when I am running a cursor and printing its data into an excel file using utl_file, the file size is nearly 50mb. But if I run the cursor and copy its data manually into an excel sheet the file size is only 22mb. I am unable to undersatnd why there is difference in file size.

Is there a way to read Excel file using UTL_FILE package ?
Like our usual method:
l_utlfile := utl_file.fopen(p_dir, p_filename, 'R',2000);
p_filename is event.xls
Or do we need to convert that file to .csv or .txt ?
Is there a way to find when was a database role created and who has created?

How to handle this scnario through UTL_File
I have an application that creates files using the utl_file package. It works fine but one of the lines in the file should hold the number of bytes in the file (on a line formatted like 'FileSize: 2104'). Unfortunately this line is not the last line of the file and the lines that follow it are variable in length.
My approach therefore is as follows:
1. Write the 'FileSize: ' line during file creation.
2. Write the remaining lines of data to the file (but don't close it).
3. Use utl_fgetattr to find the file size.
4. Go back and find the 'FileSize' line I need to update, using get_line to read it into the buffer.
5. Append the filesize (plus the number of characters that the variable I use to store the filesize value) to the buffer string.
6. Write the line back to the file using put_line.
However I keep getting invalid file operation errors however I try to re-access the file...
PROCEDURE setUtlFileSize (pFileName IN VARCHAR2,
pFileHandle IN utl_file.file_type) IS
vbFileExists BOOLEAN;
viFileLen NUMBER;
viFileBlockSize NUMBER;
vsFileRecord VARCHAR2(2000);
[code].......
This gives me the following output.... (for two files)... currently I am using some generic exception handling just to show me the error.
File Length: 2106
File Position: 0
-29283,ORA-29283: invalid file operation
File Length: 497
File Position: 0
-29283,ORA-29283: invalid file operation
Process exited.
Two things here concern me: The File Position suggests that the current offset position is set to the start of the file... but since I had not closed or performed any other operation since the last put_line and fflush (which are used to add lines to the file) I had expected that the offset position would be the same as the file length?
Secondly: Even if the position had been reset to the start of the file I don't understand why the get_line gives me the oracle error.
I am trying read a File to find out the error message through UTL_FILE.m. But the loop used inside is not getting closed.
CREATE OR REPLACE procedure alert_mail_A
as
v_flag varchar2(10);
mesg varchar2(100);

We have a p/slq procedure that reads a *.txt file using the UTL_FILE package. The contents of the file are then inserted into a database table.
At the end of the procedure we close the open file using UTL_FILE.FCLOSE.
There is a program (non-oracle)that attempts to move the file to a new location after being read into Oracle. The problem is that the application cannot move the file as the file is locked. ie message displays that the file is open and cannot be moved to a new location.
Is there anything else that we are missing besides the UTL_FILE.FCLOSE.

i am trying to read the file, for which i m using the following:
l_utlfile_hdr := utl_file.fopen(p_dir,'header_evnt.txt', 'R');
utl_file.get_line(l_utlfile_hdr, l_hdr_evnt);
it gets these three characters at the start of the line
l_hdr_evnt = 
So i saved header_evnt.txt as UTF-8, and used utl_file.fopen_nchar, utl_file.get_line_nchar, which got rid of first two characters, but still has ¿. How to get rid of that?

