Comparsion of .csv file and sqlserver table

Hi Friends,
I have master table (item master) having more then 60000 records I fetched into offline dataset and loading each time in vb.net form instead of get from database which is costly, I want to inquire is there any function/technique available that
when ever my table in a database will be updated automatically my offline .csv (store in client local harddisk) will be updated.
thank you.

asad

You can create a sql server agent job for that.
Schedule the job based on your convenience and first step of the job would be to check control table that you maintain (with a bit field in it) if the bit is set. If bit is set proceed to next step to call a script which will do updation of offline csv file.
You can use OPENROWSET or SSIS pkg for that. Finally it will reset bit once updation is done.
The bit will set during the updation of your table by means of trigger code.
You can keep period of job as hourly

Read a CSV file and dynamically generate the insert

I have a requirement where there are multiple csv's which needs to be exported to a sql table. So far, I am able to read the csv file and generate the insert statement dynamically for selected columns however, the insert statement when passed as a parameter
to the $cmd.CommandText
does not evaluate the values
How to evaluate the string in powershell
Import-Csv -Path $FileName.FullName | % {
# Insert statement.
$insert = "INSERT INTO $Tablename ($ReqColumns) Values ('"
$valCols='';
$DataCols='';
$lists = $ReqColumns.split(",");
foreach($l in $lists)
$valCols= $valCols + '$($_.'+$l+')'','''
#Generate the values statement
$DataCols=($DataCols+$valCols+')').replace(",')","");
$insertStr =@("INSERT INTO $Tablename ($ReqColumns) Values ('$($DataCols))")
#The above statement generate the following insert statement
#INSERT INTO TMP_APPLE_EXPORT (PRODUCT_ID,QTY_SOLD,QTY_AVAILABLE) Values (' $($_.PRODUCT_ID)','$($_.QTY_SOLD)','$($_.QTY_AVAILABLE)' )

Loading data from .csv file into existing table

Hi,
I have taken a look at several threads which talk about loading data from .csv file into existing /new table. Also checked out Vikas's application regarding the same. I am trying to explain my requirement with an example.
I have a .csv file and I want the data to be loaded into an existing table. The timesheet table columns are -
timesheet_entry_id,time_worked,timesheet_date,project_key .
The csv columns are :
project,utilization,project_key,timesheet_category,employee,timesheet_date , hours_worked etc.
What I needed to know is that before the csv data is loaded into the timesheet table is there any way of validating the project key ( which is the primary key of the projects table) with the projects table . I need to perform similar validations with other columns like customer_id from customers table. Basically the loading should be done after validating if the data exists in the parent table. Has anyone done this kind of loading through the APEX utility-data load.Or is there another method of accomplishing the same.
Does Vikas's application do what the utility does ( i am assuming that the code being from 2005 the utility was not incorporated in APEX at that time). Any helpful advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anjali

Hi Anjali,
Take a look at these threads which might outline different ways to do it -
File Browse, File Upload
Loading CSV file using external table
Loading a CSV file into a table
you can create hidden items in the page to validate previous records before insert data.
Hope this helps,

Loading records from .csv file to SAP table via SAP Program

Hi,
I have a .csv file with 132,869 records and I am trying to load it to an SAP table with a customized SAP program.
After executing the program, only 99,999 records are being loaded into the table.
Is there some setting to define how many records can be loaded into a table? Or what else could be the problem?
Pls advice.
Thanks!!!

hi Arun ,
A datasource need a extract structure to fetch data .It is nothing but a temp table to hold data.
First you need to create atable in SE11 with fields coming from CSV file.
Then you need to write a report program to read you CSV file and populate your table in BW .
Then you can create a datasource on top of this table .
After that replicate and load data at PSA and use to upper flow.

Question about reading csv file into internal table

Some one (thanks those nice guys!) in this forum have suggested me to use FM KCD_CSV_FILE_TO_INTERN_CONVERT to read csv file into internal table. However, it can be used to read a local file only.
I would like to ask how can I read a CSV file into internal table from files in application server?
I can't simply use SPLIT as there may be comma in the content. e.g.
"abc","aaa,ab",10,"bbc"
My expected output:
abc
aaa,ab
10
bbb
Thanks again for your help.

Loading a CSV file into a table

HTML DB Data Workshop has a feature to load a CSV file and create a table based on it.
I use a simplified version of this feature in my applications.
See a quick demo at
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=38131:1
Create a small csv file like
col1,col2,col3
varchar2(10),number,"number(10,2)"
cat,2,3.2
dog,99,10.4
The first line in the file are column names
Second line are their datatypes.
Save the file as c:\test.csv
Click the Browse button, search for this file.
Click the Submit button to upload and parse the file.
You can browse the file contents.
If you like what you see, type in a table name and click the Create Table button to create a table.
Let me know if anyone is interested and I can post the code.
Hope this helps.

