38 DBMS_CSX_ADMIN

The DBMS_CSX_ADMIN package provides an interface to customize the setup when transporting a tablespace containing binary XML data.

The chapter contains the following topics:


Using DBMS_CSX_ADMIN


Overview

This package can be used by DBAs to customize the setup when transporting a tablespace containing binary XML data. The use of the package is not required in order for a transportable tablespace job to run.

By default, all binary XML tables will use the default token table set, which will be replicated during transport on the target database. To avoid the cost of transporting a potentially large token table set, the DBA may opt for registering a new set of token tables for a given tablespace. The package provides routines for token table set registration and lookup.


Constants

The DBMS_CSX_ADMIN package uses the constants shown in Table 38-1:

Table 38-1 DBMS_CSX_ADMIN Constants

Name Type Value Description

DEFAULT_LEVEL

BINARY_INTEGER

0

Default token table

TAB_LEVEL

BINARY_INTEGER

1

Token table set associated with tables, not tablespaces

TBS_LEVEL

BINARY_INTEGER

2

Token table set associated with a tablespace

NO_CREATE

BINARY_INTEGER

0

Token tables already exist, associate them with the given table/tablespace

NO_INDEXES

BINARY_INTEGER

1

Do not create indexes on the new set of token tables

WITH_INDEXES

BINARY_INTEGER

2

Create indexes on the token tables

DEFAULT_TOKS

BINARY_INTEGER

0

Prepopulate the token tables with default token mappings

NO_DEFAULT_TOKS

BINARY_INTEGER

1

Do not prepopulate the token tables with default token mappings



Examples

Example 1: Register a New Set of Token Tables for the Tablespace

To prepare a tablespace CSXTS for export, the DBA can register a new set of token tables for the tablespace with the following PL/SQL:

DECLARE
  tsno   number;
  stmt   varchar2(2000);
BEGIN
  stmt := 'SELECT ts# FROM ts$ WHERE (name = ''' || 'CSXTS' || ''')';
  EXECUTE IMMEDIATE stmt into tsno;
  DBMS_CSX_ADMIN.REGISTERTOKENTABLESET(
    tstabno     =>  tsno, 
    guid        =>  NULL,
    flags       =>  DBMS_CSX_ADMIN.TBS_LEVEL, 
    tocreate    =>  DBMS_CSX_ADMIN.WITH_INDEXES,
    defaulttoks =>  DBMS_CSX_ADMIN.DEFAULT_TOKS);
  COMMIT;
END;
/

In this example, the new token tables are indexed, populated with default token mappings, and associated with all tables in the CSXTS tablespace. All subsequent loads of binary XML data in CSXTS will make use of the new set of token tables. The advantage is that no loading of binary XML data in other tablespaces will affect the size of the token tables used by CSXTS and exported during a tablespace export of CSXTS. This setup is suited to the case in which the tablespace does not yet contain binary XML data.

Example 2: Copying the Default Token Tables in a New Set

If binary XML data already exists in the tablespace to be exported, the DBA has the option of copying the default token tables in a new set.

DECLARE
  tsno   number;
  stmt   varchar2(2000);
  qntab  varchar2(34);
  nmtab  varchar2(34);
  pttab  varchar2(34);
BEGIN
  stmt := 'select ts# from ts$ where (name = ''' || 'CSXTS' || ''')';
  EXECUTE IMMEDIATE stmt INTO tsno;
  DBMS_CSX_ADMIN.COPYDEFAULTTOKENTABLESET(
    tstabno => tsno, qntab, nmtab, pttatb);
  COMMIT;
END;
/

This setup is suited to the case in which the DBA wishes to optimize the export of a tablespace that already contains binary XML data, and does not have associated a token table set. After cloning the default token table set, all subsequent loads of binary XML data in CSXTS will make use of the new set of token tables.

COPYDEFAULTTOKENTABLESET Procedure

This procedure creates a new token table set associated with a given tablespace, and populates the token tables with the token mappings from the default token tables.

Syntax

DBMS_CSX_ADMIN.COPYDEFAULTTOKENTABLESET  (
   tsno         IN    NUMBER,
   qnametable   OUT   VARCHAR2,
   nmspctable   OUT   VARCHAR2,

GETTOKENTABLEINFO Procedure & Function

Given the table name and the owner, the first overload of the procedure returns the globally unique identifier (GUID) of the token table set where token mappings for this table can be found. The procedure returns also the names of the token tables, and whether the token table set is the default one.

Given the object number of a table, the second overload of the procedure returns the GUID of the token table set used by the table, and whether this is the default token table set.
