Automated snapshot of any table (as well as GTT with delete rows)

Oracle in it's major two platforms (Oracle EBS and Oracle Retail) force massive usage of Global Temporary Tables. It has long been understood that materializing a subquery component can greatly improve SQL performance. Oracle global temporary tables are a great way to accomplish this. Those kind of tables are in most of cases defined with "on commit delete rows", which ensure that all rows are automatically delete on commit/rollback. But however this option ensure easy manipulation with GTT data, it has one big disadvantage-gathering statistic (after gather_stats GTT loose all content-implicit commit in package!).
12c note: Starting in 12c, Oracle will allows private optimizer statistics for global temporary tables, allowing you to invoke session-level dbms_stats to gather statistics specific to your own global temporary table. Prior to 12c, statistics were shared from a master copy of the CBO statistics. This means if you are lucky to gather statistic, internally, CBO statistics on a temporary table created by one session can also be used by other sessions. The problem arises when individual sessions create temporary tables with different characteristics to the level where it would change the execution plan. So we are stucked here. In 11g and backwards, capture data in autonomous transactions. We then move the data from the debug table back to the temporary table to generate Oracle statistics. From there we can import and export statistics to other databases as needed. Alter session set optimizer_dynamic_sampling=4; -> This is more time intensive and your idea would save quite a bit of time.
So basically, without any statistic you are left on your own and only god may help you when some careless developer place a huge amount of data in it and loop through it's content ... So this is why all around internet there are many articles where people admit that the are leaving this feature or move to collections. Must be said, collections are huge performance benefit but not good for uncontrolled processes (placed on some forms processes) because they spend huge amount of memory what may leave to other bigger problems. But If you are in controlled schedules or jobs, collections might be a better choice.
But for all other cases GTT are pretty irreplaceable and Oracle proves it.
So only solution to fight with GTT is to create table snapshots of GTT tables and later set those tables and execution plans. So this is why I decided to write a tool for this purpose.

The solution

As explained in mine older post, DDL in PL/SQL I use mine DDL procedure for controling DDL execution in PL/SQL packages. Here is another example of DDL use, for different purpose, of course ... for controlled dynamically table creation.

So, this procedure only create table according input parameters. And the best of all it is not only for GTT tables, but in mine case most of use for that types of table, so here comes it's name. Let me show an example of use of that procedure. First we have some table:
SQL> create table T1 (col1 varchar2(10), col2 integer);

Table created.
Fill it with data and show existance.
SQL> begin
  for i in 1 .. 10 LOOP
    insert into t1 values ('loop '|| to_char(i),i);
  end loop;
  commit;
end;
/  2    3    4    5    6    7

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.


SQL> select table_name, tablespace_name from user_tables WHERE table_name like 'T1%';

TABLE_NAME                     TABLESPACE_NAME
------------------------------ ------------------------------
T1                             TOOLS
To create snapshot of T1 table, initially similar table structure must exists. For that I use create_snapshot_table procedure. Here is an example:
SQL> set serveroutput on size 1000000;
SQL>
SQL> DECLARE
  2    l_i     PLS_INTEGER;
  3    l_msg   VARCHAR2 (128 CHAR);
  4  BEGIN
  5    l_i := create_snapshot_table (p_owner=>USER, p_gtt_table=> 'T1', p_gtt_snapshot=> 'T1_COPY');
  6    dbms_output.put_line(l_i);
  7  END;
  8  /
1

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
"1" means that DDL was executed succesfully. All other negative numbers means SQLCODE of error. So now we have T1 and structure replica of T1->T1_COPY. Here is an example of creating custom name replica in another tablespace:
SQL> DECLARE
  2    l_i     PLS_INTEGER;
  3    l_msg   VARCHAR2 (128 CHAR);
  4  BEGIN
  5    l_i := create_snapshot_table (p_owner=>USER, p_gtt_table=> 'T1', p_gtt_snapshot=> 'T1_COPY', p_tablespace=>'SQLTUNE');
  6    dbms_output.put_line(l_i);
  7  END;
  8  /
1

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Here is an example of creating automated replica name in another tablespace:
SQL> DECLARE
  2    l_i     PLS_INTEGER;
  3    l_msg   VARCHAR2 (128 CHAR);
  4  BEGIN
  5    l_i := create_snapshot_table (p_owner=>USER, p_gtt_table=> 'T1', p_gtt_snapshot=> null, p_tablespace=>'SQLTUNE');
  6    dbms_output.put_line(l_i);
  7  END;
  8  /
1

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
And here is another example of fully automated replica name creation in the same tablespace as source table:
SQL> DECLARE
  2    l_i     PLS_INTEGER;
  3    l_msg   VARCHAR2 (128 CHAR);
  4  BEGIN
  5    l_i := create_snapshot_table (p_owner=>USER, p_gtt_table=> 'T1', p_gtt_snapshot=> null, p_tablespace=>null);
  6    dbms_output.put_line(l_i);
  7  END;
  8  /
1

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Now let's take a look of all tables create in previous examples, with their tablespaces:
SQL> select table_name, tablespace_name from user_tables WHERE table_name like 'T1%';

TABLE_NAME                     TABLESPACE_NAME
------------------------------ ------------------------------
T1                             TOOLS
T1_20130713_192406             SQLTUNE
T1_20130713_192530             TOOLS
T1_COPY                        SQLTUNE

SQL>
As you can see automated name has "sysdate" based value in name, so you can repeat creating this tables endlessly (until 1 sec difference is enough). This may be very helpful in trigger use.
If you implement mentioned logic in GT table after insert trigger, then you may fully automate data savings in GT tables, with filter you preserve. For that I use next procedure:
create or replace function generate_snapshot_trigger (

The beauty in this solution is that either snapshot DDL and trigger are created, so all can be automated out of the box. Here are some examples.

set define off

set feedback off

DECLARE

END CUSTOMER_PRICES_GTT_AI$;   
/ 
In both of previous examples i use:
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO tmpVar FROM  ...
WHEN tmpVar > 0 THEN   
because I want to catch only first insert part and no others. This was important for exam of execution plans in runtime-and this is what mine primary aim was. However, this filter may be adopted to your needs-so if removed all inserts will be saved..

The End

Has to emphasized that for GT tables only use of bulk collection (in the same session) may save data. But this functionality allow to use this solution as well in all other tables as well.
Hope this helps someone.

Cheers!
