Forms :: Read External File Data At A Time Like Bulk Collect Concept?
Jul 23, 2012I have external file like (.csv or .txt) which contain million of record...i wnat to upload it in backend by using form 6i/10g.
by using package text_io.fopen i read it and by using for..loop conventional method insert record into table...but it will take time..
Is there any way like we use bulk collect and FORALL in backend for inserting data into table..
Is there any way to read external file at a time and insert it ...so minimize inserting time....process will become fast.
SQL & PL/SQL :: External Table Query (compare Number Records In File With External Table)
Jan 23, 2013I have got a procedure that successfully creates an oracle external table and populates it with the contents of a file. This works fine until I have a situation where one of the fields is a VARCHAR2(2) and I try to insert say, a 5 character value. When this happens the record in question does not get populated in the external table (and rightly so), but I could do with working out if there is a discrepancy in the number of records in the file and the number of records that actually make it into the table so I could inform the user that there is a problem.
I have attached the code that creates the external table and populates it.
SQL & PL/SQL :: Insert All Records From External Table Into Export Table
Mar 25, 2013 following is the requirement
External Table
WKSHT_FILE_EXT
wksht_line
Export Table
Wksht_export
global_idvarchar2(10)
wksht_linevarchar2(250)
[code]....
Step 1.Insert all records from the external table into the export table. Truncate the export table first
Step 2.Read in a record from the export map table
Step 3.Search through export table records looking for the key words BRANCH =. Compare the branch code with the branch code form the map table
Step 4.If a match is found mark all records in the export table for the worksheet with the global ID from the export map table as follows..The first line of a worksheet is marked by the words WKSHTS..The last line of the work sheet is marked by the words COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL..We will need to capture the line break so also mark the next line after the COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL line
Step 5.Continue with Steps 2 - 4 until all records have been processed from the export map table.
first I have to create a procedure ti insert data from external table to export table.Global id will be blank.it will be updated by the mapping table's Global Id when The EB COLUMN's data(i.e 8p,2Betc ) will match with the BRANC=NA,2Betc of the datasheet loaded from the external table.. FOLLOWING IS THE SAMPLE DATASHEET
WKSHTS AAAAA BBBBBBBBBBB ELECTRONICS INC. TIME REPORT-DATE PAGE
SORT - BR, SLSREP AEC FIELD SALES REPRESENTATIVE 16:14 09/21/12 1
BRANCH = 2B
EMPLOYEE NAME SALVAAG, GREGG Days in the Month 28
[code]....
THERE ARE 2 pages..I have to split this LONG REPORT STORED IN WKSHT_LINE COLUMN OF EXPORT TABLE to 2 records..like wise 500 pages are there means 500 records.. AND THEN FIND BRANCH= after that which two words will come i.e NA,2B etc if it will MATCH WITH MAPPING TABLE"S EB COLUMN"S DATA,THEN MAPPING TABLE's GLOBAL ID WILL BE UPDATED TO EXPORT TABLE's GLOBAL ID WHICH IS BLANK
SQL & PL/SQL :: XML External Table
May 12, 2011I'm experiencing some problems when trying to import an 50Mb XML file to an Oracle database. In this XML file I do have several data from customers:
- Name
- Address
- Contacts
I also have several tables within the DB that would receive this information:
- Customer
- CustomerAddress
- CustomerContacts
The problem is that, with my XML Transformation and correspondent insertion onto the databse I'm having an huge problem of time expended. I'm having more than 3 hours to insert over 180.000 records on those tables. what can I do to accelerate the process?
MS Excel As External Table
Sep 6, 2013I need to do some analysis and research to find if any of these 8000 tables I have in a spreadheet that are going to be spit off into a separate database are used by any of our PeopleSoft processes.
I'm assigned to Student Records identified by NTSR.
So for table AAP_ETHNIC_PMPT, I could do something like
SELECT *
FROM PSSQLTEXTDEFN
where SQLID like 'NTSR%'
AND upper(sqltext) like '%PS_AAP_ETHNIC_PMPT%';
But how can I automate this and search 8000 rows in column A2 of a spreadsheet? What other tables other than PSSQLTEXTDEFN or PSPROJECTITEM can I use to search for values of NTSR?
SQL & PL/SQL :: Datafile For External Table?
Mar 9, 2010Every day we have use different data file for an external table to read from.
filename like this "filenameddmmyyyy"
Every day, I have to change name of datafile in external table script which is not a good way.
I want the automated way for external table to read the latest datafile from specified directory.
Further, there is anyway that we could know that the latest data file is available for external table.
SQL & PL/SQL :: Accessing Dmp Via External Table
Aug 5, 2011when i am writing dump from external table, it is accessing records from dump.but when i am trying to access other dumps(create thru expdp) it is giving error.the logic i am following is mentioned below-
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY "DIR_GMS" AS 'D:Gopal_works est_env_files'
GRANT READ ON DIRECTORY dir_gms TO gopal;
GRANT WRITE ON DIRECTORY dir_gms TO gopal;
-- creating dump file in directory
CREATE TABLE emp_ext
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(
TYPE ORACLE_DATAPUMP
DEFAULT DIRECTORY dir_gms
LOCATION ('emp_ext_dmp.dmp')
)
[code]......
i am able to see records.
New point:
-- taking export thru expdb
expdp hr/hr tables=EMPLOYEES directory=DIR_GMS dumpfile=HR_EMP.dmp logfile=expdpEMP.log
then i created one EXTERNAL TABLE TO access it.
CREATE TABLE emp_xt (
EMPLOYEE_ID NUMBER(5),
FIRST_NAME VARCHAR2(50),
LAST_NAME VARCHAR2(50))
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL (
TYPE ORACLE_DATAPUMP
DEFAULT DIRECTORY dir_gms

