How to import Data (For Dummies) into a table

I have a excel spreadsheet that is an export of an oracle database table. I want to now import that data into another Oracle Database (same table and format). What is the best way to do that. Someone told me t ouse SQL*Loader, but that is not as straightforward as I had hoped. I tried to use access, but I got an invalid argument on one attempt, and a Reserved Error (-2007) on another attempt.
Any help would be appreciated.

Now it seemed to run w/o the INSERT error this time, but now when I look at the log, i see the following errors:

How can I import data using .dmp into the table which has more columns then in import

I am building the history for warehouse purpose on Oracle 8i database and want to use the old import (.dmp) files (from oracle 7.3.4) to import data but the underlying table is having few more columns which are not in my old DMP file .. how can I import the data into these altered tables while using the same *.imp files .
Any solutions ?

That is the most obvious solution .. but think of the case when my operational database which is the source of my data is undergoing changes every quarter i.e after every 3 months there are some changes on underlying table structures which means structures of my import files will always be different after evry quarter .. you can imagine the number of temporary import structures I need to create .. can't there be a solution wherein I can write an SQL over the import file to read the data in required format ..

How to transfer data of RFC into Internal Table inside a WD4A program?

Hi Experts,
I have created WD4A program. This program calls RFC. The output of RFC has to populate a UI table. THe different cells of the table should have different color based on data.
I have gone through following link:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/707fb792-c181-2d10-61bd-ce15d58b5cf1
The above link fetches data from directly from table. Then it passes the data into internal table.
If I am using RFC, then how I can insert data of RFC into a internal table in WD4A program (se80 In drop down Web Dynpro Comp / Intf)
My motto is to have table ouput whose different cells should have different color based on data.
Please help.
Regards,
Gary
Edited by: Jason Lax on Dec 28, 2011 2:52 PM (Fixed broken link)

Hi Experts,
I have resolved the issue. I have created WD4A program. This WD4A program calls the RFC.
The RFC has a structure as export parameters called 'RESULT_FINAL'. I have altered the associated type of this table export parameter. I added Component 'Color' of component type 'WDUI_TABLE_CELL_DESIGN'.
In the RFC I have added some code. The code is as below:
loop at it_t1.
      select pernr from pa0000 into table it_t2 where pernr = it_t1-pernr and stat2 ='3'
      and begda <= sy-datum AND endda >= sy-datum.
      if sy-subrc = 0.
        result_final-org_unit = result_objec-objid.
        result_final-pernr = it_t1-pernr.
        result_final-name = it_t1-name.
        result_final-color = '02'.       append result_final.
      endif.
    endloop.
The line   result_final-color = '02'.
code returns Color.
In the WD4A program, I have changed the Cell Design property of selected table coloumn to Color.
This resolved the issue.
Thanks every one for the reply.
I have added above information for other SDN users.

How and put data frrom DB into JFrame.tables ?

hello,
I tried to get rows from a DB into a table. Therefore I created a class(A) with a function(a1) throws SQLException. Connect and select rows from the DB runs perfectly. Now I want to put this data into a table. I created another class(B) extends JFrame with an inner class(icB1) extends AbstractTableModel. From here I tried call A.a1 to get the rows but
1. the return type should be StringArray, how should i declare a function returning type stringarray and
2. I tried to put the data into a String, so that the return value is String(Iwould try sort the data after returning values) like
" icB1 extends AbstractTableModel { A.a1(); }" then i get the error msg: "java.sql.SQLException; must caught or declared to be thrown". Then i tried with this: " try { statement } catch { statement }" but it also doesnt func .. So how put I data from a DB into a table ? the main idea is to show and manage DB tables from the web. Many Thanks
regards erkan

