Issue inserting into USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA via Oracle Apex

G'day All,
I've originally riased my issue in "Application Express - http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=537922&tstart=45 " but have not had any solutions provided yet.
Just a quick summary, when I insert a record into user_sdo_geom_metadata using Oracle Apex SQL Command tool and run a select on the view no records appear. After a bit of investigating I found it is wrongly being given a SDO_OWNER value of ANONYMOUS instead of the value from sys_context('userenv', 'CURRENT_SCHEMA') which in my case would be "TEST".
When I run SELECT sys_context('userenv', 'CURRENT_SCHEMA') FROM DUAL it correctly returns "TEST".
If anyone could let me know whats going wrong I would be most appreciated :)
Cheers
Mark

try to
grant select on table1 to schema2....
Once you have granted the access to teh schema...you should be able to access the MDSYS schema.
This should be OK.

ORA-06502: error when inserting into table via db link with long datatype

Folks,
I am getting the following error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small.
This occurs when an insert is done via a database link into a table that has a LONG data type for one of the columns, and the string contains some carriage returns and or line feeds.
I have checked by removing the db link, and inserting into a local table with identical column data types, where there is no error.
So this might be another db link bug?
So I need to remove the carriage returns and/or line feeds
in my pl/sql block in the page process. I have tried
l_text := REPLACE(l_text, CHR(10), ' ');
l_text := REPLACE(l_text, CHR(13), NULL);
but still getting the ORA-06502. Would really appreciate some advice here, please.
Cheers
KIM

Scott,
Time to 'fess up':
My fault sorry, the error was coming from another page process where I had allowed insufficient string length for one of the variables, and my error message did not identify the page process clearly.
This leads me to make a request for future releases, could the system error messages state which page process caused the problem?
One other thing I notice, and this might be a feature not a fault, the page processes are numbered: "Page Process: 3 of 5". However process 3 is not the 3rd one to be processed, and probably refers to the order in which they are created. Should the number reflect the process order?
Cheers

INSERT INTO QUERY AGAINST ORACLE

I've tested the INSERTINTO query where it successfully pulls data from one table in SQL DB and inserts into another SQL DB.
However, when I use the same script to pull data from one table in Oracle DB to another table in Oracle DB, I get an error.
I'm assuming the syntax is a little different for Oracle?
Added debugging and the query looks like this...

Hi together,
I fixed the problem. I multiply the origin number with 10. The result is a number without any comma. During the insert into MSSql I divide by 10.
I now, this is a very strange solution but it works.
Yes I know this helps only, because the column can only save number with one decimal place. For higher decimal places you have to multiple it with 100 or 1000 or......
Hope this helps also other peoples.
kind regards
Joe

Inserting into Postgres via ODBC Gateway

Hi, I've made some tests, here are results and questions:
Postgres:
CREATE TABLE t_dump
str character varying(100)
)Oracle: [ORADB: db link to Postgrers]
INSERT INTO "t_dump"@ORADB VALUES ('test'); Works fine, both from SQL as from PL/SQL
However:
Declare
m_str Varchar2 (10) := 'test';
Begin
INSERT INTO "t_dump"@ORADB VALUES (m_str);
End;Gives me an error:
Error report:
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-02067: transaction or savepoint rollback required
ORA-28511: lost RPC connection to heterogeneous remote agent using SID=ORA-28511: lost RPC connection to heterogeneous remote agent using SID=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=DB)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=pg)))
ORA-02055: distributed update operation failed; rollback required
ORA-02063: preceding lines from ORADB
ORA-06512: at line 8
00604. 00000 - "error occurred at recursive SQL level %s"
*Cause:    An error occurred while processing a recursive SQL statement
           (a statement applying to internal dictionary tables).
*Action:   If the situation described in the next error on the stack
           can be corrected, do so; otherwise contact Oracle Support.Dynamic SQL gives exact same error:
Declare
m_str Varchar2 (10) := 'test';
Begin
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
'INSERT INTO "t_dump"@ORADB VALUES (:v0)'
Using m_str;
End;Is there any way I could use variables into queries?
One more issiue:
I have created partitioned table in Postgres, and simple INSERT statement works fine [SQL from Oracle]; however- the same statement, enclosed with begin/end [PL/SQL] needs about 60 seconds to finish. Is it normal behaviour? Is there any config/pragma/.. I could use to speed it up?
Regards
Bart Dabr

