2 Built-In Procedures

TimesTen built-in procedures extend standard ODBC and JDBC functionality. You can invoke these procedures using the ODBC or JDBC procedure call interface. The procedure takes the position of the SQL statement, as illustrated in the following examples.

The following ODBC call tells the optimizer that it should not generate temporary hash indexes when preparing commands:

SQLExecDirect (hstmt, (SQLCHAR*)
       "{CALL ttOptSetFlag ('TmpHash', 0)}", SQL_NTS);

This is the equivalent JDBC call:

CallableStatement cstmt = con.prepareCall 
          ("{CALL ttOptSetFlag ('TmpHash', 0)}");
cstmt.execute();

TimesTen built-in procedures can also be called from PL/SQL using the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE statement with CALL, as illustrated in the following example.

For example, to call the built-in procedure ttConfiguration, create a PL/SQL record type and then SELECT INTO that record type. Because ttConfiguration returns multiple rows, use BULK COLLECT.

Command> DECLARE
       >   TYPE ttConfig_record IS RECORD
       >      (name varchar2(255), value varchar2 (255));
       >   TYPE ttConfig_table IS TABLE OF ttConfig_record;
       > v_ttConfigs ttConfig_table;
       > BEGIN
       >  EXECUTE IMMEDIATE  'CALL ttConfiguration'
       >   BULK COLLECT into v_ttConfigs;
       >  DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE ('Name: ' || v_ttConfigs(1).name
       >    || ' Value: ' || v_ttConfigs(1).value);
       > end;
       > /
Name: CacheGridEnable Value: 0
 
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

Note:

String parameter values for built-in procedures must be single-quoted as indicated in these examples, unless the value is NULL.

ttAgingLRUConfig

Description

This procedure sets the Least Recently Used (LRU) aging attributes on all regular tables that have been defined with an LRU aging policy. For cache tables, the aging policy is defined on the root table but applies to all tables in the cache group. The aging policy is defined on tables when they are created or altered, using the CREATE TABLE or ALTER TABLE SQL statements.

The LRU aging feature helps applications maintain the usage size of the database under a specified threshold by removing the least recently used data.

Data is removed if the database space in-use exceeds the specified threshold values. For cache groups, aging is defined at the root table for the entire cache instance. LRU aging cannot be specified on a cache group with the AUTOREFRESH attribute, unless the cache group is dynamic. For explicitly loaded cache groups with the AUTOREFRESH attribute, use time-based aging.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege to query the current values. It requires the ADMIN privilege to change the current values.

Syntax

ttAgingLRUConfig(LowUsageThreshHold, HighUsageThreshHold, AgingCycle)

Parameters

ttAgingLRUConfig has these optional parameters:

Parameter Type Description
lowUsageThreshold BINARY_FLOAT Sets, displays or resets the low end of percentage of database PermSize, specified in decimals. The bottom of the threshold range in which LRU aging should be deactivated. Default is 80%.
highUsageThreshold BINARY_FLOAT Sets, displays or resets the high end of percentage of database PermSize, specified in decimals. The top of the threshold range in which LRU aging should be activated. Default is 90%.
agingCycle TT_INTEGER Sets, displays or resets the number of minutes between aging cycles, specified in minutes. Default is 1 minute. If you use this procedure to change the aging cycle, the cycle is reset based on the time that this procedure is called. For example, if you call this procedure at 12:00 p.m. and specify a cycle of 15 minutes, aging occurs at 12:15, 12:30, 12:45, etc.

Result set

ttAgingLRUConfig returns these results:

Column Type Description
lowUsageThreshold BINARY_FLOAT NOT NULL The current setting for the low end of percentage of database PermSize, specified in decimals.
highUsageThreshold BINARY_FLOAT NOT NULL The current setting for the high end of percentage of database PermSize, specified in decimals.
agingCycle TT_INTEGER NOT NULL The current setting for the number of minutes between aging cycles, specified in minutes.

Examples

To set the aging threshold to a low of 75 percent and a high of 95 percent and the aging cycle to 5 minutes, use:

CALL ttAgingLRUConfig (.75, .90, 5);
<.7500000, .9000000, 5>

To display the current LRU aging policy for all tables that defined with an LRU aging policy, call ttAgingLRUConfig without any parameters:

Call ttAgingLRUConfig();

If the tables are defined with the default thresholds and aging cycle, the procedure returns:

<.8000000, .9000000, 1>
1 row found.

To change the low usage threshold to 60%, the aging cycle to 5 minutes and to retain the previous high usage threshold, use:

Call ttAgingLRUConfig (60,,5);
< .6000000, .9000000, 5 >
1 row found.

Notes

The values of this procedure are persistent, even across system failures.

If no parameters are supplied, this procedure only returns the current LRU aging attribute settings.

ttAgingScheduleNow
Oracle In-Memory Database Cache User's Guide

ttAgingScheduleNow

Description

This procedure starts the aging process, regardless of the value of the aging cycle. The aging process begins right after the procedure is called unless there is an aging process in progress. In that case, the new aging process begins when the aging process that was in process at the time the built-in was called has completed.

Aging occurs only once when you call this procedure. This procedure does not change any aging attributes. The previous aging state is unchanged. For example, if aging state is OFF when you call ttAgingScheduleNow, the aging process starts. When aging is complete, if your aging state is OFF, aging does not continue. To continue aging, you must call ttAgingScheduleNow again or change the aging state to ON, in which case aging occurs next based on the value of the aging cycle.

For tables with aging ON, the aging cycle is reset to the time when ttAgingScheduleNow was called. For example, if you call this procedure at 12:00 p.m. and the aging cycle is 15 minutes, aging occurs immediately and again at 12:15, 12:30, 12:45, etc.

If used in an external scheduler, such as a cron job, or executed manually, this procedure starts the aging process at the time the procedure is executed, if there is no aging process in progress, or as soon as the current aging process has completed. In the case that you want aging to occur only when the external scheduler executes the ttAgingScheduleNow procedure or you call it manually, set the aging state to OFF.

Aging is performed by a background thread that wakes up every second to check if any work must be done. Calling ttAgingScheduleNow only guarantees that the aging thread works on the specified tables within the next second, at best. If the aging thread is working on a different table at the time the built-in procedure is called, it may take some time to reach the specified table. The rows are visible until the aging thread commits the delete.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the DELETE privilege on the table being aged, or the DELETE ANY TABLE privilege when you do not specify a table.

Syntax

ttAgingScheduleNow ('tblname')

Parameters

ttAgingScheduleNow has the parameter:

Parameter Type Description
tblname TT_CHAR (61) The name of the table on which to start the aging process.

If tblName is omitted, the aging process is started on all tables defined with any aging policy.

Using a synonym to specify a table name is not supported.


Result set

ttAgingScheduleNow returns no results.

Examples

To schedule aging on all tables, including tables defined with both LRU aging and time-based aging, call ttAgingScheduleNow without any parameter values:

CALL ttAgingScheduleNow ();

This examples creates the table agingex with time-based aging policy and the aging state set to OFF. ttAgingScheduleNow is called, using the ttIsql utility, to start the aging process once. Rows are deleted from the table. After ttAgingScheduleNow is called, the aging state remains OFF. To continue aging, alter the table and set the aging state to OFF.

Command> CREATE TABLE agingex (col1 TT_INTEGER PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL, 
    ts TIMESTAMP NOT NULL) 
    AGING USE ts LIFETIME 1 MINUTES CYCLE 30 MINUTES OFF;

Command> DESCRIBE agingex;

ttCacheAutorefresh

Description

This procedure starts an immediate autorefresh on the set of cache groups that are associated by sharing the same autorefresh interval with the specified cache group. This set of associated cache groups would normally be refreshed together automatically. The effect on the autorefresh process is the same as that of adding a new cache group with the same refresh interval as that of the specified cache group. This procedure is useful if updates have occurred on the Oracle database and you would like to refresh them on the cache group before the next scheduled autorefresh.

If there is an existing transaction with locks on table objects that belong to the set of cache groups to be autorefreshed, this procedure returns an error without taking any action. This procedure establishes a condition that requires that you commit or rollback before you can perform other work in the session.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the CACHE_MANAGER or ADMIN privilege.

Syntax

ttCacheAutorefresh ('cacheGroupOwner', 'cacheGroupName', synchronous)

Parameters

ttCacheAutorefresh has the parameters:

Parameter Type Description
cacheGroupOwner VARCHAR2 (30) Name of the cache group owner.
cacheGroupName VARCHAR2 (30) NOT NULL Name of the cache group.
synchronous TT_INTEGER Species whether data is updated on synchronously or asynchronously.

0 or NULL - Asynchronous mode. The procedure returns immediately.

1 - Synchronous mode. The procedure returns after the refresh operation has completed on all associated cache groups.


Result set

ttCacheAutorefresh returns no results:

Example

This example autorefreshes the testcache cache group and all cache groups with the same autorefresh interval. The procedure returns synchronously.

Command> call ttcacheautorefresh('user1','testcache', 1);

Notes

The specified cache group autorefresh state must be ON. While, other associated cache groups can be in any state, they are not refreshed if they are not in the autorefresh ON state.An autorefresh of the specified associated cache groups cannot be in progress.You cannot call this procedure on the standby node of an active standby pair.

This procedure is available only for IMDB Cache.


ttCacheAutorefreshStatsGet

Description

This procedure returns information about the last ten autorefresh transactions on the specified cache group. This information is only available when the AUTOREFRESH state is ON or PAUSED, and the cache agent is running.

The information returned by this built-in procedure is reset whenever:

  • The cache agent is restarted.

  • The state is set to OFF and then back to ON or PAUSED.

  • The cache group is dropped and recreated.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttCacheAutorefreshStatsGet ('cacheGroupOwner', 'cacheGroupName')

Parameters

ttCacheAutorefreshStatsGet has the parameters:

Parameter Type Description
cacheGroupOwner VARCHAR2 (30) Name of the cache group owner.
cacheGroupName VARCHAR2 (30) NOT NULL Name of the cache group for which autorefresh information should be returned.

Result set

The ttCacheAutorefreshStatsGet built-in procedure returns only a subset of column information for a cache group with autorefresh mode FULL. A column value of 0 returns for information that is not available.

ttCacheAutorefreshStatsGet returns the results:

Column name Column type Description Returned for full autorefresh
cgId TT_BIGINT The cache group ID. Y
startTimestamp TT_TIMESTAMP Timestamp when autorefresh started for this interval. See "Notes" below. Y
cacheAgentUpTime TT_BIGINT Number of cache agent clock ticks in milliseconds at the time the autorefresh transaction started for this interval. This value is cumulative and is reset when the cache agent process starts. See "Notes" below. Y
autorefNumber TT_BIGINT Autorefresh number for a cache group indicates the number of times this cache group has been incrementally refreshed since the cache agent started. This number will be initialized to 0 when the cache agent is started. Y
autorefDuration TT_BIGINT The number of milliseconds spent in this autorefresh transaction. Y
autorefNumRows TT_BIGINT The number of rows autorefreshed in this autorefresh. This includes all rows, including those in the root table and the child tables.

If there are cache groups with multiple tables, child table rows get updated multiple times. Therefore, the number of rows autorefreshed may be more than number of rows updated on Oracle.

N
numOracleBytes TT_BIGINT The number of bytes transferred from Oracle in this autorefresh transaction. N
autorefNumRootTblRows TT_BIGINT The number of root table rows autorefreshed in this autorefresh transaction. Y
autorefQueryExecDuration TT_BIGINT The duration in milliseconds that it takes for the autorefresh query to execute on Oracle. N
autorefQueryFetchDuration TT_BIGINT The duration in milliseconds that it takes for the autorefresh query to fetch rows from Oracle. N
autorefTtApplyDuration TT_BIGINT The duration in milliseconds that it takes for TimesTen to apply the autorefresh. N
totalNumRows TT_BIGINT The total number of rows autorefreshed since the cache agent started.