Hi Erkan
Here's parts of a simple tutorial style app that shows how to easily get data from a DB into a table. Note that the code is incomplete and may have typos.
public class SQLHandler {
public List getData(String sql, List headers) {
    List result = new ArrayList();
    ResultSet rs = connection.executeQuery(sql);
    // Get column details
    ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rs.getMetaData();
    int columns = rsmd.getColumnCount();
    for (int i=0;i<columns;i++) {
      headers.add(rsmd.getColumnLabel(i+1));
    while(rs.next()) {
      Object array = new Object[columns];
      for(int i=0;i<columns;i++) {
        array[i] = rs.getObject(i+1);
      list.add(array):
    return result;
public class SQLDataTableModel implements AbstractTableModel {
private List data;
private List headers = new ArrayList();
public SQLDataTableModel(String sql) {
     data = sqlHandler.getData(sql,headers);
// abstract methods
public int getRowCount() {
    return list.size();
public int getColumnCount() {
    return headers.size();
public Object getValueAt(int row, int column) {
    Object[] array = data.get(row);
    return array[column];
// Create JTable and assign a model
JTable table = new JTable();
table.setModel( new SQLDataTableModel("select * from table")):cheers

How to import data from a text file into a table

Hello,
I need help with importing data from a .csv file with comma delimiter into a table.
I've been struggling to figure out how to use the "Import from Files" wizard in Oracle 10g web-base Enterprise Manager.
I have not been able to find a simple instruction on how to use the Wizard.
I have looked at the Oracle Database Utilities - Overview of Oracle Data Pump and the Help on the "Import: Files" page.
Neither one gave me enough instruction to be able to do the import successfully.
Using the "Import from file" wizard, I created a Directory Object using the Create Directory Object button. I Copied the file from which i needed to import the data into the Operating System Directory i had defined in the Create Directory Object page. I chose "Entire files" for the Import type.
Step 1 of 4 is the "Import:Re-Mapping" page, I have no idea what i need to do on this page. All i know i am not tying to import data that was in one schema into a different schema and I am not importing data that was in one tablespace into a different tablespace and i am not R-Mapping datafiles either. I am importing data from a csv file.
For step 2 of 4, "Import:Options" page, I selected the same directory object i had created.
For step 3 of 4, I entered a job name and a description and selected Start Immediately option.
What i noticed going through the wizard, the wizard never asked into which table do i want to import the data.
I submitted the job and I got ORA-31619 invalid dump file error.
I was sure that the wizard was going to fail when it never asked me into which table do i want to import the data.
I tried to use the "imp" utility in command-line window.
After I entered (imp), i was prompted for the username and the password and then the buffer size as soon as i entered the min buffer size I got the following error and the import was terminated:
C:\>imp
Import: Release 10.1.0.2.0 - Production on Fri Jul 9 12:56:11 2004

Enter insert buffer size (minimum is 8192) 30720> 8192
IMP-00037: Character set marker unknown
IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully
Please show me the easiest way to import a text file into a table. How complex could it be to do a simple import into a table using a text file?
We are testing our application against both an Oracle database and a MSSQLServer 2000 database.
I was able to import the data into a table in MSSQLServer database and I can say that anybody with no experience could easily do an export/import in MSSQLServer 2000.
I appreciate if someone could show me how to the import from a file into a table!
Thanks,
Mitra

Save the file from Gmail onto your computer and add it to iTunes. How you save from Gmail is a Gmail question (their own support pages), not an iTunes question.

How to import data into TimesTen from Oracle

I want to import data from Oracle into TimesTen,but not found tools provided by TimesTen. I hope TimesTen may convert Oracle's dump file(exp).
thanks for your suggest.

TimesTen cannot read Oracle's data pump export files.
If you are using Cache Groups to cache Oracle tables into TimesTen, then the LOAD CACHE GROUP statement will automatically load the data from Oracle into TimesTen for you.
If you are using TimesTen as a standalone database, then you can SPOOL out the Oracle table data into text files, and use them as data files to feed the TimesTen ttbulkcp command line utility. ttbulkcp is similar to SQL*Loader except it handles both import and export of data.
For example, the following command dumps the contents of the table foo from a TimesTen database mydb into a file called foo.dump.
ttbulkcp -o dsn=mydb foo foo.dump
The file foo.dump will give you an example of what the default ttbulkcp dump file format looks like. You can then generate a new dump file based on the above, but populate it using the data from Oracle.
The following command loads the rows listed in file foo.dump into a table called foo in database mydb, placing any error messages into the log file foo.err.
ttbulkcp -i -e foo.err dsn=mydb foo foo.dump
For more information on the ttbulkcp utility you can refer to the Oracle TimesTen API Reference Guide.
You can also use SQL Developer to export data from Oracle table into ttbulkcp file format, via the Export Data option. Please note that this option is meant for small tables say with a few thousand rows, exporting large tables can be slow in SQL Developer and could require a lot of client side memory.