Hi,
Your sample also doesn't work in PL/SQL block..
Here is my detailed config:
Oracle Database 11g Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64bit Production
TNS for Linux: Version 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
PostgreSQL 8.4.8 on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc-4.5.real (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.5.2-8ubuntu4) 4.5.2, 64-bit
and latest ODBC version from Postgres webpage (09.00.0310)
I will install the latest Postgres DB and try it then

Insert into MSSQL from Oracle

Hello together,
I'm a little bit frustrated. The follwoing is my problem:
I want to insert some values from an Oracle 10gR2 database into a MSSQL database (SQL Server 2008 R2).
Therefor I'm using DG4ODBC 11.2.0.3. The connection is working absolutly fine.
I want to insert five values from five columns from oracle.table-a into a msssql table-b.
But I'm hitting the error:
Invalid character value for cast specification.
Two columns from the oracle table are chars size 12 and 40, and three are number size 5.1, 5.1 and 4.
The MSSQL column definitions are varchar40, varchar50, 2x float8 and int.
The column assignments are:
Oralce -> MSSQL
a. char 12 -> varchar40
b. char 40 -> varchar50
c. number 5.1 -> float8
d. number 5.1 -> float8
e. number 4 -> int4
The insert works greate for a,b and e but nor for c and d.
I tried so many solutions (cast, to_binary_float, nls_character_format, nls_theritpory etc..) but nothing helps.
I always hitting this error.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
cheers
Joe

Hi together,
I fixed the problem. I multiply the origin number with 10. The result is a number without any comma. During the insert into MSSql I divide by 10.
I now, this is a very strange solution but it works.
Yes I know this helps only, because the column can only save number with one decimal place. For higher decimal places you have to multiple it with 100 or 1000 or......
Hope this helps also other peoples.
kind regards
Joe

Create and insert into table from Oracle to MS SQL server.

Hello,
Oracle Database 11g and Red hat 5
I have a very different kind of issue. I am handling the ORACLE db(remote db with all the important data). On the other side their is a MS SQL server db(local db with some testing data in it). All the users will access the ORACLE db for the actual processing but for sometime they need to apply some of their own concepts. So they will transfer the data from ORACLE to MS sql server.
I want to create a code in ORACLE db like a procedure , which will create a table in MS sql server , insert data into it,Also create some metadata table to keep some of my table's info on MS SQL serve db,If the table is present it should append the data, .... like many things ...
Overall my question is , how can i write a code to make these operation on a remote db, that to these operations are DDL and on MS SQL Server(Non-Oracle) ???
Please guide me with some ideas or solutions ...
Also provide if you have some good links to study ...
thanks in advance.

I'm not sure why you never visit http://tahiti.oracle.com prior to asking any question. Is it forbidden in your locale? Are you afraid of it? Will your salary be decreased when you visit the documentation?
http://www.oracle.com/pls/db111/search?word=sql+server&partno=
should provide sufficient information.
Your doc question must be considered a violation of Forum Etiquette and an abuse of this forum.

Strange data inserted into table via table trigger

Hi ,
There is some strange phenomenon happen occasionally where some tables update records will have a TRIGGER to insert records into a table and once in a while, the record has some strange data inserted which looks like a memory corruption. It is running on 10.2.0.3.
Does anyone ever encounter this before?
Strange result:
PRIM_KEY
-3.614364951000000000000000000000000E-47
-3.614364951000000000000000000000000E-47
Normal result:
PRIM_KEY
1137KT
1137KT
ana

Hi,
What is strange in this? Its not memory corruption. Its just one of the numeric form of representation of number
-3.614364951000000000000000000000000E-47it means -3.614364951 * 10 to the power of -47.
Whatever value has been entered into the table depends on your business logic you coded, and user input.

ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column - APEX

Hi There,
I getting the above error in the edit query section of the report queries.
Navigation: Shared Components>Report Queries>Edit Report Query
The same sql query is working fine in Toad. Also if I create a view on this sql query and use it in the Report Queries, it works fine. However I can't do that as I have to pass parameters to this query at runtime and it is a complex query.
Please let me know what could be the reason and how can it be corrected.
Thanks

Any Thoughts?

