My db version: Oracle 11g I have an empty csv file.I created a external table for the empty csv file.When I run:select count(*) from externaltblname;It returns 1. It should return 0 right. In the definition, I specified "SKIP 1"But still it returns 1. When I use this external table to load into a target table. It loads a single row with null values.How to fix this.

I 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.
I need to load csv file using an external table.
Structure of External Table:
---------------------------
create table A (col1 varchar2(30), col3 varchar2(30), col5 varchar2(30));
CSV FILE:
-----------
col1,col2,col3,col4,col5
A,B,C,D,E
1,2,3,4,5
The table data should look like
COL1 COL3 COL5
A C E
1 3 5
need to skip the columns in CSV file.
I have question on the following, that gets defined for the bad file and the log file
BADFILE 'bad_%a_%p.bad'
LOGFILE 'log_%a_%p.log'
What does the %a and % p indicate? Also if I wanted to get the value of %p and %a into a variable how would I do it? I want to be able to append %p and %a to the below variable, but unsure how to achieve it..
l_badfile := file_nm || '.bad' ;
I'm trying to load a csv file into an external table and when I select the table 0 rows is the result.
The log file has the following errors:
KUP-04021: field formatting error for field DEPTNO
KUP-04023: field start is after end of record
KUP-04101: record 1 rejected in file /usr/tmpclie.csv
error processing column EMPNO in row 2 for datafile /usr/tmpclie.csv
ORA-01722: invalid number
This is the script for the table:
create table emp_ext (
EMPNO NUMBER(4),
ENAME VARCHAR2(10),
JOB VARCHAR2(9),
MGR NUMBER(4),
HIREDATE DATE,
[code]....
And this is csv:

how to get rid of the first EMPTY line generated by SQL*Plus when spool'ing to a file.
I tried using set pagesize 0 and while that get rid of the empty blank line, it also disabled the heading ...
Currently using sed as a work around. But unfortunately, can't use sed on Windows?
set pagesize 200
set heading on
set trimspool on
set lines 200
set verify off
set echo off
set feedback off
[code].......
As mentioned, using pagesize 0 remove the blank line but I also lost the heading.
In a control file, the code is as follows:
load data
infile 'C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxx\Desktop\abc.txt'
APPEND
PRESERVE BLANKS
INTO TABLE table1
[code]...
When I run the above control file in sqlldr, I'm getting the error as
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table table1, column column3.
ORA-01481: invalid number format model
In the table the column3 data type is NUMBER(6,2).: The column size in table is 6 and position of column3 in control file is only 4. Also if possible let me know how the same data (send me 2 dummy records) which exactly works for the above control file especially for column3 where decimal number comes in the flat file.
For generating the flat file, for column3, i'm using LPAD(:value,4,0) in the select query column list.
Encountering an issue with an Oracle external table. We get the following error when we load a particular file in this table:
ORA-12801: error signaled in parallel query server P000
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEFETCH callout
ORA-30653: reject limit reached
ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", line 52
We have narrowed this down to a text field in the file that contains the following text (text obfuscated):
XXXXXXXX ł XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
This is nominally 40 characters long, which matches the maximum field size, but it is being rejected because it appears the 'ł' character is causing Oracle to interpret the length as 41 characters instead. If I remove a X then the file loads without issue.
We tried this in a new schema we created where we added the same table and used the same file. There was no problem at all. The oracle database has the following settings:
NLS_CHARACTERSETUTF8
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSETUTF8
NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICSBYTE
NLS_LANGUAGEAMERICAN
The table is defined as follows:
CREATE TABLE XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.XXXXXXXXX_INTERFACE
(
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX VARCHAR2(40 CHAR),
XXXXXXXXXX VARCHAR2(40 CHAR),
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX VARCHAR2(40 CHAR),
XXXXXXXXXXXXX VARCHAR2(40 CHAR),
[code]........
We tried adding the following attributes but they did not seem to make any difference:
CHARACTERSET UTF8
STRING SIZES ARE IN CHARACTERS

is there any way I can use 1 flat file (csv) to populate many external tables ?
what empty blocks are, and how to remove them.What I'd like to do is not have empty blocks in the first place on loading a table. I load a lot of "static" tables and would like to not have any wasted space at the end, with minimal shinanigans.
I've set pctfree 0
I"ve set initial to close to the end table size
I've set next to 1M
I've set pctincrease 0
blocksize is 8k
Yet I still need to at least do an alter table deallocate unused

I have a table in schema with a BLOB field. I store employee's picture in this field. Fields in this table are emp_id (number) emp_name (varchar2) and emp_photo (BLOB). I want to ask if there is a way in pl / sql that i could empty this BLOB field to null or reset this field so that user can change the saved photo graph and save another one.
what i am looking for is something like
alter table employee set emp_photo = empty_blob() or alter table employee set emp_photo = null
I 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.
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
I'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?
I 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?
