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 SQLExecDirect call invokes the ttOpsSetFlag built-in procedure to tell 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. See the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database PL/SQL Developer's Guide for more details on this statement.

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 percent.
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 percent.
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, and so on.

If the cycle is set to a value of 0, aging occurs once every second.


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 percent, 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

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, and so on.

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 ('cgOwner', 'cgName', synchronous)

Parameters

ttCacheAutorefresh has the parameters:

Parameter Type Description
cgOwner VARCHAR2 (30) Name of the cache group owner.
cgName 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.

Examples

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 TimesTen Cache.

ttCacheAutorefreshLogDefrag

Description

The ttCacheAutorefreshLogDefrag built-in procedure compact the trigger log space for a cache autorefresh table.

For usage details, see "Defragmenting change log tables in the tablespace" in the Oracle TimesTen Application-Tier Database Cache User's Guide.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the CACHE_MANAGER privilege.

Syntax

ttCacheAutorefreshLogDefrag ('action')

Parameters

ttCacheAutorefreshLogDefrag has the parameters:

Parameter Type Description
action VARCHAR (50) NOT NULL Acceptable values are:

Compact - Defragments only the trigger log space.

CompactAndReclaim - Defragments the trigger log space and the transaction commit buffer (reclaim space).

NOTE: The reclaim phase takes a lock on the trigger log table for a brief moment. This can suspend the workload from writing into the base table.


Result set

ttCacheAutorefreshLogDefrag returns no results.

Examples

In this example, the call compacts or defragments only the trigger log space.

Command> call ttCacheAutorefreshLogDefrag('Compact');

Notes

This procedure is available only for TimesTen 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 ('cgOwner', 'cgname')

Parameters

ttCacheAutorefreshStatsGet has the parameters:

Parameter Type Description
cgOwner VARCHAR2 (30) Name of the cache group owner.
cgName 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 is 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 the number of rows updated on the Oracle database.

N
numOracleBytes TT_BIGINT The number of bytes transferred from the Oracle database 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 the Oracle database. N
autorefQueryFetchDuration TT_BIGINT The duration in milliseconds that it takes for the autorefresh query to fetch rows from the Oracle database. 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 the Oracle database. 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 the Oracle database 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
numlogrows TT_BIGINT Number of rows fetched from the Oracle database in this autorefresh. Y
totalnumlogrows TT_BIGINT The cumulative number of rows fetched from the Oracle database in this autorefresh. Y
autorefLogFragmentationPct TT_BIGINT A low-water mark for table usage by percentage. If less than the specified percent of the table is used, the table is compacted. Y
autorefLogFragmentationTs TT_TIMESTAMP The timestamp when the last utilization/ fragmentation ratio was calculated Y
autorefLogDefragGcnt TT_BIGINT The number of times the table has been compacted. Y

Examples

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 TimesTen Cache.

ttCacheAutorefreshSelectLimit

Description

Configuring the incremental autorefresh to join the Oracle database base table with a limited number of rows from the autorefresh change log table is known as configuring a select limit. This is accomplished with the ttCacheAutorefreshSelectLimit built-in procedure.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the ADMIN or CACHE_MANAGER privileges.

Syntax

ttCacheAutorefreshSelectLimit ( autorefreshInterval, value )

Parameters

ttCacheAutorefreshSelectLimit has the parameters:

Parameter Type Description
autorefreshInterval TT_VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL The autorefreshInterval designates the cache group (the one with this autorefresh interval value) on which to apply the value.

The integer value for the autorefresh interval (in milliseconds) is the same value that was originally specified when the autorefresh cache group was created to indicate how often autorefresh is scheduled.

value TT_VARCHAR(30) The value denotes a limit of the number of rows to select from the autorefresh change log file to apply to the cached table. These changes are applied incrementally until all the rows in the autorefresh change log table have been applied.

If the value changes, it takes effect at the start of the next autorefresh cycle.

The value can be one of the following:

  • 'ON': Select at most 1000 rows at a time from the autorefresh change log table to apply for every autorefresh cycle.

  • number: Select at most a user specified number of rows from the autorefresh change log table during the autorefresh cycle. If the user specified a limit size of 2000 rows, then autorefresh selects at most 2000 rows at a time from the autorefresh change log table. If you specify a negative number, an error is returned.

  • 'OFF': Disables the select limit. The incremental autorefresh selects all rows from the change log table during the autorefresh cycle.

  • NULL: If the value provided is NULL or not specified, the current setting is returned.


Result set

ttCacheAutorefreshSelectLimit returns the select limit value that has been set for a particular autorefresh interval:

Column Type Description
autorefreshInterval TT_VARCHAR(30) The autorefreshInterval that designates the cache group (the one with this autorefresh interval value).
value TT_VARCHAR(30) The current value that shows the number of rows that is selected from the autorefresh change log file to apply to the cached table.

Examples

You can show the current setting by either providing a NULL value or no parameter. The following example shows the setting for incremental autorefresh cache groups with an interval value of 7 seconds.

Command> call ttCacheAutorefreshSelectLimit('7000', NULL);
< 7000, 2000 >
1 row found.
Command> call ttCacheAutorefreshSelectLimit('7000');
< 7000, 2000 >
1 row found.

The following example set a select limit to 2000 rows for incremental autorefresh cache groups with an interval value of 7 seconds.

Command> call ttCacheAutorefreshSelectLimit('7000', '2000');
< 7000, 2000 >
1 row found.

Notes

  • This procedure is available only for TimesTen Cache.

  • The ttCacheAutotrefreshSelectLimit built-in procedure can set a select limit only on an interval that is defined for a single cache group that contains one table, where the cache group is defined as a static read-only cache group with incremental autorefresh.

  • The setting for ttCacheAutorefreshSelectLimit is not replicated or duplicated. The user must execute the built-in on both the active and standby nodes.

  • The settings do not reset if you drop all cache groups for the interval.

  • The ttMigrate, ttBackup, and ttRestore built-in procedures do not preserve the setting of ttCacheAutorefreshSelectLimit.

  • If you alter the cache group autorefresh interval, it does not modify what was set previously through execution of ttCacheAutorefreshSelectLimit for the cache group. You can only alter the select limit for the cache group with the ttCacheAutorefreshSelectLimit built-in procedure.

ttCacheAutorefreshXactLimit

Description

This procedure specifies the interval at which an immediate autorefresh on single table cache groups within a specified autorefresh interval and commits after the specified number of operations.

This procedure is useful if updates have occurred on the Oracle database and you want to refresh them on the cache group before the next scheduled autorefresh.

To modify the reclaim buffer size, use the ttDBConfig built-in procedure.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the CACHE_MANAGER or ADMIN privilege.

Syntax

ttCacheAutorefreshXactLimit ('IntervalValue', 'Value')

Parameters

ttCacheAutorefreshXactLimit has the parameters:

Parameter Type Description
intervalValue VARCHAR2 (50) NOT NULL Indicates the interval at which the autorefresh cache groups are defined to occur in units of milliseconds. IntervalValue is an integer value in milliseconds that was specified when the autorefresh cache group was created on how often autorefresh is scheduled.
value VARCHAR2 (200) The Value can be one of the following:
  • 'ON' - Enables autorefresh to commit after every 256 operations.

  • 'OFF' - Disables the transaction limit for autorefresh cache groups and sets autorefresh back to using a single transaction.

  • number - Denotes when to commit after a certain number of operations. For example, if the user specifies 1024, then autorefresh commits after every 1024 operations in the transaction. If you specify a negative number, an error is returned.

  • NULL - When the value is NULL, 0 or not specified, the current setting is returned.


Result set

ttCacheAutorefreshXactLimit returns the results:

Column Type Description
intervalValue VARCHAR2 (50) NOT NULL The interval at which the autorefresh cache groups are defined to occur in units of milliseconds.
value VARCHAR2 (200) The Value can be one of the following:
  • 'ON' - Enables autorefresh to commit after every 256 operations.

  • 'OFF' - Disables the transaction limit for autorefresh cache groups and sets autorefresh back to using a single transaction.

  • number - Denotes when to commit after a certain number of operations. For example, if the user specifies 1024, then autorefresh commits after every 1024 operations in the transaction. If you specify a negative number, an error is returned.

  • NULL - When the value is NULL or not specified, the current setting is returned.


