How to load a txt file into a table

Hi,
I have a txt file
3 sample records:
25     fff     fff     2012-03-08 13:42:31.0     2012-03-15 14:58:31.0
26     ooo     ooo     null     null
27     ooo     ooo     2012-03-22 10:39:49.0     null
I have problems with the nulls:
my ctl is like that:
load data
append
into table table_name
fields terminated by '\t'
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' AND '"'
trailing nullcols
( ID CHAR(4000),
LITERAL CHAR(4000),
DESCRIPTION_WEB CHAR(4000),
FECHAALTA TIMESTAMP "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF1",
FECHAMODIFICACION TIMESTAMP "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS.FF1"
I get the following error because of the null:
Record 2: Rejected - Error on table MKT_WEB, column FECHAALTA.
ORA-26041: DATETIME/INTERVAL datatype conversion error
The table in the database:
ID     NUMBER(10,0)
LITERAL     VARCHAR2(40 CHAR)
DESCRIPTION     VARCHAR2(255 CHAR)
FECHAALTA     TIMESTAMP(0)
FECHAMODIFICACION     TIMESTAMP(0)
How can I say to the CTL about the nulls?
Thanks in advance

How to load a XML file into a table

Hi,
I've been working on Oracle for many years but for the first time I was asked to load a XML file into a table.
As an example, I've found this on the web, but it doesn't work
Can someone tell me why? I hoped this example could help me.
the file acct.xml is this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
<HEADER>
<STATUS_CODE>100</STATUS_CODE>
<STATUS_REMARKS>check</STATUS_REMARKS>
</HEADER>
<DETAILS>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>2</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>3</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic administration</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>4</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic finance</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>5</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic logistics</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
</DETAILS>
<HEADER>
<STATUS_CODE>500</STATUS_CODE>
<STATUS_REMARKS>process exception</STATUS_REMARKS>
</HEADER>
<DETAILS>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>20</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS> base polytechnic</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>30</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>40</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS> base polytechnic finance</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>50</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS> base polytechnic logistics</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
</DETAILS>
</ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
For the two tags HEADER and DETAILS I have the table:
create table xxrp_acct_details(
status_code number,
status_remarks varchar2(100),
segment_number number,
remarks varchar2(100)
before I've created a
create directory test_dir as 'c:\esterno'; -- where I have my acct.xml
and after, can you give me a script for loading data by using XMLTABLE?
I've tried this but it doesn't work:
DECLARE
acct_doc xmltype := xmltype( bfilename('TEST_DIR','acct.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8') );
BEGIN
insert into xxrp_acct_details (status_code, status_remarks, segment_number, remarks)
select x1.status_code,
        x1.status_remarks,
        x2.segment_number,
        x2.remarks
from xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
passing acct_doc
columns header_no      for ordinality,
          status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
          status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
) x1,
xmltable(
'$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS[$hn]/DETAIL'
passing acct_doc as "d",
          x1.header_no as "hn"
columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
          remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS'
) x2
END;
This should allow me to get something like this:
select * from xxrp_acct_details;
Statuscode status remarks segement remarks
100 check 2 rp polytechnic
100 check 3 rp polytechnic administration
100 check 4 rp polytechnic finance
100 check 5 rp polytechnic logistics
500 process exception 20 base polytechnic
500 process exception 30
500 process exception 40 base polytechnic finance
500 process exception 50 base polytechnic logistics
but I get:
Error report:
ORA-06550: line 19, column 11:
PL/SQL: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got NUMBER
ORA-06550: line 4, column 2:

06550. 00000 - "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
*Cause:    Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
and if I try to change the script without using the column HEADER_NO to keep track of the header rank inside the document:
DECLARE
acct_doc xmltype := xmltype( bfilename('TEST_DIR','acct.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8') );
BEGIN
insert into xxrp_acct_details (status_code, status_remarks, segment_number, remarks)
select x1.status_code,
        x1.status_remarks,
        x2.segment_number,
        x2.remarks
from xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
passing acct_doc
columns status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
          status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
) x1,

passing acct_doc
columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
          remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS'
) x2
END;
I get this message:

My oracle version is 10gR2 Express Edition
I do need a script for loading xml files into a table as soon as possible, Give me please a simple example for understanding and that works on 10gR2 Express Edition
Thanks in advance!

