Accessing Schema Objects

8 - 5
Naming Database Objects
• The length of names must be from 1 to 30 bytes, with
these exceptions:
– Names of databases are limited to 8 bytes.
– Names of database links can be as long as 128 bytes.
• Nonquoted names cannot be Oracle-reserved words.
• Nonquoted names must begin with an alphabetic
character from your database character set.
• Quoted names are not recommended.

8 - 6
Specifying Data Types in Tables
Common data types:
• CHAR(size [BYTE|CHAR]): Fixed-length character
data of size bytes or characters
• VARCHAR2(size [BYTE|CHAR]): Variable-length
character string having a maximum length of size
bytes or characters
• DATE: Valid date ranging from January 1, 4712 (B.C.),
through December 31, 9999 (A.D.)
• NUMBER(p,s): Number with precision p and
scale s

8 - 7
Creating and Modifying Tables
Specify the table
name and schema.
Specify the column names,
data types, and lengths.

Creating and Modifying Tables
CREATE TABLE SHOPOWNER.JOBS (
Job_id NUMBER(5),
Job_title VARCHAR2(30),
MIN_SALARY NUMBER(6),
MAX_SALARY NUMBER(6)
)
TABLESPACE USERS;
ALTER TABLE SHOPOWNER.JOBS add bonus NUMBER(6);

Defining Constraints

8 - 11
Constraint Violations
Examples of how a constraint can be violated:
• Inserting a duplicate primary key value
• Deleting the parent of a child row in a referential
integrity constraint
• Updating a column to a value that is out of the bounds
of a check constraint

Constraint Checking
Constraints are checked at the time of:
• Statement execution (for nondeferred constraints)
• COMMIT (for deferred constraints)
Case: DML statement followed by COMMIT
Nondeferred constraints

Creating Constraints with SQL: Examples
ALTER TABLE countries
ADD (UNIQUE(country_name) ENABLE NOVALIDATE);
ALTER TABLE shopowner.jobs ADD CONSTRAINT job_pk PRIMARY
KEY (job_id);
CREATE TABLE emp (emp_no NUMBER PRIMARY KEY,Last_name
VARCHAR2(30), first_name VARCHAR2(30), dept_no NUMBER,
Mgr_no NUMBER, hire_date date,salary NUMBER,
CONSTRAINT Mgr_FK FOREIGN KEY (mgr_no) REFERENCES
emp(emp_no),CONSTRAINT ck1 CHECK (salary > 0));

Actions with Tables

8 - 18
Dropping a Table
Dropping a table removes:
• Data
• Table structure
• Database triggers
• Corresponding indexes
• Associated object privileges
Optional clauses for the DROP TABLE statement:
• CASCADE CONSTRAINTS: Dependent referential integrity
constraints
• PURGE: No flashback possible
DROP TABLE hr.employees PURGE;

8 - 19
Truncating a Table
• Truncating a table removes the data and releases used
space.
• Corresponding indexes are truncated.
TRUNCATE TABLE hr.employees;

Types of Indexes
These are several types of index structures that are
available depending on your needs. Two of the most
common are:
• B-tree index
– Default index type; in the form of a balanced tree
• Bitmap index:
– Has a bitmap for each distinct value indexed
– Each bit position represents a row that may or may not
contain the indexed value.
– Best for low-cardinality columns

Index Options
• Unique index: Ensures that every indexed value is
unique
• Reverse key index: Has its key value bytes stored in
reverse order
• Composite index: Is based on more than one column
• Function-based index: Is based on a function’s return
value
• Compressed index: Has repeated key values removed
• Order: An index can have its key values stored in
ascending or descending order.

Creating Indexes
CREATE INDEX my_index ON
employees(last_name, first_name);

Views
CREATE VIEW v AS SELECT location_id, country_name FROM
locations l, countries c
WHERE l.country_id = c.country_id AND c.country_id in
('AU','BR');

Sequences
A sequence is a mechanism for automatically
generating integers that follow a pattern.
• A sequence has a name, which is
how it is referenced when the next
value is requested.
• A sequence is not associated with
any particular table or column.
• The progression can be ascending or
descending.
• The interval between numbers can be of any size.
• A sequence can cycle when a limit is reached.

Using a Sequence
SQL> CREATE TABLE orders
(id NUMBER,
ord_date DATE,
prod_id NUMBER,
prod_desc VARCHAR2(30)
);
Table created.
SQL> INSERT INTO orders VALUES ( abc_seq.NEXTVAL,
sysdate, 1245009, 'Gizmo X');
1 row created.

Temporary Tables
A temporary table:
• Provides storage of data that is automatically cleaned
up when the session or transaction ends
• Provides private storage of data for each session
• Is available for use to all sessions without affecting the
private data of each session

Temporary Tables: Considerations
• Use the GLOBAL TEMPORARY clause to create temporary
tables:
• Use the TRUNCATE TABLE command to delete the
contents of the table.
• You can create the following on temporary tables:
– Indexes
– Views
– Triggers
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE employees_temp
ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS
AS SELECT * FROM employees;
