Changing Tablename changes on-the-fly? [message #1063235] Wed, 12 June 2013 14:53 Go to next message

We have a reporting detail table that, due to performance concerns, we are considering refactoring to produce a new instance of the table for each individual report. The table names would end with "_<report_id>" e.g. details_1, details_2, etc

This is an Oracle 11g SE with no option to switch to Enterprise, nor to change to a different database with partitioning; the reason for the consideration is that as the table gets large and/or stale rows are deleted, the performance gets terrible.

One thing stopping us is that our Eclipselink entity has the @Table attribute.

Eclipselink 2.4.1
Glassfish 3.1
Eclipselink access is being made in web services in GF.

We also would have multiple user at once, so any solution would have to be entirely session-based.

I would like to know if, and how, we could change the table name for the entity on-the-fly (at startup is not an option because new reports can happen all the time)?


Thank you for your time.

You have a few options:
- Encapsulate access to the table through stored procedures or a view that direct to the correct table, you can override EclipseLink CRUD queries using stored procedures.
- Use native SQL queries to access the table.
- You could investigate EclipseLink dynamic Entity feature to try an define new classes/descriptors at runtime to map to new tables.

Hi James,

Thank you for the thoughts, and apologies for the late thank you. My focus was shifted and completely forgot about this post until we came back to the issue.

Unfortunately, dynamic will not work, as (from my testing at least) the dynamic switch was only performed at startup, and not every call as desired. Please correct me if my results were mistaken.

However, the other two suggestions have given us some ideas, and I very much appreciate it!