The reason your first SQL statement
select x1.status_code,
        x1.status_remarks,
        x2.segment_number,
        x2.remarks
from xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
passing acct_doc
columns header_no      for ordinality,
          status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
          status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
) x1,
xmltable(
'$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS[$hn]/DETAIL'
passing acct_doc as "d",
          x1.header_no as "hn"
columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
          remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS'
) x2
returns the error you noticed
PL/SQL: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got NUMBER
is because Oracle is expecting XML to be passed in. At the moment I forget if it requires a certain format or not, but it is simply expecting the value to be wrapped in simple XML.
Your query actually runs as is on 11.1 as Oracle changed how that functionality worked when 11.1 was released. Your query runs slowly, but it does run.
As you are dealing with groups, is there any way the input XML can be modified to be like
<ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
<ACCOUNT_GROUP>
<HEADER>....</HEADER>
<DETAILS>....</DETAILS>
</ACCOUNT_GROUP>
<ACCOUNT_GROUP>
<HEADER>....</HEADER>
<DETAILS>....</DETAILS>
</ACCOUNT_GROUP>
</ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
so that it is easier to associate a HEADER/DETAILS combination? If so, it would make parsing the XML much easier.
Assuming the answer is no, here is one hack to accomplish your goal
select x1.status_code,
        x1.status_remarks,
        x3.segment_number,
        x3.remarks
from xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
passing acct_doc
columns header_no      for ordinality,
          status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
          status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
) x1,
xmltable(
'$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS'
passing acct_doc as "d",
columns detail_no      for ordinality,
          detail_xml     xmltype       path 'DETAIL'
) x2,
xmltable(
'DETAIL'
passing x2.detail_xml
columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
          remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS') x3
WHERE x1.header_no = x2.detail_no;
This follows the approach you started with. Table x1 creates a row for each HEADER node and table x2 creates a row for each DETAILS node. It assumes there is always a one and only one association between the two. I use table x3, which is joined to x2, to parse the many DETAIL nodes. The WHERE clause then joins each header row to the corresponding details row and produces the eight rows you are seeking.
There is another approach that I know of, and that would be using XQuery within the XMLTable. It should require using only one XMLTable but I would have to spend some time coming up with that solution and I can't recall whether restrictions exist in 10gR2 Express Edition compared to what can run in 10.2 Enterprise Edition for XQuery.

Not a perfectly framed question. How do you want to load the XML file? Hoping you want to parse the xml file and load it into a table you can do this.
This is the xml file
karthick% cat emp_details.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<EMPNO>7782</EMPNO>
<ENAME>CLARK</ENAME>
<JOB>MANAGER</JOB>
<MGR>7839</MGR>
<HIREDATE>09-JUN-1981</HIREDATE>
<SAL>2450</SAL>
<COM>0</COM>

</ROW>
<ROW>
<EMPNO>7839</EMPNO>
<ENAME>KING</ENAME>
<JOB>PRESIDENT</JOB>
<HIREDATE>17-NOV-1981</HIREDATE>
<SAL>5000</SAL>
<COM>0</COM>
<DEPTNO>10</DEPTNO>
</ROW>
</ROWSET>
You can write a query like this.
SQL> select *
2    from xmltable
3         (
4            '/ROWSET/ROW' passing xmltype
5            (

How can I load a .TXT file into a dynamic text box?

I am sure that many people know how to load a .txt file into
a dynamic text box. But I do not. I want to be able to reference a
txt file from the server into the text box. So that when I change
the text file it changes in the flash movie without even editing
the flash file itself. Thank you.

How to load Matrix report data into basic table data using ODI

Hi,
How to load Matrix report data into basic table data using oracle Data Integrator ?
Requirement Description:
Following is the matrix report data:
JOB                       DEPT10                DEPT20
ANALYST                                           6000

JOB                             Dept                        Salary
ANALYST                  DEPT10

CLERK                       DEPT10                    1300
CLERK                       DEPT20                    1900
    Thanks for your help in advance. Let me know if any further explanation is required.

Your list seems to be a little restrictive, you can do a lot more with ODI procedures.
If you create new procedure, and add a step. In the 'command on source' tab set you technology and schema as per your source database. Use the unpivot functionality as described in the link, please, rather than using 'SELECT *' use the appropriate column names and alias them for eg:
SELECT job as job,
deptsal as deptsal,
saldesc as saledesc
FROM pivoted_data
UNPIVOT (
deptsal --<-- unpivot_clause
FOR saldesc --<-- unpivot_for_clause
IN (d10_sal, d20_sal, d30_sal, d40_sal) --<-- unpivot_in_clause
Then in your 'command on target' tab set the technology and schema to your target db, then put your INSERT statement for eg:
INSERT INTO job_sales
(job,
deptsal,
saledesc
VALUES
:job,
:deptsal,
:saledesc
Therefore you are using bind variables from source to load data into target.
Obviously if the source and target table are in the same database, then you can have it all in one statement in the 'command on target' as
INSERT INTO job_sales
(job,
deptsal,
saledesc
SELECT job as job,
deptsal as deptsal,
saldesc as saledesc
FROM pivoted_data
UNPIVOT (
deptsal --<-- unpivot_clause
FOR saldesc --<-- unpivot_for_clause
IN (d10_sal, d20_sal, d30_sal, d40_sal) --<-- unpivot_in_clause
also set the log counter as 'Insert' on the tab where your INSERT statement is, so you know how many rows you insert into the table.
Hope this helps.
BUT remember that this feature only came out in Oracle 11g.

