How to Load table from client file in C?

Hi all,
I'm trying to determine how to write a C program to load a client file with the "load table ... using client file..." syntax without calling out to the dbisql program to load the table.  I'm probably not seeing the forest for the trees here.  I know I can use the bulk api (equivalent of bcp) but would rather use the load table because it is much faster.

There is nothing special to do - you execute the statement from your program just like any other SQL statement.  The only thing to be aware of are the privilege/permission issues:
When loading from a file on a client computer:
READ CLIENT FILE privilege is also required for the database user.
Read privileges are required on the directory being read from.
The allow_read_client_file database option must be enabled.
The read_client_file secure feature must be enabled.
Revoking these privileges is also the only way you can prevent a user from executing the statement.

    could anyone please advice me on above error.
    thanx.

    First of all, is file located on (or is accessible from) database server? If not - you can't load it neither with UTL_FILE nor with external table. You need to use client side tool like SQL*Loader or write your own client side load. If file is accessible from database server, then, as sb92075 noted, external table (assuming you are not on some ancient Oracle version) is the way to go.

  • Error while loading table from flat file (.csv)

    I have a flat file which i am loading into a Target Table in Oracle Warehouse Builder. It uses SQL Loader Internally to load the data from flat file, I am facing an issue. Please find the following error ( This is an extract from the error log generated)
    SQL*Loader-500: Unable to open file (D:\MY CURRENT PROJECTS\GEIP-IHSS-Santa Clara\CDI-OWB\Source_Systems\Acquisition.csv)
    SQL*Loader-552: insufficient privilege to open file
    SQL*Loader-509: System error: The data is invalid.
    SQL*Loader-2026: the load was aborted because SQL Loader cannot continue.
    I believe that this is related to SQL * Loader error.
    ACtually the flat file resides in my system ( D:\MY CURRENT PROJECTS\GEIP-IHSS-Santa Clara\CDI-OWB\Source_Systems\Acquisition.csv). I am connecting to a oracle server.
    Please suggest
    Is it required that i need to place the flat file in Oracle Server System ??
    Regards,
    Ashoka BL

    Hi
    I am getting an error as well which is similar to that described above except that I get
    SQL*Loader-500: Unable to open file (/u21/oracle/owb_staging/WHITEST/source_depot/Durham_Inventory_Labels.csv)
    SQL*Loader-553: file not found
    SQL*Loader-509: System error: The system cannot find the file specified.
    SQL*Loader-2026: the load was aborted because SQL Loader cannot continue.
    The difference is that Ashoka was getting
    SQL*Loader-552: insufficient privilege to open file
    and I get
    SQL*Loader-553: file not found
    The initial thought is that the file does not exist in the directory specified or I have spelt the filename incorrectly it but this has been checked and double checked. The unix directory also has permission to read and write.
    Also in the error message is
    Control File: C:\u21\oracle\owb_staging\WHITEST\source_depot\INV_LOAD_LABEL_INVENTORY.ctl
    Character Set WE8MSWIN1252 specified for all input.
    Data File: /u21/oracle/owb_staging/WHITEST/source_depot/Durham_Inventory_Labels.csv
    Bad File: C:\u21\oracle\owb_staging\WHITEST\source_depot\Durham_Inventory_Labels.bad
    As can be seen from the above it seems to be trying to create the ctl and bad file on my c drive instead of on the server in the same directory as the .csv file. The location is registered to the server directory /u21/oracle/owb_staging/WHITEST/source_depot
    I am at a lost as this works fine in development and I have just promoted all the development work to a systest environment using OMBPlus.
    The directory structure in development is the same as systest except that the data file is /u21/oracle/owb_staging/WHITED/source_depot/Durham_Inventory_Labels.csv and everything works fine - .ctl and .bad created in the same directory and the data sucessfully loads into a oracle table.
    Have I missed a setting in OWB during the promotion to systest or is there something wrong in the way the repository in the systest database is setup?
    The systest and development databases are on the same box.
    Any help would be much appreciated
    Thanks

  • How to load Material from Flat File and convert to SAP Format

    Hi
              I am loading 0Material values from Flat File for mapping purpose. The format of Material in Flat File is "7704132". Within the system, i need to compare the value with 0Material values from the incoming data and update corresponding 0Material in records. for this purpose, I created dummy materials taking 0Material as template and trying to load data. I am getting invalid error- Version '7704132' is not valid RSDMD No194. Can anyone please let me know how to over come this issue. Should I include any routine in the data source or rules level. I am in BI 7.0.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Use the FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT to convert the value into Internal format .Use this FM in the Transformations (field mapping).
    Search the forum with CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT for more information on this.

  • How to load images from client side when the swf is hosted on a server without uplaoding it to server?

    I'm trying to build a online image resize tool.
    problem i face are:
    1. I build a button that allow user to browse the file. Once
    file is selected, it doesnt show full path.
    2. lets say if it shows fullpath, but i try to load it into a
    movieclip, and it doesnt work because the swf file is located at
    the server and not the client's place.
    3. as far as i know, flash can only load images which is
    located in the same server or internet.
    4. if i use php, asp, cgi.. it can only allow me to 1st
    upload the image then resize later, but this is not wat i want.
    5. I need to 1st resize then upload later, because if i have
    100 and more photos taken from digicam, it's going to be very slow
    and heavy.
    What i have tested:
    1. upload "image3.jpg" into the same directory as the
    "viewer.swf", and it works.
    2. do not upload the swf to the server, but run locally from
    the user's computer and open "image3.jpg" and it works.
    3. upload the swf to the server and open "image3.jpg" from
    the user's computer and IT DOESN"T WORK!
    please help me out.
    Thanks~!

