How to handle comma present in any filed while loading CSV file in APEX

I am trying to import excel sheet data into a table. I have followed steps mentioned in below link and they work just fine with one exception.
http://avdeo.com/2008/05/21/uploading-excel-sheet-using-oracle-application-express-apex/
Exception is related to presense of comma (,) in any particular filed like- Address.
How can I handle this situation? I am using APEX 3.2
Thanks,
Abhi

Yes this is correct.
but problem will occur when e.g check the foll. string.
(1001,And I quote "This, will work")
Here it is a comm(,) in b/w "This and will".
due to this sqlldr interpret it as end of field. and throws an error.
I had gone through expert one on one oracle, what it maintioned as,
put an extra double quotes( " ) like " " to enclosed the double quoted string.
This works fine. For small data it can be done manually.
But for large data what condition can be put in the ctl file to achieve this?
or is there any other way to achieve this?
Thank you.

How to get Mountain Lion Spotlight to find text in CSV files?

Does anyone know how to get Mountain Lion Spotlight to find text in CSV Files? Spotlight worked flawlessly with Snow Leopard on my last MAC but with Mountain Lion it doesn't recognize CSV Files. I have researched this extensively and haven't found any solution but I really believe there must be many others who have the same problem. I even contacted Apple's Genius Bar which was of no help whatsoever, they couldn't even tell me why Spotlight wasn't finding text in CSV Files, i.e., function dropped by Apple, bug, etc.
Thru research I found that if the CSV Files are converted to 'Plain Text Files' Spotlight will find text inside of the files but I typically save my spreadsheets as CSV Files and don't want to have to convert them to Plain Text Files just so Spotlight will search them.
I appreciate any help you can give.
Joel

I should have mentioned earlier that I do NOT have any exclusions set under the Spotlight Privacy tab, however, I did move one of the folders that contains CSV Files in then back out of the Privacy tab to try and get Spotlight to index the folder, but to no avail.
I have a second Admin account and tried to find text in CSV Files while in that account, again to no avail. I also tried upgrading to Mountain Lion 10.8.4 to see if it might fix the problem, but no soap.
Below is a screenshot of the Systems Preferences/Library/Spotlight/RichText.mdimporter/ file and I don't even see where Spotlight is setup to find CSV Files on my computer, very confusing but thanks again for your input.

How do I get my movies to play while loading like the QT trailers do?

I have tried several different things in iMovie and iWeb, and I can not find anything on it. When I put a movie on my site, the viewer sees a Q for Quicktime, until the movie is fully loaded. How can I make it so it plays while loading, the way the Quicktime Trailers do. they way they don't have to wait so long to see it.
-Z

Check out iSquint...
http://www.isquint.org
Drop your QT movies into iSquint and let it reencode your movies to whatever quality you like. It will add the faststart feature to your movies. The .mp4 files produced by iSquint are ready to drop into iWeb and will allow your movies to start playing before the download finishes.

How to handle comma separated values in OLE DB Source query for a parameter variable from XML file in SSIS

Hi,
I am using OLE DB Source to fetch the records with Data Access Mode as SQL COMMAND which is using the below query with a parameter,
SELECT CON.Title,CON.FirstName,EMP.MaritalStatus,EMP.Gender,EMP.Title AS Designation, EMP.HireDate, EMP.BirthDate,CON.EmailAddress, CON.Phone
from HumanResources.Employee EMP INNER JOIN Person.Contact CON ON EMP.ContactID=CON.ContactID WHERE EMP.Title in (?)
In this query for the parameter I am passing the value from a variable and which is configured (XML Configuration). While passing value
Buyer it works correctly. But while passing values Accountant,Buyer
it is not working as expected.
How to handle while passing such multiple values Or is it possible to pass such values or not in SSIS 2012 ?
Kindly help me to find a solution.
NOTE: I placed the whole query in a variable as a expression as below it is working fine.
"select CON.Title,CON.FirstName,EMP.MaritalStatus,EMP.Gender,EMP.Title AS Designation,EMP.HireDate,EMP.BirthDate,CON.EmailAddress,CON.Phone from HumanResources.Employee EMP
INNER JOIN Person.Contact CON ON EMP.ContactID=CON.ContactID WHERE EMP.Title in ('" + REPLACE(@[User::temp],",","','") +"')"
Any other solution is there ? without placing the query in a variable. May be a variable can have some limitations for no. of characters stored not sure just a thought.
Sridhar

Putting the whole thing into a variable is certainly a valid solution. The other involves putting the comma delimited list into a table valued variable.

How to handle comma in the string

I need compare a string in HTMLDB report, as
Select HOST, MODEL
From hwrpt
WHERE MODEL= :P3_MODEL
Since most IBM models has 'IBM, XXXX-YYY' syntax for P3:_MODEL, the query failed. I tried to use single/double quoe but failed too.
Is there a function/syntex I can use to handle comma in the string?

You need no special quoting because there is a comma in the text string. I was able to do the following:
1) Created a table named HWRPT with columns HOST and MODEL.
2) Inserted one record with the value of IBM, XXXX-YYY in the model column.
3) I created an unconditional branch back to page 2. I created a SQL Report region with the following Select: Select HOST, MODEL From hwrpt
4) Created a Text item P2_MODEL on page 2.
5) Added the following text to the SELECT statement for the report region: where model = :p2_model
6) Ran the page and put IBM, XXXX-YYY in P2_MODEL and pressed the ENTER key.
7) The row was displayed.

How to handle the master data when we are loading the from multiple clients

Hi,
We are loading HR data from two different clients 101 and 102 of same source system.
Here we are facing the problem with msater data maintenance for employee in BW, whose employee numbers are same.
For example client 101 employee range is 10001 to 10100.
In client 102 also same employee range.Then how to handle the above scenario
Is there any solutions apart from compounding of infoobjets with logical system.
Thanks in advance for your sugessions.
Thanks.
Maria.

