Comma after variable record length
Hi guys,
Can you tell me if it is possible (and how I should have my control file) to process a loader file that has a comma (CSV) after the byte length? I can't get it to work.
e.g
Example file record:-
00047,1,MR SMITH,20 ANY STREET, ANY ADDRESS, ANY TOWN
COLUMNS = "ID,NAME,ADDRESS1,ADDRESS2,ADDRESS3"
So my infile reads
infile 'example.dat' "var 5"
but the only examples I have of using record length is where there is no comma separating the record length from the first field, ie in this format:
000471,MR SMITH,20 ANY STREET, ANY ADDRESS, ANY TOWN
I cant change the input data format, so any help to cater for this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hello, I think you need to add a FILLER field, like this:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'example.dat' "VAR 5"
TRUNCATE INTO TABLE t1
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
DUMMY FILLER,
ID INTEGER EXTERNAL,
NAME CHAR,
ADDRESS1 CHAR,
ADDRESS2 CHAR,
ADDRESS3 CHAR
)

Hi All,
I wrote one delete command .This command deletes 20 millions of records.But I want to give "commit" after deleting every 100000 records. How to give "commit" for this requirement.
please guide me.
Thank you.Depends on your delete statement.
Sometime you can group the delets into logical units.
Compare and consider the following three approaches.
1) This deletes all data from all previous months.Delete from myTable where insertDate < trunc(sysdate,'mm'))
2) Delete each month separately and commit in between.Delete from myTable where insertDate < trunc(sysdate,'year'));
commit;
Delete from myTable
where insertDate >= trunc(sysdate,'year'))
and insdate < add_months(trunc(sysdate,'year'),1) -- "january"
and insdate < trunc(sysdate,'mm')) -- do not delete too much!
commit;
Delete from myTable
where insertDate >= trunc(sysdate,'year'))
and insdate < add_months(trunc(sysdate,'year'),2) -- "February"
and insdate < trunc(sysdate,'mm')) -- do not delete too much!
commit;
Delete from myTable
where insertDate >= trunc(sysdate,'year'))
and insdate < add_months(trunc(sysdate,'year'),3) -- "March"
and insdate < trunc(sysdate,'mm')) -- do not delete too much!
commit;
Delete from myTable
where insertDate >= trunc(sysdate,'year'))
and insdate < add_months(trunc(sysdate,'year'),12) -- "December"
and insdate < trunc(sysdate,'mm')) -- do not delete too much!
commit;
3) Delete based on ID and logical groups
Select min(id), max(id) into v_min, v_max
from myTable where insertDate < trunc(sysdate,'mm'));
for i in 1..trunc(v_max-v_min)/100000)+1 loop
delete from myTable
where id >= v_min+((i-1)*100000)
and id < v_min+(i*100000)
and id <= v_max
and insertDate < trunc(sysdate,'mm')) -- this line is not really needed, maybe remove it depending on the execution plan.
commit;
end loop; -

Hi
My oracle version is oracle 9i
I need to commit after every 2000 records.Currently am using the below statement without using the loop.how to do this?
do i need to use rownum?

How to create variable record length target file in SAP BODS
Hi All
I have a requirement to create target file which will have various record layout; meaning different record length (similar to cobol file format), but this is for the target. Please let me know what is the best practice and how to solution this requirment.
Thanks
AshHi Shiva,
Thanks for your feedback. My issue is that I have 10 different detail records (each record type is fixed length).
For each customer account, I have to write to file the header record, the detail records in the exact order, then continue with next account and so on and then write the trailer record. I have given sample layout below. Highlighted text is the record identifier in this exmaple while the underlineds are account numbers. Fields are fixed length right padded with space or 0.

External table, fixed columns and variable record length..
Hi all,
I'm trying to create an exernal table of a txt-file. Te records are delimited by newlines and the field lengths are fixed. But...
When one or more of the last columns are missing the record is truncated.
Here's the problem: the access parameter "missing field values are null" doesn't seem to work here.. And all incomplete lines are rejected!
Any ideas??Well, seems like I was on a wild goose chase here.
The original version of the file was not in UTF8 but in ANSI. But for some reason somebody thought it was necessary to convert the file to UTF8.
So, although my question isn't answered yet, my problem has been solved. -
About procedure to commit after 1000 rows
i have procedure
and a cursor c1 is select emp table and
insert into copy_emp table
but i want to commit after 1000 record;
with exception handling
plz help me with example
thanksEverything you have described is either bad practice in all currently supported versions or bad practice in every version since 7.0.12.
Cursor loops have been obsolete since version 9.0.1.
Incremental commiting, for example every 1,000 rows, has always been a bad practice. It slows down processing and manufactures ORA-01555 exceptions.
For demos of how to properly process data sets look up BULK COLLECT and FORALL at http://tahiti.oracle.com and review the demos in Morgan's Library at www.psoug.org.
For a long list of good explanations of why you should not do incremental commits read Tom Kyte's many comments at http://asktom.oracle.com.
Incremental commits may make sense in other products. Oracle is not other products. -
Need to commit after every 10 000 records inserted ?
What would be the best way to Commit after every 10 000 records inserted from one table to the other using the following script :
DECLARE

l_max_rept_id x_received_p_trans.rept_id%TYPE;
BEGIN
SELECT MAX (repa_id)