Examples

The following example sets up the transaction limit to commit after every 256 operations for all incremental autorefresh read-only cache groups that are defined with an interval value of 10 seconds.

call ttCacheAutorefreshXactLimit('10000', 'ON');

After the month end process has completed and the incremental autorefresh read-only cache groups are refreshed, disable the transaction limit for incremental autorefresh read-only cache groups that are defined with the interval value of 10 seconds.

call ttCacheAutorefreshXactLimit('10000', 'OFF');

To enable the transaction limit for incremental autorefresh read-only cache groups to commit after every 2000 operations, provide 2000 as the value as follows:

call ttCacheAutorefreshXactLimit('10000', '2000');

Notes

  • This procedure is available only for TimesTen Cache. This built-in procedure only applies for static read-only cache groups with incremental autorefresh.

  • While autorefresh is in-progress and is being applied in several small transactions, transactional consistency cannot be maintained. Once the autorefresh cycle has completed, the data is transactional consistent.

  • The setting for ttCacheAutorefreshXactLimit is not replicated or duplicated. The user must execute the built-in procedure on both the active and standby nodes.

  • The settings do not reset if you drop all cache groups for the interval.

  • The ttMigrate, ttBackup, and ttRestore built-in procedures do not preserve the setting of ttCacheAutorefreshXactLimit.

  • If you alter the cache group autorefresh interval, it does not modify the setting of ttCacheAutorefreshXactLimit.

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.

Run this procedure on the replication node that is replicating AWT changes to the Oracle database. If the active standby pair is functioning normally, the node replicating AWT changes is the standby. If the active is operating standalone, the node replicating AWT changes is the active.

If a failure occurs on the node where the active database resides, the standby node becomes the new active node. In that case you would run this procedure on the new active node.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the CACHE_MANAGER privilege.

Syntax

ttCacheAWTMonitorConfig (['state'], [samplingRate])

Parameters

ttCacheAWTMonitorConfig has the optional parameters:

Parameter Type Description
state TT_CHAR(10) Enables and disables AWT monitoring. Its value can be ON or OFF. Default is OFF
samplingRate TT_INTEGER Positive integer that specifies the frequency with which the AWT workflow is sampled. If samplingRate is set to 1, every AWT operation is monitored. Greater values indicate less frequent sampling. The value recommended for accuracy and performance is 16. If state is set to ON, the default for samplingRate is 16. If state is set to OFF, the default for samplingRate is 0.

Result set

ttCacheAWTMonitorConfig returns the following result if you do not specify any parameters. It returns an error if the replication agent is not running or if an AWT cache group has not been created.

Column Type Description
state TTVARCHAR (10) NOT NULL Current state of AWT monitoring. The value can be ON or OFF.
AWTSamplingFactor TT_INTEGER NOT NULL Positive integer that specifies the frequency with which the AWT workflow is sampled.

Examples

Example 2-1

Retrieve the current state and sampling factor when monitoring is disabled.

Command> CALL ttCacheAWTMonitorConfig;
< OFF, 0 >
1 row found.

Example 2-2

Enable monitoring and set the sampling frequency to 16.

Command> CALL ttCacheAWTMonitorConfig ('ON', 16);
< ON, 16 >
1 row found.

Example 2-3

Disable monitoring.

Command> CALL ttCacheAWTMonitorConfig; ('OFF')
< OFF, 0 >
1 row found.

ttCacheAWTThresholdGet

Description

This procedure returns the current transaction log file threshold for databases that include AWT cache groups.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttCacheAWTThresholdGet()

Parameters

ttCacheAWTThresholdGet has no parameters.

Result set

ttCacheAWTThresholdGet returns the result:

Column Type Description
threshold TT_INTEGER NOT NULL The number of transaction log files for all AWT cache groups associated with the database. If the result is 0, there is no set limit.

Examples

CALL ttCacheAWTThresholdGet();

Notes

This procedure is available only for TimesTen Cache.

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 the Oracle database. 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.

Examples

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

CALL ttCacheAWTThresholdSet(12);

Notes

This procedure is available for TimesTen Cache.

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

ttCacheCheck

Description

The ttCacheCheck built-in procedure performs a check for missing constraints for cached tables on the Oracle database.

Any unique index, unique constraint, or foreign key constraint on columns in Oracle Database tables that are to be cached should also be created on asynchronous writethrough cache tables within TimesTen. If you have not created these constraints on the AWT cache tables and you have configured the cache group for parallel propagation, TimesTen serializes any transactions with DML operations to those tables with missing constraints.

This procedure provides information about missing constraints and the tables marked for serialized propagation.

Call ttCacheCheck to manually check for missing constraints, under these conditions:

  • After completing a series of DROP CACHE GROUP statements.

  • After creating or dropping a unique index or foreign key on the Oracle database.

  • To determine why some transactions are being serialized.

This procedure updates system tables to indicate if DML executed against a table should or should not be serialized, therefore you must commit or roll back after the ttCacheCheck built-in completes.

For more details on parallel propagation, see "Configuring parallel propagation to Oracle Database tables" in the Oracle TimesTen Application-Tier Database Cache User's Guide.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the CACHE_MANAGER privilege.

Syntax

ttCacheCheck('operation', cgOwner, cgName)

Parameters

ttCacheCheck has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
operation TT_VARCHAR(30) Specifies the constraint to be checked. Legal values are:
  • ForeignKey -Checks foreign key constraints

  • Unique - Checks unique constraints

  • Awt - Checks both foreign key and unique constraints

  • NULL - Checks both foreign key and unique constraints

cgOwner TT_VARCHAR(30) Specifies the owner of the cached Oracle database table.

If NULL, checks all asynchronous writethrough cache groups owned by the connection user.

If both cgOwner and cgName are NULL, checks all asynchronous cache groups.

cgName TT_VARCHAR(30) Specifies the name of the cached Oracle database table.

If NULL, but the cgOwner is specified checks all asynchronous writethrough cache groups owned by cgOwner.

If both cgOwner and cgName are NULL, checks all asynchronous cache groups.


Result set

ttCacheCheck returns the result set:

Column Type Value
cgOwner TT_VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL The owner of the cache group.
cgName TT_VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL The name of the cache group.
tblOwner TT_VARCHAR(30) The owner of the table.
tblName TT_VARCHAR(30) The name of the table.
objectType TT_VARCHAR(15) The type of Oracle object: unique index, constraint or foreign key.
objectOwner TT_VARCHAR(30) The owner of the Oracle object.
objectName TT_VARCHAR(30) The object name.
msgType TT_SMALLINT NOT NULL The type of message:

0 = Informational

1 = Warning

-1 = Error

msg TT_VARCHAR(100000) NOT NULL Message describing the issue.
objectDesc VARCHAR2(200000) A description of the object. If the object is AWT checking, the description is the SQL statement that describes the object.

Examples

The following example determines if there are any missing constraints for the cache group update_orders that is owned by cacheuser. A result set is returned that includes the warning message. The ordertab table in the update_orders cache group is marked for serially propagated transactions.

Command> call ttCacheCheck( NULL, 'cacheuser', 'update_orders');

< CACHEUSER, UPDATE_ORDERS, CACHEUSER, ORDERTAB, Foreign Key, CACHEUSER, 
CUST_FK, 1, Transactions updating this table will be serialized to Oracle
because: The missing foreign key connects two AWT cache groups., 
table CACHEUSER.ORDERTAB constraint CACHEUSER.CUST_FK foreign key(CUSTID) 
references CACHEUSER.ACTIVE_CUSTOMER(CUSTID) >
1 row found.

Notes

This procedure is available only for TimesTen Cache.

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 database 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:
  • AgentFailoverTimeout - When working in an Oracle RAC environment, sets the TAF timeout, in minutes. Configures how long TAF retries when establishing a connection. The default is four minutes.

  • AgentTimeout - Number of seconds before a database is declared terminated if the cache agent cannot connect to the Oracle database server.

  • AutoRefreshLogFragmentationWarningPCT - The percent of table usage that must occur before warning the user to compact the table.

  • AutoRefreshLogDeFragmentAction - Compaction mode for the specified tables.

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

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

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

tblOwner VARCHAR2(30) Specifies the owner of the cached Oracle database 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 database 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 AgentFailoverTimeout, it specifies the number of minutes before TAF retries when establishing a connection, when working in an Oracle RAC environment. The default is four minutes.

