How to query a csv file

Hello I am new to cold fusion.
I am wondering if there is a way to query a csv file using a read from cffile? Currently I have it setup as a cffile read and then I try to query the file using cffquery. Obviously this doesn't work because I have to set a datasource. Is there anyway to do this or any way to set a csv file as a data source? Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

You would have to read in the csv and create a query using QueryNew(). Once you have the csv in a query format, then you can perform query of queries to do most anything you want on the data. There is probably code already written out there to do the csv to query, you just need to find it. The query of queries is in the documentation. The only gotcha is that query of queries sorting and matching is case sensitive. Hope this helps.

  • How to query the flat files?

    Hi
    How to query the flat files that are used in Etl From EBS source.

    That can be done in OBIEE. Save the flat file as .csv format. Then go to ODBC Administrator on windows machine where you BI server is running, and create an System DSN and select "Microsft Access Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv)" as driver type.
    Next, import tables in RPD using this ODBC connection. Rest of the steps as same as building model from a table source.

  • How to create a csv file with NCS attributes?

    Hi
    i installed Cisco Prime NCS and trying to perform bulk update of device credentials with csv file.
    How to create a csv file with all required attributes?
    This is part of NCS online help talking about this topic:
    Bulk Update Devices—To update the device credentials in a bulk, select Bulk Update Devices from the Select a command drop-down list. The Bulk Update Devices page appears.You can choose a CSV file.
    Note        The CSV file contains a list of devices to be updated, one device per line. Each line is a comma separated list of device attributes. The first line describes the attributes included. The IP address attribute is mandatory.
    Bellow is test csv file i created but does not work:
    10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
    10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
    The error i am getting while importing this file:
    Missing mandatory field [ip_address] on header line:10.64.160.31,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60
    Assistance appreciated.

    It looks like the IP address field is incorrectly set.,
    It should be as follows
    {Device IP},{Device Subnet Mask}, etc etc
    so a practical example of the aboove could be (i dont know if this is completely correct after the IP address / Subnet Mask)
    10.64.160.31,255.255.255.0,v2c,2,10,snmpcomm,ssh,zeus,password,password,enablepwd,enablepwd,60

  • How to import an .csv file into the database?

    and can we code the program in JSP to import the.csv file into the database.

    It is better to use Java class to read the CSV file and store the contents in the database.
    You can use JSP to upload the CSV file to the server if you want, but don't use it to perform database operations.
    JSPs are good for displaying information on the front-end, and for displaying HTML forms, there are other technologies more suitable for the middle layer, back end and the database layer.
    So break you application into
    1) Front end - JSPs to display input html forms and to display data retrieved from the database.
    2) Middle layer - Servlets and JavaBeans to interact with JSPs. The code that reads the CSV file to parse it's contents should be a Java Class in the middle layer. It makes use of Java File I/O
    3) Database layer - Connects to the database using JDBC (Java Database Connectivity), and then writes to the database with SQL insert statements.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Keeping the above concepts in mind, first build a simple JSP and get it to work,
    then research on Google , for Java File I/O , discover how to read a file,
    Then search on how to readh a CSV file using Java.
    After researching you should be able to read the CSV file line by line and store each line inside a Collection.
    Then research on Google, on how to write to the database using JDBC
    Write a simple program that inserts something to a dummy table in the database.
    Then, read the data stored in the Collection, and write insert statements for each records in the collection.

  • How to use a .csv file as a database ?

    Hi everyone,
    I have a .csv file and I need to update some values in a column based on some condition. Basically I want to use the .csv file as a database such that I can perform query on it and update the result set as required.
    I am having trouble using csvjdbc though, can anyone give me a simple example about how to build a new database and import the csv file into it? Many thanks!!
    By the way, I tried a small program which was found online:
    import java.sql.*;
    public class test {
    public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception{
    Class.forName("org.relique.jdbc.csv.CsvDriver");
    System.out.println("I'm ok!");

    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.relique.jdbc.csv.CsvDriver

    It's because Class.forName will throw ClassNotFoundException if it cannot locate the class file. You need to set classpath so that org.relique.jdbc.csv.CsvDriver class can be located by ur code.

  • Need help with query from .csv file

    I am trying to import a csv file with only 1 column in it.
    The column will only contain a 9 digit ID number. I want to read
    the file then use the contents to query a table to get the names
    and other information and display it. Here is what I have so far:
    <cffile action="read" file="#form.FiletoUpload#"
    variable="csvfile">
    <cfloop index="index" list="#csvfile#">
    <cfquery name="massimport" datasource="data1">
    SELECT * FROM IDTable
    WHERE CardNumber = ('#csvfile#')
    </cfquery>
    </cfloop>
    <cfoutput>#Name# #ID# #Site#</cfoutput>
    I get no errors but I am not getting any results. Just a
    blank page. Does anyone know how to query directly from a csv
    import? Thanks.

    You need to convert your file to a list somehow. Not sure if
    this is the most efficient way but, you can use the cfhttp tag to
    produce a query. Then your where clause becomes,
    where cardnumber in (#quotedvaluelist(query.column)#)
    and you won't need a loop.

  • How to add a CSV file to a desktop application and access it?

    The best place to put application data is probably user.home, as described in the [Store Application Settings and Components|http://sdnshare.sun.com/view.jsp?id=2305] post at SDNShare.

  • How to read/write .CSV file into CLOB column in a table of Oracle 10g

    I have a requirement which is nothing but a table has two column
    create table emp_data (empid number, report clob)
    Here REPORT column is CLOB data type which used to load the data from the .csv file.
    The requirement here is
    1) How to load data from .CSV file into CLOB column along with empid using DBMS_lob utility
    2) How to read report columns which should return all the columns present in the .CSV file (dynamically because every csv file may have different number of columns) along with the primariy key empid).
    eg: empid report_field1 report_field2
    1 x y
    Any help would be appreciated.

    If I understand you right, you want each row in your table to contain an emp_id and the complete text of a multi-record .csv file.
    It's not clear how you relate emp_id to the appropriate file to be read. Is the emp_id stored in the csv file?
    To read the file, you can use functions from [UTL_FILE|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/u_file.htm#BABGGEDF] (as long as the file is in a directory accessible to the Oracle server):

        end loop;
        insert into report_table (emp_id, report)
        values (l_emp_id, lt_report_clob);
        -- free the temporary lob
        dbms_lob.freetemporary(lt_report_clob);
       -- close the file
       UTL_FILE.fclose(l_infile);
    end;This simple line-by-line approach is easy to understand, and gives you an opportunity (if you want) to take each line in the file and transform it (for example, you could transform it into a nested table, or into XML). However it can be rather slow if there are many records in the csv file - the lob_append operation is not particularly efficient. I was able to improve the efficiency by caching the lines in a VARCHAR2 up to a maximum cache size, and only then appending to the LOB - see [three posts on my blog|http://preferisco.blogspot.com/search/label/lob].
    There is at least one other possibility:
    - you could use [DBMS_LOB.loadclobfromfile|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14258/d_lob.htm#i998978]. I've not tried this before myself, but I think the procedure is described [here in the 9i docs|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96591/adl12bfl.htm#879711]. This is likely to be faster than UTL_FILE (because it is all happening in the underlying DBMS_LOB package, possibly in a native way).
    That's all for now. I haven't yet answered your question on how to report data back out of the CLOB. I would like to know how you associate employees with files; what happens if there is > 1 file per employee, etc.
