(Oracle can move this document at any time)
Step 1: check if DBMS_REDEFINITION can be used
There are multiple ways to use DBMS_REDEFINITION. I mainly use 2:
- Using PK
- Using ROWID
I've been always be able to finish the whole process with any of this two methods.
Step 1.1: Check Using PK
BEGIN DBMS_REDEFINITION.CAN_REDEF_TABLE( uname => 'SCHEMA_NAME', tname => 'TABLENAME', options_flag => DBMS_REDEFINITION.CONS_USE_PK); END; /
Step 1.2: Using ROWID
BEGIN DBMS_REDEFINITION.CAN_REDEF_TABLE( uname => 'SCHEMA_NAME', tname => 'TABLENAME', options_flag => DBMS_REDEFINITION.CONS_USE_ROWID); END; /
Step 2: Creating pivot table
Or interim as named in oracle. I prefer to use DBMS_METADATA to control the 100% of the process.
Step 2.1: Using CREATE .. SELECT
This is the most basic way to create the pivot table:
CREATE TABLE SCHEMA_NAME.INT_V AS SELECT * FROM SCHEMA_NAME.TABLENAME WHERE 1 = 2;
Step 2.2: Using DBMS_METADATA
Obtain metadata:
SELECT DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL('TABLE','TABLENAME', 'SCHEMA_NAME') FROM DUAL ;
Then modify the table name and if there's any LOB defined as BASICFILE, re-define it as SECUREFILE (default in 11g and onward).
Step 3: begin redefinition
Step 3.1: Using PK
BEGIN DBMS_REDEFINITION.START_REDEF_TABLE( uname => 'SCHEMA_NAME', orig_table => 'TABLENAME', int_table => 'INTM_TABLENAME', col_mapping => NULL, options_flag => DBMS_REDEFINITION.CONS_USE_PK); END; /
Step 3.1: Using ROWID
BEGIN DBMS_REDEFINITION.START_REDEF_TABLE( uname => 'SCHEMA_NAME', orig_table => 'TABLENAME', int_table => 'INTM_TABLENAME', col_mapping => NULL, options_flag => DBMS_REDEFINITION.CONS_USE_ROWID); END; /
Step 3.1: Using ROWID with virtual columns
If the table has virtual columns you'll obtain a nice:
ORA-01733: virtual column not allowed here
When using DBMS_REDEFINITION. A little of tunning must be done while redefining the table.
Is necessary to specify the NON-VIRTUAL columns and pass them to DBMS_REDEFINITION (l_colmap variable):
DECLARE l_colmap VARCHAR(512); BEGIN l_colmap := 'COLUMN1, COLUMN2, COLUMN3'; dbms_redefinition.start_redef_table ( uname => 'SCHEMA_NAME', orig_table => 'TABLENAME', int_table => 'INTM_TABLENAME', col_mapping => l_colmap, options_flag => DBMS_REDEFINITION.cons_use_rowid ); END; /
Step 4: copy table objects
DECLARE num_errors PLS_INTEGER; BEGIN DBMS_REDEFINITION.COPY_TABLE_DEPENDENTS('SCHEMA_NAME', 'TABLENAME','INTM_TABLENAME', DBMS_REDEFINITION.CONS_ORIG_PARAMS, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, TRUE, num_errors); dbms_output.put_line('Num_errors = ' || num_errors); END; /
Then check the errors:
SELECT object_name, base_table_name, ddl_txt FROM DBA_REDEFINITION_ERRORS;
If there're index/pk's/fk's/constraints you'll see errors there cause DBMS_REDEFENITION will try to do it twice.
Step 5: Sync tables
BEGIN DBMS_REDEFINITION.SYNC_INTERIM_TABLE('SCHEMA_NAME', 'TABLENAME', 'INTM_TABLENAME'); END; /
Step 6: FINISH IT!
BEGIN DBMS_REDEFINITION.FINISH_REDEF_TABLE('SCHEMA_NAME', 'TABLENAME', 'INTM_TABLENAME'); END; /
