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.

Dynamically Update External Table Data

I loaded a data table from an external csv file. But the csv file is an output from a program that appends a new line to the csv file every couple days.
I made a Report with the loaded data, but in a couple days when a few new lines of data appear in the csv file, I want my report to update as well.
Is there a way to create a "Refresh Button" in my application that will load the data from the csv when pressed?
I have oracle database 11g express with APEX 4.1.1

Hi,
what you describe could certainly be achieved, but it would have to be designed and built, it is not going to be provided "out of the box". I would probably go with an external table based on your file and a process that you would build would be callable from the button and this would do some sort of a merge of the external table data into your database table. Apart from being callable on demand, the process could also be made to be a scheduled process that loads the data on a regular basis, say once a day or once an hour, depending on your requirements. To use an external table it is assumed that the file will be available on the database server. If not and the file is available on only a client machine, then doing an on demand load process would still be possible, but a little more difficult.

XML File in External Table - OS error permission denied.

Hi.
10g R2, Red Hat Linux
I'm using the article (see below, taken from http://www.dbazine.com/olc/olc-articles/scardina1 by Mark Scardina) to create an external table where I'd store my XML file.
So, I
1. Created a directory xmlfile_dir
2. Granted access to needed db user
3. Created the table
CREATE TABLE relayxml_xt (doc CLOB)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY xmlfile_dir
ACCESS PARAMETERS
FIELDS (lobfn CHAR TERMINATED BY ',')
COLUMN TRANSFORMS (doc FROM lobfile (lobfn))
LOCATION ('xml.dat')
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
4. mv relay.xml /xmlfile_dir/xml.dat
When I run SELECT * FROM relayxml_xt I get this:
Error starting at line 1 in command:
select * from relayxml_xt
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04063: unable to open log file RELAYXML_XT_28773.log

What am I doing wrong?

Using External Tables
Introduced in Oracle9i, Oracle’s external table feature offers a solution to define a table in the database while leaving the data stored outside of the database. Prior to Oracle Database 10g, external tables can be used only as read-only tables. In other words, if you create an external table for XML files, these files can be queries and the table can be joined with other tables. However, no DML operations, such as INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE, are allowed on the external tables.
Note: In Oracle Database 10g , by using the ORACLE_DATAPUMP driver instead of the default ORACLE_DRIVER, you can write to external tables. In Oracle Database 10g, you can define VARCHAR2 and CLOB columns in external tables to store XML documents. The following example shows how you can create an external table with a CLOB column to store the XML documents. First, you need to create a DIRECTORY to read the data files:
CREATE DIRECTORY data_file_dir AS 'D:\xmlbook\Examples\Chapter9\src\xml';
GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY data_file_dir TO demo;
Then, you can use this DIRECTORY to define an external table:
CREATE TABLE customer_xt (doc CLOB)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY data_file_dir
ACCESS PARAMETERS
FIELDS (lobfn CHAR TERMINATED BY ',')
COLUMN TRANSFORMS (doc FROM lobfile (lobfn))
LOCATION ('xml.dat')
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
The xml.dat file follows:
customer1.xml
customer2.xml
If you describe the table, you can see the following definition:
SQL> DESC customer_xt;
Name Null? Type
DOC CLOB
Then, you can query the XML document as follows:
SELECT XMLType(doc).extract('/Customer/EMAIL')
FROM customer_xt;
Though the query requires run-time XMLType creation and XPath evaluation, this approach is useful when applications just need a few queries on the XML data and don’t want to upload the XML data into database. In Oracle Database 10g, you cannot create external tables that contain pre-defined XMLType column types.

Your don't have the proper operating system privileges. Be sure that you (=oracle OS user / the OS Linux user that is starting the database) are allowed have read privs on the path and/or file.
for example...
chown -Rf /xxxxxxx/xxxx/etc
ls -l file.xml
file.xml    oracle:oinstall    rw-rw-rw

I don't think there is any way to modify your table definition to accommodate the (apparent) fact that missing values generate nothing in the file you want to load.
It seems that you are saying that the format of the file is not actually fixed in any way, that is has some, but not all values, and that mising values are just skipped.
Assuming for a moment that the fields are delimited bt a pipe symbol (|) then it seems to me that you have this situation :
Defined file format:
ID|name|age|addresswhich would imply the file should look like:
123|John|42|123 MainSt.
456|Fred|39|45 Pine St.but sometimes you get:
12345|27|12 Elm St.If this is the case, there is no possible way that the file can be reliably parsed since there is no consistnet format. If field values could be missing, you need to get whoever generates the file to do something more like:
12345||27|12 Elm St.That is, put in the field delimiters even if there is no value for the field.

