Some frequently used queries for oracle apps developers

Get all the views that refer a particular table:

SELECT o.object_name, o.status, o.last_ddl_time
  FROM SYS.dba_objects o
 WHERE o.object_type = 'VIEW'
   AND EXISTS (
              SELECT 'x'
                   FROM SYS.dba_dependencies d
           WHERE d.referenced_type = 'TABLE'
                 AND d.TYPE = 'VIEW'
                    AND d.owner = 'APPS'
             AND d.NAME = o.object_name
                 AND d.referenced_name LIKE '<TABLE_NAME>');


Get all the tables with the column name:
SELECT
  TABLE_NAME
FROM
  all_tab_columns
WHERE
  column_name = '<COLUMN_NAME>'

Get SQL help from the Data base itself:
If you need any syntax of a sql command or its details, you don’t need to search for it in google. what you just need to do is use the below sql command from the data base

In iSQL*Plus, click the Help button to display iSQL*Plus help. Or Use the below command line help system. In some DB system schema may not be available, then use sys.help instead.

select *
from   system.help
where  upper(topic)=upper('string')

Find from which responsibility a concurrent program can be run:
SELECT distinct

FROM
  fnd_concurrent_programs_tl a,
  fnd_request_groups b,
  fnd_request_group_units c,

Find all running concurrent requests with their run times:
The below query is useful for analyzing concurrent program run times and identifying their performance

select request_id,
         fcpt.user_concurrent_program_name,
         completion_text,

How to find the Trace file generated for a concurrent program
Check out the following blog post for enabling the trace file for a concurrent program.
You can use the following query to locate the trace file, it takes as input the ' Concurrent Request id'

SELECT
'Request id: '||request_id , 
'Trace id: '||oracle_Process_id,
'Trace Flag: '||req.enable_trace,
'Trace Name: '||dest.value||'/'||lower(dbnm.value)||'_ora_'||oracle_process_id||'.trc',
'File Name: '||execname.execution_file_name|| execname.subroutine_name ,
'Status : '||decode(phase_code,'R','Running') ||'-'||decode(status_code,'R','Normal'), 
'SID Serial: '||ses.sid||','|| ses.serial#, 'Module : '||ses.module
from
fnd_concurrent_requests req, 
v$session ses,
v$process proc, 
v$parameter dest, 
v$parameter dbnm,
fnd_concurrent_programs_vl prog, 
fnd_executables execname where req.request_id = &request 
and req.oracle_process_id=proc.spid(+) 
and proc.addr = ses.paddr(+) 
and dest.name='user_dump_dest' 
and dbnm.name='db_name'
and req.concurrent_program_id = prog.concurrent_program_id 
and req.program_application_id = prog.application_id 
and prog.application_id = execname.application_id 
and prog.executable_id=execname.executable_id;

The output would be 'directory'/'filename.trc'
eg: 'directory'/ora_3465_act.trc.

In the above directory, do 'ls -l' for '*3465*trc' and any latest file that you see with 3465 as a part of the file name would be the trace file.

Removing Table Lock
Login to database as SYS or SYSTEM user. Find out the SESSION_ID by running the following SELECT statement 
SELECT SESSION_ID 
FROM DBA_DML_LOCKS 
WHERE NAME = Table Name;

Use this session id to find SERIAL# by using following SELECT statment 
SELECT SID,SERIAL# 
FROM V$SESSION 
WHERE SID IN (SELECT SESSION_ID 
FROM DBA_DML_LOCKS 
WHERE NAME = Table Name)

Use ALTER SYSTEM command to KILL SESSION and this will release the lock. 
ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION 'SID,SERIALl#';

This script will report the SQL text of some of the locks currently being held in the database
select s.username username, 
       a.sid sid, 
       a.owner||'.'||a.object object, 
       s.lockwait, 
       t.sql_text SQL
from   v$sqltext t, 
       v$session s, 
       v$access a
where  t.address=s.sql_address 
and    t.hash_value=s.sql_hash_value 
and    s.sid = a.sid 
and    a.owner != 'SYS'
and    upper(substr(a.object,1,2)) != 'V$'

Script to check Responsibilities assigned to a particular user or users assigned for particular responsibility or all users and their responsibilities:

fnd_user_resp_groups fur,
fnd_responsibility_vl fr
