Workspace Error : ORA-20229

EXEC DBMS_WM.ENABLEVERSIONING('FACEBOOKBOUNDARY');

ORA-20229: statement 'delete from mdsys.sdo_geom_metadata_table' failed during EnableVersioning. Error:
ORA-20229: statement 'select count(*)
       from mdsys.sdo_geom_metadata_table
       where upper(
ORA-06512: at "WMSYS.LT", line 9175
ORA-06512: at line 1



when this error occurs


delete the FACEBOOKBOUNDARY_lt  entry from user_sdo_geom_metadata table
and then execute

EXEC DBMS_WM.ENABLEVERSIONING('FACEBOOKBOUNDARY');

it will works

Compressed Tables Cannot Versiondisable

create table testversion ( pkl number primary key,s_var varchar2(10));

ALTER TABLE TESTVERSION CACHE COMPRESS  PARALLEL ( DEGREE Default INSTANCES Default );

exec dbms_wm.enableversioning('TESTVERSION');

exec dbms_wm.disableversioning('TESTVERSION');

ORA-20231: 'TESTVERSION'  failed during DisableVersioning. Error:
ORA-39726: unsupported add/drop column operation on compressed tables .

  This error occurs when we try to version disable a  compressed table ;its  because during version enabling a compressed table   four columns  VERSION, NEXTVER, DELSTATUS, LTLOCK are not created

SO THERE IS NO USE TO VERSION ENABLE A COMPRESSED TABLE BECAUSE FOLLOWING 
VERSION, NEXTVER, DELSTATUS, LTLOCK COLUMNS ARE NOT CREATED WHICH ARE THE NUCLUES OF THE VERSIONING 


WHEN A COMPRESSED TABLE IS VERSION ENABLED ONLY  A VIEW NAMED 'TESTVERSION' IS CREATED .NO TRIGGERS AND OTHER VIEWS ARE CREATED


WHEN A COMPRESSED TABLE IS TRIED TO VERSION DISABLED ITS STATE IS CHANGED TO 'DV' .EVEN THOUGHT IT THROWS ERROR

CHECK THE BELOW QUERY FOR VERSIONED STATUS OF A TABLE

SELECT DISABLING_VER,UNDO_CODE FROM WMSYS.WM$VERSIONED_TABLES WHERE OWNER='SCHEMAMERGE' AND TABLE_NAME='TESTVERSION' ;

AND IF YOU CHECK IN UNDO_CODE COLUMN OF THIS WMSYS.WM$VERSIONED_TABLES TABLE YOU CAN GET WHY VERSION DISABLE OF THE COMPRESSED TABLE DEOSNT WORK

DBMS_WM.CompressWorkspace

DBMS_WM.Compress Workspace

 If   you version enabled the tables with  DBMS_WM.EnableVersioning ('TABLE_NAME', 'VIEW_WO_OVERWRITE')   API  THEN your  Oracle Workspace  database WILL  GET SLOW  WHEN SO MANY DATA COMES ; use DBMS_WM.CompressWorkspace API  TO MAKE IT FASTER; There is a scenario to check  whether your Workspace  is getting slow or Workspace database is to be Compressed or not ,execute this  workspace API
DBMS_WM.SetDiffVersions('LIVE',wksp2) . and  then  pick a version enabled table having highest record count   , issue command select count(*) from tablename_diff ; if it takes more than a minute to GET RESULT THEN YOU CAN MAKE SURE THAT YOU NEED TO COMPRESS YOUR WORKSPACE ;here u want to use the   statement  (1) , using statement (2) will not give better result because your table is version enabled  with DBMS_WM.EnableVersioning ('TABLE_NAME', 'VIEW_WO_OVERWRITE')  .

(1) exec DBMS_WM.CompressWorkspace('LIVE',compress_view_wo_overwrite => true);

(2) exec DBMS_WM.CompressWorkspace('LIVE')



VIEW_WO_OVERWRITE: The without overwrite (WO_OVERWRITE) option. A view named _HIST  is created to contain history information, and it will show all modifications to the same version of the table. A history of modifications to the version is maintained; that is, subsequent changes to a row in the same version do not overwrite earlier changes.

compress_view_wo_overwrite        A Boolean value (TRUE or FALSE).

TRUE causes history information between the affected savepoints to be deleted even if VIEW_WO_OVERWRITE was specified when versioning was enabled.

FALSE causes history information (between the affected savepoints) for a table not to be deleted if VIEW_WO_OVERWRITE was specified when versioning was enabled. (If VIEW_WO_OVERWRITE was not specified for a table, history information for the table is deleted regardless of the parameter value.) FALSE is assumed if the procedure format without this parameter is used.


Advantage
------------
1  Run-time performance for Workspace Manager operations is improved.
2  Less disk storage is used for Workspace Manager structures

ADD FOREIGN KEY TO VERSIONED TABLE

   ORACLE WORKSPACE MANAGER  TOPIC

    If there is  a version enabled table 'BILL' and
  
 /*  CREATE TABLE BILL (N_BILLID NUMBER(10), CONSTRAINT PK_BILL PRIMARY KEY (N_BILLID));
   EXEC DBMS_WM.ENABLEVERSIONING('BILL') ; */
   
 now i created a new table BILL_DETAILS which must be a child table of BILL
 
 /* CREATE TABLE BILL_DETAILS ( N_BILLDTID NUMBER(10),CONSTRAINT PK_BILLDETAILS PRIMARY KEY (N_BILLDTID) ,   N_BILLID NUMBER(10) , S_DESC VARCHAR2 (100), D_SYSDATE  DATE   DEFAULT SYSDATE ) ; */
  
 here you are not able to add a foreign key between one versioned and one non-versioned table.if it is done  oracle error will be the result


 ORA-20200: UNSUPPORTED CONSTRAINT
   
for that you would need to execute dbms_wm.enableversioning on the non-versioned table (you can add a foreign key between 2 version enabled tables) if you don't  want the detail to be kept as version enabled table then you can disable versioning of the detail table.

    EXEC DBMS_WM.ENABLEVERSIONING('BILL_DETAILS') 
  
    EXEC DBMS_WM.BEGINDDL('BILL');
  
    EXEC DBMS_WM.BEGINDDL('BILL_DETAILS');
  
   ALTER TABLE    BILL_DETAILS_LTS ADD CONSTRAINT FK_BILLDET_BILL FOREIGN KEY (N_BILLID)  REFERENCES BILL_LTS(N_BILLID);
  
   EXEC DBMS_WM.COMMITDDL('BILL');
  
   EXEC DBMS_WM.COMMITDDL('BILL_DETAILS');

   EXEC DBMS_WM.DISABLEVERSIONING('BILL_DETAILS')   ;
