AW_COPY Procedure

The AW_COPY procedure copies the object definitions and data from one analytic workspace into a new analytic workspace.

AW_COPY detaches the original workspace and attaches the new workspace first with read/write access.

Note:

You cannot execute this procedure from within the OLAP Worksheet. You must execute if in a SQL tool such as SQL*Plus.

AW_COPY ( 
          oldname         IN VARCHAR2,
          newname         IN VARCHAR2,

Parameters

Table B-12 AW_COPY Procedure Parameters

Parameter	Description
`oldname`	The name of an existing analytic workspace that contains object definitions. The workspace cannot be empty.
`newname`	A name for the new analytic workspace that is a copy of oldname.
`tablespace`	The name of a tablespace in which newname will be stored. If this parameter is omitted, then the analytic workspace is created in the user's default tablespace.
`partnum`	The number of partitions that will be created for the `AW$`newname table.

Example

The following commands create a new analytic workspace named GLOBAL_TRACKING and copies the contents of GLOBAL into it. The workspace is stored in a table named AW$GLOBAL_TRACKING, which has three partitions and is stored in the user's default tablespace.

EXECUTE dbms_aw.aw_attach('global');
EXECUTE dbms_aw.aw_copy('global', 'global_tracking', NULL, 3);