  • 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 database server. The default is 0, which means that the database is never declared terminated.

  • When Param is AutoRefreshLogFragmentationWarningPCT, the value of the fourth parameter must be an integer between 1 and 100, representing a percentage of the table.

  • When Param is AutoRefreshLogDeFragmentAction, the value can be Manual, CompactOnly or CompactandReclaim If Manual is specified no action is taken. The user can run ttCacheAutorefreshLogDefrag built-in procedure to defragment the logs. If CompactOnly is specified trigger log space is compacted. If CompactandReclaim is specified both the trigger log space and the transaction log buffer (reclaim space) are compacted. The default is Manual.

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

  • 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 database error is returned when the cached Oracle database table is updated. The default is None.

Or Specifies the value to be set by AwtErrorXmlOutput:

  • ASCII - A text file that contains the AWT error report. (Default)

  • XML - An XML file that contains the AWT error report and the associated DTD file.

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 TimesTen 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 enables you to disable propagation of committed updates (the result of executing DML statements) within the current transaction to the Oracle database. Any updates from executing DML statements after the flag is set to zero are never propagated to the back-end Oracle database. Thus, these updates exist only on the TimesTen database. You can then re-enable propagation for DML statements by resetting the flag.

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 the Oracle database. The flag remains set until the end of the transaction or until the procedure is set to 1.

If 1, updates are sent to the Oracle database.


Result set

ttCachePropagateFlagSet returns no results.

Notes

This procedure is available only for TimesTen Cache.

If the value of ttCachePropagateFlagSet is reenabled several times during a single transaction, the transaction is only partially propagated to the Oracle database.

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

The propagate flag is reset after a commit or rollback.

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

Examples

This example sets autocommit off to prevent the propagation flag from toggling from off to on after a commit. Calls the ttCachePropagateFlagSet to turn off propagation. A row is inserted into the TimesTen Cache detail table for oratt.writetab. Then, propagation is reenabled by calling the ttCachePropagateFlagSet built-in procedure and setting the flag to one.

Command> set autocommit off;
Command> call ttCachePropagateFlagSet(0);
Command> INSERT INTO oratt.writetab VALUES (103, 'Agent');
1 row inserted.
Command> COMMIT;
Command> SELECT * FROM oratt.writetab;
< 100, Oracle >
< 101, TimesTen >
< 102, Cache >
< 103, Agent >
4 rows found.
Command> call ttCachePropagateFlagSet(1);

When you select all rows on the Oracle database, the row inserted when propagation was turned off is not present in the oratt.writetab table on Oracle.

Command> set passthrough 3;
Command> SELECT * FROM oratt.writetab;
< 100, Oracle >
< 101, TimesTen >
< 102, Cache >
3 rows found.

ttCacheSqlGet

Description

This procedure generates the Oracle SQL statements to install or uninstall Oracle database 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 database 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 database 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 database 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 database objects.
continueFlag TT_SMALLINT NOT NULL nonzero only if the Oracle SQL statement in the retval result column exceeds 4096 bytes and must be continued into the next result row.

Examples

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

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

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

Notes

This procedure is available only for TimesTen Cache.

Each returned retval field contains a separate Oracle SQL statement that may be directly executed on the Oracle database. 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 database 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 TimesTen Cache.

The cache administration user ID and password must be set with the ttCacheUidPwdSet built-in procedure 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 stop the cache agent if it does not stop within timeout seconds. If set to 0, the daemon waits forever for the cache agent. The default value is 100.

Result set

ttCacheStop returns no results.

Examples

To stop the TimesTen cache agent, use:

CALL ttCacheStop();

Notes

This procedure is available only for TimesTen 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 database 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).

ttCacheUidGet

Description

This procedure returns the cache administration user ID for the database. If the cache administration user ID and password have not been set for the database with the ttCacheUidPwdSet built-in procedure, ttCacheUidGet returns NULL.

Required privilege

This procedure requires CACHE_MANAGER privilege.

Syntax

ttCacheUidGet()

Parameters

ttCacheUidGet has no parameters.

Result set

ttCacheUidGet returns the results:

Column Type Description
UID TT_VARCHAR (30) The current cache administration user ID, used for autorefresh and asynchronous writethrough cache groups.

Examples

CALL ttCacheUidGet();

Notes

This procedure is available only for TimesTen Cache.

ttCacheUidPwdSet

Description

This procedure sets the cache administration user ID and password. You only need to specify the cache administration user ID and password once for each new database. The cache administration password can be changed at any time.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the CACHE_MANAGER privilege.

Syntax

ttCacheUidPwdSet('UID', 'PWD')

Parameters

ttCacheUidPwdSet has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
UID TT_VARCHAR (30) The cache administration user ID, used for autorefresh and asynchronous writethrough cache groups.
PWD TT_VARCHAR (30) The password for the cache administration user.

Result set

ttCacheUidPwdSet returns no results.

Examples

CALL ttCacheUidPwdSet('myid', 'mypwd');

Notes

This procedure cannot be called from a Client/Server connection.

This procedure is available only for TimesTen Cache.

For all levels of DDLReplicationLevel, you can set the cache administration user ID and password while the cache or replication agents are running. For more details on changing the cache administration user ID or password, see "Changing cache user names and passwords" in the Oracle TimesTen Application-Tier Database Cache User's Guide.

The cache administration user ID cannot be reset while there are cache groups on the database. The cache administration password can be changed at any time.

ttCkpt

Description

This procedure performs a nonblocking checkpoint operation. For information on blocking checkpoints, see "ttCkptBlocking". A checkpoint operation makes a record of the current state of the database on disk and to purge transaction log files. A nonblocking 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 nonblocking checkpoints, TimesTen uses the log to recover.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the ADMIN privilege.

Syntax

ttCkpt([timeout], [retries])

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, 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.

Examples

CALL ttCkpt();

Notes

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

ttCkptBlocking

Description

This procedure performs a blocking checkpoint operation. A checkpoint operation makes 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 should 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, use this blocking checkpoint with caution. To perform a nonblocking 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, 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.

Examples

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" 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 MB.
ckptRate TT_INTEGER NOT NULL Current rate at which TimesTen writes checkpoints 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(0, 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 MB (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.

ttCkptHistory

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 - nonblocking checkpoint. The background checkpointer performs this type if possible.

None - For temporary 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 one of the TimesTen error numbers.
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_BIGINT 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.

Examples

This example shows a checkpoint in progress:

Notes

Results are ordered by start time, with the most recent first.

A failed row is overwritten by the next checkpoint attempt.

ttCommitBufferStats

Description

This built-in procedure returns the number of commit buffer overflows and the high watermark for memory used by transaction reclaim records during transaction commit process.

The information provided by the results of this procedure call is useful information when you want to explicitly set the maximum size of commit buffer, using the CommitBufferSizeMax connection attribute or the ALTER SESSION SQL statement, described in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database SQL Reference. This procedure helps you choose the right size for the reclaim buffer, based on the number of overflows and the maximum memory used by the reclaim records.

If there are buffer overflows, you may consider increasing the commit buffer maximum size. If there are no overflows and the highest amount of memory usage is well under the commit buffer maximum size, you may consider decreasing the maximum size.

For more information on reclaim operations, including details about setting the commit buffer size, see "Transaction reclaim operations" in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Operations Guide.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privileges.

Syntax

ttCommitBufferStats( )

Parameters

ttCommitBufferStats takes no parameters.

Result set

ttCommitBufferStats returns these results:

Column Type Description
overflows TT_BIGINT NOT NULL Total number of commit buffer overflows.
maxReached TT_BIGINT NOT NULL The currently used maximum for the transaction commit buffer in bytes.

Examples

This shows the result for a session where there have been no commit buffer overflows and the transaction commit buffer is set to 500 MB.

