Can i create External Table dynamically

Hi,
Is it possible to create External Table dynamically ?
I want to use the following dynamically to create External Table.
1) fields
2) field position
3) file location
Thanks

The answer shouldn't be very different of already given answers in your Can i create external table dynamically? of the last month, is it ?
And question is still same : why wanted such thing ?

  • Can we create external table from an existing database table ?

    Hi everyone,
    As i understand, its possible to create a new table based on an existing table without copying any values from it, using the following command;
    CREATE TABLE newtable AS
    (SELECT * FROM oldtable WHERE 1=2);
    I would like to know whether we can do a similar thing with external tables. That is to create an external table with the same columns as of an existing table.
    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    You need to clear conception about external table.

  • Need help in Creating External Tables

    Hi All,
    I have a flat file containing numberic data, CLOB data, and also date columns data. I have to load this flat file data into staging server table using External tables. I have to write a stored procedure in such way creating exteranl tables dynamically. My question or need help from you people is that how to define the external table to load the CLOB data from flat file.
    Thanks,
    Sankar

    The LOCATION clause of an external table specifies the file or files to be read when the table is queried. You can change it to refer to different files without dropping and recreating the table and invalidating all dependent code.
    Regarding DBMS_SQL, yes you can do it the hard way if you prefer.
    Good point about CLOB columns in external tables. Quite possibly they are not supported, but I would have to check the manuals and try some examples.

  • How to create internal table dynamically based on a table entry

    hi Experts,
      I have table yprod_cat. It has product categories.
      In my ABAP program I need to create internal table dynamically based on the number of entries in the table.
      For example:
      If the table has 3 entries for product category
      1. Board
      2. Micro
      3. Syst
    Then create three (3) internal tables.
    i_board
    i_micro
    i_syst
    How can we do this? Any sample code will be very usefull
    Thanks & Regards

    Our APEX version is 4.2We are using below SQL query to display radio groups dynamically..
    SELECT APEX_ITEM.RADIOGROUP (1,deptno,'20',dname) dt
    FROM dept
    ORDER BY 1;
    Created a form using SQL type and given abouve SQL query as source.. But when we run the page, there were no radio groups displayed in the page..
    Below is the output of the query..
    <input type="radio" name="f01" value="10" />ACCOUNTING
    <input type="radio" name="f01" value="20" checked="checked" />RESEARCH
    <input type="radio" name="f01" value="30" />SALES
    <input type="radio" name="f01" value="40" />OPERATIONS
    >
    If Tabular Form:
    Edit Region > Report Attributes > Edit Column > Change the Column type to "Standard Report Column"
    If normal Page Item:
    Edit Page Item > Security > Escape special characters=No.
    Pl read the help on that page item to understand the security risk associated with =NO.

  • Create a Table Dynamically in WEB Dynpro Java with diferent type of column

    Hi everyone, I have a question if is possible to create a table dynamically in Web Dynpro Java?, depending of the RFC consults create the rows dynamically, ,this table must have diferent type of columns, for example link column (when the user click this link execute an action and show a adobe interactive form in another view), image column (show an image depending of the information)
    Thank you everyone
    Atte Israel

    Hello,Israel.
    Yes , it is possible through dynamic programming in wdModify of the View.
    You can do this ,for example, using cell variants.
    IWDTable tab = (IWDTable) view.getElement("TABLE_NAME");               
    IWDTableStandardCell cellV= (IWDTableStandardCell) view.createElement(IWDTableStandardCell.class,"TableStandardCell"+i); 
    cellV.setVariantKey("NotEditableVariant");
    cellV.setCellDesign((WDTableCellDesign)wdContext.nodeTableDaysTitle().currentTableDaysTitleElement().getAttributeValue("CellDesign"+i));
    IWDTextView textViewi= (IWDTextView) view.createElement(IWDTextView.class,"TextView"+i);  // -- here you control the type of the object that is displayed in the cell
    textViewi.bindText(dayAttrib);
    cellV.setEditor(textViewi);          
    tabColumn.addCellVariant(cellV);
    tab.addGroupedColumn(tabColumn,tab.numberOfGroupedColumns());     
    Using this code you can control even specific cells in the table and not only columns.
    Hope this helps you,
    Constantine

    If you're referring to the external table, it's a file on the filesystem, you don't delete rows from it, you just replace/overwrite/delete the file as and when necessary.
    blushadow how i crate a reliable code.. can u suggest me?Basics of transactions... you commit when a business rule/process is complete, not for every little technical thing your code does. In your case I would expect a single commit at the end of the code.
    I don't have your tables, data or know what the code is supposed to be achieving, but you can bet your bottom dollar that if you're nesting cursor loops within each other then the code is running much slower than if you generated the data from a single SQL statement/cursor. I certainly have no clue what those procedure calls are doing, but it looks like they're using a load of OUT parameters. Are they user defined procedures or something that's part of e.g. Oracle Apps? If they're user defined I would consider redesigning all the code to use functions and pass back a structured data type with the required data.

  • Can I create a table in a procedure submitted to job queue?

    I have created a package (with AUTHID CURRENT_USER) where some of the procedures create temporary tables to facilitate processing. These procedures run just fine when executed directly from within an anonymous block at the SQL*PLUS level. However, when I submit the procedures to the job queue (via DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT), the job is submitted successfully but fails when run. Investigating the Alert Log shows an error of insufficient privilege on the CREATE TABLE command in the procedure.
    QUESTION:
    Can I create a table from a procedure running in the Job Queue? If so, then how to get it to work? Does the job run in a different environment that needs Create Table privileges set to my schema?
    Thanks for any info you can provide.
    John

    FYI: Found the problem. In the Administrator's Guide (of course not in the supplied packages documentation about DBMS_JOB) I found:
    "How Jobs Execute
    SNP background processes execute jobs. To execute a job, the process creates a session to run the job.
    When an SNP process runs a job, the job is run in the same environment in which it was submitted and with the owner's default privileges.
    When you force a job to run using the procedure DBMS_JOB.RUN, the job is run by your user process. When your user process runs a job, it is run with your default privileges only. Privileges granted to you through roles are unavailable."
    And of course we had set up our users to get all privileges through Roles, so CREATE TABLE wasn't one of my DEFAULT PRIVILEGES!
    It sure would be nice if Oracle documentation could get its act together and provide ALL information about a topic in a logical place. The effort to find the information about privileges occurred after it took me 1/2 hour to figure out why my submissions were failing - I didn't have the ';' included in the quoted string for the procedure to be called - which I only figured out after looking at the code for DBMS_JOB where it made the note to make sure you include the ';'. Wouldn't it be good to have that MINOR DETAIL mentioned in the description of DBMS_JOB.SUBMIT?????

    I know how to get total no available days of any month so i'll use for loop to create <tr>
    The info i need is-
    How to get the first day of the month ,the user entered using calendar because the first row should start with it.
    and the second thing is...
    How to keep incrementing it in the loop..like after sun-->mon-->tue....sat-->sun....
    & also..sat & sun cols should be of different colors than other weekdays
    Please help me.

    Other database products allow users to create tables in the temporary tables such as SQL Server.  I just tested using SQL Server 2008 R2 and I could create a table in TEMPDB.
    SQL Server also creates temporary tables, create table #table_name, in TEMPDB.  You can see these objects while in use.
