PL/SQL Package importing from Flat Data files

Looking for sample PL/SQL package in importing data from flat data files into Oracle. Possible using the UTL_FILE.FOPEN and UTL_FILE.GET_LINE functions ?

SQL Loader is tailor-made for importing data from flat-files.
There's way less code to write and it is usually faster than coded approach so this may be better solution for you, depending on details of your situation.
See docs: http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/doc_library/817_doc/server.817/a76955/ch03.htm#2436

How to create a .mdf SQL Server database from a Data-Tier Application file that has data?

This is a noob question, though I do use SQL Server databases all the time with Entity Framework when I code in C# using Visual Studio 2013. The development environment is found below at [A]. I am trying to make a clone of a SQL Server 2008 R2
database (.mdf) that exists online. I can read, connect and work with this database in Visual Studio 2013, but I wish to make a local copy of the database, as an .MDF file. Somewhere in my notes I have a way of creating a local copy from
an online database when using Visual Studio but I forgot how (it seems, reviewing my notes, that it deals with ADO.NET which is deprecated in Visual Studio 2013 these days, or so it seems). So I'm looking for another way. What I did was create
(or export) a "Data-Tier Application File" from the online SQL Server database, with data, and it seems to have worked in that this Data-Tier Application file exists on my hard drive and seems to have data in it ("SQL Server Replication Snapshot"
is the format it seems). It contains skeleton code to create a database, but when I tried to execute it with SQL Server 2014 Management Studio, I got a bunch of errors.
So my question is:
1) Can I somehow create a .MDF SQL Server Database from an Data-Tier Application file that has data? What tool do I use? I saw this link, http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/2639.how-to-use-data-tier-application-import-and-export-with-a-windows-azure-sql-database.aspx
and it relates to Azure, but is there a tool for C#Visual Studio 2013, standalone?
2) If there's an easy way to create a .mdf SQL Server Database file from an online file, within SQL Server Management Studio? I don't think so, since it would require Administrator permissions on the online server, which I don't have. I have permission
to read, update, delete the online database file, but strangely not to download it (the service I use has a tool for backup, but not for download).
3) same question as 2), but for Visual Studio 2013? I don't think so, since I notice none of the templates even mentions ADO.NET anymore, but instead they go with Entity Framework. Using EF I can of course do anything I want with the online database
(CRUD), but it remains online. Maybe there's a switch to make a local copy? I guess I could write a short program to suck all the data out of the online database and put it into a new, duplicate database having the same tables, that I create on
my localhost, but my question here is if there's an easier way than this, maybe a tool or command I can run from inside Visual Studio?
Any advice on any of the above questions is appreciated.
Thank you,

Thanks but these links are too general to help.
"2. what do you mean by online file?" - I mean the SQL Server database file is on a remote web server that I rent from, but I am not the administrator of. I can access my database using SQL Server Authentication, but nothing more.
Paul
What do you mean by too general? It explains on how you can use data tier application to create and deploy databases
May be this will help you to understand better

Importing From Flat File with Dynamic Columns

HI
I am using ssis 2008,i have folder in which I have Four(4) “.txt” files each file will have 2 columns(ID, NAME). I loaded 4
files in one destination, but today I receive one more “.txt” file here we have 3 columns (ID, NAME, JOB) how can I get a message new column will receive in source. And how can I create in extra column in my destination table dynamically …please help me

Hi Sasidhar,
You need a Script Task to read the names and number of columns in the first row of the flat file each time and store it in a variable, then create a staging table dynamically based on this variable and modify the destination table definition if one ore more
new columns need to be added, and then use the staging table to load the destination table. I am afraid there is no available working script for your scenario, and you need some .NET coding experience to achieve your goal. Here is an example you can refer
to:

Import Outlook Express from only data files

I am working with a person who recently bought a new Mac. She has a complete backup image of her old hard drive saved on DVD but she has already gotten rid of the old Mac. On her old Mac, she used OS 9 and Outlook Express for E-mail. She had several hundred messages saved that she wants imported into Mail in OS X. However when I go to import the Outlook mailboxes, Mail says "Outlook and Classic will be started." Is it actually necessary that I install Classic support, install Outlook Express inside Classic, and drop in the data files, simply to import the mailboxes? The messages are obviosuly contained in one file named "Messages" in the previous /Documents/Microsoft Userdata/Identities/Main Identity folder - the "Messagse" file is somewhere along the lines of 200MB in size. Also, what will I do when Intel macs start to hit the streets that can't even boot Classic in the first place? Are there other OS-X only ways to import Outlook Express data files into Mail?

Before going for any third party utility, I think you should try the free Outlook Express basic repair kit provided by Microsoft, which include:
Deletion of temporary internet files
Compacting all folders
Re-register Outlook Express and its libraries
For more: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2398839
If you does not find any of these above given solutiona helpful, then you can for any third party recovery solution (as you can Google it)

Problem with ArrayLists and writing and reading from a .dat file (I think)

I'm brand new to this forum, but I'm sure hoping someone can help me with a problem I'm having with ArrayLists. This program was originally created with an array of objects that were displayed on a GUI with jtextFields, then cycling thru them via jButtons: First, Next, Previous, Last. Now I need to add the ability to modify, delete and add records. Both iterations of this program needed to write to and read from a .dat file.
It worked just like it was suppose to when I used just the array, but now I need to use a "dynamic array" that will grow or shrink as needed: i.e. an ArrayList.
When I aded the ArrayList I had the ArrayList use toArray() to fill my original array so I could continue to use all the methods I'd created for using with my array. Now I'm getting a nullPointerException every time I try to run my program, which means somewhere I'm NOT filling my array ???? But, I'm writing just fine to my .dat file, which is confusing me to no end!
It's a long program, and I apologize for the length, but here it is. There are also 2 class files, a parent and 1 child below Inventory6. This was written in NetBeans IDE 5.5.1.
Thank you in advance for any help anyone can give me!

