External table and discarded rows

I need to load a table mapping an external table.
Sometimes some rows are discarded due to constraints violation or bad values in the file.
How is it possible to identify the discarded rows?
Is it possible to automatically create a file containing the
discarded records?
Thanks, Gio.

Before specify a location, you have to create/define directories in the database and set permissions on them.
Add the location(s) to OWB and register them.
Right click on the external table, choose CONFGURE.
Navigate to ACCESS SPECIFICATION. set the locations here.

Request: PL/SQL, External Table and SQL Loader

I see lately Questions asked in SQL and PL/SQL forum regarding SQL Loader and External Table are being moved to {forum:id=732}.
Being an PL/SQL developer for some time now i feel External Table (and if i may, SQL Loader and DBMS_DATAPUMP) are very much an integral part of a PL/SQL development and the question related to these topics are well suited in SQL and PL/SQL forum. Even in SQL and PL/SQL FAQ we have exclusive content that discuss on these topics {message:id=9360007}
So i would like to request the moderators to consider not moving such questions out of the SQL and PL/SQL forum.
Thanks,
Karthick.

SQL LOADER , EXTERNAL TABLE and ODBS DATA SOURCE

hello
Can any body help loading data from dbase file .dbt to an oracle 10g table.
I tried last day with SQL LOADER, EXTERNAL table , and ODBC data source.
Why all of these utilities still failing to solve my problem ?
Is there an efficient way to reach this goal ?
Thanks in advance

export the dbase data file to text file,
then you have choice of using either sql loader or external table option to use.

Compare 2 tables and insert rows missing in each table.

I have a tough situation. I have two exact tables- one online and one offline database. I know that there are missing rows of data from each table, so I need to make a comparison of one table and insert rows that do not exist. I was thinking to try this, but it took over 3 hours to run and did not return anything:
insert into t
select * from t a
where not exists (select * from [email protected] b
where a.col1 != b.col1
and a.col2 != b.col2
and a.col3 != b.col3);
and it goes on for another 7columns.
The trouble I have is to include a date clause so that the query can be broken down into running only a few months of data comparisions at a time- the records go back 4 years to compare. Also is there a way to write this so that it will query both tables at the same time in order to speed things up- or is one table at a time the best advice? Each table has over 100 million records to compare, that's why I was hoping to use a date criteria since one column is date.
Let me know what you advise to make this work, I hope I was on the right track.

Not sure if the MINUS operator will perform better with your data set but;
SQL> create table t1 (some_id number, some_date date)
Table created.
SQL> create table t2 (some_id number, some_date date)
Table created.
SQL> insert into t1 values (1, trunc(sysdate))

External table and newline character

I have an external table which is just a csv file, records delimited by newline and fields terminated by ','. However, the last column has a newline character appended to it. Is there an option in the external table syntax which will trim this?

Try setting 'REJECT ROWS WITH ALL NULL FIELDS'

External table and XML

Hi.
I have this XML-structure:
<order>
<orderhead>
<orderno>123</orderno>
<orderline>
<name>name_of_what_i_order</name>
</orderline>
<orderline>
<name>name_of_what_i_order</name>
</orderline>
</orderhead>
</order>
How can I get the <orderhead><orderno> when I'm making an external table for the <ordeline> elements? I use 'records delimited by "</orderline>"' to get all the orderlines in one tablerow each. But how can I insert the orderno in each of these rows?

Hi,
You need to practice or test by youself. Fortunately, I have a posting at http://www.oraclepoint.com/topic.php?filename=98&extra=page%3D1, which is a similar case I've done couple of years ago.
What I did are:
1. formating XML
2. Load to oracle table by using SQL*Loader
3. Parse elements one by one from entire xml large object from within oracle table
4. insert the parsed elements to oracle table
Hope it helps. By the way, please register and then log in at oraclepoint.com to get the solution package becuase it's only available for members.