Command> ALTER SESSION SET COMMIT_BUFFER_SIZE_MAX = 500;
Session altered.
Command> CALL ttCommitBufferStats( );
< 0, 524288000 >
1 row found

For a session where there have been 10 commit buffer overflows and the transaction commit buffer is set to 2 MB, the output of this procedure is:

Command> ALTER SESSION SET COMMIT_BUFFER_SIZE_MAX = 2;
Session altered.
Command> CALL ttCommitBufferStats( );
< 0, 2097152 >

Notes

When you call the built-in procedure ttCommitBufferStatsReset, the commit buffer statistics are expressed in bytes. However, the ttConfiguration output and the value set by the connection attribute CommitBufferSizeMax are expressed in MB.

ttCommitBufferStatsReset

Description

The ttCommitBufferStatsReset procedure resets transaction commit buffer statistics to 0. This is useful, for example, if you have set a new value for the commit buffer maximum size and want to restart the statistics.

For more information on reclaim operations, including details about setting the commit buffer size, see "Transaction reclaim operations" in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Operations Guide.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privileges.

Syntax

ttCommitBufferStatsReset()

Parameters

ttCommitBufferStatsReset takes no parameters.

Result set

ttCommitBufferStatsReset returns no result set.

Examples

CALL ttCommitBufferStatsReset;

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.

Examples

CALL ttCompact;

Notes

Compacting data does not modify result addresses.

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.

Examples

CALL ttCompactTS (5);

Notes

Compacting data does not modify result addresses.

ttCompact

ttComputeTabSizes

Description

The ttComputeTabSizes built-in procedure refreshes table size statistics stored in TimesTen system tables. After calling this built-in procedure, you can review the statistics updates by querying the DBA_TAB_SIZES, USER_TAB_SIZES or ALL_TAB_SIZES view.

This procedure computes the different types of storage allocated for the specified table, such as the amount of storage allocated for inline row storage, out-of-line buffers and system usage. If no table is specified, the procedure computes the sizes for all tables on which the user has SELECT privileges.The execution of this built-in behaves like a DDL statement: the transaction commits just before the procedure begins and commits again upon its successful termination.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the SELECT privilege on the specified table.

Syntax

ttComputeTabSizes (['tblName'], [includeOutOfLine])

Parameters

ttComputeTabSizes has the parameters:

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

The type of tables that can be estimated are:

  • User tables, including cache group tables

  • Materialized views

  • System tables

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

If value is 0 (no), the procedure does not compute the size of out-of-line values for any table that has out-of-line columns. The out-of-line fields are displayed as NULL.

Avoiding the computation of out-of-line values significantly decreases the latency of this procedure.


Result set

ttComputeTabSizes returns no results.

Examples

To compute the size of my_table without including out-of-line columns, use:

CALL ttComputeTabSizes ('my_table', 0);

Notes

The built-in procedure enables concurrent insertions while ttComputeTabSizes is executing. For this reason, the size computed by ttComputeTabSizes for each table is any value between the minimum size of the table during the computation and the maximum size of the table during the computation. For example, if the size of a table is 250 MB when ttComputeTabSizes is executed, and a transaction running concurrently raises the size of the table to 300 MB, ttComputeTabSizes estimates a value between 250 and 300 MB.

ttDBConfig

Description

The ttDBConfig built-in enables users to set or view the value of a TimesTen database system parameter.

Required privilege

This procedure requires ADMIN privilege.

Syntax

ttDBConfig('param', 'value')

Parameters

ttDBConfig has the parameters:

Parameter Type Description
param VARCHAR2(30) NOT NULL .A system parameter for which you either want to set a value or to see the current value. Accepted values for this argument are:

CacheParAwtBatchSize

CacheAwtMethod

CacheAgentCommitBufSize

ParReplMaxDrift

RepAgentCommitBufSize

value VARCHAR2(200) The value for the system parameter.

If you do not specify a value, this procedure returns the current value of the specified parameter.


Parameter / Value Pairs

These name/value pairs can be returned in the result set:

Name Value Description
CacheParAwtBatchSize Number of rows in a batch Configures a threshold value for the number of rows included in a single batch. Once the maximum number of rows is reached, TimesTen includes the rest of the rows in the transaction (TimesTen does not break up any transactions), but does not add any more transactions to the batch.

NOTE: You should not change the value of this parameter unless advised by Oracle TimesTen technical support.

CacheAwtMethod 0 - SQL Array execution method

1 - PL/SQL Execution method

Determines whether PL/SQL execution method or SQL array execution method is used for AWT propagation to apply changes to the Oracle database server.

See the description of the CacheAWTMethod connection attribute for details.

If set with this built-in procedure, overrides the value of the value of the connection attribute value.

CacheAgentCommitBufSize Size in MB Specifies the reclaim buffer maximum size for the cache agent. The cache agent periodically checks to see if the value has changed. The size cannot be greater than the temporary partition size.

For more details, see "Improving performance when reclaiming memory during autorefresh operations" in the Oracle TimesTen Application-Tier Database Cache User's Guide.

ParReplMaxDrift Number of seconds Specifies the number of seconds of drift to allow between the parallel replication tracks. When you use automatic parallel replication and disable commit dependencies, some tracks may move ahead of the others. Once this threshold is passed, TimesTen synchronizes all replication tracks so that they catch up to each other. By default, this is set to zero, which means that checking for drift between tracks is disabled.

For more details, see "Configuring automatic parallel replication with disabled commit dependencies" in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Replication Guide

RepAgentCommitBufSize Size in MB Specifies the reclaim buffer maximum size for the replication agent. The replication agent periodically checks to see if the value has changed. The size cannot be greater than the temporary partition size.

For more details, see "Improving performance when reclaiming memory during autorefresh operations" in the Oracle TimesTen Application-Tier Database Cache User's Guide.


Result set

ttDBConfig returns the result set:

Column Type Description
param VARCHAR2(30) The name of the system parameter.
value VARCHAR2(200) Displays the current value of the specified parameter.

Examples

To retrieve the current value of the CacheParAwtBatchSize, use:

CALL ttDBConfig('CacheParAwtBatchSize');
<CACHEPARAWTBATCHSIZE, 125>
1 row found.

To set the value of the RepAgentCommitBufSize to 50 MB, use:

CALL ttDBConfig('RepAgentCommitBufSize', '50');
 <REPAGENTCOMMITBUFSIZE, 50>
 1 row found.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttDbWriteConcurrencyModeGet()

Parameters

ttDbWriteConcurrencyModeGet has no parameters:

Result set

ttDbWriteConcurrencyModeGet returns the result set:

Column Type Description
ts TIMESTAMP NOT NULL Time at which the status information was collected.
mode TT_INTEGER NOT NULL The write concurrency mode:

0 - Optimize according to hints and standard optimization techniques.

1- Optimize for concurrent write operations.

operation VARCHAR2 (50) The transition status of the write concurrency mode. Either:

NULL - Not in transition.

TRANSITIONING TO MODE=n where n= 0 or 1.

status VARCHAR2 (100) NOT NULL The status of the write concurrency mode transition. Either:

IN TRANSITION or COMPLETE.

msg VARCHAR2 (5000) NULL or a status explanation message.

Examples

The following example shows how to determine if your database is optimized for concurrent write operations:

Command> CALL ttDbWriteConcurrencyModeGet();

< 2013-09-23 13:48:21.207599, 1, <NULL>, COMPLETE, <NULL> >
1 row found.

The results indicate that at approximately 1:48 pm on September 23, 2013 the database was optimized for concurrent write operations. The mode was not in transition.

ttDbWriteConcurrencyModeSet

Description

The ttDbWriteConcurrencyModeSet built-in enables control over read optimization during periods of concurrent write operations.

Set the mode to one (1) to enable the enhanced write concurrency mode and disable read optimization. Set the mode to zero (0) to disable the enhanced write concurrency mode and re-enable read optimization.When the mode is set to one (1), all transaction and statement table lock hints are suppressed. This affects hint-triggered Sn table locks for SELECT statements and subqueries and also hint-triggered W table locks for DML statements. Suppression of the table lock hint also suppresses other table-lock hint driven execution plans such as star joins. Regardless of the mode setting, table locks that are not triggered by table-lock hints are not affected.

Required privilege

This procedure requires ADMIN privilege.

Syntax

ttDbWriteConcurrencyModeSet(mode, wait)

Parameters

ttDbWriteConcurrencyModeSet has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
mode TT_INTEGER NOT NULL The write concurrency mode:

0 - Optimize according to hints and standard optimization techniques.

1 - Optimize for concurrent write operations.

wait TT_INTEGER NOT NULL 0 - Return immediately after starting mode transition.

