Data Types from Oracle Sample Schema

Hi,
I was trying to push some data from an Oracle Sample schema (Schema: OE Table: Customers) to a target schema. The interface was erroring out because of undefined data types in the model.
I chkd the model, only to find that some of the data types were undefined.
I DESCribed the table in the using SQL Client, The data types returned were
CUST_ADDRESS_TYP
PHONE_LIST_TYP
MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY
I DESCribed the datatypes, They seem to be flexfields of some kind,
Please advise on how to define these data types into ODI:
Heres the DESC output
SQL> desc customers;
Name Null? Type
CUSTOMER_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(6)
CUST_FIRST_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(20)
CUST_LAST_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(20)
CUST_ADDRESS CUST_ADDRESS_TYP
PHONE_NUMBERS PHONE_LIST_TYP
NLS_LANGUAGE VARCHAR2(3)
NLS_TERRITORY VARCHAR2(30)
CREDIT_LIMIT NUMBER(9,2)
CUST_EMAIL VARCHAR2(30)
ACCOUNT_MGR_ID NUMBER(6)
CUST_GEO_LOCATION MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY
DATE_OF_BIRTH DATE
MARITAL_STATUS VARCHAR2(20)
GENDER VARCHAR2(1)
INCOME_LEVEL VARCHAR2(20)
SQL> desc CUST_ADDRESS_TYP;
Name Null? Type
STREET_ADDRESS VARCHAR2(40)
POSTAL_CODE VARCHAR2(10)
CITY VARCHAR2(30)
STATE_PROVINCE VARCHAR2(10)
COUNTRY_ID CHAR(2)
SQL> desc phone_list_typ;
phone_list_typ VARRAY(5) OF VARCHAR2(25)

To create MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY datatype, goes to Topology module, Oracle Techonology, Datatypes, and add a new datatype GEOMETRY. (try to fill all information fields with GEOMETRY and see what happens maybe you have to ajust this after but it is a start point).
add information in from and to tabs according your source and target desired tech.
Reverse againg your model, or change the datatype in the model datastore. Re-run your interface

  • Convert Data type from Oracle Data time string to SQL Date time data type

    I have a time stamp column pulled from oracle into a SQL server db table varchar datatype column.
    Now i want to change that column to date time.
    Following is the data present in the table:
    01-APR-11 02.15.00.026000 AM -08:00
    01-APR-11 04.15.00.399000 AM -08:00
    01-APR-11 06.15.00.039000 AM -08:00
    I want to convert this data into sql server datetime data type.
    Please advice.
    Thanks,
    Sam.
    I am unable to find the solution in other sites which is why I have posted it in Oracle forum for seeking solution.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Sam.

    Sam,
    How are you actually loading the data into SQL*Server - are you using something like an Oracle gateway, BCP or another Microsoft utility of some sort ?
    If you are using an Oracle problem then we may be able to help but if using a Microsoft utility then you should really follow up with Microsoft to know what format the data should be in to use a Microsoft utility.

    Hey guys
    i need to create Data Type from and XSD,in the beginning i had an XML document which i converted to XSD using Altova ,then i imported this XSD in IR under External definition,now how should i go ahead with creating Data Type?
    my sample XSD is something like this
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!W3C Schema generated by XMLSpy v2007 sp2 (http://www.altova.com)>

  • All Oracle Sample Schemas and all Oracle Built-in Packages in XE?

