Control file for United States Geometry

Has anyone built a control file to load all of the United States? I have tried dumping all of the STATES GEOM data out of the Demo, but to clean it up and use it in a control file to load it into a new table I need to dump it into Excel. Excel hits its limit on column numbers when trying to create the Row for Alaska.
does anyone have any other ideas on how I can do this.
Thanks in advance!

Hi again Richard,
Again dumping the GEOM data from STATES table in the demo
the output looks like this:
Arizona AZ
SDO_GEOMETRY(3, NULL, NULL, SDO_ELEM_INFO_ARRAY(1, 3, 1), SDO_ORDINATE_ARRAY(-114.0498, 37.000423, -113.48438, 37, -112.8986, 37.000401, -112.5396, 37.000683 ........................etc..
To format the data from the demo so I can create a bulk load control file, it needs to be in the form of:
BEGINDATA
2003|Arizona|AZ|-112.5396|37.000683|-112|37.000977|-111.41205|37.001514|-111.13302|/
etc.....
this is what I am trying to accomplish, and why I would need Excel, or another tool, to help with the correct formatting.
The reason for this is that the GEOM data needs to be loaded into a different table on a different server, I only have the demo running on my local machine. I need to create this control file so I can create my own table on the production server and develop from that version of the database.
Hope that clears things up, thanks again.

Lost 2 of 3 Control Files for 8i - Can I recover?

I had a hard drive crash and lost 2 of my 3 CONTROL files for my 8.1.6 database. I do have a backup, but I also have a 9i database on this machine and am afraid I will have to reinstall both of them. Is there a way that I will be able to restore my database (aka rebuild the control files) from just ONE Control File?
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

That's the reason you have 3 control files - so that you can recover from losing one of them. In theory (and also in practice) all 3 control files are exact copies of each other. Just copy the remaining one to the location(s) where Oracle is expecting to see the other 2 controlfiles.

When purchasing on Apple TV, gives error "Only for United States customers"

I am a United States customer and I have my Apple TV in the US and it works fine along with the new update that I got last night.
It is connected via ethernet 100mbs lan and 'sees' my iTunes 7.6 on my computer (Windows XP) just fine.
Sync works... plays YouTube just fine... all is great EXCEPT!!!!
I cannot make ANY purchases from my Apple TV... is says something like:
"...only for United States customers"
and then it bombs out.
Anyone else have this issue?

Thank for you the quick reply...
Yes, I have setup to default to the USA...
And I have also setup Apple TV to connect to the US Itunes store.
I have not changed anything, but it seemed to correct itself just a minute ago.
Weird.
I changed nothing, then it starting working by itself.

12c Create Control File for Entire CDB (CDB-root + PDBs)

Hi,
In 12c, I understand that there is a single redo log and a single control file for an entire CDB. My question is what datafiles should I use to create control file for the entire CDB. According to Managing Control Files, I suppose I should use all the datafiles (the result of query from CDB-Root: select name from v$datafile), but in practice, the control file creation process can only be successful when I use CDB-Root databfiles. Thanks in advance for any advice.

The actual error message is duplicate tablespace (system, sysaux), but the root-CDB and PDBs should have separate system and sysaux. The following is the script I used.

Concatenate positions in control file for sql*loader utility.

Is there a way to concatenate several character positions in a control file for sql*loader???
example... field1 position(1:3) || position(5:7) ????
I would rather not create any unnecessary temp tables for a straight load...

How about...
/code
field1 position(1:7) char "substr(:field1, 1, 3) || substr(:field1, 5)"

Bursting control file for Printer not working in WINDOWS ENVIRONMENT

Hi,
We are trying to print xml publisher report output (PDF) using bursting control file. Is not wokring.
We are using ebs (R12.1.1) on Windows environment.
Any pre-requisite setup (ie. cups config) should be done before printing using control file. Please guide me i am not having knowledge in printer setup and printer part..
Thanks in advance

