External Table error: KUP-04043: table column not found in external source

I am trying to get the syntaxc correct for an external table.

I have the directories INPUT_DIR and INPUT_LOGDIR defined, and read/write access granted to the user who creates the table and tried to query from it.
I have tried various combinations of VARCHAR2 lengths and NUMBER vs VARCHAR2 for some of the numeric fields.
I am not getting any Bad, Log or Discard files.
I can do a GET from the SQL prompt, and see the data:
SQL> GET 'C:\temp\input_dir'myfile.rpt'
and I see the data.
Windows 7
Oracle 11.2
I am not positive of the newline record delimiter - these files are generated by an automated system. Probably generated on a UNIX machine.
Any suggestions on what to try would be helpful.
KUP-04043 error message says to check the syntax .. .I am running out of thigns to check.
Thank you - Karen

And the get ( I created the sanitized file, so we have a real working, failing, santiized example):

External table error in windows environment

Can i create external table from directory which is on network drive not on local server where oracle is intsalled. I am receiving follwoing error when I try to query external table poinittng to directory object on network drive in windows. Thanks

I suspect not. Copy the file to a local disk location, point the directory or a directory to it, update the external table definition if necessary, repeat. If this run works then you have your answer.

IPhoto: library export to external HD = error message

Hi,
i am trying to export my complete iPhoto library to my external harddisk, but every time i try to copy it i receive the following error message after a while:
The Finder could not complete this operation because some data could not be read or written in "iPhoto Library".
(Error -36)
After this message (appears after approx. 2GB has been copied successfully), the process stops and i can begin from the very beginning. I really don't get the problem. Did the same with iTunes and this was not a problem at all. The library contains about 120 GB photos and videos, free storage is given and HD is compatible with OSX. OSX and iPhoto are running up-to-date.
Does anybody know possible solutions for this issue? would be grate!
Thanks in advance and regards
Daniel

That error code is an I/O (input/output) error. Run Disk Utility and repair the permissions and disk on the EHD. Make sure the external HD is formatted OS X Extended (journaled) with permissions set to be ignored:
Do the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
2 - Run Option #1, Repair Permissions.
3 - repeat Step 1 but this time select Option #4, Rebuild Database.
4 - try copying the library to the EHD again.
If that fails this should work:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
2 - select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
5 - in the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed, i.e. the EHD. Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Querying external tables ERROR no not English version 10g R2 ¿BUG 5172459?

Hello
I have a serious problem when trying to view the content of external tables under Oracle 10R2 in Spanish
Steps to perform:
1. Make directory on file system (in oracle server side).
2. Copy a data file into this directory.
3. Login (sqlplus) as "sys as sysdba"
4. Make one oracle directory object
5. Grant permits read / write to a user 'simple_uesr'
6. Logout sys, and login as 'simple_user'
7. Make a external table, which uses the directory and data file.
8. Run query 'select * from myExtTable' to check it.
I have repeated these steps on Oracle 9i Enterprise, Oracle 10gR2 Enterprise, and Oracle 10g XE, and always, always worked perfectly (no problems).
The problem occurs in the client's DB (Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.2.0 SPANISH), everything works fine until the step 8 (querying external tables), where systematically the following error occurs:
ERROR en línea 1:
ORA-29913: error al ejecutar la llamada de ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN
ORA-29400: error de cartucho de datos
KUP-00552: internal XAD package failed to load
ORA-06512: en "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", línea 19
I have made many tests, such as assigning a wrong directory to external table, remove the data file, remove access permissions, and always, always gives the same error, nerver error "file not found...etc, etc".
I have concluded that the failure, which occurs before Oracle even try to access the file system, but I do not know what may be the cause.
Searching the Internet, I found the following links:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_ora_29913_external_table_error.htm
http://zalbb.itpub.net/post/980/249423
Where mention the BUG 5172459 (MetaLink Note: 373168.1), but after follow the directions, still does not work.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thanks!

Let's go through errors you posted:
First error (ORA-29913) indicating error occurs when Oracle tryed to access external table.
Then ORA-29400 says that error has occurred in a data cartridge external procedure.
And then finally KUP-00552 - an error was encountered while attempting to initialize the XAD package.
So did you check state of the XAD package in that database?
Also, please post code you used in steps 4. and 7.

Can't mount 1tb External HDD - error message

Hello,
First of all, I wasn't sure exactly where to post this, so please let me know if it should be moved.
Als, I have done pretty extensive searches on this problem ad error message but all the results were about 2 years old - i'm posting now in the hope that someone has some new answers!
I have a Macbook August 2007 model, and I have been using a Iomega 1TB external hardrive with no problems for the last year, until yesterday..
I can only think that I might have been too quick to take out the usb cable after ejecting it or the mac was too slow responding after I clicked to eject - I was running iMovie HD at the same time, which seems to slow things down. Now it will not mount, though I can see it in Disk Utility. I'm gutted if this is what caused it because I am so meticulous about ejecting it properly!!
When I tried to verify and repair, I got the following error code:
Verify and Repair disk “ABBY'S 1TB”
** /dev/disk2s1
** Phase 1 - Read FAT
Unable to read FAT (Input/output error)
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 non HFS volume checked
1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
I'm not technical enough to know which way it has been formatted, sorry.. but I just looked on Disk Utility and it says 'MS-DOS File System (FAT32)' .. I don't know what FAT and HFS mean...
I heard that if i try to mount it on a PC, it might work and then I could copy everything to dvds and try to reformat it.. is this a good option? I don't actually have a pc, I have used Macs for years, but I could wait til next week and find one to use..
But if anyone has any tips on how I can try to repair it or recover the lost data, I'd be really happy to hear from you.
Thanks,
Abby

Hey there Shaun7036,
It sounds like you are unable to mount your external USB drive when you connect it to your Mac and you have already reformatted, and repaired it. I would next reset your SMC and then your PRAM.
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3964
Then:
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information.

