External Table Problem

Hi Guys,
Need your help regarding external tables, I'm using Oracle 10g. I have tried using external tables and almost all of them works except for one. It has a null data on the last field.
Kindly check what am I missing.

External Table Problem - Need Urgent Help

Hi All,
I want to load flat file data to oracle database.
I have used external table feautre for loading data.
My data is like
"F","1","1","KIAWAH ISLAND rated off the pace, rallied to gain command on the far turn, then"
Now my problem is that fields are terminated with comma but there is a comma inbetween field values. please see last field value (i.e ", then" that is value of third field).
Now what access parameter should specify to create external table that maps to this type of data. I have used fields terminated by "," and Enclosed by '"' and '"".
but it still gives me error.
So, Please help urgently

Could you post your controlfile?

I have created it on two different Oracle databases; these two bases have the same version so "Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0", the object links on the same CSV file...
The problem is when I select the object from the database I obtain different results (on the first database all the records‘re number’s type) and on the other database I obtain some records from precedent row so the result is shifted. Can someone tell me please the origin of the problem!!!
Thanks,

Problem while selecting data from external tables

Hi All,
I am facing a problem with external tabels. I have created an external table
create table ext_org_table
( id varchar2(10)
, name varchar2(100)
,id_parent varchar2(10)
,name_parent varchar2(100))
organization external
( type oracle_loader
default directory MYDIR
access parameters
records delimited by newline
nologfile
nobadfile
fields terminated by ','
missing field values are null
location ('Orgdata.csv')
reject limit unlimited;
The problem is that when i give select * from ext_org_table , i get following error
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04040: file Orgdata.csv in MYDIR not found
ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", line 19
ORA-06512: at line 1
Now , i have file Orgdata.csv in the specified directory.
I have created directory in oracle using create directory command.
I have granted read,write permission on the directory to user.
I have given all read,write and execute permissions to folder where my files resides.My file resides in /appl/home/kk
Now i don't understand why it is giving error file in Mydir not found.
Kindly suggest.
Regards
Krish

Hi,
You are obviously doing someting wrong.
May be the direcotry is not present or may be the file is not rpesent in the directory.
I just tried ths
Connected to Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0
Connected as SYS
create directory mydir as 'c:\csv';
grant read,write on directory mydir to scott;From Scott
create table ext_org_table
( id varchar2(10)
, name varchar2(100)
,id_parent varchar2(10)
,name_parent varchar2(100))
organization external
( type oracle_loader
default directory MYDIR
access parameters
records delimited by newline
nologfile
nobadfile
fields terminated by ','
missing field values are null
location ('Orgdata.csv')
reject limit unlimited;
select * from ext_org_table;Ofcourse i made up some dummy data to test and its all OK.
again,
You may want to check if
1) If the directory exists (select * from all_directories where directory_name='MYDIR');
2) If the user has the read/write permissions on that directory
3) If the file orgdata exists in that directory.

Bhushan

Synonym problem with external table in materialized view

I have a materialized view that includes selects on two external tables.
However, no matter how I try to access the external tables, the creation fails with a "Synonym Translation Is No Longer Valid" (ORA-00980) error.
This happens even when I replace the tablename with the full table name, including the link.
I can create a view just fine, but if I then try something like CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW mvw_my_view AS SELECT * FROM vw_my_view (where vw_my_view is the view in question), it still throws the Synonym Translation exception.

00980, 00000, "synonym translation is no longer valid"
// *Cause: A synonym did not translate to a legal target object. This
//         could happen for one of the following reasons:
//         1. The target schema does not exist.
//         2. The target object does not exist.
//         3. The synonym specifies an incorrect database link.
//         4. The synonym is not versioned but specifies a versioned
//            target object.
// *Action: Change the synonym definition so that the synonym points at
//          a legal target object.It is really, Really, REALLY difficult to fix a problem that can not be seen.
use COPY & PASTE so we can see what you do & how Oracle responds.

