  • How to extract data from xml and insert into Oracle table

  • Best Practice to fetch SQL Server data and Insert into Oracle Tables

    Hello,
    I want to read sqlserver data everry half an hour and write into oracle tables ( in two different databases). What is the best practice for doing this?
    We do not have any database dblinks from oracle to sqlserver and vice versa.
    Any help is highly appreciable?
    Thanks

    Well, that's easy:
    use a TimerTask to do the following every half an hour:
    - open a connection to sql server
    - open two connections to the oracle databases
    - for each row you read from the sql server, do the inserts into the oracle databases
    - commit
    - close all connections

  • Read data from E$ table and insert into staging table

    Hi all,
    I am a new to ODI. I want your help in understanding how to read data from an "E$" table and insert into a staging table.
    Scenario:
    Two columns in a flat file, employee id and employee name, needs to be loaded into a datastore EMP+. A check constraint is added to allow data with employee names in upper case only to be loaded into the datastore. Check control is set to flow and static. Right click on the datastore, select control and then check. The rows that have violated the check constraint are kept in E$_EMP+ table.
    Problem:
    Issue is that I want to read the data from the E$_EMP+ table and transform the employee name into uppercase and move the corrected data from E$_EMP+ into EMP+. Please advise me on how to automatically handle "soft" exceptions in ODI.
    Thank you

    Hi Himanshu,
    I have tried the approach you suggested already. That works. However, the scenario I described was very basic. Based on the error logged into the E$_EMP table, I will have to design the interface to apply more business logic before the data is actually merged into the target table.
    Before the business logic is applied, I need to read each row from the E$EMP table first and I do not know how to read from E$EMP table.

    < unnecessary reference to personal blog removed by moderator >
    Here are the steps:
    1) First create a directory and grant read , write , execute to the user from where you want to access the flat files and load it.
    2) Write a generic function to load PIPE delimited flat files:
    CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION TABLE_LOAD ( p_table in varchar2,
    p_dir in varchar2 DEFAULT ‘YOUR_DIRECTORY_NAME’,
    P_FILENAME in varchar2,
    p_ignore_headerlines IN INTEGER DEFAULT 1,
    p_delimiter in varchar2 default ‘|’,
    p_optional_enclosed in varchar2 default ‘”‘ )
    return number
    is
    – FUNCTION TABLE_LOAD
    – PURPOSE: Load the flat files i.e. only text files to Oracle
    – tables.
    – This is a generic function which can be used for
    – importing any text flat files to oracle database.
    – PARAMETERS:
    – P_TABLE
    – Pass name of the table for which import has to be done.
    – P_DIR
    – Name of the directory where the file is been placed.
    – Note: The grant has to be given for the user to the directory
    – before executing the function
    – P_FILENAME
    – The name of the flat file(a text file)
    – P_IGNORE_HEADERLINES
    – By default we are passing 1 to skip the first line of the file
    – which are headers on the Flat files.
    – P_DELIMITER
    – Dafault “|” pipe is been passed.
    – P_OPTIONAL_ENCLOSED
    – Optionally enclosed by ‘ ” ‘ are been ignored.

    commit;
    RETURN L_ROWCOUNT;
    end TABLE_LOAD;
    Note: when you run the function then it will also modify the source flat file with timestamp , so that we can have the track like which file was loaded .
    3) Check if the user is having UTL_FILE privileges or not :
    SQL> SELECT OWNER,
    OBJECT_TYPE
    FROM ALL_OBJECTS
    WHERE OBJECT_NAME = ‘UTL_FILE’
    AND OWNER =<>;
    If the user is not having the privileges then grant “UTL_FILE” to user from SYS user:
    SQL> GRANT EXECUTE ON UTL_FILE TO <>;
    4) In the function I have used two tables like:
    import_hist table and badlog table to track the history of the load and another to check the bad log if it occurs while doing the load .
    Under the same user create an error log table to log the error out records while doing the import:
    SQL> CREATE TABLE badlog
    errm VARCHAR2(4000),
    data VARCHAR2(4000) ,
    error_date TIMESTAMP
    Under the same user create Load history table to log the details of the file and tables that are imported with a track of records loaded:
    SQL> create table IMPORT_HIST
    FILENAME varchar2(200),
    TABLE_NAME varchar2(200),
    NUM_OF_REC number,
    IMPORT_DATE DATE
    5) Finally run the PLSQL block and check if it is loading properly or not if not then check the badlog:
    Execute the PLSQL block to import the data from the USER:
    SQL> declare
    P_TABLE varchar2(200):=<>;
    P_DIR varchar2(200):=<>;
    P_FILENAME VARCHAR2(200):=<>;
    v_Return NUMBER;
    BEGIN
    v_Return := TABLE_LOAD(
    P_TABLE => P_TABLE,
    P_DIR => P_DIR,
    P_FILENAME => P_FILENAME,
    P_IGNORE_HEADERLINES => P_IGNORE_HEADERLINES,
    P_DELIMITER => P_DELIMITER,
    P_OPTIONAL_ENCLOSED => P_OPTIONAL_ENCLOSED
    DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(‘v_Return = ‘ || v_Return);
    end;
    6) Once the PLSQL block is been executed then check for any error log table and also the target table if the records are been successfully imported or not.

