Loading a CSV file into a table as in dataworkshop

Question

Data Workshop has a feature to load a CSV file and create a table based on it, similarly i want to create it in my application.
i have gone through the forum http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=334988&start=60&tstart=0
but could not download all the files(application , HTMLDB_TOOLS package and the PAGE_SENTRY function) couldnt find the PAGE_SENTRY function.
AND when i open this link http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=27746
I couldn't run the application. I provided a CSV file and when I click SUBMIT, I got the error:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PLS-00201: identifier 'HTMLDB_TOOLS.PARSE_FILE' must be declared
tried it in apex.oracle.com host as given in the previous post.
any help pls..,
any other method to load data into tables.., (similar to dataworkshop)

Answer 1

hi jari,
I'm using the HTMDB_TOOLS to parse my csv files,It works well for creating a report, but if i want to create a new table and upload the data giving error *"missing right parenthesis"*
I've been looking through the package body and i think there is some problem in the code,
        IF (p_table_name is not null)
        THEN
          BEGIN
            execute immediate 'drop table '||p_table_name;
          EXCEPTION
            WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
          END;
          l_ddl := 'create table '||p_table_name||' '||v(p_ddl_item);
          htmldb_util.set_session_state('P149_DEBUG',l_ddl);
          execute immediate l_ddl;
          l_ddl := 'insert into '||p_table_name||' '||
                   'select '||v(p_columns_item)||' '||
                   'from htmldb_collections '||
                   'where seq_id > 1 and collection_name='''||p_collection_name||'''';
          htmldb_util.set_session_state('P149_DEBUG',v('P149_DEBUG')||'/'||l_ddl);
          execute immediate l_ddl;
          RETURN;
    END IF;it is droping table but not creating new table.
P149_DEBUG contains create table EMP_D (Emp ID number(10),Name varchar2(20),Type varchar2(20),Join Date varchar2(20),Location varchar2(20))and if i comment the
          BEGIN
            execute immediate 'drop table '||p_table_name;
          EXCEPTION
            WHEN OTHERS THEN NULL;
          END;
          l_ddl := 'create table '||p_table_name||' '||v(p_ddl_item);
          htmldb_util.set_session_state('P149_DEBUG',l_ddl);
          execute immediate l_ddl;then it is working well, i.e i enter the exsisting table name then i works fine, inserting the rows.
but unable to create new table
can you pls help to fix it.
