How to load external data without using external tables

Hi,
I'm asked to develop an ETL for loading external data into a database but, unfortunately, the vers. is 8i so I can't use external tables.
I know that it's possible by using SQL-Loader. What I want to know is whether there's another way in 8i to load external data from a text file or a CSV file directly with a stored procedure without having to write CTL of SQL-Loader on the server. I mean, is there a way to write everything on the database the same manner I'd do whether I wrote data from a table to a file using for example UTL_FILE or the unique way is to write control files of SQL-Loader directly on the server?
Thanks!

Thank you very much Karthick
I didn't know I could use UTL_FILE also for reading files. I've always use it only for writing data into external files.Yes you can use UTL_FILE to read. The version of oracle you are using i last used in 2004 :) Still remember giving the OS path of the file to open the file. That is long gone now. Its surprising that you are still in 8i.

How to load duplicate data to a temporary table in ssis

i have duplicate data in my table.i want to load unique records in one destination .and i want to load duplicate data in a temporary table in another destination. .how can we impliment package for this

Hi V60,
To achieve your goal, you can use the following two approaches:
Use Script Component to redirect the duplicate rows.
Use Fuzzy Grouping Transformation which performs data cleaning tasks by identifying rows of data that are likely to be duplicates and selecting a canonical row of data to use in standardizing the data. Then, use a Conditional Split Transform to redirect
the unique rows and the duplicate rows to different destinations.
For the step-by-step guidance about the above two methods, walk through the following blogs:

According to the invoice_id I have to insert the sum of amount in the amount column of primary table
can anyone plz give the codes .
any help appreciate

Hi,
you need to write pl/sql procedure or package for validiating the data and inserting.
first u need to know wat r the mandatory colums. and write the code igiving here a simple example
Create or replace procedure xxstg_po_vendors_int(errbuf out varchar2,retcode out number) IS
Cursor po_cur IS Select sno,VENDOR_NAME,SUMMARY_FLAG,ENABLED_FLAG From xxstg_po_vendor;
l_SUMMARY_FLAG Varchar(1);
l_ENABLED_FLAG varchar(1);
l_VENDOR_NAME varchar2(240);
l_err_msg varchar2(240);
l_flag varchar2(2);
l_err_flag varchar2(2);
Begin
Delete from Ap_suppliers_INT;
commit;
for rec_cur in po_cur loop
l_flag :='A';
l_err_flag:= 'A';
Begin
select summary_flag into l_SUMMARY_FLAG from po_vendors
where summary_flag = rec_cur.summary_flag;
Exception
when others then
l_summary_flag:= null;
l_flag:='E';
l_err_msg:= 'Summary_flag Does not Exist';
END;
FND_FILe.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.LOG,'Inserting data into interface table'||l_flag);
Begin
Select enabled_flag into l_enabled_flag from po_vendors
where enabled_flag = rec_cur.enabled_flag;
exception
when others then
l_enabled_flag:=null;
l_flag :='E';
L_err_msg:='Enabled_flag Does not Exist';
End;
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.log,'Inserting data into interface table'||l_flag);
FND_FILE.PUT_LINE(FND_FILE.log,'Inserting data into interface table'||l_flag);
INSERT INTO AP_SUPPLIERS_INT
( VENDOR_INTERFACE_ID,VENDOR_NAME,SUMMARY_FLAG,ENABLED_FLAG )
values(rec_cur.sno,rec_cur.VENDOR_NAME,rec_cur.SUMMARY_FLAG,rec_cur.ENABLED_FLAG);
l_flag :=null;
l_err_msg:=null;
end loop;

How to import weather data without using SSIS; only with SSRS

I am trying to develop a chart showing the weather data using SSRS. I do not have SSIS.
Is there a free web service that you can offer me? Also a brief step by step guide on how to provision it would be nice.
I am currently looking into http://graphical.weather.gov but have no idea how to use it with SSRS.
Please advise,
Thanks

I have created such a Report using Yahoo weather web Service and wrote a blog including downloadable example; it's in German, but you could use an online translator:

Call a external application without using a webservice

Hi all,
How can we make a call to external application without using webservice from BPEL or OSB.Please share any links to refer.
Thanks,
Kiran

Hi.
Probably the options:
1. Adapters. BPEL PM offers a different set of adapters that allows the process to communicate with external apps
2. PRobably a basic HTTP POST could be an option
3. Writing some code inside a Java Embedded activity
Which application are u trying to communicate with?
thx

How do i retrieve data from my external hard drive?

how do i retrieve data from my external hard drive?

If your hard drive can be detected and shows up as a drive letter in my computer but you can't access your files,then you can recover your data off it with data recovery software easily.This way is the easiest and the most inexpensive way to recover your data.If you bring it to a computer repair shop that is available for data recovery servise,they will cost you $500-1000 or more.Hmm, a lot of money.
I managed to recover data from crashed hard drive with Tenorshare Data Recovery.If needed,you can download it and scan your hard drive for free to preview whether your data can be recovered.It will show you thumbnails for recoverable pictures.

How to display table data without using ALV and table element.

