Introduction

• Bioinformatics
• In Silico
• Large Database
• DNA Sequence
• Using CLOB
• Using Partition Tables

4
NISC Database Environment

• NIH Intramural Sequencing Center
• Established in 1997
• A multi-disciplinary genomics facility
• Large-scale DNA sequencing
• Applied Biosystems (ABI) DNA Analyzers
• Produce 10,000 DNA sequences per day

5
NISC Pipeline

• The Laboratory Information Management System
  (LIMS).
• Move the sequencing data from each PC to a
  partition (/area1) on our main Unix Server.
• A Perl script is then running to validate the
  trace name and run folder name, and also check
  for duplicates. Then, moved to another partition
  (/area2).
• Phred is run on each trace file to get rid of the
  low quality bases at the beginning and end of
  each read.

6
NISC Pipeline

• Vector Screening is then performed on each read,
  and masked out where the vector is.
• Contaminant Checking is to use BLAST to screen
  any contaminants. The information about
  contamination is then stored in the database.
• QC Report is generated to show the quality and
  other information.

7
Why CLOB?

• To store DNA sequences
• Combination of ACGT character strings
• The length can be more or less than 4KB

8
LOBs vs. Long/Long Raw
9
A Simple Create Table Statement

• CREATE TABLE dna_sequence1
• (base_id NUMBER(6),
• base_sequence CLOB)
• TABLESPACE example

10
Specify the Segment Name, and LOB Storage

• CREATE TABLE dna_sequence2
• (base_id NUMBER(6),
• base_sequence CLOB)
• LOB (base_sequence) STORE AS
• dna_seq_lob
• (TABLESPACE lob_seg_ts)
• TABLESPACE example

11
Specify the Index Name and Index Storage

• CREATE TABLE dna_sequence3
• (base_id NUMBER(6),
• base_sequence CLOB)
• LOB (base_sequence) STORE AS
• dna_seq_lob1
• (TABLESPACE lob_seg_ts
• INDEX dna_seq_clob_idx (
• TABLESPACE nisc_index))
• TABLESPACE example

12
Check Segment and Index Name

• SELECT table_name, column_name,
  segment_name, index_name
• FROM user_lobs
• TABLE_NAME COLUMN_NAME SEGMENT_NAME
  INDEX_NAME

15
CLOB Usage

• Table structure

  sequence
• The length of both fields varies between a few
  hundred to up to 6 thousand characters

30
Lob Usage Limitation

• Not in the ORDER BY, or GROUP BY or in an
  aggregate function.
• Not in a SELECT... DISTINCT or SELECT... UNIQUE
  statement or in a join.
• Not in ANALYZE... COMPUTE or ANALYZE... ESTIMATE
  statements.
• Not as a primary key column.
• Not select a LOB column through dblink.
  ORA-22992 cannot use LOB locators selected from
  remote tables.

31

• Partitioning and Its
• Usage Scenarios at NISC

32
Partition Method

• Range Partitioning, introduced in Oracle 8.
• Hash Partitioning, introduced in 8i.
• List Partitioning, introduced in 9i release 1.
• Composite Partitioning. The range-hash partition
  was introduced in 8i, and the range-list
  partition was introduced in 9i release 2.
• This is a good example how Oracle adds
  functionalities to the new release.

33
Benefit of Partitioning

• The amount of time for each operation can be
  significantly reduced because of the small
  segment.
• Improve query performance. The I/O will be
  balanced among disks.
• Reduce the downtime.
• Part of the table can be put to read only mode.
• Easy to implement.

34
When to Partition

• When table becomes large. 2GB is considered as a
  general guideline.
• When the data is kind of adding on, meaning new
  data will go to the new partition.

35
Work with Range Partition

• Create table with range partitioning.
• Convert a non-partition table to a partition
  table.
• Merge/split partition.
• Tablespace usage with partition.
• Maintain range partition.

36
Partitioning Usage Examples

• Create tablespace

• Add partition
• Drop partition
• Exchange partition
• Move partition
• Merge partition
• Split partition
• Truncate partition
• Rename partition

37
Create Partitioned Table

• PARTITION BY RANGE (BASE_ID)
• (partition dna_sequence1 values less than (100)
  tablespace dna_sequence_p1,
• partition dna_sequence2 values less than (200)
  tablespace dna_sequence_p2,
• partition dna_sequence3 values less than (300)
  tablespace dna_sequence_p3)

46
Conclusion

• By proper use of the Oracle features such as
  CLOB, and partitioning table, it becomes a lot
  easier to manage the database containing large
  amounts of biological data.

47
Major Benefits using CLOB and Partitioning at NISC

• Space Savings Proper use of CLOB
• Better performance Put big tables into smaller
  segments
• Better Maintenance Easier backup and recovery
  Less down time
