Import from Excel to Oracle table

I have couple questions.
is the 20K Excel file upload limit still apply???
I want to use APEX to upload data from Excel to Oracle, some data manipulation will be needed in the process.
This will be a utility that will be used by users not DBAs or Developers.
It would great if someone has an example application.
or do you think I should use different tool???
Thanks

Upload data from excel to oracle table

Hi,
if i'm user and using an application and i want to upload data from excel to oracle table on button click . Is it possible by using sql loader.
If yes then please clarify it .
is it possible from client end.
thanks
kam

Yes it is possible using SQL*LDR, External tables and ORCL Export Utility. Though I didn't try Export Utility to load the external files.
SQLLdr sysntax:
Create a control file.
It looks like this
Load data
Infile 'source.dat'
Into Table tablename
Fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"'
{code}
then use sqlldr command from your OS.
{code}
sqlldr userid/password@sid control = filename.ctl, data = source.dat, log = logname.log, bad = badname.log, discard = discardname.discard
{code}

SQL Developer: import from Excel bug

SQL Developer 1.1.2.25 Build MAIN 25.79
This is a test for import from Excel.
Test table:
create table bla
(x number null,
y varchar2(1) null);
Excel data:
x y
1 a
2 b
3
SQL Deveoper generates:
Error at line 3:insert into BLA (X,Y) VALUES(3,'NULL')
IMPORT into table BLAcomplete
Inserted 2rows.
Failed to insert 1rows.
SQL Error:ORA-12899: value too large for column "BCRCEK"."BLA"."Y" (actual: 4, maximum: 1)
I think there is a bug, because there must be generated NULL without apostrophe.
insert into BLA (X,Y) VALUES(3,NULL);

Hi Barry,
   That's[b] GREAT NEWS !!!.
   So, i just update current release 1.1.2.25 to 1.1.2.25.79 ?
Thanks for the great work.
Zack
Oops !!! Am already using 1.1.2.25.79, same as bcrcek above. So need to wait for Patch Release ?

Can someone help me change the line width of my numbers table, its not set to thin or none and its stuck on .25. its a spreadsheet i imported from excel.

Can someone help me change the line width of my numbers table, its not set to thin or none and its stuck on pt25. its a spreadsheet i imported from excel.

MR,
Apparently the import wasn't a good one.
The best option at this point might be to start a new table. Insert a new Table, Copy the old table cell range, select the first cell in the new table and Edit > Paste and Match Style. This will throw out all the old formatting. A bit of work, but a nice clean start.

Data from Excel to ADF table

Hi,
I need to export data from excel to ADF table and edit the data and finally send it back to database.
Would you kindly let me know how to proceed in this?
Many thanks in advance
Regards

This depends on your excel file structure.
You can use ADF Desktop Integration or
something like this(for simple excel files):
for excel -> adf table

Data from Excel to Oracle DB

Hi,
I can upload data from excel to access having created stored procedure on access.
I do the upload using my vb code.
How can I upload data from excel to oracle db? could i use the same technique as above? only problem is im not sure if that vb code will work with oracle?
has anyone done this before? anyone have example code?
kindly assist me here
thanks

The easiest way to do this is to use a Oracle ODBC connection which can be found on OTN. You do not need a stored proc.
After installing Oracle ODBC on the machine where Excel and Access live, do the following.
Note, you already have steps 1, 2 and 3. I list all the steps for others.
1. Create your MS/Excel workbook
2. Add data to it.
3. Save it as "book1.xls".
4. Open MS/Access
5. Create new blank database, call it db1.
6. Then from the file menu, get external data, import, make sure the file type is xls, select book1.xls.
7. The wizard will walk you through the process of importing you Excel workbook into a new table.
8. Save
9. From the file menu select export table.
10. Select ODBC at the bottom of the "Save as type list".
11. Then (depending how you set up ODBC) select Machine Data Source.
12 . Select your Oracle ODBC connection and press OK.
You now have taken data from Excel to Access and placed it in the Oracle schema that was named when you setup your Oracle ODBC connection.

Can the uses import from excel?