Getting error while importing the application in Oracle Apex

Hi,
I am facing an issue while importing an application into my new Oracle Apex installation. Installation was successful with out any issue. I exported an application from my old Apex (version 3.0.0.00.20) and importing the same into new apex (version 3.0.1.00.08). I am getting the following error.
============================================================
The requested URL /pls/apex/wwv_flow.accept was not found on this server.
============================================================
When I click on import in Application Builder page and then browse the required file it gives the progress saying "Importing File" and after some time it displays the above error.
I tried bouncing the application also and there is not error in alert log.
Could any one please suggest, if there is some problem here. Or my approach is not correct.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Advait Deo

Osacar, I recommend that you try to import the application into your workspace on apex.oracle.com and see what happens. Also, refine the problem statement as much as you can, e.g., you get this error importing "the application" or when importing "any" application. How big is the file you're trying to import? Where did it come from? Can you upload images?

About insert into MDSYS.SDO_GEOM_METADATA_TABLE

Hi all,
I'm newbie with Oracle Spatial.
I would like to know what values can I define to columns SDO_LB and SDO_UB
for the dim element for SRID 8292 when I insert into table
MDSYS.SDO_GEOM_METADATA_TABLE.
I found the following example:
INSERT INTO MDSYS.SDO_GEOM_METADATA_TABLE
       SDO_OWNER, SDO_TABLE_NAME, SDO_COLUMN_NAME,
       SDO_DIMINFO,
       SDO_SRID)
VALUES('PROJUSER', 'LOCAL', 'CD_LOCAL',
MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ARRAY(MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('X', 500000, 600000, 0.05),
                    MDSYS.SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('Y', 7000000, 7020000, 0.05)),
8292);But I don't know if this insert is correct and the spatial index
is valid for SRID 8292.
Thank you very much!!!
[]´s

Hi,
8292 is a Geographic system, so this is the correct entry for metadata:
insert into user_sdo_geom_metadata values ( ...,
SDO_DIM_ARRAY(SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('X', -180, 180, .05),
SDO_DIM_ELEMENT('Y', -90, 90, .05)), 8292);
And you should never insert directly into the MDSYS.SDO_GEOM_METADATA_TABLE table.
You should always insert into USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA view.

File to RFC problem- data is not inserting into ztable in R3 system

Hi
i have done File to RFC scenario which picks data from flat file and inserts into ztable via RFC in R3. but while testing my scenario everything is successful in XI monitoring (Successful flag in MONI and RWB) and in auditlog message status is DLVD.
it seems to be everything successful in XI and RFC call also successful in R3 system.
but for some reason data is not inserting into table (RFC is used to insert data into ztable)
Is there any way to debug RFC call excecution in XI..?
RFC code is like this:
insert ZMM_AUTO_GR from INPUT_TABLE.
commit work.
END FUNCTION.
please advice what could be the reason not inserting into table.
Help would be appreciated.

Reg: read excel column and insert into table.

hi Friends,
      i wanted to read the data from Excel and insert into in my oracle tables.
      can you provide the link or example script.
    how to read the column value from excel and insert into table.
please help.

< unnecessary reference to personal blog removed by moderator >
Here are the steps:
1) First create a directory and grant read , write , execute to the user from where you want to access the flat files and load it.
2) Write a generic function to load PIPE delimited flat files:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION TABLE_LOAD ( p_table in varchar2,
p_dir in varchar2 DEFAULT ‘YOUR_DIRECTORY_NAME’,
P_FILENAME in varchar2,
p_ignore_headerlines IN INTEGER DEFAULT 1,
p_delimiter in varchar2 default ‘|’,
p_optional_enclosed in varchar2 default ‘”‘ )
return number
is
– FUNCTION TABLE_LOAD
– PURPOSE: Load the flat files i.e. only text files to Oracle
– tables.
– This is a generic function which can be used for
– importing any text flat files to oracle database.
– PARAMETERS:
– P_TABLE
– Pass name of the table for which import has to be done.
– P_DIR
– Name of the directory where the file is been placed.
– Note: The grant has to be given for the user to the directory
– before executing the function
– P_FILENAME
– The name of the flat file(a text file)
– P_IGNORE_HEADERLINES
– By default we are passing 1 to skip the first line of the file
– which are headers on the Flat files.
– P_DELIMITER
– Dafault “|” pipe is been passed.
– P_OPTIONAL_ENCLOSED
– Optionally enclosed by ‘ ” ‘ are been ignored.

