Regarding external table error

Hi,
I have created a csv file using excel as source, then I creaed a flat file module and imported the source.
Next I have created a external table for that file.
By using ssh I copied my source file (.csv file) to the server location ( By drag and drop method)
In the server it shows the file name as Income Source.csv file.
I deployed the external table.
When I am trying to opening the table it shows the message like
file not found in that location.
When I view the generated SQL of external table
in that query : the location the file name as Income_Source not Income Sourcce.csv ( I am thinking this might be the problem)
Please give me the suggestions.
Thanks,
Venkat

VenkatFile name should be exactly same as the filename in the directory.
Its a good practise to use filename as one string or have some char such as " _" to seperate two strings rather than have space such as INCOME SOURCE
i presume you have given permissions on the directory for owb to read the file.

URGENT : Regarding External Table

Hi,
We have some external tables in our production environment. In unix level we have two users 1) ORACLE (Primary Group DBA, Secondary group RELEASE)
2) PROD (Primary Group RELEASE).
Now the log file directory of external table owned by PROD user and RELEASE group.
What minimum priviledges is reqire in unix level, so that ORACLE user can create log files for external tables there.
I have tried with 775, but it is trrowing the follwoing error :
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04063: unable to open log file log_flow.log
OS error Permission denied
ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", line 19
ORA-06512: at line 1
Can any one suggest ASAP.
One more Issue I have facing with external tables. The follwoing select "select * from dba_directories" showing all the directories I have created (data,log,reject,error), but "select * from dba_external_locations" showing only the data file locations not showing the error,log and reject location, and when the DATABASE is bounced due to some other reason the DDL of external table get changed (error,log and reject file location was not there). Can any one suggest any work around.
Any body can call me up in any one of the following nos.

Hi,
Have you try to create a file manually with oracle user ito this log directory ?
Have you check the good directory ?
dba_external_locations It describes the locations (data sources) of all external tables in the database.

I have the directories INPUT_DIR and INPUT_LOGDIR defined, and read/write access granted to the user who creates the table and tried to query from it.
I have tried various combinations of VARCHAR2 lengths and NUMBER vs VARCHAR2 for some of the numeric fields.
I am not getting any Bad, Log or Discard files.
I can do a GET from the SQL prompt, and see the data:
SQL> GET 'C:\temp\input_dir'myfile.rpt'
and I see the data.
Windows 7
Oracle 11.2
I am not positive of the newline record delimiter - these files are generated by an automated system. Probably generated on a UNIX machine.
Any suggestions on what to try would be helpful.
KUP-04043 error message says to check the syntax .. .I am running out of thigns to check.
Thank you - Karen

And the get ( I created the sanitized file, so we have a real working, failing, santiized example):

Querying external tables ERROR no not English version 10g R2 ¿BUG 5172459?

Hello
I have a serious problem when trying to view the content of external tables under Oracle 10R2 in Spanish
Steps to perform:
1. Make directory on file system (in oracle server side).
2. Copy a data file into this directory.
3. Login (sqlplus) as "sys as sysdba"
4. Make one oracle directory object
5. Grant permits read / write to a user 'simple_uesr'
6. Logout sys, and login as 'simple_user'
7. Make a external table, which uses the directory and data file.
8. Run query 'select * from myExtTable' to check it.
I have repeated these steps on Oracle 9i Enterprise, Oracle 10gR2 Enterprise, and Oracle 10g XE, and always, always worked perfectly (no problems).
The problem occurs in the client's DB (Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.2.0 SPANISH), everything works fine until the step 8 (querying external tables), where systematically the following error occurs:
ERROR en línea 1:
ORA-29913: error al ejecutar la llamada de ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN
ORA-29400: error de cartucho de datos
KUP-00552: internal XAD package failed to load
ORA-06512: en "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", línea 19
I have made many tests, such as assigning a wrong directory to external table, remove the data file, remove access permissions, and always, always gives the same error, nerver error "file not found...etc, etc".
I have concluded that the failure, which occurs before Oracle even try to access the file system, but I do not know what may be the cause.
Searching the Internet, I found the following links:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_ora_29913_external_table_error.htm
http://zalbb.itpub.net/post/980/249423
Where mention the BUG 5172459 (MetaLink Note: 373168.1), but after follow the directions, still does not work.
Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thanks!

Let's go through errors you posted:
First error (ORA-29913) indicating error occurs when Oracle tryed to access external table.
Then ORA-29400 says that error has occurred in a data cartridge external procedure.
And then finally KUP-00552 - an error was encountered while attempting to initialize the XAD package.
So did you check state of the XAD package in that database?
Also, please post code you used in steps 4. and 7.

External table error (no data showing)

Hi Guys,
Need some help on my external table. I have an existing external table (MA_EXT) when I select the table no data is showing and there is no error in the log file and there is no bad file. The next thing I did to check if the error is in the file is to copy the same code and just rename the external table (MA_EXT2) and it worked just fine (data is showing no changes in the code just external table name). So the next step I did was to drop and recreate the external table (MA_EXT) but the same thing happened the data is not showing and no error in log file and no bad file.
BTW this is in 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit
Has anyone encountered this? TIA...

Either you are correct or Oracle is correct.
I bet Oracle is correct more often than you.
You are free to submit a Bug Report if you are sure that Oracle is mis-behaving.

Slight oversight in the Concepts guide regarding external tables

Taking a look at the section in the Concepts guide on external tables
http://download-uk.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/schema.htm#sthref777
The line "External tables are read only; therefore, no DML operations are possible" is not strictly correct in 10.2, since you can insert into ORACLE_DATAPUMP external tables as the document goes on to discuss: "Oracle also provides the ORACLE_DATAPUMP type, which lets you unload data (that is, read data from a table in the database and insert it into an external table) and then reload it into an Oracle database." I assume the read only restriction is mentioned here because it was true in 9i and did not get corrected when Oracle introduced the ORACLE_DATAPUMP option in 10g.
Justin

Hello again. Development replies that the documentation is technically correct. We do not allow DML operations (insert, update, delete, merge) on external tables. For ORACLE_DATAPUMP, we do allow a "CREATE EXTERNAL TABLE ... AS SELECT ..." operation, but, this is DDL, not DML. This operation just populates the external table with data initially. No DML operations are allowed to modify the data, and indexes cannot be created on an external table.
If you agree that this is the case, then I'll get the documentation clarified along these lines. If you have experience (test cases) that contradict this, please let me know, and I'll follow up further.
Regards,
Diana

I have no experience with external tables but my understanding is that they are described the same was as you would describe a file to be loaded by SQL Loader. When ever I create a sql loader control file to load a date column I use syntax like this:
DATE_M                                             "TO_DATE(:DATE_M,'dd.mm.yyyy')",Not sure if that will work for external tables or not.

EXTERNAL TABLE PARALLEL (DEGREE DEFAULT)

Ask you if in external table the clause SKIP 1 used with PARALLEL (DEGREE 4)
skip the first record for each session in parallel . Where i could set the the parallel parameter ?
Thanks

Default value have a sense during insertion. Since you cannot insert into an external table (with some Slight oversight in the Concepts guide regarding external tables with datapump table), what will the target to have such feature ?
