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.

Right-clicking "data" on the model tab can you see the data?
In your code there's written:
P$CRLOAD_FILE=Y:/1 Metadata/Account//Account.csv
Is it right the double slash before the file name?

Loading data from two flat files into one table

Hi All,
I want to load few fields from one file and few fields from another file and load the data into one table in the database.
For Ex: I have two flat files file1.csv and file2.csv and file1.csv containes 25 columns and file2.csv containes 12 columns, i want to load 20 columns from file1.csv and 7 columns from file2.csv into the table
how to combine the columns from both the files and load them into one table at a time?
Any help is appriciated
Thanks
R.G

Use external tables.
If using Oracle9 or higher connect both your csv with database as separate external tables and load the requited fields in new/requited table.

Loading Data From a Text File Through an Application into Oracle

Hi There,
I have a web application that allows the user to upload a text file. This file is then processed by my application. Each line in the file is a new row I need to insert into my table.
Currently, I batch 200 updates together and insert them into the DB.
For about 3 million records this is taking much longer than I would like it to.
Any suggestions for optimization?
thanks.

I put here a simplest demo (file has whitespace)
I think it may help to start.
--Structure of your file test1.dat (put in your directory)
a1 b1
a2 b2

--GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY test_dir TO your_user
--external table:
DROP TABLE test_ext

Need help to load data from PSA TO deta targets

Hello BW Gurus,
I have done the INIT for 2LSI_11_VAHDR and data target I have selected is OSD_CO3. after doing INIT I realized that I have other two ODS which I want select as data target with same datasource.
My question is
1) Is it possible / recommended to create another infopackage and do the INIT for pending ODS.
2) If I want to add the remaining two ODS in existing
request, can you please suggest me how I can do that.
Thank you very much
Krish

Hi Krish,
I don't think it is necessary to create another InfoPack to load the other two DataTargets(ODS. Instead you can delete the Initialization for source systems from the cube and then delete the same from the InfoPack (scheduler option -->Init for Source system) and then check the other two ODS as Datatargets and then schedule with Initialization option.
Otherwise also you can create IPack for the 2 ODS as datatargets and then do the Init. But i prefer the 1st way unless you have huge data in the cube for the init request.
Hope it helps...
Best Regards,
DMK

Is there away to load data from a text file to a table?

I have data stored in filename.txt and I want to load those data into a table on the front pannel of vi. How can I do that?

Se;
If the text file is already in an spreadsheet format, you can download the VI Read Strings From Spreadsheet File from my website:
http://www.jyestudio.com/lview.shtml
It is the suggested modification of the VI Read From Spreadsheet File that comes with LabVIEW, as stated in the diagram.
If the text file is not in spreadsheet format, then you need to write your own code to make the string table suitable for the table.

How to import data from a text file into a table

Hello,
I need help with importing data from a .csv file with comma delimiter into a table.
I've been struggling to figure out how to use the "Import from Files" wizard in Oracle 10g web-base Enterprise Manager.
I have not been able to find a simple instruction on how to use the Wizard.
I have looked at the Oracle Database Utilities - Overview of Oracle Data Pump and the Help on the "Import: Files" page.
Neither one gave me enough instruction to be able to do the import successfully.
Using the "Import from file" wizard, I created a Directory Object using the Create Directory Object button. I Copied the file from which i needed to import the data into the Operating System Directory i had defined in the Create Directory Object page. I chose "Entire files" for the Import type.
Step 1 of 4 is the "Import:Re-Mapping" page, I have no idea what i need to do on this page. All i know i am not tying to import data that was in one schema into a different schema and I am not importing data that was in one tablespace into a different tablespace and i am not R-Mapping datafiles either. I am importing data from a csv file.
For step 2 of 4, "Import:Options" page, I selected the same directory object i had created.
For step 3 of 4, I entered a job name and a description and selected Start Immediately option.
What i noticed going through the wizard, the wizard never asked into which table do i want to import the data.
I submitted the job and I got ORA-31619 invalid dump file error.
I was sure that the wizard was going to fail when it never asked me into which table do i want to import the data.
I tried to use the "imp" utility in command-line window.
After I entered (imp), i was prompted for the username and the password and then the buffer size as soon as i entered the min buffer size I got the following error and the import was terminated:
C:\>imp

Please show me the easiest way to import a text file into a table. How complex could it be to do a simple import into a table using a text file?
We are testing our application against both an Oracle database and a MSSQLServer 2000 database.
I was able to import the data into a table in MSSQLServer database and I can say that anybody with no experience could easily do an export/import in MSSQLServer 2000.
I appreciate if someone could show me how to the import from a file into a table!
Thanks,
Mitra

How can I import data from a csv file into databse using utl_file?

Hi,
I have two machines (os is windows and database is oracle 10g) that are not connected to each other and both are having the same database schema but data is all different.
Now on one machine, I want to take dump of all the tables into csv files. e.g. if my table name is test then the exported file is test.csv and if the table name is sample then csv file name is sample.csv and so on.
Now I want to import the data from these csv files into the tables on second machine. if I've 50 such csv files, then data should be written to 50 tables.
I am new to this. Could anyone please let me know how can I import data back into tables. i can't use sqlloader as I've to satisfy a few conditions while loading the data into tables. I am stuck and not able to proceed.
Please let me know how can I do this.
Thanks,
Shilpi

Why you want to export into .csv file.Why not export/import? What is your oracle version?

