Read Text File In Oracle package

Hello,
I am writing a spec to move a desktop app and code as an Oracle packaged program. Can a stored procedure or an oracle package read from a text file stored in pc/server directory?

Somewhere after the first sentence, it goes on to mention the GET_RAW and PUT_RAW functions.

Reading Text Files using Oracle PL/SQL and UTL_FILE

Hi, experts. I tried to read a text file into oracle. Here is what i did:
1. Create a text file in the directory: C:\temp\New Text Document.txt
2. Run the following SQL in PL/SQL:
CREATE or replace DIRECTORY sampledata AS 'C:\temp\';
grant read, write on directory sampledata to public;
3. When I run the following code, it caused an error: ora-29280: invalid directory path. I have alread checked the directory path, it is correct. Would someone know what wrong is my code?
declare
f utl_file.file_type;
s varchar2(3000);
begin
f := utl_file.fopen('sampledata','New Text Document.txt','R');
utl_file.get_line(f,s);
utl_file.fclose(f);
dbms_output.put_line(s);
end;
Thank you

Try with a filename without spaces:No problem with spaces
SQL> declare
2 f utl_file.file_type;

Unable to find file error while loading data from text file to Oracle

Hi,
I am having a interface where i am loading a data of Text file to Oracle.
But when i am trying to do this i am getting following error.
ODI-1227: Task SrcSet0 (Loading) fails on the source FILE connection SAPMM.
Caused By: java.sql.SQLException: File not found: d:/mdb/#General.get_filename
     at com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.file.FileResultSet.<init>(FileResultSet.java:160)

     at com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.file.CommandExecutor.executeCommand(CommandExecutor.java:33)
SAPMM is connection name.
I am using get_filename to get the filename and it is fetching correct value as the this variable refreshes in previous step of this interface.
KM used for loading is File to SQL
What would be cause of this error?
Thanks,
Mahesh

Hi,
Did a testing and following are the result
I have
A> created package having steps like
1. Declaration of variable v_filename.
2. Refreshing variable v_filename.
3. Execution of Interface which gets the file name from v_filename and load into target table
Package executes successfully.
B> created package having steps like
1. Declaration of variable v_filename.
2. Refreshing variable v_filename.
3. Scenario of Interface which gets the file name from v_filename and load into target table
Package executes with erre as it is not able to find the file
C> created package having steps like
1. Declaration of variable v_filename.
2. Refreshing variable v_filename.
3. Execution of Interface which gets the file name from v_filename and load into target table
4. Now create a scenario of the package , use the generated scenario in another package say main_package
Execution of main_package is successful.

Import Text File to Oracle Table

Hi Guys,
Just needed some advice on how to approach this project. I need to set up an automated schedule to import a text file into an oracle table. There will be a folder set up, where a file is put every day for me. The file will have a name such as Name_Extract_<Date>. It will always start with the words Name_extract_ and the date appended to it. I need to import this text file into oracle, then perhaps copy the file to another folder when import is finished.
What will be the best method to use to accomplish this?? SQl Loader, UTL_FILE package? Any help will be appreciated.

Not much details but depending on versions etc of your Oracle database I'd look into external tables. Perhaps even leverage DBFS (only available in 11.2).

... reading text file to load data

Hi all.
we have a requirement, acc to which we need to read a few tab delimited text file into oracle tables on daily bases.
i was trying to read it through the utl_file procedure, but while working i found out that there is a limitation in utl_file ... you can only read a complete line, and i had no clue how to use the delimiter to read each column and insert into database.
Another option i have is to use External table, use these text file as external table and insert data into oracle tables.
There is one problem where i got stuck, probably due to inexperience.
One of the files we recieve is like .
SID, teacher1_Name, teacher1_age, teacher1_sex,teacher2_name,teacher2_age, teacher2_sex......
while the table structure is like
SID Teacher_name, age sex .... ............
Now how can i insert the values for teacher1_age into age column...
so that my db table will be filled like
S1 teacher1_name teacher1_age teacher1_sex
S1 teacher2_name teacher2_age teacher2_sex
Please also suggest that is my method correct for reading these file by making them external tables and then inserting into our db tables.
The reason i cant keep the files is that the data comes daily with changed values, so we need to read them daily and then delete or replace with the new one coming with same name and struture the next day..
Regards

Output query result to a text file in ORACLE

I Need a procedure for generating output query into text file in Oracle.
for Example,
A table called Tab1
the columns are c1,c2,c3,c4,c5.
I want to store the data in text file in...
First row as a column name & then, appear the records in second row onwards...
c1|c2|c3|c4|c5.
Please kindly provide the solution for this ASAP.

