SQL & PL/SQL :: Hard Code Bad File Names For External Table
Apr 7, 2011
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..
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.
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'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

I am new in external table so i have tried following cmd.
create directory dir_1 as 'E:ora_dirt' ; grant read, write on directory dir_1 to HR; select * from all_directories; create table emp_ext (emp_id number, emp_name varchar2(30)
[code]...
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"*
During a duplicate process to a new database name, rman crashed after the restore but before the switch datafile all.So now, we have under ASM the data files under the correct (new) diskgroup but v$datafile contains the previous names (and so diskgroup) and v$datafile_header is empty. RMAN is completly lost, our solution is to manually rename each file under SQL*Plus using ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE. Unfortunately, we are using or migrating to OMF, so file names are meaningless and we are unable to associate ASM files with database files.
Any way (query or anything else) to associate the ASM files to the database files. Here's an abstract of what we have for one (small) tablespace:
ASMCMD [+ORAXQG1_L136_DG1/ORAXPG1/DATAFILE] > ls -l N47CAW* Type Redund Striped Time Sys Name DATAFILE UNPROT COARSE NOV. 12 10:00:00 Y N47CAW1.276.799152039 DATAFILE UNPROT COARSE NOV. 12 10:00:00 Y N47CAW1.318.799151641 SQL> select file#, name from v$datafile where ts#=17 2 / [code]...
My aim is to display the missing itemnames for each itemcode.
For each ITEM_CODE there should be four items i.e Pen,Pencil,Scale and Marker If any itemcode missed any of the itemnames those records should display in the output.
So the output should be like this
101 Marker Because the item Marker is missed. 102 Pencil Because the items Pencil and Marker are missed. 102 Marker Because the items Pencil and Marker are missed.
For itemcode 103 no records should be displayed because it having all four itemnames.
load data infile 'C:\Documents and Settings\xxxxx\Desktop\abc.txt' APPEND PRESERVE BLANKS INTO TABLE table1

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:
I need to make the location parametrized so we don't have to hard code the file name file1. Can I do this in Oracle or do I need to do this in a shell script on the UNIX server?
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.
I want to stored the excel or ms word document in oracle database. Is it possible to view that file from database. If i export full database it is included in that dmp.
I am trying to join column names from a table with data from a different table. I think i should be able to pass the parameter to a 'select list' in a query. Look at my sample data below. And the data in sales table can grow till 15 rows and similarly corresponding columns in saleshist.
I have 20 tables. In all 20 tables, some of column names are same and some are different. I need to find all column names in all 20 tables that have same names.
I am using Developer 10g R2. I have a form with two fields named input_value and output_value and a button named ok. I have a java class named Factorial which return the factorial of the input value. Now i want to use this class into pl/sql in ok button.
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
