICATIVO,            COM_TIPO          )          SELECT             "COM_VALOR",            "COM_NEGOCIO",            "COM_CODIGORESPONSABLE",            "COM_CODIGOOFICINA",            "COM_CODIGOSEGMENTO",            TO_DATE(TO_CHAR(COM_FECHA, 'DD/MM/YYYY'), 'DD/MM/YYYY'),                      "COM_CODIGOPLAN",            "COM_CODIGOCLIENTE",            "COM_CODIGOPUC",            "COM_CODIGOAPLICATIVO",            "COM_TIPO"          FROM EXT_COMISIONES_TMP;          COMMIT;                /* TRUNCAR  LA PARTICION */          EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER TABLE DWH.COMISIONES TRUNCATE PARTITION FEB2007 UPDATE GLOBAL INDEXES';          EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER TABLE DWH.COMISIONES MODIFY PARTITION FEB2007 REBUILD UNUSABLE LOCAL INDEXES';                      /* HACER EXCHANGE PARTITION CON LA TABLA DE GRANBANCOSTG */                    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER TABLE  DWH.COMISIONES EXCHANGE PARTITION FEB2007 WITH TABLE COMISIONES WITHOUT VALIDATION UPDATE GLOBAL INDEXES';          EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER TABLE DWH.COMISIONES MODIFY PARTITION FEB2007 REBUILD UNUSABLE LOCAL INDEXES';

Microsoft PDC to feature various technologies

Microsoft bills its upcoming Professional Developers Conference as a gathering of developers and architects and a chance to understand the future of Microsoft's platform. From this backdrop, the Los Angeles conference, which begins on October 26, is set to feature insights on a host of technologies ranging from model-driven software development to cloud computing and the Windows OS.

Highlights include a Community Technology Preview of Microsoft's "Oslo" software modeling platform, as well as sessions on the company's "Dublin" application server extensions for Windows. Microsoft's planned cloud OS, dubbed "Red Dog," also is expected to draw a lot of attention.

In some cases, technologies from different spaces will mesh together at the conference, such as during a session entitled, " 'Dublin' and .Net Services: Extending On-Premise Applications to the Cloud."

"Would you like to extend your existing SharePoint and .Net applications both on-premises and to the cloud in a non-intrusive way? This session will show you real-world examples of how to harness .Net Services workflow, access control and service bus to enhance business processes and add new capabilities to your application," the session description reads. "We will demonstrate the use of 'Dublin' Windows application server technologies to build extended application functionality. Lastly, you will see how workflow can be used to integrate across multiple organizations and the cloud," the session description reads.

Developers will have an opportunity to delve into specifics of the Oslo platform, including the planned M language set to anchor Oslo. "The 'Oslo' language, at the heart of the Oslo modeling platform, allows developers to quickly and efficiently express domain models that power declarative systems, such as Windows Workflow Foundation and 'Dublin,'" one session description reads.

For cloud computing, sessions are featured on cloud service development and problems being solved by cloud computing. Microsoft will present a cloud services road map for the next few years.

Windows 7 will be highlighted from various perspectives, including audio communications applications, design principles, designing background processes, and developing multitouch applications. Extension of battery life with Windows 7 is another topic covered at a PDC session.

Microsoft's Silverlight rich Internet application technology will be covered, including from a mobile application development angle. A road map also will be laid out for the 4.0 version of ASP.Net, Microsoft's technology for building Web sites. F#, Microsoft's functional programming language for the .Net Framework, will be pondered at PDC as well.

Other sessions tout agile and Web development with the Visual Studio platform as well as Microsoft's Surface SDK for touch-based computing interaction. Development of supercomputer applications also will be covered in a session pertaining to Windows HPC (High Performance Computing) Server 2008.

Microsoft's Live Services platform also is covered in detail, ranging from mesh services to programming services.

Another hot topic at PDC is virtualization. "Microsoft Application Virtualization (App-V), formerly known as Microsoft Softgrid Application Virtualization, allows companies to create and customize 'virtual packages' of desktop applications that can be streamed over the web providing a SAAS experience without a costly rewrite of the application," according to the conference Web site.

Project Velocity, Microsoft's distributed in-memory cache, will be detailed at PDC also, as will the future of the C# platform.

Common Language Runtime features of the .Net Framework will be examined. "Hear about support for in-process side-by-side CLR version support. Get a look at development improvements including code contracts and tools, mini dump debugging in Visual Studio, and enhanced base class libraries including BigInteger, tuples, and trees," the session agenda states.

Other topics to be covered include:

* A road map for Microsoft's Windows Presentation Foundation, including improvements planned for graphics, data visualization, performance and line of business application development.
* Microsoft Sync Framework, with the next version intended to make it easier to synchronize distributed copies of data across different types of systems and services.
* Mono, which puts the .Net Framework on platforms such as Linux.
* SQL Server 2008, featuring details on storing and querying semi-structured data.
* Geneva server and framework, for identity management.
* Oomph, a microformat toolkit for Web developers and designers.
