RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','i think this is the problem. DELIMITED should be ',' and TERMINATED must be NEWLINE

I don't think this is a SQLDeveloper issue. You will get better answers in the Database - General or perhaps SQL and PL/SQL forums.

I'm not sure, but maybe you should get rid of the redundancy that you have in your CREATE TABLE statement.
This line covers all fields:
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
{code}
So I would change the field list to:
{code}
DATE1 CHAR (10),
DATE2 CHAR (10),
POL_PRTY CHAR (30),
P_NAME CHAR (30),
P_ROLE CHAR (5)
{code}
It worked on my installation.

Note that I had to interchange the two lines:

Just to get the access parameters to parse correctly.
I added two empty lines, one in the middle and one at the end - both were rejected.

Oracle 11g - External Table/Remote File Issue?

Oracle 11g - External Table/Remote File Issue?
=============================
I hope this is the right forum for this issue, if not let me, where to go.
We are using Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1.0) on (Platform : solaris[tm] oe (64-bit)), Sql Developer 3.0.04
We are not allowed to put files on the CSV file system (Server A), where DB instance is running. We are able place CSV files on another server(Server B), where DB instance is not running.
We are trying to use oracle external table to load text files in .CSV format.
How do we create a Directory (Create Directory) on Server A DB to point to File system of Server B?
Is it feasible?
Any idea?
Thanks in helping.

The Solaris DBA should be able to mount the filesystem for you. Either that or you have to get creative transferring the file like this;

External table error in windows environment

Can i create external table from directory which is on network drive not on local server where oracle is intsalled. I am receiving follwoing error when I try to query external table poinittng to directory object on network drive in windows. Thanks
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout

ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", line 19

I suspect not. Copy the file to a local disk location, point the directory or a directory to it, update the external table definition if necessary, repeat. If this run works then you have your answer.

Oracle 9i External Tables

Helllo Everyone.
I am new to external tables concept and I have only used using flat files.
Is there a complete reference on on external tables somewhere?
Also, instead of .csv or text based datafiles, can I use XML as data source for these external tables? If so, how?
Thanks,
R

The link to the documentation has been already posted.
About the xml as a possible datasource, in Oracle9i only the ORACLE_LOADER driver is supported, it allows you to read data using SQL*Loader, that is to say only plain text files.
In Oracle10g a new driver has been added: ORACLE_DATAPUMP, it allows you to read with an external table a dump file created from other Oracle tables using the same ORACLE_DATAPUMP driver.
Unfortunately the ORACLE_DATAPUMP driver doesn't support the XMLTYPE datatype:
SQL> desc tbl_xml
Nome                                      Nullo?   Tipo
XML                                                PUBLIC.XMLTYPE

I have the directories INPUT_DIR and INPUT_LOGDIR defined, and read/write access granted to the user who creates the table and tried to query from it.
I have tried various combinations of VARCHAR2 lengths and NUMBER vs VARCHAR2 for some of the numeric fields.
I am not getting any Bad, Log or Discard files.
I can do a GET from the SQL prompt, and see the data:
SQL> GET 'C:\temp\input_dir'myfile.rpt'
and I see the data.
Windows 7
Oracle 11.2
I am not positive of the newline record delimiter - these files are generated by an automated system. Probably generated on a UNIX machine.
Any suggestions on what to try would be helpful.
KUP-04043 error message says to check the syntax .. .I am running out of thigns to check.
Thank you - Karen

And the get ( I created the sanitized file, so we have a real working, failing, santiized example):

Querying external tables ERROR no not English version 10g R2 ¿BUG 5172459?

