UTL_FILE
With the UTL_FILE package, your PL/SQL programs can read and write operating system text files. UTL_FILE provides a restricted version of operating system stream file I/O.
UTL_FILE I/O capabilities are similar to standard operating system stream file I/O (OPEN, GET, PUT, CLOSE) capabilities, but with some limitations. For example, you call the FOPEN function to return a file handle, which you use in subsequent calls to GET_LINE or PUT to perform stream I/O to a file. When file I/O is done, you call FCLOSE to complete any output and free resources associated with the file.

How can i load file into database from client-side to server-side

i want to upload file from client-side to server-side, i use the following code to load blob into database.
if the file is in the server-side, it can work, but if it in the client-side, it said that the system cannot find the file. i think it only will search the file is in the server-side or not, it will not search the client-side.
how can i solve it without upload the file to the server first, then load it into database??
try
ResultSet rset = null;
PreparedStatement pstmt =
conn.prepareStatement ("insert into docs values (? , EMPTY_BLOB())");
pstmt.setInt (1, docId);
pstmt.execute ();
// Open the destination blob:
pstmt.setInt (1, docId);
rset = pstmt.executeQuery (
"SELECT content FROM docs WHERE id = ? FOR UPDATE");
BLOB dest_lob = null;
if (rset.next()) {
dest_lob = ((OracleResultSet)rset).getBLOB (1);
// Declare a file handler for the input file
File binaryFile = new File (fileName);
FileInputStream istream = new FileInputStream (binaryFile);
// Create an OutputStram object to write the BLOB as a stream
OutputStream ostream = dest_lob.getBinaryOutputStream();
// Create a tempory buffer
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int length = 0;
// Use the read() method to read the file to the byte
// array buffer, then use the write() method to write it to
// the BLOB.
while ((length = istream.read(buffer)) != -1)
ostream.write(buffer, 0, length);
pstmt.close();
// Close all streams and file handles:
istream.close();
ostream.flush();
ostream.close();
//dest_lob.close();
// Commit the transaction:
conn.commit();
conn.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {

Hi,
Without some more details of the configuration, its difficult to know
what's happening here. For example, what do you mean by client side
and server side, and where are you running the upload Java application?
If you always run the application on the database server system, but can't
open the file on a different machine, then it sounds like a file protection
problem that isn't really connected with the database at all. That is to
say, if the new FileInputStream (binaryFile) statement fails, then its not
really a database problem, but a file protection issue. On the other hand,
I can't explain what's happening if you run the program on the same machine
as the document file (client machine), but you can't write the data to the
server, assuming the JDBC connection string is set correctly to connect to
the appropriate database server.
If you can provide some more information, we'll try to help.

SKIP_INDEX_MAINTENANCE=TRUE)
UNRECOVERABLE
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'EMP.dat'
INFILE 'DEPT.dat'

Which operating system? ("Command Prompt" sounds like Windows)
UNIX/Linux: a shell script with multiple calls to sqlldr run in the background with "&" (and possibly nohup)
Windows: A batch file using "start" to launch multiple copies of sqlldr.

SSMA "Loading to database new table File Name.dbo[Table] ...sql execution failed

In this case I had already processed this table once before 'no changes' and processed the second time I received this error ...sql execution Failed. It's like the sql server 2008 R2 doesn't see or detect the process. Starting Phase #0 Synchronizing Database:
then it shows 'Loading to database new table file name.dbo[table] ... sql execution failed (this is my issue)

Hi TheJudge2,
Based on my understanding, you have installed SQL Server Migration Assistant successfully then you perform migration. After migration, you can’t find the table which you want to migrate to SQL Server 2008 R2 under the database in your SQL Server Management
Studio, then you perform migration again. Then error message “Loading to database new table file name.dbo[table] ... sql execution failed” is thrown out. Please correct me if I misunderstand your meaning.
Firstly, I would like to know whether you perform migration from Access database to SQL Server. I have performed migration from Access database to SQL Server in my lab environment. Based on my test, I could migrate Access database to SQL Server successfully
and table existed under the database in SQL Server Management Studio after migration.
Besides, “sql execution failed” is a general error message. It is hard to find out the cause from this error message. Please check the information under the Output in SQL Server Migration Assistant again. It would be better if you can provide the complete
output information for our deep analysis.
Best regards,