after that i could not see the users nor the

and the following message appeared in the log file:

and only 2 new tablespaces (originally 3) were
created without any data in ( i check that in
the Oracle Storage manager : the tablespaces exit

so,
How to import data (with full import option) succefully

How to import data from excel or csv files to Oracle table

hello everybody,
I am new here and new in Oracle. I would like to know the steps how to import data from excel or csv files to Oracle table.
Let say I already have table inside the Oracle. Then my user give me the sets of data inside the Excel Worksheet.
So, how can I import the excel data into Oracle table.
Thank you in advance.
cheers,
shima

Even easier. Download JDeveloper 11G from this site.
Set up the database connection, right click on the table, select Import->Excel and specify your file to load it. On the import pop-up, you must view and update each tab indicating Columns, Data Types, and DML.
Columns -- move the selected columns that you want to load to the box on the right
Data Types -- select column name from second column to which the data for each column of the import file should load
DML -- click this tab to generate the INSERT SQL
Once done click 'Insert'

How to import data from CSV file with columns separated by semicolon?

I migrate database from MS SQL 2008 to ORACLE 11g
I export data to CSV file from MS SQL
then I try to import it to Oracle
several tables goes fine using Import data option in the SQL Developer
Standard CSV files with data separated by comma were imported.
chars, date (with format string), and integer data are imported via import wizard without problems
the problems were when I try to import table with noninteger numbers with modal part separated by comma not by dot
comma is the standard separator for columns in CSV file
so I must change the standard separator to semicolon
then the import wizard have problem to correct recognize the columns data because it use only standard CSV comma separator :-/
In SQL Developer 1.5.3 Tools -> Preferences -> Migration -> Data Move Options
I change "End of Column Delimiter" to ; but it doens't work
Is this possible to change the standard column separator for import data wizzard in SQL Developer 1.5.3?
Or maybe someone know how to import data in SQL Developer 1.5.3 from CSV when CSV colunn separator is set to semicolon?

A new preference has been added to customize the import delimiter in main code line. This should be available as part of future release.

How to populate data for 2LIS_40_REVAL, 2LIS_43_POSCAS and 2LIS_44_POSREC

Hi
How to populate data for 2LIS_40_REVAL, 2LIS_43_POSCAS and 2LIS_44_POSREC datasources at RSA3?
I'm very new to retail BI.
I think there is no setup tables for Retail infosources.
Any IDoc or BAPI activation is required or other procedure?
We are in BI-700 SAPKW70015 support pack R/3 side
and SAP_BW 700 Support pack SAPKW70016 &
BI_CONT 703 Support pack SAPKIBIIP9 BI side
Can anyone guide me how to load data?
Points assured
Thanks in advance
Ramana P

Dear Ramana,
There is no setup table for POSCAS and POSREC.This has to be popuated with a BADI Implementation.
As of PlugIns 2002_1_470 and 2002_2_470, POS data is update into BW the 2LIS_44_POSREC and 2LIS_43_POSCAS extractors using a BADI. To be able to update data into BW, the relevant implementation for the BADI must be activated in each case. You can activate the implementation in transaction SE19. The implementations are as follows:
POS_EX_REC_PI2003_1 for extractor 2LIS_44_POSREC
POS_EX_CAS_PI2003_1 for extractor 2LIS_44_POSCAS
Once the activation of BADI , create the back ground jobs for the 44 application and the data is pushed into Delta queue and it can be loaded into BI .
Hope this helps you.
Thanks,
Krishna Charan

MyTienN wrote:

What do you mean by "adjust"? Editing of Photoshop images should be done in Photoshop.
Sure, it's possible to save individual layers from an image in Photoshop as inidvidual files in a variety of formats, but what's the point? You could just as easily import the layered file, then copy/paste it into a new layer for each layer in the image and use layer visibility to control which ones show. I don't think that will do you a lot of good, though, if you use adjustment layers or opacity controls on the layer in Photoshop.
