Have a batch job written in Java which truncates and then loads certain table in Oracle database every few minutes. There are reports generated on web pages based on the data in the table. Am wondering of a good way of not affecting the report querying part when the data loading process is happeneing so that the users won’t end up with some and/or no data.
If you process all your SQL statements inside a single transaction there will be always a valid state seen from outside. Beware that TRUNCATE doe not work in transactions, so you have to use DELETE. While this guarantees to always have reasonable data in your table it needs a bigger rollback segment and will be considerably slower.