Hi ,
you can create copy of 0EMPLOYEE Object.
Load one client master data to the copied object.
Example:
1. Create ZEMPLOYEE copy of 0EMPLOYEE.
2. create the transformation or rules
3. You have to follow same for remaining objects

How can I read, millions of records and write as *.csv file

I have to return some set of columns values(based on current date) from the database (could be million of record also) The dbms_output can accomodate only 20000 records. (I am retrieving thru a procedure using cursor).
I should write these values to a file with extn .csv (comma separated file) I thought of using a utl_file. But I heard there is some restriction on the number of records even in utl_file.
If so, what is the restriction. Is there any other way I can achive it? (BLOB or CLOB ??).
Please help me in solving this problem.
I have to write to .csv file, the values from the cursor I have concatinated with "," and now its returning the value to the screen (using dbms_output, temporarily) I have to redirect the output to .csv
and the .csv should be in some physical directory and I have to upload(ftp) the file from the directory to the website.
Please help me out.

Jimmy,
Make sure that utl_file is properly installed, make sure that the utl_file_dir parameter is set in the init.ora file and that the database has been re-started so that it will take effect, make sure that you have sufficient privileges granted directly, not through roles, including privileges to the file and directory that you are trying to write to, add the exception block below to your procedure to narrow down the source of the exception, then test again. If you still get an error, please post a cut and paste of the exact code that you run and any messages that you received.

        raise_application_error(-20001,

How to remove carraige return from the field while loading external table

I am facing an issue of not getting rid of carraige returns present in the fileds of the source .csv file while loading the records into external table.
I had tried using LRTRIM, but it does not help.
The error I am getting is:
KUP-04021: field formatting error for field POPULATION_DESCRIPTION
KUP-04037: terminator not found
I am pasting one record out of the .csv file which is causing this error as below:
"Business Card Accounts
",123,7 BizCard - Gamers,Control,"Business Card Accounts
",75270,75271
You can see the carraige return in the 1st field as well as 5th field. Filed are separated by commas & eclosed by double quotes.
Could anybody help on this please?

Can you copy the file to an external table only version, and then dos2unix it?
Alternatively, you can use the ACCESS PARAMETERS area in your external table definition to set that your RECORDS DELIMITED BY carriage returns, instead of the default.
Check out the example here http://www.psoug.org/reference/externaltab.html

Unable to Load CSV file with comma inside the column(Sql Server 2008)

Hi,
I am not able load an CSV file with Comma inside a column.
Here is sample File:(First row contain the column names)
_id,qp,c
"1","[ ""0"", ""0"", ""0"" ]","helloworld"
"1","[ ""0"", ""0"", ""0"" ]","helloworld"
When i specify the Text Qualifier as "(Double quotes) it work in SQL Server 2012, where as fail in the SQL Server 2008, complaining with error:
TITLE: Microsoft Visual Studio
The preview sample contains embedded text qualifiers ("). The flat file parser does not support embedding text qualifiers in data. Parsing columns that contain data with text qualifiers will fail at run time.
BUTTONS:
OK
I need to do this in sql server 2008 R2 with Service pack 2, my build version is 10.50.1600.1.
Can someone let me know it is possible in do the same way it is handle in SQL Server 2012?
Or
It got resolved in any successive Cumulative update after 10.50.1600.1?
Regards Harsh

Hello,
If you have CSV with double quotes inside double quotes and with SSIS 2008, I suggest:
in your data flow you use a script transformation component as Source, then define the ouput columns id signed int, Gp unicode string and C unicode string. e.g. Ouput 0 output colmuns
Id - four-byte signed
gp - unicode string
cc - unicode string
Do not use a flat file connection, but use a user variable in which you store the name of the flat file (this could be inside a for each file loop).
The user variable is supplied as a a readonly variable argument to the script component in your dataflow.
In the script component inMain.CreateNewOutputRows use a System.IO.Streamreader with the user variable name to read the file and use the outputbuffer addrow method to add each line to the output of the script component.
Between the ReadLine instraction and the addrow instruction you have to add your code to extract the 3 column values.
public override void CreateNewOutputRows()
Add rows by calling the AddRow method on the member variable named "<Output Name>Buffer".
For example, call MyOutputBuffer.AddRow() if your output was named "MyOutput".
string line;
System.IO.StreamReader file = new System.IO.StreamReader( Variables.CsvFilename);
while ((line = file.ReadLine()) != null)
System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show(line);
if (line.StartsWith("_id,qp,c") != true) //skip header line
Output0Buffer.AddRow();
string[] mydata = Yourlineconversionher(line);
Output0Buffer.Id = Convert.ToInt32(mydata[0]);
Output0Buffer.gp = mydata[1];
Output0Buffer.cc = mydata[2];
file.Close();

How to load csv file in oracle table

Hi,
i have csv files to which i want to load the csv file data and table structure in oracle. my csv files on the window machine but database is runing on ibm aix.so how to do it please any one can help me about. thanks a lot in advance
i know th syntax below
$sqlldr userid=username/password control=<filename> log=<log filename>

Hello,
Yes, with SQL*Loader you can do it.
But first you have to create a Table into your database with columns and datatype matching
the content of you "csv" file.
Then, you'll have to prepare a control file and use the option fields terminated by "," as it's
a "csv" format.
Then, you could execute your statement.
Please, find enclosed a link with some example about SQL*Loader and "csv" file:
[http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/SQL*Loader_FAQ]
Hope this help.
Best regards,
