Formating During CSV Upload for Existing Table

When you are trying to upload a csv file into an existing table
What type of exspression does the format text box accept.
( from top to bottom ) the upload page shows
column name
data type
format **** what type of expressions can I put here? PL/SQL block? nvl, substr?
lenght
then the column data from the file

Hi Bob,
Where exactly are you stuck? In the example that Tony linked, all you have to do is modify ~line 53 to the number of columns that will go into your table (and the name of the file browse item).
i.e.
APEX_COLLECTION.ADD_MEMBER(
                            p_collection_name => c_collection_name,
                            p_c001 => v_curr_row(1),
                            p_c002 => v_curr_row(2) -- add more of these for the number of columns that will be in your csv file);Or does the example not meet your requirements? If I interpret correctly, you want the user to be able to upload a file where they have specified the column names at the top of the csv file? I have created an example using this technique, although I am not entirely happy with it yet (for the lack of confirming the data that is to be inserted).

How to add a new data element for existing table filed(Primary key field)

Hi Experts,
How to add a new data element for existing table field(Primary key field)
For this filed ther is no foreign key relation ships and even check table.
while activating table it is giving message like below.
can you help any one to solve this and wil steps to add new dataelement for existing primary key filed of a table.
Check table (NAMING SPACE/TABLE NAME(EX:/TC/VENDOR)) (username/19.02.10/03:29)
Primary key change not permitted for value table /TC/VENDOR
Check on table /TC/VENDOR resulted in errors
Thanks
Ravi

Hi,
Easiest way is to download the table eg into an Excel table (if possible) or text table. Drop the table from the database. Build your table with the new key field. Build the database table again and fill it.
You can do it also over the database into a new table. Drop the old one. Build the enhanced one and fill it. Afterwards drop your (temporary) table.
Maybe there are other ways, but this works.
Success,

CSV upload and update table fields

Hi,
Is there any way to update any field of the underlying table from HTMLDB while importing the CSV file?For e.g, if there are XYZ table have 200 ermployee where empno is primary key.
Once we upload the data from CSV its fine.Now after 2 weeks i need to update the sal and ename corresponding to the previous 100 employees only.So now when i trying to update the data a unique constraints violation occurs since the empno have already present so my concern is that -- how to get out of this problem specially when updation of huge no. of records needed and also no updation required for some records already present?Do the CSV update be helpful on that circumstances?
One thing we can do that we can track down the list of 100 employee whose information going to be updated.Put those info in excel and add rest 100 emplyee to that excel and again doing the CSV upload ?
This is a huge issue and not only the tedious task but also errorprone and that task will be increased with the amount of data increasing in the table.
Please anyone can suggest ?
Regards,
ROSY.

The best way to solve your problem is next way.
1º) Save the file with the data to import like a BLOV ITEM.
Ok it can be done. CSV placed on BLOB data field.2º) Make a procedure to manage this BLOV item that can be fired by user pushing a buttom. (you can do it easy from HTMLDB).
how to manage ? What need to be fire to push the CSV to the target table with the actual field population ?3º) Into this procedure insert the records freely and dont worry for anything more. (maybe you can be worry about duplicate records is so, only, into this same procedure make any pl/sql lines to be sure record is not duplicate before insert)
? ? ? If the data already exist it should be needed to truncate before insert that is not my reqr rather the existing data should be updated based on PK if any chages occurs in the CSV fo that data.4º) after you are sure the insert work properly and if you need any other treatment to record, with a trigger in the table or calling any other procedure from the same trigger make the traeataments that you need.
that can be done highly .......before insert trigger.Remember. Dont put any commit.
sure.......5º) Go down from horse. Dont take coffe or Tea in exceed. And remember all we are the same, people that only want go to eat with childs in week-end.
i m in land no way to go down........nothing i take ya eat & eat much ....but this is not the right place for making comments about Weekend....Regards and good luck.
anyway embargo starts...........enjoy Cheers...........Wish u All Hp XMas...