External Table and Direct path load

Hi,
I was just playing with Oracle sql loader and external table features. few things which i ovserved are that data loading through direct path method of sqlloader is much faster and takes much less hard disk space than what external table method takes. here are my stats which i found while data loading:
For Direct Path: -
# OF RECORDS.............TIME...................SOURCE FILE SIZE...................DATAFILE SIZE(.dbf)
478849..........................00:00:43.53...................108,638 KB...................142,088 KB
957697..........................00:01:08.81...................217,365 KB...................258,568 KB
1915393..........................00:02:54.43...................434,729 KB...................509,448 KB
For External Table: -
# OF RECORDS..........TIME...................SOURCE FILE SIZE...................DATAFILE SIZE(.dbf)
478849..........................00:02:51.03...................108,638 KB...................966,408 KB
957697..........................00:08:05.32...................217,365 KB...................1,930,248 KB
1915393..........................00:17:16.31...................434,729 KB...................3,860,488 KB
1915393..........................00:23:17.05...................434,729 KB...................3,927,048 KB
(With PARALLEL)
i used same files for testing and all other conditions are similar also. In my case datafile is autoextendable, hence, as par requirement its size is automatically increased and hard disk space is reduced thus.The issue is that, is this an expected behaviour? and why in case of external tables such a large hard disk space is used when compared to direct path method? Performance of external table load is also very bad when compared to direct path load.
one more thing is that while using external table load with PARALLEL option, ideally, it should take less time. But what i actually get is more than what the time was without PARALLEL option.
In both the cases i am loading data from the same file to the same table (once using direct path and once using external table). before every fresh loading i truncate my internal table into which data was loaded.
any views??

Thanx to all for your suggestions.
John, my scripts are as follows:
for external table:
CREATE TABLE LOG_TBL_LOAD
(COL1 CHAR(20),     COL2 CHAR(2),     COL3 CHAR(20),     COL4 CHAR(400),
     COL5 CHAR(20),     COL6 CHAR(400),     COL7 CHAR(20),     COL8 CHAR(20),
     COL9 CHAR(400),     COL10 CHAR(400))
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY EXT_TAB_DIR
ACCESS PARAMETERS
(RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY WHITESPACE OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL
LOCATION ('LOGZ3.DAT')
REJECT LIMIT 10;
for loading i did:
INSERT INTO LOG_TBL (COL1, COL2, COL3, COL4,COL5, COL6,
COL7, COL8, COL9, COL10)
(SELECT COL1, COL2, COL3, COL4, COL5, COL6, COL7, COL8,
COL9, COL10 FROM LOG_TBL_load_1);
for direct path my control file is like this:
OPTIONS (
DIRECT = TRUE
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'F:\DATAFILES\LOGZ3.DAT' "str '\n'"
INTO TABLE LOG_TBL
APPEND
FIELDS TERMINATED BY WHITESPACE OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
(COL1 CHAR(20),
COL2 CHAR(2),
COL3 CHAR(20),
COL4 CHAR(400),
COL5 CHAR(20),
COL6 CHAR(400),
COL7 CHAR(20),
COL8 CHAR(20),
COL9 CHAR(400),
COL10 CHAR(400))
and ya, i have used same table in both the situations. after loading once i used to truncate my table, LOG_TBL. i used the same source file, LOGZ3.DAT.
my tablespace USERS is loaclly managed.
thanks

Why there is a huge difference between a row size on a disk based table and a row size in memoptimized table of SQL 2014?

Hi All,
I have two table with similar structure and data, one is on disk and the other is in memory. I somehow calculated the difference between a row size of on disk and in memory table and found that the row size of in memory is 700 Bytes more than the disk based
tables.
aa

As others mentioned, memory optimized tables and disk based tables have different structures in SQL Server 2014.
For memory optimized tables, the number of indexes on table also contribute to the size. You can calculate the exact size of rows and thus the table size using the formula given in the below articles
Table and Row Size in Memory-Optimized Tables

Updating multpile tables and multiple rows - JDBC adapter

Hi,
The scenario is like this. i receive an Idoc which has header information and various line items (multiple occurrance of a segment). the hearder details have to be sent to one table, TableA, and all line items has to go to another table, TableB, and for each line item, a new row has to be inserted in TableB.
How can i acheive this using JDBC adapter? how should my data type look like? what are the settings i need to do in adapter config?
Thanks and Regards,
Rashmi

Hi Rashmi,
You can use the following link for the JDBC adapter call :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/ae/d03341771b4c0de10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm
You need to provide the JDBC Driver, Connection,User Name and the password.
The data type structure you can take from the Bhavesh blog:
JDBC Receiver Adapter -- Synchronous Select Step by Step
Since you just need to update the tables, take only the sender side of the blog, i.e. the request part and configure the scenario accordingly.
Regards,
Sanjeev.

