Populating table from csv

Hi all .. i need the syntax for populating a table from hard drive stored csv file. there are 6 fields in target table (named orgs) and i want to populate its fields 'in' and 'out' from csv file. can someone plz help me? for the time being i m doing it manually by creating scripts in excell sheet but thats not a good approach. i m using oracle 9i. thanx in advance

Hi,
Take this example:
I made a directory 'scott_dir' in my drive & put my csv file in it.
Then i created an external table using the following:
create table emp_ext (
EMPNO NUMBER(4),
ENAME VARCHAR2(10),
JOB VARCHAR2(9),
MGR NUMBER(4),
HIREDATE DATE,
SAL NUMBER(7,2),
COMM NUMBER(7,2),
DEPTNO NUMBER(2))
Organization external
(type oracle_loader
default directory scott_dir
access parameters (records delimited by newline
fields terminated by ',')
location ('emp_ext.csv'))
reject limit 1000;
It will insert data from your csv file to the emp_ext table.
You can verify data using the Select statement.
Later on you can merge data in your original table.
Thanks

Bulk Insert into a Table from CSV file

I have a CSV file with 1000 records and i have to insert those records into a table.
I tried for Bulk Insert command and Load data infile command but it throws error.
Am using Oracle 10g Express Edition.
I want to achieve it thru query command and not by plsql procedures
Please send me query syntax for this problem. . . .
Thanks in Advance,

Populating table from excel or other source

What is the easiest way to populate a table from an existing Word or Excel file? I am looking at a long list with name, address, phone, website fields and would like to avoid dragging and dropping or hand entering. Should the file be saved as a comma or tab separated ascii? Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Joe

Hi Joe,
in addition to Mylenium's hint I want to show you this alternative Adobe-option, look here:

How to update Records of SAP table from .CSV file

Hi,
I have written a code which takes a data from (,) delimited CSV file and adds it into the Internal table.
Now I want to update the all fields in SAP table with the Internal table.
I want to use Update statement.
Update <table Name> SET <field needs to update> WHERE connditon.
I don't want to iterate through thousand on record in sap table to check the where condition.
Could you please tell me how to do it.

Hi. I thing you will not workaround the iterating of the internal table.
You can pre-load all the records into another internal table
check lt_csv[] is not initial. " important, otherwise next select would read all records of the table
select .... into lt_dbitab for all entries in lt_csv where key-fieds = lt_csv-key_fields...
check sy-subrc eq 0 and lt_dbitab[] is not initial.
then do in-memory update of the it_dbitab
loop at it_dbitab assign <fs>.
read table lt_csv assign <fs_csv> with key ... " lt_csv should be sorted table with key, or you should try to use binary search
if sy-subrc eq 0.
...change required lt_dbitab fields: <fs>-comp = <fs_csv>-comp...
endif.
endloop.
ant then you can do mass-update
update dbtab from table lt_dbitab.
From performance view, this solution should be much faster than iterating lt_csv directly and updating every single database record

Tables from csv

I have data in a CSV(comma separated values) file and would like to create a table for each row in that file in iBooks. Is there an easier way of doing it other than manually copying and pasting the values for each row in a table in iBooks Author?
Each row has 4 values so each table would be a 2x4 table. There are about 500 rows.
Thanks.

Thanks for your quick reply.
I tried laying them out in word and doing the insert like you said. I think that works ok. However formatting is still an issue. Need to look into that.
Is there a way to insert audio or hyperlinks in a Table cell in iBooks author? I tried but it wasnt letting me do that.

Loading data from .csv file into existing table

Hi,
I have taken a look at several threads which talk about loading data from .csv file into existing /new table. Also checked out Vikas's application regarding the same. I am trying to explain my requirement with an example.
I have a .csv file and I want the data to be loaded into an existing table. The timesheet table columns are -
timesheet_entry_id,time_worked,timesheet_date,project_key .
The csv columns are :
project,utilization,project_key,timesheet_category,employee,timesheet_date , hours_worked etc.
What I needed to know is that before the csv data is loaded into the timesheet table is there any way of validating the project key ( which is the primary key of the projects table) with the projects table . I need to perform similar validations with other columns like customer_id from customers table. Basically the loading should be done after validating if the data exists in the parent table. Has anyone done this kind of loading through the APEX utility-data load.Or is there another method of accomplishing the same.
Does Vikas's application do what the utility does ( i am assuming that the code being from 2005 the utility was not incorporated in APEX at that time). Any helpful advise is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Anjali

Hi Anjali,
Take a look at these threads which might outline different ways to do it -
File Browse, File Upload
Loading CSV file using external table
Loading a CSV file into a table
you can create hidden items in the page to validate previous records before insert data.
Hope this helps,

Loading records from .csv file to SAP table via SAP Program

Hi,
I have a .csv file with 132,869 records and I am trying to load it to an SAP table with a customized SAP program.
After executing the program, only 99,999 records are being loaded into the table.
Is there some setting to define how many records can be loaded into a table? Or what else could be the problem?
Pls advice.
Thanks!!!

hi Arun ,
A datasource need a extract structure to fetch data .It is nothing but a temp table to hold data.
First you need to create atable in SE11 with fields coming from CSV file.
Then you need to write a report program to read you CSV file and populate your table in BW .
Then you can create a datasource on top of this table .
After that replicate and load data at PSA and use to upper flow.

How to Move from CSV to Table in Physical layer in Best possible way

We had a project which had the source (physical Layer) as CSV. Now there are moving from CSV to a Table in the Database.
Can anyone guide through the best possible way to complete the task
With Regards!
Steve

Create a new Database node in the Physical layer with connection pool, create a schema folder and drag your CSV object into the new database - All your BMM mappings and hence Presentation objects will move over seamlessly.
Might be an idea to simply reverse engineer / import any object from your database to initially create your database connection / tree then simply drag the CSV into it.
Hope this helps,
Alastair
