Get Installation Sequence of Oracle Objects - plsql

Question

Ok, I have a complex recursion problem. I want to get a dependecy installation sequence of all of my objcts (all_objects table) in my Oracle 11g database.
First I have created a view holding all dependencies
create or replace
view REALLY_ALL_DEPENDENCIES as
select *
from ALL_DEPENDENCIES
union
select owner, index_name, 'INDEX', table_owner, table_name, table_type, null, null
from all_indexes
union
select p.owner, p.table_name, 'TABLE', f.owner, f.table_name, 'TABLE', null, null
from all_constraints p
join all_constraints f
on F.R_CONSTRAINT_NAME = P.CONSTRAINT_NAME
and F.CONSTRAINT_TYPE = 'R'
and p.constraint_type='P'
;
/
EDIT
I have tried do concate all dependencies by using this function:
create
or replace
function dependency(
i_name varchar2
,i_type varchar2
,i_owner varchar2
,i_level number := 0
,i_token clob := ' ') return clob
is
l_token clob := i_token;
l_exist number := 0;
begin
select count(*) into l_exist
from all_objects
where object_name = i_name
and object_type = i_type
and owner = i_owner;
if l_exist > 0 then
l_token := l_token || ';' || i_level || ';' ||
i_name || ':' || i_type || ':' || i_owner;
else
-- if not exist function recursion is finished
return l_token;
end if;
for tupl in (
select distinct
referenced_name
,referenced_type
,referenced_owner
from REALLY_ALL_DEPENDENCIES
where name = i_name
and type = i_type
and owner = i_owner
)
loop
-- if cyclic dependency stop and shout!
if i_token like '%' || tupl.referenced_name || ':' || tupl.referenced_type || ':' || tupl.referenced_owner || '%' then
select count(*) into l_exist
from REALLY_ALL_DEPENDENCIES
where name = tupl.referenced_name
and type = tupl.referenced_type
and owner = tupl.referenced_owner;
if l_exist > 0 then
return '!!!CYCLIC!!! (' || i_level || ';' || tupl.referenced_name || ':' || tupl.referenced_type || ':' || tupl.referenced_owner || '):' || l_token;
end if;
end if;
-- go into recursion
l_token := dependency(
tupl.referenced_name
,tupl.referenced_type
,i_owner /* I just want my own sources */
,i_level +1
,l_token);
end loop;
-- no cyclic condition and loop is finished
return l_token;
end;
/
And I can query through
select
object_name
,object_type
,owner
,to_char(dependency(object_name, object_type, owner)) as dependecy
from all_objects
where owner = 'SYSTEM'
;
Ok, maybe it is something like "cheating" but you can not do cyclic dependencies at creation time. So at least as a human beeing I am only able to create one object after another :-) And this sequence should be "reverse engineer able".
Now I am more interested in a solution than before ;-) And it is still about the tricky part ... "How can I select all soures from a schema orderd by its installation sequence (dependent objects list prior the using object)"?
It is just some kind of sorting problem, insn't it?

Answer 1

Usually you "cheat" by creating the objects in a particular order. For example, you might make sequences first (they have zero dependencies). Then you might do tables. After that, package specs, then package bodies, and so on.
Keep in mind that it is possible to have cyclic dependencies between packages, so there are cases where it will be impossible to satisfy all dependencies at creation anyway.
What's the business case here? Is there a real "problem" or just an exercise?
EDIT
The export tool we use exports objects in the following order:
Database Links
Sequences
Types
Tables
Views
Primary Keys
Indexes
Foreign Keys
Constraints
Triggers
Materialized Views
Materialized View Logs
Package Specs
Package Bodies
Procedures
Functions
At the end, we run the dbms_utility.compile_schema procedure to make sure everything is valid and no dependencies are missed. If you use other object types than these, I'm not sure where they'd go in this sequence.

Answer 2

Ok, I had some time to look at the job again and I want to share the results. Maybe anotherone comes across this thread searching for a solution. First of all I did the SQLs as SYS but I think you can do it in every schema using public synonyms.
The Procedure "exec obj_install_seq.make_install('SCOTT');" makes a clob containing a sql+ compatible sql file, assuming your sources are called "object_name.object_type.sql". Just spool it out.