Opening a IDML File with a table and 1000 rows simply hangs

Hello,
1. I generate IDML files that consist of a table with (1000 rows*9 columns) colour formatted cells. When I try to open the file it just hangs at "Open Document".
So you're probably thinking, there's something wrong with my IDML File?
2. I "place" an equivalent spreadsheet from Excel, with formatting. It transfers correctly. I save it as a IDML file, when I go to reopen this file, same problem as above.
3. In step 2, If I instead save the file as a INDD, the INDD file re-opens correctly & fast.
Our company catalogue has about 11728 rows * 9 columns.
I have a strange sense of Dejavu, and it all seems to be pointing to the way INDESIGN handles (or doesn't handle) XML

thx

Sorry for the wall of text!!
Ya, i figured a non indesign solution was the way to go. Hence the LaTeX (Typesetting) + php thing. It didnt need to be in a table, but it needed to appear like a "table" format. Cells with each cell having borders etc and it will eventually go to print.
IDX!? I'll need to investigate this file format
Well not necessary to use excel, or tables, since I pull the information out from a MySQL database anyway. I wanted to use IDML because once the file format is just simple XML and extremely easy to manipulate. My awesome theory was, if it was already in a table format, that would make it even easier to manipulate - all i would need to do is write php code to add new rows (Directly into the file). A designer could make the IDML file template file for us, and I could write a script that populates the data directly into it.
We tried other methods such as merging XML into tag placeholders but while that worked fantastically on small amounts of data it grinded to a halt+crash on large amounts of data.
Ideally we wanted designers to make a template, and I.T. to just come along and insert the data accordingly. It also needed to be perfectly print accurate without alot of messing around. XSLT would be an interesting alternative, but our designers are again not very XSLT / EXCEL/ XML / X-Anything savvy. It would still need to be a programmers nightmare to get it to appear correctly (eg. mine).
Thanks for pointing out additional alternatives! There are some good things I had not considered.
Although I have found some additional benefits using LaTeX; Automatic Index, and table of contents (Sweet!) - it also handles any required text wrapping.
I think I'm flagging this thread as more of a bug thread than a request for a solution
We were looking into purchasing indesign server for some future endeavours but if I have no confidence in the desktop version of indesign, how can I be assured that the server version of indesign wont just cause the company more headaches down the line

External Table and HTTP

All,
Is it possible to specify a URL as the location of a file for an external table? (e.g. http://www.somesite.com/somedir/somefile.csv)
For some organizations, getting files onto the actual Oracle server is a difficult process because they tend to be managed externally, often by an entirely different group from the ones doing the DBA work. NFS, FTP drop-zones, etc. all seem to be considered security risks. Being able to pull directly across a protocol would be a very nice feature.

You need to specify a directory object from where the file is being read by external table. May be you can try creating a directory object which maps to the directory in the network. It may work if the directory is accessible from the server.

Refresh adf table and selection row

Hi,
I create web application. I have created entity Users from MySQL database and managed Bean. In this managed Bean (sessionScope) is method for connection to database and method for adding new row (data) in database. It works.
I have 2 problems.
The first.
I have form for adding User and commandButton Add.
How I can refresh (update) adf table after executing SQL command (in commandButton Add) ? Now I must reconnect session.

Aggregate table and outdated rows

hi everybody,
let´s assume the following scenario:
- one fact table, one aggregator, one target aggregate table with a sum column.
- aggregate table loading type is set to "insert/update", update matching is done on several columns.
- first load is started, aggregated data is correct, no problems so far
- one column is updated in the fact table (all rows)
- now we´ve got a new attribute set which doesn´t match a row at the aggregate table, so a new row is inserted
- the aggregate table now contains two rows, but only one is valid
how can i avoid this without truncating the aggregate table before loading? do i have to delete outdated aggregate rows before/after loading, or is there any other solution?
thanks for your help,
peter

>
Why can't you just update that collumn in your target table if you don't need the previous version of that row?

thanks for your suggestion.
but this can cause "ORA-30926: unable to get a stable set of rows in the source tables" - or am i wrong about this?
a more detailed explanation:
fact table t_src:
SQL> select * from t_src;
S1 S2
A   Bproperty "match column when updating row" on columns a1 and a2 of aggregation table t_agg are set to "Yes".
aggregate table t_agg contains these rows:
SQL> select * from t_agg;
A1 A2         NUM
A   B            1now t_src is updated:
SQL> update t_src set s1='B' where s1='A';
1 row updated.
SQL> select * from t_src;
S1 S2
B   Bafter the next load table t_agg looks like this:
SQL> select * from t_agg;
A1 A2         NUM
A   B            1
B   B            1if i want to update column A1, i have to remove matching from there - which leads to ORA-30926 when loading next time.
thanks,
peter
