KUP-01005 error in external table definition

Hello,
I'm facing an issue that I found it has been rose in the past but that never had an answer.
I'm using an external table to load a file on the database.
This file format is CSV (actually using ";" as delimiter) and it has header and trailer records that has the same format of data records, but contain field names in it.
E.g.:
FIELD_NAME1;FIELD_NAME2;...
I want to discard this records (for the header is easy, I can use SKIP 1 parameter) and the way I was trying to do this was using the following condition:
LOAD WHEN ( FIELD_NAME1 != "FIELD_NAME1" )
The problem arises when a record has the first field empty (hence NULL): the record is discarded.
Therefore I tried modifing the condition in this way:
LOAD WHEN ( ( FIELD_NAME1 != "FIELD_NAME1" ) OR ( ( FIELD_NAME1 = NULL ) )
but in this case I get the following error:
KUP-01005 : syntax error : found "null": expecting on of "blanks, double-quoted-string, hexprefix, identifier, single-quoted-string"
I've doublechecked Oracle reference and the NULL keyword is admitted - morover it is stated that a NULL value can be tested only against NULL value, otherwise the comparison returns false.
Can anyone help me solving this issue? Is it a bug in SQLLOADER Driver used by External Tables or an error in Oracle Reference?
Regards

It's an other option that I've already tried, but it doesn't work - and it is correct because in External Table statement I've specified to trim fields (LRTRIM), so there's no fields containing blanks (they're simply empty).
However, my main concern is that I tried to use a statement that should be correct - according to Oracle reference.
Instead I get an error regarding the syntax of the statement...
I think that I can workaround this problem - but it is a workaround, not a real solution... :-|

UPPER() in external table definition

Hi,
Is it possible to apply the UPPER() function to character columns within an external table definition using the ORACLE_LOADER driver?
I've tried myself and have looked through the documentation, and it seems like this is not possible ... just wanted to double-check before moving forward with a different solution.
Thanks.

I've never seen an example of doing it nor do I see anywhere in the syntax that lends itself to such manipulation.
Consider creating a view.

Substr in external table definition

Hi Guys,
I have an external table where I am loading a txt file. The issue being, in the txt file I have a column with a variable length. This column houses the application/website link that is not of a fixed length. My external table field width is 100, but the txt file value is more than that. Now, I want to only insert this field for the 100 characters.
I tried using substr as shown in the example below, but it fails. Any idea what could be the alternative or if I am doing it right?
Here's my external table properties (access parameters) and I am trying to use 'substr' on field4
records delimited BY NEWLINE
badfile BAD_DIR:'email_events%a_%p.bad'
LOGFILE LOG_DIR:'email_events%a_%p.log'
fields terminated by '\t'
missing field values are null
event_type,
cm_timestamp,
issue_id,
cm_uid,
field1,
field2,
field3,
field4 "substr(:field4,1,100)",
field5,
field6,
field7,
field8,
field9,
field10,
field11,
field12,
field13,
field14
)

Just set your external table definition to query the full thing and then when you come to insert that data to a real table from the external table you can apply the substr in that query.

LTRIM in an External Table Definition.

Hi,
We're using Oracle 11.2.
Seeing as there's little documentation on the Web about non-general External Table definitions, I want to put this question out there.
How do I put an Ltrim function into an External table definition?

Thanks,
That's one way would be to use a view on an external table definition but I know there's way to so it in the definition of the external table.

KUP-01005 error when selecting external table

Hi All,
My name is arun. I am having trouble resolving the following error. I tried to google, search oracle forum but no avail. I would really appreciate some help? I hope someone point me to the right direction with this problem. Thank you.
Scenario :
I have done the following :
1. Created the external directories using a user account(KDEV199). However by default its owned by SYS user.
2. Created the table necessary for selection. This was done by user account(KDEV199)
3. I have granted the folder privileges owned by oinstall:oracle where the 2 physical files exists. Thus all the files is owned by oracle. This was done at OS layer.
4. I have created 2 files necessary to extract data & read in oracle. This was done at OS layer.
The problem is that i have the following when i try to select the table :
SQL> select * from TEXN_IGM_MST;
select * from TEXN_IGM_MST
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout

UPPER function in external table definition ... ?

Greetings
Is there a way to specify a SQL function, like UPPER, in an external table column definition?
I know I can do it with SQL*Loader in the control file but I haven't found a way to do it in OWB?
I realize there are ways outside of the external table using a view, etc. but I'd like to reference the external table directly without having to create yet another object.
Thanks very much!!

Error in external table

Suppose we have a file containing city populations in our /tmp directory and we wish to access this data from within our database.
Tokyo,Japan,33600000
Seoul,South Korea,23400000
Mexico City,Mexico,22400000
New York,USA,21900000
Bombay,India,21600000
Delhi,India,21500000
Sao Paulo,Brazil,20600000
Los Angeles,USA,18000000
Shanghai,China,17500000O
saka,Japan,16700000
First, we create a DIRECTORY object which will reference the /tmp directory in our file system.
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY tmp_dir AS '/tmp';
Directory created
Now, we create an external table by specifying the name of the file we wish to query and the directory where it can be located. We will rely on the default values of comma for a field separator and new line as the record delimiter, to describe our data.
CREATE TABLE pop_ext ( city VARCHAR2(30),
country VARCHAR2(30),
population NUMBER)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(DEFAULT DIRECTORY tmp_dir
LOCATION('pop.txt'));
Table created.
But when run the below query
SELECT * FROM pop_ext;
I am getting following error

ORA-06502 error with external table having long records

I'm getting a strange error with the oci driver that I don't get with the thin driver.
The basic situation is that we using external tables and both the oci and thin drivers have been working until we tested with a table that had longer records than the previous tables. The new table has 1800 byte records.
The thin driver still works fine with the new table. However, the oci driver generates the following error with the new table:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
I suspect that with oci driver the oci DLLs are reading the external file and the DLLs can't handle the longer record length.
Particulars
- Oracle DB Server is 10.2.0.1 on SunOS 5.9
- OCI Instant Client instantclient_10_2 on Windows XP
- OCI client code from DB server installation running on DB server
- Works with thin driver from Windows XP and on DB server machine for all record lengths
- Works with both OCI drivers for records < 1800 bytes (don't know actual limit)
- Fails with both OCI drivers for records = 1800 bytes.
Does anyone out there have any thoughts.
Thanks in advance.

Your access parameters are in the wrong order. External tables are a bit fussy like that. Refer to the access_parameters section in the Utilities manual and follow the order there. From memory it will go something like this:
RECORDS DELIMITED...
LOG/BAD/DISCARDFILE...
FIELDS TERMINATED...LDRTRIM
MISSING FIELD VALUES...
fields...

Hi,
Please read SQL and PL/SQL FAQ
Additionally when you put some code or output please enclose it between two lines starting with {noformat}{noformat}
i.e.:

The information you posted are quite poor. You don't expect to have an answer with such few details.

Error accessing External Table.

Hi All,
I am using external table for importing data. In that excel sheet certain fields are not mandatory. Whenever I try to import data from such excel sheets it is unable to refer those columns which don't have data in all fields. What shall i do, so that the external table will refer to all columns irrespective of whether its having data in all fields are not??
Please help me out.
Any help appreciated.

I think you have some problem with no of columns in your table as well no of columns in your excel sheet. Please paste the table description and excel sheet format here.
