How to import spreadsheet into relational database?

I hope this is the best forum for placing this type of question. I had a general question regarding what are the best/accepted methods for doing this type of thing. XML? Web Services? Combination of things?
I have an existing Oracle relational database, containing several tables. From the client, I receive bulk amount of data (in Excel spreadsheet format) that needs to be directly imported into the database (while respecting all of the integrity and foreign key constraints). The data from the spreadsheet cannot be directly dumped into one table. For example, if you have information in the spreadsheet that captures Country and the user has entered in 'Spain'. You would have to look up 'Spain' in the Countries Table to retrieve its id value and then use this as a foreign key value in the appropriate table.
So my question is, how do I go about doing this? What steps and what technologies are best in achieving this goal? I am thinking XML should play a part in this somehow. I have played around with a trial version of XMLSpy and generated an xsd file from my database, but I am not sure where to go from there. My IDE is IBM RAD 7, however I am not sure if I should try doing this separate from the actual application or not.
Please advise. Any ideas or feedback of previous experience regarding this type of task is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

You have some arbitrary data somewhere in an Excel spreadsheet. You're going to need some code which knows where that data is and how to get at it. You weren't planning for any such code? Or were you hoping it would somehow happen automatically? I don't seem to be following your understanding of the problem at all.
Here's how I see it:
1. Get the data from the spreadsheet.
2. Update the database with that data.
You have to do both of these things. You can hard-code the bit which says "get the order quantity from cell J6" or you can write your own language that allows you to say that outside Java, it doesn't really matter. This could be XML if you're determined to get XML in there somehow. But you are going to need code that reads the spreadsheet.

How to retrieve Outline Into Relational Database??

sir i have installed Hyperion and SQL server 2008 On my system ..
I am working on ETL process .
I have OUTLINE DATABASE OTL FILE that i have to retrieve in RELATIONAL DATABASE MDF FILE...
so how can I do this??
thanking you for view this question and giving me answer...

Hi,
Depends on what products you are willing to use, personally I would use ODI to extract the outline information and then load into a table, another option would be use the applied olap outline extractor (which is free) or you could use one of the APIs and write the code to extract and load.

How to import metadata into EPMA application by using ODI

Hi All,
1.Can you tell anyone, how to import metadata into EPMA application by using ODI. Detailed steps with screen shots will be appreciated.
2. What was the interface tables. How the interface tables will be useful while importing metadata into EPMA application (Detailed steps with screen shots will be appreciated.). And tell me the interface tables structure and work process. give me the clear idea bout interface tables. I don't know anything about interface tables.
3.Which method(either using ODI or Interface tables) is optimized/bestcase for importing metadata into EPMA application.
My database is Oracle 10g and I am using Planning 9.3.1.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks And Regards,
Bhagya Lakshmi.

Hi,
Answer to your questions
1. You can't import metadata directly into EPMA using ODI, the only option is use the EPMA interface tables which is your question 2.
2. Interface tables are just a structure of database tables which you populate with metadata and then this is pushed into EPMA, the structure of the tables takes a while to get an understanding of. The best place to start would be the documentation :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10530_01/doc/epm.931/bpma_admin.pdf
3. As explained in question 1 you can't use ODI directly to import metadata into EPMA but with a lot of hard work and effort you could probably populate interface tables from EPMA, though I must admit I am not a fan of the interface tables because I don't think they were designed with simplicity and ease of use in mind.

If you want to embed videos in your muse site, without using a service like youtube or vimeo, then you will need to manually upload the video files on the server and use them via the video tag available in html5, HTML5 Video
To insert the video tags in your muse pages, you will need to use the 'Object -> Insert HTML' option.
Since this option is not available in Muse, out of the box, I will recommend that you post this on our ideas section over here, https://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas, and let our devs team know of this requirement.

My i phone was stolen and now I need to upload my contact to my i cloud from my I tunes...any ideas how to import contacts into i cloud, with either i tunes or with old iphone

My i phone was stolen and now I need to upload my contacts to my i cloud from my I tunes...any ideas how to import contacts into i cloud, with either i tunes or with old iphone?

If you have the contacts on the phone you can sync the phone to the computer. The contacts should then show in address book. At this point you can sync the address book data to iCloud. You have to make sure the iCloud account is setup on the computer and this will not work unless the computer is running 10.7.2 of course. There are other ways to add the contacts to iCloud like through the phone but the phone must be running iOS5. If it is you can simply add the cloud account to the phone and toggle the contacts slider. You will get a prompt to keep or delete the contact data. Of course you keep. Then you will get a prompt to merge at which point you do. This should merge the contacts on the phone with iCloud. Hope this helps.