Hello
I have a serious problem when trying to view the content of external tables under Oracle 10R2 in Spanish
Steps to perform:
1. Make directory on file system (in oracle server side).
2. Copy a data file into this directory.
3. Login (sqlplus) as "sys as sysdba"
4. Make one oracle directory object
5. Grant permits read / write to a user 'simple_uesr'
6. Logout sys, and login as 'simple_user'
7. Make a external table, which uses the directory and data file.
8. Run query 'select * from myExtTable' to check it.
I have repeated these steps on Oracle 9i Enterprise, Oracle 10gR2 Enterprise, and Oracle 10g XE, and always, always worked perfectly (no problems).
The problem occurs in the client's DB (Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.2.0 SPANISH), everything works fine until the step 8 (querying external tables), where systematically the following error occurs:
ERROR en línea 1:
ORA-29913: error al ejecutar la llamada de ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN
ORA-29400: error de cartucho de datos
KUP-00552: internal XAD package failed to load
ORA-06512: en "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", línea 19
I have made many tests, such as assigning a wrong directory to external table, remove the data file, remove access permissions, and always, always gives the same error, nerver error "file not found...etc, etc".
I have concluded that the failure, which occurs before Oracle even try to access the file system, but I do not know what may be the cause.
Searching the Internet, I found the following links:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_ora_29913_external_table_error.htm
http://zalbb.itpub.net/post/980/249423
Where mention the BUG 5172459 (MetaLink Note: 373168.1), but after follow the directions, still does not work.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thanks!

KUP-00552: internal XAD package failed to load
ORA-06512: en "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", línea 19Hola!
Let's go through errors you posted:
First error (ORA-29913) indicating error occurs when Oracle tryed to access external table.
Then ORA-29400 says that error has occurred in a data cartridge external procedure.
And then finally KUP-00552 - an error was encountered while attempting to initialize the XAD package.
So did you check state of the XAD package in that database?
Also, please post code you used in steps 4. and 7.

External table error (no data showing)

Hi Guys,
Need some help on my external table. I have an existing external table (MA_EXT) when I select the table no data is showing and there is no error in the log file and there is no bad file. The next thing I did to check if the error is in the file is to copy the same code and just rename the external table (MA_EXT2) and it worked just fine (data is showing no changes in the code just external table name). So the next step I did was to drop and recreate the external table (MA_EXT) but the same thing happened the data is not showing and no error in log file and no bad file.
BTW this is in 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit
Has anyone encountered this? TIA...

Either you are correct or Oracle is correct.
I bet Oracle is correct more often than you.
You are free to submit a Bug Report if you are sure that Oracle is mis-behaving.

I suspect not. Copy the file to a local disk location, point the directory or a directory to it, update the external table definition if necessary, repeat. If this run works then you have your answer.

Accesing windows files using oracle unix external tables.

Hi, I'm trying to access files on windows2k using oracle external tables on unix:
Oracle server on unix: oracle ver. is 9.2.0.6 and OS is 5.8 Generic_117000-03 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire
1. Created dir object on oracle unix pointing to windows path
2. created user
3. Assigned read and write privs on dir to user
4. created external table using dir step 1
5. select on external table
When I FTP the files into unix and recreate dir object, it works, but if I point dir object into windows path, it fails.
Is possible to do this?
Tks

Hi
The directory object must be accesible to your Database server, so if the Database is in unix you must create the directory in unix.
I don´t know software that allow unix systems to see a windows file system. Maybe windows can see unix from a samba server or NFS.

Regarding external table error

Hi,
I have created a csv file using excel as source, then I creaed a flat file module and imported the source.
Next I have created a external table for that file.
By using ssh I copied my source file (.csv file) to the server location ( By drag and drop method)
In the server it shows the file name as Income Source.csv file.
I deployed the external table.
When I am trying to opening the table it shows the message like
file not found in that location.
When I view the generated SQL of external table
in that query : the location the file name as Income_Source not Income Sourcce.csv ( I am thinking this might be the problem)
Please give me the suggestions.
Thanks,
Venkat

VenkatFile name should be exactly same as the filename in the directory.
Its a good practise to use filename as one string or have some char such as " _" to seperate two strings rather than have space such as INCOME SOURCE
i presume you have given permissions on the directory for owb to read the file.