1 - Wait until mode transition is complete before returning. This can be useful when setting the mode to a nonzero value. When setting the mode to zero, it is typically not necessary to specify wait to 1.


Result set

ttDbWriteConcurrencyModeSet returns no result set:

Examples

The following example shows how to enable standard optimization techniques and return immediately after starting the operation:

Command> CALL ttDbWriteConcurrencyModeSet(0,0);

Notes

When the mode is set to one (1), all transaction and statement table lock hints are suppressed. This affects hint-triggered Sn table locks for SELECT statements and subqueries and also hint-triggered W table locks for DML statements. Suppression of the table lock hint also suppresses other table-lock hint driven execution plans such as star joins. Regardless of the mode setting, table locks that are not triggered by table-lock hints are not affected.

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.

Calling ttDurableCommit also makes durable the current transaction and any previously committed delayed durability transactions. There is no effect on other transactions that are committed after 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.

Examples

CALL ttDurableCommit;

Notes

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 (UPS).

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.

The ttGridAttach built-in procedure automatically starts the cache agent if it is not already running. In addition, the ttGridAttach built-in procedure sets the specified TCP/IP port for the cache agent to facilitate global cache groups.

To retrieve the information set by this procedure call the built-in procedure ttGridNodeStatus.

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:

This procedure returns the name of the current local host for the database. The value returned is only for the current session. It is not a systemwide setting and does not persist after the current session has been disconnected.

Use this procedure to check whether a particular store name in a scheme refers to the current host. This can be helpful when configuring replication schemes.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttHostnameGet()

Parameters

ttHostNameGet has no parameters.

Result set

ttHostNameGet returns the result:

Column Type Description
hostName TT_VARCHAR (200) The current default local host setting for the database. If a default has not been supplied then the current host name is returned.

Examples

CALL ttHostNameGet ();

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 enables an application to set a default host name for the current session that Replication DDL processing uses 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. To clear the default value, specify NULL.

Result set

ttHostNameSet returns no results.

Examples

CALL ttHostNameSet ('alias1');

Notes

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.

This procedure requires ADMIN privileges to get output on a database level capture.

Syntax

ttIndexAdviceCaptureOutput([captureLevel])

Parameters

ttIndexAdviceCaptureOutput has this optional parameter:

Parameter Type Description
captureLevel TT_INTEGER Legal values for the capture level are:

0 - Outputs index advice at the connection level for the current connection. This is the default value.

1 - Outputs index advice at the database level.


Result set

ttIndexAdviceCaptureOutput returns the result set:

Column Type Description
stmtCount TT_INTEGER The number of statements in the captured workload that would have benefited from this index if it were present.
createStmt TT_VARCHAR (8300) NOT NULL The executable statement that can create the recommended index.

Examples

CALL ttIndexAdviceCaptureOutput();
< 4, create index PURCHASE_i1 on HR.PURCHASE(AMOUNT); >
1 row found. 

Notes

All names returned are fully schema qualified.

ttIndexAdviceCaptureStart

Description

This procedure enables index advice capture. It is recommended that statistics be updated before you call this procedure, using ttOptEstimateStats and setting the 'invalidate' parameter set to 'yes'. Updating the statistics in this way ensures statistics are up to date and forces statements to be re-prepared during the capture. To set statistics to known values instead, call ttOptSetTblStats with the 'invalidate' parameter set to 'yes'.

This procedure and the procedures related to it are referred to as the Index Advisor. For details on using these procedures, see "Using the Index Advisor to recommend indexes" in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Operations Guide.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege to start a connection level capture.

This procedure requires ADMIN privileges to start a database level capture.

Syntax

ttIndexAdviceCaptureStart([captureLevel], [captureMode])

Parameters

ttIndexAdviceCaptureStart has these optional parameters:

Parameter Type Description
captureLevel TT_INTEGER Legal values for the capture level are:

0 - Outputs index advice at the connection level for the current connection. This is the default value.

1 - Outputs index advice at the database level.

captureMode TT_INTEGER Legal values for the capture mode are:

0 - Provides complete capture of index advice including execution of the SQL statements. This is the default.

31 - Capture is based only on the computed statistics and plan analysis. Queries (SELECT statements only) are prepared but not executed. This mode can only be used with connection level captures (captureLevel=0).


Result set

ttIndexAdviceCaptureStart returns no results

Examples

The following example starts a collection for the Index Advisor at the connection-level.

Call ttIndexAdviceCaptureStart(0,0);

Notes

It is an error to call this procedure if index advice is already being captured at the level specified by the captureLevel parameter or at the connection level if no level is specified. Connection level captures can be issued concurrently on independent connections without conflict. Outstanding connection level captures that are in progress when a database level capture begins complete as intended.

ttLoadFromOracle

Description

This procedure takes a TimesTen table name, an Oracle SELECT statement and the number of threads for parallel load. It executes the query on the Oracle database and loads the result set into the specified TimesTen table.

No character set conversion is performed when loading data from an Oracle database into a TimesTen table. The TimesTen database and the Oracle database must use the same character set.

The procedure requires the connection attribute UID, the connection attribute OraclePWD and the connection attribute OracleNetServiceName to be specified. You must commit after calling this procedure.

For more details and usage information, see "Loading data from an Oracle database into a TimesTen table" in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Operations Guide.

Required privilege

This procedure requires INSERT privileges to the table to be loaded.The session must have all the required privileges to execute the query on the Oracle database.

Syntax

ttLoadFromOracle(['tblOwner'], 'tblName', 'Query' [,numThreads])

Parameters

ttLoadFromOracle has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
tblOwner TT_CHAR (30) TimesTen table owner (optional). If not provided, the connection ID is used.
tblName TT_CHAR (30) NOT NULL Name of the table to be loaded with data from the Oracle database. You can use the built-in procedure ttTableSchemaFromOraQueryGet to get a schema with which to build the table, if one does not already exist.

The specified TimesTen table cannot be a system table, a synonym, a view, a materialized view or a detail table of a materialized view, a global temporary table or a cache group table.

Query TT_VARCHAR (409600) NOT NULL A SELECT query on an Oracle database to derive the table column definition.

The query on an Oracle database cannot have any parameter bindings. Provide any expressions in the SELECT list with a column alias. Otherwise, an implementation dependent column name is assumed and the expression is not evaluated.

numThreads TT_INTEGER Number of threads for parallel load (optional). If NULL, defaults to four.

Provides parallel loading for tables. Specifies the number of loading threads to run concurrently. One thread performs the bulk fetch from Oracle and the other threads perform the inserts into TimesTen. Each thread uses its own connection or transaction.

The minimum value for NumThreads is 2. The maximum value is 10. If you specify a value greater than 10, TimesTen assigns the value 10.


Result set

ttLoadFromOracle returns the result set:

Column Type Description
numRows TT_BIGINT NOT NULL A single number indicating the number of rows loaded.

Examples

The following example selects information about employees from the Oracle database HR.EMPLOYEES table and loads it into the TimesTen HR.EMPLOYEES table. In this example information was found for 107 employees.

Command> CALL ttLoadFromOracle ('HR','EMPLOYEES',
'SELECT * FROM HR.EMPLOYEES');
< 107 >
1 row found.

Notes

TimesTen does not empty the table before the load. The target table does not require a primary key.TimesTen returns an error if the query output cannot be converted to rows in the target table due to a mismatch of column types or number of columns.Loading data into TimesTen LOB columns is not supported. If the query on the Oracle database has LOB output, it is mapped to a VAR type.

The load process does not check that the column data types and sizes in the TimesTen table match the data types and sizes of the result set. Instead, the insert is attempted and if the column data types cannot be mapped or the Oracle Database data from the SQL query exceeds the TimesTen column size, TimesTen returns an error. LOB columns are truncated to 4 MB.

When a table is altered to add columns, secondary partitions are added. Loading a table with multiple partitions is not supported by ttLoadFromOracle.

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 connection 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.

Examples

CALL ttLockLevel ('Row');

Notes

This procedure does not affect the current transaction.

Row-level locking is required when caching tables from an Oracle database.

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 enables 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. Valid values are 0.0 to 1000000.0 inclusive.