External table error (no data showing)

Hi Guys,
Need some help on my external table. I have an existing external table (MA_EXT) when I select the table no data is showing and there is no error in the log file and there is no bad file. The next thing I did to check if the error is in the file is to copy the same code and just rename the external table (MA_EXT2) and it worked just fine (data is showing no changes in the code just external table name). So the next step I did was to drop and recreate the external table (MA_EXT) but the same thing happened the data is not showing and no error in log file and no bad file.
BTW this is in 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit
Has anyone encountered this? TIA...

Either you are correct or Oracle is correct.
I bet Oracle is correct more often than you.
You are free to submit a Bug Report if you are sure that Oracle is mis-behaving.

Regarding external table error

Hi,
I have created a csv file using excel as source, then I creaed a flat file module and imported the source.
Next I have created a external table for that file.
By using ssh I copied my source file (.csv file) to the server location ( By drag and drop method)
In the server it shows the file name as Income Source.csv file.
I deployed the external table.
When I am trying to opening the table it shows the message like
file not found in that location.
When I view the generated SQL of external table
in that query : the location the file name as Income_Source not Income Sourcce.csv ( I am thinking this might be the problem)
Please give me the suggestions.
Thanks,
Venkat

VenkatFile name should be exactly same as the filename in the directory.
Its a good practise to use filename as one string or have some char such as " _" to seperate two strings rather than have space such as INCOME SOURCE
i presume you have given permissions on the directory for owb to read the file.

In order to set this system up to run on a MAC, the manual instructs me to open the disk utility, select the External HD, select Mac OS Extended for the format, click erase, confirm erase and wait for the HD to reformat. Whenever I try this, I get the following error Message:
Disk erase failed
Disk erase failed with the error:
Resource busy
I contacted Simpletech but the tech-rep had never heard of this issue. Any suggestions

After battling this problem for hours and searching infinite useless internet forums, I was able to develop a workaround at least. If you cannot get a drive to work using the 'Disk Utility" app, Try this:
WARNING: All data on disk will be lost!!!
1) connect any external drive you are having issues with
2) open a terminal (apps>utilities>terminal)
3) 'diskutil list' to identify the drive name (should be something like /dev/diskX) - you can recognize it by the size, hopefully
4) 'diskutil eraseVolume "MS-DOS FAT32" "NEWDISK" /dev/diskX'
and that should work. I tried it first with all versions of "HFS" types and it kept failing. My guess is that some hard drives interfaced thru firewire just cannot support MAC filesystems ??? At least with my case, it is true.
Hope this helps.

I have no experience with external tables but my understanding is that they are described the same was as you would describe a file to be loaded by SQL Loader. When ever I create a sql loader control file to load a date column I use syntax like this:
DATE_M                                             "TO_DATE(:DATE_M,'dd.mm.yyyy')",Not sure if that will work for external tables or not.

Mystery with SE3320 - Error message "External SCSI BUS Reset

We have had this problem for several weeks and have been unable to resolve with much trial & error attempts.
Appreciate the help of the Sun community!
=============
*Initial Problem: During Sybase installation on E2900 server. During "create database" stage, which involved a lot of harddisk operation, the system showed external reset error message for several disks on StorEdge 3320
During mirroring process, we always getting error message "External SCSI BUS Reset" then "target xxxxxx reduce sync transfer rate". We suspect that we have a wrong cable as of we are using P/N 530-3631-01 instead of 530-3631-02 as mentioned on SE3320 Product Manual. Unfortunately, we do not have the suggested cable with us, if you believe the problem is with the cable? Now we are trying to re-seat connections as well as change available SCSI cables just to find our luck. We are also suspicious if we need jumpers and terminators.
2 (two) faulty storages condition now is still in the SAME with condition when we raised complaint which is error message during high load I/O operations. In total, we have 6 SE3320 Storage, and the error messages only occur for this 2 faulty storage systems. It is true that mirroring will still created sucessfully regardless the error messages, however after error messages, I/O speed for that disk will be reduced.

Correction to my previous post: the "burn" button is not visible when browsing through the music library, only in the "purchased" or "playlist" views (which is really confusing, by the way.)
that's normal. you'll only see it in a playlist of some description. (the "Purchased" list is a playlist.) see:
I'm having trouble burning a CD or DVD
is that a home-built or custom-built PC? (checking, because it makes a difference when going checking for updates to drivers and whatnot.)
