External Table log file

I am using external table in my query and it works fine, just I want to create log file or bad file if any in different folder currently it create in same folder where data file (CSV) exists.
create or replace directory data_dir as 'c:\temp\'

You can specify one or many of the following options:
NOBADFILE NODISCARDFILE NOLOGFILEIn the ACCESS PARAMETERS portion of your table definition.
Hope this helps!

Oracle 11g - External Table/Remote File Issue?

Oracle 11g - External Table/Remote File Issue?
=============================
I hope this is the right forum for this issue, if not let me, where to go.
We are using Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1.0) on (Platform : solaris[tm] oe (64-bit)), Sql Developer 3.0.04
We are not allowed to put files on the CSV file system (Server A), where DB instance is running. We are able place CSV files on another server(Server B), where DB instance is not running.
We are trying to use oracle external table to load text files in .CSV format.
How do we create a Directory (Create Directory) on Server A DB to point to File system of Server B?
Is it feasible?
Any idea?
Thanks in helping.

The Solaris DBA should be able to mount the filesystem for you. Either that or you have to get creative transferring the file like this;

External table log and bad files

Hi, i have defined the following access parameters for my external table and set REJECT LIMIT to 0:
ACCESS PARAMETERS
RECORDS DELIMITED by NEWLINE
BADFILE BAD_DIR:'CARDS.bad'
LOGFILE LOG_DIR:'CARDS.log'
NODISCARDFILE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","

I want to know everytime i query the external table, my log file and bad file will be overwritten or appended? i want them to be overwritten.

Hi,
Yeah, well, be in for a surprise here:
"The external tables feature is a complement to existing SQL*Loader functionality."

Have you actually read/tried anything?
You can download an XE DB for free and play with that.

External table logs not as detailed as sqlldr logs

Hi,
I've been using external tables in my CSV utility but I found that the log file generated is not as detailed as when I used sqlldr to upload csv files. For example, I can't find the following:
- Total logical records skipped
- Total logical records read
- Total logical records rejected
- Total logical records discarded
Also, in sqlldr log, for each rejected record, there is a reason specified, but for external table, I can only find the rejected record in .bad file and no reasons can be found in the log file.
Are there any options I can turn on for external tables to get these data? I need to show them to user after the data upload. Many thanks!!!

Have you followed theses instructions?
http://dataintegrity.wordpress.com/2009/10/16/xlsx/
Can you show us the file's format?

Network location for external table's file

Hi,
I am trying to import data from a csv file in oracle 10g database. I can successfully upload data from a csv file located on server itself using external table. But when I redefine directory object on a folder on network location, it doesn't work. Is that a limitation with external tables to access data from a file on network location.
Any clarifications and suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Aniket

Hi Nicolas,
I created a directory object pointing to a folder on a system(Other than Oracle 10g server) in the network. This folder is shared and can be accessed from the Oracle 10g server. When I create an external table with the default directory as the shared folder it couldn't read the csv file from that folder ( Shared folder on another system).
But when I redefined the directory object on a local folder which was on Oracle 10g server, it could read from csv file in the local folder using external table.
My understanding is using external tables, one can only read files that are on the local machine i.e. Oracle 10g server and not on a different system.
Please correct me if i am wrong. Any further suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Regads,
Aniket

External Tool log files

SQL Developer 1.1 Doesn't escape or check external tool titles for characters that cant be used in filenames.
For example, on Windows, define a tool titled SQL*Plus. When you try to start it, you get a message saying that the file log_dir\SQL*Plus_date_and_time can't be created.
I hope I'm not reporting a known issue, but I don't have access to metalink, and didn't see this in the forms already.

Hi Will,
Thanks for the report. This is indeed a previously unreported bug. I have filed it in our bug database as #5725824.
The bug only occurs when you have the "Save Logs to File" option checked on the Environment/Log page in preferences. The workaround is to disable this option, or to change the name of the tool so that it does not contain illegal characters.
Thanks,
Brian

DATE fields and LOG files in context with external tables

I am facing two problems when dealing with the external tables feature in Oracle 9i.
I created an External Table with some fileds with the DATE data type . There were no issues during the creation part. But when i query the table, the DATE fields are not properly selected though the data is there in the files. Is there any ideas to deal with this ?
My next question is regarding the log files. The contents in the log file seems to be growing when querying the external tables. Is there a way to control this behaviour?
Suggestions / Advices on the above two issues are welcome.
Thanks
Lakshminarayanan