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 error TT6003 to the application. By default, TimesTen uses a value of 10 seconds for lock timeouts. If a value of 0 is specified, transactions do not wait for any unavailable locks.

ttLogHolds

Description

This procedure returns information about transaction log holds, including those created on behalf of incremental backups, replication peers, active standby pairs (and any subscribers), AWT cache groups, persistent XLA subscribers, XA, long-running transactions and checkpoints. This procedure can help diagnose situations where it appears that checkpoint operations are not purging all unneeded transaction log files.

Applications should monitor log holds and the accumulation of log files. For more information, see "Show replicated log holds" in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Replication Guide and "Monitoring accumulation of transaction log files" in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Operations Guide.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttLogHolds()

Parameters

ttLogHolds has no parameters.

Result set

ttLogHolds returns the result set:

Column Type Description

  • The name of the checkpoint file

  • The name of the standby master

  • The name of the replication subscriber

  • _ORACLE when tracking AWT cache group propagation

  • The parallel replication track ID used by the subscriber

  • The backup path

  • The name of the persistent XLA subscription and the process ID of the last process to open it, if it is open

  • The XID (transaction ID) of the XA transaction

  • The TimesTen transaction ID of the long-running transaction


Examples

CALL ttLogHolds();
< 0, 1148544, Long-Running XA Transaction , 
0x1-476c6f62616c-5861637431 >
< 0, 1149752, Long-Running Transaction, 4.2 >
< 0, 1149992, Checkpoint , sample.ds1 >
< 0, 1150168, Checkpoint , sample.ds0 >

The following example shows the output of ttLogHolds built-in procedure for an active standby pair replication scheme, where the active master is master1 and the standby master is master2 with a single subscriber, subscriber1.

Command> call ttLogHolds;
< 0, 3569664, Checkpoint                    , master1.ds0 >

3 rows found.

ttMonitorHighWaterReset

Description

This procedures sets the value of PERM_IN_USE_HIGH_WATER column in the MONITOR table to the current value of the PERM_IN_USE_SIZE column and sets the value of the TEMP_IN_USE_HIGH_WATER column in the MONITOR table to the current value of TEMP_IN_USE_SIZE column. These columns are useful for sizing databases during application development and deployment.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the ADMIN privilege.

Syntax

ttMonitorHighWaterReset()

Parameters

ttMonitorHighWaterReset has no parameters.

Result set

ttMonitorHighWaterReset returns no results.

Examples

CALL ttMonitorHighWaterReset();

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 Views 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.

Examples

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

This built-in procedure either forces a recompilation should a dependent command be invoked again, or removes such command from the cache and it must be re-prepared by the user.

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 a command as needing recompilation or as invalidated.

Neither option stops execution of a 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.
invalidate TT_INTEGER Forces recompilation or invalidates the dependent commands.

1 - Indicates that the commands should be recompiled. The command is recompiled during its first use after calling this built-in procedure. (default)

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.

Examples

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

The ttOptEstimateStats 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').

The procedure operates on all tables of the current user if tblName is not specified.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege if the user is the table owner, or if tblName is not specified.This procedure requires the ALTER ANY TABLE privilege if the 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 an 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 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, ttOptEstimateStats does not hold a lock on tables or rows when computing statistics. Computing statistics can still slow performance. Estimating statistics generally provides better performance than computing exact statistics.

If you estimate or update statistics with an empty table list, statistics on system tables are updated also, if you have privileges to update the system tables.

ttOptGetColStats

Description

This procedure returns statistics information in text format.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the SELECT privilege on the specified tables.

Syntax

ttOptGetColStats('tblName', 'colName')

Parameters

ttOptGetColStats has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description

ttOptGetFlag

Description

This procedure returns the optimizer flag settings for the current transaction. The results are returned as a result set that can be retrieved using the ODBC SQLFetch function or the JDBC ResultSet.getXXX() method, just like the result of a SQL SELECT statement. Applications can request the value of a specific optimizer flag by passing the flag name to ttOptGetFlag. Alternatively, applications can request the values of all the optimizer flags by passing NULL. The optimizer flags and their meanings are described under the ttOptSetFlag built-in procedure.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttOptGetFlag('flagName')

Parameters

ttOptGetFlag has the parameter:

Parameter Type Description
flagName TT_CHAR (32) Name of the flag whose value is to be returned. If NULL is passed, the values of all flags are returned.

Result set

ttOptGetFlag returns the result set:

Column Type Description
flagName TT_VARCHAR (32) NOT NULL Name of the flag. See "ttOptSetFlag" for a description of possible flag values.
value TT_INTEGER NOT NULL Current flag value, either 0 or 1.

Examples

CALL ttOptGetFlag('TmpHash');

ttOptSetColIntvlStats

Description

This procedure modifies the statistics for the specified columns with interval information. This procedure enables 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 is 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.

Because this parameter is a compound structure it cannot be parameterized using ODBC functions or described using the ttIsql describe command. For example, a statement like the following fails: SQLPrepare(hstmt, "call ttOptSetColIntvlStats('t1', 'c1', 1, ?)", SQL_NTS)).


Result set

ttOptSetColIntvlStats returns no results.

Examples

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.

ttOptSetColStats

Description

This procedure modifies the statistics for the specified columns. This procedure enables 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.

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.
num_Uniq TT_INTEGER NOT NULL Number of unique values in the column.
minVal VARBINARY(1024) NOT NULL Minimum value in the column (possibly truncated).
maxVal VARBINARY(1024) NOT NULL Maximum value in the column (possibly truncated).
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.
num_Null TT_INTEGER Indicates the total number of NULLs in the column.

Result set

ttOptSetColStats returns no results.

Examples

CALL ttOptSetColStats ('SALLY.ACCTS, 'BALANCE, 400, 
0x00001388, 0x000186A0, 1, 0);

Notes

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

The statistics are treated as a single interval of column values that are uniformly distributed between the minimum value and the maximum value.

ttOptSetFlag

Description

This procedure enables 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.

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 data from an Oracle database to a TimesTen dynamic cache group. By default, dynamic load of data from an Oracle database is enabled.
DynamicLoadErrorMode Enables or disables dynamic load error mode. It controls output of error messages upon failure of a transparent load operation on a TimesTen dynamic 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 "Instruct TimesTen to store the plan in the system PLAN table" in Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Operations Guide.

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

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

1 - SELECT and UNLOAD CACHE GROUP statements are executed globally, the join is executed locally.

See Oracle TimesTen Application-Tier Database Cache User's Guide for more details.

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 TimesTen Application-Tier 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 TimesTen 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.

Range Enables or disables the use of existing range indexes in indexed table scans.
Rowid Enables or disables the use of Row IDs.
RowLock Allows or disallows the optimizer to consider using row locks.
Scan Refers to full table scans.
ShowJoinOrder Shows the join order of the tables in an optimizer scan.
TblLock Enables or disables the optimizer to consider using table locks.
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.
TmpRange 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.
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.
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, you can use the string AllFlags to refer to all optimizer flags, and the string Default 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 ( 'MergeJoin', 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 or when there are very few concurrent transactions accessing the table.

Result set

ttOptSetFlag returns no results.

Examples

CALL ttOptSetFlag ('TmpHash', 1);

Notes

You can also set the join order using statement level optimizer hints in certain SQL statements. For details, see "Statement level optimizer hints" in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database SQL Reference. Specifically, see the table, "Differences between statement level and transaction level optimizer hints" to understand the behavior of each style of hint.

ttOptSetMaxCmdFreeListCnt

Description

This procedure sets the maximum count of the free list of SQL compiled commands for regular tables. To get the current setting use the ttOptGetMaxCmdFreeListCnt procedure.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the ADMIN privilege.

Syntax

ttOptSetMaxCmdFreeListCnt(maxCnt)

Parameters

ttOptSetMaxCmdFreeListCnt has the required parameter:

Parameter Type Description
maxCnt TT_INTEGER NOT NULL The max number of free SQL compiled commands for regular tables.

Result set

ttOptSetMaxCmdFreeListCnt returns no results.

Examples

CALL ttOptSetMaxCmdFreeListCnt(40);

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.

Result set

ttOptSetMaxPriCmdFreeListCnt returns no results.