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Oracle 10g on my home system to improve my knowledge of PL/SQL. Because I'm doing it at home, I have to solve DBA issues I'm somewhat clueless about.
    I would like to install Oracle 10g Express Edition and include the built-in packages (DBMS_OUTPUT, UTL_FILE, DBMS_UTILITY, DBMS_JOB, DBMS_JAVA, DBMS_RANDOM, etc.) as well as the Oracle sample schemas (HR, OE, PM, SH, and IX). None of these, except HR, is included in the express edition.
    If necessary, I'd like to be able to install these things after installing the express edition. How can I do this?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    checking the documentation is always helpful:
    http://www.oracle.com/pls/xe102/homepage
    http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/appdev.102/b25108/xedev_programs.htm#i2432
    You can always do a quick search on the documentation homepage, e.g. for utl_file:
    http://www.oracle.com/pls/xe102/search?remark=advanced_search&word=utl_file&format=ranked&book=&preference=
    There shouldn't be a need to install any packages. They should come preinstalled already.
    If not, you can find them here:
    C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server\RDBMS\ADMIN
    Just be very careful before trying to install something into the data dictionary. If you are not experienced, you might mess up your database.
    For example, utl_file is installed but invisible to most users, e.g. HR.
    Look at this example:
    SQL> conn hr/oracle1
    Connect durchgef³hrt.
    SQL> desc utl_file;
    ERROR:
    ORA-04043: Objekt "SYS"."UTL_FILE" ist nicht vorhanden
    SQL> conn sys@XE as sysdba
    Kennwort eingeben:
    Connect durchgef³hrt.
    SQL> desc utl_file;
    PROCEDURE FCLOSE
    Argument Name                  Typ                     In/Out Defaultwert?
    FILE                           RECORD                  IN/OUT
       ID                           BINARY_INTEGER          IN/OUT
       DATATYPE                     BINARY_INTEGER          IN/OUT
       BYTE_MODE                    BOOLEAN                 IN/OUT
    PROCEDURE FCLOSE_ALL
    SQL> grant execute  on utl_file to HR;
    Benutzerzugriff (Grant) wurde erteilt.
    SQL> conn hr/oracle1
    Connect durchgef³hrt.
    SQL> desc utl_file;
    PROCEDURE FCLOSE
    Argument Name                  Typ                     In/Out Defaultwert?
    FILE                           RECORD                  IN/OUT
       ID                           BINARY_INTEGER          IN/OUT
       DATATYPE                     BINARY_INTEGER          IN/OUT
       BYTE_MODE                    BOOLEAN                 IN/OUT
    PROCEDURE FCLOSE_ALL
    PROCEDURE FCOPY
    ...So, after granting execute privileges on utl_file to HR, the user HR can now access utl_file. No need to install it.
    The default packages are installed in the schema SYS.

  • Missing Oracle Sample Schemas - How Download complete Files

    Dear DBA's
    I appreciate if someone could tell me how setup the ORACLE SAMPLE SCHEMAS, because all my demo folders in 10g and 11G
    $ORACLE_HOME/demo/schema/hr or oe or any other chema there are fiesl missing,
    for instnace looking at the Procedure in doc
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28328.pdf
    it says to run "hr_main.sql" script in folder $ORACLE_HOME/demo/schema/human_resources
    But I can't find any file"hr_main"
    then for PM Schema it's supposed to have a file pm_main.sql !!!! I can't find .....
    The same for SH (Sales History) they say to run the "sh_main.sql" but i can't find anything like "Main"
    Can you please help me to compltely setup the sample schemas ?
    Txs

    I am having the same problem.
    I am running XE and the only sample schema that exists there is HR.
    OE and SH...are not there
    I downloaded companion CD 10 minutes ago from
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/10201winsoft-095341.html
    and searched through the whole companion and no
    files like :
    sh_main.sql
    mksample
    nothing!
    User Steve Callan placed a data pump file on
    http://www.dbasupport.com/oracle/ora11g/Installing-Oracle-Database-Sample-Schemas-using-Data-Pump.shtml
    but he created it without version parameter, so people who are running data pum from older versions cannot import it.
    I made a comment on the article he posted .
    user13106173 pointed out a link where you can get OE and HR, but I need SH sample schema as well
    So please can somebody direct me to anyplace I can get ALL THE Sample schemas