The total number of rows autorefreshed may not be the same as number of rows updated on Oracle. This is because of a delay in marking the log; some updates may get autorefreshed and counted multiple times.

N
totalNumOracleBytes TT_BIGINT The total number of bytes transferred from Oracle since the cache agent started. N
totalNumRootTblRows TT_BIGINT The total number of root table rows autorefreshed since the cache agent started. Y
totalDuration TT_BIGINT The total autorefresh duration in milliseconds since the cache agent started. Y
status VARCHAR2 (128) A string description of the status of the current autorefresh. See "Notes" below. Supported values for this field are:
  • Complete

  • inProgress

  • Failed

Y

Example

In this example, testcache is a READONLY cache group with one table and an incremental autorefresh interval of 10 seconds.

Command> call ttcacheautorefreshstatsget('user1','testcache');

Notes

Most of the column values reported above are collected at the cache group level. For example, autorefDuration and autorefNumRows only include information for the specified cache group. Exceptions to this rule are column values cacheAgentUpTime, startTimestamp and autorefreshStatus. These values are reported at the autorefresh interval level.

StartTimestamp is taken at the beginning of the autorefresh for the autorefresh interval. A cache group enters the "in progress" state as soon as the autorefresh for the interval starts. It is not marked "complete" until the autorefresh for all cache groups in the interval are complete.

This procedure is available only for IMDB Cache.


ttCacheAwtMonitorConfig

Description

This procedure enables monitoring to determine the amount of time spent in each component of the workflow of an AWT cache group. To display the monitoring results, use the ttRepAdmin utility with the -awtmoninfo and -showstatus commands.

If the replication agent is restarted, monitoring is turned off.

Setting the monitoring state to OFF resets the internal counters of the monitoring tool.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the CACHE_MANAGER privilege.

Syntax

ttCacheAWTThresholdSet


ttCacheAWTThresholdSet

Description

This procedure sets the threshold for the number of transaction log files that can accumulate before AWT is considered either terminated or too far behind to catch up. This setting applies to all subscribers to the database. When the threshold is exceeded, updates are no longer sent to Oracle. If no threshold is set then the default is zero.

Using this built-in procedure, the threshold can be set after an AWT cache group has been created.

This setting can be overwritten by a CREATE REPLICATION statement that resets the Log Failure Threshold for the database.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the CACHE_MANAGER privilege.

Syntax

ttCacheAWTThresholdSet(threshold)

Parameters

ttCacheAWTThresholdSet has the parameter:

Parameter Type Description
threshold TT_INTEGER Specifies the number of transaction log files for all AWT cache groups associated with the database. If the threshold is NULL, the log failure threshold is set to zero.

Result set

ttCacheAWTThresholdSet returns no results.

Example

To set the threshold to allow 12 transaction log files to accumulate, use:

CALL ttCacheAWTThresholdSet(12);

Notes

This procedure is available for Oracle In-Memory Database Cache.

The user is responsible to recover when the threshold is exceeded.

ttCacheAWTThresholdGet


ttCacheConfig

Description

For all cache groups that cache data from the same Oracle instance, this procedure specifies a timeout value and recovery policies in the case that the Oracle Server is unreachable and the cache agent or database is considered terminated.

The automatic refresh state of the database and cache groups can be determined from the procedure ttCacheDbCgStatus.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the CACHE_MANAGER privilege.

Syntax

ttCacheConfig(Param, tblOwner, tblName, Value)

Parameters

ttCacheConfig has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
Param VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL Specifies the parameter to be set by Value:
  • AgentTimeout - Number of seconds before a database is declared terminated if the cache agent cannot connect to the Oracle server.

  • DeadDbRecovery - Specifies the type of autorefresh recovery when the cache agent restarts.

  • TblSpaceFullRecovery - Specifies the action that TimesTen takes when the cached Oracle table is updated and the cache administration user's tablespace is full.

  • TblSpaceThreshold - Specifies the cache administration user's tablespace usage warning threshold as a percentage.

tblOwner VARCHAR2(30) Specifies the owner of the cached Oracle table.

This parameter is required if Param is set TblspaceFullRecovery. Do not specify tblOwner for other values of Param.

A synonym cannot be used to specify a table name.

tblName VARCHAR2(30) Specifies the name of the cached Oracle table.

This parameter is required if Param is set TblspaceFullRecovery. Do not specify tblOwner for other values of Param.

Using a synonym to specify a table name is not supported.

Value VARCHAR2(200) Specifies the value to be set for Param.
  • When Param is AgentTimeout, it specifies the number of seconds before a database is declared terminated if the cache agent cannot connect to the Oracle server. The default is 0, which means that the database is never declared terminated.

  • When Param is DeadDbRecovery, the value can be Normal or Manual. Normal specifies a full automatic refresh. Manual specifies that REFRESH CACHE GROUP statement must be issued. The default is Normal.

  • When Param is TblSpaceFullRecovery, the value can be Reload or None. Reload specifies that rows are deleted from the change log table and a full automatic refresh is performed. None specifies that an Oracle error is returned when the cached Oracle table is updated. The default is Reload.

  • When Param is TblSpaceThreshold, the value can be 0 to 100. The default is 0, which means no warning is returned regardless of the tablespace usage.


Result set

ttCacheConfig returns no results when it is used to set parameter values. When it is used to return parameter settings, it returns the following results.

Column Type Value
Param VARCHAR2(50) Parameter name:
  • AgentTimeout

  • DeadDbRecovery

  • TblSpaceFullRecovery

  • TblSpaceThreshold

tblOwner VARCHAR2(30) Owner of the cached Oracle table.
tblName VARCHAR2(30) Name of the cached Oracle table.

Using a synonym to specify a table name is not supported.

Value VARCHAR2(200) Specifies the value set for Param.
  • When Param is AgentTimeout, it specifies the number of seconds before a database is declared terminated if the cache agent cannot connect to the Oracle server.

  • When Param is DeadDbRecovery, the value can be Normal or Manual.

  • When Param is TblSpaceFullRecovery, the value can be Reload or None.

  • When Param is TblSpaceThreshold, the value can be 0 to 100.


Examples

To set the cache agent timeout to 600 seconds (10 minutes), enter:

CALL ttCacheConfig('AgentTimeout',,,'600');

ttCacheDDLTrackingConfig

This procedure enables or disables tracking of DDL statements issued on cached Oracle tables. By default, DDL statements are not tracked.

DDL tracking saves the change history for all the cached Oracle tables. The SQL statement and its execution time are written to a table in the cache administration user schema on Oracle. One DDL tracking table is created to store DDL statements issued on any cached Oracle table. This information can be used to diagnose autorefresh problems.

See "Tracking DDL statements issued on cached Oracle tables" in Oracle In-Memory Database Cache User's Guide.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the CACHE_MANAGER privilege.

Syntax

ttCacheDDLTrackingConfig('trackingStatus')

Parameters

ttCacheDDLTrackingConfig has the parameter:

Parameter Type Description
trackingStatus TT_VARCHAR(10) Specifies whether DDL statements issued on cached Oracle tables are tracked. Valid values are:
  • enable - Enables tracking.

  • disable (default) - Disables tracking.


Result set

ttCacheDDLTrackingConfig returns no results.

Examples

Command> CALL ttCacheDDLTrackingConfig('enable');

ttCachePolicyGet

Description

This procedure returns the current policy used to determine when the TimesTen cache agent for the connected database should run. The policy can be either always or manual.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttCachePolicyGet()

Parameters

ttCachePolicyGet has no parameters.

Result set

ttCachePolicyGet returns the result:

Column Type Value
cachePolicy TT_VARCHAR(10) Specifies the policy used to determine when the TimesTen cache agent for the database should run. Valid values are:

always - Specifies that the agent for the database is always running. This option immediately starts the TimesTen cache agent. When the TimesTen daemon restarts, TimesTen automatically restarts the cache agent.

manual (default) - Specifies that you must manually start the cache agent using either the ttCacheStart built-in procedure or the ttAdmin -cacheStart command. You must explicitly stop the cache agent using either the ttCacheStop built-in procedure or the ttAdmin -cacheStop command.


Examples

To get the current policy for the TimesTen cache agent, use:

CALL ttCachePolicyGet ();

ttCachePolicySet

Description

The procedure defines the policy used to determine when the TimesTen cache agent for the connected database should run. The policy can be either always or manual.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the CACHE_MANAGER privilege.

Syntax

ttCachePolicySet('cachePolicy')

Parameters

ttCachePolicySet has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
cachePolicy TT_VARCHAR(10) NOT NULL Specifies the policy used to determine when the TimesTen cache agent for the database should run. Valid values are:

always - Specifies that the agent for the database is always running. This option immediately starts the TimesTen cache agent. When the TimesTen daemon restarts, TimesTen automatically restarts the cache agent.

manual (default) - Specifies that you must manually start the cache agent using either the ttCacheStart built-in procedure or the ttAdmin -cacheStart command. You must explicitly stop the cache agent using either the ttCacheStop built-in procedure or the ttAdmin -cacheStop command.

norestart - Specifies that the cache agent for the database is not to be restarted after a failure.


Result set

ttCachePolicySet returns no results.

Examples

To set the policy for TimesTen cache agent to always, use:

CALL ttCachePolicySet ('always');

Notes

This procedure is available only for IMDB Cache.

If you attempt to start the TimesTen cache agent (by changing the policy from manual to always) for a database with a relative path, TimesTen looks for the database relative to where TimesTen Data Manager is running, and fails. For example, on Windows, if you specify the path for the database as DataStore=./payroll and attempt to start the TimesTen cache agent with this built-in procedure, the agent is not started because TimesTen Data Manager looks for the database in the install_dir\srv directory. On UNIX, TimesTen Data Manager looks in the /var/TimesTen/instance directory.

Successfully setting the policy to always automatically starts the cache agent if it was stopped.

ttCachePropagateFlagSet

Description

This procedure allows you to temporarily stop any updates from propagating to Oracle.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the CACHE_MANAGER privilege.

Syntax

ttCachePropagateFlagSet(CommitsOn)

Parameters

ttCachePropagateFlagSet has the parameter:

Parameter Type Description
CommitsOn TT_INTEGER NOT NULL If 0, sets a flag to stop updates from being sent to Oracle. The flag remains set until the end of the transaction or until the procedure is set to 1.

If 1, updates are sent to Oracle.


Result set

ttCachePropagateFlagSet returns no results.

Notes

This procedure is available only for IMDB Cache.

When using this procedure, it is important to turn off AutoCommit, otherwise after the procedure is called the transaction ends and propagation to Oracle is turned back on.

The propagate flag is reset after a commit or rollback.

If the value of ttCachePropagateFlagSet is re-enabled several times during a single transaction, the transaction is only partially propagated to Oracle.

ttCachePropagateFlagSet is the only built-in procedure that can be used in the same transaction as any of the other cache group operations, such as FLUSH, LOAD, REFRESH and UNLOAD.


ttCacheSqlGet

Description

This procedure generates the Oracle SQL statements to install or uninstall Oracle objects for:

  • Read-only cache groups

  • User managed cache groups with incremental autorefresh

  • Asynchronous writethrough (AWT) cache groups

This is useful when the user creating the cache group does not have adequate privilege to write on the Oracle database. The Oracle DBA can then use the script generated by this built-in procedure to create the Oracle objects.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the CACHE_MANAGER privilege.

Syntax

ttCacheSqlGet('feature_name', 'cache_group_name', install_flag)

Parameters

ttCacheSqlGet has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
feature_name TT_VARCHAR (100) Can be specified as INCREMENTAL_AUTOREFRESH or ASYNCHRONOUS_WRITETHROUGH.
cache_group_name TT_VARCHAR (100) The name of the cache group. Specify NULL when installing objects for ASYNCHRONOUS WRITETHROUGH cache groups or to uninstall all Oracle objects in the AUTOREFRESH user's account.
install_flag TT_INTEGER NOT NULL If install_flag is 1, ttCacheSqlGet returns Oracle SQL to install the autorefresh or asynchronous writethrough Oracle objects.