In case you are using Oracle 9i or higher you should better create a DIRECTORY rather then setting utl_file_dir,e.g.
SQL> CREATE DIRECTORY log_dir AS '/appl/gl/log';
SQL> GRANT READ ON DIRECTORY log_dir TO DBA; http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/appdev.920/a96612/u_file.htm#ARPLS069

Can't read text file using UTL_FILE

Hi All,
how can I read notepad file using UTL_FILE package.I have specified the UTL_FILE_DIR in the init.ora file.My objective is to when a button is clicked, the contents of the file will display in a text item.Here is my code written in WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED trigger.
DECLARE
     file_handle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
data_line Varchar2(100);
BEGIN
     file_handle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('E:\vimal','abc.txt','R');
          message('directory created');
     UTL_FILE.GET_LINE(file_handle, data_line);
     :block2.t1 := data_line;
     UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(file_handle);
END;

Why don't you use text_io? Don't forget that UTL_FILE is reading directories from the database point of view. The E drive for the database is a different E then on your client pc. I presume your database is on a different computer. Are you getting any errors?

Upload text file to oracle table with checking and aggregation

Hi Friends,
I am new to ODI. I have encountered a problem which is specific to ODI 11G (11.1.1.6.3) to upload text file to oracle table with checking and aggregation. Would you please teach me how to implement the following requirement in ODI 11G?
Input text file a:
staffCode, staffCat, status, data
input text file b:
staffCodeStart, staffCodeEnd, staffCat
temp output oracle table c:
staffCat, data
output oracle table d:
staffCat, data
order:
a.staffCode, a.staffCat, a.status
filter:
a.status = ‘active’
join:
a left outerjoin b on a.staffCode between b.staffCodeStart and b.staffCodeEnd
insert temp table c:
c.staffCat = if b.staffCat is not null then b.staffCat else a.staffCat
c.data = a.data
insert table d:
if c.staffCat between 99 and 1000 then d.staffCat = c.staffCat, d.data = sum(c.data)
else d.staffCat = c.staffCat, d.data = LAST(c.data)
Any help on fixing this is highly appreciated. Thanks!!
Thanks,
Chris

Dear Santy,
Many thanks for your prompt reply. May I have more information about the LAST or SUM step?
I was successful to create and run the following interfaces p and q
1. Drag text file a to a newly created interface panel p
2. Filter text file a : a.status = ‘active’
3. Lookup text file a to text file b : a.staffCode between b.staffCodeStart and b.staffCodeEnd
4. Drag oracle temp table c to interface panel p
5. Set c.staffCat : CASE WHEN b.staffCat IS NULL THEN a.staffCat ELSE b.staffCat END
6. Set c.data : a.data
7. Drag oracle temp table c to a newly created interface panel q
8. Drag oracle table d to interface panel q
9. Set UK to d.staffCat
10. Set Distinct Rows to table d
11. Set d.staffCat = c.staffCat
12. Set d.data = SUM(c.data)
However, the interface q should be more than that:
If c.staffCat is between 99 and 1000, then d.data = the last record c.data; else d.data = sum(c.data)
Would you please teach me how to do the LAST or SUM steps? Moreover, can interface p and interface q be combined to one interface and do not use the temp table c? Millions thanks!

Chris

Reading text file to JEditorPane

Hi,
I'm trying to read text file to JEditorPane and it works but first line is always missing. Here is the code for reading:
try {
   in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filePathIn));
   while ((lineIn = in.readLine()) != null) {
        editorPane.read(in, new Object());
} catch (IOException ie)...Any suggestions?

in.readLine is changing the input stream position.
Do this instead:
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(filePathIn);
while (in.available() != 0)
    editorPane.read(in, new Object());

How can I read text files from LAN if I only know the hostname?

I'm new in Java Developing, and dont know the written classes yet. I need help, how to do the following steps?
<p>1. How can I read text files from LAN if I only know the hostname, or IP address?
<p>2. How to read lines from text files without read all lines from the beginning of file, just seek to a position.
(ex. how can I read the 120th line?)
<p>Please help!
<p>sorry for the bad english

I'm new in Java Developing, and dont know the written classes yet. I need help, how to do the following steps?
1. How can I read text files from LAN if I only know the hostname, or IP address?You need to know the URL of the file. You need to know the hostname, port, protocl and relative path.
The hostname is server, not file.
2. How to read lines from text files without read all lines from the beginning of file, just seek to a position.Use the seek() to get to a random byte.
(ex. how can I read the 120th line?)The only way to find the 120th line is to read the first 120 lines. You can use other file formats to find the 120th line without reading the whole file but to need to be able to detremine where the 120th line is
