Importing data into an existing table from excel problem

Hopefully I am posting this in the right place..
I am having trouble importing data from Excel into an oracle table using the 'import data' wizard in SQL developer.
The problem is that the I want to import data into a table which all ready has data and I want the new data to be imported into the first row of the table not in a new row at the end of the table.
This is probably best shown by example:
create table todelete (
     site_no varchar2(2),
     data1 number,
     qa number);
insert into todelete values ('w1',1,null);
insert into todelete values ('w1',2, null);
insert into todelete values ('w1',3,null);
Now I want to import the following data from excel into the QA column starting at w1:
SITE_NO
QA
w1
4
w2
4
w3
4
However, when I import the QA column it goes into a new row:
SITE_NO
DATA1
QA
w1
1
NULL
w2
2
NULL
w3
3
NULL
NULL
NULL
4
NULL
NULL
4
NULL
NULL
4

The problem is that the I want to import data into a table which all ready has data and I want the new data to be imported into the first row of the table not in a new row at the end of the table.
No - the PROBLEM is that a table does NOT have a 'first' row or a 'row at the end of the table'.
Rows in a table are like balls in a basket; there is NO 'first' ball.
As already suggested please mark this thread ANSWERED and repost it in the sql developer forum where it belongs.

  • How to import data into a Z table from excel file?

    hi,
    i have a custom created Z table into which i want to import some data from an excel file. which function can i use to do so because SE16 allows me to insert data only one by one via a data entry screen. this is time consuming. i want to import data from excel file so that its faster.

    HI,
    this program uploads data from excel and modifies ztable,(inserts records into ztable), check this and modify according to ur requirement)

    Are you attempting to import into a newly made table or into an existing table? It looks like it's trying to insert data where it cannot be inserted (invalid column or lack of data size in your column).
    Try the following:
    1). In your excel sheet, highlight the whole sheet and make sure the cells are in 'text' form and try re-importing
    2). save the document as ms dos TEXT and import as a text document.
    3). double check your columns are correct for the data, for example if you have a column that has a string of 100 characters and your column is 'NvarChar(90)' - that might cause the error? Or just correct data type in your column
    3). If that doesn't work and you're inserting into a new table, try importing it as string first and writing a query to insert columns that should be float/integer or whatever. You may want to convert float texts to a 'bigint' first rather than string
    > float as that can cause problems if I remember correctly.

  • Insert data into a database table from a string

    Hi,
    I am need to insert data into a table from  the text file. I pull the data into an internal table using GUI_UPLoad. I read the data into an internal table and concatenate data into a string. I need to do this because the structure of the table is dynamic. it is used to upload a series of tables each with different structure, But the data is stored in the string v_tabledata.  How to do that.
    after uploading the data  from the textt file into a table
    oop at i_final.
       v_tabname = i_final-table_name.
      concatenate i_final-table_rec1 i_final-table_rec2 i_final-table_rec3
                  i_final-table_rec4 i_final-table_rec5 into v_tabledata.
    from  'v_table data'  i need to upload the data into a table and the structue of the table is known dynamically. Any thoughts using field symbols?
    Thanks,
    VG

    Let me see if I've understood your issue
    You have a file to be uploaded into an internal table but this file has many different layouts and then you don't know how to link these fields with the internal table...is it your issue?
    Then you've read the internal table, you've sent it to a string divided by space or something else and then are you trying to read this string to send it to a table?
    We could read the standard tables which maintain the program names, table names etc... (DD* tables, as the DD03L table) and then create some rules...
    We could create a parameter table to read your file/table dynamically...
    Please, try to rewrite in other words your problem...because there are a lot of ways to achieve your issue...

  • Import Data/Populate fields in pdf from Excel

    I'm not sure if I am using the correct terms, but I would like to set up text fields in a pdf that can import data from specific fields in an excel file.  I found the import data form in the properties of the text field, but it will only allow me to select pdf files.  Is it possible to import data an excel file to a text field?  I would like to do the following
    1. create a excel table that includes kids last name, first name, and Grades (Q1, Q2, E1, S1 etc...)
    2. I have a pdf form that already has text fields that correspond to the fields mentioned above.
    3. Set up the pdf to import the data and generate a page for each student.
    I specifically mentioned excel because everyone at my school has excel.  However, it would also work if I could design another pdf with a table that I could import data from.