If install_flag is 0, ttCacheSqlGet returns SQL to uninstall the previously created objects.


Result set

ttCacheSqlGet returns the result set:

Column Type Description
retval TT_VARCHAR (4096) NOT NULL The Oracle SQL statement to uninstall or install autorefresh or asynchronous writethrough Oracle objects.
continueFlag TT_SMALLINT NOT NULL Non zero only if the Oracle SQL statement in the retval result column exceeds 4096 bytes and must be continued into the next result row.

Example

CALL ttCacheSqlGet('INCREMENTAL_AUTOREFRESH', 'westernCustomers', 1);

To remove all Oracle objects in the AUTOREFRESH user's account, use:

CALL ttCacheSqlGet('INCREMENTAL_AUTOREFRESH', NULL, 0);

Notes

This procedure is available only for IMDB Cache.

Each returned retval field contains a separate Oracle SQL statement that may be directly executed on Oracle. A row may end in the middle of a statement, as indicated by the continueFlag field. In this case, the statement must be concatenated with the previous row to produce a usable SQL statement.

The script output of this procedure is not compatible with Oracle's SQL*Plus utility. However, you can use the ttIsql cachesqlget command to generate a script that is compatible with the SQL*Plus utility.

You can specify NULL for the cache_group_name option to generate Oracle SQL to clean up Oracle objects after a database has been destroyed by the ttDestroy utility.


ttCacheStart

Description

This procedure starts the TimesTen cache agent for the connected database.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the CACHE_MANAGER privilege.

Syntax

ttCacheStart()

Parameters

ttCacheStart has no parameters.

Result set

ttCacheStart returns no results.

Examples

To start the TimesTen cache agent, use:

CALL ttCacheStart ();

Notes

This procedure is available only for IMDB Cache.

The cache administration user ID and password must be set before starting the cache agent when there are or might be AUTOREFRESH or ASYNCHRONOUS WRITETHROUGH cache groups in the database.

If you attempt to start the TimesTen cache agent (by changing the policy from manual to always) for a database with a relative path, TimesTen looks for the database relative to where the TimesTen Data Manager is running, and fails. For example, on Windows, if you specify the path for the database as DataStore=./payroll and attempt to start the TimesTen cache agent with this built-in procedure, the agent is not started because TimesTen Data Manager looks for the database in the \srv directory. On UNIX, the TimesTen Data Manager looks in the /var/TimesTen/instance directory.

When using this procedure, no application, including the application making the call, can be holding a connection that specifies database-level locking (LockLevel=1).

ttCacheStop

Description

This procedure stops the TimesTen cache agent for the connected database.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the CACHE_MANAGER privilege.

Syntax

ttCacheStop(timeout)

Parameters

ttCacheStop has the parameter:

Parameter Type Description
timeout TT_INTEGER Specifies that the TimesTen daemon should kill the cache agent if it doesn't stop within timeout seconds. If set to 0, the daemon waits forever for the cache agent. The default value is 100 seconds.

Result set

ttCacheStop returns no results.

Examples

To stop the TimesTen cache agent, use:

CALL ttCacheStop();

Notes

This procedure is available only for IMDB Cache.

Do not shut down the cache agent immediately after dropping or altering a cache group. Instead, wait for at least two minutes. Otherwise, the cache agent may not get a chance to clean up the Oracle objects that were used by the AUTOREFRESH feature.

When using this procedure, no application, including the application making the call, can be holding a connection that specifies database-level locking (LockLevel=1).

ttCkpt

Description

This procedure performs a non-blocking checkpoint operation. The blocking checkpoints are described in "ttCkptBlocking". A checkpoint operation is used to make a record of the current state of the database on disk and to purge transaction log files. A non-blocking checkpoint does not require any locks on the database.

Applications should checkpoint databases periodically either by setting the background checkpointing attributes (CkptFrequency and CkptLogVolume) or by explicitly calling this procedure. Applications can call this procedure asynchronously to any other application running on the database.

By default, TimesTen performs background checkpoints at regular intervals.

In the case that your application attempts to perform a checkpoint operation while a backup is in process, the backup waits until the checkpoint finishes. Regardless of whether the checkpoint is a background checkpoint or an application-requested checkpoint, the behavior is:

  • If a backup or checkpoint is running and you try to do a backup, it waits for the running backup or checkpoint to finish.

  • If a backup or checkpoint is running and you try to do a checkpoint, it does not wait. It returns an error immediately.

To turn off background checkpointing, set CkptFrequency=0 and CkptLogVolume=0.

When a database crashes, and the checkpoints on disk are non-blocking checkpoints, TimesTen uses the log to recover.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the ADMIN privilege.

Syntax

ttCkpt()

Parameters

ttCkpt has these optional parameters:

Parameter Type Description
timeout TT_INTEGER The time (in seconds) that ttCkpt should wait to get a database lock before timing out. The value of timeout can be between 0 and one million, inclusively. If not specified, it defaults to infinity (the checkpoint never times out).
retries TT_INTEGER The number of times that ttCkpt should attempt to get a database lock, if timeouts occur. The value of retries can be between 0 and 10, inclusive. If not specified, defaults to zero.

Result set

ttCkpt returns no results.

Example

CALL ttCkpt();

Note

For a description of checkpoints, see "Transaction Management and Recovery" in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Operations Guide.

ttCkptBlocking

ttCkptHistory

ttCkptBlocking

Description

This procedure performs a blocking checkpoint operation. A checkpoint operation is used to make a record of the current state of the database on disk, and to purge transaction log files. This checkpoint requires exclusive access to the database, and so may cause other applications to be blocked from the database while the checkpoint is in progress.

When this procedure is called, TimesTen performs a blocking checkpoint when the current transaction is committed or rolled back. If, at that time, other transactions are in progress, the checkpointing connection waits until the other transactions have committed or rolled back. While the checkpoint connection is waiting, any other new transactions that want to start form a queue behind the checkpointing transaction. As a result, if any transaction is long-running, it may cause many other transactions to be held up. So this blocking checkpoint should be used with caution. To perform a non-blocking checkpoint, use the ttCkpt procedure.

No log is needed to recover when blocking checkpoints are used. TimesTen uses the log, if present, to bring the database up to date after recovery.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the ADMIN privilege.

Syntax

ttCkptBlocking(timeout, retries)

Parameters

ttCkptBlocking has these optional parameters:

Parameter Type Description
timeout TT_INTEGER The time (in seconds) that ttCkptBlocking should wait to get a database lock before timing out. The value of timeout can be between 0 and one million, inclusively. If not specified, it defaults to infinity (the checkpoint never times out).
retries TT_INTEGER The number of times that ttCkptBlocking should attempt to get a database lock, if timeouts occur. The value of retries can be between 0 and 10, inclusive. If not specified, defaults to zero.

Result set

ttCkptBlocking returns no results.

Example

CALL ttCkptBlocking();
CALL ttCkptBlocking(1,10);

Notes

Because the checkpoint takes place at commit or rollback, the call to ttCkptBlocking always succeed. At commit or rollback, any problems with the checkpoint operation, such as a lack of disk space or a timeout, result in a warning being returned to the application. Checkpoint problems are not reflected as errors, since the commit or rollback of which they are a part can succeed even if the checkpoint fails. Warnings are reflected in ODBC with the return code SQL_SUCCESS_WITH_INFO.

For more information on checkpoints, see "Transaction Management and Recovery" in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Operations Guide.

ttCkptConfig

Description

This procedure reconfigures the background checkpointer dynamically or returns the currently active settings of the configuration parameters. Changes made using ttCkptConfig become effective immediately. Thus, changes to ckptRate can take effect on a checkpoint that is currently in progress.

Changes made to the background checkpointer using ttCkptConfig are persistent. Subsequent loads of the database retain the new settings, unless the CkptFrequency and CkptLogVolume connection attributes are specified in the DSN or connection string, in which case the attribute values are used instead.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege to query the current values. It requires the ADMIN privilege to change the current values.

Syntax

ttCkptConfig(ckptFrequency, ckptLogVolume, ckptRate)

Parameters

ttCkptConfig has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
ckptFrequency TT_INTEGER Checkpoint frequency in seconds. Values from 0 to MAXINT are allowed. A value of 0 means that checkpoint frequency is not considered when scheduling checkpoints.
ckptLogVolume TT_INTEGER Log volume between checkpoints in megabytes. Values from 0 to MAXINT are allowed. A value of 0 means that checkpoint log volume is not considered when scheduling checkpoints.
ckptRate TT_INTEGER Specifies the rate in MB per second at which a checkpoint should be written to disk. A value of 0 indicates that the rate should not be limited, a value of NULL means that the rate should be left unchanged. Changes to this parameter take effect even on a checkpoint that is currently in-progress.

Result set

ttCkptConfig returns the following results.

Column Type Description
ckptFrequency TT_INTEGER NOT NULL Currently active setting for checkpoint frequency in seconds.
ckptLogVolume TT_INTEGER NOT NULL Currently active setting for log volume between checkpoints in Megabytes.
ckptRate TT_INTEGER NOT NULL Current rate at which checkpoints are written to disk.

Examples

To view the current settings of the background checkpointer configuration parameters, use:

CALL ttCkptConfig;
< 600, 32, 0 >
1 row found.

To stop the background checkpointer from initiating checkpoints unless the log reaches its limit, use:

CALL ttCkptConfig(0);
< 0, 32, 0 >
1 row found.

To stop the background checkpointer from initiating checkpoints, use:

CALL ttCkptConfig(NULL, 0);
< 0, 0, 0 >
1 row found.

To set the background checkpointer configuration to initiate a checkpoint every 600 seconds or to checkpoint when the log reaches 32 megabytes (whichever comes first), use:

CALL ttCkptConfig(600, 32);
< 600, 32, 0 >
1 row found.

Notes

By default, TimesTen performs background checkpoints at regular intervals.

In the case that your application attempts to perform a checkpoint operation while a backup is in process, the backup waits until the checkpoint finishes. Regardless of whether the checkpoint is a background checkpoint or an application-requested checkpoint, the behavior is:

  • If a backup or checkpoint is running and you try to do a backup, it waits for the running backup or checkpoint to finish.

  • If a backup or checkpoint is running and you try to do a checkpoint, it does not wait. It returns an error immediately.

To turn off background checkpointing, set CkptFrequency=0 and CkptLogVolume=0.

Description

This procedure returns information about the last eight checkpoints of any type taken by any agent.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttCkptHistory( )

Parameters

ttCkptHistory has no parameters.

Result set

ttCkptHistory returns the result set:

Column Type Description
startTime TT_TIMESTAMP NOT NULL Time when the checkpoint was begun.
endTime TT_TIMESTAMP Time when the checkpoint completed.
type TT_CHAR (16) NOT NULL The type of checkpoint taken. Value is one of:

Static - Automatically taken at database creation and at last disconnect.

Blocking - Transaction-consistent checkpoint.

Fuzzy - Non-blocking checkpoint. The background checkpointer performs this type if possible.

None - For ReplicationParallelism databases, which have no checkpoint files.

status TT_CHAR (16) NOT NULL Result status of the checkpoint operation. Value is one of:

In Progress - The checkpoint is currently in progress. Only the most recent result row can have this status.

Completed - The checkpoint completed successfully.

Failed - The checkpoint failed. Only the most recent result row can have this status. In this case the error column indicates the reason for the failure.

initiator TT_CHAR (16) NOT NULL The source of the checkpoint request. Value is one of:

User - A user-level application. This includes TimesTen utilities such as ttIsql.

Checkpointer - The background checkpointer.

