Application Express :: How To Insert Contents Of CSV File In Table
Sep 16, 2013
I'm starting with APEX, I would like to know how to insert the contents of a file. Csv in a table, how to map a file to a table, how to insert file contents. Xls in a table.
I just need to run javascript to capture the contents of the page( form) like labels and values in the fields using a COPY button to capture all the information available on the page or form to copy that to system clipboard so that information can be used into another system.
Let me explain, I have two items in my page, the first is not required, if it is null the second field is a value list based on selection A (select from A. .. A. .. where . A..) but if the field is not null then the list of values of the second field is based on the selection B (Select B from B where B. ..).
I create a dynamic action on the event "change" of my first field, on the "true action" I tried this:
My scenario is I need to insert into History table when a record is been updated into a tabular form(insert the updated record along with the additional columns Action_by,Action_type(Like Update or delete) and Action Date Into History table i.e History table contains all the records as the main table which is been visible in tabular form along with these additional columns ...Action_by,action_type and action_date.
So now i dont want to create a befor/after update trigger on base table rather i would like to create a generic procedure which will insert the updated record into history table taking the page alias and pade ID as the parameters(GENERIC procedure is nothing but whcih applies to all the tabular forms(Tables) contained int he application ).
i have a table say 'temp' with 4 columns as seq, name, event, id and i have a pg with 3 text fields as name, event, id now ma issue is,if i enter values into those 3 text fields in that page and on a button click (say create), i wanted dose values to get inserted into 'temp' table andregarding , 'seq' column i hav created a sequence for it. so
1. how to insert values into the table by entering values in the page
2. wat shd b done for seq column.. (shd anyth b done from apex pages or wil it automatically get values for each row entered)
What would cause Oracle to insert duplicate rows into a table? Could a join of two tables in the initial query assigned to an application page cause ORacle to insert an extra row into a table when an update to data value occurs? I have no insert triggers and no foreign keys assigned to the table. I am not sure what would cause Oracle to assume that an insert of a row must occur. I want to prevent that insert.
I'm trying to upload a xml file into a table but I don't know which separator do I have to select to show the columns well. I does not recognize the columns.
Not able to understand what's wrong with the code. I am trying to import data to a table using a CSV file. I have exported the data (CSV) from the interactive report and I am just trying to insert the same data to the table, through a process. When, I tried to do so; its throwing an error message saying NO_DATA_FOUND and file is not getting inserted into wwv_flow_files table.
But when I removed the data from the CSV file for the comments field and then tried importing the file, the process worked. I don't understand whats the problem with the code.
I have a sample app setup in my workspace for this weird problem.

Workspace details:
CSV file with comments field and data in it - when trying to import - throws an error message NO_DATA_FOUND
CSV file with comments field and without data in it - tried importing - this worked
I needed to create a page on my existing APEX application that would allow the user to upload a file, I followed an online tutorial where the user had created a dummy table and inserted CSV File inserted through APEX into the table. Following that simple example I am able to load the simple CSV file (from tutorial) into a dummy table (from tutorial) but when I attempt to insert actual/dummy data into my actual database (which has a lot more fields of different types), using the exact same process, I am unable to do so.
Ironically, I am unable to insert even dummy values despite the fact that I have been able to insert the same dummy values using SQL Developer. Icing on the cake is that APEX does not produce any error, this lack of debugging feature (especially line by line debugging) is such a pain. Just to add, I can load the values into an Array and can successfully print the delimited values off the array but am still unable to insert the same values into my table. Here is the table that I am attempting to insert into (actual names replaced by Dummyxx):
Note that all the the CSV does not contain all the fields, the CSV files that are expected to be entered into the system contain 65 Fields whereas the Table has 73 Fields. Also note that the process runs fine through SQL loader that is invoked through a different server which I need to release and hence the attempt to load the table this way. Also, the procedure on the SQL Loader server is quite complex and involved JAVA+Unix Shell Scripts etc. which I would prefer to avoid.
I'm looking for a solution to hyperlink to a local file (i.e. C:/test.txt). I want that the user clicks on a "browse file" button like the file browse item. after the user selected a file or just a folder the path should be shown in a display only item. this item should be clickable...
Is it possible to create a "Browse file" dialog? I know that to link to a file is possible with some HTML tags in the "pre element text" and "post element text" fields. something like "<a href="... but I don't know how this works.