‘.txt’,
‘_’ || TO_CHAR(SYSDATE, ‘DD_MON_RRRR_HH24_MI_SS_AM’) || ‘.txt’
commit;
RETURN L_ROWCOUNT;
end TABLE_LOAD;
Note: when you run the function then it will also modify the source flat file with timestamp , so that we can have the track like which file was loaded .
3) Check if the user is having UTL_FILE privileges or not :
SQL> SELECT OWNER,
OBJECT_TYPE
FROM ALL_OBJECTS
WHERE OBJECT_NAME = ‘UTL_FILE’
AND OWNER =<>;
If the user is not having the privileges then grant “UTL_FILE” to user from SYS user:
SQL> GRANT EXECUTE ON UTL_FILE TO <>;
4) In the function I have used two tables like:
import_hist table and badlog table to track the history of the load and another to check the bad log if it occurs while doing the load .
Under the same user create an error log table to log the error out records while doing the import:
SQL> CREATE TABLE badlog
errm VARCHAR2(4000),
data VARCHAR2(4000) ,
error_date TIMESTAMP
Under the same user create Load history table to log the details of the file and tables that are imported with a track of records loaded:
SQL> create table IMPORT_HIST
FILENAME varchar2(200),
TABLE_NAME varchar2(200),
NUM_OF_REC number,
IMPORT_DATE DATE
5) Finally run the PLSQL block and check if it is loading properly or not if not then check the badlog:
Execute the PLSQL block to import the data from the USER:
SQL> declare
P_TABLE varchar2(200):=<>;
P_DIR varchar2(200):=<>;
P_FILENAME VARCHAR2(200):=<>;
v_Return NUMBER;
BEGIN
v_Return := TABLE_LOAD(
P_TABLE => P_TABLE,
P_DIR => P_DIR,
P_FILENAME => P_FILENAME,
P_IGNORE_HEADERLINES => P_IGNORE_HEADERLINES,
P_DELIMITER => P_DELIMITER,
P_OPTIONAL_ENCLOSED => P_OPTIONAL_ENCLOSED
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(‘v_Return = ‘ || v_Return);
end;
6) Once the PLSQL block is been executed then check for any error log table and also the target table if the records are been successfully imported or not.

Insert a record into a table through email in an Oracle APEX application

I developed an Oracle APEX application, there is a table called events. I can insert/update/delete a record in the table through browser. I am thinking in order to quickly do the data entry, user should be able to send an email, then the table should be inserted with values from email address, timestamp, subject and body. Anyd idea how to realize this functionality?
- Denis

Start by checking whether your mail server provides any API's for accessing emails , if it does you might be able to reduce a lot of work by using some kind of web service consumer from apex to your mail server. In any case your implementation is going to be dependent on your Mail Server configuration.
Your problem breaks down to reading/accessing mails from the mail server from PLSQL (apex is driven by PLSQL).
I found this other thread which could be of some use.
WAY TO ACCESS A MAIL SERVER FROM ORACLE APEX
<li>The following package might solve your problem directly(from carsten czarski of the German Apex community)
[url http://plsqlmailclient.sourceforge.net]http://plsqlmailclient.sourceforge.net
PS: POP3 support is still TBD.
<li>I also found this posting in the orafaq forums which lists a java method and PLSQL code bit for it for accessing emails via POP3

If these do not work for you, find some java library to read mail from your server, write a PLSQL wrapper for it and use it in a scheduled job(DBMS_JOB)/a PLSQL block triggered from Apex.
If you get stuck there, find some utility that can read mails, invoke them from your DB using java,shell scrpt,dbms_scheduler etc and use the utility's function for the rest.
NOTE: I haven't tried any of these utilities and you must validate any java code before running them on your environment.
Since aren't really much restrictions(other than spam checks) in sending a mail to your mail account, you might want to consider filtering out the mails from which you create records.

