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.

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 ?

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.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE rw_demo (File_In VARCHAR2, File_out VARCHAR2) IS
InFile utl_file.file_type;
OutFile utl_file.file_type;
vNewLine VARCHAR2(4000);
i PLS_INTEGER;
j PLS_INTEGER := 0;
SeekFlag BOOLEAN := TRUE;

I 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:
SQL> select * from all_directories;
OWNER DIRECTORY_NAME DIRECTORY_PATH
------- ------------------------------ -----------------------------------
SYS SLIKE_4005_UPLOAD d:gisslike_4005_upload --> on a database server
SYS SLIKE_4005 \my-iasd$homegisslike_4005 --> on an application server
SQL>
I can use a directory located on a database server:
D:GISSlike_4005_upload>dir photo_resize.*
Volume in drive D is RAID
Volume Serial Number is 88F2-69D2
Directory of D:GISSlike_4005_upload
[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.

We're currently in a situation where the primary database server fs size does not match the standby database server fs size.
Standby database filesystem is almost 100% utilized, and we suggested to move some of the datafiles first to avoid threshold alerts and archive gaps.
Now, if we're gonna move datafiles on the physical standby, I believe the process would be stop managed redo apply -> shutdown standby -> OS move -> startup mount -> alter rename -> start managed redo apply. Is this correct? If not, how?
Also, would it have an effect if the controlfiles of primary and standby do not match because of the movement?

Accidentally without checking the channel allocation I have given the backup archivelog from sequence until sequence with delete input. This backup piece went to the disk but it should go to Tape.I know that we can catalog this backup piece but I want to move this backup files in disk to Tape using RMAN. Is there anyway or I have to lie with Backup team or OS team for this file movement?

I am using Oracle RAC 11gR2.I am planing to move my old trace files to an archive location.
I have the below questions concerning the users and groups used by Oracle RAC when moving the trace files.It is related to the permissions but it is about oracle behavior.
The trace files of database (oracle user) are created as below:
284 -rw-r----- 1 oracle asmadmin 283571 Aug 20 18:08 PPRD1_mmon_13893716.trc
4 -rw-r----- 1 oracle asmadmin 125 Aug 20 18:10 PPRD1_gcr0_11730998.trm
4 -rw-r----- 1 oracle asmadmin 2833 Aug 20 18:10 PPRD1_gcr0_11730998.trc
580 -rw-r----- 1 oracle asmadmin 588489 Aug 20 18:12 PPRD1_lmhb_15859792.trm
[code]....
when moving the files using the oracle user it will be created as oracle:oinstall and not oracle:asmadmin since asmadmin is not a group of the oracle user.
1. How oracle created my trace and log files with permission oracle:asmadmin?
2. How should I move these files? I moved it using the Oracle user and it was created as oracle:oinstall with Operating system error "unable to duplicate owner and mode after move"

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?

i am trying to read the file, for which i m using the following:

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 have written make files that compile .pc files in unix. This was for several projects that use an oralib source code directory.Just running proc on one target .pc file works fine on unix. I am trying to use proc - Oracle 10.2.0 - in windows and I keep getting:
Quote:unable to open include file
#include <stdio.h>
and other C library headers.
I am doing all development under cygwin, this way I can write a makefile just like under unix instead of using nmake.All C library headers are in /usr/include When I run proc on Solaris as that:
proc program.pc
No problems, and I do get program.c.
However in windows I get the previous error message. I have tried to do proc include=/user/include program.pc and proc include=/user/include parse=full program.pc but I still get the same error message.

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.

Now all the procedures inside the package which catch this exception in the EXCEPTION block work fine. I would like to be able to use that exception outside of my package as well though, how would I do this?
