Map excel columns to oracle table column using forms 6i

Hello,
I am importing data from excel to oracle table using oracle forms 6i.
Suppose my table have 3 columns id, name,sal. The excel sheet i am importing having
3 or more colums, also excel sheet columns are not in order as per table columns.
i.e my table have id, name, sal
and excel have name, sal, id
my question is how can i map excel colums with table colums and insert it into table.
I am using oracle 6i forms (ole2 package).
Thanks

What was wrong with the first answer to the same question?

Map Excel worksheet into Oracle tables in repository

I am new to VB2005. I am working on VB code that can map(read) any table from excel worksheet and load it into Oracle tables. Oracle tables that I have are: 1)META_OBJECTTYPES
(OBJECTTYPEID pk,OBJECTTYPENAME,OBJECTTYPEDESC, OBJECTMETATYPE,OBJECTDOMAIN).
2) META_OBJECTS(OBJECTKEY PK,OBJECTTYPEID FK,OBJECTNAME,OBJECTDESC).
3)META_OBJECTDEPENDENCIES(SRCOBJECTKEY FK, TGTOBJECTKEY FK,DEPENDENCYTYPE PK)
4)META_OBJECTATTRIBUTES
(OBJECTKEY FK, OBJECTATTRNAME PK,OBJECTATTRVALUE).
NOTICE META_OBJECTTYPES IS PARENT TO META_OBJECTS AND META_OBJECTS IS PARENT TO (META_OBJECTDEPENDENCIES AND META_OBJECTATTRIBUTES) AND ALL PARENT HAS 1 TO MANY REALTIONSHIP TO CHILD TABLES. For example, I have employee table in Excel worksheet that has two columns employee_id number, employee_name varchar2(50) I need my vb code map table name employee with its 2 columns into my 4 tables that I have in Oracle table repository,
My code so far just insert values into oracle tables in repository, but what is require is mapping table with contents into oracle tables. If my expanation isn't clear plz let me know.

Don't know if this will help you or not, but I have some code that will read from and Excel spreadsheet and put the data into a DataSet (i'm sure something else could be used).
string connectionString =
@"Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=d:\\testRead.xls;Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=1";
DbProviderFactory factory =
DbProviderFactories.GetFactory("System.Data.OleDb");
DbDataAdapter adapter = factory.CreateDataAdapter();
DbCommand selectCommand = factory.CreateCommand();
selectCommand.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM [dogs$]";
DbConnection connection = factory.CreateConnection();
connection.ConnectionString = connectionString;
selectCommand.Connection = connection;
adapter.SelectCommand = selectCommand;
DataSet cities = new DataSet();
adapter.Fill(cities);
GridView1.DataSource = cities;
GridView1.DataBind();
Your provider might be different; the one above is for Office 2007. The [dogs$] in the selectCommand.commandText is the name of the worksheet in Excel.
Hope this helps

Thanks Lyndon, what I need is map any table someone create in Excel worksheet to Oracle repository.For example to map Excel worksheet(employee)table with its 2 columns to oracle table META_OBJECTTYPES(OBJECTTYPEID pk,OBJECTTYPENAME,OBJECTTYPEDESC, OBJECTMETATYPE,OBJECTDOMAIN). In my case I have 2 objecttypes 1)table(employee) and 2nd columns:employee_id,employee_name
--for inserting table info manually into DB:
INSERT INTO META_OBJECTS
(OBJECTKEY, OBJECTTYPEID,OBJECTNAME,OBJECTDESC)
VALUES
(META_OBJECTS_SEQ.NEXTVAL,
4, --TABLE
'employee',--notice this is table name from Excel worksheet
'Table to store employee info')
--for inserting columns info:
INSERT INTO META_OBJECTS
(OBJECTKEY, OBJECTTYPEID,OBJECTNAME,OBJECTDESC)
VALUES
(META_OBJECTS_SEQ.NEXTVAL,5,'employee_id or name','employee column')
notice above I insert manually Excel worksheet employee table with its two cols into oracle meta_objecttypes. What I want is VB to do this I mean if I go to Toad and erase what I insert in meta_objecttypes when I run vb, the program should map table employee with its 2 cols to Toad(DB). I hope it is clear now. Please refer to 1 st post for 3 other tables in DB

Please Help , Urgent Help Needed.
Requirement is to Upload Excel file Into Oracle Table Using PLSQL Procedure/Package.

2. Application is on Remote Server(Oracle Forms D2k).
3. User Is Using Application Using Terminal Server LogIn.
4. So If User Will Use to GET_FILE_NAME() function of D2K to Get Excel File , D2k Will Try to pick File from That Remote Server(Bcs User Logind from Terminal Server Option).
5. Cannot Use Util_File Package Or Oracle Directory to Place That File on Server.
6. we are Using Oracle 8.7

TEXT_IO is a PL/SQL package available only in Forms (you'll want to post in the Forms forum for more information). It is not available in a stored procedure in the database (where the equivalent package is UTL_FILE).
If the Terminal Server machine and the database machine do not have access to the file system on the client machine, no application running on either machine will have access to the file. Barring exceptional setups (like the FTP server on the client machine), your applications are not going to have more access to the client machine than the operating system does.
If you map the client drives from the Terminal Server box, there is the potential for your Forms application to access those files. If you want the files to be accessible to a stored procedure in the database, you'll need to move the files somewhere the database can access them.

