Populating a Postgresql database?

Can anyone tell me the best way to populate a postgresql database? I already have the tables but i need to add lots of data.
Thank you

See if it has a tool to load it from a text file (this solution will not have any java in it.)

Configuring DBAT 9.1.0.5 connector with PostgreSQL database in OIM 11g

Hi,
I am trying to configure the DBAT 9.1.0.5 connector with PostgreSQL database in OIM 11g (11.1.1.5.0), thou' in the connector document the suppot for this postgres is not mentioned.
So, as mentioned for other databases that the JDBC driver has to be copied to $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext, I have also copied the postgres driver to the specific folder but while trying to configure the connector, I am getting the error as 'No suitable driver found'. Following is the stacktrace snippet.

I am using postgresql-8.4-703.jdbc4.jar and Driver class as org.postgresql.Driver
some suggestions on this would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Sid

Thanks guys for the quick responses.
But I have tried both the options for putting the jar in Third Party and also by uploading using the OOTB utility UploadJar.sh.
But it is giving the same error.
I have tired rebouncing the server and also Purge cached, but no success.
Just to mention again, I have tried with all the last 3 postgres JDBC4 driver available on the site (u mentioned).
So, any other clue?
Thanks in advance.

Help!! How To Connect Java & PostgreSQL Database

I'm final year student in comp sc. I'm doing java in my thesis.
How to get/read data from postgresql using java?
My thesis is "2 Dimensional Graph Statistics Online Viewing Using Java Applet". So i need a mechanism how to read data from postgresql database using java programming. Please Help!!

Hi,
getting started you need some basics on JDBC.
Have a look at the tutorials, or look at this site (its german):
http://www.furchur.de/de/informatik/laborberichte2.htm#dbswt
Have a look at the java.sql package.
First you need to build up a connection using
java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection(...)
The parameter for the PostgreSQL you must look somewhere.
After you have a connection you can use Statements and PreparedStatements to get and set data in the database.
At the end, make sure, the connection will be closed, otherwise data can be lost.
Hope that will help you a little bit

Shifting data from PostgreSQL database to Oracle database

hello folks,
as i want to have an environment of many database servers of PostgreSQL databases on linux redhat 8.0 and one main database server of Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 on linux redhat 8.0;so that transections may go on PostgreSQL databases and Oracle database server would be used as a central repository to facilitate our data warehousing needs,I want to know how to shift data from PostgreSQL database to an Oracle database at the end of the day.What to do? From where can i get its documentation.
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.
Regards.
Muhammad Umar Liaquat.

Since you're going to want to move the data regularly, I'd suggest looking into the Oracle Transparent Gateways (Heterogenous Services). This should let you create database links in Oracle that connect to each of the PostgreSQL databases. Then, you just have to write the appropriate select/insert statements.

About populating a non-database item in a multi-records block

Hi, all
I have a problem about populating a non-database item in a
multi-records block. This block is set to database block with a
controlled item which needs to be populated after query. so I
create a post-query trigger, but my problem is when the records
listed in this block are less than 10 ( the record number is set
to 10), the trigger fires no problem. but when the retrieved
records are greater than 10, the error message is 'post query
trigger raised unhandled exception ora 01403'. anyone can help me
fix this problem?
Thanks in advance
Diana

Diana,
When you have an unbound item in a block and want to fetch
some data into it you need to write a post-query trigger.What
you have done is right.But it seems that u are getting a No data
found error.I am sure about how u r populating data into that
field.If u have written a select statement to fetch the data in
post-query trigger, kindly handle an exception and find out the
problem.Having a look at ur code(pos-query) would be much more
helpful for giving a better solution.Try this a let me know.
Thanks
Vinod.

Images from PostgreSQL Database

<p>It doesn't appear to be possible to display images stored in a PostgreSQL database on a report in the CR4E report designer.</p><p>PostgreSQL databases usually store images in a column of type "bytea". The Field Explorer in CR4E shows this as a String[-1] type. It allows the field to be dropped on a report but it behaves just like a text field. When the report is previewed, the field is empty even if the column has an image stored in it.</p>

Hi Peter,
I can confirm that PostgreSQL is not an officially supported database for CR4E, which means thatÂ we have not done any tests with it. Still, I would assume that it couldÂ work fine with CR4E, though, and it's definitly worth giving it a try. However,Â it is highly possible thatÂ someÂ of theÂ specific features, like the way images are stored, willÂ not be handled by CR4E.
Thx for pointing this out, we might considerÂ adding this in some future releases.
Cheers.

MD5 passwords in PostgreSQL Database

Hi!
I have to store some MD5 hashed passwords in a table in a my PostgreSQL Database. The problem is that when I try to store those "hashed" Strings with an INSERT Statement I get the error: java.sql.SQLException: ERROR: parser: parse error at or near "��h".
This happens not always when I hash and store a clear text String with the MD5 algorithm. Some Strings work fine others not! I think it has something to do with the character encoding in my JDBC Driver. I use the ISO-8859-15 encoding.
Please give me some hints to solve this problem!
Thx

I'm not an MD5 expert, but as far as I know the MD5 code is "binary" meaning, it can contain values below 32 which are non-printable characters (and even negativ values as they are bytes). I think you have to encode the MD5 checksum as e.g. Base64