Subdaemon - The managing subdaemon of the database. For a shared database, the final disconnect checkpoint is taken by the subdaemon.

error TT_INTEGER If a checkpoint fails, this column indicates the reason for the failure. The value is a TimesTen error number.
ckptFileNum TT_INTEGER NOT NULL The database file number used by the checkpoint. This corresponds to the number in the checkpoint file extension datastore.ds0 or datastore.ds1.
ckptLFN TT_INTEGER The transaction log file number of the checkpoint log record.
ckptLFO TT_INTEGER The transaction log file offset of the checkpoint log record.
blksTotal TT_BIGINT The number of permanent blocks currently allocated in the database. These blocks are subject to consideration for checkpointing.
bytesTotal TT_BIGINT The number of bytes occupied by blksTotal.
blksInUse TT_BIGINT Of blksTotal, the number of blocks currently in use.
bytesInUse TT_BIGINT The number of bytes occupied by blksInUse.
blksDirty TT_BIGINT The number of dirty blocks written by this checkpoint.
bytesDirty TT_BIGINT The number of bytes occupied by blksDirty.
bytesWritten TT_BIGINT The total number of bytes written by this checkpoint.
Percent_Complete TT_INTEGER If there is an in-progress checkpoint, indicates the percentage of the checkpoint that has been completed. If no checkpoint is in-progress, the value is NULL. The returned value is calculated by comparing the block ID of the last-written block against the database's PermSize. The value does not necessarily indicate the precise time remaining to complete the checkpoint, although it does give some indication of the remaining time needed to complete the disk write. The field shows only the progress of the writing of dirty blocks and does not include additional bookkeeping at the end of the checkpoint. The value is non-NULL if you call this procedure while a checkpoint is in progress.
ckptVNo TT_INTEGER NOT NULL The checkpoint sequence number that is incremented for each checkpoint.

ttCompact

Description

This procedure compacts both the permanent and temporary data partitions of the database.

ttCompact merges adjacent blocks of free space, but does not move any items that are allocated. Therefore, fragmentation that is caused by small unallocated blocks of memory surrounded by allocated blocks of memory is not eliminated by using ttCompact.'

This procedure is supported for backward compatibility. New applications should not call it.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the ADMIN privilege.

Syntax

ttCompact()

Parameters

ttCompact has no parameters.

Result set

ttCompact returns no results.

Example

CALL ttCompact;

Note

Compacting data does not modify result addresses.

See also

ttCompactTS


ttCompactTS

Description

This procedure is similar to ttCompact, except that ttCompactTS may be used to compact a small fraction of the database, while ttCompact compacts the entire database. ttCompactTS is a time-sliced version of ttCompact. ttCompactTS iterates through all the blocks in the database compacting the quantum specified each time. When a sweep is completed, the value of the DS_COMPACTS field in the MONITOR table is incremented.

This procedure is supported for backward compatibility. New applications should not call it.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the ADMIN privilege.

Syntax

ttCompactTS(quantum)

Parameters

ttCompactTS has the parameter:

Parameter Type Description
quantum TT_INTEGER NOT NULL A nonzero positive integer that specifies the number of data blocks a ttCompactTS should compact. Each quantum corresponds to one data block.

Result set

ttCompactTS returns no results.

Example

CALL ttCompactTS (5);

Note

Compacting data does not modify result addresses.

Syntax

ttContext()

Parameters

ttContext has no parameters.

Result set

ttContext returns the result set:

Column Type Description
CONTEXT BINARY(8) Current connection's context value.

Example

CALL ttContext;

Note

The context value numbers are unique only within a process. The context value number is not unique within the entire database. Therefore you may see the same context value number for different processes.

ttDurableCommit

Description

This procedure specifies that the current transaction should be made durable when it is committed. It only has an effect if the application is connected to the database with DurableCommits disabled and logging to disk enabled. (See "Logging".)

Calling ttDurableCommit also makes the current transaction and any previously committed non-durable transactions durable. There is no effect on other transactions that are committed subsequent to calling ttDurableCommit. ttDurableCommit does not commit transactions. The application must do the commit, for example with a call to SQLTransact.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttDurableCommit()

Parameters

ttDurableCommit has no parameters.

Result set

ttDurableCommit returns no results.

Example

CALL ttDurableCommit;

Note

Some controllers or drivers may only write data into cache memory in the controller or may write to disk some time after the operating system is told that the write is done. In these cases, a power failure may mean that some information you thought was durably committed does not survive the power failure. To avoid this loss of data, configure your disk to write all the way to the recording media before reporting completion or you can use an Uninterruptable Power Supply.


ttGridAttach

Description

This procedure attaches a grid member to an existing local cache grid. A grid member can be a standalone TimesTen database or a TimesTen active standby pair.

If a member is an active standby pair, both nodes of the pair must attach to the grid. When calling the ttGridAttach built-in procedure from each node of the active standby pair, specify the IP address or host name of both nodes.

This procedure starts the cache agent if it is not already running. This procedure cannot be used remotely.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the CACHE_MANAGER privilege.

Syntax

For a standalone TimesTen database:

ttGridAttach(currentNode, 'name1', IPAddr1, port1)

For a node of an active standby pair:

ttGridAttach(currentNode, 'name1', IPAddr1, port1 'name2', IPAddr2, port2)

Parameters

ttGridAttach has the parameters:

Parameter Type Description
currentNode TT_INTEGER NOT NULL The node number for the master database. Valid values for this parameter are:

1 - Standalone or active master database.

2 - Standby master database.

name1 TT_VARCAHR (30) Fully qualified name that uniquely identifies the grid member for the active master database.
IPAddr1 TT_VARCHAR (128) NOT NULL IP address of the node where the active master database resides.
port1 TT_INTEGER NOT NULL Port number for the cache agent process of the active master database or a standalone database.
name2 TT_VARCAHR (30) Fully qualified name that uniquely identifies the grid member for the standby master database.
IPAddr2 TT_VARCHAR (128) NOT NULL IP address of the node where the standby master database resides.
port2 TT_INTEGER NOT NOLL Port number for the cache agent process of the standby master database.

Result set

ttGridAttach returns no results.

Examples

To attach to a standalone TimesTen database to a grid:

CALL ttGridAttach (1, 'alone2','sys2',5002);

To attach an active master database to a grid:

CALL ttGridAttach(1,'cacheact','sys1',5003,'cachestand','sys2',5004);

To attach a standby master database to a grid:

CALL ttGridAttach(2,'cacheact','sys1',5003,'cachestand','sys2',5004);

"Setting Up a Replicated System" in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database TimesTen to TimesTen Replication Guide

ttHostNameSet

Description

This procedure specifies the name of the default local host for the current database. The value is only used in the current session, it is not a systemwide setting and does not persist after the current session has been disconnected.

To configure master/subscriber relationships and replication object permissions correctly, Replication DDL processing relies on being able to determine whether a host name used in a replication scheme refers to the computer on which the script is currently being run. This procedure allows an application to set a default host name for the current session that can be used by Replication DDL processing whenever there is a need to establish the name of the current host.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the ADMIN privilege.

Syntax

ttHostnameSet('hostName')

Parameters

ttHostNameSet has the parameter:

Parameter Type Description
hostName TT_VARCHAR (200) The required default name for the local computer. If NULL is supplied the default value is cleared.

Result set

ttHostNameSet returns no results.

Example

CALL ttHostNameSet ('alias1');

Note

The legal value of hostName can be any host name or IP address string except "localhost", "127.0.0.1" or "::1". You cannot set the default host name to a value that is different from a local host name used in an existing replication scheme.

ttLockLevel

Description

Changes the lock level between row-level and database-level locking on the next transaction and for all subsequent transactions for this connection. Applications can change the lock level again by calling ttLockLevel again. The initial value depends on the LockLevel attribute. See "LockLevel" for full details of the different locking levels.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the ADMIN privilege.

Syntax

ttLockLevel('lockLevel')

Parameters

ttLockLevel has the parameter:

Parameter Type Description
lockLevel TT_CHAR (20) NOT NULL Locking level for the connection.

The value of lockLevel may be one of two case-insensitive strings:

Row: Locking should be set to row-level locking.

DS: Locking should be set to database-level locking.

Result set

ttLockLevel returns no results.

Example

CALL ttLockLevel ('Row');

Notes

This procedure does not affect the current transaction.

Row-level locking is required when caching Oracle tables.

This procedure must be called from within a transaction. It has the effect of setting the locking level for subsequent transactions for the connection that invoked it. The new lock level does not affect the current transaction. It takes effect at the beginning of the next transaction.

ttLockWait


ttLockWait

Description

This procedure allows an application to change the lock timeout interval of the current connection. The change takes effect immediately and applies to all subsequent statements in the current transaction and all subsequent transactions on the connection.

The lock wait interval is the number of seconds to wait for a lock when there is contention on it. You can also indicate a fraction of a second.

Lock wait intervals are imprecise, and may be exceeded, generally by no more than 100 milliseconds, due to the scheduling of the agent that detects timeouts. This imprecision does not apply to zero second timeouts, which are always reported immediately.

Cache grid uses message wait time with lock wait time. When using cache grid, lock wait times are approximately half the value you have specified. If your applications require the full lock wait time, specify twice the desired seconds.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttLockWait(seconds)

Parameters

ttLockWait has the required parameters:

Parameter Type Description
seconds NUMBER (8,1) NOT NULL Number of seconds to wait for a lock when there is contention on it. You can also specify fractions of a second. Values between 0.0 and 1000000.0 inclusive are accepted.

Result set

ttLockWait returns no results.

Examples

To indicate a six second lock wait, use:

CALL ttLockWait (6);

To indicate a tenth of a second lock wait, use:

CALL ttLockWait (0.1);

Notes

When a lock is not immediately available to a TimesTen transaction, it waits a predetermined amount of time to try to get the lock. After that it times out the lock request and returns TimesTen error 6003 to the application. By default, TimesTen uses a value of 10 seconds for lock timeouts.

Of special interest is the lock time-out interval value of 0. If that value is specified, transactions do not wait for any unavailable locks. If the lock is not available, the request returns with TimesTen error 6003.

ttOptClearStats

Description

This procedure clears the statistics for the specified table, causing the TimesTen query optimizer to use estimates or default values for subsequent queries involving the table. The procedure is useful if statistics are assumed to be out of date and an application wants to use built-in default values. This procedure removes all rows from the TBL_STATS and COL_STATS system tables that pertain to the specified tables. See "SYS.TBL_STATS" and "SYS.COL_STATS" in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database System Tables and Limits Reference.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege for the table owner. This procedure requires no privilege if tblName is not specified, because the procedure operates on the current user's tables if tblName is not specified.

This procedure requires the ALTER ANY TABLE privilege if user is not the table owner.

Syntax

ttOptClearStats('tblName', invalidate)

Parameters

ttOptClearStats has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
tblName TT_CHAR (61) Name of an application table. Can include table owner. If tblName is the empty string or is not specified, statistics are cleared for all the current user's tables in the database.

Using a synonym to specify a table name is not supported.

invalidate TT_INTEGER 0 (no) or 1 (yes). Default is 0.

If invalidate is 1, all commands that reference the affected tables are reprepared automatically when they are re-executed, including commands prepared by other users.

If invalidate is 0, the statistics are not considered modified and existing commands are not reprepared.


Result set

ttOptClearStats returns no results.

Example

CALL ttOptClearStats ( 'SALLY.ACCTS', 1 );

Clears the statistics for the SALLY.ACCTS table and reprepares all commands that affect the ACCTS table.

CALL ttOptClearStats();

Clears the statistics for all the current user's tables and reprepares all commands that affect these tables.

CALL ttOptClearStats('', 0);

Clears the statistics for all the current user's tables without repreparing commands that reference these tables.

ttOptCmdCacheInvalidate

Description

You can use this procedure to recompile or invalidate dependent commands. Scenarios in which you may want to call this procedure include:

  • After all needed statistics have been collected.

  • When table cardinalities have been changed significantly.

The procedure either marks the command as needing recompilation or as invalidated.

Neither option stops execution of the command.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the DDL privilege.

Syntax

ttOptCmdCacheInvalidate('tblName', invalidate)

Parameters

ttOptCmdCacheInvalidate has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
tblname TT_CHAR(61) The name of the table for which the dependent commands should be invalidated or recompiled
action TT_INTEGER Recompiles or invalidates the dependent commands.
  1. 1 - Indicates that the commands should be recompiled. The command is recompiled during its first use after calling this built-in procedure. (default)

  2. 2 - Indicates that the commands should be invalidated. The command is not reused or recompiled again. If you call the command after you have marked it for invalidation, TimesTen returns an error.


