  • How to overwrite a log and bad file in external table in oracle 10g

    Hi,
    I have used external table in oracle 10g.whenever use select query in external table orace internally create one log file in specified directory,
    but this log file is growing.How can i overwrite the log file(old to replace with new).I need overwrite a log and bad file in external table.
    kindly give the solutions.
    By
    Siva

    I don't believe that is possible with the LOGFILE clause, but it may be with the BADFILE clause. Here is an excerpt from the documentation :
    The LOGFILE clause names the file that contains messages generated by the external tables utility while it was accessing data in the datafile. If a log file already exists by the same name, the access driver reopens that log file and appends new log information to the end. This is different from bad files and discard files, which overwrite any existing file. NOLOGFILE is used to prevent creation of a log file.
    If you specify LOGFILE, you must specify a filename or you will receive an error.
    If neither LOGFILE nor NOLOGFILE is specified, the default is to create a log file. The name of the file will be the table name followed by _%p and it will have an extension of .log.

  • Can we cleanse and transform data at flat file or external table level?

    Hi,
    I have some data that I want to cleanse and transform. I don't want to cleanse it after i populate the external table, I want to get done with it at flat file level or while populating the external table. Can we cleanse and transform data at flat file or external table level through Oracle or OWB 11.2? Is it possible to run a conditional load (i.e. having a where clause or if-else-then) for an external table? Can we call oracle functions for an external table at the time of creation?
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Ann.

    Hi Oleg,
    Thanks a lot for the clarification. :)
    So is there a way that I can clease the data within the text file through Oracle or OWB? I have datatype mismatches in the data and most of my data is getting rejected because of that. The way I can think of, for solving this problem, is to create the external table with all fields with datatype varchar and then cleansing the data. But it doesn't seem very effecient plus it will get very complicated because I have almost 80-90 fields.
    Any help?
    Thanks and regards,
    Ann.

  • How to read any file using external tables.

    Hi folks,
    I have written an application that reads a series of csv files using external tables which works fine as long as I specify each file name in the directory i.e.......
    CREATE TABLE gb_test
    (file_name varchar2(10),
    rec_date date
    rec_name VARCHAR2(20),
    rec_age number,
    ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
    TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
    DEFAULT DIRECTORY GB_TEST
    ACCESS PARAMETERS
    RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
    LOCATION ('data1.csv','data2.csv','data3.csv','data4.csv')
    PARALLEL 5
    REJECT LIMIT 20000;
    However I have discovered that I may not know the name of the files to be processed prior to the program being run so just want to read any file regardless of it's name (although it will always be a .csv file).
    Is there a way to ensure that you don't need to specify the files to be read in the LOCATION part of the syntax.
    Thanks in advance.
    Graham.

    Right, I have now completed this, however it's currently only working as SYS as opposed to any user, however here is a detail of the scenario and the steps required in case any of you guys need in the future ......
    The problem was I needed to search for csv files on my hard-drive. These files would be stored in a series of directories (a through to z), so I needed a way to read all 26 directories and process all files in these directories.
    The problem was, prior to running the program, the user would remove all the files in the directories and insert new ones, but it was never known how many he would decide to do each time.
    Solution: I created a table called stock_data_directories as follows ...
    create table stock_data_directories(sdd_rec_no number,
    sdd_table_name varchar2(50),
    sdd_directory_name varchar2(50),
    sdd_directory_path varchar2(100));
    Then inserted 26 records like ...
    insert into stock_data_directories(sdd_rec_no,sdd_table_name,sdd_directory_name,sdd_directory_path)
    values(1,'rawdata_a','KPOLLOCKA','C:\KPOLLOCK\A')
    insert into stock_data_directories(sdd_rec_no,sdd_table_name,sdd_directory_name,sdd_directory_path)
    values(2,'rawdata_b','KPOLLOCKB','C:\KPOLLOCK\B');
    etc...etc...
    Then created 26 DIRECTORIES E.G.
    CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY KPOLLOCKA AS 'C:\KPOLLOCK\A';
    CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY KPOLLOCKB AS 'C:\KPOLLOCK\B';
    Then created 26 external tables like the following ...
    CREATE TABLE rawdata_a
    (stock varchar2(1000),
    stock_date varchar2(10),
    stock_open VARCHAR2(20),
    stock_high varchar2(20),
    stock_low varchar2(20),
    stock_close VARCHAR2(30),
    stock_qty varchar2(20) )
    ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
    TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
    DEFAULT DIRECTORY KPOLLOCKA
    ACCESS PARAMETERS
    RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
    LOCATION ('AA.csv')
    PARALLEL 5
    REJECT LIMIT 20000
    This basically says in directory rawdata_a it currently has 1 file called AA.csv.
    Then wrote a procedure as follows ...
    procedure p_process_files(pv_return_message OUT varchar2)is
    cursor c_get_stock_data_directories is
    select distinct sdd_directory_path,
    sdd_table_name
    from stock_data_directories
    order by sdd_table_name;
    vv_return_message varchar2(1000);
    begin
    -- here get the files for each directory
    for r_get_stock_directories in c_get_stock_data_directories loop
    p_build_external_table(r_get_stock_directories.sdd_directory_path,
         r_get_stock_directories.sdd_table_name,
         vv_return_message);
    end loop;
    end;
    then wrote a procedure called p_build_external_table as follows ...
    procedure p_build_external_table(pv_directory_path IN stock_data_directories.sdd_directory_path%type, -- e.g. 'C:\kpollock\A\
    pv_table_name IN stock_data_directories.sdd_table_name%type, -- e.g. rawdata_a
    pv_return_message OUT varchar2) is
    vv_pattern VARCHAR2(1024);
    ns VARCHAR2(1024);
    vv_file_name varchar2(4000);
    vv_start_string varchar2(1) := '''';
    vv_end_string varchar2(3) := ''',';
    vn_counter number := 0;
    vv_err varchar2(2000);
    BEGIN
    vv_pattern := pv_directory_path||'*';
    SYS.DBMS_BACKUP_RESTORE.searchFiles(vv_pattern, ns);
    FOR each_file IN (SELECT FNAME_KRBMSFT AS name FROM X$KRBMSFT) LOOP
    if each_file.name like '%.CSV' then
    vv_file_name := vv_file_name||vv_start_string||substr(each_file.name,instr(each_file.name,'\',1,3)+1)||vv_end_string;
         vn_counter := vn_counter + 1;
    end if;
    END LOOP;
    vv_file_name := substr(vv_file_name,1,length(vv_file_name)-1); -- remove final , from string
    execute immediate 'alter table '||pv_table_name||' location('||vv_file_name||')';
    pv_return_message := 'Successfully changed '||pv_table_name||' at '||pv_directory_path||' to now have '||to_char(vn_counter)||' directories';
    exception
    when others then
    vv_err := sqlerrm;
    pv_return_message := ' Error found updating directories. Error = '||vv_err;
    END;
    This reads every file in the directory and appends it to a list, so if it finds A.csv and ABC.csv, then using the dynamic sql, it alters the location to now read 'a.csv','abc.csv',
    It ignores all other file extentions.