Issue inserting UTF8 data into Oracle in windows environment.

I have a UTF8 PHP application that is writing a string containing special characters to oracle through a ODBC connection. The Oracle database is setup for UTF8 support.
Here is the issue. I have a simple string, "louis de funès". When the data manually moved correctly in UTF8 the data comes up correctly. The Oracle dump() shows:
WORKING DATA:
String: louis de funès
select keywords, dump(keywords, 17) from ame_links where keywords like '%louis de %';
Typ=1 Len=15: l,o,u,i,s, ,d,e, ,f,u,n,c3,a8,s
However, when the same string is Inserted through the PHP application the data shows up in the db like this.
NOT - WORKING:
String: louis de funès
select keywords, dump(keywords, 17) from ame_links where keywords like '%louis de %';
Typ=1 Len=17: l,o,u,i,s, ,d,e, ,f,u,n,c3,83,c2,a8,
(The è character has 4 bytes associated with it)
Windows Setup:
Windows Registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> SOFTWARE -> ORACLE -> HOME0 ->
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
HTTP headers are set for Content-Type:text/html; charset=UTF-8.
Anyone know why I would get 2 extra bytes (83,c2) added in the middle of the è character? Is the oracle client doing some other type of character set conversion before I insert it into the database.
I have also noticed that when I change the NLS_LANG from AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8 to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252 that the 4 byte 'è' character works and the 2 byte character doesn't.

I reproduced the porblem. Only differnce from yours is that it reproduces regardless the NLS_LANG setting.
Although I cannot be 100% sure, I think what is happening is that Microsoft ODBC Driver Manager converts the insert statement from Windows ACP to Unicode, then calls SQLExecDirectW (WideChar version of SQLExecDirect) of the Oracle ODBC Driver and passes the insert statement in Unicode. Since your PHP code passed the insert statement in UTF-8 encoding, and the Driver Manager converted it from Windows ACP to Unicode, the letter e with grave ("c3,a8" in UTF-8) was wrongly converted to U+00c3, U+00a8 in the Unicode insert statement, then converted to UTF8 ( "c3,83,c2,a8") by Oracle.
By looking at the PHP source code, apparently PHP odbc_exec() function calls ANSI SQLExecDirect().
I tried to verify that the Driver Manager calls SQLExecDirectW() of Oracle ODBC Driver by enabling the ODBC Tracing, but I couldn't make it work. It genetates an emply SQL.LOG file. So my investigation stops here.
IF YOUR METADATA NAMES ARE ASCII ONLY, AND NON-ASCII CHARACTERS APPEAR ONLY IN DATA, you can workaround this problem by binding data. For example,
$stmt = odbc_prepare($conn, "insert into AME_LINKS (keywords, site_id) values (?, ?)");
$rs = odbc_execute($stmt, array($invar,77));

APex 4.1 Error ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG

Hi There,
Facing a strange issue.
I have a regular cursor, and in that cursor loop I have a select statement into some variables based on cursor parameters.
I was getting the "ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column" error so I started individually checking each of the columns. Now it works fine for some column, but the moment I add this number field. It starts throwing this error. Now, the database source where the select is fired is of type number, the variable into which I select it is number .
Infact, I dont have any LONG column defined anywhere.
The strange thing is that the block executes perfectly fine in SQl developer. So looks like a Apex specific issue.
I am on 4.1/11g
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Sun

Now, I have put this inside a Dynamic action (PL/SQL procedure). I think this PL/SQL procedure will go up to about 1500 to 2000 lines of code. There are no long columns involved anywhere or even CLOB, BLOB etc.
Is there any limitation to the size of code? When you say size of a code. Are you saying the whole PL/SQL block is stored in one Varchar2(4000) field? :) Did not know that. I am quite sure, the PL/SQL compiled package on the database would work perfect. Just was wondering why it was not working within APEX!
Also, Is there any documentation regarding this that you might be aware of?You can look at the APEX views. Code for some purposes (like region source) is stored in CLOBs:

Common sense should come into play. As Tony points out, the proper way to develop and deploy complex PL/SQL is using modular subprograms stored in packages. Same for APEX as for anything else.