PostgreSQL Database migration help

I have table called TEST in postgreSQL database with some data and I want to migrate this to oracle. I am a newbie to oracle database and I dont know which is the suitable data types in oracle for my table. Below are the my table information. Can any one please help me with this scenario. This would be the greate help to me.
CREATE TABLE TEST(id integer,data_tab text[])
insert into TEST (1,'{DATA1,DATA2}')
insert into TEST (2,'{DATA3,DATA4}')
insert into TEST (3,'{DATA5,DATA6}')
I am using Oracle 10.2 version for migration.
Thanks

I am not worry about the normalizations rules at this point of time, I just need the solution. Please help me out.Neither now nor in the future! :-)
The Postgre text data type is defined as unlimited
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/interactive/datatype-character.html
The closest I would suggest you can come to this is to use a CLOB data type in Oracle which can hold 4GB of data.
I would suggest if you need more than 4GB of data in a single column of a single row, you might want to revisit the idea of normalisation!
Seriously though, if you are doing a migration, don't expect things to work in the same way on Oracle. The way Oracle works is different in a great number of ways to PostgreSQL. Don't expect that if you faithfully copy every table and index that your system will perform and operate exactly as it did previously. You are going to need to refactor some things and you're going to need to make changes here and there. If there are glaring design issues, it might be a time to approach correcting them.
Here's a link to the Oracle docs

I'd familiarise yourself with the concepts guide as a start...

Power Query Update breaks connection to PostgreSQL database

After the update to Power Query 2.11.3625.144, we can't connect our PostgreSQL database anymore.
Error message is:
DataSource.NotFound: PostgreSQL: Unable to find a database provider with invariant name 'Npgsql'.
This error may have been the result of provider-specific client software being required but missing on this computer. To download client software for this provider, visit the following site and choose at minimum 'Npgsql version 2.0.12': http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=282716
Readding the Npgsql driver doesn't solve the issue. Has the version requirement changed with the Power Query update? Or is PostgreSQL connectivity completely broken?

Hmm,
If I add the line, I get the following error message in Power Query:
'Npgsql' returned the error: 'Unrecognized element. (C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config line 169)'.
This error may have been the result of provider-specific client software being required but missing on this computer. To download client software for this provider, visit the following site and choose at minimum 'Npgsql version 2.0.12': http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=282716
The code in the machine config looks like this:
<system.data>
<DbProviderFactories />
<add description=".Net Framework Data Provider for Postgresql Server" type="Npgsql.NpgsqlFactory, Npgsql, Version=2.0.12.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=5d8b90d52f46fda7" name="Npgsql Data Provider" invariant="Npgsql" support="FF"/>
</system.data>
The node seems to be empty by default. Can it be that the surrounding stuff has to be differently written in that case?

Want JTree e.g. of populating data from database.

I want ur JTree example of populating data from database, can u plz give me that eg.?
Awaiting 4 ur reply.

Hi,
AFAIK, there is no direct approach to populate a JTree directly from a resultset. However, JTree can use a DOM tree as its model by using the adapter pattern. The procedure to do this is well-documented in the SUN website and the link is provided below. The code to convert a resultset to XML is provided below:
protected void resultSetToXML(OutputStream out,
ResultSet rs,
String stylesheet)
throws IOException, ServletException {
// Create reader and source objects
SqlXMLReader sxreader = new SqlXMLReader();
SqlInputSource sis = new SqlInputSource(rs);
// Create SAX source and StreamResult for transform
SAXSource source = new SAXSource(sxreader, sis);
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(out);
// Perform XSLT transform to get results. If "stylesheet"
// is NULL, then use identity transform. Otherwise, parse
// stylesheet and build transformer for it.
try {
// Create XSLT transformer
TransformerFactory tf = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
Transformer t;
if (stylesheet == null) {
t = tf.newTransformer();
} else {
// Read XSL stylesheet from app archive and wrap it as
// a StreamSource. Then use it to construct a transformer.
InputStream xslstream = _config.getServletContext().
getResourceAsStream(stylesheet);
StreamSource xslsource = new StreamSource(xslstream);
t = tf.newTransformer(xslsource);
// Do transform
t.transform(source, result);
} catch (TransformerException tx) {
throw new ServletException(tx);
The classes SQLXMLReader and other classes used in this example are available in the following java packages.
import java.sql.*;
import javax.sql.DataSource;
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import javax.xml.transform.*;
import javax.xml.transform.sax.*;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.*;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
import org.xml.sax.*;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.AttributesImpl;
The following is the link that explains how to load a JTree from DOM.

ZLM Postgresql Database Issue

Not sure if this forum is still live but here goes
We have a legacy ZLM 7.3 IR4 primary server running on a SUSE 10.4 server with a local postgresql database.
We are getting the following warning from the nightly vacuum cron script '/usr/bin/zlm-pg-vacuum'
WARNING: database "postgres" must be vacuumed within 106755292 transactions
HINT: To avoid a database shutdown, execute a full-database VACUUM in "postgres".
From looking at the ZLM documentation we tried the following
zlm-config --stop
/usr/bin/zlm-pg-vacuum --full
This ran but gave a similar warning all be it that the transactions count has gone down :-(
We have also tried connecting to the database using 'psql' and running 'vacuum full' but with the same results
We have subsequently tried running a 'zlm_db_cleanup.sh' (took 8 hours) and followed that with another '/usr/bin/zlm-pg-vacuum --full' but this also had no effect
Does anyone have any ideas about what we can do to alleviate this issue? By our rough calculations we have around 90 days before the database will close to connections