Hi,
        Its possible to display table data without using ALV and table element.
       Every time i am fetching data based on (customer,status) fields and displaying these data in my output using alv
       (every time i am fetching single row data ),
       But problem is alv occupying more space in the output , i want to display data part only i dont want field names,
       settings and header data etc..things.
      Give solution to display data part..
Regards,
Rakhi.

Hi,
Does you mean that you need ALV without default Function Toolbar...? If this is the case, the easy solution would have been to use Table Element rather. But, if you need to use ALV only without Function Toolbar, you can do away with that as well.
In that case, after calling GET_MODEL, you need to add few more lines of codes to achieve your goal. Those lines are --
DATA LV_VALUE TYPE REF TO CL_SALV_WD_CONFIG_TABLE.
    LV_VALUE = LO_INTERFACECONTROLLER->GET_MODEL(
* Standard Filter Function setting to FALSE
    LV_VALUE->IF_SALV_WD_STD_FUNCTIONS~SET_SORT_COMPLEX_ALLOWED( ABAP_FALSE ).
    LV_VALUE->IF_SALV_WD_STD_FUNCTIONS~SET_FILTER_COMPLEX_ALLOWED( ABAP_FALSE ).
    LV_VALUE->IF_SALV_WD_STD_FUNCTIONS~SET_FILTER_FILTERLINE_ALLOWED( ABAP_FALSE ).
    LV_VALUE->IF_SALV_WD_STD_FUNCTIONS~SET_DISPLAY_SETTINGS_ALLOWED( ABAP_FALSE ).
    LV_VALUE->IF_SALV_WD_STD_FUNCTIONS~SET_VIEW_LIST_ALLOWED( ABAP_FALSE ).
    LV_VALUE->IF_SALV_WD_STD_FUNCTIONS~SET_SORT_HEADERCLICK_ALLOWED( ABAP_FALSE ).
    LV_VALUE->IF_SALV_WD_STD_FUNCTIONS~SET_HIERARCHY_ALLOWED( ABAP_FALSE ).
* Standard Filter Function setting to FALSE Ends
Here as you can easily notice that LV_VALUE is instantiated on CL_SALV_WD_CONFIG_TABLE. Now, using this LV_VALUE, you set standard functions as False to dis-allow their display.
Hope this answers your query.
Thanks.

My friend borrowed my old iPhone 4. I wanted to erase all the data but I dont have a password and my friend doesnt know his password. How can I erase the data without using a password?

My friend borrowed my iPhone. I want to sell the iPhone, but first I have to erase all the data that belong too my friend. I don't know his password and he doesn't know either. Is it possible to erase the data without using a password?
thanks!

You need the password if it is iCloud locked you won't be able to activate the phone for use.
As long as he remembers his email, you can reset the password
If you forgot your Apple ID password
or Forgot Apple ID
https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid
If it is a lock screen password, you can do a restore.
Hold down power and home for 10 seconds and release power but keep holding down home. iTunes will say your phone is in recovery mode so you can restore it.

How to load ODBC data?

I have just installed NI DIAdem 9.1 on Windows XP and am struggling with the inadequate documentation.
I have a local MySQL database server running, and have installed the MySQL ODBC driver.
I have defined an ODBC data source to provide access to my database.
Now how do I get DIAdem to use the ODBC connection?
There is no file, just a named ODBC source.
I am upset that this simple action is not described in the documentation. (Or I cannot find it.)

Hi Nick,
DIAdem can interact with your data base in two ways. You can open up the table and column hierarchy of your data base in the NAVIGATOR, which is nice because it shows you the whole data base and enables you to easily select which tables/columns you're interested in. What's not so nice is that the only thing you can do at that point is to load entire columns from your data base into the Data Portal. Most people have a data base for the particular reason that they want to query specific records out of selected columns, so it's rarely useful to load entire columns (though it makes for a good sales demo).
The second way that DIAdem can interact with your data base is through a VBScript which uses the "SQL_" ODBC functions. If you launch the DIAdem Help system and go to the "Index" tab, then type "SQL_" in the keyword field and hit the "Enter" key on your keyboard, you will find a healthy list of built-in SQL commands to communicate with external data bases using ODBC.
I am including my own personal list of SQL examples as well,

Is there any way to force the applet to load the file without using cache?

Hi,
I have the applet that renders some data from a file specified as the parameter. The problem is that the user can do something, that changes the input file and reloads the page, but the applet renders old data (from browser cache most probably)
Is there any way to force the applet to load the file without using cache?
Regards,
Zdenek

The initial view (IV) settings within a PDF file are static tags - they can't be made to dynamically-adapt based on the window dimensions,it's the renderer (Acrobat, Reader, or whatever else is opening the file) that decides if and how it will follow the IV requested by the file header.
It would be possible to use a Page Open action on the first page of the file, which does some nasty math with the various doc.*WindowRect objects to work out how much "wasted" space there is, and then set the doc.layout and doc.zoomType properties - but page actions are a different concept to IV as the zoom will reset itself every time that page is viewed. Users don't like their application apparently fiddling with the zoom level without being told to!