External table in Oracle 10g and Windows server 2003 problem

I'm having a problem accessing an external table in an Oracle 10g and Windows 2003 server environment. The disk is remote (mapped) to the server. It's the usual access errors, kup-04001 or kup-04063.
I have the [seemingly] exact same setup in an Oracle 9i and Windows 2000 server environment which works perfectly. Services run as local SYSTEM and SYSTEM has full permissions on the disk. Directories exist and so do the permissions to the directories.
In the Oracle 10g and Windows 2003 environment, services run as local SYSTEM and SYSTEM has full permissions on the mapped disk. Directories exist and so do the permissions to the directories.
This obviously effects mappings, deployments, etc.
Does anyone know if something changed in either the db or the os?
Thank you,
Michael

Thank you for your reply.
Your proposal is the standard solution. As a matter of fact, that's how it is on my "old" system. Server "A" Oracle services are started by SYSTEM. Server "B" Oracle services are started by SYSTEM and is where the flat files reside. SYSTEM has full permissions on a disk local to Server "B". Database directoriies defined on Server "A" point to Server "B" remote disk. External Tables on Server "A" are defined with directories that point to Server "B" remote (mapped) disk. I have no problems with this configuration.
I'm having a problem acheiving the same configuration with Oracle 10g and Windows 2003. I guess I'm baffled over the fact it isn't working the same way as my "old" environment. Why shouldn't it? Oracle (and you) want me to start services as a specific user. It shouldn't have to be that way unless something changed in the way the database makes calls to the os or if Microsoft slipped something in with one of it's numerous security patches.

Unix permission problem for external table in oracle 10g, sun solaris

Hello All,
I'm facing a problem in accessing external table which has stumped me a bit.
What I'm looking for is to use a external table with restricted permission to Others(770) on unix.
Would appreciate if someone helps me out here.
Here are the steps:
1.create directory ext_tab_dir1 as '/home/ravi/test'
2.grant read,write on directory ext_tab_dir1 to scott
3.CREATE TABLE scott.emp_load1(employee_number CHAR(5))
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL (
type oracle_loader
default directory ext_tab_dir1
access parameters (
records delimited by newline
fields terminated by ' '
optionally enclosed by '"'
missing field values are null
location ('info.dat')
Now I have added unix user oracle to unix group myDbGroup and provided myDbGroup read/write/exec permission on directory /home/ravi/test.
info.dat has been placed in /home/ravi/test.
#pwd
/home/ravi
#ls -l
drwxrwx--- 2 ravi myDbGroup 512 Mar 7 17:35 test
I have manually logged in as user oracle and successfully created a sample file in /home/ravi/test.
-rwxrwx--- 1 ravi myDbGroup 13 Mar 7 17:33 info.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 0 Mar 7 18:05 sampleFile
I then connect to the db using sqlplus as ravi and do a
#select * from scott.emp_load1
I get the following error
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04063: unable to open log file emp_load1_18567.log
OS error Permission denied
ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", line 19
After this, I gave full permission to /home/ravi/test
drwxrwxrwx 2 ravi myDbGroup 512 Mar 7 17:35 test
#select * from scott.emp_load1
And this was successful.
It created a log file in /home/ravi/test
-rwxrwx--- 1 ravi myDbGroup 13 Mar 7 17:33 info.dat
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 0 Mar 7 18:05 sampleFile
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 0 Mar 7 18:05 emp_load1_18567.log
Now what stumped me is the owner and group owner of the file emp_load1_18567.log.
It is same as the sampleFile which I created manually!!
From this it can be deducted oracle is not using user id oracle while reading/writing to the unix directory but somehow assigning user id oracle as owner to the log file at the end.
If someone has encountered this problem earlier or has some info about this...pls share.
Regards,
Ravinandan

Thanks for the reply.
I have earlier checked this with NOLOGFILE option.
But no luck.
I would like to add one more detail(which I missed earlier) about the problem.
If I give 750 access to /home/ravi(That is read/exec to Group and none perm to Others),
I will get the same error(KUP-04063: unable to open log file emp_load1_18567.log).
This obviously means oracle is not even able to access the directory(Although unix user oracle has access via the group perms).

Problem with a character in an external table

I have Unix Sun OS 5.8
I received 1 file with data. The problem is that this file has a character ' ' in the end file then the charge has an error. The character in the end file is in hexadecimal: 0A, 1A.
Then I have an External table and I put the the clause LOAD WHEN (COMARC != ' ') but when I edit the external table I see LOAD WHEN (COMARC != '.').
And the last record with the ' ' character doesnât filter.
Note: the character isn't a space ' '. It is the hexadecimal: 0A, 1A
What I have to put in the LOAD WHEN (COMARC != '??????????') to filter this character?

I put LOAD WHEN (COMARC != x'0A1A') but I receive the error:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-00554: error encountered while parsing access parameters
KUP-01005: syntax error: found "single-quoted-string": expecting one of: "and, not, or, )"
KUP-01007: at line 3 column 26
ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", line 14
ORA-06512: at line 1
If I put:
LOAD WHEN (COMARC != ' ') for example I don't received any error!
What happens?
Thanks!

