Weekly mail magazine dedicated to Oracle users, E-Magazine

Always documentation is priority one, but what I like with these kind of resources is that they support the beginners with simple examples and they are free accessible :)

Also today with a question of one of my colleague I searched and learned about dbms_utility.get_dependency function, I love this package :)


CREATE TABLE testtab (testcol VARCHAR2(20));

CREATE VIEW testview AS SELECT * FROM testtab;

CREATE TRIGGER testtrig
BEFORE INSERT
ON testtab
BEGIN
  NULL;
END testtrig;
/

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE testproc IS
 i PLS_INTEGER;
BEGIN
  SELECT COUNT(*)
  INTO i
  FROM testtab;

  dbms_output.put_line(TO_CHAR(i));
END testproc;
/

set serveroutput on
exec dbms_utility.get_dependency('TABLE', 'HR', 'TESTTAB');

DEPENDENCIES ON HR.TESTTAB
------------------------------------------------------------------
*TABLE HR.TESTTAB()
*   VIEW HR.TESTVIEW()
*   TRIGGER HR.TESTTRIG()
*   PROCEDURE HR.TESTPROC()

And the last words are for this interesting presentation which I was warned about by one of my colleagues, Block Level Tuning by Rich Niemiec, I guess you will also enjoy it as much as I did – http://www.nyoug.org/Presentations/2005/20050929tuningoracle.pdf