Loading an XML file into the table without creating a directory .

Hi,
I wanted to load an XML file into a table column . But I should not create a directory in the server and placing the XML file there and giving the path in the insert query. Can anybody help me here?
Thanks in advance.

You could write a java stored procedure that retrieves the file into a clob. Wrap that in a function call and use it in your insert statement.
This solution require read privileges granted by sys and is therefore only feasible if the top-level directory/directories are known or you get read-access to everything.

How to load a BDB file into memory?

The entire BDB database needs to reside in memory for performance reasons, it needs to be in memory all the time, not paged in on demand. The physical memory and virtual process address space are large enough to hold this file. How can I load it into memory just before accessing the first entry? I've read the C++ API reference, and it seems that I can do the following:
1, Create a DB environment;
2, Call DB_ENV->set_cachesize() to set a memory pool large enough to hold the BDB file;
3, Call DB_MPOOLFILE->open() to open the BDB file in memory pool of that DB environment;
4, Create a DB handle in that DB environment and open the BDB file (again) via this DB handle.
My questions are:
1, Is there a more elegant way instead of using that DB environment? If the DB environment is a must, then:
2, Does step 3 above load the BDB file into memory pool or just reserve enough space for that file?
Thanks in advance,
Feng

Hello,
Does the documentation on "Memory-only or Flash configurations" at:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17076_02/html/programmer_reference/program_ram.html
answer the question?
From there we have:
By default, databases are periodically flushed from the Berkeley DB memory cache to backing physical files in the filesystem. To keep databases from being written to backing physical files, pass the DB_MPOOL_NOFILE flag to the DB_MPOOLFILE->set_flags() method. This flag implies the application's databases must fit entirely in the Berkeley DB cache, of course. To avoid a database file growing to consume the entire cache, applications can limit the size of individual databases in the cache by calling the DB_MPOOLFILE->set_maxsize() method.
Thanks,
Sandra

Comp-FreakFirst of all, you are going to have to sign your applet if you want access to the local file system (applets run on the client, not the server).
Second of all ... looking at your code, what is "date?" Is it a String (guessing based on your return value...) here is a simple routine to read a text file, line by line:
try {
   BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("myfile")));
   String input;
   while( (input = br.readLine() != null ) {
       System.out.println(input);
} catch (FileNotFoundException fnfe) { System.err.println("File not found."); }
   catch (IOException ioe) { ioe.printStackTrace(); }

How to load a java file into Oracle?

Hello,
I have some problem in loading a java file into Oracle 8i. I used "loadjava -user <userName/Password> -resolve <javaClassName>" command.
JAVA Version used JDK 1.5
When calling this class file from a trigger gives this error
ORA-29541: class ANTONY1.DBTrigger could not be resolved.
Can anyone help me to resolve this problem?

Hello,
Which username did you use to load the class, and which user is running the trigger?
The default resolver searches only the current user's schema and PUBLIC so the java class needs to be loaded into one of these.
cheers,
Anthony

Error loading local CSV file into external table

Hi,
I was wondering if someone could please point me in the right direction. I've been looking around the forum but can't find anything to help me achieve the following.
I would like to be able to upload a .txt file using a webpage. Then store the information inside this file into database tables.
eg. contents of mytextfile.txt:
richard
10 anywhere street, anytown, somewhere
111 222 333 444
joe
9 somestreet, elsewhere
999 888 777 666
peter
214 nearby lane, overhere
555 555 555 555
I would like to insert this data into a table.
eg. table name = CONTACTS
userid = primary key (using sequence)
username = (line 1 - richard, joe, peter)
address = (line 2)
phone_no = (line 3)
As you can see the records will appear 1 at a time and will have a blank line between records. Is there anyway for me to upload a file like this and have it placed into tables?
I have seen http://otn.oracle.com/products/database/htmldb/howtos/howto_file_upload.html but this seems to be for uploading a whole file and downloading the same file, rather than extracting data from the file.
I hope I have managed to explain my problem.
Many thanks,
Richard.

Richard,
HTML DB allows you to upload CSV files via the Data Workshop. That data would then be parsed and inserted into a specific table. Alternatively, if you have your data in an Excel spreadsheet, and it is less than 32k, you can copy & paste the data directly into HTML DB's Data Workshop, which will then parse and import it into the Oracle database.
The one obstacle you may have to overcome is converting your data from the format you outlined to CSV format. Specifically, you would have to make this:
richard
10 anywhere street, anytown, somewhere
111 222 333 444
Look something like this:
"richard","10 anywhere street, anytown, somewhere","111 222 333 444"
Hope this helps,