  • How to read specific lines from a text file using external table or any other method?

    Hi,
    I have a text file with delimited data, I have to pick only odd number rows and load into a table...
    Ex:
    row1:  1,2,2,3,3,34,4,4,4,5,5,5,,,5  ( have to load only this row)
    row2:   8,9,878,78,657,575,7,5,,,7,7
    Hope this is enough..
    I am using Oracle 11.2.0 version...
    Thanks

    There are various ways to do this.  I would be inclined to use SQL*Loader.  That way you can load it from the client or the server and you can use a SQL*Loader sequence to preserve the row order in the text file.  I would load the whole row as a varray into a staging table, then use the TABLE and MOD functions to load the individual numbers from only the odd rows.  Please see the demonstration below.

  • XML File in External Table - OS error permission denied.

    Hi.
    10g R2, Red Hat Linux
    I'm using the article (see below, taken from http://www.dbazine.com/olc/olc-articles/scardina1 by Mark Scardina) to create an external table where I'd store my XML file.
    So, I
    1. Created a directory xmlfile_dir
    2. Granted access to needed db user
    3. Created the table
    CREATE TABLE relayxml_xt (doc CLOB)

    LOCATION ('xml.dat')
    REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
    4. mv relay.xml /xmlfile_dir/xml.dat
    When I run SELECT * FROM relayxml_xt I get this:
    Error starting at line 1 in command:

    Using External Tables
    Introduced in Oracle9i, Oracle’s external table feature offers a solution to define a table in the database while leaving the data stored outside of the database. Prior to Oracle Database 10g, external tables can be used only as read-only tables. In other words, if you create an external table for XML files, these files can be queries and the table can be joined with other tables. However, no DML operations, such as INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE, are allowed on the external tables.
    Note: In Oracle Database 10g , by using the ORACLE_DATAPUMP driver instead of the default ORACLE_DRIVER, you can write to external tables. In Oracle Database 10g, you can define VARCHAR2 and CLOB columns in external tables to store XML documents. The following example shows how you can create an external table with a CLOB column to store the XML documents. First, you need to create a DIRECTORY to read the data files:
    CREATE DIRECTORY data_file_dir AS 'D:\xmlbook\Examples\Chapter9\src\xml';
    GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY data_file_dir TO demo;
    Then, you can use this DIRECTORY to define an external table:
    CREATE TABLE customer_xt (doc CLOB)
    ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
    TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
    DEFAULT DIRECTORY data_file_dir
    ACCESS PARAMETERS
    FIELDS (lobfn CHAR TERMINATED BY ',')
    COLUMN TRANSFORMS (doc FROM lobfile (lobfn))
    LOCATION ('xml.dat')
    REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
    The xml.dat file follows:
    customer1.xml
    customer2.xml
    If you describe the table, you can see the following definition:
    SQL> DESC customer_xt;
    Name Null? Type
    DOC CLOB
    Then, you can query the XML document as follows:
    SELECT XMLType(doc).extract('/Customer/EMAIL')
    FROM customer_xt;
    Though the query requires run-time XMLType creation and XPath evaluation, this approach is useful when applications just need a few queries on the XML data and don’t want to upload the XML data into database. In Oracle Database 10g, you cannot create external tables that contain pre-defined XMLType column types.