We have a requirement to create a file using UTL_FILE package. so we tried to generate the file in directory at UNIX level,for example "/tmp" which means when we executing the stored procedure which in turn calls UTL_FILE package and create a file say "a.txt". On checking the permission for "a.txt", it shows as follows
-rw-r----- oracle dba a.txt
this means read and write for oracle user, read for dba group and no permission for other user.
our requirement is to have the following privileges at UNIX level.
-rw-r--r-- oracle dba a.txt
Is it possible to do at oracle level since the file is owned by oracle user or at UNIX level (with out logging to oracle user)?
Environment: UNIX AIX 6.1 and Oracle 11.2.0.3
I am using an Oracle 8i database.We intend creating a dbms_job that would run every 5 minutes. The job executes a script that would use utl_file to read two text files (a header file and detail file) from a particular directory and load the data into temporary tables. The naming convention of the files are Parts_Master_DD/MM/YY HH:MI:SS and Parts_Stats_DD/MM/YY HH:MI:SS. Both files to be stored in the same directory.
If the file name was constant ie. Parts_Master, Parts_Stats I would not have a problem. However with each file name now going to be unique, how do I handle this using utl_file. To add to my dilemma, within an hour more than one set of files could be piped to the directory to be read into the database.
Is there a technique to getting a Top-N query to work as a sub-select in a larger query -or- is there another way to generate Top-N like results that works as a sub-select?
Background:
We have a large query that is being used to build an export from a legacy HR system to a new one. Amount the data needed in the export is the employees primary phone number.
The legacy HR system allows multiple phone numbers to be stored in a simple table structure:
SELECT emp_id, phone_type, phone_number
FROM employee_phones
emp_idphone_typephone_number
------- --------------- -------------------
46021CELL2222222222
46021HOME1111111111
46021WORK3333333333
The new HR system does allow for multiple phone numbers, however they need a primary phone number identified and stored with the employee master information. (Subsequent phone numbers get stored in alternate table.)
From a business perspective, we have decided that if they have a HOME phone in the legacy system that should be the primary in the new system, if no HOME phone, then WORK, if no WORK then CELL.
That can be represented as:
SELECT *
FROM employee_people_phones
WHERE emp_id = '46021'
ORDER BY decode(phone_type, 'HOME', 'a', 'WORK', 'b', 'CELL', 'c', 'z')
emp_idphone_typephone_number
------- --------------- -------------------
46021HOME1111111111
46021WORK2222222222
46021CELL3333333333
Or similarly with Top N concept:
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT *
FROM employee_people_phones
WHERE emp_id = '46021'
ORDER BY decode(phone_type, 'HOME', 'a', 'WORK', 'b', 'CELL', 'c', 'z')) results
WHERE ROWNUM = 1
emp_idphone_typephone_number
------- --------------- -------------------
46021HOME1111111111
Or really what I want in my export:
SELECT phone_number
FROM (SELECT phone_number
FROM employee_people_phones
WHERE emp_id = '46021'
ORDER BY decode(phone_type, 'HOME', 'a', 'WORK', 'b', 'CELL', 'c', 'z')) results
WHERE ROWNUM = 1
phone_number
-------------------
1111111111
However, when the Top-N query is added as a sub-select in a larger query using the employee id from the larger query (WHERE emp_id = export.emp_id), it fails saying that �export.emp_id� is not a valid id.
(SELECT phone_number
FROM (SELECT phone_number
FROM employee_people_phones
WHERE emp_id = export.emp_id
ORDER BY decode(phone_type, 'HOME', 'a', 'WORK', 'b', 'CELL', 'c', 'z')) results
WHERE ROWNUM = 1)
1.Any way around this? Is it possible to put a Top-N (with a WHERE clause using data from the main query) in a sub-select?
2.Any alternatives (other than Top-N) to delivering a ROWNUM=1 result with a �custom� ORDER BY statement?
Other Notes: Yes, we know we could do two queries in the data conversion first deliver the bulk data to the target table, and then update with the phone numbers. However, for multiple reasons, that is less than desirable.
I managed to upload images to a database server, resize them, copy to the application server and everything worked just fine - the Apex page successfully displayed images. Since last week, things have broken. This is how: there's a directory object which points to application server's directory:
SQL> select * from all_directories;
OWNER DIRECTORY_NAME DIRECTORY_PATH
------- ------------------------------ -----------------------------------
SYS SLIKE_4005_UPLOAD d:gisslike_4005_upload --> on a database server
SYS SLIKE_4005 \my-iasd$homegisslike_4005 --> on an application server
SQL>
I can use a directory located on a database server:
D:GISSlike_4005_upload>dir photo_resize.*
Volume in drive D is RAID
Volume Serial Number is 88F2-69D2
Directory of D:GISSlike_4005_upload
[code]....
How come it doesn't work? I was absent last week, database server was restarted for some reason (there were Windows' updates which required restarting). After that, all applications (lucky us, just two of them, but in multiple procedures/functions) return FALSE for UTL_FILE.FGETATTR.
We recreated directory objects, but that didn't work (UNC or not, no difference). I Googled quite a lot, read Metalink notes - nothing I did solved the problem.
what these OS updates were about; maybe they are not to be blamed at all. Both servers (database & application) run MS Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition Service Pack 2. In the meantime, a colleague developed a workaround (it uses UTL_HTTP) which works, but it is MUCH slower than the previous UTL_FILE.FGETATTR option.
Why don't we keep these images on the database server (instead of the application server)?I was told that Apache is incapable of accessing mapped network directories so we used what we could.
can we use features of utl_file in oracle forms.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI want to create a meta data table which has all the views users can access with a description of what the view was supposed to do.
Is there a trigger that can be created that fires when a view is created? To make it easy only one user in this system (oracle 9.2.0.8) has the create view privilege.
I know I could write a procedure to create views with dynamic sql that would do this but that seems a bit of overkill.
the sequence of events should go like this:
view created
trigger fires
record with view name and creation date inserted in a table
later, manually go to the table and add explanatory comment
or can I add a comment to a view like you can to tables?
