View 6 RepliesI would like to spool a clob column to a flag file, however some of the clob are greater than 32k, and I have to have the same record in a single line in the file. Is there any way to achieve this through spooling?
set heading off

set term off
set long 1000000

I am migrating data from DB2 to Oracle. I used DB2 export to extract the data specifying lobsinfile clause. This created all the CLOB data in one file. So a typical record has a column with a reference to the CLOB data. "OUTFILE.001.lob.0.2880/". where OUTFILE.001.lob is the name specified in the export command and 0 is the starting position in the file and 2880 is the length of the first CLOB.
When I try to load this data using sqlldr I'm getting a file not found.Attached is a copy of the control file and output from testing
PS. I cant use the DB2 option LOBSINSEPFILES which creates a separate file for each CLOB column because the table has over 14 million rows....and creating 14 mil files causes OS inode problems...

To add application name in a spool file, I am using the below way.
sqlplus username/pwd@tns @xyz.sql APP0115
SQL> define appname="'&1'"
Enter value for 1: APP0115
SQL> prompt &appname
'APP0115'
SQL> spool &appname._html_jobs.csv;
SP2-0768: Illegal SPOOL command
Usage: SPOOL { <file> | OFF | OUT }
where <file> is file_name[.ext] [CRE[ATE]|REP[LACE]|APP[END]]
But I am getting the above error in the spool file clause because of single quote printing infront of the spool file. But the method of defining a character is "'&1'". So I cannot avoid this single quote in the define clause.
'APP0115'
print the appname like APP0115 instead 'APP0115'.then only I can use this in the spool file clause?
how to create a file in a folder based on todays date. i need to know how to define a variable in sqlplus and assign a value to it.Here is the code below. The code gets executed without creating a spool file.
DEFINE _DATE = replace('C:\_sysdate_EU001.csv', '_sysdate_', TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'DD-MON-YYYY'))
spool _DATE
set serveroutput on size 100000
select * from dual;
spool off
I use sqplus in oracle to output the command output to text file .
I use below set environment varialble.

I would like to store my sql query output into text file.Like for example:
select name from emp where emp_id=101;
Here output should be in text file as
swapna.
I dont want to use spool statement here,since If I use it,spool statement will also be printed in text file which is not my requirement.I just want to take only output.
I have a master table A that has 10+ columns along with data and a configuration table B that has only 2 columns i.e table name and column name. For ex:-
Table A:-
C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6
-- -- -- -- -- -----
1 2 3 4 3 6
4 5 6 5 5 5
Table B:-
Table_Name Column_Name
--------- ----------
A C1
A C2
A C3
Now I need to write a sql script that should take the table A Columns defined in Table B and then based on the columns it should spool the columns output from Table A.
For above ex:- I need to spool the C1,C2,C3 columns data from Table A in to some Unix path using SQL SCRIPT.
I would like to use the Spool command to export data for other purposes within the application. We would like to use tab delimiter to seperate the fields but the client wants to know if the text datatype fields can be wrapped in double quotes along with the tab delimiter..
SQL>create table test (id number(2), first_name varchar2(15), last_name varchar2(15),var_no number(4),
type varchar2(1),type_no number(12));
Table created.
SQL> insert into test values(1,'mary','ross',132,'S',12);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into test values(3,'Sue','Bill',432,'S',12);
1 row created.
I tried the below spool command to use tab delimited for all the fields but not sure how to wrap double quotes for only the text fields and also would to have the column names in the 1st row but don't seem to get the full column name in the csv file.
set echo off
set feedback off
set linesize 1000
set pagesize 4000
set trim on
set headsep off
set colsep '' (used tab between the quote)
spool test.csv
select id,first_name,last_name,var_no,type,type_no from test;
spool off
I am trying to spool data from tables into flat files. I am using the following scripts to accomplish it
1. A cmd file (windows) that makes a call to a sql file
2. The SQL file which generates another query file at the run time, depending upon the table name passed to it
3. The run time query file , that executes the final query and spools the data into a txt file | delimited
For e.g. :
Actual command passed C:Spool_utilityspool_utility TABLE_NAME
E.g. of the spool utility file :
@echo off
SET dbuser=XX@YY
SET dbpw=xxxx
echo %date% - %time% - Start > %1%log.txt
echo START
sqlplus -s %dbuser%/%dbpw% @spool_utility.sql %1>%1.txt
echo %date% - %time% - Done >> %1%log.txt
echo DONE
E.g. of the spool_utility.sql
set echo off
SET newpage 0
SET feedback off
SET linesize 32767
set pagesize 0
[code]........
The above file generates a table_name.sql file with the actual table name at run time and gets executed and the output is written to the table_name.txt file.
This works perfectly fine. But the issue is when someone passes some wrong table name or if there is a actual run time error while executing the query , the error with details itself itself gets written to the end spool file.
For e.g. : if i do this just to generate an error and execute it from command line, the query generates an error and writes the error to the spool file , but at the command prompt where I executed the command I do not see any error and the process seems to have run perfectly well
set xxx on xxx off as above
spool &1.sql;
Prompt Select * from &1 where rownum><10---this will cause the issue
spool off
set termout ON
@ &1
EXIT
Eg of spool file generated :
from table_name WHERE rownum><=10 *
ERROR at line 62:
ORA-00936: missing expression
My question is, is there any way i can capture this runtime error and return this error to my calling sql script spool_utility.sql and then propagate it to the calling command file and do some tasks for eg removing the spool file and writing the actual error to a log file . Basically any way to know at my OS calling level that the entire spooling operation was unsuccessful.
Just wanted to export a clob field to .txt file, the maximum length of the clob field exceeds the limit 32767. So only partial data is exported to flat file. is there any way to export the entire data available in clob field irrespective of the size or lenght.
Length of the clob is 301829
l_file := UTL_FILE.fopen('LOCALDIR', '3.txt', 'w', 32767);
LOOP
DBMS_LOB.read (v_text_exp, l_amount, l_pos, l_buffer);
UTL_FILE.put(l_file, l_buffer);
l_pos := l_pos + l_amount;
END LOOP;
I have extracted data from table and write into one text via sqlplus utility in shell scripts. i got correct output. i am having two issues on the output file
1) Outfile file size is huge high compare then table segment data.
2) last column having extra space.
The output column is clob datatype. so i have added set long 50000 and set longchunksize 50000 parameter. after adding these only i got above issues. without two options, i am not getting this isssue but lines are wrapped.