SQL & PL/SQL :: External Table With Validation
Jun 25, 2010I'm trying to create a external table column validation.
I have data like this
First column is Numeric, second is Non-Numeric
1,X
2,Y
3,Z
There are chances that I may have data as following
1,X
2A,Y
3,Z
My requirement is whenever I get non-numeric data in first column I want to pass 0 or NULL. So, I have created a external table with following script.
CREATE TABLE EXT_test
(
SL NUMBER (4),
BRANCH_NAME VARCHAR2 (100)
)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(
[code]........
Following is the code for function is numeric
function isnumeric( p_string in varchar2) return boolean as
l_number number;
begin
l_number := p_string;
return TRUE;
exception
when others then
return FALSE;
end;
It is not recognizing function IS NUMERIC. Is there any way, I can do this through External Table.
I'm getting error like
The following error has occurred:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout

SQL & PL/SQL :: External Table And Blank Strings
Sep 23, 2011I am importing some data using an external table, but the file on which the external table is built has some rows where a certain column is populated with two empty space characters.
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY xtern_data_dir AS 'C:/...';
CREATE TABLE ET_RPDMMA1_PEDI_MSTR (
GCN_SEQNO NUMBER(6),
PDM_MNAGE NUMBER(4),
PDM_MXAGE NUMBER(4),
PDM_MND NUMBER(18,6),
[code].......
This is an except of what's in the external text file. The full text file has been attached.

^
blank spaces may be |
causing error----------
Here is the error message I am receiving. I believe this is caused by the blank fields in the data.
INSERT INTO RPDMMA1_PEDI_MSTR (GCN_SEQNO,....

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEFETCH callout
ORA-30653: reject limit reached
ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", line 52
This is difficult to work with because the external table function does not appear to be even reading the file so it's not like I can convert the data as I'm loading into the internal database table. What are some approaches I can use to get Oracle to accept these blank columns and either populate them with blank spaces or set them to null?
SQL & PL/SQL :: How To Create External Table In Oracle 8i

