Export table data in a flat file without using FL

Hi,
I am looking for options where I can export table data into a flat file without using FL(File Layout) i.e., by using App Engine only.
Please share your experience if you did anything as this
Thanks

A simple way to export any record (table/view) to an csv fiel, is to create a rowset and loop through all record fields, like below example code
Local Rowset &RS;
Local Record &Rec;
Local File &MYFILE;
Local string &FileName, &strRecName, &Line, &Seperator, &Value;
Local number &numRow, &numField;
&FileName = "c:\temp\test.csv";
&strRecName = "PSOPRDEFN";
&Seperator = ";";
&RS = CreateRowset(@("Record." | &strRecName));
&RS.Fill();
&MYFILE = GetFile(&FileName, "W", %FilePath_Absolute);
If &MYFILE.IsOpen Then
   For &numRow = 1 To &RS.ActiveRowCount
      &Rec = &RS(&numRow).GetRecord(@("RECORD." | &strRecName));
      For &numField = 1 To &Rec.FieldCount
         &Value = String(&Rec.GetField(&numField).Value);
         If &numField = 1 Then
            &Line = &Value;
         Else
            &Line = &Line | &Seperator | &Value;
         End-If;
      End-For;
      &MYFILE.WriteLine(&Line);
   End-For;
End-If;
&MYFILE.Close(); You can of course create an application class for generic calling this piece of code.
Hope it helps.
Note:
Do not come complaining to me on performance issues ;)

Export HRMS data to a flat file

Hi All!
Are there any ways of exporting employee related data to a flat file without using a client app (PeopleCode or Integration Broker), that is simply generate a CSV feed from UI?

You can Schedule a query and specify the output format as text. Note that when you select View Log/Trace in process monitor, you will see a file with a .csv extension. However, it will open by default in Excel, and even if you select Save instead of Open it will try to change the extension to .xls. You will have to change it back to .csv.

Exporting table data to a CSV file

hello everyone,
i need help on exporting table data to a CSV file.
I have a div element containing the table which displays some data.
there is a "Export" button just above the table, which if clicked, will export the current data in the table to a .csv file.
can this be done in jsp? or i need to use servlet?
also how can i submit the table data only? (as my webpage contiain other data also)
can anyone provide with some sort of sample code?
thanks in advance!!

oops!!
i just forgot..
when the user will click on the export button, i want to greet him with a "Save As"
popup, so that he can specify the filename and location to save the file.
thanks!!

How can we export table data to a CSV file??

Hi,
I have the following requirement. Initially business agreed upon, exporting the table data to Excel file. But now, they would like to export the table data to a CSV file, which is not being supported by af:exportCollectionActionListener component.
Because, when i opened the exported CSV file, i can see the exported data sorrounded with HTML tags. Hence the issue.
Does someone has any solution for this ... Like, how can we export the table data to csv format. And it should work similar to exporting the data to excel sheet.
For youre reference here is the code which i have used to export the table data..
><f:facet name="menus">
><af:menu text="Menu" id="m1">
><af:commandMenuItem text="Print" id="cmi1">
><af:exportCollectionActionListener exportedId="t1"
>title="CommunicationDistributionList"
>filename="CommunicationDistributionList"
>type="excelHTML"/> ---- I tried with removing value for this attribute. With no value, it did not worked at all.
></af:commandMenuItem>
></af:menu>
></f:facet>
Thanks & Regards,
Kiran Konjeti

Hi Alex,
I have already visited that POST and it works only in 10g. Not in 11g.
I got the solution for this. The solution is :
Use the following code in jsff
==================
<af:commandButton text="Export Data" id="ctb1">><af:fileDownloadActionListener contentType="text/csv; charset=utf-8"
>filename="test.csv"
>method="#{pageFlowScope.pageFlowScopeDemoAppMB.test}"/>
></af:commandButton>
OR
<af:commandButton text="Export Data" id="ctb1">><af:fileDownloadActionListener contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel; charset=utf-8"
>filename="test.csv"
>method="#{pageFlowScope.pageFlowScopeDemoAppMB.test}"/>
></af:commandButton>
And place this code in ManagedBean
======================
> public void test(FacesContext facesContext, OutputStream outputStream) throws IOException {
> DCBindingContainer dcBindings = (DCBindingContainer)BindingContext.getCurrent().getCurrentBindingsEntry();
>DCIteratorBinding itrBinding = (DCIteratorBinding)dcBindings.get("fetchDataIterator");
>tableRows = itrBinding.getAllRowsInRange();
preparaing column headers
>PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(outputStream);
>out.print(" ID");
>out.print(",");
>out.print("Name");
>out.print(",");
>out.print("Designation");
>out.print(",");
>out.print("Salary");
>out.println();
preparing column data
> for(Row row : tableRows){
>DCDataRow dataRow = (DCDataRow)row;
> DataLoaderDTO dto = (DataLoaderDTO)dataRow.getDataProvider();
>out.print(dto.getId());
>out.print(",");
>out.print(dto.getName());
>out.print(",");
>out.print(dto.getDesgntn());
>out.print(",");
>out.print(dto.getSalary());
>out.println();
>}
>out.flush();
>out.close();
> }
And do the following settings(*OPTIONAL*) for your browser - Only in case, if the file is being blocked by IE

Saving a Text data to a PDF file without using print option

Hi,
I want to save a Text to a PDF file. I want to assign the path of the PDF file as a default one.
If I use Print options, then it ask for the file path at the run time.
Is there any method to save to a PDF file without using print option in Labview 8.2.

