Reading text file to table

Hi,
I'm using oracle 9i on a server , and microsoft iis 6.0 is running on other server,
I want to create a stored procedure, that read log file exist on iis server, and insert data on a table on oracle server.
I want this procedure to run on daily basis, updating table content, then I will use discoverer to create reports.
how can I do that?

Best way to load data from text file to database is SQL*Loader.Actually in 9i the best way might be to use an External Table. This is much simpler to use than SQL*Loader because we can just issue a SELECT statement to get the data. SQL*loader is really only necessary when we have huge amounts of data and perfomance is critical.
Cheers, APC

Reading Text file & Updating table using PL SQL Procedure

Guys, I am trying to read data from a large text file which
contains tab delimited data. Based on success of validations, I
have to insert/update data in to table(s). Does any one has any
sample procedure to read data (tab delimted/comma seperated)
from a text file and write to database table? Your help is
greatly appreciated!

Is there any particular reason why you're not using SQL*Loader
for this? Otherwise you would seem to be re-inventing the wheel.

USING WEBUTIL TO READ TEXT FILE INTO TABLE HANGS AFTER CERTAIN NUMBER OF RE

Dear
when we use webutil to retrieve data from text file into database table
(using text_io) it hangs after certain number of records ( approx. 1300
records) while the total number of records to be inserted in the table exceeds
12000 records while it works properly on forms6i with the normal text_io any
help please...?
thanks and regards

WebUtil uploads the files as Binary - so yes you could have some issues if you have a Unix host - however, that would only mean that there is an extra character to trim off of the end of the line read by Text_io.

Sure.

To read text file using utl_file

I would like to read test_file_out.txt which is in c:\temp folder.
create or replace create or replace directory dir_temp as 'c:\temp';
grant read, write on directory dir_temp to system;
then when i execute the below code i get the error .
// to read text file using utl_file
DECLARE
FileIn UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
v_sql VARCHAR2 (1000);
BEGIN
FileIn := UTL_FILE.FOPEN ('DIR_TEMP', 'test_file_out.txt', 'R');
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE (FileIn, v_sql);
dbms_output.put_line(v_sql);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE (FileIn);
END;
ERROR:
invalid file operation
i would like to use ult_file only and also can you let me know to read the text file and place its contents in tmp_emp table?

Are you trying to read the contents of the file into the local variable? Or write the contents of the local variable to the file?
Your text talks about reading the file. And you open the file in read mode. But then you call the UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE method which, as SomeoneElse points out, attempts to write data to the file. Since the file is open in read-only mode, you cannot write to the file.
If the goal is really to read from the file, replace the UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE calls with UTL_FILE.GET_LINE. If the goal is really to write to the file, you'll need to open the file in write mode ('W' rather than 'R' in the FOPEN call).

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?

(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

Need to read text file content and have to display it in multiline text box

dear all,
Need to read text file content and have to display it in multiline text box.
actually im new to file handling. i have tried up to get_line and put_line.
in_file := TEXT_IO.FOPEN ('D:\SAMPLE.txt', 'r');
TEXT_IO.GET_LINE (in_file,linebuf);
i dont know how to assign this get_line function to text item
pls help me in this regards,

Simply write:
in_file := TEXT_IO.FOPEN ('D:\SAMPLE.txt', 'r');
TEXT_IO.GET_LINE (in_file,linebuf);
:block2.t1 := chr(10)||:block2.t1||chr(10)||linebuf;
chr(10) --> is for new line character

Can I save and read text files on a server that I host?

Hello everyone,
I am a java hobbiest. I was wondering if I set up my own server, running out of my house, could I have my applets save to my computer and read from my computer without having to learn JDBC and a DATABASE language. In other words could i just have my applet save and read text files from and to my server?
I'm trying to set up a sight for my 5th grade class where parents can log into. Thanks for your time.
Oh yeah, which is easier, learning how to set up a server or learning JDBC and a DATABASE language?
If you have any other good idease please tell me them
Thank you, Bryan

Short answer: This isn't gonna work
Long answer: For this to work, the first thing you're going to need is a static IP address and a DNS name registered -actually you don't necessarily need #2 but you're probably gonna want it and it's by far the easier of the steps.
As far as I know to get a fixed IP address you've either gotta be directly attached to a larger network (ie university network) or get a leased line from an ISP.
Once you've got that done come back to us.
