I Got a scnario like a upload file contains
1.Header(Contains the File Name,Branch Name,MIS date)
2.Body(Customer Details)
3.Footer (File Name,Contians Total Number of Records and Number of Customers)
Like
CustomerDet_11-12-2013.csv,Chennai,11-12-2013
101,AAA,Savings,'M',10000
102,BBB,Current,'O',2000
103,CCC,Deposit Acct,'F',3000
CustomerDet_11-12-2013.csv,3,15000
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'm creating a file using UTL_FILE.FOPEN and UTL_FILE.PUTF
But I don't know the file I created is in which encoding ASCII, UTF-8, EBCDIC etc.
1.) How can I create files in my desired encoding using UTL_FILE?
2.) Does UTL_FILE use database encoding? If yes then how to find out database encoding?
3.) Which encoding is used by UTL_FILE by default?

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 ?

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.
How do I handle spaces in the path name of a file with PL/SQL? This is what I am trying to do.

Is there a special character I need to put in there for the spaces? How can I get this to work?
I am having problem with my tnsnames.ora file.seems the file cannot handle connection information for more than one DB. It worked fine in the beginning, after that, whenever i had to connect to a DB, i had to keep switching and renaming 5 files, with respect to whichever database I want to connect to. this is the entries in the file, for 2 D's and it wont work, with just one in each it works, but not for two...
newtpt =

(COMMUNITY = tcp)

I am sure, nothing wrong with teh IP/virtualname, cause with just one of these in the file, they work excellent.I tried leaving line between the connection strings for each DB, without leavin lines, etc..

View 6 Replies View RelatedWe 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'm trying to read the data from flat file and write data into multiple files based on the condition.

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?
i am using oracle 10g enterprise edition.whether its possible to read international characters from the text file using the utl_file function..?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI 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:

[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.
I have a stored procedure that does a "select name into v_name" SQL statement, which works fine. The only problem is when the query finds no data (the procedure will error because there is no value to put into the variable). Now i have a work around to this by running the query first with a count statement (which will always have results) and then if it is not equal to 0, then i will run the select into.
My question is, is there a better way to handle this kind of issue?
The following code is working fine,But the thing is if column already exists in the table,then also the other statements should be executed instead of coming out of procedure.SO how can I handle that exception??

we are using oracle database. We hold the company records in the database. The records of the company should be available at anytime but over years the database keeps growing. Now how to handle the old data. All the data is important but if this goes for few more years then we need more and more disk space to handle. Is there any efficient methodologies to handle the old data? For us old mean the data that is 10 year old.