Result set

ttOptCmdCacheInvalidate returns no results.

Example

To recompile dependent commands on the table tab1, use:

CALL ttOptCmdCacheInvalidate ('tab1', 1);

To invalidate the dependent commands on table tab1, use:.

CALL ttOptCmdCacheInvalidate ('tab1', 2);

ttOptEstimateStats

Description

This procedure updates the statistics for the specified table. This procedure estimates statistics by looking at a random sample of the rows in the specified table(s). The sample size is the number of rows specified (if sampleStr has the form 'n ROWS') or a percentage of the total number of rows (if sampleStr has the form 'p PERCENT').

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege for the table owner. This procedure requires no privilege if tblName is not specified, because the procedure operates on the current user's tables if tblName is not specified.This procedure requires the ALTER ANY TABLE privilege if user is not the table owner.

Syntax

ttOptEstimateStats('tblName', invalidate, 'sampleStr')

Parameters

ttOptEstimateStats has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
tblName TT_CHAR(61) Name of an application table. Can include table owner. If tblName is the empty string, statistics are estimated for all the current user's tables in the database.

Using a synonym to specify a table name is not supported.

invalidate TT_INTEGER 0 (no) or 1 (yes). If invalidate is 1, all commands that reference the affected tables are automatically prepared again when re-executed, including commands prepared by other users. If invalidate is 0, the statistics are not considered to have been modified and existing commands are not reprepared. The invalidate parameter is optional and defaults to 0.
sampleStr TT_VARCHAR (255) NOT NULL String of the form 'n ROWS', where n is an INTEGER greater than zero; or 'p PERCENT', where p is a floating point number between 0.0 and 100.0 inclusive.

Result set

ttOptEstimateStats returns no results.

Examples

CALL ttOptEstimateStats ( 'ACCTS', 1, '5 PERCENT' );

CALL ttOptEstimateStats ( 'ACCTS', 1, '75 ROWS' );

Notes

The TimesTen statistics include the number of rows in each table, the number of unique values in each column, and the minimum and maximum values in each column. TimesTen assumes a uniform distribution of column values.

This procedure only runs faster than ttOptUpdateStats when you sample less than 50 percent of the rows in the table.

Estimates are not computed on columns that are longer than 2,048 bytes, and statistics for these columns are not updated. To update statistics on columns longer than 2,048 bytes, use the ttOptUpdateStats built-in procedure. (For varying length columns, this procedure updates statistics only if the column has a maximum length of 2,048 bytes or less.)

If a very small value is chosen for the sampleStr parameter, this procedure runs quickly but may result in suboptimal execution plans. For "good" distributions of data, a 10 percent selection is a good choice for computing statistics quickly without sacrificing plan accuracy. If the number of rows specified is sufficiently large or the table in question is sufficiently small, to improve performance TimesTen computes exact statistics anyway on all columns that have a length of 2,048 bytes or less. For example, the only difference between

ttOptEstimateStats ('ACCTS', 1, '100 PERCENT' )

and

ttOptUpdateStats( 'ACCTS', 1 )

is that the former does not compute statistics for long columns.

The statistics are stored in the TBL_STATS and COL_STATS system tables.

For performance reasons, TimesTen does not hold a lock on tables or rows when computing statistics. However, computing statistics can still slow performance. Estimating statistics generally provides better performance than computing exact statistics.

ttOptSetColIntvlStats

Description

This procedure modifies the statistics for the specified columns with interval information. This procedure allows an application to set statistics manually rather than have TimesTen automatically compute them. This feature is useful for preparing commands before the data has been inserted or for seeing how table characteristics can affect the choice of execution plan. This procedure modifies the relevant row(s) in the COL_STATS system table. Modifying interval statistics for a column that is not currently indexed has no effect.

Because this procedure can be used before any data are in the table, the values specified do not need to bear any relation to the actual values, although some basic validity checking is performed.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege (if owner) or ALTER ANY TABLE privilege (if not owner).

Syntax

ttOptSetColIntvlStats('tblName', 'colName', invalidate, (stats))

Parameters

ttOptSetColIntvlStats has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
tblName TT_CHAR(61) NOT NULL Name of an application table. Can include table owner.

Using a synonym to specify a table name is not supported.

colName TT_CHAR(30) NOT NULL Name of a column in that table.
invalidate TT_INTEGER 0 (no) or 1 (yes). If invalidate is 1, all commands that reference the affected tables are automatically prepared again when re-executed. This includes commands prepared by other users. If invalidate is 0, the statistics are not considered to have been modified and existing commands are not reprepared.
stats VARBINARY (409600) NOT NULL Sets stats for the column, using the format:

(numInterval integer, numNull integer, totUniq integer, totTups integer,

/* information for interval 1 */

(numUniq integer, numTups integer, frequency of most occurred value integer, minVal, maxVal, modalVal),

/* information for interval 2 */...)

The modal value (modalVal) is the value that occurs most often in a specified interval.


Result set

ttOptSetColIntvlStats returns no results.

Example

To set the following statistics for column t1.x1:

  • Two intervals

  • Integer type

  • 10 rows with null value

  • 10 unique value

  • 100 rows

  • Interval 1 (4 unique values besides the most frequently occurring value, 40 rows with values other than most frequently occurring value, 10 rows with most frequently occurring value, min = 1, max = 10, mod = 5)

  • Interval 2 (4 unique values besides the most frequently occurring value, 20 rows with values other than most frequently occurring, 20 rows with most frequently occurring value, min = 11, max = 20, mod = 15)

Use the statement:

CALL ttOptSetColIntvlStats('t1', 'x1', 1, (2, 10, 10, 100, (4, 40, 10, 1, 10, 5),
 (4, 20, 20, 11, 20, 15)));

Notes

You must specify the minimum and maximum values in the interval as VARBINARY. NULL values are not permitted as minimum or maximum values. The value is stored in the platform-specific endian format.

This feature is useful for preparing commands before the data has been inserted or for seeing how table characteristics can affect the choice of execution plan. This procedure modifies the relevant row(s) in the COL_STATS system table.

Because this procedure can be used before the table is populated with data, the values specified do not need to bear any relation to the actual values, although some basic validity checking is performed.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege (if owner) or ALTER ANY TABLE privilege (if not owner).

Syntax

ttOptSetColStats('tblName', 'colName', numUniq, minVal,maxVal, 
 invalidate, numNull)

Parameters

ttOptSetColStats has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
tblName TT_CHAR(61) NOT NULL Name of an application table. Can include table owner.

Using a synonym to specify a table name is not supported.

colName TT_CHAR(30) NOT NULL Name of a column in that table.

ttOptSetFlag

Description

This procedure allows applications to alter the generation of execution plans by the TimesTen query optimizer. It sets flags to enable or disable the use of various access methods. The changes made by this call take effect during preparation of statements and affect all subsequent calls to the ODBC functions SQLPrepare and SQLExecDirect or the JDBC methods Connection.prepareCall and Statement.execute in the current transaction. All optimizer flags are reset to their default values when the transaction has been committed or rolled back. If optimizer flags are set while AutoCommit is on, they are ignored because each statement is executed within its own transaction.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttOptSetFlag('optFlag', optVal)

Parameters

ttOptSetFlag has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
optFlag TT_CHAR(32) NOT NULL Name of optimizer flag.
optVal TT_INTEGER NOT NULL The value of the optimizer flag. The value is generally 0 (disable/disallow) or 1 (enable/allow), except as described under "Optimizer flags" below.

Optimizer flags

When setting the optimizer flags, use the following character strings, which are not case sensitive:

Flag Description
BranchAndBound Enables or disables branch and bound optimization. If enabled, TimesTen calculates the maximum cost of the query plan during a "zero phase," at the very beginning of the optimization process. If disabled, TimesTen does not perform this cost analysis.
DynamicLoadEnable Enables or disables dynamic load of Oracle data to a TimesTen dynamic cache group.
DynamicLoadErrorMode Enables or disables dynamic load error mode. It controls output of error messages upon failure of a dynamic load operation on a TimesTen cache group. Disabled by default.
FirstRow Enables or disables first row optimization in a SELECT, UPDATE or DELETE statement. If the SQL keyword FIRST is used in the SQL statement, it takes precedence over this optimizer hint. The FIRST keyword enables first row optimization.
ForceCompile Enables or disables forced compilation. If enabled, TimesTen recompiles the query and regenerates the query plan each time. If disabled, TimesTen does not compile the query plan even if it is available.
GenPlan Enables or disables the creation of entries in the PLAN table for the rest of the transaction.

For an example, see "Generating a query plan" in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Operations Guide.

GlobalProcessing Enables or disables global execution of SELECT and UNLOAD CACHE GROUP statements in a grid. By default, these statements are executed locally.

0 - SELECT and UNLOAD CACHE GROUP statements are executed locally.

1 - SELECT and UNLOAD CACHE GROUP statements are executed globally.

See Oracle In-Memory Database Cache User's Guide for more details.

Hash Enables or disables the use of existing hash indexes in indexed table scans.
HashGb Enables or disables the use of hash groups.
IndexedOR Enables or disables serialized table scans. If disabled, TimesTen uses serialized table scans for IN...list conditions, else TimesTen uses multiple index scans for an OR condition.
MergeJoin Enables or disables the use of merge joins.
NestedLoop Refers to a common way of joining two tables.
NoRemRowIdOpt Enables or disables internal generation of RowIDs. If enabled, RowIDs are not internally generated for optimization purposes. If disabled, RowIDs may be internally generated, even if the row is not in the SELECT list.
PassThrough Temporarily changes the pass through level for IMDB Cache applications. The pass through level can be set at any time and takes effect immediately. Legal values for this flag are:

0 (default) - SQL statements are executed only on TimesTen.

1 - INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements are executed on TimesTen unless they reference one or more tables that are not in TimesTen. If they reference one or more tables not in TimesTen, they are passed through to the Oracle database. DDL statements are executed on TimesTen. Other statements are passed through to the Oracle database if they generate a syntax error in TimesTen or if one or more tables referenced within the statement are not in TimesTen.

2 - INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements performed on tables in read-only cache groups or user managed cache groups with the READONLY cache table attribute are passed through to the Oracle database. Passthrough behavior for other cache group types is the same as PassThrough=1.

3 - All statements are passed through to the Oracle database for execution, except that INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements issued on cache tables in a dynamic AWT global cache group result in a TimesTen error.

4 - SELECT statements issues on cache tables in a dynamic AWT global cache group that do not satisfy the criteria for a dynamic load query are passed through to the Oracle database for execution. Otherwise, statements are executed in the TimesTen database.

5 - SELECT statements issued on cache tables in a dynamic AWT global cache group that do not satisfy the criteria for a dynamic load query are passed through to the Oracle database for execution when all committed updates on cache tables in dynamic AWT global cache groups by previous transactions within the connection have been propagated to the Oracle database. Otherwise, statements are executed in the TimesTen database.

RowLock Allows or disallows the optimizer to consider using row locks.
Scan Refers to full table scans.
Rowid Enables or disables the use of Row IDs.
ShowJoinOrder Shows the join order of the tables in an optimizer scan.
TmpHash Enables or disables the use of a temporary hash scan. This is an index that is created during execution for use in evaluating the statement. Though index creation is time-consuming, it can save time when evaluating join predicates.
TblLock Enables or disables the optimizer to consider using table locks.
TmpTable Stores intermediate results into a temporary table. This operation is sometimes chosen to avoid repeated evaluation of predicates in join queries or sometimes just to allow faster scans of intermediate results in joins.
TmpTtree Performs a temporary range scan. Can also be used so that values are sorted for a merge join. Though index creation is time-consuming, it can save time when evaluating join predicates.
Ttree Enables or disables the use of existing range indexes in indexed table scans.
UseBoyerMooreStringSearch Enables or disables the Boyer-Moore string search algorithm. If enabled, Boyer-Moore string search algorithm is enabled. This can improve performance of LIKE operations.

