How to spool CSV file

Hi,
I want to spool a csv file from unix.. I have a shell script where im calling the .sql file in returns it select the data from the table and spool it to CSV..
THe problem i have here when i spool it , it is not comming in the right format..
for ex :
set head on;
set feed off;
set trimspool on;
set linesize 32627;
set pagesize 32627;
set echo off;
set termout on;
O/p is like
empid ename sal mgr
1234 xysss 2323232 wewew
Can anyone please help me out...

Hi,
When posting formatted text (such as your output) on this site, type these 6 characters:
\(small letters only, inside curly brackets) before and after each section of formatted text, to preserve spacing.
What's wrong with the current output?
What is the correct output you want?
A lot of folks concatenate all their output into one big string column for CSV output.
That is, instead of:SELECT     empid
,     ename
,     hiredate
,     sal
they say:SELECT     empid
|| ',' || ename
|| ',' || TO_CHAR (hiredate, 'DD-MON-YYYY')
|| ',' || sal
Most of the time, NUMBER columns don't require special formatting, but DATEs often do.

Actually I read some already answered posts. But still I have some doubts.
Can anybody please send me the code.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Priya,
Check this code
Yhe logic used here is as follows,
Get all the data into an internal table in the simple format ie: a row with one field contains an entire line
After getting the data, we split each line of the table on every occurrence of the delimiter (comma in your case)
Here, I have named the fields as field01, field02 etc, you could use your own names according to your requirement
parameters: p_file(512).

How to save CSV file in application server while making infospoke

How to save CSV file in application server to be used as destination while making infospoke.
Please give the steps.........

Hi
If you want to load your flatfile from Application server,then you need to trasfer your file from your desktop(Computer) to Application server by using FTP.
Try using ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER Function module.
You Just need to give thesource path and the target path
goto SE37 t-code , which is Function module screen, give the function name ARCHIVFILE_CLIENT_TO_SERVER, on click F8 Execute button.
for path variable give the file path where it resides like C:\users\xxx\desktop\test.csv
for target path give the directory path on Application server: /data/bi_data
remember the directory in Server starts with /.
U have to where to place the file.
Otherwise use 3rd party tools to connect to ur appl server like : Core FTP and Absolute FTP in google.
Otherwise...
Goto the T.code AL11. From there, you can find the directories available in the Application Server.
For example, if you wanna save the file in the directory "DIR_HOME", then you can find the path of the directories in the nearby column. With the help of this, you can specify the target path. Specify the target path with directory name followed by the filename with .CSV extension.
Hope this helps

How to upload CSV file w/o ,, for the last line

Hi Experts,
As part of one interface uploading the csv file (4coulmns) manually using the TCODE: CSCA_FILE_COPY.
After uploading when i see in the AL11 as it is csv file it is filling the , in each space.
But my issue while running the interface (because of logic in it) checking for the hash total in the last line where (record count, hash total) only 2 items should come but because of manual upload adding the (record count, hash total, , ,) another two spaces.
Where program not moving further becasue the it is alway comparing the amounts (1000.00 not matching with 1000.00, , ) it is not processing. In production files directly load in to unix server so no issues and i can't ask to change the program code...because iam not following the process. As part of testing i've to do manually only.
Please suggest the workaround for this.
Is it possible to change the contents directly in AL11 directly....then HOW ?
or
How to create a csv file w/o , , in the last line (may be it is not possible) ?
Thanks for your replies in advance.
Regards
VVR

I don't think you can edit from AL11, nor creating a CSV without those commas at the end because are created to state fields with empty value.
You have 6 columns filled with values but for the last line you only fill the first four. It is expected to appear , , for the last 2 columns on the last line.
I can only suggest keep doing it manually before uploading the CSV file... or... you are saying you can't change the program.
How about upload all CSV files... then writing another program to get those files from AL11 and delete the spare commas at the end line?
Cheers,
Andres.

