This chapter illustrates an example of a single database that captures changes to a table, reenqueues the captured changes into a queue, and then uses a DML handler during apply to insert a subset of the changes into a different table.
This chapter contains these topics:
The example in this chapter illustrates using Streams to capture and apply data manipulation language (DML) changes at a single database named cpap.net. Specifically, this example captures DML changes to the employees table in the hr schema, placing row logical change records (LCRs) into a queue named streams_queue. Next, an apply process dequeues these row LCRs from the same queue, reenqueues them into this queue, and sends them to a DML handler.
When the row LCRs are captured, they reside in the buffered queue and cannot be dequeued explicitly. After the row LCRs are reenqueued during apply, they are available for explicit dequeue by an application. This example does not create the application that dequeues these row LCRs.
This example illustrates a DML handler that inserts records of deleted employees into an emp_del table in the hr schema. This example assumes that the emp_del table is used to retain the records of all deleted employees. The DML handler is used to determine whether each row LCR contains a DELETE statement. When the DML handler finds a row LCR containing a DELETE statement, it converts the DELETE into an INSERT on the emp_del table and then inserts the row.
Figure 27-1 provides an overview of the environment.

The following prerequisites must be completed before you begin the example in this chapter.
Set the following initialization parameters to the values indicated for all databases in the environment:
Set the COMPATIBLE initialization parameter to 10.1.0 or higher.
STREAMS_POOL_SIZE: Optionally set this parameter to an appropriate value for each database in the environment. This parameter specifies the size of the Streams pool. The Streams pool stores messages in a buffered queue and is used for internal communications during parallel capture and apply. When the SGA_TARGET initialization parameter is set to a nonzero value, the Streams pool size is managed by Automatic Shared Memory Management.
See Also:
"Setting Initialization Parameters Relevant to Streams" for information about other initialization parameters that are important in a Streams environmentSet the database to run in ARCHIVELOG mode. Any database producing changes that will be captured must run in ARCHIVELOG mode.

ARCHIVELOG modeThis example creates a new user to function as the Streams administrator (strmadmin) and prompts you for the tablespace you want to use for this user's data. Before you start this example, either create a new tablespace or identify an existing tablespace for the Streams administrator to use. The Streams administrator should not use the SYSTEM tablespace.
Complete the following steps to create the hr.emp_del table, set up the Streams administrator, and create the queue.

Step 3 Set the Instantiation SCN for the hr.employees Table
Because this example captures and applies changes in a single database, no instantiation is necessary. However, the apply process at the cpap.net database still must be instructed to apply changes that were made to the hr.employees table after a specific system change number (SCN).
This example uses the GET_SYSTEM_CHANGE_NUMBER function in the DBMS_FLASHBACK package to obtain the current SCN for the database. This SCN is used to run the SET_TABLE_INSTANTIATION_SCN procedure in the DBMS_APPLY_ADM package.
The SET_TABLE_INSTANTIATION_SCN procedure controls which LCRs for a table are ignored by an apply process and which LCRs for a table are applied by an apply process. If the commit SCN of an LCR for a table from a source database is less than or equal to the instantiation SCN for that table at a destination database, then the apply process at the destination database discards the LCR. Otherwise, the apply process applies the LCR. In this example, the cpap.net database is both the source database and the destination database.
The apply process will apply transactions to the hr.employees table with SCNs that were committed after SCN obtained in this step.
Note:
Thehr.employees table also must be prepared for instantiation. This preparation was done automatically when the the capture process was configured with a rule to capture DML changes to the hr.employees table in Step 2.*/

Although the DML handler for the apply process causes deleted employees to be inserted into the emp_del table, this rule specifies the employees table, because the row LCRs in the queue contain changes to the employees table, not the emp_del table. When you run the ADD_TABLE_RULES procedure to create the apply process, the out parameter dml_rule_name contains the name of the DML rule created. This rule name is then passed to the SET_ENQUEUE_DESTINATION procedure.
The SET_ENQUEUE_DESTINATION procedure in the DBMS_APPLY_ADM package specifies that any apply process using the DML rule generated by ADD_TABLE_RULES will enqueue messages that satisfy this rule into streams_queue. In this case, the DML rule is for row LCRs with DML changes to the hr.employees table. A local queue other than the apply process queue can be specified if appropriate.

