CONVERT Procedure

The CONVERT procedure converts an analytic workspace to the most recent release format that is supported by the compatibility mode.

Note:

You cannot execute this procedure from within the OLAP Worksheet. You must execute if in a SQL tool such as SQL*Plus.

Syntax

CONVERT (
          original_aw      IN VARCHAR2);

CONVERT ( 
          original_aw      IN VARCHAR2,
          converted_aw     IN VARCHAR2,
          tablespace       IN NUMBER DEFAULT);

Parameters

Table B-19 CONVERT Procedure Parameters

Parameter	Description
`original_aw`	The analytic workspace you wish to convert.
`converted_aw`	The converted analytic workspace.
`tablespace`	The name of a tablespace in which the converted workspace will be stored. If this parameter is omitted, then the analytic workspace is created in the user's default tablespace.

Example

This example performs the conversion in a single step, using the analytic workspace as both the source and the target of the conversion.

EXECUTE dbms_aw.convert('global');

The next example performs the conversion in several steps. The converted workspace must have the same name as the original workspace, because the fully-qualified names of objects in the workspace include the workspace name.

EXECUTE dbms_aw.rename('global', 'global_temp');
EXECUTE dbms_aw.convert('global_temp', 'global');
EXECUTE dbms_aw.delete('global_temp');
