Convert oracle tables

Hi,
Is there any third party tool/source which will unload data from oracle tables into flat files? Iam talking few millions of records...
thanks

Hi,
there are some possibilities. One is discussed in
http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum88/HTML/000862.html
It is a sqlplus Script to produce the file.
Another way is UTL_FILE from inside a PL/SQL Procedure
Or use SQL Navigator from Quest http://www.quest.com . It works on my tables, but I don't have several million rows inside.

HOw to convert Oracle Table data to Excel Sheet

I need to convert Some of fields from my table to Excell sheet. I dont want to use 3rd party tools. Is there any querry to generate Excell sheet????

There is no direct path to make Excel file from query, instead you may generate a CSV file (comma-separated-values) or TAB separated values file.
On SQL*Plus
SQL> set heading off
SQL> set newpage none
SQL> set linesize 255 --could be more
SQL> spool /path/filename.txt
SQL> select column1||chr(<ascii for Tab>)||column2||...||columnK
from table
SQL> spool off
Hope it helps

How can i convert oracle report in excel format using 8i

hi,
I want to convert oracle report in excel format using 6i reports. please give the solution with emp table.
millons of thanks in advance.

You'll have to use the destype DELIMITEDDATA to render your Report in CSV format. Then set the mime type to Excel. I don't know the exact syntax, so please do a search in metalink for "reports excel" for examples and more info.

Using OleDbDataAdapter Update with InsertCommands and getting blocking locks on Oracle table

The following code snippet shows the use of OleDbDataAdapter with InsertCommands. This code is producing many inserts on the Oracle table and is now suffering from contention... all on the same table. How does the OleDbDataAdapter produce
inserts from a dataset... what characteristics do these inserts inherent in terms of batch behavior... or do they naturally contend for the same resource.
oc.Open();
for (int i = 0; i < xImageId.Count; i++)
// Create the oracle adapter using a SQL which will not return any actual rows just the structure
OleDbDataAdapter da =
   new OleDbDataAdapter("SELECT BUSINESS_UNIT, INVOICE, ASSIGNMENT_ID, END_DT, RI_TIMECARD_ID, IMAGE_ID, FILENAME, BARCODE_LABEL_ID, " +
   "DIRECT_INVOICING, EXCLUDE_FLG, DTTM_CREATED, DTTM_MODIFIED, IMAGE_DATA, PROCESS_INSTANCE FROM sysadm.PS_RI_INV_PDF_MERG WHERE 1 = 2", oc);
// Create a data set
DataSet ds = new DataSet("documents");
da.Fill(ds, "documents");
// Loop through invoices and write to oracle
string[] sInvoices = invoiceNumber.Split(',');
foreach (string sInvoice in sInvoices)
    // Create a data set row
    DataRow dr = ds.Tables["documents"].NewRow();
    ... map the data
    // Populate the dataset
    ds.Tables["documents"].Rows.Add(dr);
// Create the insert command
string insertCommandText =
    "INSERT /*+ append */ INTO PS_table " +
    "(SEQ_NBR, BUSINESS_UNIT, INVOICE, ASSIGNMENT_ID, END_DT, RI_TIMECARD_ID, IMAGE_ID, FILENAME, BARCODE_LABEL_ID, DIRECT_INVOICING, " +
    "EXCLUDE_FLG, DTTM_CREATED, DTTM_MODIFIED, IMAGE_DATA, PROCESS_INSTANCE) " +
    "VALUES (INV.nextval, :BUSINESS_UNIT, :INVOICE, :ASSIGNMENT_ID, :END_DT, :RI_TIMECARD_ID, :IMAGE_ID, :FILENAME, " +
    ":BARCODE_LABEL_ID, :DIRECT_INVOICING, :EXCLUDE_FLG, :DTTM_CREATED, :DTTM_MODIFIED, :IMAGE_DATA, :PROCESS_INSTANCE)";
// Add the insert command to the data adapter
da.InsertCommand = new OleDbCommand(insertCommandText);
da.InsertCommand.Connection = oc;
// Add the params to the insert
da.InsertCommand.Parameters.Add(":BUSINESS_UNIT", OleDbType.VarChar, 5, "BUSINESS_UNIT");

Here is what Oracle is showing as blocking locks and the SQL that has been identified with each of the SIDS. Not sure why there is contention. There are no triggers or joined tables in this piece of code.

Remove carriage returns from a field in an oracle table

I have a field that is defined as a LONG in my oracle table; the data contained in this field has carriage returns/line feeds (it's free form text); as i'm selecting data from this field, i need the carriage returns removed so that the data from this field all appears on one line.
I tried using the TRANSLATE function to convert the carriage returns to something else, but that doesn't work.
Example:
Select comment from Notes:
COMMENT
the applicant called for an appointment;
an exam was scheduled for 4/1/05 at 9am;
called applicant to confirm app
this needs to be extracted as: "the applicant called for an appointment; an exam was scheduled for 4/1/05 at 9am; called applicant to confirm app"
How can i do this? Can the decode function be used to remove the carriage returns in this field?

when i used translate its giving correctly,

Use of Logical Partition in a Oracle Table...

