Load table to file

I did the following to create a csv file :
1) I created a EXCEL_FILE Data Server for the FILE technology
2) I created a EXCEL_FILE Physical Schema to declare the directory where the files are stored
3) I created a EXCEL_FILE Logical Schema
4) I associated the logical and physical for a context
5) I created a model based on a File Technology and a data store
6) I try to create an interface with a table source datastore and a File target datastore. ODI maps the two datastore with the IKM SQL Control Append and when I run the interface, it fails.
==> Can anyone explain to me how to load data to a file with ODI, please?
==> Why can't I get the IKM SQL to File Append
Thanks a lot

For a csv file, define it as in the File Technology.
Then in the Data Model, define the parameters of how
it it set up (headers, separators etc)
hen you will be able to use SQL to File append.
Don't forget to use a staging area different to
target, as the file technology is not capable of
hosting the staging tables (if any)Thanks for your answer.
==>> I don't knom how to set the headers parameters.
I used another RKM and LKM to load my excel file and it worked.

Not a perfectly framed question. How do you want to load the XML file? Hoping you want to parse the xml file and load it into a table you can do this.
This is the xml file
karthick% cat emp_details.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ROWSET>
<ROW>
<EMPNO>7782</EMPNO>
<ENAME>CLARK</ENAME>
<JOB>MANAGER</JOB>
<MGR>7839</MGR>
<HIREDATE>09-JUN-1981</HIREDATE>
<SAL>2450</SAL>

You can write a query like this.

How can I use sql loader to load a text file into a table

Hi, I need to load a text file that has records on lines tab delimited into a table. How would I be able to use the sql loader to do this? I am using korn shell to do this. I am very new at this...so any kind of helpful examples or documentation would be very appreciated. I would love to see some examples to help me understand if possible. I need help! Thanks alot!

You should check out the documentation on SQL*Loader in the online Oracle document titled Utilities. Here's a link to the 9iR2 version of it: http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/release2/server.920/a96652/part2.htm#436160
Hope this helps.

Loading Hex Files with multiple records with each line starting with : record marker, how do I load this hex file into a front panel table ? thanks in advance, Jeff.

I have written a routine that loads a Hex file, checks for record marker,length,address etc then loads the data into a table on front panel. However, my routine only loads single record hex files. I need to be able to load multiple record files, I need to identify the ':' colon record marker start for each record in the hex file, I just can't see how to loop my routine so that all records with ':' prefix marker are loaded.

Jeff,
I'm not exactly sure of what you are trying to do. Is it possible you could post your code, or a screen shot of the diagram in question, so that I can get a better understanding, and possibly offer some assistance?
I am familiar with hex files, but not with the : marker separating records. This may be able to be solved with simple text parsing, and as I am not familiar with how you are retrieving and/or displaying the files, I require more information.
Thanks

How can we load a flat file with very, very long lines into a table?

Hello:
We have to load a flat file with OWB. The problem is that each of the lines in the file might be up to 30.000 characters long (up to 1.000 units of information in each line, 30 characters long each)
Of course, our mapping should insert these units of information as independent rows in a table (1.000 rows, in our example).
We do not know how to go about it. We usually load flat files using table functions, but we am not sure that they will be able to cope with these huge lines. And how should we pivot those lines? Will the Pivot operator do the trick? Or maybe we should pivot those lines outside the database before loading them?
We are a bit lost. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Regards

Yes, well, we could define a 1.000 column external table, and then map those 1.000 columns to the Pivot operator… perhaps it would work. But we have been investigating a little bit, and we think that we have found a better solution: there is a unix utility called “fold”. This utility can split our 30.000 character lines in 1.000 lines, 30 characters long each: just what we needed. Then we can load the resulting file using an external table.
We think this is a much better solution that handling 1.000 columns in the external table and in the Pivot operator.
Thanks for your help.

