SQL*Plus tips #5: sql_text/sql_fulltext formatting(sql beatifier)

Posted on April 29, 2013 by Sayan Malakshinov Posted in oracle, SQL*Plus, SQL*PLus tips 7,903 Page views 13 Comments

Sometimes I get tired of watching unformatted query text from v$sqlarea, dba_hist_sqltext in SQL*Plus, so I decided to include automatic query formatting in my scripts.
I thought that there are many libraries for such purposes on languages which i know, and it’s true, but it turned out that many of them are not appropriate for Oracle.
So I took the most appropriate – perl module SQL::Beautify and corrected it. Now i can share my first solution.

How it looks:
sql_textf

What you need to do it:
1. If you on Windows and you have not install Oracle RDBMS or cygwin, you need to install perl. It can be done for example with ActivePerl or StrawberryPerl, but i recommend cygwin
2. You need to save sql_format_standalone.pl within $SQL_PATH/inc directory.

=head1 NAME

OraTokenizer – A simple SQL tokenizer.

=head1 VERSION

0.20

=head1 SYNOPSIS

use OraTokenizer qw(tokenize_sql);

my $query= q{SELECT 1 + 1};
my @tokens= OraTokenizer->tokenize($query);

# @tokens now contains (‘SELECT’, ‘ ‘, ‘1’, ‘ ‘, ‘+’, ‘ ‘, ‘1’)

@tokens= tokenize_sql($query); # procedural interface

=head1 DESCRIPTION

OraTokenizer is a simple tokenizer for SQL queries. It does not claim to be
a parser or query verifier. It just creates sane tokens from a valid SQL
query.

It supports SQL with comments like:

— This query is used to insert a message into
— logs table
INSERT INTO log (application, message) VALUES (?, ?)

Also supports C<”>, C<""> and C<\’> escaping methods, so tokenizing queries
like the one below should not be a problem:

INSERT INTO log (application, message)
VALUES (‘myapp’, ‘Hey, this is a ”single quoted string”!’)

=head1 API

=over 4

=item tokenize_sql

use OraTokenizer qw(tokenize_sql);

my @tokens= tokenize_sql($query);
my $tokens= tokenize_sql($query);

$tokens= tokenize_sql( $query, $remove_white_tokens );

C<tokenize_sql> can be imported to current namespace on request. It receives a
SQL query, and returns an array of tokens if called in list context, or an
arrayref if called in scalar context.

=item tokenize

my @tokens= OraTokenizer->tokenize($query);
my $tokens= OraTokenizer->tokenize($query);

$tokens= OraTokenizer->tokenize( $query, $remove_white_tokens );

This is the only available class method. It receives a SQL query, and returns an
array of tokens if called in list context, or an arrayref if called in scalar
context.

If C<$remove_white_tokens> is true, white spaces only tokens will be removed from
result.

OraBeautify – Beautify SQL statements by adding line breaks indentation

=head1 SYNOPSIS

my $sql = OraBeautify->new;

$sql->query($sql_query);

my $nice_sql = $sql->beautify;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Beautifies SQL statements by adding line breaks indentation.

=head1 METHODS

=over 4

=item B<new>(query => ”, spaces => 4, space => ‘ ‘, break => "\n", wrap => {})

Constructor. Takes a few options.

=over 4

=item B<query> => ”

Initialize the instance with a SQL string. Defaults to an empty string.

=item B<spaces> => 4

Number of spaces that make one indentation level. Defaults to 4.

=item B<space> => ‘ ‘

A string that is used as space. Default is an ASCII space character.

=item B<break> => "\n"

String that is used for linebreaks. Default is "\n".

=item B<wrap> => {}

Use this if you want to surround certain tokens with markup stuff. Known token
types are "keywords" and "constants" for now. The value of each token type
should be an array with two elements, one that is placed before the token and
one that is placed behind it. For example, use make keywords red using terminal
color escape sequences.

{ keywords => [ "\x1B[0;31m", "\x1B[0m" ] }

=item B<uc_keywords> => 1|0

When true (1) all SQL keywords will be uppercased in output. Default is false (0).

=back

=item B<add>($more_sql)

Appends another chunk of SQL.

=item B<query>($query)

Sets the query to the new query string. Overwrites anything that was added with
prior calls to B<query> or B<add>.

=item B<beautify>

Beautifies the internally saved SQL string and returns the result.

=item B<add_keywords>($keyword, $another_keyword, \@more_keywords)

Add any amount of keywords of arrays of keywords to highlight.

