Dynamic File Generation

Question

I'm trying to generate a file from 3 oracle tables. I don't want to define the file ahead of time, I simply want to create it on the fly. I've created an interface for mapping the tables to the file, but seem to be in a catch 22. I need to create a file/model to set up the mapping, but I don't want to have to create the actual file first. Now, since there's no physical file, I get the following exception when executing the interface:
7000 : null : java.sql.SQLException: Column not found: C1_KEY
java.sql.SQLException: Column not found: C1_KEY
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You don't need to use ODISql Unload.
Set the staging area to your source not to the target
(first tab of your interface)
Choose the IKM SQL to File and set the "Create the target" option to yes
tab flow of your interface.In that case the file will be created.
(Ps if you don't find this KM in your project, import it from impexp directory)
You can also set the truncate option to yes instead of the create target...
Good luck
