ALTER SYSTEM

This statement is the syntax for managing system-wide resources or changing settings.

KILL SESSION

alter_system_kill_session_stmt:

alter_system_kill_session_stmt: 'ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION' number

Terminates a specific session with a SessionID.

However, only the SYS user can execute this statement and can not KILL their own session.

CANCEL SESSION

alter_system_cancel_session_stmt:

alter_system_cancel_session_stmt ::= 'ALTER SYSTEM CANCEL SESSION' number

Cancels a specific session with a SessionID.

Rather than disconnecting the connection, it cancels the action being performed and returns an error code to the user that the action was aborted. However, like KILL, you can not cancel your own connected sessions.

CHECK DISK_USAGE

alter_system_check_disk_stmt:

alter_system_check_disk_stmt ::= 'ALTER SYSTEM CHECK DISK_USAGE'

Corrects the value of DC_TABLE_FILE_SIZE, which indicates the disk usage of the log table in V$STORAGE.

Disk usage may be inaccurate when process failures or power failures occur. This command reads the correct value from the file system. However, it should be avoided because it can put a considerable load on the file system.

INSTALL LICENSE

alter_system_install_license_stmt:

alter_system_install_license_stmt ::= 'ALTER SYSTEM INSTALL LICENSE'

Installs the license file in the default location of the license file ($MACHBASE_HOME/conf/license.dat).

It is installed after determining whether the license is suitable for installation.

INSTALL LICENSE (PATH)

alter_system_install_license_path_stmt:

alter_system_install_license_path_stmt: ::= 'ALTER SYSTEM INSTALL LICENSE' '=' "'" path "'"

Installs the license file in a specific location.

An error occurs when you enter a license file that does not exist at that location or is incorrect. The path must be an absolute path. It is installed after determining whether the license is suitable for installation.

SET

Support this after 5.7 version

alter_system_set_stmt:

alter_system_set_stmt ::= 'ALTER SYSTEM SET' prop_name '=' value

Can modify system property as follows.

QUERY_PARALLEL_FACTOR
DEFAULT_DATE_FORMAT
TRACE_LOG_LEVEL
PAGE_CACHE_MAX_SIZE

Index

ALTER SESSION

This is the syntax for managing resources or changing settings on a per-session basis.

SET SQL_LOGGING

alter_session_sql_logging_stmt:

alter_session_sql_logging_stmt ::= 'ALTER SESSION SET SQL_LOGGING' '=' flag

Determines whether to leave a message in the Trace Log of the session.

You can use this message as a Bit Flag with the following values:

0x1: Parsing, Validation, Optimization.
0x2: It leaves the result of performing DDL.

That is, when the value of the corresponding flag is 2, only the DDL is logged, and when the flag is 3, the error and DDL are logged together.
Below is an example of changing the logging flag of the session and leaving error logging.

Mach> alter session set SQL_LOGGING=1;
Altered successfully.
Mach> exit

SET DEFAULT_DATE_FORMAT

alter_session_set_defalut_dateformat_stmt:

alter_session_set_defalut_dateformat_stmt ::= 'ALTER SESSION SET DEFAULT_DATE_FORMAT' '=' date_format

Sets the default format for Datetime data types for this session.

When the server is started, the property DEFAULT_DATE_FORMAT is set to the session attribute.
If the property of the property has not changed, the value of the session will also be "YYYY-MM-DD HH24: MI: SS mmm: uuu: nnn".
Use this command to modify the default format of a datetime datatype for a specific user, regardless of the system.
V$session has a default date format set for each session and can be checked. Below is an example of checking and changing the value of the session.

Mach> CREATE TABLE time_table (time datetime);
Created successfully.

Mach> SELECT DEFAULT_DATE_FORMAT from v$session;
default_date_format                                                               
-----------------------------------------------
YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS mmm:uuu:nnn                                                 
[1] row(s) selected.

Mach> INSERT INTO time_table VALUES(TO_DATE('2016-11-11'));
[ERR-00300 : Invalid date format or input string.([2016-11-11]:[%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %0:%1:%2])]

Mach> ALTER SESSION SET DEFAULT_DATE_FORMAT='YYYY-MM-DD';
Altered successfully.

Mach> SELECT DEFAULT_DATE_FORMAT from v$session;

default_date_format                                                               
----------------------------------------------
YYYY-MM-DD                                                                        
[1] row(s) selected.

Mach> INSERT INTO time_table VALUES(TO_DATE('2016-11-11'));
1 row(s) inserted.

Mach> SELECT * FROM time_table;

TIME                               
----------------------------------
2016-11-11

[1] row(s) selected.

SET SHOW_HIDDEN_COLS

alter_session_set_hidden_column_stmt:

alter_session_set_hidden_column_stmt ::= 'ALTER SESSION SET SHOW_HIDDEN_COLS' '=' ( '0' | '1' )

Decides whether to output the hidden column (_arrival_time) in the column represented by * when executing the select of the session.

When the server is started, the value of the global property SHOW_HIDDEN_COLS is set to 0 for the session attribute.
If you want to change the default behavior of your session, you can set this value to 1.
V$session has a SHOW_HIDDEN_COLS value set for each session.

Mach> SELECT * FROM  v$session;
ID                   CLOSED      USER_ID     LOGIN_TIME                      SQL_LOGGING SHOW_HIDDEN_COLS

SET FEEDBACK_APPEND_ERROR

alter_session_set_feedback_append_err_stmt:

alter_session_set_feedback_append_err_stmt ::= 'ALTER SESSION SET FEEDBACK_APPEND_ERROR' '=' ( '0' | '1' )

Sets whether to send the session's Append error message to the client program.

Use the following values for the error message.

0 = Do not send an error message.
1 = Send an error message.

Below is an example of use.

mach> ALTER SESSION SET FEEDBACK_APPEND_ERROR=0;
Altered successfully.

SET HASH_BUCKET_SIZE

alter_session_set_hash_bucket_size_stmt:

alter_session_set_hash_bucket_size_stmt ::= 'ALTER SESSION SET HASH_BUCKET_SIZE' '=' value

Sets the size of the hash table used to perform the GROUP BY or Distinct operation of the session.

If this value is set too large, memory usage will be heavy for each Hash operation. If too small, Hash bucket conflict will occur and query performance may be degraded.
It is recommended to specify the number of whole groups * 1.5 to 3.0.

Mach> ALTER SESSION SET HASH_BUCKET_SIZE=65536;
Altered successfully.

Mach> SELECT * FROM v$session;
_ARRIVAL_TIME                   ID                   CLOSED      USER_ID     LOGIN_TIME                      SQL_LOGGING

[1] row(s) selected.

SET MAX_QPX_MEM

alter_session_set_max_qpx_mem_stmt:

alter_session_set_max_qpx_mem_stmt ::= 'ALTER SESSION SET MAX_QPX_MEM' '=' value

Specifies the maximum amount of memory that a single SQL statement in the session will use when performing GROUP BY, DISTINCT, ORDER BY operations.

If you try to allocate more memory than the maximum memory, the system cancels the execution of the SQL statement and treats it as an error.
In case of error, record the error code and error message in machbase.trc including the query.

Mach> ALTER SESSION SET MAX_QPX_MEM=1073741824;
Altered successfully.

Mach> SELECT * FROM v$session;
ID                   CLOSED      USER_ID     LOGIN_TIME                      SQL_LOGGING SHOW_HIDDEN_COLS FEEDBACK_APPEND_ERROR
