global or $GLOBALS
Hi! Just two short questions..: 1) In a function I want to get the value of a global variable declared outside the function. Should I use "global $variable" or $GLOBALS[variable]? Are there any differences in performance or other aspects which should make me choose the one thing or the other? 2) Generally, is it better to pass arguments to the function instead?

Global Temporary Table
Hello Oraclegurus, I would like to know if i am doing the right thing or not?? I've created a global temporary table "tempcomp". "create global temporary table tempcomp (col1 number,col2 char,col3varchar2)" . I looked into these groups and it was mentioned somewhere that default is "on commit delete rows"... I am assuming that the rows are being deleted after commit and not stored . We have a web application which would be calling a stored procedure which inserts into a global temporary some values we nee...

Global Temporary Tables
Each, Am wanting to create a temporary table within a PLSQL package. Have used EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'create global temporary table temp_status........' Problem now is that package wont compile due to insert statements for this table. Compiler has no idea about this temp table or its structure.

Hi all! I dont know how to declare and use a global temporary table in my java stored procedure....

global temporary tables?
In our application we have a table that tracks network sessions. The usage is: 1) create a session record 2) read/update the record several times during the session 3) delete the session record when the session ends Update activity on this table is going to be pretty intense, and the transient nature of the data makes it a good candidate for a temporary and/or in-memory table. Unfortunately, different network connections may be updating the same session record at different times (connection pool), so the CREATE TABLE TEMPORARY doesn't seem to fit the bill, since i...

Hi, I am inserting records to a global temporary table(say A) in which a trigger is fired and im getting results from other global tempory tables(say B, C, D,..)... This is my scenario...

global, globals(), _global ?
Using global variables in Python often raises chaos. Other languages use a clear prefix for globals. * you forget to declare a global * or you declare a global too much or in conflict * you have a local identical variable name and want to save/load it to/from the global with same name * while you add code, the definition of globals moves more and more apart from their use cases -> weirdness; programmers thinking is fragmented * using globals()['xy'] is 'stringy non-program-code' Thus, since long time at the head of my bigger modules I often put... _global = sys.modul...

Global temporary tables performance

globals and super globals
Hi, I'm looking for the best way to deal with globals in PHP. As a 'C' software developer, I would normally avoid all globals and not have any at all, but use structs and pass everything in the function parameters... However, being realistic, I can see that globals can (and do ?) have a place in PHP web scripts. As I see it, there are two approaches: 1) go with globals, 2) avoid globals. Looking at (1) ============== Sure, I can just put a 'global $a' at the start of every function that requires the use of the global '$a', but its an easy mistake to forge...

Global Temporary Table #2
Hello, We are running on Oracle 8.1.7.4 on Unix (AIX 4.3.3.0) I'm facing a problem with a global temporary table (on commit preserve rows) : it is going through the loop : - delete all - insert - update At the beginning of the procedure everything is going fine. I can see how the process is going on in v$session. After half an hour, the speed begins to decrease a lot and there are lot of "db file scattered read" events pointing to my temporary table. It is true that there are lots of FTS on this temporary table, but its content is very small (about 20 rows at each step of t...

EXPLAIN and Global Temporary Tables
I have my developers explaining the stored procedures that they write using visual studio. These stored procedures are for DB2 os390. In one case, one of the developers has defined a global temporary table that he uses to put the input parms into and then uses it to join against to create a dataset. When he runs explain (both visual explain, and CA's explain) it chokes on the SESSION.TABLE saying that it doesn't exist. Is there anyway I can have them explain these when they have global temporary tables defined? ...

GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE Efficiency ?
If I create one of these using DECLARE (not cataloged) and insert and then delete no more than 20 256-byte rows again and again, and if this would replace several overlapping legacy SELECTs, will I see run-time improvement ? I have heard from others that GTTs do not perform well. Here, I would expect a net reduction on physical I/O. But might there be an offsetting inefficiency otherwise ?

global temporary table disappears??
HP-UX 11.11 Ingres 2.6/0305 I'm using a script that creates several global temporary tables. Among other temporary tables created, part of the process creates one table and then creates a second table from some of the data from the previous one. I then do an update to the second one from the first with some additional data; an exercise in getting a unique set of data :-(. The update to the second table complains with the "tuple at tid already deleted" error. And then the next statement that tries to update a different table from the second table complains th...

global temporary table and connection pooling
The environment I'm running is apache/tomcat and oracle 816. I'm using global temporary tablespaces in certain cases( they were created using on commit preserve rows option as it is a multipart query), and then the table is truncated after the last query has executed. I've noticed that occasionally if I run two independent queries using 2 different sessions, and the second query accesses the temp table before the first session has truncated it, I'm seeing results from the first session. I thought that the global temporary tables were supposed to be restricted to the session. Do...

DECLARE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE problem
A bit longwinded; apologies in advance. My client has two large iSeries machines, both at V5R2 (they may be logical partitions of the same physical machine; I'm not sure.) The DECLARE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE statement in SQL behaves a little differently on the two machines, causing me problems. I am issuing the statement in the Run SQL Scripts window of the navigator; *SQL naming is in effect (this matters.) On the development machine, the table created is owned by the group profile to which my user profile belongs; there is no *GROUP authority generated, and *PUBLIC authority ...

Global Temporary Table performance with inserts.
I am using an Oracle Temporary table to generate a tree of data dependencies. I noticed that Inserts are significantly longer into the Temporary table than if I replaced the Global Temporary Table with a permanent table (just as a test case), almost by a factor of 50. The number of rows being inserted are approx. 100. Has any one experienced this issue and what are the workarounds? I am using Oracle 8.1.7 and have created the Global Temporary Table with "on commit preserve rows" clause. Thank you for your help in advance.