    I am facing a problem with date fields from Oracle DB sources. The date format of the field in DB table is 'Date base type is DATE and DDIC type is DATS'.
    I mapped the date fields to Date characters in BI. Now the data that comes to PSA is in weird format. It shows like -0.PR.09-A
    I have changing the field settings in DataSource  to internal and external and also i have tried mapping these date fields to text fields with out luck. All delivers the same format.
    I have also tried using conversion routines like, CONVERSION_EXIT_IDATE_INPUT to change format. It also delivers me the same old result.
    If anybody of you have any suggestions or if anybody have you experienced such probelms, Please share your experience with me.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards
    Varada

    Thanks for all your reply. I can only the solutions creating view in database. I want some solution to be done in BI. I appreciate if some of you have idea in it.
    The issue again in detail
    I am facing an issue with date fields from oracle data. The data that is sent from Oracle is in the format is -0.AR.04-M. I am able to convert this date in BI with conversion routine in BI into format 04-MAR-0.
    The problem is,  I am getting data of length 10 (Output format) in the format -0.AR.04-M where the month is not in numericals. Since it is in text it is taking one character spacing more.
    I have tried in different ways to convert and increased the length in BI, the result is same. I am wondering if we can change the date format in database.
    I am in puzzle with the this date format. I have checked other Oracle DB connections data for date fields in BI, they get data in the format 20.081.031 which will allow to convert this in BI. Only from the system i am trying creating a problem.

  • Pdf file stored as BLOB data type on Oracle

    I store PDF file as BLOB data type on Oracle. There are cases
    where I get multiple records from the database, that means I get
    multiple PDF files. They have to be merged and displayed on the web
    page. I tried CFContent which can display only one PDF file at a
    time but not more than one, whereas cfdocument is having problem
    converting binary data to string. I am kind of stuck.
    Can you anybody please help me out? Please let me know if you
    have any questions or this does not make sense to you.
    Thank you in advance.

    if by "merge" you mean 3 pdf into 1 pdf, try cfpdf (if on
    cf8) or see this
    thread if cf version less than 8:

  • Importing Date fields from Oracle always defaults to DT_DBDATETIME, and won't accept chages

    Hi
    I am trying to import date fields in an Oracle database in to SQL Server 2012, using SSIS. The package is using DT_DBTIMESTAMP type in the Data Flow, but this has the same range as SQL Server datetime, and it bombs out all the time.
    I have tried to change the type used to DT_DBDATE, but no matter what I do the data type on the input columns is readonly and will not change.
    Any help would be much appreciated

    Hi Andy,
    From the Mapping of Integration Services Data Types to Database Data Types section of the document, we can get the detailed information about mapping the Oracle data types to Integration Services data types. To change the data type from DT_DBTIMESTAMP to
    DT_DBDATE, we can use the following two methods:
    Method 1:
    Right click on the Source component and click “Show Advanced Editor”.
    Switch to the “Input and Output Properties” tab, expand the XX Source Output node, and expand the Output Columns node.
    Click the target column, and change the DataType property to DT_DBDATE.
    Method 2:
    Add a Data Conversion component to the Data Flow Task
    Double click the Data Conversion component to open the Data Conversion Transformation Editor
    Select the target input column, and change the Data Type to database date [DT_DBDATE].
    If I have anything misunderstood, please feel free to let me know.

  • Is there a auto-increment data type in Oracle

    Is there a auto-increment data type in Oracle ?
    How to do it if there is no auto-increment data type in Oracle ?

    Hi,
    I think you need unique ID's, for this purpose you use sequences
    in Oracle. Example:
    create table xy (
    id number,
    name varchar2(100)
    alter table xy
    add constraint xy_pk primary key(id);
    create sequence xy_seq start with 1 maxvalue 99999999999;
    (there are many other options for create sequence)
    create or replace trigger xy_ins_trg
    before insert on xy
    for each row
    begin
    select xy_seq.nextval
    into :new.id
    from dual;
    end;
    This produces a unique value for the column id at each insert.
    Hope this will help.

