Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: Delete from a queue table?
Hi Robert,
The direct deletion from the table is unsupported from Oracle, but the strange thing is that Oracle method to get rid of messages is very simple based on the background process removing them on the time bases (or maybe something else that I cannot remember now).
I am removing them directly with delete without problems when needed. Possible problem can arise if somebody is using it at the moment, then you will cause some strange exceptions to the app. I have never experienced a big problem by deleting them directly.
Now the coneptual question is:
- why do you need to delete the message at all in your
case, you can read the message and enqueue it again.
What is the problem of having 2 same messages
in the different point in time for the history reason.
What you want is to change the history :)
Then you can delete them automatically based on some interval (1 year or whatever).
It is better to design it that you do not need manual
interventions on the queue. Bear in mind that you have
many options by using exception queues, multiple
consumers (all need to read the message to be
dequeued), ...
The only case I am not sure how to be covered is:
you want your queue to not be crazy big to be in
memory for performance reason, but you need the
history for many years.
Do not know the Oracle story how to keep the history
from the queue table except by manual method where you
are reading the messages then putting them into
another history table.
I suppose insert from select from the queue table will
be much faster.

Zoran