When reading the Rich Text present in Excel column using open XML its taking it as plain text

Hello All,
When i am reading excel columns using open Xml in C# everything is working fine except the column that
contain Rich Text (ex: bold, italic,color,size). Its reading the Rich Text content as plain text. As we know for Rich Text in open XML we get the text as Runs (C#
object) which contains the text as value and rpr as run properties. I have also written the code to convert Runs to html. But the issue is that for some Rich Text format its reading it as Runs but most of the Rich Text its reading it as plain text.
The issue i am getting is, for some rich text its creating RUN and for some of the rich text its not creatingRUN.
Let me give the example for more understanding:
Suppose i have two cells in excel which contains the below text.
1. Rich Text
1
2. RichText
2
Now when i read these cells using the below code
var stringTable =spreadsheetDocument.WorkbookPart.GetPartsOfType<SharedStringTablePart>().FirstOrDefault();
if (stringTable.SharedStringTable.ElementAt(index1).ChildElements.GetItem(0).GetType().Name == "Run")
Custom code to convert Rich text to HTML...
else
Read the plain text...
Though both the cell contains rich text, one is going in RUN block and one is going in Plain text bloc.
Also, one thing that i have noticed is when i use standard color for text its consider it as RUNS and when i use color apart from the standard color it does not consider it as RUNS. Same behavior occurs for different combination of text viz. bold, italic, underline
etc

Importing excel data into oracle tables

Hello gurus,
Importing excel data into oracle tables..
I know this is the most common question on the thread ...First, i searched the forum, i found bunch of threads with loading data using sqlloader, converting excel into .Txt, tab delimited file, .csv file etc....
Finally i was totally confused in terms how to get this done....
Here is wat i have
   - Excel file on local computer.
   - i have laod data into dev environment tables(So no risk involved, but want to try something simple)
   - Oracle version 11.1.0.7
   - Sqlplus and toad (editors)
Here is wat i like to do ....i dont know if its possible
    - Without going to unix server can i do everthing on local system by making use of oracle db and sqlplus or toad
   SQLLOADER might be one option...but i dont want to go the unix server for placing files and logs and stuff.
Wat will be best and simplest option to do?? and wat format will best to convert from excel into csv, or txt or tab delimited etc.....
If you suggest sqlloader, any code example will be greatly appriciated.
Thank you so much!!!

Hi,

Imran,
This is increadible option in toad!!! It works absolutely sweet!! I have toad 9.7 version. IT works great. Thank you so much!!You are welcome :)
Well i have further discussion on this ....this option is great if you doing in staging or development area. What if your doing in prod?? If you automating the sqlloader then how do u do it?? I think we still need to stick with traditional approach of laoding data by making use of SQLLoader right ?? If m wrong please correct me.well, in our case, we do have access to a custom schema in prod where we create the staging table and load the data from datafiles.
try this:
load data
infile 'C:\dest.csv'
into table dest_table
fields terminated by "~" optionally enclosed by '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(name,
owner_nm,
description_column,
UPDT_DT DATE 'MM/DD/YYYY')
{code}
you can get more info about sql loader and your error here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch05.htm
http://www.allinterview.com/showanswers/53766.html
And one more quick question ...i found an example of control file , in that i see .dat format file. Is it a data file ?? can i try that option ?? But in excel i didnt see to convert the .dat format file.
Any thoughts ???
It is same as a delimiter text file.
steps to create a .dat file (from a excel file):
1. Insert a column between two columns and populate it with the delimiter (in our case, it is ~)
2. Save the file as unicode text.
3. Open the file in text editor and remove all the tabs (find an replace with blank)
4. Save the file as "DEST.dat". Select encoding as UTF-8 while saving.
5. Your .dat file is ready.

Imran

Display distinct rows from Oracle table without using "DISTINCT" keyword.

How to retrieve distinct rows from oracle table without using 'DISTINCT' keyword in SQL?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum.
Besides GROUP BY you can use UNIQUE instead of DISTINCT as well, but that's probably not wanted here ;) , and the ROW_NUMBER() analytic:

1. connect to user sys
2. grant read,write on directory <connector_name> to <target_schema>;
or
Variant 2
1. as user sys or system give CREATE_ANY_DIRECTORY to <target_schema>
2. manualy make CREATE DIRECTORY <connector_name> as '<full_path_to_directory>';
and enjoy :)

Want to load excel data into oracle table with out changing it to CSV

Hello all,

so, can u guys can help me out in this
thanks.............

The link Pavan provided discusses Oracle Heterogeneous Services. This allows you (using ODBC) to create a database link from Oracle to a non-Oracle data source like Excel. This would allow you to query the Excel data source from SQL*Plus or any other client tool. But that is probably going to require that your Oracle database is running on Windows since I'm not aware of any Excel ODBC drivers for Unix.
Another potential option would be to write a Java stored procedure that parsed the file. There are a few different Java libraries that can read and write Excel data files. You could load one of those libraries into the database's JVM and then write Java code that parsed the file. You would then be able to call your Java stored procedure from PL/SQL.

What is the error message/ number you are seeing? If you run "select name from tblperson order by name" do you still get an error?