=item B<add_rule>($rule, $token)

Add a custom formatting rule. The first argument is the rule, a string
containing one or more commands (explained below), separated by dashes. The
second argument may be either a token (string) or a list of strings. Tokens are
grouped by rules internally, so you may call this method multiple times with
the same rule string and different tokens, and the rule will apply to all of
the tokens.

The following formatting commands are known at the moment:

=over 4

=item B<token> – insert the token this rule applies to

=item B<over> – increase indentation level

=item B<back> – decrease indentation level

=item B<break> – insert line break

=item B<push> – push current indentation level to an internal stack

=item B<pop> – restore last indentation level from the stack

=item B<reset> – reset internal indentation level stack

=back

B<push>, B<pop> and B<reset> should be rarely needed.

B<NOTE>:
Custom rules override default rules. Some default rules do things that
can’t be done using custom rules, such as changing the format of a token
depending on the last or next token.

B<NOTE>:
I’m trying to provide sane default rules. If you find that a custom
rule of yours would make more sense as a default rule, please create a ticket.

=back

=head1 BUGS

Needs more tests.

Please report bugs in the CPAN bug tracker.

This module is not complete (known SQL keywords, special formatting of
keywords), so if you want see something added, just send me a patch.

SQL*Plus tips #4: Branching execution

Posted on April 17, 2013 by Sayan Malakshinov Posted in oracle, SQL*Plus, SQL*PLus tips 3,931 Page views Leave a comment

Today I’ll show a trick how we can use branching execution of SQLPlus scripts in SQL*Plus.
Although I previously showed the conditional execution of scripts and it really can be used for branching, but today I’ll show how to do it without splitting the script into several smaller scripts. In contrast to the conditional script execution, I’ll use a different method.

It is very simple, as usual – if you want to execute only one part of script, you can just comment out all unnecessary. So depending on the conditions, we can execute a script which will start a comment.

Suppose we need to create a script, which, depending on the input parameter will be required to execute a specific query.
See how this can be done:
1. “test.sql”:

def param = &1

@if &param=1
   select 1 from dual;
/* end_if */

@if &param=2
   select 2 from dual;
/* end_if */

@if &param=3
   select 3 from dual;
/* end_if */

2. “if.sql”:

col do_next new_val do_next noprint;
select 
      case 
         when &1 then 'inc/null'
         else 'inc/comment_on'
      end as do_next
from dual;
@&do_next

3. “inc/comment_on.sql” contains only 2 chars:

/*

4. “inc/null.sql” is the same as in the previous examples – just empty file.

Ok, lets test it:

SQL> @test 1

         1
----------
         1


SQL> @test 2


         2
----------
         2


SQL> @test 3


         3
----------
         3

As you see, we got what we wanted. Please note that we have to close the multiline comments in the right places only(/* end_if */). So we cannot use in these parts another “*/”. But you can use it in another child scripts.

Same way we can make an analogue of switch/case:
“test2.sql”:

@switch &1

   @when 1 then
      select 1 from dual;
   /* end when */

   @when 2 then
      select 2 from dual;
   /* end when */

   @when 3 then
      select 3 from dual;
   /* end when */

/* end switch */

switch.sql

SQL*Plus tips #3: Iterators and recursions

Posted on April 9, 2013 by Sayan Malakshinov Posted in oracle, SQL*Plus, SQL*PLus tips 2,926 Page views 8 Comments

We all used to iterators, recursions and branching in programming, but sql*plus does not have such commands. Today I will show how to do iterators/recusions.

Suppose we want to call a script 3 times. So it would be convenient if we can do it like:

@iterate 3 @some_script

It is very easy: We can recursively call the script by reducing variable until it is greater than zero. and if a variable is zero, then call an empty “NULL” script.
iterate.sql:

-- initializing input parameters as i showed in previous tips:
@inc/input_params_init.sql;
-- for example max number of input parameters = 14:
def _INIT_PARAMS = '"&3" "&4" "&5" "&6" "&7" "&8" "&9" "&10" "&11" "&12" "&13" "&14" "&15" "&16"'
def _ITER = "&1"

prompt ------   iteration &_ITER start: "@&2  -----------;
set termout off


col _SCRIPT    new_val _SCRIPT   noprint;
col _CONTINUE  new_val _CONTINUE noprint;
col _PARAMS    new_val _PARAMS   noprint;
select 
   replace('"&3" "&4" "&5" "&6" "&7" "&8" "&9" "&10" "&11" "&12" "&13" "&14" "&15" "&16"'
          ,'${ITER}'
          ,'&_ITER'
          )          as "_PARAMS"
  ,case 
      when &1 > 0 then 'iterate '||(&1 - 1)
      else 'inc/null'
   end               as "_CONTINUE"
  ,case 
      when &1 > 0 then '&2' 
      else 'inc/null'
   end               as "_SCRIPT"
from dual;
set termout on

