SQL & PL/SQL :: Extra Characters While Utl_file.get_line()
Jul 21, 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"
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?

how to get the count from Client_Text_Io.Get_Line??
For Example :
Client_Text_Io.Get_Line(vOutFile,voutput);
vBaris := voutput + 1;
If vBaris = 3 then
v_reg := SUBSTR (voutput, 1, 3);
tanggal := SUBSTR (voutput,1, 4);
v_outlet := SUBSTR (voutput, INSTR (voutput, ',', 4) + 1, 3);
v_refer := SUBSTR (voutput, INSTR (voutput, ',', 6) + 1, 4);

create table test
(
name varchar2(50),
descd varchar2(50)
)
insert into test values ('kethlin','da,dad!tyerx');
insert into test values ('tauwatson','#$dfegr');

I have this SQL that returns the correct amount of rows which should be 2:
Select Distinct A.File_Name, A.File_Desc, A.file_location,
A.location_date, A.downloaded_date, A.downloaded_id, A.file_size,
A.days_to_request, B.File_Name, B.Act_Date, B.date_loaded
from SDT_LOG A Inner Join ACTIVITY_LOG B
On A.file_name = B.file_name
and A.downloaded_date = B.date_loaded
I need to add another field in the Select query which is B.Act_Code. When I do, I get 2 extra rows. I do not know how to make these rows distinct.
The A table's structure is along with sample data for 1st record:
CODE Example of
Name Type 1st record.
---- ------- --------------
FILE_NAME VARCHAR2(50) STLMK.txt
FILE_DESC VARCHAR2(50) NON-RESIDENT
FILE_LOCATION VARCHAR2(50) L:\NonResFiles
YEAR NUMBER(4) 2008
LOCATION_DATE DATE 10/10/2007
DOWNLOADED_DATE DATE 09/04/2008 9:17:00 AM
DOWNLOADED_ID VARCHAR2(50) Cindy
FILE_SIZE CHAR(10) 16212
DAYS_TO_REQUEST NUMBER(3) 60
The B table's structure is along with sample data for 1st record:
CODE Example of
Name Type 1st record
---- ------ -----------
FILE_NAME VARCHAR2(50) STLMK.txt
ACT_CODE CHAR(2) D
ACT_DATE DATE 10/10/2007
ACTIVITY_ID VARCHAR2(50) downloaded on
DATE_LOADED DATE 09/04/2008 9:17:00 AM
The second record of activity would all be the same except Cindy would be "Jason", act_code would be an "S", activity_id would be "sent on" and then of course the dates would be changed to whenever the new information was saved within the system.
I am getting something like this (shortened of course):
CODEFile_name Downloaded_ID Act_Code
STLMK.txt Cindy D
STLMK.txt Cindy S
STLMK.txt Jason D
STLMK.txt Jason S
There should only be one row for Cindy with a D act_code and one row for Jason with an S act_code. For some reason, Cindy and Jason each get a row with the different act_code. I'm retrieving 4 rows instead of two when I use B.Act_Code in the SQL statement.
Cindy should have the D Act_Code because she downloaded that file name and Jason should have the S because he sent that file to someone else. Every time a file's activity changes, it is entered into the system so we can keep track of where the files are.

I need to copy records from a working table to a history table. I have the following sql statement
insert into test.history
(equip_ID, state, manufacturer, install_year, capacity,
group_ID, Test_status)
select (equip_ID, state, manufacturer, install_year, capacity,
group_ID, Test_status
from test.info_AP
Table test.history has one more field in it called test_year. I need to fill this field when I do the insert. Can't use an after update trigger as the field is currently set to not allow nulls.

Once I add an extra column to link the two tables the number of rows is reduced by one, however when I try to get this extra record I find none matching the same criteria that led to reducing the records.
SQL> SELECT count(*)
2 FROM N_CONTRACT NC, N_WITHDRAWAL_REQUEST NWR
3 WHERE NC.fk_temP_withdrawal_req_serial = NWR.SERIAL_NUMBER;
COUNT(*)

I am modifying a stored proc that i wrote a couple of years ago. The change is that i want certain inputs to accept strings of characters (comma delimited) so they can be parsed and processed in the proc. The problem is, when i pass very little data (about 50 characters) It fails saying the character sting buffer is to small.
I have setup the input as a type of a column that is a clob and i have also tried using just vahrchar2 (with no size set).

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 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?

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.

I'm trying to read the data from flat file and write data into multiple files based on the condition. The value of each line is checked with the Flag Table (Id NUMBER, FlagType VARCHAR(25), Flag CHAR(1)), If the Flag is True then new file has to be created and corresponding line has to be moved into new file otherwise it has to continue with the same file.

I've a query that sum up data from one table. But I've to convert them into rows.
Summary query result.
COL1 COL2 COL3 COL4
1000 2000 3000 4000
Test Table creation script.
CREATE TABLE TEST_TBL
(
COL1 NUMBER(14,2),
COL2 NUMBER(14,2),
COL3 NUMBER(14,2),
COL4 NUMBER(14,2)
) ;
INSERT INTO TEST_TBL VALUES( 1000, 2000, 3000, 4000 ) ;
Expected result
A1 1000
A2 2000
A3 3000
A4 4000
A1, A2, A3, A4 are hard coded fixed values.
I could have done this but not a good idea in case table TEST_TBL is not a single row table but an inline query on 1,00,00,000 records with summary functions. In my table I've a summary query instead of single row table.
SELECT 'A1', COL1 FROM TEST_TBL
UNION ALL
SELECT 'A2', COL2 FROM TEST_TBL
UNION ALL
SELECT 'A3', COL3 FROM TEST_TBL
UNION ALL
SELECT 'A4', COL4 FROM TEST_TBL

p_filename is event.xls