In addition, the string AllFlags can be used to refer to all optimizer flags, and the string Default can be used to refer to the default flags. Default excludes the GenPlan flag but includes all other optimizer flags.

Flag description

The value of each flag can be 1 or 0:

  • If 1, the operation is enabled.

  • If 0, the operation is disabled unless absolutely necessary.

  • Initially, all the flag values except GenPlan are 1 (all operations are permitted).

For example, an application can prevent the optimizer from choosing a plan that stores intermediate results:

ttOptSetFlag ( 'TmpTable', 0 )

Similarly, an application can specify a preference for MergeJoin:

ttOptSetFlag ( 'NestedLoop', 0 )

In the second example, the optimizer may still choose a nested loop join if a merge join is impossible (for example, if there is no merge-join predicate). Similarly, the optimizer may occasionally not be able to satisfy an application request to avoid table scans (when the Scan flag is set to 0).

You cannot specify that a particular operation is prohibited only at a certain step of a plan or that a particular join method always be done between two specific tables. Similarly, there is no way to specify that certain indexes be used or that a hash index be used to evaluate a specific predicate. Each operation is either fully permitted or fully restricted.

When a command is prepared, the current optimizer flags, index hints and join order are maintained in the structure of the compiled form of the command and are used if the command is ever reprepared by the system. See "The TimesTen Query Optimizer" in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Operations Guide for an example of reprepared statements.

If both RowLock and TblLock are disabled, TimesTen uses row-locking. If both RowLock and TblLock are enabled, TimesTen uses the locking scheme that is most likely to have better performance:

TblLock status RowLock status Effect on the optimizer
Disabled Disabled Use row-level locking.
Enabled Disabled Use table-level locking.
Disabled Enabled Use row-level locking.
Enabled Enabled Optimizer chooses row-level or table-level locking.

In general, table-level locking is useful when a query accesses a significant portion of the rows of a table and/or when there are very few concurrent transactions accessing the table.

Result set

ttOptSetFlag returns no results.

CALL ttOptSetFlag ('TmpHash', 1);

ttOptGetMaxCmdFreeListCnt

ttOptSetMaxPriCmdFreeListCnt

Description

This procedure sets the maximum count of the free list of SQL compiled commands that perform materialized view maintenance.

When this command is set, freeable materialized view compiled commands are counted separately from those of regular tables. If this command is not set, materialized view compiled commands are counted as regular commands.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the ADMIN privilege.

Syntax

ttOptSetMaxCmdPriFreeListCnt(maxCnt)

Parameters

ttOptSetMaxPriCmdFreeListCnt has the required parameter:

Parameter Type Description
maxCnt TT_INTEGER NOT NULL The size of the SQL compiled command cache.

ttOptSetOrder

Description

This procedure specifies the order in which tables should be joined by the optimizer. The character string is a list of correlation names referenced in the query or a subquery, separated by spaces (not commas). The table listed first is scanned first by the plan. (It is outermost in a nested loop join, for example.) A correlation name is a shortcut or alias for a qualified table name.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttOptSetOrder('joinOrder')

Parameters

ttOptSetOrder has the required parameter:

Parameter Type Description
joinOrder TT_VARCHAR(1024) List of space-separated table correlation names. If an owner is required to distinguish the table name, use a table correlation name. If the joinOrder is not specified the query optimizer reverts to its default behavior.

Result set

ttOptSetOrder returns no results.

Examples

CALL ttOptSetOrder ('EMPS DEPTS ACCTS');

Use the correlation name instead of the actual table name when specifying the join order.

If an application makes the call:

call ttOptSetOrder('ORDERS CUSTOMERS');

The optimizer scans the ORDERS table before scanning the CUSTOMERS when evaluating the following query that lists all the customers who have at least one unshipped order:

SELECT CUSTOMERS.NAME
FROM  CUSTOMERS
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1
        FROM  ORDERS
        WHERE CUSTOMERS.ID = ORDERS.CUSTID
        AND  ORDER.STATUS ='UN-SHIPPED');

Consider an application that makes the following call.

ttOptSetOrder('DEPTS EMPS ACCTS');

The optimizer is prevented from executing a join between DEPTS and ACCTS when evaluating the number of employees working on a specific account:

SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT EMPS.ID)
FROM  ACCTS, DEPTS, EMPS
WHERE ACCTS.DEPTS = DEPTS.ID
AND  EMPS.DEPTS = DEPTS.ID
AND  ACCTS.NUM = :AcctNum

If the application does not reset the join order and tries to prepare a command that does not reference each of the three tables (and no others), the optimizer issues warning number 965. The specified join order is not applicable. TimesTen considers valid join orders and ignores the specified join order when preparing the command.

Notes

The string length is limited to 1,024 bytes. If a string exceeds this length, it is truncated and a warning is issued.

When correlation names referenced in subqueries are in included in the order, TimesTen may internally change the isolation mode.

When a command is prepared, the current optimizer flags, index hints, and join order are maintained in the structure of the compiled form of the command and are used if the command is ever reprepared by the system. See "The TimesTen Query Optimizer" in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Operations Guide for an example of reprepared statements.

The changes made by this call take effect immediately and affect all subsequent calls to the ODBC function SQLPrepare or the JDBC method Connection.prepareCall in the current transaction. The query optimizer reverts to its default behavior for subsequent transactions.

The tables referenced by a query must exactly match the names given if the join order is to be used (the comparisons are not case sensitive). A complete ordering must be specified; there is no mechanism for specifying partial orders. If the query has a subquery then the join order should also reference the correlation names in the subquery. In essence, the join order should reference all the correlation names referenced in the query. The TimesTen optimizer internally implements a subquery as a special kind of join query with a GROUP BY. For the join order to be applicable it should reference all the correlation names. If there is a discrepancy, a warning is issued and the specified join order is ignored completely.

ttOptSetTblStats

Description

This procedure modifies the statistics for the specified table. This procedure allows an application to set statistics explicitly rather than have TimesTen automatically compute them.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege (if owner) or ALTER ANY TABLE privilege (if not owner).

Syntax

ttOptSetTblStats('tblName', numRows, invalidate)

Parameters

ttOptSetTblStats has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
tblName TT_CHAR(61) NOT NULL Name of an application table. Can include table owner.

Using a synonym to specify a table name is not supported.

numRows TT_INTEGER NOT NULL Number of rows in the table.
invalidate TT_INTEGER 0 (no) or 1 (yes). If invalidate is 1, all commands that reference the affected tables are automatically prepared again when re-executed, including commands prepared by other users. If invalidate is 0, the statistics are not considered to have been modified and existing commands are not reprepared.

Result set

ttOptSetTblStats returns no results.

Example

CALL ttOptSetTblStats ( 'ACCTS', 10000, 0 );

Note

This feature is useful for preparing commands before the data has been inserted or for seeing how table size can affect the choice of an execution plan. Because the command can be used before any data are in the table, the values specified do not need to bear any relation to the actual values. This procedure modifies the relevant row(s) in the TBL_STATS system table. See "SYS.TBL_STATS" in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database System Tables and Limits Reference.

ttOptShowJoinOrder

Description

This procedure returns the join order of the last prepared or executed SQL statement (SELECT, UPDATE, DELETE, and INSERT SELECT) in the current transaction. For a join order to be collected, use ttOptSetFlag('ShowJoinOrder', 1) or set the ttIsql "ShowJoinOrder" command to ON (1) first in the same transaction. AUTOCOMMIT must be off when using either of these commands. The join order is represented by table names.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttOptShowJoinOrder()

Parameters

ttOptShowJoinOrder has no parameters.

Result set

ttOptShowJoinOrder returns the result:

Column Type Description
tblName TT VARCHAR (4096) NOT NULL Table names, including owner name quantifiers and correlation name for each table if specified. Table names are returned in parentheses.

Using a synonym to specify a table name is not supported.


Example

>AUTOCOMMIT 0;
> CALL ttOptSetFlag ('ShowJoinOrder', 1);
>PREPARE SELECT * FROM t1;
>CALL ttOptShowJoinOrder();
>( T1 )

Notes

You must call ttOptSetFlag('ShowJoinOrder', 1) or set the ttIsql "ShowJoinOrder" command to ON (1) before using this procedure.

This procedure works within one transaction and is not persistent across transactions.

ttOptUpdateStats

Description

This procedure updates the statistics for the specified table. TimesTen looks at the databases in the table and updates the TBL_STATS and COL_STATS system tables. If the table is large, this process can take some time. Statistics are not computed automatically as rows are updated; an application must compute them explicitly by calling this procedure.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege for the table owner. This procedure requires no privilege if tblName is not specified, because the procedure operates on the current user's tables if tblName is not specified.This procedure requires the ALTER ANY TABLE privilege if user is not the table owner.

Syntax

ttOptUpdateStats('tblName', invalidate, option)

Parameters

ttOptUpdateStats has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
tblName TT_CHAR(61) Name of an application table. Can include table owner. If a value of NULL or an empty string is provided, the statistics for all the current user's tables are updated.

Using a synonym to specify a table name is not supported.

invalidate TT_INTEGER 0 (no) or 1 (yes). If invalidate is 1, all commands that reference the affected tables are automatically prepared again when re-executed, including commands prepared by other users. If invalidate is 0, the statistics are not considered to have been modified and existing commands are not reprepared.

The invalidate parameter is optional and defaults to 0.

option TT_INTEGER Specifies whether to collect complete interval statistics information. Valid values for this option are:

Null or 0 - Collect complete interval statistics only if a range index exists on the column. If a range index does not exist, only single interval statistics are collected.

1 - Do not collect complete interval statistics. Only single interval statistics are collected.

See "Notes" below for more information.


Result set

ttOptUpdateStats returns no results.

Example

CALL ttOptUpdateStats ( 'ACCTS', 1 );

Updates the ACCTS table and causes all commands that reference the ACCTS table to be re-prepared when they are next executed.

CALL ttOptUpdateStats('', 1);

Updates all the current user's tables and causes commands on those tables to be reprepared when they are next executed.

CALL ttOptUpdateStats('ACCTS', 0, 1);

Forces single interval statistics to be collected.

Notes

If the table name specified is an empty string, statistics are updated for all the current user's tables.

When complete interval statistics are collected, the total number of rows in the table is divided into 20 or less intervals and the distribution of each interval is recorded in the statistics. The new statistics contain the information:

  • Number of intervals

  • Total number of NULLs in the column

  • Total number of NON NULL UNIQUE values in the column

  • Total number of rows in the table

  • Interval information; each interval contains:

    • The minimum value

    • The maximum value

    • The most frequently occurring value

    • The number of times the most frequent value occurred

    • The number of rows that have different values than the most frequent value

    • The number of unique values besides the most frequent value

Collection of complete interval statistics requires the data to be sorted.

If complete interval statistics are not selected, then statistics are collected by treating the entire distribution as a single interval.

For performance reasons, TimesTen does not hold a lock on tables or rows when computing statistics. However, computing statistics can still slow performance. Estimating statistics generally provides better performance than computing exact statistics. See "ttOptEstimateStats" for information on estimating statistics.

ttOptUseIndex

Description

This procedure allows applications to alter the generation of execution plans by the TimesTen query optimizer. It allows applications to disable the use of a set of indexes or enable the consideration of only a set of indexes for each correlation used in a query. Enabling the consideration of an index does not guarantee that the plan generated uses the index. Depending on the estimated cost, the optimizer might choose to use a serialization scan or a materialization scan to access the associated correlation if these scans resulted in a better plan than the ones that use the specified index.

The changes made by this call take effect immediately and affect all subsequent calls to the ODBC functions SQLPrepare and SQLExecDirect or the JDBC methods Connection.prepareCall and Statement.execute in the current transaction until the applications explicitly issue a call to clear it. The setting is cleared whenever a new transaction is started.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttOptUseIndex('IndexName, CorrelationName, 0 | 1 [;...]')