@&_script            &_PARAMS
@&_CONTINUE &_SCRIPT &_INIT_PARAMS

As you see i also added option to pass iteration_number as input parameter, so we can call it like: @iterate 3 script.sql ${ITER}
And null.sql in “inc” directory is just empty file.

Lets test it:

SQL> $cat test.sql
select &1 a,'&2' b,'&3' c from dual;

SQL> @iterate 3 test.sql 1 2 3
------   iteration 3 start: "@test.sql  -----------

         A B C
---------- - -
         1 2 3

------   iteration 2 start: "@test.sql  -----------

         A B C
---------- - -
         1 2 3

------   iteration 1 start: "@test.sql  -----------

         A B C
---------- - -
         1 2 3

------   iteration 0 start: "@test.sql  -----------

SQL> @iterate 2 test.sql 1 2 ${ITER}
------   iteration 2 start: "@test.sql  -----------

         A B C
---------- - -
         1 2 2

------   iteration 1 start: "@test.sql  -----------

         A B C
---------- - -
         1 2 1

------   iteration 0 start: "@test.sql  -----------

Note that last string “iteration 0 start” just means that it is last empty call. I made this only for showing how we can do postprocessing after all iterations.
Ok, it works good, but with a little modification we can also add option to call such script with list of values too:

final iterate.sql

[sourcecode language=”sql”]
@inc/input_params_init.sql;

set termout off
def _INIT_PARAMS = ‘"&3" "&4" "&5" "&6" "&7" "&8" "&9" "&10" "&11" "&12" "&13" "&14" "&15" "&16"’
col _ITER_CURR new_val _ITER_CURR noprint
col _ITER_NEXT new_val _ITER_NEXT noprint
select
case
— simple N iterations:
when translate(‘&1′,’x0123456789′,’x’) is null
then ‘&1’
— list iteration:
when substr(‘&1’,1,1)='(‘
then decode( instr(‘&1′,’,’)
,0,substr(‘&1’,2,length(‘&1’)-2)
,substr(‘&1’,2,instr(‘&1′,’,’)-2)
)
end "_ITER_CURR",
case
when translate(‘&1′,’x0123456789′,’x’) is null
then
case
when ‘&1’>1 then ‘iterate ‘||(‘&1’ – 1)
else ‘inc/null’
end
when substr(‘&1’,1,1)='(‘
then
case
when instr(‘&1′,’,’)=0 or ‘&1’='()’ then ‘inc/null’
else ‘iterate ‘
||'(‘
||decode( instr(‘&1′,’,’)
,0,’)’
,substr(‘&1’,instr(‘&1′,’,’)+1)
)
end
end "_ITER_NEXT"
from dual;

set termout on
prompt ****** iteration &_ITER_CURR start: "@&2 ***********;
set termout off

col _SCRIPT new_val _SCRIPT noprint;
col _PARAMS new_val _PARAMS noprint;
select
replace(‘"&3" "&4" "&5" "&6" "&7" "&8" "&9" "&10" "&11" "&12" "&13" "&14" "&15" "&16"’
,’${ITER}’
,’&_ITER_CURR’
) as "_PARAMS"
,case
when nvl(‘&_ITER_CURR’,0) in (‘0′,'()’) then ‘inc/null’
else ‘&2’
end as "_SCRIPT"
from dual;
set termout on

@&_script &_PARAMS
@&_ITER_NEXT &_SCRIPT &_INIT_PARAMS
[/sourcecode]

[collapse]

See how it works:

-- iterate by list of values  (7,3,10):
SQL> @iterate (7,3,10) test.sql 1 2 ${ITER}
******   iteration 7 start: "@test.sql  ***********

         A B C
---------- - -
         1 2 7

******   iteration 3 start: "@test.sql  ***********

         A B C
---------- - -
         1 2 3

******   iteration 10 start: "@test.sql  ***********

         A B C
---------- - --
         1 2 10

-- now with simple 2 iterations:
SQL> @iterate 2 test.sql 1 2 ${ITER}
******   iteration 2 start: "@test.sql  ***********

         A B C
---------- - -
         1 2 2

******   iteration 1 start: "@test.sql  ***********

         A B C
---------- - -
         1 2 1

So if you call script with “iterate N …” it will iterate N times, and if you specify “iterate (X,Y,…,Z)” it will iterate by this list.