WHERE rept_repa_id = l_max_repa_id;
INSERT INTO x_p_requests_arch
SELECT *
FROM x_p_requests
WHERE pare_repa_id <= l_max_rept_id;
DELETE FROM x__requests
WHERE pare_repa_id <= l_max_rept_id;1006377 wrote:
we are moving between 5 and 10 million records from the one table to the other table and it takes forever.
Please could you provide me with a script just to commit after every x amount of records ? :)I concur with the other responses.
Committing every N records will slow down the process, not speed it up.
The fastest way to move your data (and 10 million rows is nothing, we do those sorts of volumes frequently ourselves) is to use a single SQL statement to do an INSERT ... SELECT ... statement (or a CREATE TABLE ... AS SELECT ... statement as appropriate).
If those SQL statements are running slowly then you need to look at what's causing the performance issue of the SELECT statement, and tackle that issue, which may be a case of simply getting the database statistics up to date, or applying a new index to a table etc. or re-writing the select statement to tackle the query in a different way.
So, deal with the cause of the performance issue, don't try and fudge your way around it, which will only create further problems. -
Append variable and array items after a record array search
I would like to update a variable and array item after a record array search, and wanted to know what would be the best way of carrying it out in Javascript.
In this case, if a match is found between the variable and area item, then the postcode item should be appended to the variable.
The same needs to be done for the array items, but I reckon that a for loop would work best in this scenario, as each individual item would need to be accessed somehow.
Btw due to the nature of my program, there will always be a match. Furthermore, I need to be able to distinguish between the singleAddress and multipleAddresses variables.
Hopefully this code explains things better:
// before search
var singleAddress = "Mount Farm";
var multipleAddresses = ["Elfield Park", "Far Bletchley", "Medbourne", "Brickfields"];
// this is the record which the search needs to be run against
plot = [{
postcode: "MK1",
area: "Denbigh, Mount Farm",
postcode: "MK2",
area: "Brickfields, Central Bletchley, Fenny Stratford, Water Eaton"
postcode: "MK3",
area: "Church Green, Far Bletchley, Old Bletchley, West Bletchley",
postcode: "MK4",
area: "Emerson Valley, Furzton, Kingsmead, Shenley Brook End, Snelshall West, Tattenhoe, Tattenhoe Park, Westcroft, Whaddon, Woodhill",
postcode: "MK5",
area: "Crownhill, Elfield Park, Grange Farm, Oakhill, Knowlhill, Loughton, Medbourne, Shenley Brook End, Shenley Church End, Shenley Lodge, Shenley Wood",
// after search is run then:
// var singleAddress = "Mount Farm, MK1"
// var multipleAddresses = ["Elfield Park, MK5", "Far Bletchley, MK3", "Medbourne, MK5", "Brickfields, MK2"]

How to load unicode data files with fixed records lengths?
Hi!
To load unicode data files with fixed records lengths (in terms of charachters and not of bytes!) using SQL*Loader manually, I found two ways:
Alternative 1: one record per row
SQL*Loader control file example (without POSITION, since POSITION always refers to bytes!)<br>
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET UTF8
LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR
INFILE unicode.dat
INTO TABLE STG_UNICODE
TRUNCATE

Implementing these two alternatives in OWB, I encounter the following problems:
* How to specify LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR?
* How to suppress the POSITION definition?
* How to define a flat file with variable length and how to specify the number of bytes containing the length definition?
Or is there another way that can be implemented using OWB?
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks,
Carsten.Hi Carsten
If you need to support the LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR clause in an external table then one option is to use the unbound external table and capture the access parameters manually. To create an unbound external table you can skip the selection of a base file in the external table wizard. Then when the external table is edited you will get an Access Parameters tab where you can define the parameters. In 11gR2 the File to Oracle external table can also add this clause via an option.
Cheers

Fixed record length with GUI_DOWNLOAD
Hi All,
In our current system we set global variables GLOBAL_FIXLEN_* by calling form SET_FIXLEN(SAPLGRAP). This allows us to create ASCII download files using function module WS_DOWNLOAD that have a fixed record length of 160 as required by the bank.
We are now going to a unicode system and WS_DOWNLOAD is being replaced by GUI_DOWNLOAD. How can I continue to create a fixed record length of 160 using this function module? I cannot find any similar GLOBAL_FIXLEN* variables in GUI_DOWNLOAD.
Thanks in advance for suggestions,
KirstenHi,
Kirsten,
I find form "set_trail_blanks" also not available in GUI_DOWNLOAD.

