Abstract

So far this book has used pre-built objects but now it’s time to start making our own. This book assumes you are familiar with basic Data Definition Language commands like CREATE TABLE. This chapter describes advanced features of Oracle schema objects and the advanced DDL commands to create and maintain them.

Footnotes
1
There are ALTER commands that affect object-relational code. But those exceptions are a reason why we should avoid object-relational technology. It’s a nightmare when altering code permanently breaks our data.

Adrian Billington’s excellent website describes how to use a preprocessor to generate a list of files in a directory: www.oracle-developer.net/display.php?id=513 .

Partition-wise joins work one partition at a time. Joining per partition instead of per table can significantly decrease the memory requirements and improve performance. But partition-wise joins only happen if the tables are partitioned the exact same way and the join uses the partition column. Most hash-partitioned tables are a mistake because programmers incorrectly think partition-wise joins happen with every join.
 
5
To make things even more confusing, Oracle has an unrelated CREATE SCHEMA command. The CREATE SCHEMA command does not create a user, the command is for creating multiple objects with one statement. This unusual command is useful for creating tables with circular dependencies.
