We're trying to export data from some large tables, like transactions.
Basically the Object model doesn't work for dozens of reasons so we have to use the RunAnalyticsReport API call to call a report we've written in the application to retrieve the data.
Unfortunately we're running into major problems with some of the tables. For example, "Transactions"...
It doesn't have a unique Key or Single index for us to sort on.
We can sort on date, but that's not unique at all.
The API's row limit is 10,000
But we have no way to limit the report itself to 10,000 records because there is no unique id.
We can limit it by date, but we have no idea what date range to use.
I've tried a number of ways to limit the report using "Record Limit" but this isn't a record limit at all. The function seems almost useless as it retrieves the data and then just truncates what was returned. So if you run a query that exceeds the reports limit, it errors out.
Does anyone know how to put a true "limit" on a report?
Does anyone know how to iterate through these large tables that don't have unique fields?
Yes, we've asked to have a unique field added, Oracle wont do it.
