Hi,
Did you copy that sample from some demo?
The part "<XML Path>" is meant to be replaced by a real XPath fragment.
Here, I think you may just want this :
select * from category
where existsNode(xmlrecord, '/row[c24="SA0010001"]') = 1;Edit : OK, just seen your previous post and the example given

Selecting from external table

Hi,
I have an external table with 3 data files. How can I define by the select statement from which data file I'd like to select, is it possible at all?
( like at partitioned table I can define the partition name in the select statement)
Is there a limit how many data files can belong to an external table?
Thanks
Orsi

Hi,
I wasn'rt clear, so I write an example:

Dulpicate entry occur while select from edidc table

HI ,
internal table I_edidc declare as unique key DOC_NUM while select the value from the edidc table on basis of status ,msgtyp,direct ,sndprt.sndprn ,updat, updtim,cretim,credat giving the duplicate entry dump some time .ANY suggestion

Hi Prakash ,
thanks for your replying internal table is refreshed i checked it during the debugging time and this issue not occurs frequently .I think the reason is when the idoc status changes from 51 to 53 it is picking up 51 entry and the same time it status changes to 53 it again tries to pick the same idoc with status 53 .Please correct me if i am wrong and please give your valuable suggestion .Below is the code

It would appear that you external table definition and the external data file data do not match up. Post a few input records so someone can duplicate the problem and determine the fix.

Hi All,
Please suggest me how to select from 2 tables and insert the same data into 2 tables. I am successful in selecting data from 2 tables, but i am not able to insert the same data into 2 other tables. There is foreign key constraint between 2 tables.
Thanks in Advance,

Load data from external table

Hi ,
How to load data from external table to transaction table using SQLLDR ?

You use an external table to load the data it is described in the link to the manual I provided.
Here is an example.
Re: Using DML order to import a .xls file
You would not be using SQLLDR though as external tables replace that functionality.

Comparison of Data Loading techniques - Sql Loader & External Tables

Below are 2 techniques using which the data can be loaded from Flat files to oracle tables.
1)     SQL Loader:
a.     Place the flat file( .txt or .csv) on the desired Location.
b.     Create a control file
Load Data
Infile "Mytextfile.txt" (-- file containing table data , specify paths correctly, it could be .csv as well)
Append or Truncate (-- based on requirement) into oracle tablename
Separated by "," (or the delimiter we use in input file) optionally enclosed by
(Field1, field2, field3 etc)
c.     Now run sqlldr utility of oracle on sql command prompt as
sqlldr username/password .CTL filename
d.     The data can be verified by selecting the data from the table.
Select * from oracle_table;
2)     External Table:
a.     Place the flat file (.txt or .csv) on the desired location.
abc.csv
1,one,first
2,two,second
3,three,third
4,four,fourth
b.     Create a directory
create or replace directory ext_dir as '/home/rene/ext_dir'; -- path where the source file is kept
c.     After granting appropriate permissions to the user, we can create external table like below.
create table ext_table_csv (
i Number,
n Varchar2(20),
m Varchar2(20)
organization external (
type oracle_loader
default directory ext_dir
access parameters (
records delimited by newline
fields terminated by ','
missing field values are null
location ('file.csv')
reject limit unlimited;
d.     Verify data by selecting it from the external table now
select * from ext_table_csv;
External tables feature is a complement to existing SQL*Loader functionality.
It allows you to –
•     Access data in external sources as if it were in a table in the database.
•     Merge a flat file with an existing table in one statement.
•     Sort a flat file on the way into a table you want compressed nicely
•     Do a parallel direct path load -- without splitting up the input file, writing
Shortcomings:
•     External tables are read-only.
•     No data manipulation language (DML) operations or index creation is allowed on an external table.
Using Sql Loader You can –
•     Load the data from a stored procedure or trigger (insert is not sqlldr)
•     Do multi-table inserts
•     Flow the data through a pipelined plsql function for cleansing/transformation
Comparison for data loading
To make the loading operation faster, the degree of parallelism can be set to any number, e.g 4
So, when you created the external table, the database will divide the file to be read by four processes running in parallel. This parallelism happens automatically, with no additional effort on your part, and is really quite convenient. To parallelize this load using SQL*Loader, you would have had to manually divide your input file into multiple smaller files.
Conclusion:
SQL*Loader may be the better choice in data loading situations that require additional indexing of the staging table. However, we can always copy the data from external tables to Oracle Tables using DB links.

Please let me know your views on this.

Can we cleanse and transform data at flat file or external table level?

Hi,
I have some data that I want to cleanse and transform. I don't want to cleanse it after i populate the external table, I want to get done with it at flat file level or while populating the external table. Can we cleanse and transform data at flat file or external table level through Oracle or OWB 11.2? Is it possible to run a conditional load (i.e. having a where clause or if-else-then) for an external table? Can we call oracle functions for an external table at the time of creation?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ann.

Hi Oleg,
Thanks a lot for the clarification. :)
So is there a way that I can clease the data within the text file through Oracle or OWB? I have datatype mismatches in the data and most of my data is getting rejected because of that. The way I can think of, for solving this problem, is to create the external table with all fields with datatype varchar and then cleansing the data. But it doesn't seem very effecient plus it will get very complicated because I have almost 80-90 fields.
Any help?
Thanks and regards,
Ann.

PL/SQL: ORA-22992: cannot use LOB locators selected from remote tables

Dear ALL,
My O/S is Redhatlinux 5.2 and i had Migrated my Oracle databse to 11g2. But after that while i am retrieving records through dblinks from one of my other Oracle 9.2.0.8 databse it's throwing the error : PL/SQL: ORA-22992: cannot use LOB locators selected from remote tables.* This error i am getting in TOAD as well as SQL Developer.
Can anybody tell me how to fix this error ? Because am not able to get the records.
Also am getting another error during retrieving data from some of my tables after migrating i.e the table which having CLOB data type while am accessing to retrieve the records using select query it's throwing the error :
+(The following error has occurred:+
A query with LOB's requires OCI8 mode, but OCI7 mode is used.)
If anyone having any idea kindly share.
Thanks and Regards
Biswa

Hi,
Ya what u sent that is fine. But already am using one procudure which is accessing LOB data from another databse through DBlink and working fine. But there Both the databse are 9.2.0.8.
But while am executing the same procedure in oracle 11g where the Dblink accessing the data from Oracle 9i , there am getting this error.
Kindly tell if u know any resolution.
Thanks

Select from multiple tables without join statement

Hey Gurus,
I would like to make a select from a multiple tables to check if there is any reference to my data. I would like to do it with some elegancy, but I don't know how.
Is in abap sql possible to do it only with the select statement?
Or I was also think about a solution that I should fill some data structure with all of the tables which I want to select from and then just loop that data structure and do the select seperately from all of the tables. I just need to check if it founds some results, so no need to store it. If this solution would be fine what data structure should I use?
Or can tell me what would be the best for this?
My code for select from one table, which I want to make for multiple tables:
SELECT SINGLE id_kniznice FROM zbr_t_autori INTO wa_id
       WHERE id_kniznice EQ ls_extract-zview-id_kniznice.
     IF sy-dbcnt > 0.
       MESSAGE i000(zbr_msgc_lib).
       ls_extract-flags-vim_mark = '*'.
       MODIFY extract FROM ls_extract.
ENDIF.
Thank you for any posts.
Regards,
Robert