The SAME error I get when trying to import Scott's Photo Catalog at http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=18326:7:6703988766288646534::::P7_ID:2242.
What should I change in the exported script in addition to change your workspace schema VIKASA or Scott's STUDIO_SHOWCASE to my NICED68?
Thanks!

Loading a CSV file into a table as in dataworkshop

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)

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.

Load CSV file into a table when a button is clicked by the user

Hello,
Can anyone please help me out with this issue, I have a form where in a user comes and uploads a CSV file and clicks a button, when the button is clicked - it should load the CSV file data into the database table for the corresponding columns.
Can anyone please suggest me a possible solution or an approach.
Thanks,
Orton

thanks fro replying.
I have tried your changes but its not working. One more question is that I am having one column which contains commas, when I tried to load the file its failing. I think its the problem with commas. So I have changed the code to use the replace function for that column, then also its not working. Can anyone please suggest a possible approach. Below is my source code for your reference.
DECLARE
v_blob_data BLOB;
v_blob_len NUMBER;
v_position NUMBER;
v_raw_chunk RAW(10000);
v_char CHAR(1);
c_chunk_len NUMBER := 1;
v_line VARCHAR2 (32767):= NULL;
v_data_array wwv_flow_global.vc_arr2;
v_rows NUMBER;
v_sr_no NUMBER := 1;
l_cnt BINARY_INTEGER := 0;
l_stepid NUMBER := 10;
BEGIN
delete from sample_tbl;
-- Read data from wwv_flow_files
select blob_content into v_blob_data from wwv_flow_files
where last_updated = (select max(last_updated) from wwv_flow_files where UPDATED_BY = :APP_USER)
and id = (select max(id) from wwv_flow_files where updated_by = :APP_USER);
v_blob_len := dbms_lob.getlength(v_blob_data);
v_position := 1;
-- Read and convert binary to char
WHILE ( v_position <= v_blob_len ) LOOP
v_raw_chunk := dbms_lob.substr(v_blob_data,c_chunk_len,v_position);
v_char := chr(hex_to_decimal(rawtohex(v_raw_chunk)));
v_line := v_line || v_char;
v_position := v_position + c_chunk_len;
-- When a whole line is retrieved 
IF v_char = CHR(10) THEN
-- Convert comma to : to use wwv_flow_utilities 
v_line := REPLACE (v_line, ',', ':');
-- Convert each column separated by : into array of data 
v_data_array := wwv_flow_utilities.string_to_table (v_line);
-- Insert data into target table 
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'insert into sample_tbl(col1..col12)
values (:1,:2,:3,:4,:5,:6,:7,:8,:9,:10,:11,:12)'
USING
v_sr_no,
v_data_array(1),
v_data_array(2),
v_data_array(3),
v_data_array(4),
v_data_array(5),
v_data_array(6),
v_data_array(7),
v_data_array(8),
REPLACE(v_data_array(9), ':', ','),
to_date(v_data_array(10),'MM/DD/YYYY'),
v_data_array(11);
-- Clear out
v_line := NULL;
v_sr_no := v_sr_no + 1;
l_cnt := l_cnt + SQL%ROWCOUNT;
END IF;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
l_stepid := 20;
IF l_cnt = 0 THEN
apex_application.g_print_success_message := apex_application.g_print_success_message || ' Please select a file to upload ' ;
ELSE
apex_application.g_print_success_message := apex_application.g_print_success_message || 'File uploaded and processed ' || l_cnt || ' record(s) successfully.';
END IF;
l_stepid := 30;
EXCEPTION WHEN OTHERS THEN
ROLLBACK;
apex_application.g_print_success_message := apex_application.g_print_success_message || 'Failed to upload the file. '||REGEXP_REPLACE(SQLERRM,'[('')(<)(>)(,)(;)(:)(")('')]{1,}', '') ;
END;
Below is the function which I am using to convert hex to decimal
create or replace function hex_to_decimal( p_hex_str in varchar2 ) return number
is
v_dec number;
v_hex varchar2(16) := '0123456789ABCDEF';
begin
v_dec := 0;
for indx in 1 .. length(p_hex_str)
loop
v_dec := v_dec * 16 + instr(v_hex,upper(substr(p_hex_str,indx,1)))-1;
end loop;
return v_dec;
end hex_to_decimal;

How to import data from excel or csv files to Oracle table

hello everybody,
I am new here and new in Oracle. I would like to know the steps how to import data from excel or csv files to Oracle table.
Let say I already have table inside the Oracle. Then my user give me the sets of data inside the Excel Worksheet.
So, how can I import the excel data into Oracle table.
Thank you in advance.
cheers,
shima

Even easier. Download JDeveloper 11G from this site.
Set up the database connection, right click on the table, select Import->Excel and specify your file to load it. On the import pop-up, you must view and update each tab indicating Columns, Data Types, and DML.
Columns -- move the selected columns that you want to load to the box on the right
Data Types -- select column name from second column to which the data for each column of the import file should load
DML -- click this tab to generate the INSERT SQL
Once done click 'Insert'
