How do I create a binary file using PL/SQL

Hi
Can you help me with writing a binary file in PL/SQL? I like to load binary data from data file, process in database then write to a new binary file.
Thank you very much in advance.

DBMS_LOB won't help you write a BLOB to disk.
You need to an external procedure to do that. Eric K's java works great and he's helped me with his solution and probably about a thousand others.
Doing a search on this forum will yield many discussions on this often regurgitated topic.

U need :
1) To have UTL_FILE_DIR param in the init file of the instance with the same directory (don't forget to stop and restart the base)
2) Handled the exceptions listed in the utl_file package (Oracle_home\rdbms\admin\utlfile.sql) in your source.
3) Turn set serveroutput on in SQL*Plus.
Run your procedure and see the error message to debug.

How to dynamically create sqlldr control file using stored procedure

I am trying to dynamically create the control file (.ctl) and execute the same using a stored procedure.I would be passing the file name as a parameter to this procedure. How do I go about doing this?
The control file has the following structure. The file name (mktg) varies and is passed as an input to the stored procedure.
SPOOL mktg.ctl
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'mktg.csv'
INTO TABLE staging
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
TRAILING NULLCOLS

Create a Multiple Files using PL-SQL

Hi Experts,
I have a table which contains 360 records and want to create multiple files with each file containing 12 records.
I tried to use the below code, however was unsuccessfull..
Please help!!!!
DECLARE

Thanks Ramin,
Your Code really helped. I am now not getting no errors and files are also being created. However, if I replace the UTL_FILE with DBMS_OUTPUT, I get below output. In your code i replaced 12 with 3. Hence its dividing after 3 rows. (with 1st row duplicated)
Output

How can I create an Excel file?

Hi,
How can I create an Excel file using Forms 6i.
What I'm doing is to create a file using TEXT_IO package an name it .XLS. If a read it double-clicking over the file, it opens Ok but If I open directly from Excel it opens the Convert dialog.
I need to create an excel file as it was made from within Excel.
Thank in advance,
Benjamin

When you are talking about subfiles, are you talking like Package contents of an application?
Terminal application in Applications -> Utilities can give a command line grasp of all your files using the du command.
Type
man du
when entering the terminal, followed by the enter key.
Note, by default the terminal opens at the Home folder. To navigate outside the Home folder enter "/Volumes/name of mounted drive/folder/subfolder" as your path. If there are spaces in the name, putting quotes around the whole path can help. If you end your du command with a > name.txt a text file with the name name.txt will be plugged into your Home directory. That you can open with Excel and parse by /es thus giving you everything in Excel.

How to create the trace file using run_report_object at runtime

Dear All
using :
Oracel Application Server 10g
Oracle Database 11g
Windows XP/sp3
I'm using run_report_object to call a report inside the form. THis report is running OK from reports builder, however it's too slow when run from Application server.
How Can I create a trace file (at runtime) that contains the time spent in sql and formating the layout of the report ??
Here is My code :
repid := find_report_object('report5');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_FILENAME,'INVOICE.REP');
v_url :='paramform=no';
v_url := v_url||' FROM_NO=' || :PRINT_BLOCK.FROM_NO ;
v_url := v_url ||' TO_NO=' || :PRINT_BLOCK.TO_NO ||' FROM_DATE=' || v_from_date ||' TO_DATE='|| v_to_date ||' NO_DATE=' ;
v_url := v_url ||:PRINT_BLOCK.NO_DATE||' IDENT=' ||:PRINT_BLOCK.IDENT_NO||' REPORT_HEADING='''||V_REPORT_HEADING||'''' ;
v_url := v_url||' COMPANY_NO='||:global.company_no;
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,v_url);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER,:GLOBAL.INV_REPORT_SERVER_NAME);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'pdf');
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
V1:='/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1);
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?server='||REPORT_SERVER_NAME,'_blank');
END IF;
Thanks a lot

Slow running reports often are not the result of a flawed report, but rather a flawed configuration. For example:
1. If you call your reports (from Forms) via the default or inProcess Reports Server, often because startup time is slow, it will appear that it took too long for the report to be delievered. Using a stand-alone Rep Server is the preferred way to do this.
2. If your Forms application makes numerous calls to RRO (RUN_REPORT_OBJECT), this can tend to result in what might appear as a memory leak (although it is not). The result is delayed processing because of the excessive memory use. This problem has been overcome in Forms/Reports 11 by the use of JVM pooling. However in v10 enabling "6i compatibility" mode is the way to overcome the issue. See Note 266073.1
3. If the report runs fine from the Builder and it is connecting to the same db as when you run it from App Server, the issue is unlikely a db problem. However, if you want to look anyway, enable sqlnet tracing.
4. To enable Reports tracing and investigate other tuning options, refer to the Reports 10 documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B14099_11/bi.1012/b14048/pbr_tune.htm
Almost forgot to mentioned this one....
If you are using a v11 db with App Server 10, you will probably want to consider reviewing Note 1099035.1 as it discusses an issue related to performance with such a configuration.

