Invalid data format on EXPORTING table to SQL-FLAT FILE (Insert type)

Hi there!
Writing from Slovenia/Europe.
Working with ORACLE9i (standard version) on Windows XP with SQL-deloper 1.0.0.015.
FIRST SQL.-DEVELOPER IS GOOD TOOL WITH SOME MINOR ERRORS.
1.) Declare and Insert data EXAMPLE
drop table tst_date;
create table tst_date (fld_date date);
insert into tst_date values (sysdate);
insert into tst_date values (sysdate);
2.) Retriving date with SQLPLUS
SQL> select to_char(fld_date,'DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS') FROM TST_DATE;
23.10.2006 11:25:23
23.10.2006 11:25:25
As you see TIME DATA IS CORRECT.
When I EXPOPRT data TO SQL-insert type I got this result IN TST_DATE.SQL file:
-- INSERTING into TST_DATE
Insert into "TST_DATE" ("FLD_DATE") values (to_date('2006-10-23','DD.MM.RR'));
Insert into "TST_DATE" ("FLD_DATE") values (to_date('2006-10-23','DD.MM.RR'));
As you seel I lost TIME DATA.
QUESTION!
HOW CAN I SET PROPER DATE FORMAT IN SQL-DEVELOPER BEFORE I EXPORT DATA TO FLAT FILE.
Best regards, Iztok from SLOVENIA

A DATE-Field, is a DATE-Field and not a
DATE-TIME-Field.
The export-tool identifies a DATE-Field and exports
the data into date-format.This is not true. Oracle DATE fields include a time element.
To the original poster - I believe this is a bug in the current version.
See this thread for possible workarounds Bad Export format --- BUG ???

Buddy,
Try this..
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE generate_stmt
(prm_table_name IN VARCHAR2,
prm_where_clause IN VARCHAR2,
prm_output_folder IN VARCHAR2,
prm_output_file IN VARCHAR2) IS
TYPE ref_cols IS REF CURSOR;
mmy_ref_cols ref_cols;
mmy_column_name VARCHAR2(100);
mmy_column_data_type VARCHAR2(1);
mmy_col_string VARCHAR2(32767);
mmy_query_col_string VARCHAR2(32767);
V_FILE_HNDL UTL_FILE.file_type;
begin
OPEN mmy_ref_cols FOR
SELECT LOWER(column_name) column_name
FROM user_tab_columns
WHERE table_name = UPPER(prm_table_name)
ORDER BY column_id;
LOOP
FETCH mmy_ref_cols
INTO mmy_column_name;
EXIT WHEN mmy_ref_cols%NOTFOUND;
mmy_col_string := mmy_col_string || mmy_column_name || ', ';
mmy_query_col_string := mmy_query_col_string || ' ' || mmy_column_name || ',';
END LOOP;
CLOSE mmy_ref_cols;
mmy_col_string := 'INSERT INTO ' || LOWER(prm_table_name) || ' (' ||CHR(10) || CHR(9) || CHR(9) || mmy_col_string;
mmy_col_string := RTRIM(mmy_col_string, ', ');
mmy_col_string := mmy_col_string || ')' || CHR(10) || 'VALUES ( ' ||CHR(9);
mmy_query_col_string := RTRIM(mmy_query_col_string,' || ' || '''' || ',' || '''' || ' || ');
V_FILE_HNDL := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('TEST','TESST.TXT', 'W');
OPEN mmy_ref_cols FOR 'SELECT ' || mmy_query_col_string ||' FROM ' || prm_table_name ||' ' || prm_where_clause;
loop
FETCH mmy_ref_cols INTO mmy_query_col_string;
EXIT WHEN mmy_ref_cols%NOTFOUND;
mmy_query_col_string := mmy_query_col_string || ');';
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE(V_FILE_HNDL, mmy_col_string);
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE(V_FILE_HNDL, mmy_query_col_string);
end loop;
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(V_FILE_HNDL);
END;
This would work for table with one and only one column.
Look at the line below:
FETCH mmy_ref_cols INTO mmy_query_col_string;
mmy_query_col_string has been declared as string...So it would hold single value only.That's the reason when you try this block on table with more than one column,mmy_query_col_string would've to hold a table row type data which it would not...
Good luck!!

SSIS 2012 is intermittently failing with below "Invalid date format" while importing data from a source table into a Destination table with same exact schema.

We migrated Packages from SSIS 2008 to 2012. The Package is working fine in all the environments except in one of our environment.
SSIS 2012 is intermittently failing with below error while importing data from a source table into a Destination table with same exact schema.

End Error
But when we reorder the column in "Updated" in Destination table, the package is importing data successfully.
This looks like bug to me, Any suggestion?