How to load csv file in oracle table

Hi,
i have csv files to which i want to load the csv file data and table structure in oracle. my csv files on the window machine but database is runing on ibm aix.so how to do it please any one can help me about. thanks a lot in advance
i know th syntax below
$sqlldr userid=username/password control=<filename> log=<log filename>

Hello,
Yes, with SQL*Loader you can do it.
But first you have to create a Table into your database with columns and datatype matching
the content of you "csv" file.
Then, you'll have to prepare a control file and use the option fields terminated by "," as it's
a "csv" format.
Then, you could execute your statement.
Please, find enclosed a link with some example about SQL*Loader and "csv" file:
[http://www.orafaq.com/wiki/SQL*Loader_FAQ]
Hope this help.

How to use csv files in OWB

Hi Experts
I have one UNIX server and i my user is putting the csv files on windows machine. I want
1. If User put some new csv file in windows machine it should automatically reflect in UNIX machine.
2. If user enter some data in windows csv files then it should be reflect in UNIX csv files automatically
3. Now I want to connect my OWB with these UNIX csv fils. my csv files are in /home/oracle.source directory.
Regards
Frnd

Let me give an insight of how it works for me:
1. A CSV file is created in unix at a specified location.
2. Using ULTRAEDIT software(installed on windows client) FTP is configured to access the unix server.
3. Open the file stored in unix through ULTRAEDIT from windows.
4. MAKE changes to the file from ultraedit in windows.
5. SAVE it and close ULTRAEDIT.
The changes will be automatically reflected in unix without having the need to FTP it.
OWB accesses the CSV file from unix and does further processing.
Not sure if OPs can do this but this is probably the easiest way of achieving what he wants and this approach works very well for me.

How to convert csv files into java bean objects?

Hi,
I have a CSV file, I want to store the data availabale in that csv file into java bean, I am new to this csv files how can I convert CSV files into java beans.
Please help me.
Adavanced Thanks,
Mahendra

You can use the java.io API to read (and write) files. Use BufferedReader to read the CSV file line by line. Use String#split() to split each line into an array of parts which were separated by comma (or semicolon). If necessary run some escaping of quotes. Finally collect all parts in a two-dimensional List of Strings or a List of Javabeans.

Anyone know how to upload csv file to temp table of sybase DB from java?

Dear All,
I blindly need your help in achieving the following:
I have the csv file which contains OrdId and BillId values. I just wanted to read these two values one by one from excel and loaded them into one temp table of Sybase SQL Anywhere.
here is the sample query for your reference:
begin tran
create table tempdb..ordBill (ord_id int identity,bill_id int
go
load table tempdb..ordBill from 'c:\\test\\test.csv'Error:
Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'table'.
I am having only one tool Microsoft ISQL/W from which i connect to remote sybase DB and run some queries like sp_help , create etc.. from there.
It would be great,if somebody knows the way of doing the above thru some java program. Otherwise, is there any tool like BCP required to do the above?
Awaiting for your valuable reply
thanks

How to send csv file as an attachment

Hi,
I am able to create a csv file in this directory as "test.scv" using utl_file and some select statements.
Now I need to send this csv file as an attachment in email.
we have smtp installed on our server.
Please help me on this .
Thanks
Kind Regards

The first link takes in a filename (this would be the csv file you have already created) so nothing should be hard coded; it's just the parameters you pass in.
Doing a little more research (from the asktom article I posted previously) links to this [http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/pl_sql/htdocs/Utl_Smtp_Sample.html] which the real gold is at [http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/pl_sql/htdocs/maildemo_sql.txt]:
with examples how to use it at [http://www.oracle.com/technology/sample_code/tech/pl_sql/htdocs/mailexample_sql.txt].
To get the attachments working from a PL/sql application you will require one of the packages or a large amount of code.
here's the coded example for attaching files from the packages listed in maildemo_sql.txt from Oracle's website
