HELP! How to insert long delimited text into a table

Friends,
I have an Oracle table with a long field containing comma delimited text.
Table Def:
QUOTE_LINES
(quote_no VARCHAR2(20),
quote_data LONG)
Example data from quote_data field:
A='750 Gallon',B='1250',C='300HP',D='Transmission',E=TRUE,F='Top Mount',G='Full Height',H='Full Height'
Note: There are no <CR> in the data.
I want to create a trigger on the table that loads the data into a separate table like this:
quote_no VARCHAR2(20),
line_type VARCHAR2(50),
line_value VARCHAR2(30)
Any suggestions?
Larry

Hello
Really, if at all possible you should look at converting the long column to a clob. This will get rid of lots of limitations and you will be able to treat the column just like a varchar2.
Anyway, if you cannot change from a long for the mean time, you could use the following, as long as the length of the text in your long column doesn't exceed 32k (which by all accounts is pretty large!):
SQL> create table dt_test_long (id number, big_text long);
Table created.
SQL> create or replace procedure dt_test_proc(an_id in dt_test_long.id%type)
2 IS
3
4     lv_LongVal      VARCHAR2(32767);
5
6 BEGIN
7
8     SELECT
9             big_text
10     INTO
11             lv_LongVal
12     FROM
13             dt_test_long
14     WHERE
15             id = an_id;
16
17     dbms_output.put_line(lv_LongVal);
18
19     --do whatever you want with the value here
20
21 END;
22 /

SQL> create or replace trigger dt_test_long_trg before insert on dt_test_long

How to insert a gif file into a table?

Hi,
I need to insert a gif file into a table. Can anyone tell me where I can find the information on how to create this kind of table, how to insert a gif file into a table and how to select?
Thanks,

Hi Helen,
You could read about that in the documentation which is available online.
For a starter: BLOB. And I bet there are many examples to be found on the web.
Good luck. :)

How to insert a default value into MS server in java - help please

hi
suppose if i have a table and one of the column has a default value when the table was created. how can i insert the default value into this column? assuming that the column is the second column and i can't specify the column name when inserting. thanks.

thanks for ur response, so if i have insert statement as follow
insert into someTable values (1,'val1', 'val2', 'val3', 'val4')
and column 3 has default value = DEFAULT
then, to insert default value, my insert statement will look like this
insert into someTable values (1,'val1', 'val3', 'val4')
but the number of values will not match the number of columns.

How to insert an upper value into a column?

Hi!,
I need to insert an upper value into a column.
The data is on a flat file and it could be lowercase or uppercase?
Do I have to create a trigger to solve this problem?
How could the trigger be?
Thanks,
Alex

If you are using SQL*Loader to load the data from flat file into the db table, then you can achieve inserting the UPPER Case of column value in your sqlloader ctl file itself as in below example
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
APPEND INTO TABLE XXX
( field1 position(1:7) char "UPPER(:field1)",
field2 position(8:15) char "UPPER(:field2)"
BEGINDATA
Phil Locke
Jason Durbin
So in this case the Names Phil Locke and Jason Durbin will be inserted as PHIL LOCKE and JASON DURBIN into the target table.

How to Insert check box value into database column

Hi All,
I had checkbox group in a region which is using an LOV......and having 18 items in that lov.
i.e. Total 18 checkboxes in Total. User has to select only 2 checkboxes from that 18.
I created two columns for storing two values of checkboxes. How to insert two selectives in two columns.........Moreover, How to give the query i.e. how to know which values are selected.
Please Help me in achieving this. apart from the two columns (Focus1,Focus2) .......One more column(l_spo_val) is there which is a foreign key.
My Insert Statement is like this:
INSERT INTO SPO_RESEARCH_FOCUS VALUES(l_spo_val
,:P4_RESEARCH_LIST_1
,:P4_RESEARCH_LIST_2);
Please narrate the code if possible.
Thanks,
Sekhar.

Hi Denes,
I saw the example in your workspace and it is the same what exactly i want and instead of storing in one column i want to store the two selected values into two different columns. Also i need to restrict the selection of checkboxes upto 2 only. So If the user tries to select the third check box it doesnt have to accept.
Even I am ready to change my table as according to your example i.e. creating only one column. Store the values of selection into that column.
I was unable to see how u wrote the logic (Code) for your example in your workspace. It helps alot if you provide me the code for that example(Multi Checkbox One Column).
I was facinated after watching your examples in your workspace and am very much interested to know more about Apex.
Please help me insolving this as it is long pending issue for my requirement.
Thanks a lot again,
Sekhar.

How to insert apex_application_files file content into another table?

Hi All,
I am using Apex 3.2 on Oracle 10g.
I have used 'file_browse' item to upload a spreadsheet file into apex_application_files table.
I would like to populate another table with the contents of this spreadsheet file from apex_application_files.
I have spent almost 2 days looking for an answer on how to do this.
Can you please tell me how to do this or point me to a good resource?
Thank you,
Naushad.

Hi Thanks,
I did see this code, but this is not what I was looking for. This code simply inserts the file into another table, but I was looking for the contents of this file (eg. a single column spreadsheet with 10 lines and all ten of these lines to be inserted as rows in a table) inserted as rows into another table.
I managed to implement this by following below link:

Hello,
Remove the Try-Catch as this hides any errors that may be raised. It is unwise to use a Try-Catch this way, always when using a Try-Catch write code that alerts or writes to a log file. Also, there is no need for invoke Close method for the connection object,
the Using statement closes the connection for you.

How to insert large xml data into database tables.

