Extract DDL from Database

Hi all,
I am trying to extract the DDL statements for my database indexes. I am using Oracle 8i. The two option:
(1) You could run the export utility with ROWS=NO, but the output was hard to re-use because of quoted strings.
(2) DBMS_METADATA.GET_DDL but it is only available for Oracle 9i and above. So it does me not good.
Are there any other option beside (1) that I can use in Oracle 8i. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ravi

You could run the export utility with ROWS=NO, but the output was hard to re-use because of quoted strings.You haven't mentioned the OS.
you can create the indexfile(ddl file) and remove the quoted strings using global replacement and you would have a clean SQL file with DDL's.

How to extract data from database to XSLT?

I want to generate a report by XSLT, but the data is extracted from the database. I will use Access/SQL server for my database. Can i write SQL in XSLT to extract data from database? Have any sample code or reference website to show how it work?
THX

for example: "SELECT code, name FROM TABLE FOR XML RAW"
String xml = null;
if(rs.next()){
xml = rs.getString(1);
}You will get xml string something like this:
<row empID="1234"/><row empID="1235"/>
You can construct a DOM using this xml data and operate on it.
However you may explore more on resulting xml format.
A different SQL Query (rather than using XML RAW) may give output in a more desired format.

Extract data from database to xml ?

is there any API, classes or tools ready to extract data from oracle database and generate xml files, Instead to implement a DOM class and build little by little the xml file??
thanks for every info in advance.

Yes, download the Oracle XML Development Kit from Oracle's website and look at the documentation of the XML-SQL Utility.

Extract DDL from an exp dmp file

One feature I would find handy is the ability to read an exp dmp file to extract DDL statements from it. Are there any plans to include such a tool?

I assume you are using traditional export/import.
So run the import with show=Y and it will write all the DDLs in the logfile.

Extract results from database

I want to be able to re-create a test report from the results database and do statistical analysis on the results of specific tests. Are there any querries or other database tools that have already been developed for this?

Hi Gumby,
As far I know there aren't any tools developed specifically for this kind of a task. However depending on the environment you're using there will probably be tools developed for easily retrieving information from databases.
In TestStand we have SQL step types that allow you to easily retrieve data from databases. There are two examples that ship with TestStand I would suggest looking at in addition to the help for these step types.
C:\Program Files\National Instruments\TestStand 3.1\Examples\Database
(This path will vary depending on the version of TestStand and your installation directory.)
If you're using LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI we have special tools developed to simplify communicating to databases.
c.vp?cid=6429〈=US>LabVIEW Database Connectivity Toolkit
NI LabWindows/CVI Enterprise Connectivity Toolset
There are also lots of examples available by searching our website.
If you're using another environment there are probably tools available as well, I just don't know enough to recommend any.
I hope this helps!

Extracting data from database table containg perticular string.

hi every body ,
can any body provide me a solution for extracting the OT01 data from kna1 table where the OT01 ends with the string 'town' .
exe : the O/P should be
midTOWN
newTOWN
there is one more query i am not able to execute the following statement .......why?
select ORT01 from KNA1 where ORT01 CS 'TOWN'.
write:/ kna1-ort01.
endselect.
it is showing a syntax error.......
Thank You.

Hi Tippu,
Your select statement consists of CS whcih may not be a valid comparision operator because of which error is displayed have look of this..
data itab like kna1 occurs 0 with header line.
parameters: s_town like kna1-ORT01.
select ORT01 from KNA1 into table itab where ORT01 = s_town.
Fetch the city and concatenate with TOWN your issue will be sloved.
Cheers!!

Extracting Permissions from database in JAAS

I am working on enterprise application where we want to implement JAAS and extract the permissions and roles from the data base but not from the policy file.Can any body post me the solution.

Hi, raghave66!
You should read the documents below.
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/security/PolicyFiles.html
You'll have to create your own Policy Class instead of
using default com.sun.security.auth.PolicyFile.class

Need to Extract Image from Database for Report

Greetings,
I have two databases that I could work with; both are for card access users. One is an old Access 98 database, the other is a SQL database,
In the tables I can "see" references to employee_photo and badge_picture_path respectively, but when I run the Report, the Image is not retrieved.
Any ideas how I can overcome this ?
I am trying to create a hard copy in a binder, so that new guards can thumb through the binder and familiarize themselves with employees.
Thanks
Peter

Hi Peter,
What format are the pcitures saved in. I believe they have to be either BMP or JPEG. Any other formats will not work in Crystal.
Have a look with the sample Extreme database. The Employee table has a picture field, very similar to what you are using. If you create a simple report with it, can you see the pictures?
Thanks,
Brian

Extracting date from oracle/other databases exactly to java

Hello Friends,
Iam creating a simple program which extracts data from any database and stores it in an XML file and also it can extract data from an XML file and updates the database.
My program is just getting the tablename as an input and from that it builds the query (select * from tablename). Through ResultSet, Iam extracting date fields with getDate() method of ResultSet, which is yeilding converted dates [In oracle if date is 23-DEC-1980, Im getting it as 1980-12-23 in java]. Even getString() method of ResultSet doesn't work.
I want my program to work with any database engine, which may have their own date formats. Kindly can anyone suggest me a way to extract date from any database exactly as it is to java.
NOTE:: I can't use to_char(datefield) type commands in SQLQUERY as the only input to my program is tablename and my query is, select * from tablename.
Regards,
Ch.Praveen.

Here you can observe that HIREDATE column is having date in different format than in oracle. We are getting an error while we are extracting data from an XML file and updating the database, as dateformats differ. Can anyone provide a solution, which extracts date from database to java exactly as per the dateformat in database.

EXPORT DDL from TOOLS menu in Rel 4

I am trying to use the tools->export-> objects--> tables option to extract DDL from tables
I have given the file name to save in options. After clicking APPLY nothing is happening.
File is created with 0 bytes

I do have a similar issue with the export function. Below is all of the
information - downloaded today (Fri, 17-Feb-06 and am current with
updates).
The Export is not creating the expected DDL script; output file was
created with 0 bytes.
Other than that I like what I see in SQL Developer.
Thank you,
Jeff

Oracle_Datapump extracting table/columns ddl from pumpfile

LS,
Can I extract the xml-like information from the header of an existing datapump-file?
Or can I create an external table (meant to read the datapump-file) without knowing at forehand how the table in the datapump-file is constructed, such as "Create my_ext_table As 'read the header' "?
Using dynamic SQL, I would like to be able to compare the structure of an given datapump-file to the expected structure (comparison on columns, datatype etc.).
Regards,
André Klück

Is it possible to save / extract data from a MS SQL database 2008 using lookout 6.2?

Now a days we are saving / extracting data in a excel spreadsheet, but we would like to do that using a database because it is better.

You can use ODBC connection to work with SQL Server database.
Use SQLExec object to execute the SQL statement. Here is a KB about the SQL statement.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/4ADEEA04CD24AE0B862565E20002A16F?OpenDocument
To write data to spreadsheet is more straightforward because Lookout has built-in spreadsheet object. But you need to write SQL statement by yourself to interact with other database.
To read the data back is the same way. Just use "select" SQL statement to query. You can use Datatable object to query.
The "Data Source" can be "DSN = data source name;". The data source name is configured in Control Panel->Administrative Tools->Data Sources(ODBC).
