Exporting table data to .csv file

How to export the table data (this table is having 18 million records) to .csv file. using SQL Developer and PL/SQL deveoloper it is taking too long time to complete. Please let me know is there any faster way to complete this task.
Thanks in advance

Also bear in mind that SQL Developer and PL/SQL Developer are running on your local client, so it's transferring all 18 million rows to the client before formatting and putting them out to a file. If you had some PL/SQL code to export it on the database server it would run a lot faster as you wouldn't have the network traffic delay to deal with, although your file would then reside on the server rather than the client (which isn't necessarily a bad thing as a lot of companies would be concerned about the security of their data especially if it ends up being stored on local machines rather than on a secure server).
As already asked, why on earth do you need to store 18 million rows in a CSV file? The database is the best place to keep the data.

This may not be an option for you but in pinch you may want to consider outputing your data to an MS Spreadsheet, then saving it as a CSV. It's somewhat of a cumbersome process, but it will get you by for now.
You will need to change your content type to application/vnd.ms-excel.
<% response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel"); %>

Export batch data into CSV file using SQL SP

Hi,
I have created WCF-Custom receive adapter to poll Sql SP (WITH xmlnamespaces(DEFAULT 'Namespace' and For XML PATH(''), Type) . Get the result properly in batch while polling and but getting error while converting into CSV by using map.
Please can anyone give me some idea to export SQL data into CSV file using SP.

How are you doing this.
You would have got XML representation for the XML batch received from SQL
You should have a flat-file schema representing the CSV file which you want to send.
Map the received XML representation of data from SQL to flat-file schema
have custom pipeline with flat-file assembler on the assembler stage of the send pipeline.
In the send port use the map which convert received XML from SQL to flat file schema and use the above custom flat-file disassembler send port

Manually doing that is next to impossible for all the tables...
Is there any way out???

Exporting table data into text files

I got a request to export the data from about 85 tables into 85 text files. I assume that they will want a header row and some delimiter character. This is a process that must run every night by a sql job.
Obviously I want it to be flexible. Tables could be addede and removed and columns could be added and removed. There will probably be a control table that has the list of tables to export.
Looked at bcp - but seems that it is command line only?
SSIS package?
What other options are there?

Wanted to post my solution. Ended up using bcp in a PowerShell Script. I was unable to use bcp in SQL because it requires xp_cmdshell and that is not allowed at many of our client sites. So wrote a Powershell script that executes bcp. The ps script
loops through a table that contains a row for each table/view to export along with many values and switches for the table/view export: export path, include column headers, enclose each field in double quotes, double up embedded double quotes, how to format
dates, what to return for NULL integers - basically the stuff that is not flexible in bcp. To get this flexibility I created a SQL proc that takes these values as input and creates a view. Then the PS bcp does a SELECT on the view. Many of my tables are
very wide and bcp has a limit of 4000/8000. Some of my SELECT statements ended up being GT 35k in length. So using a view got around this size limitation.
Anyway, the view creation and bcp download is really fast. It can download about 4 gb of data in 20 minutes. It can download it faster the 7z can zip it.
Below is the SQL proc to format the SELECT statement to create the view for bcp (or some other utility like SQLCMD, Invoke-SQLCMD) or SQL query by "SELECT * from v_ExportData". the proc can be used from SQL or PS, or anything that can call a SQL
Proc and then read a SQL view.
IF EXISTS (SELECT * FROM sys.objects WHERE object_id = OBJECT_ID(N'[dbo].[ExportTablesCreateView]') AND type in (N'P', N'PC'))
DROP PROCEDURE [dbo].[ExportTablesCreateView]
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[ExportTablesCreateView]
ExportTablesCreateView
Description:
Read in a tablename or viewname with parameters and create a view v_ExportTable of the
data. The view will typically be read by bcp to download SQL table data to flat files.
bcp does not have the options to include column headers, include fields in double quotes,
format dates or use '0' for integer NULLS. Also, bcp has a limit of varhar 4000 and
wider tables could not be directly called by bcp. So create the v_ExportTable and have
bcp SELECT v_ExportTable instead of the original table or view.
Parameters:
@pTableName VARCHAR(128) - table or view to create v_ExportTable from
@pColumnHeader INT =1 - include column headers in the first row
@pDoubleQuoteFields INT = 1 - put double quotes " around all column values including column headers
@pDouble_EmbeddedDoubleQuotes INT = 1 - This is usually used with @pDoubleQuoteFields INT = 1. 'ab"c"d would be 'ab""c""d.
@pNumNULLValue VARCHAR(1) = '0' - NULL number data types will export this value instead of bcp default of ''
@pDateTimeFormat INT = 121 - DateTime data types will use this format value
Example:
EXEC ExportTablesCreateView 'custname', 1, 1, 1, '0', 121
@pTableName VARCHAR(128),
@pColumnHeader INT = 1,

Reg: Export table data into CSV

Hi Experts,
I'm stuck up with a requirement, where I have to export data of all tables from a schema into separate table specific CSV files.
I tried using SQL Plus 'SPOOL' but it gives me additional queries executed on top of CSV generated.
Also, i'm not getting the headers (coz i'm using pagesize 0 )
Any help id highly appreciated?

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.

I have to dump the BKPF table data(some selected columns) into a txt file. It has around 30 lakh records.
I am planning to select the data from se16 for different date ranges and export into different txt files.
Is there any way that i can dump the whole data into a txt file for some selected columns.
Thanks,

Hi,
goto se16> select the records as per requirement> goto change layout> select the number of column you required> click on the export option> select radio button unconverted> save the file in txt format.
you will get only select columns in the text file.

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.

Exporting Table Data as CSV

I am having to export a schema's tables in CSV format. The largest has 10,000,000 rows.
I've written an SQL*Plus script that automatically creates a SQL script for each table using the USER_TABLES view. So far, so good...
Unfortunately, running the 10,000,000 row export script, for example, takes 20 hours (down from 40 hours thanks to several SET commands to aid efficiency). The output file is 900Mb.
Is there a better (as in quicker) way? I threw it at TOAD which, er, croaked!

Tom Kyte has a few utilities to do this kind of thing. Try this link to see what he has available.

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,

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

but my script is having some thing like below
SET ESCAPE ON
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
SET ECHO OFF
SET HEADING ON
SET COLSEP ','
SET FEEDBACK OFF
SET PAGESIZE 0
SET LINESIZE 5000
SET TRIMSPOOL OFF
SET TERMOUT OFF
This is not working...
I believe something is trying to overwrite the functionalilty of set termout off in this case
Please help me,....So go to the SQL*Plus reference manual and read up on each of the SET options you listed above . . .

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.

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 ;)