I need how to load data from MS Excel(csv format) to NW Excel

Hi,
I am doing Migration project from SAP MS to NW Manually.
I need how to load data from MS excel (csv format) to NW excel .
For example 2008 budget data.
Could you please help me in this.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
You need to create a transformation file and a conversion file if required. First upload the excel (csv) file into BPC using Manage Data and Upload File option.
Create the transformation file (refer to the sap help on how to define a transformation file). You need to specify the mapping correctly and include all your application dimensions and map them to appropriate columns of the flat file.
Before running the import package, do validate the data in the flat file you uploaded into BPC with the transformation file you created.
Thanks,
Sreeni

I need to import data from a CSV file to an Oracle table

I need to import data from a CSV file to an Oracle table. I'd prefer to use either SQL Developer or SQL Plus code.
As an example, my target database is HH910TS2, server is ADDb0001, my dB login is em/em, the Oracle table is AE1 and the CSV file is AECSV.
Any ideas / help ?

And just for clarity, it's good to get your head around some basic concepts...

I'd prefer to use either SQL Developer or SQL Plus code.SQL Developer is a GUI front end that submits code to the database and displays the results. It does not have any code of it's own (although it may have some "commands" that are SQL Developer specific)
SQL*Plus is another front end (character based rather than GUI) that submits code to the database and displays the results. It also does not have code of it's own although there are SQL*Plus commands for use only in the SQL*Plus environment.
The "code" that you are referring to is either SQL or PL/SQL, so you shouldn't limit yourself to thinking it has to be for SQL Developer or SQL*Plus. There are many front end tools that can all deal with the same SQL and/or PL/SQL code. Focus on the SQL and/or PL/SQL side of your coding and don't concern yourself with limitations of what tool you are using. We often see people on here who don't recognise these differences and then ask why their code isn't working when they've put SQL*Plus commands inside their PL/SQL code. ;)

How to load data from a flat file which is there in the application server

HI All,
how to load data from a flat file which is there in the application server..

Hi,
Firstly you will need to place the file(s) in the AL11 path. Then in your infopackage in "Extraction" tab you need to select "Application Server" option. Then you need to specify the path as well as the exact file you want to load by using the browsing button.
If your file name keeps changing on a daily basis i.e. name_ddmmyyyy.csv, then in the Extraction tab you have the option to write an ABAP routine that generates the file name. Here you will need to append sy-datum to "name" and then append ".csv" to generate complete filename.
Please let me know if this is helpful or if you need any more inputs.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi,
Here are the basic steps needed to read data from excel spreadsheet using the Java Excel API(jExcel API).
jExcel API can read a spreadsheet from a file stored on the local file system or from some input stream, ideally the following should be the steps while reading:
Create a workbook from a file on the local file system, as illustrated in the following code fragment:
          import java.io.File;
          import java.util.Date;
          import jxl.*;
         Workbook workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(new File("test.xls"));
On getting access to the worksheet, once can use the following code piece to access individual sheets. These are zero indexed - the first sheet being 0, the second sheet being 1, and so on. (You can also use the API to retrieve a sheet by name).
          Sheet sheet = workbook.getSheet(0);
After getting the sheet, you can retrieve the cell's contents as a string by using the convenience method getContents(). In the example code below, A1 is a text cell, B2 is numerical value and C2 is a date. The contents of these cells may be accessed as follows
Cell a1 = sheet.getCell(0,0);
Cell b2 = sheet.getCell(1,1);
Cell c2 = sheet.getCell(2,1);
String a1 = a1.getContents();
String b2 = b2.getContents();
String c2 = c2.getContents();
// perform operations on strings
However in case we need to access the cell's contents as the exact data type ie. as a numerical value or as a date, then the retrieved Cell must be cast to the correct type and the appropriate methods called. The code piece given below illustrates how JExcelApi may be used to retrieve a genuine java double and java.util.Date object from an Excel spreadsheet. For completeness the label is also cast to it's correct type. The code snippet also illustrates how to verify that cell is of the expected type - this can be useful when performing validations on the spreadsheet for presence of correct datatypes in the spreadsheet.
String a1 = null;
Double b2 = 0;
Date c2 = null;
                    Cell a1 = sheet.getCell(0,0);
                    Cell b2 = sheet.getCell(1,1);
                    Cell c2 = sheet.getCell(2,1);
                    if (a1.getType() == CellType.LABEL)
                       LabelCell lc = (LabelCell) a1;
                       stringa1 = lc.getString();
                     if (b2.getType() == CellType.NUMBER)
                       NumberCell nc = (NumberCell) b2;
                       numberb2 = nc.getValue();
                      if (c2.getType() == CellType.DATE)
                        DateCell dc = (DateCell) c2;
                        datec2 = dc.getDate();
                       // operate on dates and doubles
It is recommended to, use the close() method (as in the code piece below)   when you are done with processing all the cells.This frees up any allocated memory used when reading spreadsheets and is particularly important when reading large spreadsheets.
          // Finished - close the workbook and free up memory
          workbook.close();
The API class files are availble in the 'jxl.jar', which is available for download.

Raghu
