Excel to oracle tables automation

Hi Gurus,
I want to load data from excel(data exist for each table/Tab in the file) into oracle tables(unix environment). Loading should be done using sqlldr and with proper error handling.
How can I implement this automation process.?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am using oracle 10g on the server side, and on the client machine only oracle client software installed. I will have the excel with different spreadsheets per table on the same client machine. can you help me in this scenario, as I dont have personal experience to automate the things like this.
Thanks

Upload data from excel to oracle table

Hi,
if i'm user and using an application and i want to upload data from excel to oracle table on button click . Is it possible by using sql loader.
If yes then please clarify it .
is it possible from client end.
thanks
kam

Yes it is possible using SQL*LDR, External tables and ORCL Export Utility. Though I didn't try Export Utility to load the external files.
SQLLdr sysntax:
Create a control file.
It looks like this
Load data
Infile 'source.dat'
Into Table tablename
Fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"'
{code}
then use sqlldr command from your OS.
{code}
sqlldr userid/password@sid control = filename.ctl, data = source.dat, log = logname.log, bad = badname.log, discard = discardname.discard
{code}

From Microsoft access , import data from Excel to an Access table.
Format that Access Table properly in Design mode.
Create a table as per your specification in oracle Database.
Then export to oracle from access using approppriate ODBC driver.

Format Excel sheet - Oracle COM Automation

Dear gentlemen,
I would like to get your help to generate a formatted excel sheet using Oracle COM Automation, I may don’t know the correct properties to use, or don’t know how to use it.
For example:
To set a cell value I use this line:
hresult:=Ordcom.SetProperty(RangeHandle, 'Value', data, 'BSTR');
and when I tried to fill the same cell with a yello color I used this line:
hresult:=Ordcom.SetProperty(RangeHandle, 'Interior.Color', 65535, 'BSTR');
but that has no effect at all, so please advise what is wrong, this may apply also for the most properties such as “Font.Bold”.
I appreciate so much any help from you.
Best regards,
Nabil

Import from Excel to Oracle table

I have couple questions.
is the 20K Excel file upload limit still apply???
I want to use APEX to upload data from Excel to Oracle, some data manipulation will be needed in the process.
This will be a utility that will be used by users not DBAs or Developers.
It would great if someone has an example application.
or do you think I should use different tool???
Thanks

What are the steps for importing using the SQL
developer?Steps are (assuming you have already installed XE und schema where data should be imported):
1. Install SQL Developer
2. Start SQL Developer
3. Log on into desired schema
4. Open Dialog Box "Excel Import Data"
5. Specify file to import with options
6. Click on OK
7. Check in Navigator imported data's
Done ;-)

Oracle COM Automation Excel Charts

Hi All
I read and manged to get all the COM Demos working from the COM Automation Feature Developer's Guide <http://www.oracle.com/pls/db102/to_toc?pathname=win.102%2Fb14310%2Ftoc.htm&remark=portal+%28Windows%29>.
I have changed the Excel Demo to match what I want to use in my Database. Everything works great except the Excel Chart portion. I what to have Chart Type line but when I use xlLine, the chart still produces a bar chart.
Does anyone know how to produce a Line Chart in Excel using Oracle COM Automation?
I am using Windows Server 2003, Office Standard Edition 2003, and Oracle 10.2
My modified sql is
<pre>
set serveroutput on;

cellIndex:=CONCAT('A',cellColumn);
dateValue:=c1_rec.time;
i:=ORDExcel.InsertData(cellIndex, dateValue, 'DATE');
cellIndex:=CONCAT('B',cellColumn);
cellValue:=c1_rec.flow;
i:=ORDExcel.InsertData(cellIndex, cellValue, 'BSTR');
n:=n+1;
END LOOP;
i:=ORDExcel.InsertChart(100,10,400,400,'Sheet2!$B$2:$B$365,Sheet2!$A$2:$A$365','xlLine');
select TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, 'DD-MON-YYYY') into returnedTime from dual;
filename:=CONCAT(filename, returnedTime);
i:=ORDExcel.SaveExcelFile(filename);
i:=ORDExcel.ExitExcel();
end;
</pre>
Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers

Hi Saubhik ,
i saw that thread, but my question was that is there any limitation that the in order to use Oracle COM Automation should the OS on which oracle database is installed has to be Windows only.
or can it be implement in oracle database installed in Linux OS also ?

