RE: Drilling down on the data

Thanks mark for your concern regarding the thread, my mistake as I have deleted the content in it..

Will take care of this issue in future ..

Now coming to the design..
1.. When a batch passes through a observation, certain characteristics are observed and the batch name is changed after the observation ( this is how the system is ) these observation are called tests..

So suppose in the first observation table I am observing 2 characteristics Mean Position and Fitness..

After this test it will go to a different observation, and will be observed for 3 other characteristics which have no resembalence with the observations recorded in the first table... that is why I can not go for a single table which will observe all the tests.. in one test I have 18 characteristics to observe and record

The data and the results:
batch_data

 batch_id          parent_id      batch_No        
1                        Null                 B234
2                           1                  B345
3                            2                 C567

in these tables batch_id references the batch_data(batch_id)

Now the observations ( are facts)

     
      batch_id          prc_stg_id              setup_id          Day_Time       MPS_value        finess_value
            1                     1                                              01/02/04         15                       23

Observation2
 batch_id        prc_stg_id         setup_id            Day_Time        pss_x10        pss_x50         pss_x90             
   2                        2                                               03/04/04     99.9              99.6               99.4

Now the results wanted is
for the batch 2 what was the test perform and the results like

Batch Observation value level ( level from the hierarchy 1 is parent)

2        pss_x10        99.9    2
2        pss_x50        99.6    2
1        MPS_Value  15       1
1        finess_value   23       1

As I have stated earlier there is no relationship in the observations so they are different 'facts' and the batch is working as a 'confirmed' dimension. one fact table may have millions of records.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Sanjay,
First, it works a lot better if you initiate a new thread (by sending mail to oracle-l_at_freelists.org) rather than to respond to an existing thread that has nothing to do with your question. At least you changed the subject, so people won't be too confused. (Especially those w/ threading mail programs.)

Anyhow, enough about that.

As to your design....well, I'm afraid it's in bad shape. That is, if I understand what it is you want to do. You mention a table, PRODUCT_BATCH, with BATCH_NO, PARENT_BATCH, ATTR1, and ATTR2. Then you have three observation tables, OBERVATION1, OBSERVATION2, and OBSERVATION3. Each of them has a column BATCH. Is this the same as BATCH_NO in PRODUCT_BATCH? I'm assuming it is. The other columns in the observation tables, are they all labeled correctly? Specifically, should OBSERVATION2 and OBSERVATION3 both have columns OBS3 and OBS4?

Finally, you talk about "tests performed on a batch", but I see no reference to anything called "test" in the sample data you show.

So, I'm a little confused as to your data model and what you're really trying to accomplish here.

However, assuming that the observation tables contain the output of the "test", and there's no way to determine what batch is in what table, here are a couple of possibilities I see right off:

1.) Union together the results of querying each of the observation tables. That way, you'll find the row you're looking for, regardless of which table it's in.

2.) Seriously reconsider your design.
  a.) Why are there multiple observation tables? One

        ought to be enough, even for fairly high concurrency,
        if you consider FREELISTS, INITRANS, and how many
        rows you'll have per block.
  b.)  You could partition the table, each operation type could
        go into it's own partition.

Deciding whch of 2a or 2b to go with is going to depend on your appliacation, and how it works.

I don't recommend 1, except as a stop gap measure, because it's not a very nice design.....

I hope that helps. If you still have more questions or concerns, please provide a test case. (Working table creates, small set of test data, and what the sqmple query output you're trying to achieve should look like.)
