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

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

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.

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:

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

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 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

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'

FIELDS

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

Getting an error while selecting from table having CLOB column.

Hi All,
I have below table created in My oracle database version Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0.
CREATE TABLE my_clob -- Dummy table created
(DataBody CLOB);
Current Database Character set - WE8MSWIN1250.
On the front end of my application, I have one form through which I can save/edit data in the above table. If I'm creating one new entry in the above table then it first check with existing record to avoid the duplicate entry and the this point application create the below select statement on the above table and return the error "ORA-00932: inconsistent data types: expected - got CLOB".
I can not change the sql statement.
SELECT * FROM my_clob WHERE databody IS NULL OR databody ='';
Even when I run the same statement on my DB server I’m getting the same error. Shown below
SQL> SELECT * FROM my_clob WHERE databody IS NULL OR databody ='';
SELECT * FROM my_clob WHERE databody IS NULL OR databody =''
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got CLOB
SQL>
Is there anything with OraOLEDB which causing this error? Please help me out to get rid of this error.
Thanks,
Santosh

You cannot compare directly a CLOB column with a VARCHAR2 column. In your case you don't need to do such comparison because Oracle consider zero length strings as null values:
SQL> create table my_clob(data int, databody clob);
Table created.
SQL> insert into my_clob values(1, null);
1 row created.
SQL> insert into my_clob values(2, '');
1 row created.
SQL> commit;
Commit complete.
SQL> select * from my_clob where databody is null;
      DATA
DATABODY
         1
         2About null values in Oracle, please read http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/sql_elements005.htm#SQLRF30037.

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.

Getting javascript error while selecting the Recipients in OBIEE delivers.

Hi All,
I am working on OBIEE from quite a long time, but recently I came across a error while selecting the Recipients in Recipients list of OBIEE delivers.
Making it more comprehensive, when I try to create an ibot , after entering all necessary information when I select Recipients in Recipients list and click on ok. I get a JavaScript error "null" is null or an object. The surprising thing is when i select cancel it works as ok.
Any help will be highly appreciated
Thanks,
Jyoti

I think you dont have a field named /BIC/XXXXXX in the table from which you are trying to fetch the data. Chech the spelling of the field name and table name.

Hi,
Briefly, I do an example of displaying a list of components (and already it works properly), but when I added a link to the removal of components I have encountered an error
Voila details
function code delete
public void deleteComposantMethod(String action,String param)
System.out.println("Now we are inside deleteComposantMethod");
System.out.println("we search composant with numcomp : "+param);
ComposantVOImpl inst=getComposantVO1();
Row row[]=inst.getAllRowsInRange();
for(int i=0;i<row.length;i++)
ComposantVORowImpl rowi=(ComposantVORowImpl)row;
System.out.println("checking the composant ===> "+rowi.getNumcomp());
if(param.equals(rowi.getNumcomp().toString()))
try{
rowi.remove();
getOADBTransaction().commit();
System.out.println("Deleting succes");
catch(Exception ex)
System.out.println("error : \n"+ex.getMessage());
return;
in the browser page component disapru it seems that it works correctly, but nothing changes at data base and voila the error message I get from embedder OC4J server log

Hi,
for those who have encountered the same problem as me, you should check that the table name sql query is of the form Name_Schema.Name_Table.
For this right click on the entity in the workspace> edit entity> Database Objects> Schema Objects and add the schema name before table name( Name_Schema.Name_Table).
thanks,

Error while selecting entity

Hi
I keep getting the "JBO-26080: Error while selecting entity for Units" error. Below is the query in my View Object. If I remove the Units(Enitty) from the query it works fine but I need to have that in the query. This error occurs only when I do "Reset" on the screen which in turn calls "getSearchProgramView().getCurrentRow().refresh(Row.REFRESH_WITH_DB_FORGET_CHANGES);"
Can some one explain how to get rid of this problem? When I run the query in TOAD it works fine.

Xml parsing error while selecting whole result set for sql query

Hi All,
I am having xml parsing error while selecting whole query result set. The data is coming fine for default result set of 50 rows.
My exception is below.
ORA-31011: XML parsing failed
ORA-19202: Error occurred in XML processing
LPX-00234: namespace prefix "xsi" is not declared
Error at line 1
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 254

*31011. 00000 - "XML parsing failed"*
**Cause: XML parser returned an error while trying to parse the document.*
**Action: Check if the document to be parsed is valid.*
My sql query is below that is giving results for default result set of 50 rows.
select extract(xmlType(clob_xml_colm_name), '//v2:node1//childnode/text()','xmlns:v2="namespace_url"').getStringVal() from table_name
My sql developer version is below.
Java(TM) Platform     1.7.0_04
Oracle IDE     3.1.07.42
Versioning Support     3.1.07.42
My database version is below.
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bit
Please could any one help me urgently as the sql query is supposed to be correct as it is returning query results, but the problem happening when i try to select whole result set.
Thanks and regards,

What does the XML look like? It appears that some of the supposed XML stored as a CLOB is not really valid XML. Find the row in the table that is causing your issue and review the "XML" in it.
