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!");
But I got an exception as following:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.relique.jdbc.csv.CsvDriver
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(URLClassLoader.java:200)
at java.security.AccessController.doPrivileged(Native Method)
at java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:188)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:306)
at sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader.loadClass(Launcher.java:268)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:251)
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClassInternal(ClassLoader.java:319)
at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:164)
at test.main(test.java:5)
Could anyone tell me how to fix it? Thanks.

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.

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.

Hi everyone!
The following are the steps to load a excell sheet to oracle table.i tried to be as simple as possible.
thanks
Step # 1
Prapare a data file (excel sheet) that would be uploaded to oracle table.
"Save As" a excel sheet to ".csv" (comma seperated values) format.
Then save as to " .dat " file.
e.g datafile.bat
1,Category Wise Consumption Summary,Expected Receipts Report
2,Category Wise Receipts Summary,Forecast Detail Report
3,Current Stock List Category Wise,Forecast rule listing
4,Daily Production Report,Freight carrier listing
5,Daily Transactions Report,Inventory Value Report
Step # 2
Prapare a control file that define the data file to be loaded ,columns seperation value,name and type of the table columns to which data is to be loaded.The control file extension should be " .ctl " !
e.g i want to load the data into tasks table ,from the datafile.dat file and having controlfile.ctl control file.
SQL> desc tasks;
Name Null? Type
TASK_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(14)
TASK_NAME VARCHAR2(120)
TASK_CODE VARCHAR2(120)
: controlfile.ctl
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'e:\datafile.dat'
INTO TABLE tasks
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
(TASK_ID INTEGER EXTERNAL,
TASK_NAME CHAR,
TASK_CODE CHAR)
The above is the structure for a control file.
Step # 3
the final step is to give the sqlldr command to execute the process.
sqlldr userid=scott/tiger@abc control=e:\controlfile.ctl log=e:\logfile.log

Hey, I couldnot find any xsl usage inside pipeline pair in the links given by you. Do you have any links that gives a sample example.I could not find any links with examples. I will send you a simple config jar demonstrating the use of XSLT resources/transformations.
secondly should MFL doc replicate the name(s)of the nodes of the source xsd:I'm not sure If I understood your question.Can you please explain?

How to load 100 CSV files of transcational data to DSO / InfoCube?

Hi,
you can achieve to write the .bat (batch file program in windows)
.bat program it will convert to xsl to .CSV format.
in process chain you can use the OS COMMAND option while creating process chain.
it will first trigger the bat file then it will trigger the excel files and info package.
now i am also working on same scenario now.

How to use a key file in the FTP Task using and SSL connection

In the past I have used this code to set the FTP pass word in an FTP component task in SSIS.
Does anyone know how to use a Key file in an SSL connection to download a file from an FTP site? If not can you tell me where I can get the C# code examples to learn how to create a script task or if there is another way in SSIS to download large files
from an SSL FTP site? Thank you for any help offered.
public void Main()
ConnectionManager FTPConn;
FTPConn = Dts.Connections["FTPServer"];
FTPConn.Properties["ServerPassword"].SetValue(FTPConn, Dts.Variables["FTPPassword"].Value);
Dts.TaskResult = (int)ScriptResults.Success;

You can use SFTP for this.
This is a way of implementing SFTP in SSIS using standard tasks

How to use my as3 file in flex

hi, I am new in flex and want to divert into flex. How to use my as3 file into flex. Is there any sample tutor . so, that I could learn fast.

Please clarify. Is this .as file a class you previously used as a complonentcomponent you now wish to use as the main application?
If the .as file just has variables and functions you wish to access from your Flex app, use:
include "subfolder1/subfolder2/etc/MyASFile.as";
If you want to use classes from the file, do this:
import subfolder1.subfolder2.etc.MyClassName;

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 insert a image file into oracle database

hi all
can anyone guide me how to insert a image file into oracle database now
i have created table using
create table imagestore(image blob);
but when inserting i totally lost don't know what to do how to write query to insert image file

Hi I don't have time to explain really, I did have to do this a while ago though so I will post a code snippet. This is using the commons file upload framework.
Firstly you need a multi part form data (if you are using a web page). If you are not using a web page ignore this bit.
out.println("<form name=\"imgFrm\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart/form-data\" action=\"FileUploadServlet?thisPageAction=reloaded\" onSubmit=\"return submitForm();\"><input type=\"FILE\" name=\"imgSource\" size='60' class='smalltext' onKeyPress='return stopUserInput();' onKeyUp='stopUserInput();' onKeyDown='stopUserInput();' onMouseDown='noMouseDown(event);'>");
out.println("   <input type='submit' name='submit' value='Submit' class='smalltext'>");
out.println("</form>"); Import this once you have the jar file:
import org.apache.commons.fileupload.*;Now a method I wrote to upload the file. I am not saying that this is correct, or its the best way to do this. I am just saying it works for me.
private boolean uploadFile(HttpServletRequest request, HttpSession session) throws Exception {
        boolean result = true;
        String fileName = null;
        byte fileData[] = null;
        String fileUploadError = null;
        String imageType = "";
        String error = "";
        DiskFileUpload fb = new DiskFileUpload();
        List fileItems = fb.parseRequest(request);
        Iterator it = fileItems.iterator();
        while(it.hasNext()){
            FileItem fileItem = (FileItem)it.next();
            if (!fileItem.isFormField()) {
                fileName = fileItem.getName();
                fileData = fileItem.get();
                // Get the imageType from the filename extension
                if (fileName != null) {
                    int dotPos = fileName.indexOf('.');
                    if (dotPos >= 0 && dotPos != fileName.length()-1) {
                        imageType = fileName.substring(dotPos+1).toLowerCase();
                        if (imageType.equals("jpg")) {
                            imageType = "jpeg";
        String filePath = request.getParameter("FILE_PATH");
        session.setAttribute("filePath", filePath);
        session.setAttribute("fileData", fileData);
        session.setAttribute("fileName", fileName);
        session.setAttribute("imageType", imageType);
        return result;
     } And now finally the method to actually write the file to the database:
private int writeImageFile(byte[] fileData, String fileName, String imageType, String mode, Integer signatureIDIn, HttpServletRequest request) throws Exception {
        //If the previous code found a file that can be uploaded then
        //save it into the database via a pstmt
        String sql = "";
        UtilDBquery udbq = getUser(request).connectToDatabase();
        Connection con = null;
        int signatureID = 0;
        PreparedStatement pstmt = null;
        try {
            udbq.setUsePreparedStatements(true);
            con = udbq.getPooledConnection();
            con.setAutoCommit(false);
            if((!mode.equals("U")) || (mode.equals("U") && signatureIDIn == 0)) {
                sql = "SELECT SEQ_SIGNATURE_ID.nextval FROM DUAL";
                pstmt = con.prepareStatement(sql);
                ResultSet rs = pstmt.executeQuery();
                while(rs.next()) {
                   signatureID = rs.getInt(1);

Csv file uploading for database table creation

Hi there,
I'm in the process of making an application that will be able to upload a csv file and create a table based on the same file. As of now, I have managed to make my application upload a csv file into the database. My problem now is to transfer the data in the csv into a table. If there is a function that can do this, please let me know. But as of now, I have tried all that I can but in vain. I would appreciate any assistance rendered as to how I can go about this.
Kind regards,
Lusuntha

How I can store Image file in a database

Can any one how i can stored image file in a database and then by using same database how i can show in HTML page...(in a browser)

This is not something that can be answered easily. There is quite alot of code involved....
To get started I suggest you read up on the built-in package 'DBMS_LOB' from Oracle . Most of what you need you should find there.