Can anyone tell me how to import vCard into iCloud??

Whenever i try to import a vCard from my pc into iCloud, it always shows a message that, "1 contact couldn't be imported because there was a problem reading the vCard" Can anyone tell me how to import vCard into iCloud??

Hey,
Yes, a lot of people have this question actually. You need to import it like it's a video and then find iPhoto in the import window to do it. Check out this site. It shows you exactly how to do this.

How to import Photos into Active Directory

Hi -
IT Director asked me to import employees pictures into Active Directory so that we can use them in Outlook, SharePoint, Lync etc.
Do you know how to import pictures into Active Directory?

Thumbnailphoto Attribute in active directory is responsible for adding photos to Active directory.
By Default Replication of this attribute will be disabled to Global catalog server. To make use of this facility we will have to enable replication of this attribute to Global Catalog. ( To accomplish this you will have to edit the schema using Active directory
schema snap in).
Refer Below link which explains about enabling the replication of Thumbnailphoto attribute to Global catalog.
http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2010/management-administration/configuring-using-display-picture-exchange-server-2010.html
Requirements
Minimum requirement for your exchange enviornment to use this - Exchange 2010.
Exchange 2007 Don't support uploading photos AFAIK.
Domain controller should be running with atleast windows server 2008 or later. And
schema has to be windows server 2008
Additionally for your information,
How to remove the uploaded photos?
Either You can edit the Thumbnailphoto attribute using ADSIedit and remove the entry which is assocaited with Thumbnailphoto attribute.
Or,
Try this.
The Import-RecipientDataProperty and Export-RecipientDataProperty cmdlets allow you to import and export the photo blob to and from
thumbnailPhoto attribute, but there's no Remove-RecipientDataProperty cmdlet to remove it. You can use the
RemovePicture switch of Set-Mailbox cmdlet to remove a user's photo. For example:
Set-Mailbox "Bharat Suneja" -RemovePicture

How to import DLU into CCM

Hi everyone
I am a voice amatuer, so who can tell me how to import DLU into CCM. I never did it. please tell me the detail step.
Thanks

Hi
In general:
1) You receive an 11-digit PAK code from Cisco.
2) Go to www.cisco.com/go/license, and register the PAK code. For this you need your CCM licensing MAC address; one way to find this is go to CCMAdmin (ccmpublisher/ccmadmin), log in, go to System/Licensing/Upload License, then view an existing license to see what the 'host' part refers to. Another is to go to ccmpublisher/cmplatform, log in, and go to Show/Network.
3) You receive a .lic file from Cisco via email
4) Log into the CCM Publisher at ccmpublisherip/ccmadmin
5) Go to system/licensing/Upload License and upload your file
Regards
Aaron

How to import MP4 into iMovie 09

How to import MP4 into iMovie09

You will need to convert it to something that iMovie can edit.
1) The first step is to see if QuickTime can play it. See if you can open it in QuickTime Player.
If you can, Proceed to Step 3
2) If QuickTime cannot play it, I would try to download a set of open source codecs called Perian. They will handle many odd codecs like this. Go to Perian.ORG and download them. Then go back to step 1.
Note: If Perian does not work for you, come back for some more ideas.
3) Once QuickTime can play it, you need to convert it to something iMovie can edit. If you have QuickTime Pro, use that. If you would prefer a free alternative, download MPEG STREAMCLIP from Squared 5. Drag the 3G2 clip into MPEG Streamclip and then FILE/Export to QuickTIme...
Choose Apple Intermediate Codec (for highest quality) or choose h.264 (for smallest file size) and save it in a place you can find it.
4) Now open iMovie, and use FILE/IMPORT...MOVIES to import the converted file into iMovie for editing.

Insert XML file into Relational database model - no XMLTYPE!

Dear all,
How can I store a known complex XML file into an existing relational database WITHOUT using xmltypes in the database ?
I read the article on DBMS_XMLSTORE. DBMS_XMLSTORE indeed partially bridges the gap between XML and RDBMS to a certain extent, namely for simply structured XML (canonical structure) and simple tables.
However, when the XML structure will become arbitrary and rapidly evolving, surely there must be a way to map XML to a relational model more flexibly.
We work in a java/Oracle10 environment that receives very large XML documents from an independent data management source. These files comply with an XML schema. That is all we know. Still, all these data must be inserted/updated daily in an existing relational model. Quite an assignment isn't it ?
The database does and will not contain XMLTYPES, only plain RDBMS tables.
Are you aware of a framework/product or tool to do what DBMS_XMLSTORE does but with any format of XML file ? If not, I am doomed.
Cheers.
Luc.