How to load a XML file into a table

Hi,
I've been working on Oracle for many years but for the first time I was asked to load a XML file into a table.
As an example, I've found this on the web, but it doesn't work
Can someone tell me why? I hoped this example could help me.
the file acct.xml is this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
<HEADER>
<STATUS_CODE>100</STATUS_CODE>
<STATUS_REMARKS>check</STATUS_REMARKS>
</HEADER>
<DETAILS>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>2</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>3</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic administration</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>4</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic finance</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>5</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS>rp polytechnic logistics</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
</DETAILS>
<HEADER>
<STATUS_CODE>500</STATUS_CODE>
<STATUS_REMARKS>process exception</STATUS_REMARKS>
</HEADER>
<DETAILS>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>20</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS> base polytechnic</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>30</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>40</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS> base polytechnic finance</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
<DETAIL>
<SEGMENT_NUMBER>50</SEGMENT_NUMBER>
<REMARKS> base polytechnic logistics</REMARKS>
</DETAIL>
</DETAILS>
</ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
For the two tags HEADER and DETAILS I have the table:
create table xxrp_acct_details(
status_code number,
status_remarks varchar2(100),
segment_number number,
remarks varchar2(100)
before I've created a
create directory test_dir as 'c:\esterno'; -- where I have my acct.xml
and after, can you give me a script for loading data by using XMLTABLE?
I've tried this but it doesn't work:
DECLARE
acct_doc xmltype := xmltype( bfilename('TEST_DIR','acct.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8') );
BEGIN
insert into xxrp_acct_details (status_code, status_remarks, segment_number, remarks)
select x1.status_code,
        x1.status_remarks,
        x2.segment_number,
        x2.remarks
from xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
passing acct_doc
columns header_no      for ordinality,
          status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
          status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
) x1,
xmltable(
'$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS[$hn]/DETAIL'
passing acct_doc as "d",
          x1.header_no as "hn"
columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
          remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS'
) x2
END;
This should allow me to get something like this:
select * from xxrp_acct_details;
Statuscode status remarks segement remarks
100 check 2 rp polytechnic
100 check 3 rp polytechnic administration
100 check 4 rp polytechnic finance
100 check 5 rp polytechnic logistics
500 process exception 20 base polytechnic
500 process exception 30
500 process exception 40 base polytechnic finance
500 process exception 50 base polytechnic logistics
but I get:
Error report:
ORA-06550: line 19, column 11:
PL/SQL: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got NUMBER
ORA-06550: line 4, column 2:
PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
06550. 00000 - "line %s, column %s:\n%s"
*Cause:    Usually a PL/SQL compilation error.
and if I try to change the script without using the column HEADER_NO to keep track of the header rank inside the document:
DECLARE
acct_doc xmltype := xmltype( bfilename('TEST_DIR','acct.xml'), nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8') );
BEGIN
insert into xxrp_acct_details (status_code, status_remarks, segment_number, remarks)
select x1.status_code,
        x1.status_remarks,
        x2.segment_number,
        x2.remarks
from xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
passing acct_doc
columns status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
          status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
) x1,
xmltable(

passing acct_doc
columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
          remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS'
) x2
END;
I get this message:

My oracle version is 10gR2 Express Edition
I do need a script for loading xml files into a table as soon as possible, Give me please a simple example for understanding and that works on 10gR2 Express Edition
Thanks in advance!

The reason your first SQL statement
select x1.status_code,
        x1.status_remarks,
        x2.segment_number,
        x2.remarks
from xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
passing acct_doc
columns header_no      for ordinality,
          status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
          status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
) x1,
xmltable(
'$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS[$hn]/DETAIL'
passing acct_doc as "d",
          x1.header_no as "hn"
columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
          remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS'
) x2
returns the error you noticed
PL/SQL: ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected - got NUMBER
is because Oracle is expecting XML to be passed in. At the moment I forget if it requires a certain format or not, but it is simply expecting the value to be wrapped in simple XML.
Your query actually runs as is on 11.1 as Oracle changed how that functionality worked when 11.1 was released. Your query runs slowly, but it does run.
As you are dealing with groups, is there any way the input XML can be modified to be like
<ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
<ACCOUNT_GROUP>
<HEADER>....</HEADER>
<DETAILS>....</DETAILS>
</ACCOUNT_GROUP>
<ACCOUNT_GROUP>
<HEADER>....</HEADER>
<DETAILS>....</DETAILS>
</ACCOUNT_GROUP>
</ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK>
so that it is easier to associate a HEADER/DETAILS combination? If so, it would make parsing the XML much easier.
Assuming the answer is no, here is one hack to accomplish your goal
select x1.status_code,
        x1.status_remarks,
        x3.segment_number,
        x3.remarks
from xmltable(
'/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/HEADER'
passing acct_doc
columns header_no      for ordinality,
          status_code    number        path 'STATUS_CODE',
          status_remarks varchar2(100) path 'STATUS_REMARKS'
) x1,
xmltable(
'$d/ACCOUNT_HEADER_ACK/DETAILS'
passing acct_doc as "d",
columns detail_no      for ordinality,
          detail_xml     xmltype       path 'DETAIL'
) x2,
xmltable(
'DETAIL'
passing x2.detail_xml
columns segment_number number        path 'SEGMENT_NUMBER',
          remarks        varchar2(100) path 'REMARKS') x3
WHERE x1.header_no = x2.detail_no;
This follows the approach you started with. Table x1 creates a row for each HEADER node and table x2 creates a row for each DETAILS node. It assumes there is always a one and only one association between the two. I use table x3, which is joined to x2, to parse the many DETAIL nodes. The WHERE clause then joins each header row to the corresponding details row and produces the eight rows you are seeking.
There is another approach that I know of, and that would be using XQuery within the XMLTable. It should require using only one XMLTable but I would have to spend some time coming up with that solution and I can't recall whether restrictions exist in 10gR2 Express Edition compared to what can run in 10.2 Enterprise Edition for XQuery.

How to Load table from client file in C?

Hi all,
I'm trying to determine how to write a C program to load a client file with the "load table ... using client file..." syntax without calling out to the dbisql program to load the table. I'm probably not seeing the forest for the trees here. I know I can use the bulk api (equivalent of bcp) but would rather use the load table because it is much faster.
jason

There is nothing special to do - you execute the statement from your program just like any other SQL statement. The only thing to be aware of are the privilege/permission issues:
When loading from a file on a client computer:
READ CLIENT FILE privilege is also required for the database user.
Read privileges are required on the directory being read from.
The allow_read_client_file database option must be enabled.
The read_client_file secure feature must be enabled.
Revoking these privileges is also the only way you can prevent a user from executing the statement.

