quote from the docs:
"Note that READ or WRITE permission to a directory object means only that the Oracle database will read or write that file on your behalf. You are not given direct access to those files outside of the Oracle database unless you have the appropriate operating system privileges. Similarly, the Oracle database requires permission from the operating system to read and write files in the directories."

You are missing something. Most probably the file does not exists in your specified path. This is working in my 10.2.0.3
Step1: Check the file is actually there.

Thank u..!

Where can we find that directory in the server. You have to provide for it's existence.
So you must create C:/Oracle on the server or have your ext_tab_dir point to some existing directory on the server (better if dedicated to external tables for not creating confusion)
You must also see to have read and write OS rights and have granted read (and write) privileges on directory ext_tab_dir to your_user_name
Regards
Etbin
If you can use utl_file try to use utl_file_dir as your ext_tab_dir to perform the test => copy your file to the directory your utl_file_dir is pointing to and do select * from test

KUP-01005 error when selecting external table

Hi All,
My name is arun. I am having trouble resolving the following error. I tried to google, search oracle forum but no avail. I would really appreciate some help? I hope someone point me to the right direction with this problem. Thank you.
Scenario :
I have done the following :
1. Created the external directories using a user account(KDEV199). However by default its owned by SYS user.
2. Created the table necessary for selection. This was done by user account(KDEV199)
3. I have granted the folder privileges owned by oinstall:oracle where the 2 physical files exists. Thus all the files is owned by oracle. This was done at OS layer.
4. I have created 2 files necessary to extract data & read in oracle. This was done at OS layer.
The problem is that i have the following when i try to select the table :
SQL> select * from TEXN_IGM_MST;
select * from TEXN_IGM_MST
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout

Invalid number error when using external table

Hello.
I have a problem with creating an external table with number field.
My txt file looks like:
11111|text text|03718
22222|text text text|04208
33333|text|04215
I try to create external table like:
create table table_ex (
id varchar2(5),
name varchar2(100),
old_id number(5))
organization external (Type oracle_loader default directory dir
access parameters(
RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
fields terminated by '|'
(id, name, old_id))
location ('file.txt'));
When i create the table and run select i get this in log file:
Field Definitions for table TABLE_EX
Record format DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
Data in file has same endianness as the platform
Rows with all null fields are accepted
Fields in Data Source:
ID CHAR (255)
Terminated by "|"
Trim whitespace same as SQL Loader
NAME CHAR (255)
Terminated by "|"
Trim whitespace same as SQL Loader
OLD_ID CHAR (255)
Terminated by "|"
Trim whitespace same as SQL Loader
error processing column OLD_ID in row 1 for datafile
/dir/file.txt
ORA-01722: invalid number
Whats the problem?
Any idea?
Thanks

Try this:
create table table_ex
id varchar2(5),
name varchar2(100),
old_id number
organization external
(Type oracle_loader default directory dir access parameters
( RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE fields terminated by '|'
(id CHAR(5),
name CHAR(100),
old_id CHAR(5)
location ('file.txt')
I have removed the length of Number field and added length in characters later

Is it possible to create External Table dynamically ?
I want to use the following dynamically to create External Table.

The answer shouldn't be very different of already given answers in your Can i create external table dynamically? of the last month, is it ?
And question is still same : why wanted such thing ?

ok .. i want to delete all rows from table in the end when execute this PL/SQLdelete all rows from what table?
If you're referring to the external table, it's a file on the filesystem, you don't delete rows from it, you just replace/overwrite/delete the file as and when necessary.
blushadow how i crate a reliable code.. can u suggest me?Basics of transactions... you commit when a business rule/process is complete, not for every little technical thing your code does. In your case I would expect a single commit at the end of the code.
I don't have your tables, data or know what the code is supposed to be achieving, but you can bet your bottom dollar that if you're nesting cursor loops within each other then the code is running much slower than if you generated the data from a single SQL statement/cursor. I certainly have no clue what those procedure calls are doing, but it looks like they're using a load of OUT parameters. Are they user defined procedures or something that's part of e.g. Oracle Apps? If they're user defined I would consider redesigning all the code to use functions and pass back a structured data type with the required data.

