Load data from File on Client side (via Sqlplus)

Server OS: RedHat, Oracle 10g rel 2.
I am trying to load data from OS .txt files to clob field.
I am able to do this successfully using:
Oracle DIRECTORY
BFILE
DBMS_LOB.loadclobfromfile packageIssue is: this only works if my files and DIR are on database server.
Is it not possible "load clob from file" from client side, files being on client and exec command via SQLPlus. Is there any other option to load data from client side.
Thanks for any help.

Options:
1) Search for OraDAV
2) Learn about Application Express.

Load data from file and send to background

Hello, is it possible to load data from a file on the presentation server and then create a batch input to call a transaction with those values but on background NOT using data set?
Thanks in advance.

U can surely design the process to be executed in various ways..one of them is as below ::
Upload ABAP.
1. It reads the file from the presentation server and exports it into INDX database with a specific filename.
2. Updates a ztable with user/upload date and time/filename/status=U.
Batch ABAP.
1. It reads the ztable for all the files with status=U.
2. Using the filename IMPORTS the data from INDX database.
3. Creates the batch input to call transaction.
4. Sets the status as process along with process date and time.
With the above you can have multiple uploading data and batch job picking up each file and doing the needful.

Your error will be the same as this posting
Jobs Credentials Problem
What it needs is the Windows User and it needs to have the Local Security privilege 'Log on as a batch job' . This will be probably already assigned to the ORA_DBA group. So enure that the user you use to logon to Windows is in the ORA_DBA group.

Loading Data From File Through EM on Mac OS X

Has anyone been able to load data from a file through the Oracle Enterprise Manager on Mac OS X?
Specifically, I'm trying to follow the example in the 2-day DBA manual (Chp. 08 "Managing Schema Objects" --> "Loadng Data Into Tables").
When I enter the appropriate user name and password entries into the fields under the "Host Credentials" section, and I click the "Next" button, I run into a "Validation Error." The rest of the error message reads:
"Examine and corrent the following errors, then retry the operation: Error - RemoteOperationException: ERROR: command process interrupted before exit"
Has anyone else encountered the same error? If so, would you please share the solution? I'm also curious to know how to diagnose the problem (i.e., which logs can I reference to trace what's happening in the background?).
Thank you.

I used to get an error message stating that I entered the wrong password whether or not I actually entered the password correctly. Then, I modified the NetInfo entries for the local user account that I was using; I changed the "authentication_authority" property to ";basic;" and changed the "passwd" property a traditional unix hash password (using the 'openssl passwd <password>' command). All changes were done using the NetInfo Manager.
After I made the change, I got a little further, but only as far as the problem that I described at the start of this message thread.
Likewise, I hope someone from Oracle can actually provide some insight into this.

Load data from file extremely slow due to refresh

Hi
I am loading a data from a csv file to an existing table in a PeopleSoft schema on Oracle 11G. The process works fine except that it takes an extremely long time. I suspect that this is because SQL Developer is refreshing the table list on the left hand side which for PeopleSoft 9 takes a long time because there are 65,000 tables in the schema. If my suspicion is correct it would seem a bit strange that I would need to refresh the table list when I am importing into an existing table. Can anybody confirm this ?
As a side note I have tried DBMS_STATS.GATHER_DICTIONARY_STATS (or something like that) but this has not improved the performance of loading the large object lists into the LHS or the object details in the RHS with PeopleSoft 9 - is there a way to improve this performance.
Cheers
Mark

There are many possible reasons for slow performance, not least the fact that sqldeveloper is probably inserting a row at a time. The best tool for this kind of job is sqlldr which is generally blisteringly fast.

thanks1) If these files have all the same format, create an external table .
2) Have a OS script that detects which are the latest files and insert the names into a temp table
3) Query the name(s) from temp table and "alter" the location in the external table
4) Load the data from external table into the real table.
5) Remove the file name from the temp table.

Problem with loading data from file in ../demo/file/test

hi there,
I am using ODI to load text files located on a UNIX server where ODI is installed.
I am using the FILE_GENERIC data server and physical schema that came with ODI and I can reverse and load the demo files located in ../demo/file
I created a sub-directory 'test' under ../demo/file and placed a file there.
When I try to reverse this file (in directory ../demo/file/test) I get the error 'The directory ../demo/file/test specified in your schema does not exist'
I am sure the userid has equal rights to both directories ../demo/file and ../demo/file/test
What could I be missing?

