Reading a flat file into Oracle

You can use SQL*Loader
or programmatically with UTL_FILE package.
(Please see documentation of SQL*Loader
and using predefine package UTL_FILE)

How to read\write text file into oracle database.

Hello,
I am having text file called getInfo in c:\temp folder. I would like to populate data from text file to data base. How to proceed. Could anybody help me out.
Thanks,
Shailu

Here is a web page with easy to follow instructions regarding external files: http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/ora/misc/ext_table.html.
Now I understand what all the excitement is over external tables.
"External tables can read flat files (that follow some rules) as though they were ordinary (although read-only) Oracle tables. Therefore, it is convenient to use external tables to load flat files into the DB." -from the above link.

How to read a flat file from the batch

Hi,
We have a requirement to read a flat file in the custom java batch in ETM2.2. We have the file at a specific location.
can some one let me know what are the various options, we have to read a flat file.
Thanks,
Sharath Kumar G.

Is it referring to some "Process X" batch?
And why MPL/XAI with or without Configuration Tools should not be used to do this and a custom Java batch is required?

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):
declare
    lt_report_clob CLOB;
    l_max_line_length integer := 1024;   -- set as high as the longest line in your file
    l_infile UTL_FILE.file_type;
    l_buffer varchar2(1024);
    l_emp_id report_table.emp_id%type := 123; -- not clear where emp_id comes from
    l_filename varchar2(200) := 'my_file_name.csv';   -- get this from somewhere
begin
   -- open the file; we assume an Oracle directory has already been created
    l_infile := utl_file.fopen('CSV_DIRECTORY', l_filename, 'r', l_max_line_length);
    -- initialise the empty clob
    dbms_lob.createtemporary(lt_report_clob, TRUE, DBMS_LOB.session);
    loop
      begin
         utl_file.get_line(l_infile, l_buffer);
         dbms_lob.append(lt_report_clob, l_buffer);
      exception
         when no_data_found then
             exit;
      end;
    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.
HTH
Regards Nigel
Edited by: nthomas on Mar 2, 2009 11:22 AM - don't forget to fclose the file...

How to load a flat file into BW-BPS using Web Browser

Hello, i have a problem with the "How to do Paper". I want to upload a Excel CSV file , but the paper only describes a txt file Uplaod. Does anybody can help me ?Thanks !

You need to parse the line coming in from the flat file...
You can do this with generic types in your flat file structure (string).
Then you loop through the table of strings that is your flat file and parse the string so that it breaks up the line for each comma. There is an ABAP command called: SPLIT - syntax is as follows:
SPLIT dobj AT sep INTO
{ {result1 result2 ...} | {TABLE result_tab} }
[IN {BYTE|CHARACTER} MODE].

How to dump a flat file into database?

hi guys,
I am new to jdbc. I am trying to transfer some data from flat file to database. What I can think of now is to create an array that is big enough to hold the entire file, dump the content of file in it and then store the array of data into database using insert statement. But this seems to be memory consuming especially when the file is very large. So could anyone tell me a more efficient way of doing that? thanks a lot.

How to read the CSV Files into Database Table

Hi
Friends i have a Table called tblstudent this has the following fields Student ID, StudentName ,Class,Father_Name, Mother_Name.
Now i have a CSV File with 1500 records with all These Fields. Now in my Program there is a need for me to read all these Records into this Table tblstudent.
Note: I have got already 2000 records in the Table tblstudent now i would like to read all these CSV File records into the Table tblstudent.
Please give me some examples to do this
Thank your for your service
Cheers
Jofin

1) Read the CSV file line by line using BufferedReader.
2) Convert each line (record) to a List and add it to a parent List. If you know the columns before, you might use a List of DTO's.
3) Finally save the two-dimensional List or the List of DTO's into the datatable using plain JDBC or any kind of ORM (Hibernate and so on).
This article contains some useful code snippets to parse a CSV: http://balusc.xs4all.nl/srv/dev-jep-csv.html

Im a newbie with arrays, just started really using them.. please bear with me if I don't seem to understand much..
I have a .txt file that contains either a square or rectangle (random width and length).. How can I read each line into a Java class into a 2D array with rows and columns?

                BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));

                twoDimesionArray = new char [array.size()][];
                //Convert array from ArrayList to 2D array
                for (int i = 0; i < array.size(); i++)