Hi,
i am trying to create External database tables using XML data server.
i am getting the following error,i have done this same thing for small xml files before.
Java.sql.SQLException: ORA-00904: : invalid identifier

Thanks,

RK,
With no details of how you configured the XML server, what were the parameters used in the configuration for using external database, etc, I dont know how much can someone help you.
This is an Oracle error, so a few things that could be problematic with your "big" xml -
1.) An element name could be of length > 30 characters (Oracle table name length limit is 30)
2.) There are some special characters in the element name
3.) Element name begins with a Number
4.) Element name is an Oracle reserved word.
This list can go on.

The output you posted is completely wrong, I could not even create the table without errors.
Try with this.

Error while importing external table

Hello,
I am getting the following error message when trying to import an external table:
SQL Exception
SQL Exception
Repository Error:SQL Exception..
Class Name: CacheMediator.
Method Name: getDDEntryFromDB.
Repository Error Message: ORA-22992: cannot use LOB locators selected from remote tables
I am using the "import..."- function of "external tables" in warehouse target module. The external table is working correctly when accessing it via sqlplus.
We are using owb version 10.2.0.1.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best regards
Alexander

My friends, this a documented BUG into Metalink, but there is no solution.
I used a simple workaround:
1. I created the external table into the database;
2. I created the external table into the OWB repository;
3. I DIDN'T DEPLOY THE EXTERNAL TABLE TO THE DATABASE;
4. I used the external table into my mappings with no problems;
5. Finishing, I deployed my mappings to the database without any errors.
Hope to help!,
Gustavo.

Error while accessing External table.

Hi All,
While accessing oracle external table. I created the table with the following query.
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY load_dir AS '\\oraaps\Exceldata\'
CREATE TABLE my_sheet
DEPTNO NUMBER,
DNAME VARCHAR2(14),
LOC VARCHAR2(13)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE oracle_loader

logfile load_dir:'my_sheet.log'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL
DEPTNO,
DNAME,
LOC
LOCATION ('my_sheet.csv')
)REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
I am sure that the table and the directory got created because i can see the table in the SQL developer. But whenever i say select * from my_sheet i'm getting the following error in the log file.
LOG file opened at 10/16/06 14:48:21

Please do reply..Its urgent from my project deliverable point of view.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks and Regards.

It is not an Oracle error/problem. The error message is quite specific ito the actual root cause of the problem:
KUP-04001: error opening file \\oraaps\Exceldata\mysheet.csv
KUP-04017: OS message: The data is invalid.
These are operating system errors. The operating system cannot access/open/read the specific UNC and/or file.
Fix it at o/s level and it will work when Oracle needs to make that o/s call.

Error while using External Table

Hi Guru's,
I am using external tables in my procedure and the code to create it will be dynamically built inside the procedure itself. I have tested it so many times and it works fine only. But suddenly now it is throwing some error and i was not able to figure out the problem.
Additional Info:
1. I have provided the full rights to the input directory.
2. Working in Oracle 10g release 2
3. Unix OS in server

Sometimes when troubleshooting issues like this it is helpful to output the dynamic SQL generated to the screen or spool it to a text file. From there it's usually easy to determine where the problem lies.
If you can provide that one of the forum members can figure it out.