Hi Mohideen,
Based on my research, the issue might be related to one of the following factors:
Memory pressure. Check there is a memory challenge when the issue occurs. In addition, if the package runs in 32-bit runtime on the specific server, use the 64-bit runtime instead.
A known issue with SQL Native Client. As a workaround, use .NET data provider instead of SNAC.
Hope this helps.

Invalid date format after APEX upgrade

We are currently working on upgrading our applications from 1.6 to the new APEX 3.2 version. After the upgrade of one of our systems I have a tabular form that is returning the error 'Invalid date format found'. The date that is getting entered into the system is being displayed and choosed via a sql popup. The code for the pop up is
SQL CODE
create or replace view next_weeks as
with t as (
select
trunc(sysdate) + (rownum - 1) / 2 d
from
dual
connect
by rownum <= 28)
, call_info as (
select
c.call_identifier, c.callback_date, c.callback_cancelled
from uid_csr_schedule c
select
to_char(d, 'fmDy MM/DD/YYYY AM') l
, to_char(d, 'dd-mon-yy hh:mi:ss AM') v
,to_char(d, 'mm/dd/yy hh:mi:ss AM') o
from
t
where
((select count(callback_date) from call_info ci where ci.callback_date = t.d
and (ci.callback_cancelled is null or ci.callback_cancelled !='Y'))) <
(select csr_calls_per_period from uid_sch_system_default)
minus
select
to_char(d, 'fmDy MM/DD/YYYY AM') l
, to_char(d, 'dd-mon-yy hh:mi:ss AM') v
,to_char(d, 'mm/dd/yy hh:mi:ss AM') o
from
t
where
(select count(callback_date) from call_info ci where ci.callback_date = t.d
and (ci.callback_cancelled is null or (ci.callback_cancelled !='Y')))
=(select override_amt from uid_sch_call_override
where (to_char(begin_date,'dd-mon-yy') || ' ' || upper(period)) = to_char(t.d, 'dd-mon-yy AM'))
union select

, to_char(d, 'dd-mon-yy hh:mi:ss AM') v
,to_char(d, 'mm/dd/yy hh:mi:ss AM') o
from
t
where
((select count(callback_date) from call_info ci where ci.callback_date = t.d
and (ci.callback_cancelled is null or ci.callback_cancelled !='Y'))) >=
(select csr_calls_per_period from uid_sch_system_default)
and

(select override_amt from uid_sch_call_override
where (to_char(begin_date,'dd-mon-yy') || ' ' || upper(period)) = to_char(t.d, 'dd-mon-yy AM'))
order by o
The form then has the item set as a popup with a date format mask of dd-MON-yy hh:mi:ss AM. The popup displays fine and the date is shown in the field but the error is received when I try to save the information. If I change the application global setting of date format mask to dd-MON-yy hh:mi:ss AM then this error goes away however, it creates problems on all the rest of my pages that use this date in the where clause of the queries. Is there a way to solve the problem above without having to change the globalization parameter or do I need to change this parameter and then redo those queries?
Thanks for your help!
Amber

Amber,
It's interesting that the problem goes away if you set the global date format to be the same as the column level. The column level should trump the global setting. What process is returning the error? Are you sure it's the MRU or could it be something custom?
You could consider adding a process before the MRU fires that uses alter session to change the date format.

Dan

How to export data from a Oracle table to a delimited file?

I know how to load delimited file into a table, but how to export
data from a Oracle table to a delimited file?
Thanks in advance.

Try looking at this link, it's long but there's three different solutions discussed in it. If you look at Barbara Boehmer's
solution in her posts in the link below you'll see that she's addressed your concerns with spool files.

Error is because of invalid date format.
You need to bring data in required format. As I remember you can configured it in one of the AD configuration lookup.

Pulling data from table to a flat file

hi all,
Good day to all,
Is there any script which i can use for pulling data from tables to a flat file and then import that data to other DB's. Usage of db link is restricted. The db version is 10.2.0.4.
thanks,
baskar.l

Is there any script which i can use for pulling data from tables to a flat file and then import that data to other DB'sFlat file is adequate only from VARCHAR2, NUMBER, & DATA datatypes.
Other datatypes present a challenge within text file.
A more robust solution is to use export/import to move data between Oracle DBs.

Export multiple tables into one flat file

I have data in multiple tables on a processing database that I need to move up to a production database. I want to export the data into a flat file, ftp it to the production server and have another job pick up the file and process it. I am looking for
design suggestions on how to get multiple tables into one flat file using SSIS?
Thank You.