    Your don't have the proper operating system privileges. Be sure that you (=oracle OS user / the OS Linux user that is starting the database) are allowed have read privs on the path and/or file.
    for example...
    chown -Rf /xxxxxxx/xxxx/etc
    ls -l file.xml
    file.xml    oracle:oinstall    rw-rw-rw

  • Prblem white handle files using External tables

    Hi,
    I Created an external table to handle files.
    Its working fine.
    But it is rejecting the records, where the fnal column in a record contains no (null) value.
    The data is as follows.
    empno|name|positon
    184|abc|supervisor
    185|xyz|
    186|efg|clerk
    I have given '\n' as row delimiter. and '|' as field delimiter.
    For the above data I am getting only the 1st and 3rd records only.
    External tables are not accepting the 2nd re4cord.
    In the log file it is specifying the error as "KUP-04023: field start is after end of record".
    Could anyone please give me some idea to solve this problem.
    Thank you,
    Regards,
    Gowtham Sen.

    Hi Michaels,
    I have one more doubt.
    After I added the clause "MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL", its working fine.
    Case 1:
    The data is as follows.
    empno|name|positon
    184|abc|supervisor
    185|xyz|
    186|efg|clerk
    Now I am getting the data while query the external table as follows
    empno name position
    184 abc supervisor
    185 xyz <null>
    186 efg clerk
    Case 2:
    But there is a case that the data my come in the following way.
    empno|name|positon
    184|abc|supervisor
    185|xyz|
    186|efg|clerk
    18
    187
    For this data I am getting the data if I query external table as follows.
    empno name position
    184 abc supervisor
    185 xyz <null>
    186 efg clerk
    18 <null> <null>
    187 <null> <null>
    Here I would like to result the last records because, the records violated the formating. But its not doing as I expected.
    Do I need to add any other clauses.
    Thanks in advance,
    Thank you,

  • Unable to read chinese characters in a flat file to external table

    Hi All,
    We have a flat file containing data in chinese. We are using external table to read data in files. When i do select <coulmn-name> from <table> it displays box for the chinese characters. The column is of type varchar2.
    The NLS_LANGUAGE is AMERICAN and NLS_CHARACTERSET is AL32UTF8.
    The character set is mentioed as UTF8 in external table defnition.
    Is the external table not reading these charcters properly? Should any patch be installed or some settings should be changed for sql developer to to display chinese character?

    The NLS_LANG environment variable/registry string variable (You are just one of the 1000s of 'anonymous' users refusing to post platform and version), so NOT NLS_LANGUAGE, on the server hosting the file, should be set to anything ending in .AL32UTF8

    REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
    on the first line of the aaa.text (its a report), it shows something like:
    Sat Dec 29                                                                Page 1
    but when I do select * from u_x , the result shows:
    Sat Dec 29 Page 1
    all above is done in sql workshop /sql command in APEX 4.2.1 (db 10.2.0.5)
    Is there any way to preserve the spaces between "29" and "Page"?
    (the result compressed all spaces in-between to 1 space).
    I think the ideal way is to invoke client's notepad to open the server's text file.
    anyway to generate the link?
    Thanks

    Well, I have tried to download the file using below procedure.
    create or replace PROCEDURE download_bfile (
          directory_in   IN   VARCHAR2,
          file_in        IN   VARCHAR2
       AS
          lob_loc    BFILE;
          v_mime     VARCHAR2 (48);
          v_length   NUMBER(16);
       BEGIN
          lob_loc := BFILENAME (UPPER (directory_in), file_in);
          v_length := DBMS_LOB.getlength (lob_loc);
          -- set up HTTP header
          -- use an NVL around the mime type and
          -- if it is a null set it to application/octect
          -- application/octect may launch a download window from windows
          OWA_UTIL.mime_header (nvl(v_mime, 'application/octet'), FALSE);
          -- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
          HTP.p ('Content-length: ' || v_length);
          -- the filename will be used by the browser if the users does a save as
          HTP.p (   'Content-Disposition:attachment; filename="'
                 || SUBSTR (file_in, INSTR (file_in, '/') + 1)
                 || '";'
          -- close the headers
          OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
          -- download the BLOB
          WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file (lob_loc);
          apex_application.stop_apex_engine;
       END download_bfile;
    I run it inside sql command in apex, but it does not show a pop window to save the file,
    it displays the whole text content of the file in the result window.
    Any idea why the save-as window does not pop up?
    thanks,
    John.
