Mysterous error external table

I have defined a simple external table :
create table ext_tab_test (
a number
, b number
, c number
organization external (
default directory ext_dir
access parameters (
records delimited by newline
fields terminated by ';'
missing field values are null
location ('test')
reject limit unlimited
where ext_dir points to a directory on HP-UX with read, write permissions, and file "test" is owned by user oracle and all permissions to world.
Still I got the error:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-00552: internal XAD package failed to load
ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", line 19
I have Googled on the combination of KUP-00552 and ORA-06512, but I only got a single hit that is a page of Oracle Japan in Japanese.
I could not find any clue about the cause of this problem.
When I use ORACLE_DATAPUMP, I do not encounter any problems:
create table export_test2
organization external
( type oracle_datapump
default directory ext_dir
location ('test2') )
as select * from dual
create table import_test2
( dummy varchar2(1)
organization external
( type oracle_datapump
default directory ext_dir
location ('test2')
/

See MetaLink Note:373168.1
Cause
The issue is likely caused by Bug 5172459: 'KUP-00552 WHEN QUERYING EXTERNAL TABLES IN 10.2.0.2'
which is still open and active.
According to Bug 5172459, the problem appears to be that the messages file for external tables ( kup<lang>.msb ) for non-english systems
Solution
Need to replace the language specific (non-english) kup<lang>.msb file with the english version.
1. cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/mesg
2. Replace <lang> with your installed languages file.
mv KUP<lang>.msb to KUP<lang>.msb.BAK
3. Copy <us> version over current <lang> copy of kup msb file.
cp kupus.msb to KUP<lang>.msb
4. re-run the select against the external table

Hi everybody,

You are missing something. Most probably the file does not exists in your specified path. This is working in my 10.2.0.3

It would appear that you external table definition and the external data file data do not match up. Post a few input records so someone can duplicate the problem and determine the fix.

Error while querying the external tables in 9i

hope you would help me. i am greateful for that.

Arun,
Here are the things you could do.
1. You may want to specify a logfile in your access parameters using the command 'logfile'.
For example,
logfile 'info.log'. You could create the file in advance and provide appropriate permissions to the operating system user(In unix, I use the commands 'touch' and 'chmod').
2. You could specify the command
'NOLOGFILE' in your access parameters.
3. Provide permissions for the user to create files in the folder associated with the directory object 'aps_jul'.

How to ''give'' error for this case of an EXTERNAL TABLE?

Our external table routine works fine:
-- We have a csv file with 2 cols.
-- When we create the table referring the csv it works fine.
-- Even if the csv has more the 2 cols, the ET command only takes the 2 cols and it works fine.
-- Now, users are saying that if the csv has more than 2 cols, the ET command should give an error
I went through the command but cannot find any clause which will do this.
Is there any other way or workaround?
CREATE TABLE <table_name> (
<column_definitions>)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(TYPE oracle_loader
DEFAULT DIRECTORY <oracle_directory_object_name>
ACCESS PARAMETERS (
RECORDS DELIMITED BY newline
BADFILE <file_name>
DISCARDFILE <file_name>
LOGFILE <file_name>
[READSIZE <bytes>]
[SKIP <number_of_rows>
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '<terminator>'
REJECT ROWS WITH ALL NULL FIELDS
MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL
(<column_name_list>))\
LOCATION ('<file_name>'))
[PARALLEL]
REJECT LIMIT <UNLIMITED | integer>;
Is it possible to use the READSIZE?

I went through the command but cannot find any clause which will do this.
Is there any other way or workaround?I looked at Serverprocess' sql*loader script and did not see how that would answer your question - how to raise an error if the file has more than 2 columns. If I missed something can Serverprocess explain?
I can't think of a direct way to do this with your external table either, but there may be indirect ways. Some brainstorming ideas of perhaps dubious usefulness follow.
Placing a view over the external table can limit results to the first two columns but won't raise an error.
A pipelined function can read the external table, check for data where there shouldn't be any, and raise an exception when you find data in columns where there should not be any.
Similarly, you could ditch the external table and use utl_file to read the file, manually parsing and checking the data. LOTS more work but more control on your end. External tables are much easer to use :(
Or, first load the external table into a work table before the "real" select. Check the work table for the offending data programatically and raise an error if data is where it should not be. You could keep the existing external table and not have to do a lot of recoding.
Or, also load the data into an otherwise unneeded global temporary table first. Use a trigger on the load to look for the unwanted data and raise an error if offending data is there
These ideas are boiling down to variations on validating the data before you use it.
Good luck!