Examples

CALL ttOptSetMaxPriCmdFreeListCnt(40);

ttOptSetOrder

Description

This procedure specifies the order in which tables should be joined by the optimizer. The character string is a list of table names or table 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. AutoCommit must be set to OFF when running this built-in procedure.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttOptSetOrder('joinOrder')

Parameters

ttOptSetOrder has the required parameter:

Parameter Type Description
join_Order TT_VARCHAR(1024) List of space-separated table or 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');

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

A table alias name for a derived table is not supported in the join order. If you specify a table alias name, TimesTen returns the warning message 965 that indicates the order cannot be honored.

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, Times issues a warning and ignores the specified join order completely.

You can also set the join order using statement level optimizer hints in certain SQL statements. For details, see "Statement level optimizer hints" in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database SQL Reference. Specifically, see the section, "Differences between statement level and transaction level optimizer hints" to understand the behavior of each style of hint.

ttOptSetTblStats

Description

This procedure modifies the statistics for the specified table. This procedure enables 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.

num_Rows 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.

Examples

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

Notes

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 is 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 Views 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 the order of the 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
joinOrder 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.


Examples

>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.

ttOptStatsExport

Description

This procedure returns the set of statements required to restore the table statistics to the current state. If no table is specified, it returns the set of statements required to restore the table statistics for all user tables that the calling user has permission to access.

Required privilege

This procedure requires ADMIN privilege.

Syntax

ttOptStatsExport('tblName')

Parameters

ttOptStatsExport has the parameter:

Parameter Type Description
tblName TT_CHAR (61) NOT NULL Name of the table whose statistics are to be returned. If NULL is passed, then values for all tables are returned.

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


Result set

ttOptStatsExport returns the result set:

Column Type Description
stmt TT_VARCHAR (8300) NOT NULL The set of statements required to restore the table(s) statistics to the current state.

Examples

CALL ttOptStatsExport('MyTable');

See also


"Create script to regenerate current table statistics" in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Operations Guide.

ttOptUpdateStats

Description

This procedure updates the statistics for the specified table. TimesTen looks at the data 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.

The procedure operates on all tables of the current user if tblName is not specified.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege if the user is the table owner, or if tblName is not specified.This procedure requires the ALTER ANY TABLE privilege if the 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, marks all commands for reprepare on next execution except ALTER TABLE DROP TABLE, and the ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN FOR SELECT * FROM TABLE statements. These exceptions require manual reprepare. 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.

The option parameter is optional and defaults to 0.

See the notes below for more information.


Result set

ttOptUpdateStats returns no results.

Examples

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 NULL values in the column

  • Total number of NON NULL UNIQUE values in the column

  • Total number of rows in the table

  • Interval information, where 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.

If you estimate or update statistics with an empty table list, statistics on system tables are updated also, if you have privileges to update the system tables.

ttOptUseIndex

Description

This procedure enables applications to alter the generation of execution plans by the TimesTen query optimizer. Applications can call this procedure 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.

AutoCommit must be set to OFF when running this built-in procedure.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

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

Parameters

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

Component Description
IndexName The name of the user-defined index or '_TMPRANGE' 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');

Notes

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

ttPLSQLMemoryStats

Description

This procedure returns result statistics about PL/SQL library cache performance and activity.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttPLSQLMemoryStats( )

Parameters

ttPLSQLMemoryStats takes no parameters.

Result Set

ttPLSQLMemoryStats returns the results in the following columns:

Columns Type Description
paramName TT_VARCHAR(30) NOT NULL The name of the result statistic returned in this row.
paramValue BINARY_FLOAT NOT NULL The value of the result statistic returned in this row.

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.

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.

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.
newStateCode TT_INTEGER An integer code representing the specified subscriber's new state:

0/NULL - Start (default). Starts replication to the subscriber.

1 - Pause. Pauses the replication agent, preserving updates.

2 - Stop. Stops replication to the subscriber, discarding updates.

All other state codes are disallowed. (This procedure cannot set a subscriber state to "failed.") "Setting the replication state of subscribers" in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Replication Guide for more information.


Result set

ttRepSubscriberStateSet returns no results.

Examples

For the replication scheme named REPL.REPSCHEME, the following directs the master database to set the state of the subscriber database (SUBSCRIBERDS ON SYSTEM1) to Stop (2):

CALL ttRepSubscriberStateSet('REPSCHEME', 'REPL', 
'SUBSCRIBERDS','SYSTEM1', 2);

To direct the master database to set the state of all its subscribers to Pause (1), use:

CALL ttRepSubscriberStateSet( , , , , 1 );

Leaving a parameter empty is equivalent to using NULL.

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 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.

Examples

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)descr 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.


Examples

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.

Applications can call ttRepSyncGet 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 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. 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 cannot 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 )

Notes

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.

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.


Examples

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. Use this procedure 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. (This is the default.)

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


Result set

ttRepTransmitSet returns no results.

Examples

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(xactID)

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.

ttRepXactTokenGet

Description

This procedure returns a token for RETURN RECEIPT or RETURN TWOSAFE replication transactions. Depending on the input parameter, type, it returns either:

  • A token to the most recently committed RETURN RECEIPT transaction on the connection handle in which it is invoked.

  • A token to the most recent transaction on the connection handle in which it is invoked that has begun commit processing on a transaction in RETURN TWOSAFE mode.

This procedure can be executed in any subsequent transaction or in the same transaction after commit processing has begun for a transaction in RETURN TWOSAFE replication.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttRepXactTokenGet('type')

Parameters

ttRepXactTokenGet has these parameters:

Parameter Type Description
type TT_CHAR (2) NOT NULL The type of transaction desired:

'RR' - Return receipt.

'R2' - Return twosafe.


Result set

ttRepXactTokenGet returns the result set:

Column Type Description
token VARBINARY (10000) A VARBINARY token used to represent the transaction desired.

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 TABLE or ALTER TABLE operation. Setting a user-assigned value for the column ID enables 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.

Examples

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

ttSetUserTableID

Description

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.

Examples

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

ttSize

Description

This procedure estimates the size of a table or view and the size of indexes. 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 estimates 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, 
&len);
rc = SQLFetch(hstmt);
rc = SQLFreeStmt(hstmt, SQL_CLOSE);

JDBC

. . . . . .
String URL="jdbc:timesten:MyDataStore";
Connection con;
double tblSize=0;
. . . . . .
con = DriverManager.getConnection(URL);
CallableStatement cStmt = con.prepareCall("
{CALL ttSize('SalesData', 250000, 0.75) }");
if( cStmt.execute() ) 
  {
   rs=cStmt.getResultSet();
   if (rs.next()) {
    tblSize=rs.getDouble(1);
   }
   rs.close();
  }
cStmt.close();
con.close();

. . . . . .

Notes

The ttSize procedure enables you to estimate how large a table will be with its full population of rows based on a small sample. For the best results, populate the table with at least 1,000 typical rows.

ttSQLExecutionTimeHistogram

Description

The ttSQLExecutionTimeHistogram built-in procedure returns a histogram of SQL execution times for either a single SQL command or all SQL commands if command cache sampling is enabled.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the ADMIN privilege.

Syntax

ttSQLExecutionTimeHistogram(sqlCommandID)

Parameters

ttSQLExecutionTimeHistogram has the optional parameter:

Parameter Type Description
sqlCommandID TT_INTEGER for 32-bit systems

TT_BIGINT for 64-bit systems

The unique identifier of a SQL command in the TimesTen command cache. If no value is supplied displays information about all current commands in the TimesTen command cache.

Result set

ttSQLExecutionTimeHistogram returns the result set:

Column Type Description
histogramSamples TT_BIGINT The number of SQL command execution time operations have been measured since either the database was started or the ttStatsConfig built-in procedure was used to reset the statistics.
totalExecuteTime NUMBER The accumulated wall clock execution time when sampling in seconds.
bucketUpperBound NUMBER The upper limit in seconds of execution time.
count TT_BIGINT The number of SQL commands with time less than or equal to ExecutionTimeLimit and greater than ExecutionTimeLimit from the previous row or 0.

Examples

The following example shows the output for the ttSQLExecutionTimeHistogram built-in procedure:

The following example of the ttSQLExecutionTimeHistogram built-in procedure shows that a total of 1919 statements executed. The total time for all 1919 statements to execute was 1.090751 seconds. This example shows that SQL statements ran in the following time frames:

  • 278 statements executed in a time frame that was less than or equal to .00001562 seconds.