What is the use of Logical Partition in a Oracle Table as Target. Techincal Manual does not say any significance.
My question is:
If the Table has no partitions and if we add Logical Partitions using Data Service, what purpose will it serve?
We are planning to load 30 Million records a day into a Oracle Table. As of now the Target table has no partition and we are planning to have that soon. Is there a better way to load the data into Target Table, using Partition, Bulk Loading(API), Degree of Parallelism, etc., We have not dealt data of that volume, inputs are highly appreciated.
Regards.
Santosh.

Initial Value:
Indicator that NOT NULL is forced for this field
Use
Select this flag if a field to be inserted in the database is to be filled with initial values. The initial value used depends on the data type of the field.
Please note that fields in the database for which the this flag is not set can also be filled with initial values.
When you create a table, all fields of the table can be defined as NOT NULL and filled with an initial value. The same applies when converting the table. Only when new fields are added or inserted, are these filled with initial values. An exception is key fields. These are always filled automatically with initial values.
Restrictions and notes:
The initial value cannot be set for fields of data types LCHR, LRAW, and RAW. If the field length is greater than 32, the initial flag cannot be set for fields of data type NUMC.
If a new field is inserted in the table and the initial flag is set, the complete table is scanned on activation and an UPDATE is made to the new field. This can be very time-consuming.
If the initial flag is set for an included structure, this means that the attributes from the structure are transferred. That is, exactly those fields which are marked as initial in the definition have this attribute in the table as well.
hope it helps,
Saipriya

I want to update date field in oracle table using database adaptor

Hi Guys,
I want to update date in oracle table field which is 'DATE' type , but i am getting following error.

The Pure SQL option is for border use cases only and provides simple yet minimal functionality. Possibly try the "Perform an operation on a table" option instead.

this is update query

The thing is that XSLT often doesn't deliver the functionality required when it comes to times.
You suggest appening "Z" to the time but this means that the time is now in UTC time. What if the system from where the date is being converted is running in NZ using local time? Other systems that recieve the date (and correctly handle the time zone) will now have a time that is out by a number of hours.
You often can't ignore the time zone (drop the 'Z') as if you send the time to a system it has to either assume the time is local to it (which may not be the case... the other system coudl be in a different time zone) or assume the time is UTC (I think crossfire does this by default).
Typically can't just append a time zone (e.g. +11:00) either as many places have daylight savings so the value to appended is variable (you then need some way of determining what the value is... either Java Embedding or a Service).
As you mention it does depend on the use case but in many circumstances using Jaba Embedding, not as suggested above but with the appropriate Java.util.Calendar classes, is the best way to handle date and time in BPEL. Even still you need to ascertain the format of times external to the system and ensure you parse them correctly.
ANd even if you do all this you can still run into problems. I've seen a real world example where two systems which both handled time zones correctly and had previously been working together for quite a while, satrted reporting different times. It turns out that only one of them had had the most recent Java Time Zone patches applied and there had been a change in the dates for daylight savings here (Australia). Be warned!

How to change the datatype in the oracle table?

Hi,
I need to change the datatype of the column in Oracle table. That column contains some data. I do not want to loose those data.
For altering a table/column condition are:
1. either table should not contain any data.
2. either that column should not contain any data.
Please suggest how i can handle this situation.
Thanks.

Hello,
Suppose you have currently datatype of column as VARCHAR and you want to convert it in NUMBER. Do following
1-Add another column with NUMBER datatype in your table.
ALTER table tablename
ADD testcolumn NUMBER;2-Update your actual column data to this test column.
UPDATE tablename
SET testcolumn = actualcolumn;
COMMIT;3-Update your actual column data to null;
UPDATE tablename
SET actualcolumn = NULL;

You can use Sql*Loader (sqlldr) :
TEST@db102 SQL> create table test (a varchar2(30), b varchar2(30), c varchar2(30));
Table created.
TEST@db102 SQL> exit
Disconnected from Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0 - Production

$ cat test.csv
aaa,bbb,ccc
ddd,eee,fff
111,222,333
$ cat test.ctl
load data
infile 'test.csv'
replace into table test
fields terminated by ','
(a char, b char, c char)
$ sqlldr test/test control=test.ctl

Try using the DTS (data transformation services) services of SQL Server 2000
DTS is based on an OLE DB architecture that allows you to copy and transform data from a variety of data sources. For example: Oracle directly, using native OLE DB providers.
Alternatively, you could follow the following broad steps for data migration (assuming you are retaining the same table structures in SQL Server, and that you are talking about SQL Server 2000).
1. Get the CREATE scripts corresponding to each Oracle table / view / index. These can be reverse engineered from the database using a tool.
2. Map Oracle datatypes to SQL server datatypes e.g: date maps to datetime/smalldatetime, numeric maps to one of int, bigint, smallint, etc depending on the range of values in the CREATE scripts.
3. Indexes in SQL Server are of two types: Clustered / non-clustered. There can only be one clustered index on each table.
4. Converting procedures and triggers will have to be line by line, since SQL Server uses a proprietary T-SQL instead of ORacle's PL/SQL
I have yet to see a really good tool to do this migration, but it is possible to write a PL/SQL procedure / Pro*C program to automate the script creation for creating tables in the SQL Server database.
For the actual data import into SQL Server, export the Oracle data table by table into flat files, and then use the import wizard of SQL Server enterprise manager
