Hello all ...
hopefully without sounding too obtuse, we've run into a case where we
need to persist the contents of a view for performance reasons. As I
understand it (and I don't really) Oracle has something called a
snapshot, which "automatica lly" persists the contents of a view and can
determine the delta of the contents somehow. This would be PERFECT for
this application, since the data only updates monthly maybe, but in
chunks of 5-10 million rows. Truncating the table (excue my Oracle-like
language, I mean importing/replacing with an empty delimited file
<smile>) and persisting the view all over again is gonna be an "over the
weekend" kind of task - 25 hours we estimate.
Can anyone suggest (without flaming) a way to accomodate what appears to
be a useful Oracle feature?
TIA,

Take a look at materialized query tables (MQT's). It sounds like you
need to create one refresh deferred and then you need to create a
staging table to go along with it. Then you could do a delta refresh
rather than having to refresh the entire table.

It's called a Materialized Query Table (MQT) in DB2.
Check out the CREATE TABLE statement and SET INTEGRITY.
You can refresh yourself, or you can have DB2 refresh for you
immediately or at a later time.
Cheers

Serge,
Kewl. But does a refresh mean a rebuild? Is it that way for Oracle? A
rebuild would be the same as we are doing now, which is to create table
like view and select * from the view and insert into the created table.
What were trying to do is avoid the rebuild of the entire contents, since
it will be on the order of 100 million rows.
Thanks,
M

DB2 can do incremental refresh automatically or upon request (SET
INTEGRITY).
There ar esoem classes where refresh can be done and other where it can't.
E.g. if you have a query with the MIN and MAX for groupings.
That can be maintained incrementally.
Cheers

Dear all,
It seems there is a problem with some snapshot table functions, if you try
to divide by some element that is unset or equal to 0. This generates a trap
file with the db2fmp.exe process, that keeps going on, until your disk is
full. I'm on W2K, DB2 UDB 8.1 FP4.
Test case:

Is there anyway to display the partition number while taking snapshot
on all the partitions (-2) using the snapshot function?
ex,
select TABLESPACE_NAME, TOTAL_PAGES from table(SNAPSHOT_TBS_CFG ( ' ',

Is there anyway, I can get the partition number for which the data is
being retrieved?.

Is there any way in DB2 to automate the taking of a snapshot, for
example, a function that will cause a db2 snapshot to be taken every 5
minutes and written to a uniquely named file?
Am I better off attempting to do this with my poor knowledge of dos
batch files?
I'm running UDB 8.2 on Windows 2000.
Thanks.

Hi,
I have gone through the snapshot API. I need to use it for finding
location of database files, tablespace containers etc on a remote
machine. These parameters are present in the response. However, for
getting only some paramters, I get a huge response, with many
parameters that I do not need (mostly many are performance parameters).
How long can the snapshot response be, and can it considerably affect
performance?

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
