Sql error 1732 performing UPD on table PROGDIR

Hello

It's about a tricky problem I get with an undocumented Oracle parameter

I get that error on a Unix box with Oracle 11.2.0.3.7 SBP 2013-09

When accessing to any table through SE16 I get a dump:

Runtime Errors         DBIF_RSQL_SQL_ERROR

Exception              CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB

Date and Time          07.11.2013 14:01:45

UPDATE "PROGDIR" SET "RSTAT"=:A0 , "UNAM"=:A1 , "CNAM"=:A2 , "EDTX"=:A3 , "RLOAD"=:A4 ,

"OCCURS"=:A5\ [dbsc.c#2316],

"SUBC"=:A6 WHERE "NAME"=:A7 AND "STATE"=:A8 ; [dbsc.c#2318]

***LOG BY4=> sql error 1732 performing UPD on table PROGDIR

No error were reported at Oracle level.

It took a while before I discover that this was caused by parameter _simple_view_merging  wrongly set to TRUE.

I did test this on a Windows system with  Oracle 11.2.0.3 Bundle patch 22.

That time _simple_view_merging had to be set to FALSE to get the same Dump.

The thing is that I do not understand how that parameter can cause that problem has far as no IOTs are reported on my DB.

SELECT count(*) FROM DBA_INDEXES WHERE INDEX_TYPE = 'IOT - TOP' AND OWNER like 'SAP%';

COUNT(*)

      0

I will be pleased to understand the root cause of that problem.

Anyway I think it is a good thing to know, that's why I did post this message.

Best regards

1915485 - Wrong results on Oracle Index Organized Table (IOT's)

A query involving IOT and secondary IOT indexes returns wrong results with the fix for bug 13705338 applied.

SELECT count(*) FROM DBA_INDEXES WHERE INDEX_TYPE = 'IOT - TOP' AND OWNER like 'SAP%';

      0

If you see that your SAP user having a count > 0 then IOT's are created and you are affected by this bug.
If not, you don't need to apply the mentioned patch below.

Hi Yves,

i think two things are mixed up here: Wrong result sets and an ORA-01732 (data manipulation operation not legal on this view) error. I don't know how the database object PROGDIR looks like in detail, but does this issue maybe occur on parsing?

For example on your unix box:

shell> sqlplus <SAP_SCHEMA_OWNER>/<PASS>

SQL> alter session set "_simple_view_merging"=TRUE;

SQL> explain plan for UPdATE "PROGDIR"

                                    SET "RSTAT"=:A0 , "UNAM"=:A1 , "CNAM"=:A2 , "EDTX"=:A3 , "RLOAD"=:A4 ,  "OCCURS"=:A5, "SUBC"=:A6

                                    WHERE "NAME"=:A7 AND "STATE"=:A8 ;

SQL> alter session set "_simple_view_merging"=FALSE;

SQL> explain plan for UpDATE "PROGDIR"

                                    SET "RSTAT"=:A0 , "UNAM"=:A1 , "CNAM"=:A2 , "EDTX"=:A3 , "RLOAD"=:A4 ,  "OCCURS"=:A5, "SUBC"=:A6

                                    WHERE "NAME"=:A7 AND "STATE"=:A8 ;

Hello Stefan,

Thank you for your help.

It is not a matter of a wrong result set.

It's a simple update query that is seen as incorrect when the _simple_view_merging parameter is changed from it's default value

I did run the query on sqlplus, replacing the bind variables and I get the same, error.

sqlplus "/as sysdba"

set lines 128

Hi Yves,

thanks for the detailed information.

I knew that your current issue is not about the wrong result set, but you have mentioned SAPnote #1915485 which explains this as a reason for setting this parameter - in reality there are some others as well

I am pretty sure that this is not an issue with the execution of the SQL - it is an issue with parsing. Can you please run my previous posted SQL example on your unix box and post the result.

Regards

Stefan

Stefan,

Sure that parameter must have other effects, but I was not able to find that much information about them on the Web, even on Metalink.

It is strange because the view & the update statement are very simple.

DST Upgrade using DBMS_DST.BEGIN_PREPARE fail with ORA-2014 (Doc ID 1407273.1)

The same issue has been reported under Bug 10138792  ORA-2014 ON SEGMENT ADVISOR SELECT STMT WHEN _SIMPLE_VIEW_MERGING=FALSE, closed as not a bug. When the SELECT FOR UPDATE statement applied to view, anything that prevents view merging from taking place would result in ORA-2014  error;  "anything" could be no_merge hint, setting the parameter  "_simple_view_merging" to false, or something in the query structure that  prevents view merging. In this case, the database has "_simple_view_merging" set to FALSE and the DBMS_DST.BEGIN_PREPARE has similar calls to SELECT FOR UPDATE statements.

Bug 12537316 - ORA-600 / ORA-7445 for SQL with merged subquery (Doc ID 12537316.8)

When a query has a view with a select sub-query, after the view is merged and  the select sub-query appears in places other than the select list then ORA-600 or ORA-7445 errors may be produced.


Find in attachment the command run on the Windows box.

I do not have a remote access to the Unix box, I'll try to have someone running it for me tomorrow and I will post the result.