I need to do the following via the sql plus command prompt :
1. Execute a large ".pls" script file which does various inserts and updates to a table.
2. Spool the output of "select * from updatedtable;" to a text file to see the changes made.
3. Rollback all the updates and inserts in the script.
I want to ask if we could create a sub folder using the SPOOL command. I tried the following but it gave "Cannot create Spool file" error.
SPOOL C:TESTABCABC.sql
where TEST is already present in the C drive whereas I want SPOOL command to create a sub-directory named 'ABC' and then create the spool file 'ABC.sql' isnside it.
Is this possible ? My OS version is MS XP.
I have a problem spooling flat files in utf 8. I have 3 different sql that needs to be spooled regulary in utf8 format.the first two containing special chars is spooled without any problem, but the third that is containg only numbers and pipe-s is spooled in ansi format.
i have set nls_lang=.utf8 in my shell script, but that only worked at the first two sql the last doesnt work.
I have also tried to convert file using iconv command, but the output is still in ansi (only works if i put a special char in the ansi file then it converts to utf8 without problem) if i open the file in notepad and save as utf8 then it works, but i cannnot reach the same from unix script.
I am looking forward for getting the output of audit records in a non-editable format as in pdf or something of that sort. Is it possible from Oracle 10g Rel-2?Can i spool output as PDF format?

My SQLPULS script below generates 2 million records and it works fine without any errors, which I run from my batch file. (sqlplus -S %CONNECT% @"SCRIPTSmysql.sql"
The script itself runs 2 hours and exits via sqlplus.exe properly without any errors based on errorlevel from my batch and proper generated data. However, I have noticed that spool output file stops generating any records after 1 hour. It appears that client sqlplus.exe is sleeping or verifying something after spooling completed exactly the same period of time that takes to generate my out file. Is there a way to configure my script to avoid this 1 hour sleep/verification process?

My query is:
I have large data in the one table(approx. 2GB and above). I want to load the data in one flat file.
When i use spool - it is loading half data and remaining it is corrupting. In UNIX, i kept .sql file and with that i am exporting in .dat file. How to export the large data into flat file(.dat). is there any way to load command which wil be used in UNIX.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to build a data warehouse for Consumer Price Index and so I have downloaded data from the Bureau of Statistics.It is in excel format and since I am working with Oracle Warehouse Builder I have converted it to .csv file so that I can use it as a data source.
Question1: Is it practical to use single .csv file as a source of data for a data warehouse?
Question2: I have 3 dimensions tables and a fact table.The dimensions are one for the Region(as the date is organized in region,states etc),two is the consumer goods and services (as the data is organized in groups of goods and services, services/goods types) and finally time(year and month),
Now how am I going to do the mapping here?Is it possible to do a one to one mapping here as all data required by the dimensions is located in the .csv file.

Is there any setups required for creating a utl file using sql developer. If yes, what are the setups to be done.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am connected to an oracle database on campus thru my laptop. The interface i am using is oracle sql developer. We are practicing entering SQL commands. The connection name is DBA120. So, the name of the database is DBA120, correct? Also, I must review the respective ERD (i.e., to know the table relationships) in order to determine the proper sql commands, correct?
Well, in this database connection (DBA120), there are several tables that actually pertain to three different databases, ACCOUNTING, BOOK, and DJ. (I have the respective ERDs.)
I want to be able to save a database to file so I can run it on another computer. How do I save each of the three databases to a file or can't I? Or must I save the DBA120 database? how do i do that? do i save it(them) as sql files?