Hey,
Without a bit more detail, as per Russels response, its difficult to give an exact recommendation.
Essentially, you would first add a data flow task to your control flow. Create a source per table, then direct the output of each into an union all task. The output from the union all task would then be directed to a flat file destination.
Within the union all task you can map the various input columns into the appropriate outputs.
If the sources are different, it would probably be easiest to add a derived column task in-between the source and the union all, adding columns as appropriate and setting a default value that can be easily identified later (again depending on your requirements).
Hope that helps,
Jamie

Export records into a flat file

Hi...
I have to export some tables into a flat file. The output must be like this:
insert into table (col1, col2.....) value (one, two......)
insert into table (col1, col2.....) value (one, two......)
insert into table (col1, col2.....) value (one, two......)
how can I do that.......with PLSQL code?
Thanks

Syndicate Qualifers along wiht main table as a flat file

Hi All,
Is it possible to syndicate qualifiers along with main table as a flat file??
I can see the data in the data manager... I mapped the source Qualifers to the destination field.. But I am unable to see the data/value in the preview tad or in the file... Am I missing some thing?
Please advise.
Thanks
RAJEEV

Hi Rajeev,
Is it possible to syndicate qualifiers along with main table as a flat file??
Yes this is quite possible.
I checked, this is working fine at my end. I mapped qualifier fields e.g quiliferfield1 [Qual] under(when navigate) flower node(symbol) of field say XX in main table which is look up to Qualified table. I am able to see Qualifier values in Destination Preview tab.
But I am unable to see the data/value in the preview tad or in the file... Am I missing some thing?
Just check through Data Manager, whether for those Qualified table with main table record has associated Qualifier values or not. May be in your case main table records has not associated qualifier values, I mean has empty or null Qualifiers.

Upload table with a flat file Once - without program

Hello,
I know that it is possible to upload a Z table from a flat file. (without program)
I do not have a problem with this table. I manage a maintenance view (SM30) and I can thus enter one by one a recording in this table and to put it in an transport request(R3TR-TABU)
I would like to enter all the recordings only one (with a file.)
I know that it is possible... but how???
Thank you to help me.
Servane

The only other way I know how to put table entries in is thru SE11 Utitlties>Table Contents->create entries. But this does not allow to be uploaded via file.

Isn't school work marvelous?
Create an external table.

Getting the data into a temporary table may make sense in SQL Server ... but not in Oracle.

Date format in create table statement

Hello,
I would like to know if it possible to CREATE TABLE with formated date;
create table months
(id number,
(month_col to_char( month_col,'MM'));so when I insert
insert into months values (1,sysdate); And query
select *from months;
I would get
id months_col
1 04I know this could easily be done by cerating a view on a table, but I was wondering if this was possible to implement directly into table.
I browesed through the documentation, but did not find any datatype that would support this.
Thank you for replies.

Personally I would go for using the DATE data type. Using the DATE data type will always ensure that you are actually inserting a date. With a VARCHAR2 or CHAR data type you could insert '27' which is a valid character string but an invalid date.
To display the data the way you want you could either use a view or if you are on a more recent version of Oracle a virtual column.
Hope this helps!

Hi,
If you are using the .ctl file to import .CSV files into HANA, the default source date format is YYYYMMDD. However, if say your source format is in the YYYY/MM/DD format for e.g... you can change your IMPORT statement as follows:
IMPORT FROM '<file_location>.ctl' WITH THREADS 16 BATCH 200000 DATE FORMAT 'YYYY/MM/DD';
It is worth noting the SYTAX of the IMPORT statement as you could transform TIME and TIMESTAMP fields similarly:
IMPORT FROM [<file_type>] <file_path> [INTO <table_name>] [WITH <import_from_option
_list>]
<file_type> ::= CSV FILE | CONTROL FILE
<file_path> ::= '<character>...'
<table_name> ::= [<schema_name>.]<identifier>
<import_from_option_list> ::= <import_from_option> | <import_from_option_list> <import_from_option>
<import_from_option> :: =
THREADS <number_of_threads> |
BATCH <number_of_records_of_each_commit> |
TABLE LOCK |
NO TYPE CHECK |
SKIP FIRST <number_of_rows_to_skip> ROW |
COLUMN LIST IN FIRST ROW |
COLUMN LIST ( <column_name_list> ) |
RECORD DELIMITED BY '<string_for_record_delimiter>' |
FIELD DELIMITED BY '<string_for_field_delimiter>' |
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '<character_for_optional_enclosure>' |
DATE FORMAT '<string_for_date_format>' |
TIME FORMAT '<string_for_time_format>' |
TIMESTAMP FORMAT '<string_for_timestamp_format>' |