Thanks for you help

Hi Yves,

i have done a little bit of researching about this with an adopted and stripped down example on Oracle 11.2.0.3.6.

SQL> create table TESTME (a VARCHAR2(10), B VARCHAR2(2));

SQL> insert into TESTME values ('TEST','A');

SQL> commit;

SQL> create view TESTME_V as select A from TESTME where B = 'A';

SQL> alter session set "_simple_view_merging"=TRUE;

SQL> explain plan for UPDATE TESTME_V SET A = 'TESTU' where A = 'TEST';

SQL> alter session set "_simple_view_merging"=FALSE;

SQL> explain plan for UPDATE TESTME_V SET A = 'TESTU' where A = 'TEST';

ERROR at line 1:

ORA-01732: data manipulation operation not legal on this view

So far it is reproducible with that stripped exampled. It behaves the same way on 11g R2 and 12c R1. Parameter "_simple_view_merging" is described as "control simple view merging performed by the optimizer". As this issue occurs by parsing - let's do some CBO traces.

*** CBO Trace (with "_simple_view_merging"=TRUE;") ***

CVM - complex view merging

SPJ - select-project-join

OJE: Begin: find best directive for query block SEL$1 (#0)

OJE: End: finding best directive for query block SEL$1 (#0)

CVM:   Merging SPJ view SEL$1 (#0) into UPD$1 (#0)

Registered qb: SEL$DA9F4B51 0x7b31eab8 (VIEW MERGE UPD$1; SEL$1)

Final query after transformations:******* UNPARSED QUERY IS *******

SELECT 0 FROM SYS."TESTME" "TESTME" WHERE "TESTME"."A"='TEST' AND "TESTME"."B"='A'

kkoqbc: optimizing query block SEL$DA9F4B51 (#0)

*** CBO Trace (with "_simple_view_merging"=FALSE;") ***

OJE: Begin: find best directive for query block SEL$1 (#0)

OJE: End: finding best directive for query block SEL$1 (#0)

SVM:     SVM bypassed: Parameter.

Take a look at the cost based query transformation in the example with simple view merging enabled (for UPDATE statement). At last let's take a look at the detailed execution plans in case of SELECTs and the corresponding working UPDATE.

SQL> alter session set "_simple_view_merging"=TRUE;

SQL> select A from TESTME_V where A = 'TEST';

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Id  | Operation      | Name   | E-Rows |E-Bytes| Cost (%CPU)| E-Time   |

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

|   0 | SELECT STATEMENT  |       |        |        |      2 (100)|        |

|*  1 |  TABLE ACCESS FULL| TESTME |      1 |     10 |      2   (0)| 00:00:01 |

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Predicate Information (identified by operation id):

---------------------------------------------------

   1 - filter(("A"='TEST' AND "B"='A'))

SQL> alter session set "_simple_view_merging"=FALSE;

SQL> select A from TESTME_V where A = 'TEST';

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Id  | Operation       | Name     | E-Rows |E-Bytes| Cost (%CPU)| E-Time   |

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|   0 | SELECT STATEMENT   |          |        |       |     2 (100)|           |

|   1 |  VIEW           | TESTME_V |      1 |     7 |     2     (0)| 00:00:01 |

|*  2 |   TABLE ACCESS FULL| TESTME   |      1 |    10 |     2     (0)| 00:00:01 |

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Predicate Information (identified by operation id):

---------------------------------------------------

   2 - filter(("B"='A' AND "A"='TEST'))

SQL> alter session set "_simple_view_merging"=TRUE;

SQL> UPDATE TESTME_V SET A = 'TESTU' where A = 'TEST';

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Id  | Operation       | Name   | E-Rows |E-Bytes| Cost (%CPU)| E-Time   |

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|   0 | UPDATE STATEMENT   |        |         |         |       2 (100)|         |

|   1 |  UPDATE        | TESTME |         |         |          |         |

|*  2 |   TABLE ACCESS FULL| TESTME |       1 |      10 |       2   (0)| 00:00:01 |

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Predicate Information (identified by operation id):

---------------------------------------------------

   2 - filter(("A"='TEST' AND "B"='A'))

If simple view merging is enabled the view definition is resolved (eliminated) and a simple SELECT or UPDATE with the concatenated predicates is performed on the underlying table. Otherwise only the predicate is pushed down, but this works in a SELECT scenario only. In case of an UPDATE the optimizer took notice of that and stops at the point of SVM.

Regards

Stefan

P.S.: I can highly recommend the presentation of Jože Senegačnik about "Query Transformations", if you are interested into such query transformations in more detail.

A quick update, SAP has released a note on that problem...

1922481  - ORA-01732: data manipulation operation not legal on this view

Funny to notice that there is a mistake, (at least in version 2) of the note as undocumented (beginning with an underscore) parameters cannot be queried through view v$parameter...

select value from v$parameter where name='_simple_view_merging';

no rows selected

To find the value of hidden parameter, as stated few lines upper:

SELECT substr(a.ksppinm,1,20) "Parameter",  substr(b.ksppstvl,1,5) "Session", substr(c.ksppstvl,1,5) "Instance" FROM x$ksppi a, x$ksppcv b, x$ksppsv c WHERE a.indx = b.indx AND a.indx = c.indx AND a.ksppinm LIKE '%simple_view_merging%';