When it was explained to me it didn't sound to hard of a task, I have no LabVIEW experience and the tutortial sucks.

StevenD: FYI, I did NOT give you the one star rating. I would never do that!
StevenD wrote:

Well, this is an assignment, so it is probably homework.
Why else would anyone give HIM such an assigment, after all he has no LabVIEW experience and the tutorials are too hard for him?
This would make no sense unless all of it was just covered in class!
This is not a free homework service with instant gratification.
OK! Let's do it step by step. I assume you already have a VI with the digital indicators.
"...but have no idea where to begin".
open notepad.
decide on a format, possibly one line per indicator.
type the document.
close notepad.
open LabVIEW.
Open the existing VI with all the indicators.
(are you still following?)
look at the diagram.
Who made the program?
Does the code make sense so far?
Is it a statemachine or just a bunch of crisscrossed wires?
Where do you want to add the file read?
How should the file be read (after pressing a read button, at the start of the program ,etc.)
See how far you get!

SAX: How to create new XML file using SAX parser

Hi,
Please anybody help me to create a XML file using the Packages in the 5.0 pack of java. I have successfully created it reading the tag names and values from database using DOM but can i do this using SAX.
I am successful to read XML using SAX, now i want to create new XML file for some tags and its values using SAX.
How can i do this ?
Sachin Kulkarni

SAX is a parser, not a generator.Well,
you can use it to create an XML file too. And it will take care of proper encoding, thus being much superior to a normal textwriter:
See the following code snippet (out is a OutputStream):
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(out);
      StreamResult streamResult = new StreamResult(pw);
      SAXTransformerFactory tf = (SAXTransformerFactory) TransformerFactory.newInstance();
      //      SAX2.0 ContentHandler.
      TransformerHandler hd = tf.newTransformerHandler();
      Transformer serializer = hd.getTransformer();
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "UTF-8");//
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM,"pdfBookmarks.xsd");
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.DOCTYPE_SYSTEM,"http://schema.inplus.de/pdf/1.0");
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.METHOD,"xml");
      serializer.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.INDENT, "yes");
      hd.setResult(streamResult);
      hd.startDocument();
      //Get a processing instruction
      hd.processingInstruction("xml-stylesheet","type=\"text/xsl\" href=\"mystyle.xsl\"");
      AttributesImpl atts = new AttributesImpl();
      atts.addAttribute("", "", "someattribute", "CDATA", "test");
      atts.addAttribute("", "", "moreattributes", "CDATA", "test2");
       hd.startElement("", "", "MyTag", atts);
String curTitle = "Something inside a tag";
          hd.characters(curTitle.toCharArray(), 0, curTitle.length());
    hd.endElement("", "", "MyTag");
      hd.endDocument();
You are responsible for proper nesting. SAX takes care of encoding.

How to Create a Flat File using FTP/File Adapter

Can any body done workaround on creating the Flat file using FTP/File Adapter?.
I need to create a simple FlatFile either using of delimiter/Fixed length. using the above said adapters we can create XML file, i tried concatinating all the values into a single String and writing into a file, but it does not have proper structure
Can any body help me out on this..
Thanks
Ram

You can create a text schema while creating a File Adapter. If schema is specified for File Adapter, it takes care of converting XML into fixed length or delimited format.

How do i create one source file that feeds two users on the same pro book?

how do i create one source file/folder of photos that feeds two users on the same pro book?

Well you can do exactly the same with a folder of photos, just put in the Users/Shared folder.
Iphoto is a mite more complex than this. It's a database and so there's a bit more involved.
For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
What you mean by 'share'.
If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
(You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

Creating an output file using 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' function

Hi SapAll.
when i try to create an out put text file using the FM 'GUI_DOWNLOAD' by wiring the follwoing below source code
CONCATENATE 'ASORT' c_tab 'ASORTYP' c_tab
                'VKORG' c_tab 'DATAB' c_tab
                'DATBI' INTO outtab-txt.
iam not able to create the text file with more than 16 fields.i have tried to create an out put file with 24 fields but i can only see 16 fields in it.so could any body help me in finding out how i can create an Output file with more than 16 fields in the file.
your help will be appreciated.
regards.
Varma

check your output definition....are you doing something like below? SAP will transfer 1024 bytes per line with GUI_DOWNLOAD.    After you download, how do you view the data? Be sure you're looking at the data with something that will show all 1024 bytes, and not jsut 256 or 512.
types: begin of outline,
           txt(1024),
         end of outline.
data: outtab type table of outline,
         ls_out type outline.