Hi
If you have date datatypes than:
select
greatest(TABCASER1.CASERRECIEVEDDATE, EVCASERS.FINALEVDATES, EVCASERS.PUBLICATIONDATE, EVCASERS.PUBLICATIONDATE, TABCASER.COMPAREACCEPDATE)
from TABCASER, TABCASER1, EVCASERS
where ...-- join and other conditions
1. greatest is good enough
2. to_date creates date dataype from string with the format of format string ('mm/dd/yyyy')
3. decode(a, b, c, d) is a function: if a = b than return c else d. NULL means that there is no data in the cell of the table.
6. to format the date for display use to_char function with format modell as in the to_date function.

How to overwrite a log and bad file in external table in oracle 10g

Hi,
I have used external table in oracle 10g.whenever use select query in external table orace internally create one log file in specified directory,
but this log file is growing.How can i overwrite the log file(old to replace with new).I need overwrite a log and bad file in external table.
kindly give the solutions.
By
Siva

I don't believe that is possible with the LOGFILE clause, but it may be with the BADFILE clause. Here is an excerpt from the documentation :
The LOGFILE clause names the file that contains messages generated by the external tables utility while it was accessing data in the datafile. If a log file already exists by the same name, the access driver reopens that log file and appends new log information to the end. This is different from bad files and discard files, which overwrite any existing file. NOLOGFILE is used to prevent creation of a log file.
If you specify LOGFILE, you must specify a filename or you will receive an error.
If neither LOGFILE nor NOLOGFILE is specified, the default is to create a log file. The name of the file will be the table name followed by _%p and it will have an extension of .log.

How to interpret External Table's log file ?

Hello All,
Env: Oracle 10.2.0.4 on Solaris 10.
I have a csv file and need to use the extenal table to load the data.
The data is from Microsoft Active Dir and the fields are quite big.
Since there is no table to upload, i created a table with 283 cols with varchar2(4000), 'coz i do not
not how big each records are. The file has 8039 records and and could load only 7600.
Googled and checked documentation and found no details on how to interpret the log file for missing records or what caused.

Could someone shed some light on how to interpret it ?
or any links would be sufficient.

Hello,
I have already tried with CLOB and could see only 2600 records where as when the cols where varchar2(4000) i could get 7680 rows.
@Franky:
Is KUP equal to ORA- errors ?
Is there any lookup tool ?
I could not see any formatted error description in the log file.
This is the beginning of the KUP errors in the log file. REPSFROM is a col. How do i know for which row it has failed ?

Hi Srinath,
When i observed the create table syntax of external table from import dump log file, it show few lines as below. I could not understand these special characters. And create table definationis failing with special character viz ORA-00911: invalid character
ACCESS PARAMETERS
LOCATION (EV02_PRICEMARTDATA_CSV_CON:'VPA.csv').
I even observed the create table DDL from TOAD. It is same as i mentioned earlier

How to read specific lines from a text file using external table or any other method?

Hi,
I have a text file with delimited data, I have to pick only odd number rows and load into a table...
Ex:
row1: 1,2,2,3,3,34,4,4,4,5,5,5,,,5 ( have to load only this row)
row2:   8,9,878,78,657,575,7,5,,,7,7
Hope this is enough..
I am using Oracle 11.2.0 version...
Thanks

There are various ways to do this. I would be inclined to use SQL*Loader. That way you can load it from the client or the server and you can use a SQL*Loader sequence to preserve the row order in the text file. I would load the whole row as a varray into a staging table, then use the TABLE and MOD functions to load the individual numbers from only the odd rows. Please see the demonstration below.
SCOTT@orcl12c> HOST TYPE text_file.csv
1,2,2,3,3,34,4,4,4,5,5,5,,,5
8,9,878,78,657,575,7,5,,,7,7
101,201
102,202
SCOTT@orcl12c> HOST TYPE test.ctl
LOAD DATA
INFILE text_file.csv
INTO TABLE staging
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(whole_row VARRAY TERMINATED BY '/n' (x INTEGER EXTERNAL),
rn SEQUENCE)
SCOTT@orcl12c> CREATE TABLE staging
2    (rn         NUMBER,
3     whole_row SYS.OdciNumberList)
4 /
Table created.
