Removing Double Quotes while uploading CSV file in APEX

Whenever I upload a CSV file using data load option in APEX there are values which get uploaded in Double Quotes.
e.g Oracle Polska Sp. z o.o -----------value like this gets uploaded with Double Quotes."Oracle Polska Sp. z o.o"
How can I overcome this problem? I am using Apex 4.2.

Did you specify the "Optionally Enclosed By" option with the double quote sign?

The above logic is replacing '"' with a blank space. I dont want this blank space which is generated. The double quote should be removed and the next character should shift to left in place of Double quote.
Note : I am on 4.6C and it doesnt have replace all occurrences of.
How to achieve this ?
Thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Prashant

Hi Prashant ,
There is one simple method for it . When you find <b>"</b> in you table , you shift the previous data into other tab (table2) . Continue searching and when you get next <b>"</b> again shift the data to table2 .
Hope this helps .
Edit : If you dont want to use another table , you can use function TRIM . To know more about it click

Negative Numbers considered as VARCHAR while uploading CSV file under Data Load in APEX

I am trying to upload a CSV file which contains negative numbers. These negative numbers are being considered as VARCHAR2 while uploading. And if I change the Column Type to Numbers the upload fails.
Any solutions the problem will highly be appreciated.

select * from nls_database_parameters
where parameter = 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS'
shows you which characters your database believes represent the decimal place and the thousands separator. So, if your database expects 1,234.123 and you present a 'number' as 1 234,123 it will complain.
Also, in your case... your comma-separated-values contain commas? Or are the individual fields enclosed with quotes?

Double quotes missing in CSV file but exist in text file from AL11

Hi I am sending a file to AL11 with one of the fields having double quotes Like "field value" . When i download into Text file i am seeing the quotes but not when download as CSV file from Al11. Any SAP notes for this . If i add multiple quotes ' """" ' to have in csv I am seeing more quotes in text file which is not accepted . Please reply if anyone worked on this before . Thanks Kamesh

The CSV file also has the quotes (check in notepad), but when opened in MS Excel, Excel has a feature to ignore double quotes and consider the comma inside the quotes as part of field, not as a field separator.

How to handle comma present in any filed while loading CSV file in APEX

I am trying to import excel sheet data into a table. I have followed steps mentioned in below link and they work just fine with one exception.
http://avdeo.com/2008/05/21/uploading-excel-sheet-using-oracle-application-express-apex/
Exception is related to presense of comma (,) in any particular filed like- Address.
How can I handle this situation? I am using APEX 3.2
Thanks,
Abhi

Yes this is correct.
but problem will occur when e.g check the foll. string.
(1001,And I quote "This, will work")
Here it is a comm(,) in b/w "This and will".
due to this sqlldr interpret it as end of field. and throws an error.
I had gone through expert one on one oracle, what it maintioned as,
put an extra double quotes( " ) like " " to enclosed the double quoted string.
This works fine. For small data it can be done manually.
But for large data what condition can be put in the ctl file to achieve this?
or is there any other way to achieve this?
Thank you.

To upload a CSV file it is used FM:
CALL FUNCTION 'TEXT_CONVERT_CSV_TO_SAP'

i_field_seperator = ';'
I_LINE_HEADER =
i_tab_raw_data = lt_file
i_filename = p_filename

initially system was giving error for hex_to_decimal, but i managed to get this function on discussion forum and now it seems to be ok. but v_data_array problem is still there.

Issue when I upload CSV file for insert contact list on Cisco Attendant Console Advanced

Hi Friends,
I have error "Provided file is not valid CSV File" when I upload CSV file to Cisco Attendant Console Advanced system. I'm not sure what happen about my CSV. My purpose is insert contact list to system and create CSV base on documentation.
Anyone have idea to solve this issue please kindly help me.
Thanks

You are right, whenever Cisco device boots, the IOS files gets loaded on the DRAM.
But in this process, some temporary files are also generated which gets saved in the flash/Disk, that’s the only reason you got these error messages. It’s not recommended at all to have less space in the Flash than what is recommended on Cisco.com. I would say please remove some files from Disk and have minimum 256 MB flash otherwise your router may drop into rommon mode at the time of next reload.
Well, it’s good to upgrade the bootstarp image too. Currently you are running 15.X IOS code, I would say run 15.X bootstarp image on the box.
You may download bootstarp image for 7206VRX NPEG2 from the link below:-

How to give the unix server path while uploading a file

Hi All,
Am very new to this file operations in Oracle.
here i have a requirement like we need to upload table to unix server using oracle. I have read about File operations in Oracle but in that i did not understand one point like how and where to give the unix server path .. like username@servername and Path where that file needs to be stored.
I have googled for file operations in oracle.. in that there are asking me to create one object like as follows
Create or replace directory rtvms2 as 'MYDIR:'
The MYDIR: i need to use while uploading the file .
UTL_FILE.FOPEN('MYDIR:','Report.txt','W');
My Question is how and where should i give my unix server information .?
and how and in which step oracle connect to unix server and upload the file.?
Can any one please help me.
Thanks
Sree

you're close...
(this example shows it for a windows server, but you just replace the windows directory path with a unix server path)
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY mydir AS 'c:\myfiles';Note: This does not create the directory on the file system. You have to do that yourself and ensure that oracle has permission to read/write to that file system directory.
Then, grant permission to the users who require access e.g....
GRANT READ,WRITE ON DIRECTORY mydir TO myuser;Then use that directory object inside your FOPEN statement e.g.
fh := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('MYDIR', 'myfile.txt', 'r');Note: You MUST specify the directory object name in quotes and in UPPER case for this to work as it is a string that is referring to a database object name which will have been stored in uppercase by default.
For security reasons, Oracle requires a directory object and it is that object that points to the actual path (it's up to you to make sure that path is valid and exists on the operating system). Then the object can have read and write permissions given to relevant database users as appropriate i.e. you may want one user to only be able to read files from that location whilst another user can read and write. You still need to ensure operating system level permissions exist for that path for the operating system user under which oracle was installed (on unix that's likely to be an "oracle" user).

UCCX 8.0 "Error while uploading the file. Please try again."

I was on UCCX version 8.0.2.11003-10 and i was able to upload an script with the same name as an old one (overwrite).
Upgrade to UCCX 8.0.2.11004-12 and now I am receiving the error: "Error while uploading the file. Please try again."
There was a bug CSCth09248 that affected version 7 but supposed to be fixed on version 8 and was fixed on an earlier version. But after moving to a minor patch, problem came back...
Any ideas?

Hi,
I belive the bug was initially opened to fix the issue when uploading script fails when using wizard to configure uccx.
But now they have re-opened the same bug instead of opened a new one for the issue that you have.
I looked at the case attached to that bug, case # 617145545. Below is the problem description that customer has which is same as yours and this bug has been re-opened to fix this particular problem.
When I tried to upload a modified script with an existing file name, the message "script file already exists.
Overwrite existing script file, continue?" comes up and when I select "OK" then,
it dispaly Status "Error while uploading the file. Please try again".
If I remove an existing file first, it will upload fine.
Using UCCX Admin 8.0.2.11004-12 and UCCX Editor 8.0(2.0).
Thanks
