Whitepapers

The Test Database Generation and Management Whitepaper
This paper examines the many issues associated with the creation of referentially correct subset databases. This paper is primarily a generic survey of the technical aspects involved in the creation of subset databases although there is some discussion towards the end of the document regarding how the DataBee software addresses these issues.

Technical Notes

Handling ORA-01436 CONNECT BY PRIOR_Errors
Sometimes the data in self-referential relationships simply will not support a CONNECT BY PRIOR join. This technical note describes the cause of the ORA-01436: CONNECT BY loop in user data error and how to configure the DataBee software to handle this situation.
Resetting Sequences On Load
After the referentially correct subset data has been loaded into the target schema some implementations require the sequences to be reset. This technical note describes how to reset a sequence in the database to a value one greater than the maximum value of the contents of a specified tables column.