SQL & PL/SQL :: External Table Does Not Show All Records
Jun 24, 2010I have an external table as follows:
CREATE TABLE EXT1
(
COL1 NVARCHAR2(2000),
COL2 CLOB
)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
( TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY FILE_DIR
ACCESS PARAMETERS
( RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL
( "COL1" CHAR,
[code]....
From here I can count all records and the total number of records matching the file record count, but could not read the clob columns. it's not picking up the values. but if I take this out
( "COL1" CHAR,
"COL2" RAW
)
then I am missing the record counts.Also if you put all varchar and char, that also missing the count against the file.
SQL & PL/SQL :: External Table And Spanish Characters
Sep 27, 2011I am having difficulty importing Spanish text files into my Oracle 11g XE database. Below is my external table declaration code. The external file is attached.
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY xtern_data_dir AS 'C:/.../';
CREATE TABLE ET_SLBLWD0_SPNSH_DESC (
LBL_WARN VARCHAR(4),
LBL_TXTSNS NUMBER(2),
LBL_DESCS VARCHAR2(55),
[Code]...
All 406 rows seem to import fine, but do not display the Spanish accent characters correctly. Note the strange characters:
SQL> SELECT count(*) FROM ET_SLBLWD0_SPNSH_DESC;
COUNT(*)
----------
406
SQL> select * from et_slblwd0_spnsh_desc;
LBL_ LBL_TXTSNS LBL_DESCS L L L L

0001 3 automotores u opere maquinaria peligrosa.
0002 1 Importante: Acabe todo este medicamento a menos que
0002 2 quien le escriba la receta le indique lo contrario.
[Code]...
I tried modifying my external table declaration by adding CHARACTERSET WE8ISO8859P1 and CHARACTERSET WE8MSWIN1252, but that just seems to cause the system to throw out ALL the rows containing Spanish characters:
COUNT(*) ---------- 197
SQL> select * from et_slblwd0_spnsh_desc;
LBL_ LBL_TXTSNS LBL_DESCS L L L L
---- ---------- ------------------------------------------------------- - - - -
0001 1 Puede causar somnolencia. El alcohol puede intensificar
0001 3 automotores u opere maquinaria peligrosa.
0002 1 Importante: Acabe todo este medicamento a menos que
0002 2 quien le escriba la receta le indique lo contrario.
0005 1 Debe tomar este medicamento con mucha agua.
0006 1 Puede descolorar la orina o las heces.
[Code]...
The log file specifies the following error on the bad rows:
error processing column LBL_DESCS in row xxx for datafile ...SLBLWD0_CRLF.TXT ORA-12899: value too large for column LBL_DESCS (actual: 55, maximum: 55)
What can I do to import these Spanish characters correctly?
PL/SQL :: External Table To Read Different Encoding?

Server Utilities :: How To Create External Table
Aug 10, 2012im trying to create an external table, and i load my data without no problem, and everything is fine, but i got some behavior with one column that i would like to know whats behind scenes, OK let's get the example:
[*] Sample Data
Line 1:333 1111111112009100000000000080000000013450.33
Line 2:11111111111220091016000000004.48
Line 3:222222222 220091016000000004.48

COL_B VARCHAR2(1),
COL_C DATE,
COL_D NUMBER(12,2))

[code]....
As you can see i can upload my table with no problem but i always get 3 lines counting last blank line if i try LOAD WHEN COL_A != BLANKS, i dont know if its a problem of the blank space left between fixed fields length, but if i do LOAD WHEN COL_B != BLANKS i get correct result 2 lines instead of 3, i want to know why (missing fields...) and (reject rows...) are not working...
Note: COL_A could be 9-11 length, if length its 9 then 2 spaces left before next one...

Can I create an external table for loading this file based on selection of fields driven by the record identifier which is the first field of each record, except for the firt two?
For e.g In the above file, for records which say 'abc' in it's first field, I want to load the 2,3,6,8 fields delimited by a comma (the values may as well be null in those fields) and for records which say 'Product' in their first fields, I want to load 5,8,9 and 10 fields from the same file. Basically, I want to know if we can use instr function while choosing the fields line by line based on a search criteria in the file. There will be less columns in my table than the number of fields in the csv file, so I guess I got to mention 'MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL' option. There is another challenge too - I have to skip loading the first two lines from the file to the table.
I have written a big pl/sql proc for doing the same, using utl_file.get_line option, but it is still untested and I would be extremely happy to believe that this can be achieved by creating an external table too.
SQL & PL/SQL :: External Table For CSV Delimited File Skipping Columns?