  • 1484 statements executed in a time frame that was greater than .00001562 seconds and less than or equal to .000125 seconds.

10 rows found.

ttStatsConfig

Description

The ttStatsConfig built-in procedure controls statistics collection and parameters. This procedure takes a name/value pair as in put and outputs a single row result set corresponding to the name/value pair parameters.

Required privilege

This procedure requires the ADMIN privilege.

Syntax

ttStatsConfig("param", [value])

Parameters

ttStatsConfig has the parameters:

Parameter Type Description
param VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL The unique identifier of a SQL command in the TimesTen command cache.
value VARCHAR2(200) The value of the specified command. If no value is supplied displays the query plan for all valid commands in the TimesTen cache.

Result set

ttStatsConfig returns the result set:

Column Type Description
param VARCHAR2(50) NOT NULL The unique identifier of a SQL command in the TimesTen command cache.
value VARCHAR2(200) The value of the specified command. If no value was supplied, this is the current value of the command.

Parameter / Value Pairs

These name/value pairs can be returned in the result set:

Name Value Description
SQLCmdSampleFactor 0 <= value <= 60000 The frequency at which a SQL command sample is taken. The default is 0. A value of 0 indicates that sampling is turned off. A value greater than 0 indicates that a sample is taken at that interval of SQL statements. For example, a value of 10 indicates that for every 10th SQL statement executed, the wall clock time of that execution is captured.
ConnSampleFactor C,S

0<=C<=Connections

0<=S<=60000

The unique identifier of a SQL command in the TimesTen command cache. If you do not supply a value, TimesTen displays the current value of the command.
SQLCmdHistogramReset 0 or not The existing SQL execution time statistics are reset if the specified value is nonzero.
StatsLevel NONE

TYPICAL

ALL

BASIC

Specifies the level of collection for database and operating system statistics. TimesTen collects these statistics for a variety of purposes, including making self-management decisions.

Setting the StatsLevel parameter to NONE disables the collection of system statistics.

The default setting of TYPICAL ensures collection of all major statistics required for database self-management functionality and provides best overall performance. The default value should be adequate for most environments.

When the StatsLevel parameter is set to ALL, additional statistics are added to the set of statistics collected with the TYPICAL setting. The additional statistics are timed operating system statistics and plan execution statistics.

Setting the StatsLevel parameter to BASIC disables the collection of many of the important statistics required by many TimesTen features.


Examples

Sample every command:

Command> call ttStatsConfig('SqlCmdSampleFactor',1);
< SQLCMDSAMPLEFACTOR, 1 >
1 row found.

Check whether sampling:

Command> call ttStatsConfig('SqlCmdSampleFactor');
< SQLCMDSAMPLEFACTOR, 1 >
1 row found.
 

Sample every fifth statement on connection 1.

Command> call ttStatsConfig('ConnSampleFactor', '1,5');
< CONNSAMPLEFACTOR, 1,5 >
1 row found.
 

Turn off sampling on connection 1.

Command> call ttStatsConfig('ConnSampleFactor', '1,0');
< CONNSAMPLEFACTOR, 1,0 >
1 row found.
 

Check data store statistics collection level.

Command> call ttstatsconfig('StatsLevel');
< STATSLEVEL, TYPICAL >
1 row found.
 

Turn off data store statistics collection.

Command> call ttstatsconfig('StatsLevel','None');
< STATSLEVEL, NONE >
1 row found.

ttTableSchemaFromOraQueryGet

Description

This built-in procedure evaluates a SELECT query on a table in an Oracle database and generates a CREATE TABLE SQL statement that you can choose to execute. The TimesTen CREATE TABLE statement matches the result set column names and types.

This procedure does not create the TimesTen table, it only returns a statement that identifies the table schema.

For more details and usage information, see "Loading data from an Oracle database into a TimesTen table" in the Oracle TimesTen In-Memory Database Operations Guide.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privileges. The session user must have all required privileges to execute the query on the Oracle database.

Syntax

ttTableSchemaFromOraQueryGet(['tblOwner'], 'tblName', 'Query')

Parameters

ttTableSchemaFromOraQueryGet has the parameters:

Parameter Type Description
tblOwner TT_CHAR (30) TimesTen table owner (optional). If not provided, the connection ID is used.
tblName TT_CHAR (30) NOT NULL Table name for the CREATE TABLE statement.

The specified TimesTen table cannot be a system table, a synonym, a view, a materialized view or a detail table of a materialized view, a global temporary table or a cache group table.

Query TT_VARCHAR (409600) NOT NULL A SELECT query on an Oracle database to derive the table column definition.

Any expressions in the SELECT list should be provided with a column alias; otherwise, an implementation dependent column name is assumed and the expression is not evaluated.


Result set

ttTableSchemaFromOraQueryGet returns the result set:

Column Type Description
createSQL TT_VARCHAR (409600) NOT NULL A CREATE TABLE statement that matches the result set of the SELECT query on an Oracle database.

Examples

This example, returns the CREATE TABLE statement to create the TimesTen HR.EMPLOYEES table with all columns found in the Oracle database HR.EMPLOYEES table.

Command> call ttTableSchemaFromOraQueryGet('hr','employees',
 'SELECT * FROM hr.employees');
< CREATE TABLE "HR"."EMPLOYEES" (
"EMPLOYEE_ID" number(6,0) NOT NULL,
"FIRST_NAME" varchar2(20 byte),
"LAST_NAME" varchar2(25 byte) NOT NULL,
"EMAIL" varchar2(25 byte) NOT NULL,
"PHONE_NUMBER" varchar2(20 byte),
"HIRE_DATE" date NOT NULL,
"JOB_ID" varchar2(10 byte) NOT NULL,
"SALARY" number(8,2),
"COMMISSION_PCT" number(2,2),
"MANAGER_ID" number(6,0),
"DEPARTMENT_ID" number(4,0)
 ) >
1 row found.

Notes

The query on the Oracle database cannot have any parameter bindings.

TimesTen returns an error if the query cannot be described on the Oracle database, for example, if there is a syntax error.

If an output column type does not have a matching type in TimesTen, TimesTen outputs a warning and the following line for the column definition: >>>>column_name column_type /* reason */

If the query on the Oracle database outputs types not supported by TimesTen, you can add a CAST clause in the SELECT list to explicitly change the output to a TimesTen supported type. Column aliases can be specified for expressions in the SELECT list.

If the query on the Oracle database has LOB output, it is mapped to a VAR type.

ttVersion

Description

The ttVersion utility lists the TimesTen release information, including: number, platform, instance name, instance administrator, instance home directory, daemon home directory, port number and build timestamp. You can specify various levels of output:

  • You can specify ttVersion with no options to list abbreviated output.

  • You can specify the -m option to list enhanced output.

  • You can specify an attribute to list output only for a specific attribute.

Required privilege

This procedure requires no privilege.

Syntax

ttVersion()

Parameters

ttVersion has no parameters.

Result set

ttVersion returns the result set:

Column Type Description
major1 TT_INTEGER NOT NULL The major release number. Indicates releases with major infrastructure and functionality changes.
major2 TT_INTEGER NOT NULL The second major release number. Indicates a version with new functionality changes, but no infrastructure changes.
minor TT_INTEGER NOT NULL The minor release number. Indicates a release that contains all bug fixes since the previous maintenance release.
patch TT_INTEGER NOT NULL Indicates a release with minor bug fixes.
portpatch TT_INTEGER NOT NULL Indicates a release with patch fixes for particular platforms.

Examples

CALL ttVersion( );
<11, 2, 2 , 5, 0>
1 row found.

In this case, the TimesTen release number is: 11.2.2.5.0.

ttWarnOnLowMemory

Description

This procedure enables 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 connection attributes.

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 warnings for the permanent data partition

0 - Disable warnings for the permanent data partition

temporary TT_INTEGER NOT NULL 1- Enable warnings for the permanent data partition

0 - Disable warnings for the permanent data partition


Result set

ttWarnOnLowMemory returns no results.

Examples

CALL ttWarnOnLowMemory(1, 0);

Enables low memory warnings for the permanent data partition only.

Notes

By default, TimesTen does not issue low memory warnings 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 distinguish successive transactions of the same transaction ID.

Examples

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

Notes

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