Issue in loading specific columns from a file to teradata table using IKM

Hi,
Can any one help to resolve the issue in loading specific columns from text file to teradata table.
i tried using IKM file teradata and columns are getting displaced.
my requirement suppose i have 5 columns in file and i have to load only 3columns to table using IKM.
same thing can be achived using LKM file to teradata but i want use IKM.
please suggest me on this
Regards
Vinod

Hi,
I believe that the problem you are having is that you have a delimited file, of which you want to pick columns from position 2,3,5. In this case, ODI will pick the first 3 columns of a delimited file regardless of position.
For example, if you a tab delimited file with c1,c2,c3,c4,c5 columns, and you want only columns c2,c3,c5 - when mapping these in an ODI interface, and executing, you will actually pick up the data from c1,c2,c3 as these are the first three columns in the file (reading from left to right). You can ignore "columns" on the right hand side of a file, but not the left. E.g delimited file with c1,c2,c3,c4,c5. Only pick columns c1,c2 will give you data for the first 2 columns
Create a temporary table to load all the data from the file, and use you temp table to extract the data you require. Or you could get the file created with the first three columns as the columns you require.
Cheers
Bos

Building Database from .dbf files

Hello All,
I had to reinstall oracle software. But I have all the data\control\log files from previous installation.
So my question is, Can I rebuild my database from those files? If so, how?
All the installation directories are same as before. I don't know if this helps but just wanted to provide as much info as possible.
Thanks,
Satish

All your tablespace, user, grants, etc. information is stored within the system datafile, so if you install the Oracle server, then manually recreate the directory structure from your previous database (for example on NT, you'd create d:\oracle\oradata\your_sid\*.dbf
d:\oracle\admin\your_sid\pfile | bdump | etc...) then put the datafiles in the location where the control files says they should be, and your pfile points to the correct control files then it will be OK.
Your pfile will contain the location(s) of your control files. When you nomount the database, the instance will start and the pfile will find the location/locate the control file (this is why you recreate the control file in nomount mode); then when you mount the database, the control files are actually opened and read so the instance can locate the datafiles, identify the tablespaces, etc (this is why you have to put the control files in the location(s) specified in the pfile and datafiles, etc. back in the location specified in the control file). Then opening the database just basically validates everything and opens for use. As long as you don't specify SIZE or REUSE for the datafiles in the control file, and comment out everything after the CHARACTER SET listed in the control file and you still have the datafiles that contain data, you won't need anything like an import. You may need media recovery of some sort or experiment with incomplete recovery (if files are available) and open with resetlogs; but normally if you have an OracleService and you have a pfile, control files, and datafiles, everything will be there (user info and all is stored in the system datafile).
Hope this helps answer some of your questions. Anyway - you can try it and if it fails, you can always start over as long as you have a backup copy of your datafiles and controlfiles and pfile.

Jfmerge: [240]Failure loading colour palette from form file.

Hi All,
I need your help. I am new to JetForm and have to use it because of my work. Recently I have been assigned a task which is to amend an existing form, however, when I opened it with the JetForm Designer, it prompted me with message #4043 with following information:
The current settings for Symbol Set handling are different
from when the form was last saved.
Form: Convert is Yes,950,950
Current: Convert is Yes,1252,850
I skipped the warning message and just compile the MDF file directly without any changes. Then, I just got the "jfmerge: [240]Failure loading colour palette from form file." error message during the printing process. May I know how could I fix it? Please help and advise.
Thanks,
Charoite

Hello,
I have exactly same problem than you while opening an existing .ifd file :
The current settings for Symbol Set handling are different from when the template was last saved.
Template : Convert is No,936,850
Current : Convert is N0,1252,850
I suppose it is due to chinese characters (Simsun font) bad installed on my desktop, but it is only hypothesis.
Did you achieve to avoid this message since 05/2011 ?
