To check, a table is used in a job
Hi,
I have a list of jobs scheduled in unix. I want to check whether a particular view or table is used in a job. If they are not used, I can make changes to them.


Thanks,
Raaga

While want you want is possible, we need a lot more information.

Generally if the changes you are making to tables would interfere with normal processing, then what you are doing is probably violating some of the constraints of the schema. Otherwise a db's primary design goal is to have lots of simultaneous users against one table. Either way I don't understand your requirement.

@Jim

Actually there are lot of jobs scheduled using crontab which runs on daily basis.
Those jobs used to update some tables, drop tables etc. Suppose I have a table named 'Details' , I need to check whether that table is used by any of the jobs. If the table 'Details' is not used by any of the jobs, I can drop that table or make some changes , so that it will not affect the jobs. So, I have to write a shell script to check this condition and find the list of tables and views, not being used in any of the jobs.