PS. About a branching i will wrote later…

SQL*Plus tips. #2

Posted on April 2, 2013 by Sayan Malakshinov Posted in oracle, SQL*Plus, SQL*PLus tips 3,516 Page views 10 Comments

I think you know the famous print_table procedure by Tom Kyte. It is really great, but a little hard(it requires create procedure or place it in anonymous block) and in last oracle versions we can do same with one simple query with xmltable/xmlsequence:

SQL> select *
  2  from
  3     xmltable( '/ROWSET/ROW/*'
  4               passing xmltype(cursor(select * from hr.employees where rownum<3))
  5               columns
  6                  col varchar2(100) path 'name()'
  7                 ,val varchar2(100) path '.'
  8        );

COL                            VAL
------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------
EMPLOYEE_ID                    198
FIRST_NAME                     Donald
LAST_NAME                      OConnell
EMAIL                          DOCONNEL
PHONE_NUMBER                   650.507.9833
HIRE_DATE                      21-JUN-07
JOB_ID                         SH_CLERK
SALARY                         2600
MANAGER_ID                     124
DEPARTMENT_ID                  50
EMPLOYEE_ID                    199

SALARY                         2600
MANAGER_ID                     124
DEPARTMENT_ID                  50

20 rows selected.

It is very easy, but for conveniency we need to add “rownum”:

SQL> select *
  2  from
  3     xmltable( 'for $a at $i in /ROWSET/ROW
  4                   ,$r in $a/*
  5                     return element ROW{
  6                                       element ROW_NUM{$i}
  7                                      ,element COL_NAME{$r/name()}
  8                                      ,element COL_VALUE{$r/text()}
  9                                      }'
 10               passing xmltype(cursor(select * from hr.employees where rownum<3))
 11               columns
 12                  row_num   int
 13                 ,col_name  varchar2(30)
 14                 ,col_value varchar2(100)
 15        );

   ROW_NUM COL_NAME                       COL_VALUE

         1 EMPLOYEE_ID                    198

         1 LAST_NAME                      OConnell
         1 EMAIL                          DOCONNEL
         1 PHONE_NUMBER                   650.507.9833
         1 HIRE_DATE                      21-JUN-07

         1 MANAGER_ID                     124
         1 DEPARTMENT_ID                  50
         2 EMPLOYEE_ID                    199
         2 FIRST_NAME                     Douglas
         2 LAST_NAME                      Grant
         2 EMAIL                          DGRANT
         2 PHONE_NUMBER                   650.507.9844
         2 HIRE_DATE                      13-JAN-08
         2 JOB_ID                         SH_CLERK
         2 SALARY                         2600
         2 MANAGER_ID                     124
         2 DEPARTMENT_ID                  50

20 rows selected.

Now we can create simple script for it with formatting:

print_table.sql

[sourcecode language=”sql”]
— show output
set termout on
— but without echo
set echo off
— without newpage on start:
set embedded on
— scrolling control
set pause on
— two lines between rows:
set newpage 2
— text for prompt after each page:
set pause "Press Enter to view next row…"
— new page on new "row_num"
break on row_num skip page

— main query:
select *
from
xmltable( ‘for $a at $i in /ROWSET/ROW
,$r in $a/*
return element ROW{
element ROW_NUM{$i}
,element COL_NAME{$r/name()}
,element COL_VALUE{$r/text()}
}’
passing xmltype(cursor( &1 ))
columns
row_num int
,col_name varchar2(30)
,col_value varchar2(100)
);
— disabling pause and breaks:
set pause off
clear breaks
[/sourcecode]

[collapse]

Usage example:print_table example
As you see script works fine, but it is require to pass query as parameter, though sometimes it is not so convenient. For example if we want started query and later decided to show it with print_table. In that case we can create scripts with tricks from previous part:
print_last.sql

[sourcecode language=”sql”]
store set settings.sql replace
— saving previous query:
save tmp.sql replace

— OS-dependent removing trailing slash from file, choose one:
— 1. for *nix through head:
!head -1 tmp.sql >tmp2.sql

