Create text file in Database Trigger

Hello,
How to create text file in the database trigger. I am working on Row level trigger which has select statement if statement fails I have to create text file and insert record in text file. I tried to use file1 TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE package it does not works.
Thanks,
Atif

TEXT_IO is not available on the database. It is only available if you are doing client-side PL/SQL development in Oracle Forms. On the database side, you can use the UTL_FILE package.
Since writing to a file is not transactional, however, and because Oracle may have to call a trigger multiple times to ensure write consistency:

you aregenerally better off not writing to a file in a trigger. The better answer is generally to use Oracle Asynchronous Queues to send a message to another process that actually writes the file. That way, if the transaction rolls back, nothing gets written to the file.

Plz clarify whether u want to load text file as a file into database or value of this text file into database. If values are to be loaded from this text file, U can better format the text file and use SQL loader to load the file into database. By formatting the database, i mean remove the unnecessary headings and characters, kee only the values to be loaded idelimited by ' '(space) or ','(comma). Create a control file and load it into the target table.

How to extract data from text file to database table

Hi ,
I am trying to upload data in text file to database table using GUI_UPLOAD function .what would be the program for that.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
I don't think you have a standard sap program to upload data from file to database table...
Instead you can create a custom program like this..
DATA: T_FILEDATA(1000) OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
DATA: T_ZTABLE LIKE ZTABLE OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
    filename                      = 'C:\TEST.TXT'

Problem in creating text file from report file

Hello Everybody...
I have problem in creating text file.
I had set System Parameter as below
DESTYPE : File
MODE : Character
DESNAME : gayu.txt
And ruler setting
Units : Character Cells
Character Cell Size : Horiziontal = 7
Vertiacle =12
GridSpacing : 1
no of snap points per grid spacing : 1
but when i run report it will give error
"REP_1219 M_2 or R_2 has no size -- length or width zero"
so is there any solution of that
or another way to convert report into text file?....

Hi Folks,
Please don't go after that Error as its a very deceptive one. Please don't go for altering your design Or changing the size of items in your layout.
Similar errors I have come across in reports. I think its due to file transfer type. You might have transferred the file in Binary and your File Mode I am seeing it as CHAR.
This normally happens while making the Report Format as "Text". Either you change that format which I think is possible in your case as your basic requirement is making a report output of CHAR type.
Please check for this error in Metalink and proceed accordingly. I could fix similar errors when I changed Format type to PDF(from text).
Regards
Shibu

How to create text file like this?

I want to create text file like attached file. I thought to create 2 text file: First text file make the headers ( Position, value 0,value 1....) , Second file make the table of data. Then combine them to be third text file. Someone can post other solutions?
Attachments:

Hi ha noi,
you don't need 2 intermediate textfiles!
Just write the header line first, then attach lines containing values...

Importing a Text File to Database

Hi There,
Years ago with limited Coldfusion experience I created a Cold fusion process (below) that deletes the contents of a database table and inserts the contents of a 7mb text file which is passed via FTP down to our web server at regular intervals. Admittingly the code below is probably clunky to the more experienced, however i have found this process to work for the last 4 years without a problem. Recently my web server (shared hosted environment) has been throwing this error when this page runs,
"Request aborted due to heavy system load.",
I asked my host if there has been any changes, extra sites recently added to the server that may be causing this congestion which they naturally replied "no". I even tried reducing the text file size to about 3mb but still got the same issue. Is there any other more efficient coldfusion code options I can try that may be quicker and prevent the error from being thrown?
Im on Coldfusion 7 and using MS SQL server, database and coldfusion are on differnt boxes in a shared environment.The text file can contain null values and is delimeted by a pipe character "|"
Any help appreciated

3.You have given only SQL Loader word; so now "oaf... i have to read Doc.."

HOW TO IMPORT HUNDREDS OF TEXT FILE TO DATABASE AS TABLE

Hi,
I have hundreds of text files in my computer. Every text file includes records. I want to see these records in one table at the database. How can I do that?
thank you very much for help

I have a standard template that my developers use for reading text files using External Tables . Each developer gets an external table to read in test data. The format the data in CSV format, but you could use others. The External Table points to a generic file name, such as "csv_data". They then just rename the file or create a link to it, depending on the OS.
My solution uses the Directory objects. The following can be put in a script and run passing the first argument as the developers name. It supports a csv file upto 15 columns, but you can expand it.
-- begin script
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY &1 as '/home/&1';
grant read on directory &1 to public;
alter session set current_schema=&1;
--drop table csv_data;
CREATE TABLE csv_data
col1 VARCHAR2(250),
col2 VARCHAR2(250),
col3 VARCHAR2(250),
col4 VARCHAR2(250),
col5 VARCHAR2(250),
col6 VARCHAR2(250),
col7 VARCHAR2(250),
col8 VARCHAR2(250),
col9 VARCHAR2(250),
col10 VARCHAR2(250),
col11 VARCHAR2(250),
col12 VARCHAR2(250),
col13 VARCHAR2(250),
col14 VARCHAR2(250),
col15 VARCHAR2(250)

Text file to database

hi all.
please i need to read data seperated by coma from a text file and insert it in oracle database. how can i do this
thanx

Use this function (with Forms : TEXT_IO)
(Change PIPE-delimited line with comma -delimited )
create a FUNCTION in Program Unit
FUNCTION TOKEN (LINEBUF IN OUT VARCHAR2) RETURN VARCHAR2 IS
/* Returns the first token from the PIPE-delimited line */
/* passed as linebuf. Linebuf then has that token stripped */
/* so that subsequent calls return the second, third, etc. */
FIRST_TOKEN VARCHAR2(70);
PIPE_POS NUMBER;
BEGIN
PIPE_POS := INSTR(LINEBUF, ',');
IF PIPE_POS = 0 THEN
FIRST_TOKEN := LINEBUF;
LINEBUF := null;
ELSE
FIRST_TOKEN := SUBSTR(LINEBUF, 1, PIPE_POS - 1);
LINEBUF := SUBSTR(LINEBUF, PIPE_POS + 1);
END IF;
RETURN FIRST_TOKEN;
END;

Importing text file into database

Hi again,
Could anyone give me any pointers on how to take a text file or csv file (or any other delimeted text file) and read the contents into java and then use the read in data to then insert the delimeted data into the table.
i assume i have to read the delimeted data into a variable then parse the complete string with the delimeter and split the data up maybe in an array. Maybe this is completely wrong, im really unsure.
any help would be greatly appreciated even a point in the right direction would be great :)
kind regards.

Well, atleast i dont know of a single method, which does this kind of nonhomogenous task!! Its not hard to impliment what you want-->
//open the text file using FileInputStream & get the contents in a String variable
//Tokenise it
StringTokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(your_string_retrieved_from_file,delimiter);
int i=0;
while(st.hasMoreTokens())
i++;
//SQL Statement that inserts a string into database table(integer, varchar2)
insert into test_table values(i,st.nextToken());
Unless you are talking about putting the tokens as coloums in a single row, i dont find why this is a problem & if you are actually doing the above case, then you might wanna rethink your design

Create text file from form data

I need to create a form using dreamweaver and coldfusion. We
do not have coldfusion server. just Dreamweaver 8. Until we decide
what application server we will use, I need to create a text file
each time a user submits data from a form and put the data into a
text file. What would be the best way to handle this?

if you do not have an application server like CF or PHP or
ASP (or
other) to process your form submissions, you should look for
a perl/cgi
script that can do it for you. i remember from awhile ago a
script
called bnbform from bignosebird.com ... it is used for
emailing form
submissions to a designated email address, but if i remember
correctly
it also stored form data in a text file....