External Table LKM: error during task interpretation

I've had this problem more than once now, using "LKM File to Oracle (EXTERNAL TABLE)". Before the interface can even run, I get an error, as if the script can't be output. I've tried removing the LKM and reimporting. No use. I am using this LKM successfully in other projects... not sure why it would have issues here. When I had this problem previously, Oracle Support couldn't reproduce it (they certainly tried). I managed to work around it then, but now... this is getting problematic. Insight welcome.
Here's the start of the error:

External table data edit

Hi Experts...
I am trying to export data from main frame system files(.csv) by using the external tables,
my question is can I edit before loading into the external tables? if yes how/
or else wat is the best process to edit while loading from external tables to main tables?
sample code will be appreciated...

It depends on what you mean by "edit". You can do anything in a sql statment against an external table that you can against a real table. So, if by "edit" you mean things like make a column upper case, do some basic formatting etc., or even ignore some lines/columns in the file, then it should be done is the select statment from the external table.

OA Framework does not support the "OracleNamed" style of binding. Please review Chapter 8 of the OAF Developers Guide (available in the JDeveloper online help) - rules M23 and M66 apply in this case.

Accessing The External Table using UIAPI and DIAPI

Hi Every One,
can any one tell me about , can we access the external table data that is created by using sql query externally using UIApi and DIAPI
Regards
Srinivas

Hi,
technically is it possible, but all inserts and updates have to be through query.
Note, that when you create tables from sdk, you can set more informations about fields than in sql query manager (for example subtype) - so you may have problem in binding data to matrix for example. So if you have table externally, you may work with, but this isn`t allowed by SAP (and I think that this case may be dangerous if you acces it in sdk). If you need to acces it on sql server side (own numbering, some stored procedure, ..) it will works safer, but it is not allowed as well.

Error while selecting date from external table

I am getting the follwing error while selecting data from external table. Any idea why?

It would appear that you external table definition and the external data file data do not match up. Post a few input records so someone can duplicate the problem and determine the fix.

===========================
In the error it is showing that file expense_categories.csv in SOURCE_LOCATION not found but I am 100% sure that file is very much there.
Is anybody face the same issue?
Do we need to configure something before loading data from a flat file from OWB Client?
Any help would higly appreciable.
Regards,
Manmohan Sharma

Hi Detlef / Gowtham,
Now I am able to fetch data from flat files from OWB Server as well as OWB Client.
One way I have achieved as suggested by you
1) Creating location on the OWB Client
2) Samples the files at client
3) Created & Configured external table
4) Copy all flat files on OWB Server
5) Updated the location which I created at the client.
Other way
1) Creating location on the OWB Client
2) Samples the files at client
3) Created & Configured external table
4) Copied flat files on the sever in same drive & directory . like if my all flat files are on C:\data at OWB Client then I copied flat file C:\data on the OWB Server. But this is feasible for Non-Windows.
Hence my problem solved.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Manmohan

Error while loading data into External table from the flat files

HI ,
We have a data load in our project which feeds the oracle external tables with the data from the Flat Files(.bcp files) in unix.
While loading the data, we are encountering the following error.
Error occured (Error Code : -29913 and Error Message : ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04063: un) while loading data into table_ext
Please let us know what needs to be done in this case to solve this problem.
Thanks,
Kartheek

External table creation went through successfully but am getting error while reading data. Am quite sure error is because of above line in red color. Could you please help me in transforming logic.
Thanks in Advance,

Let's start with the basics...
1) You state that you are getting an error. What error do you get? Is this an Oracle error (i.e. ORA-xxxxx)? If so, please include the error number and the error message as well as the triggering statement. Or is the problem that rows are getting written to the reject file and errors are being written to the log file? If so, what record(s) are being rejected and what are the reasons given in the log file? Or perhaps the problem is something else?
2) You state that you are quite sure that the problem relates to the hilighted code. What makes you quite sure of this?
