RE: Please help: problem with index

Posted By:
Date:

Some observations.

I have used a similar plan to alter tables in OLTP systems ( before in place
alter)
On occasion I also corrected index issue with same method.

- The new table required the indexes built before the copy started.
the triggers I used, used primary key values for updates, and deletes.
as the table gets loaded, the trigger events for update and delete
will slow down without indexes to find the rows. A delete or update
is consider successful if no rows meet the query criteria.

- Take care when building the triggers on the existing table. A create
trigger is considered a table alter and can have consequences on
the applications accessing the table ( depending on how the application
was created/coded). The application I used this method against
needed to be shut down during the trigger criterion.

- The speed of the copy is not very important. With the triggers keeping
the tables in "sync" the copy just needs to complete ( ignoring rows
that have already "arrived" due to the insert trigger. The copy
will need to avoid using indexes to find its data ( as the indexes
are not in good shape in the existing table.)

- After the copy is complete the outage for the renames remains the same.

Subject: Re: Please help: problem with index [1103]


Here are the steps:

- create a new table with the same structure but no indexes or constraints
- add triggers to the original table to maintain the copy up-to-date if
needed
ie INSERT, DELETE, and UPDATE triggers which should use stored procedures
so
they can ignore rows that have not yet been copied
- copy the data from the original table (HP loader or my dbcopy utility are
good tools for copying large quantities of data quickly with minimal
impact)
- index the table (if there are unique indexes or unique and/or primary key
constraints start violations on it first and set constraints to filtering
to
remove offending rows that would prevent the indexes and constraints from
being created)
- add back the constraints
- stop processing for a bit
- rename the original table to a temp name
- rename the new table to the original name
- drop the original table.

Dbcopy is included in the package utils2_ak available for download from the
IIUG
Software Repository.