Parameters

ttOptUseIndex has a single string parameter, indOption, of type TT_VARCHAR(1024) with these components:

Component Description
IndexName The name of the user-defined index or '_TMPTTREE' for temporary range index or '_TMPHASH' for temporary hash index. If index name is omitted, the setting applies to all indexes of the specified correlation.
CorrelationName The correlation name of the table. If a table is defined with a correlation name in the FROM clause, use this correlation name instead of the table name when specifying the index hint for this table. If correlation name is omitted for an entry, the setting affects all tables with the specified index name.
0 | 1 Disables(0) or enables (1) the use of the index specified by IndexName.

Result set

ttOptUseIndex returns no results.

Examples

CALL ttOptUseIndex('"3456"."1234", t1, 0');

CALL ttOptUseIndex('data1.i1, data1.t1, 0');

CALL ttOptUseIndex('i1, t1, 0');

Note

If ttOptUseIndex is called without a parameter or with a NULL value, TimesTen clears the previous index hint.

ttRepStateGet

Description

This procedure returns the current replication state of a database in an active standby pair.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttRepStateGet()

Parameters

ttRepStateGet has no parameters.

Result set

ttRepStateGet returns the result:

Column Type Description
state TT_VARCHAR (20) NOT NULL The current replication state of the database. One of:

ACTIVE - The database is currently the active master database. Applications may update its replicated tables.

STANDBY - The database is the standby master database. Applications may only update its non-replicated tables.

FAILED - The database is a failed master database. No updates are replicated to it.

IDLE - The database has not yet been assigned its role in the active standby pair. It cannot be updated by applications or replication. Every store comes up in the IDLE state.

RECOVERING - The store is in the process of synchronizing updates with the active store after a failure.

gridState TT_VARCHAR (20) NOT NULL The current grid state of the database. One of:

NO GRID - The node is not attached.

AVAILABLE - The node is attached and the role of the node is consistent with the replication store state, either active or standby. Operations that could cause ownership change can be performed. These operations include AGING, DELETE, INSERT, LOAD, SELECT, and UNLOAD.

IN TRANSITION - The node is attached and is in transition to active state from standby state. This state can occur during the failover of an active standby state. The replication store is active but not available for operations that can change ownership. Operations that can change ownership are disallowed.

UNAVAILABLE - The node is attached but could not be switched to active grid state during the last failover due to an error. Replication store state is already in active state, but operations that can change ownership are disallowed. The user must fix the error condition and explicitly execute the ttGridAttach procedure to bring the node to active state.


Examples

To determine the replication and the grid state of the active standby pair, use:

Call ttRepStateGet();
<STANDBY, NO GRID>
 
Call ttRepStateGet();
<ACTIVE, NO GRID>
 
Call ttRepStateGet();
<ACTIVE, AVAILABLE>
 
Call ttRepStateGet();
<ACTIVE, UNAVAILABLE>

ttRepStateSave

Description

This procedure saves the state of a remote peer database in an active standby pair to the currently connected database. Currently, may only be used to indicate to the active database that the standby database, storeName on hostName, has failed, and that all updates on the active database should be replicated directly to the read-only subscribers.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the ADMIN privilege.

Syntax

ttRepStateSave('state', 'storeName', 'hostName')

Parameters

ttRepStateSave has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
state TT_VARCHAR (20) NOT NULL The replication state of the indicated database. May only be specified as FAILED in this release. Recording that a standby database has failed indicates that all replicated updates are to be sent directly from the active database to the read-only subscribers.
storeName TT_VARCHAR (200) NOT NULL Name of the database for which the state is indicated.
hostName TT_VARCHAR (200) Name of the host where the database resides.

Result set

ttRepStateSave returns no results.

Examples

To indicate to the active database that the standby database standby on host backup1 has failed, use:

ttRepStateSave('FAILED', 'standby', 'backup1');

ttRepStateSet

Description

This procedure sets the replication state of a database in an active standby pair replication scheme. Currently, ttRepStateSet may only be used to set the state of a database to ACTIVE, indicating that it is to take the active role in an active standby pair. ttRepStateSet may only be executed in the following situations:

  • A database has had a CREATE ACTIVE STANDBY PAIR command executed and no failures have occurred since.

  • A database is currently in the STANDBY state, and the other database in the active standby pair has had its state changed from ACTIVE to IDLE using the ttRepDeactivate procedure.

  • A database has just recovered from the local transaction log and was in the ACTIVE state before it went down.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the ADMIN privilege.

Syntax

ttRepStateSet('state')

Parameters

ttRepStateSet has the parameter:

Parameter Type Description
state TT_VARCHAR (20) NOT NULL The replication state of the database. Must be ACTIVE, in this release. Setting a store to ACTIVE designates it as the active database in an active standby pair.

Result set

ttRepStateSet returns no results.

Examples

To set the replication state of the database to ACTIVE, use:

CALL ttRepStateSet('ACTIVE');

replicationOwner TT_CHAR (30) NOT NULL The owner of the replication scheme. May be NULL to indicate all replication scheme owners.
masterStoreName TT_VARCHAR (200) NOT NULL The name of the master database with which the subscriber must sync.
masterHostName TT_VARCHAR(200) NOT NULL The master host. May be NULL to indicate all hosts of master peers.
waitTime TT_INTEGER NOT NULL Number of seconds to wait for the specified master(s). A value of -1 indicates to wait forever. This parameter is required and may not be NULL.

Result Set

ttRepSubscriberSync returns the following result set.

Column Type Description
timeOut BINARY(1) 0x00 - The wait succeeded within the allotted waitTime; the specified subscribers are up to date at the time this procedure was called. TimesTen returns 0x01 if not enough time has been granted.

Example

If there is one defined replication scheme REPOWNER.REPSCHEME, to direct the subscriber database to wait ten minutes to catch up with master REP1 on SERVER1, use:

ttRepSubscriberWait

Description

This procedure causes the caller to wait until all transactions that committed before the call have been transmitted to the subscriber subscriberStoreName. It also waits until the subscriber has acknowledged that the updates have been durably committed at the subscriber database.

Call this procedure in a separate transaction, when no other transaction is pending on the active database. This call returns an error if any transactions on the active database are open.

If you set the waitTime parameter to -1 and the subscriberStoreName parameter to NULL, the ttRepSubscriberWait procedure does not return until all updates committed up until the time of the procedure call have been transmitted to all subscribers, and all subscribers have acknowledged that the updates have been durably committed.

The ttRepSubscriberWait procedure should not be used when an urgent response is required. Instead, you should use the return receipt service.

Note:

If this procedure is called after all write transaction activity is quiesced at a store (there are no active transactions and no transactions have started), it may take a 60 seconds or longer before the subscriber sends the acknowledgment that all updates have been durably committed at the subscriber.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttRepSubscriberWait('replicationName', 'replicationOwner', 'subscriberStoreName',
 'subscriberHostName', waitTime)

Parameters

ttRepSubscriberWait has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
replicationName TT_CHAR (30) The name of the replication scheme on which to operate. May be NULL to indicate all replication schemes.
replicationOwner TT_CHAR (30) The owner of the replication scheme. May be NULL to indicate all replication scheme owners.
subscriberStoreName TT_VARCHAR (200) The name of the subscribing database whose state is to be set. May be NULL to indicate all stores on host subscriberHostName.
subscriberHostName TT_VARCHAR(200) The subscriber's host. May be NULL to indicate all hosts of subscribing peers.
waitTime TT_INTEGER NOT NULL Number of seconds to wait for the specified subscriber(s). A value of -1 indicates to wait forever. This parameter is required and may not be NULL.

Result Set

ttRepSubscriberWait returns the result set:

Column Type Description
timeOut BINARY(1) 0x00 - The wait succeeded within the allotted waitTime; the specified subscribers are up to date at the time this procedure was called. TimesTen returns 0x01 if not enough time has been granted.

Example

If there is one defined replication scheme REPOWNER.REPSCHEME, to direct the transmitting database to wait ten minutes for subscriber REP2 on SERVER2 to catch up, use:

CALL ttRepSubscriberWait('REPSCHEME','REPOWNER', 'REP2', 'SERVER2', 600);

ttRepSyncGet

Description

This procedure returns static attributes associated with the caller's use of the replication- based return service. This procedure operates with either the RETURN RECEIPT or RETURN TWOSAFE service.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttRepSyncGet()

Parameters

ttRepSyncGet has no parameters.

Result set

ttRepSyncGet returns the result set:

Column Type Description
requestReturn BINARY(1) 0 (default) - Don't wait for return notification configured with the RETURN RECEIPT BY REQUEST or RETURN TWOSAFE BY REQUEST option.

1 - Wait for the return notification. Commit resets this attribute to its default value of 0 ("off").

returnWait TT_INTEGER Specifies the number of seconds to wait for return service acknowledgment. The default value is 10 seconds. A value of `0' means that there is no wait time.This attribute persists across transaction boundaries and applies to all RETURN services independent of the BY REQUEST option.
localAction TT_INTEGER The current LOCAL ACTION configuration for RETURN services.

1 (default) - NO ACTION. When a COMMIT times out, it returns the application unblocked, leaving the transaction in the same state it was when the COMMIT began. The application may only reissue the COMMIT.

2 - COMMIT. When the COMMIT times out, the transaction is committed locally. No more operations are possible on this transaction, and the replicated databases diverge.This attribute persists across transactions and for the life of the connection.


Example

To retrieve the caller's requestReturn value, use:

SQLCHAR requestReturn[1];
SQLINTEGER    len;
rc = SQLExecDirect   ( hstmt
                , (SQLCHAR *) "{CALL ttRepSyncGet( NULL )}"
                , SQL_NTS )
rc = SQLBindCol     ( hstmt
                , /* ColumnNumber */      1
                , /* TargetType */      SQL_C_BINARY )
                , /* TargetValuePtr */     requestReturn
                ,./* BufferLength */      sizeof requestReturn
                , /* StrLen_ */         &len );
rc = SQLFetch( hstmt );
if ( requestReturn[0] ) {
...
}

Notes

When called within a standalone transaction, ttRepSyncGet always returns the default value for requestReturn.

ttRepSyncGet may be called at any point within a transaction in which it is used to request the BY REQUEST return service for that transaction.

If you call ttRepSyncGet in a transaction that does not, in fact, update any RETURN RECEIPT BY REQUEST or RETURN TWOSAFE BY REQUEST replication elements, the call has no external effect.

ttRepSyncSet

Description

This procedure sets static attributes associated with the caller's use of the replication-based return service. This procedure operates with either the RETURN RECEIPT or RETURN TWOSAFE service.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttRepSyncSet(requestReturn, returnWait, localAction)

Parameters

ttRepSyncSet has these optional parameters:

Parameter Type Description
requestReturn BINARY(1) 0x00 - Turn off the return service for the current transaction.

0x01 - Turn on return services for the current transaction. Committing the transaction resets this attribute to its default value of 0 ("off").

You can use this parameter to turn on or turn off return services only when the replication subscribers have been configured with RETURN RECEIPT BY REQUEST or RETURN TWOSAFE BY REQUEST.

returnWait TT_INTEGER Specifies the number of seconds to wait for return service acknowledgment. The default value is 10 seconds. A value of '0' means there is no wait time.

This timeout value overrides the value set by the RETURN WAIT TIME attribute in the CREATE REPLICATION or ALTER REPLICATION statement.

The timeout set by this parameter persists across transaction boundaries and applies to all return services independent of the BY REQUEST option.

localAction TT_INTEGER Action to be performed in the event the subscriber is unable to acknowledge commit of the transaction within the timeout period specified by returnWait. This parameter can only be used for return twosafe transactions. Set to NULL when using the RETURN service.

1 (default) - NO ACTION. When a COMMIT times out, it returns the application unblocked, leaving the transaction in the same state it was when the COMMIT began,. The application may only reissue the COMMIT.