Loading data from .csv file into existing table

Hi,
I have taken a look at several threads which talk about loading data from .csv file into existing /new table. Also checked out Vikas's application regarding the same. I am trying to explain my requirement with an example.
I have a .csv file and I want the data to be loaded into an existing table. The timesheet table columns are -
timesheet_entry_id,time_worked,timesheet_date,project_key .
The csv columns are :
project,utilization,project_key,timesheet_category,employee,timesheet_date , hours_worked etc.
What I needed to know is that before the csv data is loaded into the timesheet table is there any way of validating the project key ( which is the primary key of the projects table) with the projects table . I need to perform similar validations with other columns like customer_id from customers table. Basically the loading should be done after validating if the data exists in the parent table. Has anyone done this kind of loading through the APEX utility-data load.Or is there another method of accomplishing the same.
Does Vikas's application do what the utility does ( i am assuming that the code being from 2005 the utility was not incorporated in APEX at that time). Any helpful advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anjali

Hi Anjali,
Take a look at these threads which might outline different ways to do it -
File Browse, File Upload
Loading CSV file using external table
Loading a CSV file into a table
you can create hidden items in the page to validate previous records before insert data.
Hope this helps,

CSV upload for end user

I've searched all over the web and this forum and haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. I see this referenced a lot (http://avdeo.com/2008/05/21/uploading-excel-sheet-using-oracle-application-express-apex/), but it's still a little too technical for me to figure out.
Is there a packaged app or a dumbed down "how to" for creating a csv upload? I want the end user to be able to upload a csv file (same columns/headings, but the number of rows will vary) and display the table they just uploaded in a report.
Thank you!!

How to add columns for existing table dynamically?

Hi,
I created table structure only. I want to add columns for this existing table. Columns are not fixed, according to the user choice i need to write code.
Plz give me reply asap.
Thanks
Shirisha

Hi Shirisha,
I think the following code snippet will help you.
int l_no_cols = 0;
//Get the number of columns in this variable, something like the following
//l_no_cols = wdContext().currentContextElement().get<Context_attribute_name>;
IWDTable l_tab;
IWDTransparentContainer l_tbl_cont = (IWDTransparentContainer)view.getElement("TableDataCont");//ID of Container
l_tab = (IWDTable)view.getElement("TableData");//ID of Table
l_tab.setVisible(WDVisibility.VISIBLE);
l_tab.bindDataSource(wdContext.nodeTable_Data().getNodeInfo());
for(int a = 1; a <=l_no_cols; a++)
//Creating the column
IWDTableColumn l_tab_col = (IWDTableColumn)view.createElement(IWDTableColumn.class,"COL"+a);
//Creating Caption for Column Header
IWDCaption l_tab_cap = (IWDCaption)view.createElement(IWDCaption.class,"Caption"+a);
l_tab_cap.setText("Col"+i);
l_tab_col.setHeader(l_tab_cap);
//Creating Table Cell Editor for column
IWDInputField l_tab_cell = (IWDInputField)view.createElement(IWDInputField.class,"CellEditor"+a);
//creating context node attribute for the column dynamically
wdContext.nodeTable_Data().getNodeInfo().addAttribute("Col"+i,"com.sap.dictionary.String");
l_tab_cell.bindValue(wdContext.nodeTable_Data().getNodeInfo().getAttribute("Col"+i));
l_tab_col.setTableCellEditor(l_tab_cell);
l_tab.addColumn(l_tab_col);
l_tbl_cont.addChild(l_tab);

How to create a partiotion for existing table

Hi,
There ia one table in database with data. I want to create a partion for this table. data loss of data is not an issue.
Please provide the query for this.
Regards,
Venki

An existing non-partitioned table cannot be partitioned. You will have to create a new, partitioned table and move the data (if you care to keep it) from the old table to the new table, potentially followed by dropping the old table and renaming the new table to use the old table name.
If you do not have a downtime window to accomplish this, you can use DBMS_REDEFINITION to assist. That, however, is just adding a bit of extra complexity on top of the basic procedure in order to support users accessing the table while you're building the new table. Unless your downtime window is insufficient to accomplish the move manually, I wouldn't bother with DBMS_REDEFINITION.