Loading a CSV file into a table

HTML DB Data Workshop has a feature to load a CSV file and create a table based on it.
I use a simplified version of this feature in my applications.
See a quick demo at
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=38131:1
Create a small csv file like
col1,col2,col3
varchar2(10),number,"number(10,2)"
cat,2,3.2
dog,99,10.4
The first line in the file are column names
Second line are their datatypes.
Save the file as c:\test.csv
Click the Browse button, search for this file.
Click the Submit button to upload and parse the file.
You can browse the file contents.
If you like what you see, type in a table name and click the Create Table button to create a table.
Let me know if anyone is interested and I can post the code.
Hope this helps.

Hi Vikas,
I tried to import your COOL application into html db at http://htmldb.oracle.com and got the error:

What should I change in the exported script in addition to change your workspace schema VIKASA or Scott's STUDIO_SHOWCASE to my NICED68?
Thanks!

Error loading local CSV file into external table

Hello,
I am trying to load a CSV file located on my C:\ drive on a WIndows XP system into an 'external table'. Everyting used to work correctly when using Oracle XE (iinstalled also locally on my WIndows system).
However, once I am trynig to load the same file into a Oracle 11g R2 database on UNIX, I get the following errr:
ORA-29913: Error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error

Please let me know if I can achieve the same functionality I had with Oracle XP.
(Note: I cannot use SQL*Loader approach, I am invoking Oracle stored procedures from VB.Net that are attempting to load data into external tables).

so pls suggest something else....Hang on, I'll go find you some glasses. I think you're having trouble reading.
First file : Control file truncates and loads data
Second file : Control file does not truncate and loads data
2 Calls to SQL*Loader
Is that a little clearer?
Are you saying there is a relationship between the data in the two files?
How do you know which last name relates to which first name in the first file? Is there a reference key between the records on the two files?
Perhaps you'd better show us an example of the contents of the files so we can see what you are trying to do.

How to load the .xml file list from 'C:\Drag_list\Modif into xmltype table?

Hi all experts,
I am in Oracle Enterprise Manager 11g 11.2.0.1.0.
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.1.0 Production on Tue Feb 22 11:40:23 2011
is there anyone know why
SQL> create or replace directory XMLDIR as '/xdb/faq/testdata'
2 /
SQL> set long 10000 pages 200 lines 150
SQL> --
SQL> select xmltype(bfilename('XMLDIR','2003.xml'),nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8'))
2 from dual
worked. but
SQL> create or replace directory XMLDIR as 'C:\Drag_list\Modified';
SQL> select xmltype(bfilename('XMLDIR','2011.xml'),nls_charset_id('AL32UTF8'))
from dual
did not work?
IS there any way I can load the .xml file list from 'C:\Drag_list\Modified' into xmltype table?
Thanks.

This is a question better suited for the sql and pl/sql support forum, since it is NOT an APEX based question..: PL/SQL

Loading an Excel file into a Z-Table

Hi Gurus,
Can somebody guide me how to load an excel file into a Z-Table.

Hi,
You need to write a ABAP code for this....
The following is the code for loading data into an internal table:
types: begin of ttab,
       rec(1000) type c,
       end of ttab.
types: begin of tdat,
       fld1(10) type c,
       fld2(10) type c,
       fld3(10) type c,
       end of tdat.
data: itab type table of ttab with header line.
data: idat type table of tdat with header line.
data: file_str type string.
parameters: p_file type localfile.
at selection-screen on value-request for p_file.
call function 'KD_GET_FILENAME_ON_F4'
       exporting
            static    = 'X'
       changing
            file_name = p_file.
start-of-selection.
file_str = p_file.
call function 'GUI_UPLOAD'
       exporting
            filename                = file_str
       tables
            data_tab                = itab
       exceptions
            file_open_error         = 1
            file_read_error         = 2
            no_batch                = 3
            gui_refuse_filetransfer = 4
            invalid_type            = 5
            no_authority            = 6
            unknown_error           = 7
            bad_data_format         = 8
            header_not_allowed      = 9
            separator_not_allowed   = 10
            header_too_long         = 11
            unknown_dp_error        = 12

            dp_out_of_memory        = 14
            disk_full               = 15
            dp_timeout              = 16
            others                  = 17.
delete itab index 1.
loop at itab.
    clear idat.
    split itab-rec at cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab
                          into idat-fld1
                               idat-fld2
                               idat-fld3.
    append idat.

Loading an XML file into the table without creating a directory .

Hi,
I wanted to load an XML file into a table column . But I should not create a directory in the server and placing the XML file there and giving the path in the insert query. Can anybody help me here?
Thanks in advance.

You could write a java stored procedure that retrieves the file into a clob. Wrap that in a function call and use it in your insert statement.
This solution require read privileges granted by sys and is therefore only feasible if the top-level directory/directories are known or you get read-access to everything.