  • How to load properties from csv file directly into a .dll parameter in a test step

    Hi,
    I would like to take values from a property file  and plug them directly into parameter used to invoke dll calls.
    I have looked at examples on how to use the property loader to input test limits, but I cannot figure out how to pipe into the params.
    I have tried. <step name>.Module.<param name>
    step.propertieslist[0].
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    m
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I agree that it would be nice.  The difference between limits and parameters though is that parameters are set dynamically.  What I mean by that is you never know how many parameters a step will have until you define the module. Whereas the Limits are always set in stone.  The only difference is the MultiNumeric Limit Test which is just an array that get's appended too with the same datatype.  And the only acess to a parameters value is through the API unless it is a variable.
    The other hard part is that you don't know the datatype of parameters.  Any step can have any number of parameters as well as any datatype being passed to each individual parameter. 
    I think if you are set on NOT creating Locals or FileGlobals then you would need to create custom step types with subproperties that get assigned to the parameters.  This could be even more painful though because now you have to maintain and support the custom step types.
    The other option would be to create your own property loader step that could call in and set things in the API.  HMMM now that would be an interesting project...

  • How to load class from jar file dynamically?

    After I run my Java applicatoin, I need configuring the classpath of jvm to load some classess inside a jar file into the same jvm.How can I achive that?

    Can you tell my why and how?

    You can start by looking at java.net.URLClassLoader.

  • How to create table from .ini file

    Hi,
    The file *.ini generates a Multicolumn Listbox where is indicated a number (variable) of tables with them characteristics (row and column) as in the picture below.
    I need to find the way to create automatically, on word file, the tables as indicated in the *.ini file. Do you think that it could be possible? That you know, exist a Macro to do this?
    Best regards

    As Taki said above, to do this you need to use the Report Generation Toolkit. This will allow you to generate tables in a word document. Look for the examples in the LabVIEW Help for a rough idea of how to use the toolkit and if you have any specific questions after that then feel free to post them here.

  • SQL Loader to Load Multiple Tables from Multiple Files

    Hi
    I wish to create a control file to load multiple tables from multiple files
    viz.Emp.dat into emp table and Dept.dat into Dept table and so on
    How could I do it?
    Can I create a control file like this:
    OPTIONS(DIRECT=TRUE,
    SKIP_UNUSABLE_INDEXES=TRUE,
    SKIP_INDEX_MAINTENANCE=TRUE)
    UNRECOVERABLE
    LOAD DATA
    INFILE 'EMP.dat'
    INFILE 'DEPT.dat'
    INTO TABLE emp TRUNCATE

    deptno)
    INTO TABLE dept TRUNCATE
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY "|" OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
    (deptno,
    dname,
    dloc)
    Appreciate a Quick Reply
    mailto:[email protected]

    Which operating system? ("Command Prompt" sounds like Windows)
    UNIX/Linux: a shell script with multiple calls to sqlldr run in the background with "&" (and possibly nohup)
    Windows: A batch file using "start" to launch multiple copies of sqlldr.

  • Step by Step details on how to load data from a flat file

    hi can anyone explain how to load data from a flat file. Pls giv me step by step details. thnx

    hi sonam.
    it is very easy to load data from flat file. whn compared with other extrations methods...
    here r the step to load transation data from a flat file.......
    step:1 create a Flat File.
    step:2 log on to sap bw (t.code : rsa1 or rsa13).
    and observe the flat file source system icon. i.e pc icon.
    step:3 create required info objects.
    3.1: create infoarea
         (infoObjects Under Modeling > infoObjects (root node)-> context menu -
    > create infoarea).
    3.2:  create char /keyfig infoObject Catalog.(select infoArea ---.context menu --->create infoObject catalog).
    3.3:   create char.. infoObj and keyFig infoObjects accourding to ur requirement and activate them.
    step:4 create infoSource for transaction data and create transfer structure and maintain communication structure...
        4.1: first create a application component.(select InfoSources Under modeling-->infosources<root node>>context menu-->create  applic...component)
       4.2: create infoSource  for transation data(select appl..comp--.context menu-->create infosource)
    >select O flexible update and give info source name..

    >* DATASOURCE *
    >O SOURCE SYSTEM: <BROWSE AND CHOOSE YOUR FLAT FILE SOURCE SYSTEM>.(EX:PC ICON).
    >CONTINUE.
    4.5: DEFINE DATASOURCE/TRANSFER STRUCTURE  FOR IN FOSOURCE..
    > SELECT TRANSFER STRUCTURE TAB.
    >FILL THE INFOOBJECT FILLED WITH THE NECESSARY  INFOOBJ IN THE ORDER OR SEQUENCE OF FLAT FILE STRUCTURE.
    4.6: ASSIGN TRANSFER RULES.

  • How to load hierarchy from file into InfoObject with compounding Attr & LN

    Hi,
    I have created an InfoObject called YCOSTC0 which has a compounding attribute 0CO_AREA. and Text is Lanugage dependent, hence the key is YCOSTC0, 0CO_AREA and LANGUAGE, now when i load hierarchy from flat file as mentioned below, it creates duplicate blank rows in master data table, becuase the flat file contains only the YCOSTC0 Info Object and this data gets loaded into 0CO_AREA column in master data table which is the first column. how can i load hierarchies from flat file into an InfoObject that has a compounding attribute and Language dependent. please provide me a sample file structure with data.
    NodeID     InfoObject     Node Name     Link Name     Parent ID     Language     Short Text     Medium Text     Long Text
    1     0HIER_NODE     CC_HIER               EN     Cost Center Heirarchy     Cost Center Heirarchy     Cost Center Heirarchy
