How to insert text file in a table (unix environment)

Hi All,
i am having a requirement that i need to insert a text file in table.
how can i do it. i am in unix environment.
NOTE:- for this i have to write a SQL*LOADER script (not a pl/sql unit)
Regards
Harsh

You can use SQLDeveloper to help load data from a file into a table. With SQLDeveloper you can load data into an existing table by right clicking on the table on the connections tree and choosing import and selecting the file to import. If the table does not exist you can right click on the table folder and click import and the import process will allso create the table. You have the choice of a number of methods for importing the data, including SQL Loader, insert script, excuted sql, staging external table or permanent external table.

How to skip text files in sql table ?

Hi,
I am using 10g developer suite. How to skip the record in to sql table from txt file ? Table has primary key concept.
At present I am skipping the record via sql loader. Is there any way in the forms like plsql coding ?
Warm regards
vasanth.

So I'm guessing you are loading a text file into a database table using SQL*Loader and using the skip funcionality to skip records you don't want loaded. Now you want to do something similar in PL/SQL?
You could take a look at External Tables which will allow you to specify the text file as an external table and skip rows just the same as SQL*Loader, but you can query directly from it, or you could go the long winded way about it and use the UTL_FILE package to open the file, read lines of data and process those lines yourself choosing whether to skip lines and which ones you want to insert into a table etc.

Hello,
What manu suggested this can be done through oracle forms.
If as i read your last post you are using that in database it will not work in db. Try to use the same process in oracle forms will work by making some changes.
And if you don't want to use forms then there is one way using SQL LOADER. It required control file to execute for uploading data.
See the below link.
http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/SQL*Loader_FAQ
In this example its showing filename.csv you can use your file name like yourfilename.txt.
So your control file will look like this...
load data
infile 'file_path\file_name.txt'
into table table_name -- use actual table name where you want to upload data
fields terminated by " " -- Here using spaces as you mentioned
(column1, column2, column3) -- Here use the three column names of tableAnd after creating control file with the above code. You can call it in command prompt like this
sqlldr username/password control=control_file_path\control_file_name.ctl log=log_file_path\log_file_name.log
or
sqlldr username/password@dbconnection control=control_file_path\control_file_name.ctl log=log_file_path\log_file_name.log
Before doing this practice make sure SQLLDR.exe availabe in the machine where you have to execute. Otherwise you will have to install db client for using sqlldr.exe

Hi,
Please list the errors that u are getting. Also check that your listener and tnsnames.ora file is configured for external procedures
Listener should have the following entries:
LISTENER =
(DESCRIPTION_LIST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC))
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = /u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.6)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
Entry in tnsnames.ora will be:

How to insert data into the mysql table by giving as a text file

Hi,
Any one know's how to insert data into the mysql table by giving as a text file as the input in JSP.Please respond ASAP.
Thanks:)

At least you can try StringTokenizer to parse your text files. Or download a text JDBC driver to parse your files, for instance, HXTT Text(www.hxtt.net) or StelsCSV(www.csv-jdbc.com).

How to import data from a text file into a table

Hello,
I need help with importing data from a .csv file with comma delimiter into a table.
I've been struggling to figure out how to use the "Import from Files" wizard in Oracle 10g web-base Enterprise Manager.
I have not been able to find a simple instruction on how to use the Wizard.
I have looked at the Oracle Database Utilities - Overview of Oracle Data Pump and the Help on the "Import: Files" page.
Neither one gave me enough instruction to be able to do the import successfully.
Using the "Import from file" wizard, I created a Directory Object using the Create Directory Object button. I Copied the file from which i needed to import the data into the Operating System Directory i had defined in the Create Directory Object page. I chose "Entire files" for the Import type.
Step 1 of 4 is the "Import:Re-Mapping" page, I have no idea what i need to do on this page. All i know i am not tying to import data that was in one schema into a different schema and I am not importing data that was in one tablespace into a different tablespace and i am not R-Mapping datafiles either. I am importing data from a csv file.
For step 2 of 4, "Import:Options" page, I selected the same directory object i had created.
For step 3 of 4, I entered a job name and a description and selected Start Immediately option.
What i noticed going through the wizard, the wizard never asked into which table do i want to import the data.
I submitted the job and I got ORA-31619 invalid dump file error.
I was sure that the wizard was going to fail when it never asked me into which table do i want to import the data.
I tried to use the "imp" utility in command-line window.
After I entered (imp), i was prompted for the username and the password and then the buffer size as soon as i entered the min buffer size I got the following error and the import was terminated:
C:\>imp
Import: Release 10.1.0.2.0 - Production on Fri Jul 9 12:56:11 2004

Enter insert buffer size (minimum is 8192) 30720> 8192
IMP-00037: Character set marker unknown
IMP-00000: Import terminated unsuccessfully
Please show me the easiest way to import a text file into a table. How complex could it be to do a simple import into a table using a text file?
We are testing our application against both an Oracle database and a MSSQLServer 2000 database.
I was able to import the data into a table in MSSQLServer database and I can say that anybody with no experience could easily do an export/import in MSSQLServer 2000.
I appreciate if someone could show me how to the import from a file into a table!
Thanks,
Mitra

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:

Thanks to all of you.

How to load text file data to Oracle Database table?

By using Oracle Forms, how to load text file data to Oracle Database table?

Metalink note 33247.1 explains how to use text_io as suggested by Robin to read the file into a Multi-Row block. However, that article was written for forms 4.5 and uses CREATE_RECORD in a loop. There was another article, 91513.1 describing the more elegant method of 'querying' the file into the block by transactional triggers. Unfortunately this more recent article has disappeared without trace and Oracle deny its existence. I know it existed as I have a printed copy in front of me, and very useful it is too.

How to extract data from text file to database table

Hi ,
I am trying to upload data in text file to database table using GUI_UPLOAD function .what would be the program for that.
thanks in advance.

Hi,
I don't think you have a standard sap program to upload data from file to database table...
Instead you can create a custom program like this..

DATA: T_ZTABLE LIKE ZTABLE OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