— 2. for for *nix through grep:
–!grep -v tmp.sql >tmp2.sql

— 3. for windows without grep and head:
— $cmd /C findstr /v /C:"/" tmp.sql > tmp2.sql

— 4. for windows with "head"(eg from cygwin)
–$cmd /C head -1 tmp.sql > tmp2.sql

— 5. for windows with "grep":
–$cmd /C grep -v "/" tmp.sql > tmp2.sql

— same setting as in print_table:
set termout on echo off embedded on pause on newpage 2
set pause "Press Enter to view next row…"
break on row_num skip page

— main query:
select *
from
xmltable( ‘for $a at $i in /ROWSET/ROW
,$r in $a/*
return element ROW{
element ROW_NUM{$i}
,element COL_NAME{$r/name()}
,element COL_VALUE{$r/text()}
}’
passing dbms_xmlgen.getxmltype(
q'[
@tmp2.sql
]’
)
columns
row_num int
,col_name varchar2(30)
,col_value varchar2(100)
);
— disabling pause and breaks:
set pause off
clear breaks

PS. if you will use xmltype(cursor(…)) on versions less that 11.2.0.3 you can get errors with xml rewriting. In this case you need to disable it:

alter session set events '19027 trace name context forever, level 0x1';

Update:
Vladimir Przyjalkowski rightly pointed out that such approach will be suboptimal in case of big amount of data:

A nice toy, but i’m sure it will not tolerate big data.

It is absolutely true, because at first, “xmltype(cursor(…))” aggregated data as xmltype, and only then xmltable returns data.
But I use print_table for small amount of data only, and in case of when i want to see sample of data, i usually add limitation by rownum, which also convenient because it automatically changes optimizer mode with enabled parameter “_optimizer_rownum_pred_based_fkr” (it is default):

SQL> @param_ rownum

NAME                               VALUE   DEFLT  TYPE     DESCRIPTION
---------------------------------- ------- ------ -------- ------------------------------------------------------
_optimizer_rownum_bind_default     10      TRUE   number   Default value to use for rownum bind
_optimizer_rownum_pred_based_fkr   TRUE    TRUE   boolean  enable the use of first K rows due to rownum predicate
_px_rownum_pd                      TRUE    TRUE   boolean  turn off/on parallel rownum pushdown optimization

However, we can easily change the our query to make it optimally with a lot of data too:

select row_num
      ,t2.*
from 
   (select rownum row_num
         , column_value x
    from table(xmlsequence(cursor( &1 )))
   ) t1
  ,xmltable( '/ROW/*'
             passing t1.x
             columns
                col_num for ordinality
               ,col_name  varchar2(30) path 'name()'
               ,col_value varchar2(100) path '.'
      )(+) t2;

Lets test it with pipelined function which will pipe rows infinitely and log count of fetched rows:

-- drop table xt_log purge;
-- drop function f_infinite;

create table xt_log(n int);

create function f_infinite 
   return sys.ku$_objnumset pipelined 
as
   i int:=0;
   pragma autonomous_transaction;
begin
   loop 
      i:=i+1;
      insert into xt_log values(i);
      commit;
      pipe row(i);
   end loop;

exception 
   when NO_DATA_NEEDED then
      commit;
end;
/

New version of print_table: print_table2.sql

[sourcecode language=”sql”]
— set arraysize for minimal value, so sqlplus did not fetch extra rows:
set arraysize 2
— show output
set termout on
— but without echo
set echo off
— without newpage on start:
set embedded on
— scrolling control
set pause on
— two lines between rows:
set newpage 2
— text for prompt after each page:
set pause "Press Enter to view next row…"
— new page on new "row_num"
break on row_num skip page

— main query:
select row_num
,t2.*

SQL*Plus tips. #1

If you are using SQL*Plus, you are likely to use the input parameters. And if you omit one of them, SQL*Plus will show prompt for it, like this:

SQL> get test.sql
  1  select 'Input variable 1 = &1' from dual
  2  union all
  3  select 'Input variable 2 = &2' from dual
  4  union all
  5* select 'Input variable 3 = &3' from dual
SQL> @test var1 var2
Enter value for 3:

'INPUTVARIABLE1=VAR1'
-----------------------
Input variable 1 = var1
Input variable 2 = var2
Input variable 3 =

Elapsed: 00:00:00.01

It is allright, if all variables are needed, but what if we don’t want to press enter for all omitted variables or specify they(especially if script can be start in silent, non interactive mode) and want to use default values for omitted variables or these variables can be unnecessary?
Strictly speaking, there are many different techniques for solving it, see some of them:

Comma-separated params

[sourcecode language=”sql”]
SQL> get test1
1 col var1 new_value var1 noprint
2 col var2 new_value var2 noprint
3 col var3 new_value var3 noprint
4 set termout off
5 with any_splitting_technique as (
6 select *
7 from xmltable(‘ora:tokenize(.,",")[position()>1]’
8 passing ‘,’||’&1′
9 columns
10 i for ordinality
11 ,"." varchar2(30)
12 )
13 )
14 select

Last example also shows a very useful way to read file into a variable.
But i think, the best option for initializing parameters is the solution by Vladimir Begun:

SQL> get test3
  1  set termout off
  2  COLUMN 1 NEW_VALUE 1    noprint
  3  COLUMN 2 NEW_VALUE 2    noprint
  4  COLUMN 3 NEW_VALUE 3    noprint
  5  SELECT '' "1", '' "2", '' "3" FROM dual WHERE 1=0;
  6  SELECT nvl('&1','default1') "1"
  7       , nvl('&2','default2') "2"
  8       , nvl('&3','default3') "3"
  9    FROM dual;
 10  col var1 clear;
 11  col var2 clear;
 12  col var3 clear;
 13  set termout on
 14  prompt var1 = &1, var2 = &2, var3 = &3;
 15  undef 1
 16  undef 2
 17* undef 3
 18  .
SQL> @test3 1 2 3
var1 = 1, var2 = 2, var3 = 3
SQL> @test3 1 2
var1 = 1, var2 = 2, var3 = default3

So i can create 2 include files – for execution at the start and at the end of all scripts. I created directory “inc” for include files and files:

inc/s_begin.sql

[sourcecode language=”sql”]
store set splus_restore.sql replace
set termout off
COLUMN 1 NEW_VALUE 1 noprint
COLUMN 2 NEW_VALUE 2 noprint
COLUMN 4 NEW_VALUE 4 noprint
COLUMN 3 NEW_VALUE 3 noprint
COLUMN 5 NEW_VALUE 5 noprint
COLUMN 6 NEW_VALUE 6 noprint
COLUMN 7 NEW_VALUE 7 noprint
COLUMN 8 NEW_VALUE 8 noprint
COLUMN 9 NEW_VALUE 9 noprint
COLUMN 10 NEW_VALUE 10 noprint
COLUMN 11 NEW_VALUE 11 noprint
COLUMN 12 NEW_VALUE 12 noprint
COLUMN 13 NEW_VALUE 13 noprint
COLUMN 14 NEW_VALUE 14 noprint
COLUMN 15 NEW_VALUE 15 noprint
COLUMN 16 NEW_VALUE 16 noprint

SELECT ” "1", ” "5", ” "9", ” "13"
,” "2", ” "6", ” "10", ” "14"
,” "3", ” "7", ” "11", ” "15"
,” "4", ” "8", ” "12", ” "16"
FROM dual
WHERE 1=0;
set termout on;
[/sourcecode]

[collapse]

and
inc/s_end.sql

[sourcecode language=”sql”]
undef 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
@splus_restore;
[/sourcecode]

[collapse]
And for example get_index.sql:
get_index.sql

[sourcecode language=”sql”]
@inc/s_begin;
col table_owner format a12
col column_name format a30
col index_owner format a12
col index_name format a30

col "#" format 99
break on table_owner on table_name on index_owner on index_name on partition_name on mbytes on bytes on blocks
select
ic.table_owner
,ic.table_name
,ic.index_owner
,ic.index_name
,s.partition_name
,round(s.bytes/1024/1024) mbytes
,s.blocks
,ic.column_position "#"
,decode(ic.column_position,1,”,’ ,’)||ic.column_name column_name
from dba_ind_columns ic
,dba_segments s
where
upper(ic.table_name) like upper(‘&1’)
and upper(ic.table_owner) like nvl(upper(‘&2′),’%’)
and s.owner = ic.index_owner
and s.segment_name = ic.index_name
order by
1,2,3,4,8
/
clear break;
col "#" clear;
@inc/s_end;
[/sourcecode]

[collapse]

Sample output

[sourcecode language=”sql”]
SQL> @get_indexes wrh$%tab%stat xtender
Wrote file splus_restore.sql

no rows selected

Elapsed: 00:00:05.79
SQL> @get_indexes wrh$%undostat

As you see i can omit owner parameter and in this case it will search in all schemas.