Maximum record length in internal table?
Is there a maximum record length in an internal table? Please note: My question is NOT related to table space. I'm referring only to the length of an individual record (A.K.A. row length).
I am using a work area to insert data into an internal table. Both the work area and internal table are defined by the same structure.
The structure has a total length of 672 bytes. For the sake of this discussion I'll point out that at the end of the structure, bytes 669, 670, 671, and 672 are four separate fields of 1 character each.
When viewing the work area record in the debugger I'm seeing all the fields and all the values. When viewing the internal table in the debugger after a record is inserted, the internal table ends with the field defined at Byte 670. The internal table does not include the two fields defined at Bytes 671 and 672.
Am I to assume from the above explanation that the length of a record ( A.K.A. row) in an internal table cannot exceed 670 bytes?
Thank you.Manish,
False alarm! While, technically, you didn't answer my question, your request for code ended up helping me answer my own question.
To provide you with some code I wrote a simple test program using the record layout referred to above, with a DO loop to put some records into the internal table, followed by a LOOP AT, with accompanying WRITE statements to display the contents of the internal table and demonstrate that the last two fields weren't being stored.
However, when I ran the test program, the last two fields were being displayed.
It was at that point, when stepping through the debugger that I noticed the scroll arrows above the last column of my internal table that allowed me to scroll to the right and see my final two fields.
Apparently, because of the large number of fields in my internal table I had reached the default display length of the debugger. While I was obviously aware of the scroll bar found at the bottom of the display, I had never worked with an internal table of that width in the past and hadn't even noticed the scroll arrows above the last column before.
Thanks for taking the time to respond helping me get to the solution. -
Execution does not end even after all records updated..
Hi,
I have plsql code like :
declare
begin
for x in ( select .......) loop -- about 4000 times
for y in ( select ............) loop -- about 50 times
end loop;
-- some code goes here to manipulate clob data
-- like creating free temp clobs - use - then free them
-- Update statement that update some table using clob values.
insert into tablex values(sysdate);
commit;
end loop;
end;
Here I can monitor from other window howmany records are inserted into tablex and howmany updated in update statement by...
select count(1) from tablex;
After 50 mins i can see that all records are updated but...
plsql code does not end its execution it continues even after all records are updated..untill i have to kill the session or let be run for long time.. :(
I can not understand why this it is not ending execution..
What could be the problem ...Hi,
Here it is.....
declare
v_text_data TableA.text_data%type;
v_clob clob;
type dummyclob_t is table of clob index by binary_integer;
dummyclob dummyclob_t;

begin
select data bulk collect into dummyclob from sfdl_clob; -- five rows containing clob data upto 1MB
for x in (select object_id
from TableA
where object_type = 'STDTEXT' ) loop
dbms_lob.createtemporary(v_text_data,TRUE);
for y in (select '<IMG "MFI_7579(@CONTROL=' || ref_id || ',REF_ID=' || ref_id || ').@UDV">' temp_data

v_text_data := v_text_data ||
case
when trunc(dbms_random.value(0,7)) = 0
then chr(10)
else v_str
end ||
y.temp_data;
end loop;
select text_data into v_clob from TableA where object_id = x.object_id for update;
if v_text_data is not null then
dbms_lob.append(v_clob,v_text_data);
end if;

Where are my videos? Ipad videos not saving after long recording time.
I have been trying to set my ipad up as a surveillance camera to observe animal activity at night at my zoo. However, after letting the video app record for an hour or more, it shows that I have used storage space, but the video is not in my photos/videos folder. I am using the light boost app, and it appears to be recording properly. I have successfully recorded videos 10 mins in length, but if I let it run for a long period of time, the videos do not appear.
Is there a limitation on the recording length? Why would it show the app has used up all my memory when the videos are not being saved? Or are they being saved in some mysterious place?
Additionally, does anyone know of a better way to do this? I have a very limited budget, and am trying to avoid buying expensive surveillance equipment or video cameras.
ThanksAccording to Light Boost the videos are being stored in the Photos - Camera Roll to which you must give access permission see Settings > Privacy. Permission to use the microphone is also necessary.
If you are having problems contact Light Boost for help.

How to use loop to commit each 1M records?
oracle 9i
40M records need to be insert the table. Need to commit each 1M. But I don't want to loop each record and commit. I like to select 1M records and commit. Then select another 1M, then commit; How to do it? use savepoint?
Appreciate any ideas.
Thanks
S.You can achieve that using anonymous block using a for loop and couter but it not a good idea to commit after 1 million or 100k as you will be putting more overhead on your system and performance will be down.

Hi
Iam inserting around 2.5 mmillion records in aconversion project
let me know how i can commit after every 10000 rows please can u tell me whether i can use bulk insert or bulk bind because i have never used please resolve my problem.
Thanks
Madhuas sundar said, per link of TOM you are better of not commiting in th loop other wise it will give you snapshot too old error,
still if you want
1. set the counter to 0. ct number:=0;
increment counter in the loop ct:=ct+1;
IF ct=10000 THEN
COMMIT;
END IF;
2. you can use bulk collect and FORALL also. and commit.
but still follow the tread as per TOM