This question comes up a lot. Did you try searching? It depends on the PDF printer driver that you're using. See here, here, here, ...

Export data to a flat file

Hi all,
I need to export a table data to a flat file.
But the problem is that the data is huge about 200million rows occupying around 60GB of space
If I use SQL*Loader in Toad, it is taking huge time to export
After few months, I need to import the same data again into the table
So please help me which is the efficient and less time taking method to do this
I am very new to this field.
Can some one help me with this?
My oracle database version is 10.2
Thanks in advance

OK so first of all I would ask the following questions:
1. Why must you export the data and then re-import it a few months later?
2. Have you read through the documentation for SQLLDR thoroughly ? I know it is like stereo instructions but it has valuable information that will help you.
3. Does the table the data is being re-imported into have anything attached to it eg: triggers, indices or anything that the DB must do on each record? If so then re-read the the sqlldr documentation as you can turn all of that off during the import and re-index, etc. at your leisure.
I ask these questions because:
1. I would find a way for whatever happens to this data to be accomplished while it was in the DB.
2. Pumping data over the wire is going to be slow when you are talking about that kind of volume.
3. If you insist that the data must be dumped, massaged, and re-imported do it on the DB server. Disk IO is an order of magnitude faster then over the wire transfer.

How to Export Table Data to a excel sheet using OPENROWSET

Hi Team,
I would like to Export table data to a excel sheet by using "OPENROWSET" command in SQL Server but I am getting the
below error message
Column name or number of supplied values does not match table definition.
Please help me on how to export the table data to an excel sheet by using "OPENROWSET" in SQL Server

I know this is old so I assume you've fixed this. However, for anyone else looking at this forum, I'd recommend using a union or a table join.
Select a.1, a.2, a.3 from a <where clause>
union
Select b.1, b.2, b.3 from b <where clause>
or
use a type of join.
If both table selects return the same number of columns but different data just reference them as a variable like fred, and Ted
Select fred.1, fred.2, fred.3 from (Select a.1, a.2, a.3 from a) fred
union
Select Ted.1, Ted.2, Ted.3 from (Select b.1, b.2, b.3 from b) Ted
or again some type of join of these two sets
Select * from
(Select a.1, a.2, a.3 from a) a
INNER JOIN (Select b.1, b.2, b.3 from b) b ON b.1 = a.1
This would give you 6 columns of data a1-3, and b1-3
We don't know from your description what format your spreadsheet is in. These just give you the idea. Think of the sub-selects as a Table. It's just named "fred". Once your select holds all the data you need, then export the data to the spreadsheet. Use
the horsepower of the database before trying to do a multple update of the same spreadsheet.
Does this give you enough to fix what you were trying to do?

Export table data to Pdf file

Hi all,
I have a .jspx page wich contains a table and a button with an exportCollectionActionListener to export the table data to an excell file.
Now i want to do the same but to a pdf file.
Is that posible, and if so how can I do that?
If it isn't posible is there any way to do that.
Thanks all,
Rowan

Hi!
Yes, the first step is to learn iReport. Then, investigate Jasper Forums where you will find lot of code and hints.
To produce a report you have to:
1. Create report definition and compile it in report files used by Jasper API later on (this you learn on Jasper forums)
2. Create java code in your project to generate report (based on datasource in your app) - this is just java code which doesnt have anything special to ADF/JDev - learn this also on Jasper forums
3. Decide which mechanism you will use to downstream report output (whichever render you select when generate report - PDF, HTML, Excle, RTF...) - there are two options:
a. Use standard JSP Servlet, where you just have to generate report and downstream it into servlet's output stream
b. more ADF 11g way - using af:fileDownloadActionListener with backingbean to downstream a generated report content
That's it. You have to design your own strategy for supplying report query parameters (through Http Request params or any other way dependent on mechanism you decide to use).
Try Googling for Jdeveloper Jasper and you will find several blogs/forums on this topic (try JDeveloper and Jasper.. HTML Report without information The servlet technique is same as in 10g and for ADF 11g way you have to manage yourself.

Export table data in text file

hi,
i am using oracle 8.0.7 , i want to export a table data in to text file, thanks in advance
Noman ul haq

2 options:
1) Spool the query results into a file using SQL*PLUS
2) If you can use the Oracle Server, look at the UTL_FILE package. This writes files, but ONLY to the Oracle server. It will NOT write out to your client machine. Your DBA will need to add an entry to allow for the UTL_FILE package to write out to the directory you choose.
Hope that helps - the documentation should have detailed usage of UTL_FILE package. Or search on this site b/c this is a common question - see it at least 3 times a week.