Oracle External Table SELECT FROM problem from workstation

At Solaris Oracle database server console.
Created directory on the Solaris server as Oracle owner.
As SYS created oracle directory object on that Solaris directory
Granted read/write to SCHEMA_OWNER on that oracle directory object.
Using OS Oracle user, moved a tab-delimited flat file into the Solaris directory.
Logged on a SCHEMA_OWNER using SQLPLUS on the Solaris database server.
Ran external table script in SQLPLUS.
External table was created.
Ran Select * from ext_table.
Appropriate dataset returned.
So at the Oracle Solaris server console,
the create external table script worked without errors,
and a select from statement on the external table worked without errors.
Move to developer workstation:
Logged on as SCHEMA_OWNER using SQLPLUS on Windows workstation.
TNSNAMES of course points to the Solaris database server.
Ran the external table script in SQLPLUS.
External table was created.
Ran Select * from ext_table.
This failed with these errors:
ORA29913 error executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA29400 data cartridge error
cant open logfile.log
OS permission denied
ORA06512 sys.oracle_loader line 19
So how can I select from external tables from a windows workstation?
Any guidance on this problem would be appreciated.

Thank you for your response.
I am not creating the external table on the workstation.
In both cases,
from the Solaris console
and from the Windows workstation
the external table is being created on the Solaris file system
in an Oracle Directory object
running an SQL script from SQLPLUS prompt.
The external table creator, schema owner, has read and write permissions
granted by SYS on the oracle directory object.
The problem is:
Logged in as the schema owner,
you can select * from ext_table from the Solaris console SQLPLUS,
but you can not select * from ext_table from the Windows workstation SQLPLUS.
You can DROP TABLE ext_table from the Windows workstation SQLPLUS.
You just cannot select * from ext_table from the Windows workstation SQLPLUS.
I guess as a test,
I can drop from the ext_table creation script the references
to discardfile, badfile, and logfile,
and remove this other file objects from the equation...
which appears to be a file permissions problem.

Problem with file used by external table

Hi all,
following situation:
I am creating my file on unix/solaris and ftp it to oracle server which is running on windows.
I am getting following error when I try to do select on the external table I get:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEFETCH callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04020: found record longer than buffer size supported, 524288, in D:\corona\flat_files\input\CORE.PROGRESS.TXT
ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", line 52
But it is working when I do following:
File->Conversions->UNIX/MAC to DOS-> Save it and ftp to windows server.
I have already tried to call unix2dos in my shell script, but I keep getting the same error.
Here is the CREATE TABLE:
CREATE TABLE EXT_TRACKING_DATA_PROGRESS
TRACKING_ID VARCHAR2(19 BYTE),
COMPANY_ID VARCHAR2(19 BYTE),
SUPPLIER_ID VARCHAR2(1 BYTE),
TRACKING_ID_TYPE VARCHAR2(2 BYTE),
START_DATE VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
END_DATE VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
BLANK VARCHAR2(100 BYTE)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
( TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY DIR_INPUT
ACCESS PARAMETERS
( fields terminated BY '@|@' )
LOCATION (DIR_INPUT:'CORE.PROGRESS.TXT')
REJECT LIMIT 0
NOPARALLEL
NOMONITORING;

Are you FTP-ing the file to the Windows machine in ASCII mode? Or in binary mode? Binary mode won't convert the line breaks from Unix to Windows, which would appear to be the problem.

error processing column BEDR_WAO_WERKG_REFJ in row 2 for datafile /oracle/db/noodscenario/myfile.csv
ORA-01722: invalid number
Why is number 8334195582 stated as invalid ?
Thanks,

Which Oracle version and OS are you on ? It works perfectly to me :
$ cat myfile.csv

Problem trying to create and manage external tables

Hello guys,
I am having problems having created my external tables trying to select from them. I created the table thus:
create table job_ext
(job_id number(3),
FUNCTION varchar2(30) )
organization external (type oracle_datapump default directory test_dir
access parameters (records delimited by newline fields delimited by "~" (job_id number(3) ,
FUNCTION varchar2(30) ) )
location ('testdump.lst')
but on running select * from job_ext, I get the error
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-00554: error encountered while parsing access parameters
KUP-01005: syntax error: found "identifier": expecting one of: "logfile, nologfile, version" etc..
KUP-01008: the bad identifier was: records
KUP-01007: at line 1 column 1
ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_DATAPUMP", line 19
ORA-06512: at line 1
what am I not doing right.
Secondly, I wish to ask if an directory object is created, will it be visible on the OS file system?? I am using Oracle 10g complete reference for study but it does not throw light on this.
thanks