BalusC -- The line that gives me my NullPointerException is when I call the "DisplayProduct()" method. Its a dumb question, but with NetBeans how do I find out which reference could be null? I'm not very familiar with how NetBeans works with finding out how to debug. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.The IDE is com-plete-ly irrelevant. It's all about the source code.
Do you understand anyway when and why a NullPointerException is been thrown? It is a subclass of RuntimeException and those kind of exceptions are very trival and generally indicate an design/logic/thinking fault in your code.
SomeObject someObject = null; // The someObject reference is null.
someObject.doSomething(); // Invoking a reference which is null would throw NPE.

How to avoid duplicate data while inserting from sample.dat file to table

Hi Guys,
We have issue with duplicate data in flat file while loading data from sample.dat file to table. How to avoid duplicate data in control file.
Can any one help me on this.
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
LKR

No, a control file will not remove duplicate data.
You would be better to use an external table and then remove duplicate data using SQL as you query the data to insert it to your destination table.

Sqlldr - can you skip last row from a data file

Hi
I need to skip last line from the data file when I load the data into the tables. Is that possible to do using sqlldr, if yes How?
Also, the first row in the data file, which has a single column needs to be loaded into all the rows of the table. How can i do that?
Example
020051213
1088110 0047245 A 000000000000GB 00000496546700
1088110 0719210 A 000000000000GB 00001643982200
1088110 0727871 A 000000000000GB 00000083008900
9010163
The first line needs to go into all the rows, and the last row needs to be skipped. Remaining can be loaded normally. I think this would take multiple loads. Can anybody please help.
TIA

here i am sending a control file sample which use the when clause
in sql loader
load data
infile 'load_4.dat'
discardfile 'load_4.dsc'
insert
into table sql_loader_4_a
when field_2 = 'Fruit'
field_1 position(1) char(8),
field_2 position(9) char(5)
into table sql_loader_4_b
when field_2 = 'City'
field_1 position(1) char(8),
field_2 position(9) char(5)
)

Events or attributes triggered by data coming from a data file

Without using scripts, is there any way to have rectangles or textboxes act on values coming from a data file? If not, does anyone know or have some scripting suggestions to do that. For examplle if the value in a textbox was greater than 10 coming from a data record, could the textbox change color, or any other attribute to make it change from record to recortd as it is being viewed or printed?
Thanks

That is how I solve your question.
I use a formula in Excel:
I import the result in ID, not Column A, but B (result of the calculation):
And I modify the paragraph style like this:
It is easy and fast to do.

How to read from 2 data files ?

Hi,
I'm trying to create a program that will read data from two dat files that are linked by a reference code in each file.
I have been using StringTokenizer to read from one file as follows:
but the problem is that the dat files contain int, String and double values.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
public class Student
     public static void main(String[]args)
     String file = "CourseWork.dat";//Locate the file to open
     String input;     // to be used to identify each line of text
     String word;     // used to identify each word in the text
     StringTokenizer tokenizer;//value of StringTokenizer
     BufferedReader fin = Text.open(file);
     input = fin.readLine;
     while (input !=null)
               tokenizer = new StringTokenizer (input);
               while (tokenizer.hasMoreTokens())                {                                                                                               word = tokenizer.nextToken();
               System.out.println(input);
               input = fin.readLine();
Any pointers greatly appreciated

read all of them to a StringBuffer,
then stoken.

How to extract/export SD billing invoices to flat data file

Hi,
We are using SAP R/3 4.5b and we have to extract billing invoices to flat data file like csv or xml. How do we do it?
Thanks

Hi Gyan Der,
There is another simple method to extract the SD Billing values from SAP.
You can find the SD Billing data in the following tables:
<b>VBRK - Header Data
VBRP - Item Details.</b>
You can create a report using these 2 tables in the Transaction <b>SQVI</b>.
check the following link for help to create Quick Views:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d1/44f2b5c7f411d296080000e82de14a/frameset.htm
In SQVI, you can create table joins for the above 2 tables & extract the required output.
The report output can be transferred to an excel file or text file.
hope this helps!
best regards,
Thangesh

Error while trying to import a repository data file in the B2Bconsole

Hello Esther,
the problem seems to be that the temp folder of the target Integration Builder system can't be found:
'The system cannot find the path specified
at [..] FileAccess.getTempDirectory([..])'.
You'll experience the same problem if you try a file based import or export within the Integration Builder directly.
I would recommend to continue the search there. You could check if the environment variables (for Windows: TEMP and TMP) of the OS of the system with the target Integration Builder to an existing path. Check also if the WebAs can access this path.
Good luck
Frank