  • XML Data Type in oracle

    I am a developer in .NET with having experience working on SQL server.
    I want to know whether there is an xml data type in oracle.
    I have an xml in my front end and want to insert record in the database for the values inside that xml. What i am doing currently is that i am retreiving the value in the xml in the .NET code and passing the values a parameter to a stored procedure in oracle. what i want to do is to pass the xml directly to stored procedure in oracle and retrieve the values there (using Xquery) and insert the records.
    This is possible with SQL server 2005. I want to know is this possible with Oracle.
    Thanks and regards,
    Sameer J Narkar

    Wonderful - a documentation question!
    You will find your answer by going to the general documentation portal at http://tahiti.oracle.com following the path to the database version of interest, and looking in the SQL Reference manual. Chapter 2 discusses all data types, including the several supported for XML.
    In addition, under the 'Books' tab, there are several XML-developer specific reference manuals.
    (Oracle's support for XML generally blows away the others. The price for the extreme flexibility is an ease-of-use hit.)

  • ....Date Type in Oracle

    Hi All,
    Just to clear a few misconception/ambiguities regarding the DATE data type in Oracle.
    We hve a table which stores the date of insertion of a record. The front end application is in PHP while backend is in oracle.
    When i query the table, it shows the date as dd-mon-yy , but it does not show the time. I have tried to query it throgh sqlPLus , TOAD and the PHP Application, but it doesnt show the time.
    Is it not storing the time. The data type of the column is ( Insertdate date).
    If you query sysdate, it definitly stores time, ... but what is in this case. Is it just storing the date and not the time. ???
    How to alter so that it stores time as well.
    Regards

    U have to use the conversion function to_date to
    store date along with time. No, you use to_date to convert a string to a date. That's it. A date column will ALWAYS store the time (it just won't always display it)
    When u need to retrieve the data use to_char function. Not necessarily:
    SQL> create table x (dte date);
    Table created.
    SQL> insert into x values(sysdate);
    1 row created.
    SQL> insert into x values(sysdate+1);
    1 row created.
    SQL> select * from x;
    DTE

    12-jul-2007 09:13:11
    if u want to store time u can use timestamp data typeNope, You use timestamp if you want to store fractions of seconds (down to nano seconds)
    The key point is. The date datatype ALWAYS stores:
    Century, Year, Month, Day, Hour, Minute, Second

  • DATA EXTRACTION FROM ORACLE & SYBASE

    Hello members...
    Good day. This is my first posting in this site. I am new to Oracle and have a question regarding Data extraction from Oracle and Sybase.
    My project has two applications one having Oracle as the database and the other has Sybase as the database. On the proposed production schedule, there would be a interface data update from the Oracle database to the Sybase database.
    My aim is to check if the data update is in sync after the update. We plan to extract the data from the two databases (Oracle and Sybase) and compare in a Third Party tool. We have the tool to compare. Can any of you suggest a nice data extraction tool. I have to set this data extraction as a batch in the nightly batch schedule.
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    Krishna Kumar...

    Sybase provides the best data extraction utility called BCP. You can load and extract data. It is very user friendly. From your unix prompt if you type in BCP ? you will all the switches and
    help messages you need to use. It is so simple.
    Oracle dosn't have such a utility to extract data from table.
    You need to write a Stored procedure and use UTF_FILE package to
    extract data from table and write into a file.

  • Problem loading PostgreSQL Bytea data type to Oracle Raw data type

    We are migrating our database from PostgreSQL to Oracle. First, we convert the BYTEA data type in PostgreSQL to Oracle RAW. The BYTEA data type is variable bytes array. How can we load the BYTEA data type to Oracle RAW data type? Or I have to convert to different data type. thanks.
    Peter,

    hi,
    Instead of 'interval day to second' in method declaration use internal datatype 'DSINTERVAL_UNCONSTRAINED'.
    There are more unconstrained types in oracle.