Hi,
It looks like you may need to grant permissions to the target directory.
The ORA-29913 error can also happen in external tables when you don't grant read and write permissions to the directory:
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY extdir AS '/u01/app/oracle./extdir';
GRANT READ ON DIRECTORY extdir TO myowner;
GRANT WRITE ON DIRECTORY extdir TO myowner;
Also, see BUG 5172459 (MetaLink Note:373168.1)
The problem is that the message file for external tables oin not the English version. These steps will address the issue:
1. cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/mesg
2. cp KUP<lang>.msb KUP<lang>.msb.BAK
3. cp kupus.msb KUP<lang>.msb

Facing Many Problems About Creating Directory and an External Table

Question:
The weird thing is if you look at question 10-b in page 3-41, it says:
(page 3-41 "Oracle Database 10g SQL Fund. II Vol.1")
Merge the data in the EMP_DATA table created in the last lab into the data in the emp_hist table. Assume
that the data in external EMP_DATA table matches the EMP_HIST table, update the email column
of the EMP_HIST table to match the EMP_DATA table row. If a row in the EMP_DATA table does not
match, insert into the EMP_HIST tables. Rows are considered matching when the employee's first and
last name are identical.
To me, this question is constructed wrongly. First of all in the last lab we have not been asked to create EMP_DATA. Secondly, EMP_DATA is empty.
Thirdly, this question asks us to merge into EMP_HIST table while EMP_DATA is empty.
EMP_HIST table currently has copied data from employees table. EMP_HIST structure:
FIRST_NAME VARCHAR2(20)
LAST_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(25)
EMAIL NOT NULL VARCHAR2(45)
Anway, i did the merge as following:
merge into emp_hist e
using emp_data d
on (e.first_name = d.first_name)
when matched then
update set
e.last_name = d.last_name,
e.email = d.email
when not matched then
insert values (d.first_name, d.last_name, d.email);
I get this error:
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04040: file emp.dat in EMP_DIR not found
ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", line 19
29913. 00000 - "error in executing %s callout"
*Cause:    The execution of the specified callout caused an error.
*Action:   Examine the error messages take appropriate action.
On the other hand, i said let me try this:
merge into emp_data d
using emp_hist e
on (d.first_name = e.first_name)
when matched then
update set
d.last_name = e.last_name,
d.email = e.email
when not matched then
insert values (e.first_name, e.last_name, e.email);
I get this error because external table is final once its created as far as i know:
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-30657: operation not supported on external organized table
30657.0000 - "operation not supported on external organized table"
*Cause:    User attempted on operation on an external table which is
not supported.
*Action:   Don't do that!
I do not know what to do. I did my best, please help.

I will mention all the steps i did clearly....
I gave scott the following grants:
grant create any directory to scott;
grant read on directory emp_dir to scott;
1. Created a directory and its been created successfully:
create or replace directory emp_dir
as 'F:\emp_dir';
Then i did the following just to make sure my directory is recognized:
SELECT *
FROM dba_directories;
I found the drive amongst the results...
OWNER DIRECTORY_NAME
DIRECTORY_PATH
SYS EMP_DIR
F:\emp_dir
SYS SUBDIR
D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\demo\schema\order_entry\/2002/Sep
SYS XMLDIR
D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\demo\schema\order_entry\
2. I created an external table emp_data (the script is given by the text book): done successfully
drop table emp_data;
CREATE TABLE emp_data
(first_name VARCHAR2(20)
,last_name VARCHAR2(20)
, email VARCHAR2(30)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE oracle_loader
DEFAULT DIRECTORY emp_dir
ACCESS PARAMETERS
RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE CHARACTERSET US7ASCII
NOBADFILE
NOLOGFILE
FIELDS
( first_name POSITION ( 1:20) CHAR
, last_name POSITION (22:41) CHAR
, email POSITION (43:72) CHAR )
LOCATION ('emp.dat') ) ;
3. I went to F:\ drive to see if emp_dir folder exist or not! I did not see it. I checked hidden files, nothing there. Anyway, i ignored it and did step 4.
<snip>
"Anyway, I ignored it . . . "
and hence the rest of your problems. I did not see in the steps you recounted that you acually created a directory ("folder") named "\emp_dir" on your f: drive. Nothing you create within the database will actually create that directory on the OS. Createing a directory in Oracle, createing an external table in Oracle, will only create pointers to objects that Oracle will simply assume actually exists.

Problem accessing external table

Hello,
When trying to access an external table, we're getting the following error.
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
ORA-01891: Datetime/Interval internal error

Any recommendations?
Thanks

Metalink says