Pivot Report in Excel from Oracle data base

I need to bring data in Excel from Oracle table.
The connectivity was established without any problem.
When trying to transform the newly created query into
a pivot table a am not able to see the data inside the
"Data area" of pivot table as it is in the data base
tables, instead Excel transforms the data in Sum, Average,
etc...
I believe it is an Excel issue but I am not sure.
Any sugestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Importing excel data into oracle tables

Hello gurus,
Importing excel data into oracle tables..
I know this is the most common question on the thread ...First, i searched the forum, i found bunch of threads with loading data using sqlloader, converting excel into .Txt, tab delimited file, .csv file etc....
Finally i was totally confused in terms how to get this done....
Here is wat i have
   - Excel file on local computer.
   - i have laod data into dev environment tables(So no risk involved, but want to try something simple)
   - Oracle version 11.1.0.7
   - Sqlplus and toad (editors)
Here is wat i like to do ....i dont know if its possible
    - Without going to unix server can i do everthing on local system by making use of oracle db and sqlplus or toad
   SQLLOADER might be one option...but i dont want to go the unix server for placing files and logs and stuff.
Wat will be best and simplest option to do?? and wat format will best to convert from excel into csv, or txt or tab delimited etc.....
If you suggest sqlloader, any code example will be greatly appriciated.
Thank you so much!!!

Hi,
user642297 wrote:
Imran,
This is increadible option in toad!!! It works absolutely sweet!! I have toad 9.7 version. IT works great. Thank you so much!!You are welcome :)
Well i have further discussion on this ....this option is great if you doing in staging or development area. What if your doing in prod?? If you automating the sqlloader then how do u do it?? I think we still need to stick with traditional approach of laoding data by making use of SQLLoader right ?? If m wrong please correct me.well, in our case, we do have access to a custom schema in prod where we create the staging table and load the data from datafiles.
try this:
load data
infile 'C:\dest.csv'
into table dest_table
fields terminated by "~" optionally enclosed by '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(name,
owner_nm,
description_column,
UPDT_DT DATE 'MM/DD/YYYY')
{code}
you can get more info about sql loader and your error here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a96652/ch05.htm
http://www.allinterview.com/showanswers/53766.html
And one more quick question ...i found an example of control file , in that i see .dat format file. Is it a data file ?? can i try that option ?? But in excel i didnt see to convert the .dat format file.
Any thoughts ???
It is same as a delimiter text file.
steps to create a .dat file (from a excel file):
1. Insert a column between two columns and populate it with the delimiter (in our case, it is ~)
2. Save the file as unicode text.
3. Open the file in text editor and remove all the tabs (find an replace with blank)
4. Save the file as "DEST.dat". Select encoding as UTF-8 while saving.
5. Your .dat file is ready.
Regards
Imran

I appreciate ans sample code to help me do that, Please help me out. This is very urgent.
Thanks alot and best regards,

TEXT_IO is a PL/SQL package available only in Forms (you'll want to post in the Forms forum for more information). It is not available in a stored procedure in the database (where the equivalent package is UTL_FILE).
If the Terminal Server machine and the database machine do not have access to the file system on the client machine, no application running on either machine will have access to the file. Barring exceptional setups (like the FTP server on the client machine), your applications are not going to have more access to the client machine than the operating system does.
If you map the client drives from the Terminal Server box, there is the potential for your Forms application to access those files. If you want the files to be accessible to a stored procedure in the database, you'll need to move the files somewhere the database can access them.
