SQL & PL/SQL :: Read Excel File Using UTL_FILE Package

Jul 23, 2010

Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.1.0.6.0 - 64bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.1.0.6.0 - Production
"CORE 11.1.0.6.0 Production"

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 ?

Create File With (other) User Having Read Permission When Using Utl_file?

Dec 23, 2012

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

SQL & PL/SQL :: Moving Files After Using UTL_FILE Package?

Feb 21, 2013

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.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Updating A File With UTL_FILE

May 3, 2010

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.

SQL & PL/SQL :: File Encoding UTL_FILE

Apr 21, 2011

I'm using

Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options

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?

SQL & PL/SQL :: Loading Unique Text File Names With Utl_file

Oct 9, 2012

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.

SQL & PL/SQL :: Single Excel File For Emp Table Department Wise In Different Sheets Of Excel

Mar 30, 2012

I need to generate a single excel file which each department details in seperate sheets of the excel file, each sheet should ne named with department no (ex :Dept_10, Dept_20,Dept_30) and the main excel should be named as Emp_details.

Header row and total row should be in bold.I have created 3 individual excels thru toad and moved them to single excel and renamed the sheets.

Can we programatically do this thru SQL or PL/SQL, does Oracle provide any build packages for excel.As excel files cannot be uploaded,I am unable to upload the excel file I generated manually.

select to_char(empno) empno,ename,job,mgr,hiredate,
nvl(sal,0) sal,nvl(comm,0) comm,nvl(sal,0) + nvl(comm,0) "Total Income" ,deptno
from emp
where deptno = 10
union all
select 'Total',null,null,null,null,sum(nvl(sal,0)),sum(nvl(comm,0)),sum(nvl(sal,0))+sum(nvl(comm,0)),null

SQL & PL/SQL :: Read File On Local Machine?

Jun 27, 2012

From a script how I can read a local file (where I have the sql client)?

I have an Oracle database on a server, and I connect from another machine with SQL Developer.I want to read a text file on my local machine ( where I run my script) to use the data in the script.I never want to read or write on the server.

Reading on internet i read about UTF_FILE package But what is not clear to me is, this is on the server or client ?Also some people says UTF_FILE can work both on client side and server side.Also I read about package text_io, but I think it is only for forms.