OWB 10g R1 : Error while accessing External Table

Dear All,
We have created few external and registered them using os user oracle.
Now , we have changed to user 'oratester' and reregistered the location.
oratester is having all the rights on the folder which the external table is refering.
Still , we are facing with the following error:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout ORA-29400: data cartridge error KUP-04063: unable to open log file log_test.txt OS error Permission denied
If anybody is having any idea how to solve this error, please reply
Thanks in Advance
malle

yah. Ive configured the accessing parameters.
The code generated , has the following
ACCESS PARAMETERS (
RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
CHARACTERSET WE8MSWIN1252
STRING SIZES ARE IN BYTES
BADFILE ALL_DB_LOC_CMN_FLS_LOG_LOC:'bad_central.txt'

Which OS does oracle use to create log/bad files?

ORA-00942 when creating external table under 10g with AQ

I have an application that runs with AQ. The front-end queues up batch-type
tasks in a queue. When one particular kind of message is dequeued, it
initiates a data load. That load requires the creation of an external
table.
The schema in question is owned by user BL (bulkload). The queue
is owned by BLB (bulkload batch), primarily to simplify some of the
rules needed by the resource manager in order to limit the total CPU
a batch process can consume. The BLB user has full access to the
BL schema, along with the following rights:
CREATE TYPE
CREATE TABLE
CREATE SEQUENCE
CREATE PROCEDURE
CREATE VIEW
CREATE SYNONYM
CREATE SEQUENCE
ALTER SESSION
CREATE SESSION
QUERY REWRITE
CREATE ANY CONTEXT
EXECUTE_CATALOG_ROLE
CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW
CREATE ANY DIRECTORY
DROP ANY DIRECTORY
The table creation works fine under 9.2.0.8 (our current required
version). However the application generates an ORA-00942 table or view does
not exist when run under 10g (10.2.0.1 and 10.2.0.3).
The following statement is the problem:
CREATE TABLE bulkload33 (
          field1 VARCHAR2(2000),field2 VARCHAR2(2000),field3 VARCHAR2(2000))
          ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL (
          TYPE oracle_loader DEFAULT DIRECTORY EXT_100
          ACCESS PARAMETERS ( RECORDS DELIMITED BY "\r\n"
          CHARACTERSET 'WE8ISO8859P1'
          BADFILE EXT_100:'bulkload_bad.csv'
          LOGFILE EXT_100:'bulkload_log.csv'
          FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
          OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL REJECT ROWS WITH ALL NULL FIELDS (
          field1 CHAR(2000),field2 CHAR(2000),field3 CHAR(2000),field4 CHAR(2000)))
          LOCATION ('bulkload.csv')
          ) REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED PARALLEL;
To clarify, the preceding statement, when handled by the process
for a queue message, failes with an ORA-00942.
Note that I can issue the command directly, as BLB or SYS, against
the BL schema with no problems. Further, as user BLB or SYS, I can do
the following:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE dotest
IS
     l_sql varchar2(2000);
BEGIN
     l_sql := 'CREATE TABLE bulkload33 (
          field1 VARCHAR2(2000),field2 VARCHAR2(2000),field3 VARCHAR2(2000))
          ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL (
          TYPE oracle_loader DEFAULT DIRECTORY EXT_100
          ACCESS PARAMETERS ( RECORDS DELIMITED BY "\r\n"
          CHARACTERSET ''WE8ISO8859P1''
          BADFILE EXT_100:''bulkload_bad.csv''
          LOGFILE EXT_100:''bulkload_log.csv''
          FIELDS TERMINATED BY '',''
          OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY ''"'' MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL REJECT ROWS WITH ALL NULL FIELDS (
          field1 CHAR(2000),field2 CHAR(2000),field3 CHAR(2000),field4 CHAR(2000)))
          LOCATION (''bulkload.csv'')
          ) REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED PARALLEL';
     EXECUTE IMMEDIATE l_sql;
END;
show errors
EXEC dotest
Does anyone have any ideas of why this doesn't work under 10g? Metalink
has yielded no clues so far.
Thanks.

Define "has full access to the BL schema" given that it is impossible to grant access rights, in Oracle, by schema. What was done and how was it done?
My guess is that the privs were granted in a role, rather than explicitly, as is required for PL/SQL.