    Something like this?
    // Import the first row of data from "myData.txt".
    this.importTextData("/c/desktop/myData.txt", 0)
    if (typeof cnt == "undefined") cnt = 0;
    this.importTextData("/c/desktop/textdata.txt", cnt++ % 4)
    // Specify the name of the template
    var template_name = "Student Information Sheet";
    // Get a reference to the template
    var t = getTemplate(template_name);
    // Add a new page based on the template
    if (t !== null) {
        t.spawn({
        nPage: numPages,      // Add the new page to end of document
        bOverlay: false,      // Create a new page, not an overlay
        bRename: true         // Rename the fields
    } else {
       app.alert("The template named \'" + template_name + " does not exist in this document.", 1);
    But how would I tell the new page to take the second row from the chart, and will I have to click the button for each one of the fields in the data?

    you'll need a bit of Java code... extract the data during a check-in filter, and insert it into the database.
    check out the "DataAccess" component in the HowToComponents for query-running examples, and the "DynamicPrefix" component for a check-in filter example.

  • Insert Data into a PK Table from a Non-PK Table

    Suppose I have a Table A with 10 columns in Schema 1 and there are 100 records in it. Now I create a Table B with the same 10 columns but create 4 columns as Primary Key in another Schema 2. I want to Insert the data from Table A into Table B but the 100 rows of data have duplicate entries of Primary Key and so I get Primary Key constraint violation. I want to know whether I will be able to Insert data by a quey and if so how?

    Tried to simulate ur scenario in my environment...check the insert statement...you can implement it to get ur solution.
    Here it goes:
    SQL> desc testt; <table u want to insert from,this has no pk>
    Name Null? Type
    DEPTNO NUMBER
    JOB VARCHAR2(10)
    SQL> desc testt_t;<table to be loaded,table with pk>
    Name Null? Type
    DEPTNO NOT NULL NUMBER
    JOB VARCHAR2(10)
    SQL> select * from testt;
    DEPTNO JOB
    10 aaa
    11 bbb
    12 ccc
    10 aaa
    11 bbb
    12 ccc
    10 aaa
    7 rows selected.
    SQL> select * from testt_t;
    no rows selected
    SQL> insert into testt_t (select t1.deptno,t1.job from testt t1 where t1.rowid =(select min(t2.rowid
    ) from testt t2 where t1.DEPTNO=t2.DEPTNO and t1.JOB=t2.job));
    3 rows created.

  • Field-Symbols: How to retrieve data into an internal table from FS

    Hello All,
    I am working on field symbols.I have declared the field symbols as shown.
    FIELD-SYMBOLS: <gt_pos_data>  TYPE table,
                               <wa_pos_data> like <gt_pos_data>.
    Data: Begin of itab occurs 0,
               field1(5) type c,
               field2(10)_type c,
             end of itab.
    The FS  <gt_pos_data> has 100 fields but I need to move only two fields from this FS to my internal table itab.I am doing the following.
    loop at <gt_pos_data> assigning <wa_pos_data>.
    itab-field1 = <wa_pos_data>-field1.
    itab-field2 = <wa_pos_data>-field2.
    append itab.
    clear itab.
    endloop.
    But it is giving me an error saying "<wa_pos_data> is a table without header line and therefore has no componet FIELD1".How to achieve this requirement?
    Thanks in advance
    Sandeep

    <wa_pos_data> should be defined LIKE LINE OF <gt_pos_data>, but it will still have no structure, so you need to assign a field symbol to the component as well.
    FIELD-SYMBOLS: <gt_pos_data> TYPE table,
                               <wa_pos_data> like LINE OF <gt_pos_data>,
                               <field> type any.
    Data: Begin of itab occurs 0,
    field1(5) type c,
    field2(10)_type c,
    end of itab.
    loop at <gt_pos_data> assigning <wa_pos_data>.
    assign componet 'FIELD1' of structure <wa_pos_data> to <field>.
    if sy-subrc  = 0.
    itab-field1 = <field>.
    endif.
    assign componet 'FIELD2' of structure <wa_pos_data> to <field>.
    if sy-subrc  = 0.
    itab-field2 = <field>.
    endif.
    append itab.
    clear itab.
    endloop.

  • Import data into oracle from a text file?

    hi guys,
    How can we import data into oracle9i release 1 from a text file with comma seperated or tab seperated delimeters?
    please help,
    Imran

    table is already created, just have to populate data into table through a dat or text file. As suggested, you would either:
    1). use SQL*Loader to load the data into this table.
    2). create external table on that data file and then do:
    INSERT INTO your_real_table
    SELECT * FROM that_external_table ;