  • Fetch data from one table and insert into two tables in desired format

    I have similar to the following data in a table and it is not normalized. The groupID is being used to group two records of similar nature.
    DECLARE @OldDoc TABLE (oldDocID INT, groupID INT, deptID INT)
    INSERT INTO @OldDoc (oldDocID, groupID) VALUES (1, NULL, 111),(2,NULL,111),(3,1,111),(4,NULL,333),(5,1,222),(6,NULL,333),(7,2,222),(8,2,333),(9,NULL,111),(10,3,222),(11,NULL,333),(12,3,444)
    I need to process the data from the above table (@OldDoc) and write into two new tables (@NewDoc and @NewDocGroup) as follows.
    oldDocID should be stored as newDocID when inserting to @NewDoc table. Only records with groupID NULL and one record (first one) per group should be considered (For example, oldDocID 5 is not considered as 3 and 5 belong to the same groupID 1) for insertion. 
    DECLARE @NewDoc TABLE (newDocID INT)
    INSERT INTO @NewDoc (newDocID) VALUES (1),(2),(3),(4),(6),(7),(9),(10),(11)
    All records from @OldDoc should be considered for insertion into @NewDocGroup table. OldDocID is inserted as NewDocID and deptID is as-is. Instead of groupID, the ID of the first record in the 
    group should be considered as parentNewDocID (For example, 3 is considered as parentNewDocID for newDocID 5 as 3 and 5 belong to the same groupID in @OldDoc table) for the newDocID.
    DECLARE @NewDocGroup (newDocID INT, parentNewDocID INT, deptID INT)
    INSERT INTO @NewDocGroup (newDocID, parentNewDocID, deptID) VALUES (1,1,111),(2,2,111),(3,3,111),(4,4,333),(5,3,222),(6,6,333),(7,7,222),(8,7,333),(9,9,111),(10,10,222),(11,11,333),(12,10,444)
    How do I accomplish the above using SQL ? Thanks for the help.

    >> I have similar to the following data in a table and it is not normalized. The group_id is being used to group two records [sic] of similar nature. <<
    Rows are not records. Tables have to have a key by definition. You do not do math with identifiers, so they should not be numeric. Let's ignore that error for now. In short, you are posting garbage. If you had followed Forum Netiquette, would you have posted
    this? 
    CREATE TABLE Old_Documents
    (old_doc_id INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY, 
     group_id INTEGER, 
     dept_nbr INTEGER NOT NULL
       REFERENCES Departments (dept_nbr));
    INSERT INTO Old_Documents(old_doc_id, group_id, dept_nbr) 
    VALUES  (1, NULL, 111), 
    (2, NULL, 111), 
    (3, 1, 111), 
    (4, NULL, 333),

    >> I need to process the data from the above table (Old_Documents) and write into two new tables (New_Documents and New_Documents_Groups) as follows. <<
    Just like punch cards and mag tape data processing! Being old and being new are a status, not another kind of entity. But that is how mag tapes work. And you even use the verb "fetch" from tape files. This design flaw is called  attribute splitting.
    Do you have a Male_Personnel and Female_Personnel table? NO! It is just Personnel! 
    >> old_doc_id should be stored as new_doc_id when inserting to New_Documents table. Only records [sic] with group_id NULL and one record [sic] (first [sic; no ordering in a table] one) per group should be considered (For example, old_doc_id 5 is not considered
    as 3 and 5 belong to the same group_id =1) for insertion. <<
    Think about your punch card mindset. Why did you physically materialize that redundant New_Documents table? Let me answer that: this is how you work with punch cards! In SQL we use a VIEW:
    CREATE VIEW New_Documents (new_doc_id)
    AS 
    SELECT old_doc_id 
      FROM Old_Documents;
    >> All records [sic] from Old_Documents should be considered for insertion into New_Documents_Groups table. The old_doc_id is inserted as new_doc_id and dept_nbr is as-is. Instead of group_id, the ID [sic: which identifier??] of the first [sic: tables
    have no ordering like a deck of punch cards] record [sic] in the group should be considered as parent_new_doc_id (For example, 3 is considered as parent_new_doc_id for new_doc_id 5 as 3 and 5 belong to the same group_id in Old_Documents table) for the new_doc_id.
    <<
    Why not use 5 as the parent? My guess is that you are trying to form equivalence classes. See:

  • Fetch data from two tables and insert into one table

    I have similar to the following data in two tables (@Plant, @PlantDirector) and need to consolidate into one table (@PlantNew) as follows.
    DECLARE @Plant TABLE (PlantID INT, PlantName VARCHAR(100))
    INSERT INTO @Plant (PlantID, PlantName) VALUES (1, 'Name One'),(2, 'Name Two'),(3, 'Name Three'),(4, 'Name Four'),(5, 'Name Five'),(6, 'Name Six')
    Director data for the Plants exist in the following table. Assistant value 1 means Assistant Director and 0 means Director. 
    Data exists only for subset of plants and a Plant may have one or both roles.
    DECLARE @PlantDirector TABLE (PlantID INT, PlantDirectorID INT, Assistant bit)
    INSERT INTO @PlantDirector (PlantID, PlantDirectorID, Assistant) VALUES (2, 111, 1),(2, 222, 0),(4, 333, 0),(6,444,1)
    The above data needs to be inserted into one table (@PlantNew) as follows: 
    PlantID in @Plant table is IDENTITY value and needs to be inserted as-is into this table.
    PlantDirExists will get a value of 1 if at least one record exists in @PlantDirector table for a PlantID. PlantAssistantDirID and PlantDirID should be set to the corresponding PlantDirID or NULL appropriately depending on the data.
    DECLARE @PlantNew TABLE (PlantID INT, PlantName VARCHAR(100), PlantDirExists bit, PlantAssistantDirID INT, PlantDirID INT)

  • Link and insert into 2 tables

    Hi Everyone,
    I am building an application that that contains information about helpdesk calls. I am using 2 tables:

    USER_
    ASSIGNED_TO

    EDIT
    Table 2 contain date and time info - TRKCALLS_TIME
    ID - primary key
    CALL_ID - same number as ID in table 1
    DATE_
    TIME
    I have taken the advice that Denes Kubicek gave another poster and created a workspace at apex.oracle.com and places my app in there for others to look at
    workspace: kjwebb
    username: [email protected]
    password: gtmuc
    application: calltracking2
    I have a report called create/edit call tracking in there that I can either Edit or create an entry into TRK_CALLS. clicking create takes me to a form, after info is entered I have a create button that assigns the PK and inserts info into TRK_CALLS. I then have to click Edit Call Time button to input info on a form that inserts into TRKCALLS_TIME table. I would like to link these tables somehow so that when I go to the (Edit Call Time) form the Call ID is populated with the PK ID from the TRK_CALLS table.
    It would be easier to insert this info all in one page but I worked on that for a long time before giving up because I could not get anything to insert into the tables so I have taken this route.
    The basic desired outcome is to tie the tables with a PK, ID in table 1 and CALL_ID in table 2. So that they correspond and displayed on the report page.
    Please help in any way you can and make changes to my app.
    I would not be asking for help unless I have reached the ends of my apex knowledge.
    Thanks and please let me know if there are any questions,

    I can imagine it is pretty obscure when your knowledge of PL/SQL is not (yet) so big.
    The statement I wrote ar meant exactly for your situation.
    OK, here we go:
    First you have created a view in the Object Browser. Suppose it is called trkcalls_view .
    Then you go to SQL Workshop > SQL Commands.
    You cut the next statement and paste it in the upper white part of the screen, just under the autocommit checkbox. Replace the bold sequence references by the real name of the sequences that are used to populate the ID's of the two tables.
    You say Run and the trigger is created.
    A trigger on the view is created. Creation of such a trigger is not possible in the Object Browser, so I understand your confusion. This triggers performs when an insert in the view is performed. As you might see in the code, it creates seperate insert statements for both tables.
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER bi_trkcalls_view
    INSTEAD OF UPDATE ON trkcalls_view
    REFERENCING NEW AS NEW OLD AS OLD
    FOR EACH ROW

  • Can select, but cannot insert into oracle tables using php.

    I am having trouble inserting data into a tables in oracle using PHP. I can insert into the tables using baninst1, but nothing else. I can't even insert using the tables' owner. Every time I try I get the ORA-00492 error of table or view does not exist. However, I can run a select statement just fine. So far, baninst1 is the only user that can actually do inserts. I've triple checked all the table grants and everything is fine. Also, I can copy/paste the exact insert statement into SQL*Plus and it works with the correct user. It doesn't have to be baninst1. I've tried everything I can think of. I've tried putting the table name in quotes, adding the schema name to the table, checking public synonyms, but everything appears to be ok. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions others may have.
    I'm using PHP 5.2.3 with an oracle 9i DB.

    Here is the code that doesn't work. It works only with baninst1, no other username will work and all I do is change the my_username/my_password to something different. This is one example function where I try to do an insert, but it doesn't work on any of the tables I try.
    Thanks for looking.

    implicit datatype conversion to NUMBER can result in leading zero to be eliminated.

  • Extracting explanations from planning app and loading into Oracle table

    Hi All,
    I had a requirement where I had to extract data from a planning application through ODI 11g and load it into Oracle RDBMS.
    I used essbase as my source in technology (since planning data is stored on essbase side) and oracle as my target.
    Now the data is getting extracted from essbase side and is getting loaded into Oracle table through ODI.
    Now the client requires that they want to extract the explanations or text values also from planning application and load them into Oracle table.
    How this can be achieved?Is there a table on the sql side(since sql database is being used at back end for planning app) which stores the explanations,if yes please let me know which table it is.
    Kindly help me with this requirement.

    Hi,
    IKM SQL Control Append is perfect if you don't need incremental updates. If you need it, go for IKM Oracle Incremental Update (MERGE) or something like that.
