This document covers the following topics:
For Oracle tables and views, a Predict object documenting the Oracle database containing the tables/views must exist.
Note:
See Concepts of
Incorporation for basic information on how to use
incorporation functions.
The Incorporate Oracle Tables/Views
screen is called with function code I and object code OF in a Predict main menu
or with the command INCORPORATE TABLES.

Common parameters which are not included in the table below are described under Common Parameters for All Oracle Types.
| Parameters | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Table / view name | The name in Oracle of the tables and views from which the data dictionary objects are to be created. Asterisk notation is allowed. | ||||||||
| Tables or views |
|
||||||||
| Creator name | The Oracle "creator" of the tables and views from which the data dictionary objects are to be created. Asterisk notation is allowed. | ||||||||
| Connect automatic | Y - Oracle table/views and the Predict object will be connected by the Compare function (code T) if no differences were detected between the field lists of the two objects. | ||||||||
| File attributes | Y - Attributes of the Predict file object and, for files of type E, the subselect specification of the SQL create statement are to be updated. The triggers linked to the file via association "Has TR" are also updated. | ||||||||
Files which meet the given selection criteria and are not already connected to a Predict file object are then listed.
| Columns in the List | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Creator | Creator in Oracle. | ||||||
| Table/view name | Name of the table/view. | ||||||
| T |
|
||||||
| Doc. exists |
|
||||||
| Remark | Any of the following type-specific remarks or blank. For type-independent remarks see Remarks which apply to all Object Types. | ||||||
|
|||||||
The tables/views in the list can then be processed by entering a function code in the Cmd column. The functions T, C and I apply.
Valid functions:
Note:
Corresponding Oracle tables/views and Predict file objects of
type OT and OV are identified by Oracle table/view name.
Compares Oracle table/views and corresponding Predict file object. Differences between field lists and attributes of the tables/views are reported.
If no differences between the field lists are found and Connect automatic is set to Y, the Oracle tables/view and the Predict file object are connected.
Connects Oracle tables/views to Predict file object and
copies current information from the Oracle catalog to the dictionary object;
writes to the generation log of the Predict file object that a corresponding implemented table/view existed when the connection was established.
Oracle databases and tables/views a table/view is related to must be documented in Predict before the table/view can be incorporated. This function finds all objects that are not documented. These can then be incorporated before the table/view is incorporated.
One Predict file object is created for each table or view. The ID of the new file object consists of the creator name and Oracle name of the table or view joined by a hyphen.
One field object is created for each field in the table or view. The ID assigned to each new field object will be the name of the field in Oracle. For each view that is incorporated, the appropriate parts of the subselect specification in the SQL statement CREATE will be copied to the file and field objects created.
One Predict file object with file type IV (Intermediate view) is created for each subselect clause in the from clause of a view definition. For each column in the select list of subselect a Predict field object is created. For each intermediate view that is created, the appropriate parts of the subselect specification in the SQL statement CREATE will be copied to the file and field objects created.
One Predict field object (type SP) for each composite index, partitioning key and cluster column is created.
One Predict field object (type SP) for each composite foreign key is created if there is not already a Predict field object for a composite index built from the same columns.
One Predict relationship object is created for each foreign key.
A verification is added and linked to the corresponding field for each check constraint that is defined for one column.
Attributes of the corresponding file object are updated for each table check constraint (check expression for more than one column).
Specify the following parameters in an additional input screen before executing the function.

Command: INCORPORATE
ORACLE-TABLE
Enter parameters on the next line in positional or keyword form.
| Field | Keyword | Position |
|---|---|---|
| Table/View name | TABLE | 1 |
| Tables or Views | TYPE | 2 |
| Creator name | CREATOR | 3 |
| From DBID | DBNR | 4 |
| Incorporate comments | COMMENT | 5 |
| List incorporated code | LIST | 6 |
| Incorporate comments | ABSTRACT | 7 |
| Function | SUB-FUNCTION | 8 |
| Oracle Handler | SQL-SERVER | 9 |
| Connect automatic | AUTO-CONNECT | 10 |
| Update file attributes | UPD-FILE | 11 |
| Document as table | AS-TABLE | 12 |
Note:
The keyword ABSTRACT can be used as a synonym for
COMMENT.
If you explicitly set SQL-SERVER to blank in order to use the default server, another keyword must be specified after the SQL-SERVER keyword. If it is not possible to specify another keyword, the SQL-SERVER keyword must be followed by "D1=*" as shown below:
SQL-SERVER= ,D1=*
To incorporate the table "TDEPT", code the command:
INCORPORATE ORACLE-TABLE TABLE=TDEPT,TYPE=T,,,SUB-FUNCTION=I
or
INCORPORATE ORACLE-TABLE TDEPT,T,,,I
The example above uses the Natural parameters
ID=, and IA==.
