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 a flat file on an unix system.The file is required to be loaded through Oracle External Table.
Issue:
Not sure how to skip the first record when loading through Oracle External Table.How to suppress data while loading through External Table.
Requiremen syntax where in I can skip the first record. syntax for suppressing values in columns that are not required. How the same needs to be handled in case of Number datatype and Varchar2 datatype. Example - In case of Number can it be replaced with 0 and for datatype can be same be replaced with NULL.
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.
A big table of size more than 4 GB from 10g DB needed to be extracted/exported into a text file,the column delimiter is "&|" and row delimiter is "$#".I cannot do it from TOAD as it is hanging while extraction of big table.

(emp_id number,
emp_name varchar2(30)

since I am not able to see DIR_1 in E: drive due to which i havnt created 'emp.dat' file and on executing select on external table i m geting expected error *"ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout ORA-29400: data cartridge error KUP-04043: table column not found in external source: EMP_ID"*
how to create that file in directory "DIR_1" .
I am trying to Spool the data in pipe delimitted csv file but some of the records going on another line from the same records. Currently some of the data going to next line as below oulined in the 2nd and 3rd line (in bold - |Home & Family) . I have following sql setting in my spool file:
set linesize 4000 pagesize 0 trimspool on feedback off verify off echo off
set define off
spool Stk_hold_Sec_Tsk.csv
I tried increase linesize to 5000 but its not working.
Ex.
PSS:Production Manager|ZS:PsS:PP:PROD_TCODES|P2S: PP - Production Transactions|House & street
PSS:Production Manager|ZC:BW:PsS_RPT_MGR|BW PsS Reports Manager
[b]|House & street[/b]
PsS:Production Manager|ZC:BW:PsS_RPT_USER|BW PsS Reports User
[b]|House & street[/b]
PsS:Master Data (PDMs)|ZS:GEN:GENERAL_USER|GEN: General User|House & street
Data should be like into the file:
PSS:Production Manager|ZS:PsS:PP:PROD_TCODES|P2S: PP - Production Transactions|House & street
PSS:Production Manager|ZC:BW:PsS_RPT_MGR|BW PsS Reports Manager|House & street
PsS:Production Manager|ZC:BW:PsS_RPT_USER|BW PsS Reports User|House & street
PsS:Master Data (PDMs)|ZS:GEN:GENERAL_USER|GEN: General User|House & street
I think it should be something with linesize or pagesize but not sure

A WSDL file is given which is composed from a header and body. We need to map the fixed file to the body node.
Let me know the steps and also a sample xml for the same if possible.
using SQLLDR: Looking for a control file solution to move past or bypass extra data fields which are not on destination table. Basically if you have 8 tab delimited fields(terminated by ' ') on a data record; but only need to load 5 of the values from the delimited record; is there a way to ignore/bypass the not needed data. Obviously, the answer would be to massage the data at the OS and removed the 3 unnecessary fields.
However my hands are tied by volume,time, and compliancy. I am familiar with using 'FILLER' for the reverse scenario; but not where you have more data available on the record then exists on the table.
I am expecting the input to my procedure will be in the following format
'AAA, aaa, Aa12|BBB, bbb, bb2B|dd3, DDDE,ddd67'
I need to convert it to nested table and when I query the nested table , the output should be
column_value

AAA

In a control file, the code is as follows:
load data

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),

I am using when validate trigger in the item level for baserate, markup, and rate my requirement is
1.if markup and rate are null then all the trigger should fire which means baserate value should show calculating entered markup in the rate field.

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

BRANCH = 2B

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
