Description

Prepares working table names that are necessary to run sparsification for a property graph edge table.

Parameters

edge_tab_name

Name of the property graph edge table (GE$).

wt_out_tab

A working table to hold the output, a sparsified graph.

wt_und_tab

A working table to hold the undirected version of the original graph.

wt_hsh_tab

A working table to hold the min hash values of the graph.

wt_mch_tab

A working table to hold the matching count of min hash values.

options

Additional settings for operation. An optional string with one or more (comma-separated) of the following values:

• 'INMEMORY=T' is an option for creating the schema tables with an 'inmemory' clause.

• 'IMC_MC_B=T' creates the schema tables with an INMEMORY MEMCOMPRESS BASIC clause.

Usage Notes

The sparsification algorithm used is a min hash based local sparsification. See "Local graph sparsification for scalable clustering", Proceedings of the 2011 ACM SIGMOD International Conference on Management of Data: https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/~tozsu/courses/CS848/W15/presentations/ElbagouryPresentation-2.pdf

Examples

The following example does the preparation work for the edges table of mypg and prints out the working table names.

set serveroutput on

DECLARE
  my_lean_pg  varchar2(100) := 'lean_pg';
  wt2 varchar2(100);
  wt3 varchar2(100);
  wt4 varchar2(100);
BEGIN
  opg_apis.sparsify_graph_prep('mypgGE$', my_lean_pg, wt2, wt3, wt4, null);
  dbms_output.put_line('wt2 ' || wt2 || ', wt3 ' || wt3 || ', wt4 '|| wt4);
END;
/

The output may be similar to the following.

wt2 "MYPGGE$$TWSPAU275", wt3 "MYPGGE$$TWSPAH275", wt4 "MYPGGE$$TWSPAM275"