Maintain number range interval for master data upload for existing employee

Hi Experts,
1)I have the scenario to upload additional data for existing employees in PA. Employees are already existed in SAP HR , But additional Infotypes are required to maintain for those emploees
2) I have the senario where i have to upload master data for new employees.
Pls give the detailed description of how to maintain number range interval i.e. External or Internal for upload in both the above scenario. Do we have to maintain number range manually in master data record & then upload it Through BDC or LSMW?

Yes Mr. Patil...
For existing employees
you need to execute HIRING ACTION Through BDC with External number range. While recording you have to use atleast three infotype i.e. IT0000,IT0001,IT0002. In addition you can upload other infotype through PA30.
For new employees
While configuration you can create another number range as internal for new hiring. and use NUMKR feature as well.
Here I don't understand that why r u looking for upload process for new hiring, if it is not mass hiring. It should be day to day activities which would be done by user through PA40.

Create table for existing table

dear all
I have a partition table with millions records and i want to create table from that table
and i want the new table that i create it is contain the same structure(partition) and contain all data
i write this code
create table abc as select * from cda;
but this script donot work as i want (same structure(partition) and contain all data)
so anybody can help me
best regards

And it is not possible to alter the structure of the table in place? It sounds like you are going to be copying all the data from the current table to a new table and then back to the existing table once the existing table has been altered-- that is going to be very expensive in terms of resources, time, downtime windows, etc. Generally, you can just alter the table in place...
Assuming you really want to copy all the data twice, and that the new (staging?) table really needs to have the same partitioning scheme as the primary, the DBMS_METADATA suggestion would seem to work. Moving the data from the exisiting table to the staging table, you might consider partition exchange if you want the staging table to have the same indexes that the current table has.

Csv file uploading for database table creation

Hi there,
I'm in the process of making an application that will be able to upload a csv file and create a table based on the same file. As of now, I have managed to make my application upload a csv file into the database. My problem now is to transfer the data in the csv into a table. If there is a function that can do this, please let me know. But as of now, I have tried all that I can but in vain. I would appreciate any assistance rendered as to how I can go about this.
Kind regards,

create unique index PROMOTION_PK on PROMOTION_DTL (PROMO_ID)
-- Grant/Revoke object privileges
grant select, insert, update, delete on PROMOTION_DTL to SCHEMA_RW_ROLE;I would like to partition this table .Most of the queries contains the following conditions.
promo_end_date >=   SYSDATE
and
(event = :input_event OR
(:input_Start_Date <= promo_end_date
AND promo_start_date <= :input_End_Date))Any time the promotion can be closed by updating the PROMO_END_DATE.
Interval partioning on PROMO_END_DATE is not possible as PROMO_END_DATE is a nullable and updatable field.
I am now to table partition.
Any suggestions are welcome...

HOW to enable oracle advance compression for EXIST partitioned table

Hi All,
I have to enable oracle advance compression for existing table which PARTITION BY RANGE then SUBPARTITION BY HASH.
ORacle version: 11.2.0.2.0
Please provide me any relevant doc or any exp.
Thanks in advance.

could not see any text for how to enable oracle advance compression for EXIST partitioned table.RTFM.
From the resource above:
How do I compress an existing table?
There are multiple options available to compress existing tables. For offline compression, one could use ALTER TABLE Table_Name MOVE COMPRESS statement. A compressed copy of an existing table can be created by using CREATE TABLE Table_Name COMPRESS FOR ALL OPERATIONS AS SELECT *. For online compression, Oracle’s online redefinition utility can be used. More details for online redefinition are available here.
