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 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 just started working for a company and am modifying existing reports. This report has a logo in the layout in the form of an image. Is there a way to find out where this image is located? It cannot find the image when I open the layout or run the report so I assume I am not mapped to the drive/directory where the images are located? Is this information noted anywhere in the actual report?
I try to current redo log file location to multiplex redo log configuration. I did do this on the DB.I import a backup file to DB when I made this change, but its too slow running import process from old configuration. Approximately it is 4 times slow.
when I recovery old configuration for redo log file, import process is normal running...Why this changes hit to DB import process performance? The old redo log file location is below:
I need to take RMAN full backup by every Sunday night and Wednesday night . I have the netbackup script which will take the backup to media.
Question is:1. We have 15 - backup scripts for 15 DB in that server , so if i configure crontab for backup do i need to give all 15 scripts one by one or (*) will work . ie) 00 20 * * 3,7 /app/oracle/rman/scripts/hot_db_<sid>.sh
instead of this if i give : 00 20 * * 3,7 /app/oracle/rman/scripts/hot_db_*.sh then it will works fine or not ? 2.
Already my backup will create .output file in the same location , do i need to give output file location in crontab using ( > ) ? 3.
Is the above crontab timing is correct ? (3,7) for Wednesday and Sunday 8pm? so Sunday is 0(zero) or 7 ?
I was wondering if there is any way to know in which Tablespace and Datafile my Table is located. I have exported a table and about to delete it as i am partitioning it.
We have taken export expdp backup from prod database (primary database- Data Guard).
1.) Import impdp is very slow 10GB/Hrs on staging database (Data Guard MAXIMUM AVAILBILITY)Since Server configuration, database version and configuration, operating system everything are same as production. No blocking, locking or waiting sessions
2.)import impdp is fast 90GB/Hrs on Test standalone database and this test database is running in NOARCHIVE LOG mode with oracle standard version after that no more difference.
CPU,Memory,network and disk I/O are look normal while importing on both databases.why that much difference on import.

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:
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 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 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'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:

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"*
I have an oracle autoback of controlfile and spfile. I am trying to restore the production database using this backup, into a new server with a different directory structure.
I have completed the following steps in the restore process.
1. Creating a pfile from spfile
2. Changing the the location of cdump, udump, bdump and the control files ( there are three )
3. Then creating a spfile from this pfile
I am stuck on the next step where to rename all the datafiles and tempfile and restore the database. Following is what I did.
After mounting the database in RMAN, tried to run the following.
RMAN> run 2> { 3> allocate channel c1 device type disk 4> ; 5> @/home/oracle/rman_scripts/newloc.rman 6> SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 1 TO '/u02/oradata/dorian/system01.dbf'; 7> SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 2 TO '/u02/oradata/dorian/undotbs01.dbf'; 8> SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 3 TO '/u02/oradata/dorian/sysaux01.dbf'; 9> SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE 4 TO '/u02/oradata/dorian/users01.dbf';
[code]....
I am getting the following error message.