Hi Hussein,
Yes, I am able to print seed concurrent report (o/p -text) to that printer (method:- giving the printer name and copies by clicking " Option " in SRS window.. )
When i do the same for xml publisher publisher report to the same printer , its not working using bursting control file.
I too made the test in xml publisher report without bursting control file , there i faced another new issue. Let me explain
1. We are using RDF as data source . here o/p :-" XML "
2. We are using RTF as layout. In template definition, i chose the default o/p type as :- "HTML"
3. When i submit the request, i choose the printer which is working fine for printing seeded report. (method:- giving the printer name and copies by clicking " Option " in SRS window.. )
4. My printer getting prints HTML tag, instead of desired o/p. I wondered after seeing the printout.
5. I cross checked by clicking view output, its showing me the exact html output as per RTF layout.
Dont know wat happening ??? Help me out.
i did the same for changing default output type in template definition to RTF,PDF.. its printing source code of the output type instead of printing output.
Thanks & Regards,

I am getting error while creating Control file for a fla file upoad in HANA

p935718 is my user ID, COPATBL is my table created, COPABL.CSV is a flat file.
Please help me in this regard.
Thanks,

Hello,
guessing from the error message it looks that you are trying to execute "import data" as SQL command.
Please note that import data is NOT SQL command but it is syntax for control file. You need to create file with this syntax on server and then use command: IMPORT FROM '/<path>/<filename>.ctl'
In a shortcut:
1.- create comma separated CSV file with your data - <source cvs>.csv
2.- upload CVS file to HANA server
3.- create the control file <filename>.ctl:
import data
into table <schema>."<table name>"
from '<source cvs>.csv'
record delimited by '
fields delimited by ','
optionally enclosed by '"'
error log '<file name>.err'
4.- execute command:
IMPORT FROM '/<path>/<filename>.ctl'

Need help in writing the control file for SQLLOADER

Is it possible to error out the Sqlloader in case the data fields in the data file for a row are more than the fields stated in the control file?
i.e. My data file is something like
aaa,bbb,cc
dd,eee
And my ctl file has just 2 columns in it. Is it possible to write a control file which will cause the Sqlloader to error out?
Thanks...

Creating a standby control file for cloning a standby database

Hi
I am in the process of trying to document the cloning of a standby database. I am trying to amalgamate three different documents - one for a normal clone, one for the creation of a SB database, and the other a formal Oracle document - the Business Continuity doc.
Among the several things that confuse me, is the issue of creating (or not) a standby control file.
I am not doing any kind of data file deletion / copying from source to target, as the SB database is updated all day with data file changes. I am doing a complete copying over of the APPL_TOP and techstacks.
My question then, is this: should I be worried about creating a standby control file? I am told by our Senior here that "you can get away with not doing it", which sounds like too much of a risk to me.
I am under a bit of pressure for this and I am not 100% sure about certain issues (see my other post for knowing how many DATA_TOPS we have on the SB, for instance).
Thanks for listening.

Do you already have a Standby running ? (then it may be using a standby controlfile).
Yes. And there is already a standby control file there. It seems to me, that if the data (logs) transfers are done each minute or whatever between source and SB, and the SB is a copy of the db, then we dont need to worry about any kind of data files, since they should be identical. The only things I will need to change are the configuration files like the ifile in both dbs and tns_names, listener, tnsnames.ora, and the init.ora.
b. Are you creating a document about the process of creating standby from production ? If you plan to use DataGuard, you will need a standby controlfile. Otherwise , it depends on how you configure the standby.
No. I am creating a doc for how to clone from Production to a SB environment. A reason behind this is that the Apps side of the SB is about 9 patches behind the Production box, and we need to update it. I believe this is the main reason for doing this.
c. Just to check : You are NOT using Storage Mirroring -- ie D.R. ?
No, no DR on this environment.
Thanks.

No autobackup of control file for rman

This is what I used for a backup of database. I do not have controlfile autobackup set, I back it up using rman commands. Backup is made to a third party media manager.
I tried to restore and it cannot startup mount the database, it can only nomount the database. I am assumming this is because it cannot find the control file.
Is it possible to recover the controlfile if autobackup not on ? I did make a backup current controlfile with the rman script below .. Is it possible to get back the database at all ..