What is the best way to load and convert data from a flat file?

Hi,
I want to load data from a flat file, convert dates, numbers and some fields with custom logic (e.g. 0,1 into N,Y) to the correct format.
The rows where all to_number, to_date and custom conversions succeed should go into table STG_OK. If some conversion fails (due to an illegal format in the flat file), those rows (where the conversion raises some exception) should go into table STG_ERR.
What is the best and easiest way to archive this?
Thanks,
Carsten.

Hi,
thanks for your answers so far!
I gave them a thought and came up with two different alternatives:
Alternative 1
I load the data from the flat file into a staging table using sqlldr. I convert the data to the target format using sqlldr expressions.
The columns of the staging table have the target format (date, number).
The rows that cannot be loaded go into a bad file. I manually load the data from the bad file (without any conversion) into the error table.
Alternative 2
The columns of the staging table are all of type varchar2 regardless of the target format.
I define data rules for all columns that require a later conversion.
I load the data from the flat file into the staging table using external table or sqlldr without any data conversion.
The rows that cannot be loaded go automatically into the error table.
When I read the data from the staging table, I can safely convert it since it is already checked by the rules.
What I dislike in alternative 1 is that I manually have to create a second file and a second mapping (ok, I can automate this using OMB*Plus).
Further, I would prefer using expressions in the mapping for converting the data.
What I dislike in alternative 2 is that I have to create a data rule and a conversion expression and then keep the data rule and the conversion expression in sync (in case of changes of the file format).
I also would prefer to have the data in the staging table in the target format. Well, I might load it into a second staging table with columns having the target format. But that's another mapping and a lot of i/o.
As far as I know I need the data quality option for using data rules, is that true?
Is there another alternative without any of these drawbacks?
Otherwise I think I will go for alternative 1.
Thanks,
Carsten.

Uploading the data from a flat file into ztable

Hi,
I have a requirement where I have to upload the data from 2 flat files into 2 z tables(ZRB_HDR,ZRB_ITM).From the 1st flat file only data for few fields have to be uploaded into ztable(ZRB_HRD) .Fromthe 2nd flat file data for all the fields have to me uploaded into ztable(ZRB_ITM). How can I do this?
Regards,
Hema

hi,
declare two internal table with structur of your tables.
your flat files should be .txt files.
now make use of GUI_UPLOAD function module to upload your flatfile into internal tables.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      filename            = 'c:\file1.txt'
      has_field_separator = 'X'
    TABLES
      data_tab            = itab1
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS              = 1.
use this function twice for two tables.
then loop them individually and make use of insert command.

Problem in the BDC program to upload the data from a flat file.

Hi,
I am required to write a BDC program to upload the data from a flat file. The conditions are as mentioned below:-
1) Selection Screen will be prompted to user and user needs to provide:- File Path on presentation server (with F4 help for this obligatory parameter) and File Separator e.g. @,#,$,%,... etc(fields in the file will be separated by using this special character) or fields may be separated by tab(tab delimited).
2) Finally after the data is uploaded, following messages need to be displayed:-
a) Total Number of records successfully uploaded.
b) Session Name
c) Number of Sessions created.
Problem is when each record is fetched from flat file, the record needs to be split into individual fields separated by delimiter or in case tab separated, then proceeding in usual manner.
It would be great if you provide me either the logic, pseudocode, or sample code for this BDC program.
Thanks,

Here is an example program, if you require the delimitor to be a TAB, then enter TAB on the selection screen, if you require the delimitor to be a comma, slash, pipe, whatever, then simply enter that value. This example is simply the uploading of the file, not the BDC, I assume that you know what to do once you have the data into the internal table.

Procurement Card data upload from flat file to database

Hi All,
I need to upload Procurement Card data from a flat file to the database in the table BBP_PCMAS.
I found a BAPI BAPI_PCARD_CREATEMULTIPLE which uploads the data perfectly, however the structure PCMASTER that it takes as input does not contain the field for Blocking reason PCBLOCK - Reason for blocking procurement card. I need to upload this file as well from the flat file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
You are correct the function module BAPI_PCARD_CREATEMULTIPLE does not contain the PCBLOCK field.
Alternatively what you can do is read the PC data after it is created and modify it with the PCBLOCK appropiately. The necessary function modules are given below.
BBP_PCMAS_READ_PCMAS - Read Data
BBP_PCMAS_MODIFY_PCMAS - Modify Data
Note: BBP_PCMAS_MODIFY_PCMAS is a Update Task FM. Hence it shoild be called as given below, ( refer form write_data of the FM BAPI_PCARD_CREATEMULTIPLE)
call function 'BBP_PCMAS_MODIFY_PCMAS' in update task
       exporting
            i_pcmas     = i_pcmas
*         I_PCMAS_OLD =
*         I_DELETE    =
      tables
           t_pcacc     = i_pcacc
*         T_PCACC_OLD =
      exceptions
           not_found   = 1
           others      = 2.