Where can we find that directory in the server. You have to provide for it's existence.
So you must create C:/Oracle on the server or have your ext_tab_dir point to some existing directory on the server (better if dedicated to external tables for not creating confusion)
You must also see to have read and write OS rights and have granted read (and write) privileges on directory ext_tab_dir to your_user_name
Regards
Etbin
If you can use utl_file try to use utl_file_dir as your ext_tab_dir to perform the test => copy your file to the directory your utl_file_dir is pointing to and do select * from test

    TYPE ORACLE_LOADER DEFAULT DIRECTORY TEST_DIR
    ACCESS PARAMETERS ( records delimited BY newline

I want to have in the XML_DATA_COLUMN the content of myfile.xml so as to handle it by using extract and extractvalue functions.

The examples in the following thread include an insert, but you could also use the select statement alone without the insert.

Error while importing external table

Hello,
I am getting the following error message when trying to import an external table:
SQL Exception
SQL Exception
Repository Error:SQL Exception..
Class Name: CacheMediator.
Method Name: getDDEntryFromDB.
Repository Error Message: ORA-22992: cannot use LOB locators selected from remote tables
I am using the "import..."- function of "external tables" in warehouse target module. The external table is working correctly when accessing it via sqlplus.
We are using owb version 10.2.0.1.
Any help would be appreciated.
Best regards
Alexander

My friends, this a documented BUG into Metalink, but there is no solution.
I used a simple workaround:
1. I created the external table into the database;
2. I created the external table into the OWB repository;
3. I DIDN'T DEPLOY THE EXTERNAL TABLE TO THE DATABASE;
4. I used the external table into my mappings with no problems;
5. Finishing, I deployed my mappings to the database without any errors.
Hope to help!,
Gustavo.

===========================
In the error it is showing that file expense_categories.csv in SOURCE_LOCATION not found but I am 100% sure that file is very much there.
Is anybody face the same issue?
Do we need to configure something before loading data from a flat file from OWB Client?
Any help would higly appreciable.
Regards,
Manmohan Sharma

Hi Detlef / Gowtham,
Now I am able to fetch data from flat files from OWB Server as well as OWB Client.
One way I have achieved as suggested by you
1) Creating location on the OWB Client
2) Samples the files at client
3) Created & Configured external table
4) Copy all flat files on OWB Server
5) Updated the location which I created at the client.
Other way
1) Creating location on the OWB Client
2) Samples the files at client
3) Created & Configured external table
4) Copied flat files on the sever in same drive & directory . like if my all flat files are on C:\data at OWB Client then I copied flat file C:\data on the OWB Server. But this is feasible for Non-Windows.
Hence my problem solved.
Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Manmohan

Error while loading data into External table from the flat files

HI ,
We have a data load in our project which feeds the oracle external tables with the data from the Flat Files(.bcp files) in unix.
While loading the data, we are encountering the following error.
Error occured (Error Code : -29913 and Error Message : ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout

Please let us know what needs to be done in this case to solve this problem.
Thanks,

Thanks in Advance,

Let's start with the basics...
1) You state that you are getting an error. What error do you get? Is this an Oracle error (i.e. ORA-xxxxx)? If so, please include the error number and the error message as well as the triggering statement. Or is the problem that rows are getting written to the reject file and errors are being written to the log file? If so, what record(s) are being rejected and what are the reasons given in the log file? Or perhaps the problem is something else?
2) You state that you are quite sure that the problem relates to the hilighted code. What makes you quite sure of this?