Apex comes with a neat feature to import from excel. As far as I can see this is meant as a developer tool, to help migrate from excel to apex. Can this feature be provided to the users inside an application? I would like for the users to be able to insert rows into a predefined table based on their excel sheets. Similar to the import feature they should be able to just cut'n paste from excel into a text area, click next and then get a neat display of the data they are about to insert (just like in the tool->data load/unload tool).

Hello,
The following - http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=38131:1- is an example, by Vikas, for doing just what you are asking for. You can download the source code and adapt it to your specific needs.

Issues with importing from excel

I have been running into a several issues with importing from Excel.
First my configuration
I am running SQL Developer ver 1.5.5 Build MAIN-5969
I am on a Windows XP Professional Version 2002 with Service Pack 3
I am importing into an Oracle 10g database.
1. SQL Developer doesn't work on Excel 2007, I have to save all my files into Excel 97-2003 format before I can use them.
2. If I run into an error loading and stop the process, SQL Developer doesn't release the Excel file and I get a sharing violation if I try to save the spreadsheet without closing SQL Developer.
3. I have found that I have to set print area to the area I want to work with, otherwise the import wizard tries to keep adding rows.
4. When using the Import wizard, it keeps adding commas on fields with numerics unless I specify the column in excel as text. Currently the column is formatted as General in the spreadsheet or I can change the wizard format to say the column is an integer, but it actually is just a code field with numeric characters so it may have leading zeroes that I need to keep.
This might be related,
I have a column in excel defined as text but only contains numerics. It is of length 4, but the wizard sets a precision of 5 with a datatype of VARCHAR2. If I try to change it to 4, I get an error saying the field is not large enough. Yet, when I do a LEN on the column, it only gives me a 4. I have other fields in the same sheet that a 3 position numeric and 2 position numeric and those are fine. I am thinking this is related to the comma being inserted in a numeric field for anything greater than 3 positions.
5. Importing excel dates to oracle dates doesn't work. I have to convert the excel date column to text then import as a VARCHAR, then convert to Date once in the database.
6. The default of nullible is not set on any columns and I have to set them before the import. (I would prefer it set to nullible and I have to uncheck the box to make it not nullible. I would prefer to import all of the data and then deal with the nulls after they have been pulled in)
7. When I select header columns included it uses that as the column names. Is it possible to do the name length check then? It has bit me a few times where I try to import and forget to check the name length and then I get an error when I start running the import.
8. If one of the columns to import has all nulls, then the precision comes out to 0 and if it isn't changed an error occurs on import. Could this situation default to a precision of 1?
9. It would be nice if there was a completion message displayed and a cancel option while running.

On point 3.
I have a column in excel that consists of numbers. 4 digit numeric codes. Ex, 1111, 2345, etc
The column's format is general. It displays as just 4 numbers.
When I start the wizard initially, the column appears with data as 1,111, 2,345, etc, on the Data Preview screen.
It determines the precision to be 5 on the column definition screen.
If I change the precision to 4 then continue, that field will error out when I verify with "not big enough to hold the data in source columns"
If, I change the excel column to a TEXT column.
Excel still displays as 1111, 2345, etc
The wizard then displays the same data 1111, 2345 on the Data Previeiw screen
Yet, when I get to the column definition screen it still sizes it as a 5
If I change it to a 4, I get the same error when verifying.
If I leave them alone as 5, then it processes just fine.

Web Form Import From Excel Error

Hi all,
I've an issue regarding the import from Excel function in HFM (9.3.1) web forms.
First of all I export in Excel a form, I input data in yellow cells and then I save the file (I don't change the file extencion that remains xls).
Finally I try to import the modified form by using Import from Excel function.
Once the system finish to load shows me a windows saying that "The data have been saved to the DB" (or something similar) but when I open the web form there are no data.
I've checked carefully the POV and it's the same and I'm using an administrative user.
What can I try to do to fix this issue?? Am i doing something wrong?
Thanks in advance
Giacomo

We submitted a bug report about this in May, 2009.
Bug.7381401--- DATA'S NOT GETTING UPDATED AFTER IMPORT WDEF FROM EXCEL 2007.
After updating from 9.3.1 to 9.3.3, the issue has been resolved. I would assume the bug detail is unpublished, which is unfortunate as this info would pop up in a search of the Oracle Support KB and help out others with the same issue.