I need to change "File Character" when I export application with Apex 4.2.1.00.08 version, but this option, is not possible. The ComboBox already select with
"Unicode UTF-8]', but I need "ISO-8859-1 - Europa Ocidental",
I am trying to insert In multiple table where one tbl PK is FK of other , I achieved that functionality using Instead of Insert trigger.(PK is handled by another trigger) -- main functionNow On successfully insert i need to captured the PK in Hidden variable to pass it on further for more insert on other table (Pk again being Fk to this table)--- secondary function
I have made Horizontal Wizard Progress List over 3 pages.I also made those 3 pages with some simple text fields, checkboxes and so on.On the last page I did the INSERT Process (session variables P100_Date ect).It worked fine! But now I tried a different approach
On each of the 3 pages I made a "Form on a Table or View" and on each pageI hide some of the form. (the advantage of this situation is, that apex gives you a visaul hint about the null fields and so on).But on the last page I cant do the INSERT with the session variables.(I can do the INSERT without session variable, with static values)...
Getting starting with diving deeper into APEX and reading the developers guide all 800 pages of it! Thing is I'd like to get started with some of the more interesting stuff.
I have created a form page based on the "Form on a Table with Report". The report part looks fine. What I'd like to do now is use an API I've built to change how the insert and update works. So when the submit button is pressed it rather performs an API call to the procedure/function.
1. Should the API be a function or procedure. In my playing around I saw that a procedure might work better or easier to implement 2. How would I go about creating a call for the button to use instead of the current processes?

i have create service rate card Form for transport Service and i have declare transport component into master lookup table .There is 11 component into master.To Difine rate for a particular transport service i have insert these component name with there rate into another table transport_rate _card.
To do this i have created page with these 11 component name item and there 11 rate item to enter component rate with respective services. Problem is if i create 11 component name text item and 11 text item to enter there conmponent rate but if user add 3 or 4 or 5 more componenet name into master then i'll be need to add extra component name text item and component rate text item.so i need to create form where if user add more component into master then component name item and component rate item should be increase automaticaly.
How i can create form where item added auotmaticaly acording to component which are exist into master table. there is only component name into master table.
I have a table with usernames and passwords. The passwords are stored in plaintext. I would like to issue an ALTER command on the password field to store a hash instead, and then repopulate those fields with an encrypted version of the plaintext passwords that were there before.
I would prefer to do this in a procedure, as I am going to perform it in a test environment first, then eventually in the production environment.
I have a Clob file as a in parameter in my PROC. . File is comma separated.need procedure that would parse this CLOB variable and populate in oracle table .
I have a table with full path and name of a document or a URL.
Users can now open one of these documents by klicking on a link. P:Document est.doc or URL....
Some times this document no longer exisits. How do I make sure the user gets a correct error message? URL....How do I make sure the user gets a correct error message?
I have multibyte CSV files (extract from BI) : Excel says "Unicode txt" and when I save them from Excel in "Text CSV", they get half the size on the disk.
here is the piece of code where the uploaded file get converted from blob to clob then to varchar2 (CSV Util from Oleg.Lihvoinen [URL]...
SELECT blob_content INTO v_blob_data FROM wwv_flow_files WHERE NAME = p_file_name;
[code]...
I have tried different values for "blob_csid := 873 ;" (and by the way, the list of possible values for this code is very difficult to find : I know, there is a function CS_name to CS_ID but a list would be great), but without any visible effect.If I use the Apex CSV uploader app, the result is the same than with this code.
is an example : �O�R�A�C�L�E�
instead of : ORACLE
How I can have these files imported whithout an Excel conversion ?
I want to print a report using the apex, but it looks like you need to configure BI, Is there an easy way to print it online and not print the page, which is page report.
My application has several update-able forms. And I build a single staging table to store all these records.
The user wants a button on the last form and by clicking on this button they want to export the file(updated records from all the forms) in ASCII format.
if its do-able or not in apex since I haven't come across this kind of request earlier and didn't find the same in this forum?
In my apex application needs to import data files, through end users. The fields in this file are not separated by any character (structure is not classic CSV), but have a fixed width.
How to do?
Scenario 1:
import file to a temporary table with a blob column, create a trigger for this table via a PL / SQL code meet end table