Complete the following steps to confirm that apply process is configured correctly, make DML changes to the hr.employees table, query for the resulting inserts into the hr.emp_del table and the reenqueued messages in the streams_queue_table, and dequeue the messages that were reenqueued by the DML handler.
Step 1 Confirm the Rule Action Context
Step 7 creates an apply process rule that specifies a destination queue into which LCRs that satisfy the rule are enqueued. In this case, LCRs that satisfy the rule are row LCRs with changes to the hr.employees table.
Complete the following steps to confirm that the rule specifies a destination queue:
Run the following query to determine the name of the rule for DML changes to the hr.employees table used by the apply process apply_emp:
CONNECT strmadmin/strmadminpw@cpap.net
SELECT RULE_OWNER, RULE_NAME FROM DBA_STREAMS_RULES
WHERE STREAMS_NAME = 'APPLY_EMP' AND
STREAMS_TYPE = 'APPLY' AND
SCHEMA_NAME = 'HR' AND
OBJECT_NAME = 'EMPLOYEES' AND
RULE_TYPE = 'DML'
ORDER BY RULE_NAME;
Your output looks similar to the following:
RULE_OWNER RULE_NAME ------------------------------ ------------------------------ STRMADMIN EMPLOYEES3
View the action context for the rule returned by the query in Step 1:
COLUMN RULE_OWNER HEADING 'Rule Owner' FORMAT A15 COLUMN DESTINATION_QUEUE_NAME HEADING 'Destination Queue' FORMAT A30 SELECT RULE_OWNER, DESTINATION_QUEUE_NAME FROM DBA_APPLY_ENQUEUE WHERE RULE_NAME = 'EMPLOYEES3' ORDER BY DESTINATION_QUEUE_NAME;
Make sure you substitute the rule name returned in Step 1 in the WHERE clause. Your output looks similar to the following:
Rule Owner Destination Queue --------------- ------------------------------ STRMADMIN "STRMADMIN"."STREAMS_QUEUE"
The output should show that LCRs that satisfy the apply process rule are enqueued into streams_queue.
Step 2 Perform an INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE on hr.employees
Make the following DML changes to the hr.employees table.
CONNECT hr/hr@cpap.net INSERT INTO hr.employees VALUES(207, 'JOHN', 'SMITH', 'JSMITH@MYCOMPANY.COM', NULL, '07-JUN-94', 'AC_ACCOUNT', 777, NULL, NULL, 110); COMMIT; UPDATE hr.employees SET salary=5999 WHERE employee_id=206; COMMIT; DELETE FROM hr.employees WHERE employee_id=207; COMMIT;
Step 3 Query the hr.emp_del Table and the streams_queue_table
After some time passes to allow for capture and apply of the changes performed in the previous step, run the following queries to see the results:
CONNECT strmadmin/strmadminpw@cpap.net SELECT employee_id, first_name, last_name, timestamp FROM hr.emp_del ORDER BY employee_id; SELECT MSG_ID, MSG_STATE, CONSUMER_NAME FROM AQ$STREAMS_QUEUE_TABLE ORDER BY MSG_ID;
When you run the first query, you should see a record for the employee with an employee_id of 207. This employee was deleted in the previous step. When you run the second query, you should see the reenqueued messages resulting from all of the changes in the previous step, and the MSG_STATE should be READY for these messages.
Step 4 Dequeue Messages Reenqueued by the DML Handler
Use the emp_dq procedure to dequeue the messages that were reenqueued by the DML handler.
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON SIZE 100000
EXEC emp_dq('HR');
For each row changed by a DML statement, one line is returned, and each line states the command type of the change (either INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE). If you repeat the query on the queue table in Step 3 after the messages are dequeued, then the dequeued messages should have been consumed. That is, either the MSG_STATE should be PROCESSED for these messages, or the messages should no longer be in the queue.
SELECT MSG_ID, MSG_STATE, CONSUMER_NAME FROM AQ$STREAMS_QUEUE_TABLE ORDER BY MSG_ID;