In the topology manager
1. in the logical architecture : If it doesn't already exists (it should exist if your can use it on your local PC), you import the file technology
2. In the physical architecture, you create your data server for files .In your case, it shoud already exist for same reason as above. Is has a blue icon under the file technology
2. Select the Data Server, right click and select Insert Physical Schema . The Physical Schema window appears. On Definition tab, enter a name and then the path of your directory in the data schema field. No need to enyter a work schema for files.
4. Go to the Context tab, Select a Context and an existing Logical Schema for this new Physical Schema.
Select an existing Context in the left column, the type the name of a Logical Schema in the right column. This Logical Schema is automatically created and associated to this physical schema in this context.
It should work but i have never experienced it on a Linux system...

I am loading data from file to DSO and my problem is that data is not active in my DSO, the data are loaded how New Data and I haven´t the data in query and DSO.
The settings of my dso are:
Type: standard

Set Quality Status to 'OK' Automatically: X
Activate Data Automatically: X
I have created one transformation from datasource to DSO and one DTP that extract from datasource ( No PSA).
When I execute the DTP there aren´t errors, the status is green and ok but the data is not active.
If I try activate the data manually the job is launched but the data no active.
Thanks.

Isabel Bautista
u r saying the data is not active in dso and also u r loading the data from file directly( no psa).
i think u know in B.I the data should be in psa then only u can load the data using DTP .so how can u load the data with out data in psa .i thinks may be because of this u r data is not activating in dso

thanks in advance

Roger,
I don't know about simple way to load data from file into a table using button from your application,
Maybe some piece of PL/SQL code with UTL_FILE or DBMS_LOB, or you can try to upload file to database using Apex "File browse" item, and then do some processing with DBMS_LOB... but it will require some work...
Maybe someone else could advice with some simple method I don't know...
However loading files using Apex Load Utility is quite easy.
You can use something like this to load data to views created on remote tables:
CREATE TABLE local_tmp_table AS SELECT * FROM view_on_remote_table WHERE 1=0;
--load data from file to created table using Apex Load utility
INSERT INTO view_on_remote_table SELECT * FROM local_tmp_table;
COMMIT;
DROP local_tmp_table;Or without views:
CREATE TABLE local_tmp_table AS SELECT * FROM remote_table@dblink WHERE 1=0;
--load data from file to created table using Apex Load utility
INSERT INTO remote_table@dblink SELECT * FROM local_tmp_table;
DROP local_tmp_table;Regards

could anyone please advice me on above error.
thanx.

First of all, is file located on (or is accessible from) database server? If not - you can't load it neither with UTL_FILE nor with external table. You need to use client side tool like SQL*Loader or write your own client side load. If file is accessible from database server, then, as sb92075 noted, external table (assuming you are not on some ancient Oracle version) is the way to go.

Need help in loading data from a csv file to a table in Oracle DB

Hi,
I am using sqlplus as a client to connect to the server.
I am trying to load data from a csv file from a client to a table in Oracle DB server.
I am trying to use the below command
" LOAD DATA INFILE 'test.csv' INTO TABLE testTable FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' (test1,test2,testc3,testc4); "
But, I am encountered with the following error
"SP2-0042: unknown command "load data" - rest of line ignored."
Thanks in advance.

Hey Frostmann,
That was a nice post....
I changed my mind to use an 'Insert into' statement from a shell script.
I created a DB table named test and I tried using the below shell script to insert a row in the table.
sqlplus test/test@test <<ENDOFSQL
INSERT INTO test VALUES('test1',123,'test2','test3');
exit
ENDOFSQL
A row is succesfully inserted into the table when I run the script manually, but it does not insert rows when a cron job is scheduled.
Could you please help me with this?
Thanks in advance.

Loading data from flat file into 0EMPLOYEE

Dear,
I want to see the <b>'monthly change of numbers of employees'</b> of my company in a BW report.
i want to do this by loading data from a dummy flat file into 0EMPLOYEE and afterwards into cube 0PAPA_C02.
i've searched the whole 'help and service sap' websites but nowhere, i could find a usefull user guide.
Could you explain me how this job needs to be done, are there certain steps that need to be taken?
here are a few of my questions:
1: what fields and data do i have to fill in my flat file?
2: how does the time-dependency of master data of employee work?
3: why do you only have to map 0calday and 0employee from infosource 0HR_PA_PA_1 to the corresponding fields of cube 0PAPA_C02?
4: how is the key figure 0HDCNT_VC filled automathically?
(the activation of cube 0PAPA_C02 and its flow is already done.)
or maybe you know a user guide which explains the whole picture and could you send me its link?
thanks a lot in advance,
Julie de Meyer

Hi,
Employee is master data : You need to extarct data every month.Once the extraction is done , you need rto activate to see the results. Otherwise it will display old result.
You can extract data for 0HR_PA_0 and 0HR_PA_1 cubes also. After that you can do the reporting based on this.
You can try some sap standard BI reports .
Headcount is calculated based on employement percentage which is maintained in infotype 0007 (Planned Working Time). If it is 100 then it is considerd as headcount 1.
you can check .