2 - COMMIT. When the COMMIT times out, the transaction is committed locally. No more operations are possible on this transaction, and the replicated databases diverge.This attribute persists across transactions and for the life of the connection.


Result set

ttRepSyncSet has no result set.

Examples

To enable the return receipt service in the current transaction for all the replication elements configured with RETURN RECEIPT BY REQUEST or RETURN TWOSAFE BY REQUEST, use:

rc = SQLExecDirect ( hstmt
, (SQLCHAR *)"{CALL ttRepSyncSet( 0x01 )}"
                    , SQL_NTS )

Note

The call to enable the return receipt service must be part of the transaction (AutoCommit must be off).

ttRepSyncSubscriberStatus

Description

This procedure queries a subscriber database in a replication scheme configured with a return service and a RETURN DISABLE failure policy to determine whether return service blocking for the subscriber has been disabled by the failure policy.

The ttRepSyncSubscriberStatus procedure returns the failure status of the subscriber database with the specified name on the specified host. You can specify only the storeName. However, an error is generated if the replication scheme contains multiple subscribers with the same name on different hosts.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttRepSyncSubscriberStatus('storeName', 'hostName')

Parameters

ttRepSyncSubscriberStatus has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
subscriber TT_VARCHAR (200) NOT NULL The name of the subscribing database to be queried.
hostName TT_VARCHAR (200) The host name of one or more stores that are configured to receive updates from the executing store; if NULL, then receiving stores are identified by receiver alone. If both receiver and hostname are NULL, then all receiving stores are selected.

Result set

ttRepSyncSubscriberStatus returns:

Column Type Description
disabled TT_INTEGER Value is either:

'1' if the return service has been disabled on the subscriber database.

'0' if the return service is still enabled on the subscriber database.


Note

If the replication scheme specifies DISABLE RETURN ALL, then you must use ttRepSyncSubscriberStatus to query the status of each individual subscriber in the replication scheme.


ttRepTransmitGet

Description

This procedure returns the status of transmission of updates to subscribers for the current transaction. The corresponding ttRepSyncSet built-in procedure allows you to stop transmission of updates to subscribers for the length of a transaction.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the ADMIN privilege.

Syntax

ttRepTransmitGet()

Parameters

ttRepTransmitGet has no parameters.

Result set

ttRepTransmitGet returns the result:

Column Type Description
transmit TT_INTEGER 0 - Updates are not being transmitted to any subscribers for the remainder of the transaction on the connection.

1 (default) - Updates are being transmitted to subscribers on the connection.


Example

To return the transmit status on the active database in an active standby pair, use:

CALL ttRepTransmitGet();

ttRepTransmitSet

Description

This procedure stops subsequent updates on the connection it is executed in from being replicated to any subscriber.

This procedure should be used with care since it could easily lead to transactional inconsistency of remote stores if partial transactions are replicated. If updates are disallowed from getting replicated, the subscriber stores diverge from the master store.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the ADMIN privilege.

Syntax

ttRepTransmitSet(transmit)

Parameters

ttRepTransmitSet has the parameter:

Parameter Type Description
transmit TT_INTEGER NOT NULL When set to 1 updates are transmitted to subscribers on the connection after the built-in is executed to replicate (default).

When set to 0 updates are not transmitted to any subscribers for the remainder of the transaction in which this call was issued and on the connection that issued it.


Result set

ttRepTransmitSet returns no results.

Example

To activate the active database in an active standby pair, use:

CALL ttRepTransmitSet(1);

To deactivate the active database in an active standby pair, use:

CALL ttRepTransmitSet(0);

ttRepXactStatus

Description

This procedure checks on the status of a RETURN RECEIPT or RETURN TWOSAFE replication transaction. Using the built-in procedure ttRepXactTokenGet, you can get the token of a RETURN RECEIPT or RETURN TWOSAFE transaction. This is then passed as an input parameter to this built-in procedure. Only a token received from ttRepXactTokenGet may be used. The procedure returns a list of rows each of which have three parameters, a subscriber name, the replication status with respect to the subscriber and an error string that is only returned if a RETURN TWOSAFE replication transaction began but did not complete commit processing.

Note:

The error parameter is only returned for RETURN TWOSAFE transactions.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttRepXactStatus(token)

Parameters

ttRepXactStatus has the parameter:

Parameter Type Description
xactID VARBINARY (10000) If no parameter is specified, status is returned for one of the following:- If called in a transaction that has begun, but not completed, commit processing, it returns the status of the transaction.- If called at any other time, it returns status for the most recently committed transaction on the connection that was in RETURN RECEIPT or RETURN TWOSAFE mode.

Result set

ttRepXactStatus returns the result set:

Column Type Description
subscriberName TT_CHAR (61) The name of the database that subscribes to tables updated in the transaction. The name returns as: store_name@host_name.
state TT_CHAR (2) The state of the transaction with respect to the subscribing database. The return values are one of the following:

'NS' - Transaction not sent to the subscriber.

'RC' - Transaction received by the subscriber agent.

'CT' - Transaction applied at the subscriber store. (Does not convey whether the transaction ran into an error when being applied.)

'AP' - Transaction has been durably applied on the subscriber.

errorString TT_VARCHAR (2000) Error string retuned by the subscriber agent describing the error it encountered when applying the twosafe transaction. If no error is encountered, this parameter is NULL. Non-Null values are only returned when this procedure is called inside a twosafe replication transaction that has begun, but has not yet completed, processing a commit.

ttSetUserColumnID

Description

This procedure explicitly sets the value for the user-specified column ID. Updates presented to the application by the Transaction Log API may contain information about the columns of a table. This column information contains a system-specified column number and a user-specified column identifier. The user-specified column ID has the value 0 until set explicitly by this call.

The system assigns an ID to each column during a CREATE or ALTER TABLE operation. Setting a user-assigned value for the column ID allows you to have a unique set of column numbers across the entire database or a specific column numbering system for a given table.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the XLA privilege.

Syntax

ttSetUserColumnID('tblName', 'colName', repID)

Parameters

ttSetUserColumnID has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
tblName TT_CHAR(61) NOT NULL Table name.

Using a synonym to specify a table name is not supported.

colName TT_CHAR(30) NOT NULL Column name.
repID TT_INTEGER NOT NULL Integer identifier.

Result set

ttSetUserColumnID returns no results.

Example

CALL ttSetUserColumnID('APP.SESSION', 'SESSIONID', 15);

This procedure explicitly sets the value of the user table ID. The table that each row is associated with is expressed with two codes: an application-supplied code called the user table ID and a system-provided code called the system table ID. Updates are presented to the application by the Transaction Log API in the form of complete rows. The user table ID has the value zero until explicitly set with the ttSetUserTableID procedure.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the XLA privilege.

Syntax

ttSetUserTableID('tblName', repID)

Parameters

ttSetUserTableID has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
tblName TT_CHAR (61) NOT NULL Table name.

Using a synonym to specify a table name is not supported.

repID BINARY(8) NOT NULL Integer identifier.

Result set

ttSetUserTableID returns no results.

Example

CALL ttSetUserTableID('APP.SESSION', 0x123456);

ttSize

Description

This procedure estimates the size of a table or view. It returns a single row with a single DOUBLE column with the estimated number of bytes for the table. The table can be specified as either a table name or a fully qualified table name. A non-NULL nrows parameter causes the table size to be estimated assuming the statistics of the current table scaled up to the specified number of rows. If the nrows parameter is NULL, the size of the table is estimated with the current number of rows.

The current contents of the table are scanned to determine the average size of each VARBINARY and VARCHAR column. If the table is empty, the average size of each VARBINARY and VARCHAR column is estimated to be one-half its declared maximum size. The estimates computed by ttSize include storage for the table itself, VARBINARY and VARCHAR columns and all declared indexes on the table.

The table is scanned when this built-in procedure is called. The scan of the table can be avoided by specifying a non-NULL frac value, which should be between 0 and 1. This value is used to estimate the average size of varying-length columns. The maximum size of each varying-length column is multiplied by the frac value to compute the estimated average size of VARBINARY or VARCHAR columns. If the frac parameter is not given, the existing rows in the table are scanned and the average length of the varying-length columns in the existing rows is used. If frac is omitted and the table has no rows in it, then frac is assumed to have the value 0.5.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the SELECT privilege on the specified table.

Syntax

ttSize('tblName', nRows, frac)

Parameters

ttSize has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
tblName TT_CHAR(61) NOT NULL Name of an application table. Can include table owner. This parameter is required.

Using a synonym to specify a table name is not supported.

nRows TT_INTEGER Number of rows to estimate in a table. This parameter is optional.
frac BINARY_DOUBLE Estimated average fraction of VARBINARY or VARCHAR column sizes. This parameter is optional.

Result set

ttSize returns the following result set.

Column Type Description
size BINARY_DOUBLE NOT NULL Estimated size of the table, in bytes.

Examples

CALL ttSize('ACCTS', 1000000, NULL);

CALL ttSize('ACCTS', 30000, 0.8);

CALL ttSize('SALES.FORECAST', NULL, NULL);

When using ttSize, you must first execute the command and then fetch the results. For example:

ODBC

double size;
SQLLEN len;

rc = SQLExecDirect(hstmt, "call ttSize('SalesData', 250000, 
0.75)", SQL_NTS);
rc = SQLBindColumn(hstmt, 1, SQL_C_DOUBLE, &size, sizeof double,

ttVersion

Description

This procedure returns the five digits that make up the release number of the current TimesTen instance.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttVersion()

Parameters

ttVersion has no parameters:

Result set

ttVersion returns the result set:

Column Type Description
major TT_INTEGER NOT NULL The major release number. Indicates releases with major infrastructure and functionality changes.
minor TT_INTEGER NOT NULL The minor release number. Indicates a version with new functionality changes, but no infrastructure changes.
patch TT_INTEGER NOT NULL The patch release number. Indicates a release that contains all bug fixes since the previous maintenance release.
relDot4 TT_INTEGER NOT NULL Indicates a release with minor bug fixes.
relDot5 TT_INTEGER NOT NULL This digit in the release number is reserved for future use.

ttWarnOnLowMemory

Description

This procedure allows applications to specify that operations executed on the current connection should return a warning if they allocate memory and find that memory is low. If the value is set, a warning is returned for any operation that does an allocation and finds total memory in use to be above the connection's threshold value as specified by the PermWarnThreshold and TempWarnThreshold database attributes. See "Connection Attributes" for more information.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttWarnOnLowMemory(permanent, temporary)

Parameters

ttWarnOnLowMemory has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
permanent TT_INTEGER NOT NULL 1(enable) or 0 (disable) warnings for the permanent data partition.
temporary TT_INTEGER NOT NULL 1 (enable) or 0 (disable) warnings for the temporary data partition.

Result set

ttWarnOnLowMemory returns no results.

Example

CALL ttWarnOnLowMemory(1, 0);

Enables low memory warnings for the permanent data partition only.

Note

By default, low memory warnings are not issued for either partition. Applications that want to receive these warnings must call this procedure. This procedure is connection specific, and so you must issue it for each connection upon which warnings are desired. Also, the current setting does not persist to subsequent connections.


ttXactIdGet

Description

This procedure returns transaction ID information for interpreting lock messages. The two result columns of ttXactIdGet are used in combination to uniquely identify a transaction in a database. Taken individually, the columns are not interesting. The result should only be used to correlate with other sources of transaction information. The numbers may not follow a strict pattern.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttXactIdGet()

Parameters

ttXactIdGet has no parameters.

Result set

ttXactIdGet returns the result set:

Column Type Description
xactID TT_INTEGER Connection ID.
counter TT_BIGINT An increasing number that is used to discriminate successive transactions of the same transaction ID.

Example

Command > automcommit 0;
Command > call ttXactIdGet;
<2,11>
1 row found
Command > commit;
Command > call ttXactIdGet
<3, 12>
1 row found

Note

The output correlates to the values printed in lock error messages and ttXactAdmin lock information output.
