[SOLVED] Question about SAME_DB

I am trying to read data from a focus table and store it in a temporary table in Oracle to speed up the subsequent oracle join operation.

If i have the following statements

ENGINE SQLORA SET DEFAULT_CONNECTION RGSProd
TABLE FILE MYSTORS
PRINT STOREID
ON TABLE HOLD AS STORLST2 FORMAT SAME_DB PERSISTENCE GLOBAL_TEMPORARY
END
SQL SQLORA PREPARE SQLOUT FOR
select
Store_Number,
StoreID,
Addr1,
City,
State
from
STORLST2
inner join
StoreMaster SM
ON SM.Store_Number = STORLST2.StoreID
where
month_number = 10 AND
year_number = 2008
order by
STore_number
;
END
TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT .......

where MYSTORS is a FOCUS table

I am getting an error message when I try to join STORLST2 with the other Oracle table.

The error message is

(FOC1400) SQLCODE IS 942 (HEX: 000003AE)
(FOC1409) SQL TABLE NOT FOUND. (FOR TABLE: CHECK SEGNAME AND TABLE)
: ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
: Erroneous token: STORLST2
L (FOC1405) SQL PREPARE ERROR.

Does the ON HOLD statement create an oracle temp table or a FOCUS table?

The SAME_DB syntax is for relational tables only and it know which one based on the engine specified in the master file description. If you want the table saved in Oracle, you will have to say something like ON TABLE HOLD AS STORELST2 FORMAT SQLORA. That will not make it a temporary table however.

I should have been more specific....

The MYSTORS hold file was created after reading the stor list from a SQL Server database. Here is the code...

ENGINE SQLMSS SET DEFAULT_CONNECTION SalesAssist_Dev
SQL SQLMSS PREPARE SQLOUT FOR
select distinct convert(integer, store_id) as STOREID
from
[dbo].tblMerchStoreForMDN S_MDN
where
S_MDN.MDN = 27002
;
END
TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT *
ON TABLE HOLD AS MYSTORS
END


Now since the SAME_DB command applies only to relational DBs would it not consider the RGSProd database (specified in the ENGINE SQLORA SET DEFAULT_CONNECTION RGSProd
statement) as the one where the temporary table needs to be created?

Balram,

Have you read the doc on this feature? The way it goes is:

SQL SQLMSS
SELECT some_columns
FROM some_table
WHERE something_is_true;
TABLE
ON TABLE HOLD AS some_filename FORMAT SAME_DB PERSISTENCE GLOBAL_TEMPORARY
END