Hi all,
iam new to xml. i want to insert data in xml file to my database tables.but the xml file size is very large. performance is also one of the issue. can anybody please tell me the procedure to take xml file from the server and insert into my database tables.
Thanks in advance

Unfortunately posting very generic questions like this in the forum tends not to be very productive for you, me or the other people who read the forum. It really helps everyone if you take a little time to review existing posts and their answers before starting new threads which replicate subjects that have already been discussed extensively in previous threads. This allows you to ask more sensible questions (eg, I'm using this approach and encountering this problem) rather than extremely generic questions that you can answer yourself by spending a little time reviewing existings posts or using the forum's search feature.
Also in future your might want to try being a little more specific before posting questions
Eg Define "very large". I know of customers who thing very large is 100K, and customers who think 4G is medium. I cannot tell from your post what size your files are.
What is the content of the file. Is it going to be loaded into a single record, or a a single table, or will it need to be loaded into multiple records in a single table or multiple records in multiple tables ?
Do you really need to load the data into exsiting relational tables or could your application work with relational views of the XML Content.
Finally which release of the database are you working with.
Define performance. Is it reasonable to expect to process this kind of document on this machine (Make, memory, #number of CPUs, CPU Speed, number of discs) in this period of time.
WRT to your original question. If you take a few minutes to search this forum you will find a very large number of threads with very similar titles to yours. These theads document a number of different approaches that can be used to solve this problem.
I suggest you start by looking for threads that cover topics like DBMS_XMLSTORE, XMLTable(), Relational Views of XML content, loading XML content in relational tables.

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.

SQL Server 2012 Management Studio: Creating a Database and a dbo Table. Inserting VALUES into the table. How to insert 8 Values for future use in XQuery?

Hi all,
In my SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012), I tried to create a Database (MacLochainnsDB) and a dbo Table (marvel). then I wanted insert 8 VALUES into the Table by using the following code:
USE master
IF EXISTS
(SELECT 1
FROM sys.databases
WHERE name = 'MacLochlainnsDB')
DROP DATABASE MacLochlainnsDB
GO
CREATE DATABASE MacLochlainnsDB
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[marvel] (
[avenger_name] [char] (30) NULL)
INSERT INTO marvel
(avenger_name)
VALUES
('Hulk', 1),
('Iron Man', 2),
('Black Widow', 3),
('Thor', 4),
('Captain America', 5),
('Hawkeye', 6),
('Winter Soldier', 7),
('Iron Patriot', 8)
I got the following error Message:
Msg 110, Level 15, State 1, Line 5
There are fewer columns in the INSERT statement than values specified in the VALUES clause. The number of values in the VALUES clause must match the number of columns specified in the INSERT statement.
How can I correct this problem?
Please kindly help and advise.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Chang
P. S.
The reason I tried to create the Database, dbo Table, and then to insert the VALUES is to learn the following thing:
You can query the entire node tree with the following xquery statement because it looks for the occurrence of any node with the /* search string:
DECLARE @x xml;
SET @x = N'<marvel>
<avenger_name>Captain America</avenger_name>
</marvel>';
SELECT @x.query('/*');
You can query the avenger_name elements from the marvel_xml table with the following syntax:
SELECT xml_table.query('/marvel/avenger_name')
FROM marvel_xml;
It returns the following set of avenger_name elements:
<avenger_name>Hulk</avenger_name>
<avenger_name>Iron Man</avenger_name>
<avenger_name>Black Widow</avenger_name>
<avenger_name>Thor</avenger_name>
<avenger_name>Captain America</avenger_name>
<avenger_name>Hawkeye</avenger_name>
<avenger_name>Winter Soldier</avenger_name>
<avenger_name>Iron Patriot</avenger_name>
You can query the fourth avenger_name element from the marvel_xml table with the following xquery statement:
SELECT xml_table.query('/marvel[4]/avenger_name')
FROM marvel_xml;
It returns the following avenger_name element:
<avenger_name>Thor</avenger_name>

Hi Scott,
The master database records all the system-level information for a SQL Server system, so best practise would be not to create any user-defined
object within it.
To change your default database(master by default) of your login to another, follow the next steps so that next time when connected you don't have to use "USE dbname" to switch database.
Open SQL Server Management Studio
--> Go to Object explorer(the left panel by default layout)
--> Extend "Security"
--> Extend "Logins"
--> Right click on your login, click "propertites"
--> Choose the "Default database" at the bottom of the pop-up window.
--or simply by T-SQL
Exec sp_defaultdb @loginame='yourLogin', @defdb='youDB'
Regarding your question, you can reference the below.
SELECT * FROM master.sys.all_objects where name ='Marvel'
--OR
SELECT OBJECT_ID('master.dbo.Marvel') --if non empty result returns, the object exists
--usually the OBJECT_ID is used if a if statement as below
IF OBJECT_ID('master.dbo.Marvel') IS NOT NULL
PRINT ('TABLE EXISTS') --Or some other logic
What is the sys.all_objects? See
here.
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

How CallableStatement in JSP use setDate() method to insert the date value into DB?

Dear all,
I met a strange error message when i insert a date value into DB via JSP call PL/SQL procedures.
The error seems caused by the setDate(index, date) method with CallableStatement.
The message is: Can not find the setDate(int, java.util.Date) method in the CallableStatement interfaces.
Any ideas?
Thanks advanced.

Thank you!:)
I solved it using this:
String name="david";
            stmt = con1.createStatement();
            String prikaz1 = "INSERT INTO table (id,age,surname,name) IN 'C:\\Users\\David\\Desktop\\db.mdb' SELECT id,age,surname,' " + name + " ' FROM table2";
            stmt.executeUpdate(prikaz1);
