Error in external table

Suppose we have a file containing city populations in our /tmp directory and we wish to access this data from within our database.
Tokyo,Japan,33600000
Seoul,South Korea,23400000
Mexico City,Mexico,22400000
New York,USA,21900000
Bombay,India,21600000
Delhi,India,21500000
Sao Paulo,Brazil,20600000
Los Angeles,USA,18000000
Shanghai,China,17500000O
saka,Japan,16700000
First, we create a DIRECTORY object which will reference the /tmp directory in our file system.
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY tmp_dir AS '/tmp';
Directory created
Now, we create an external table by specifying the name of the file we wish to query and the directory where it can be located. We will rely on the default values of comma for a field separator and new line as the record delimiter, to describe our data.
CREATE TABLE pop_ext ( city VARCHAR2(30),
country VARCHAR2(30),
population NUMBER)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(DEFAULT DIRECTORY tmp_dir
LOCATION('pop.txt'));
Table created.
But when run the below query
SELECT * FROM pop_ext;
I am getting following error
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEFETCH callout
ORA-30653: reject limit reached

KUP-01005 error in external table definition

Hello,
I'm facing an issue that I found it has been rose in the past but that never had an answer.
I'm using an external table to load a file on the database.
This file format is CSV (actually using ";" as delimiter) and it has header and trailer records that has the same format of data records, but contain field names in it.
E.g.:
FIELD_NAME1;FIELD_NAME2;...
I want to discard this records (for the header is easy, I can use SKIP 1 parameter) and the way I was trying to do this was using the following condition:
LOAD WHEN ( FIELD_NAME1 != "FIELD_NAME1" )
The problem arises when a record has the first field empty (hence NULL): the record is discarded.
Therefore I tried modifing the condition in this way:
LOAD WHEN ( ( FIELD_NAME1 != "FIELD_NAME1" ) OR ( ( FIELD_NAME1 = NULL ) )
but in this case I get the following error:
KUP-01005 : syntax error : found "null": expecting on of "blanks, double-quoted-string, hexprefix, identifier, single-quoted-string"
I've doublechecked Oracle reference and the NULL keyword is admitted - morover it is stated that a NULL value can be tested only against NULL value, otherwise the comparison returns false.
Can anyone help me solving this issue? Is it a bug in SQLLOADER Driver used by External Tables or an error in Oracle Reference?
Regards

It's an other option that I've already tried, but it doesn't work - and it is correct because in External Table statement I've specified to trim fields (LRTRIM), so there's no fields containing blanks (they're simply empty).
However, my main concern is that I tried to use a statement that should be correct - according to Oracle reference.
Instead I get an error regarding the syntax of the statement...
I think that I can workaround this problem - but it is a workaround, not a real solution... :-|

ORA-06502 error with external table having long records

I'm getting a strange error with the oci driver that I don't get with the thin driver.
The basic situation is that we using external tables and both the oci and thin drivers have been working until we tested with a table that had longer records than the previous tables. The new table has 1800 byte records.
The thin driver still works fine with the new table. However, the oci driver generates the following error with the new table:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
I suspect that with oci driver the oci DLLs are reading the external file and the DLLs can't handle the longer record length.
Particulars
- Oracle DB Server is 10.2.0.1 on SunOS 5.9
- OCI Instant Client instantclient_10_2 on Windows XP
- OCI client code from DB server installation running on DB server
- Works with thin driver from Windows XP and on DB server machine for all record lengths
- Works with both OCI drivers for records < 1800 bytes (don't know actual limit)
- Fails with both OCI drivers for records = 1800 bytes.
Does anyone out there have any thoughts.
Thanks in advance.

Your access parameters are in the wrong order. External tables are a bit fussy like that. Refer to the access_parameters section in the Utilities manual and follow the order there. From memory it will go something like this:
RECORDS DELIMITED...
LOG/BAD/DISCARDFILE...
FIELDS TERMINATED...LDRTRIM
MISSING FIELD VALUES...
fields...

Hi Ravi
Sounds like the instance's data dictionary is screwed up, I would try using a different database instance.

Error accessing External Table.

Hi All,
I am using external table for importing data. In that excel sheet certain fields are not mandatory. Whenever I try to import data from such excel sheets it is unable to refer those columns which don't have data in all fields. What shall i do, so that the external table will refer to all columns irrespective of whether its having data in all fields are not??
Please help me out.
Any help appreciated.
Venky

I think you have some problem with no of columns in your table as well no of columns in your excel sheet. Please paste the table description and excel sheet format here.
Cheers

match, insert into the EMP_HIST tables. Rows are considered matching when the employee's first and
last name are identical.
To me, this question is constructed wrongly. First of all in the last lab we have not been asked to create EMP_DATA. Secondly, EMP_DATA is empty.
Thirdly, this question asks us to merge into EMP_HIST table while EMP_DATA is empty.
EMP_HIST table currently has copied data from employees table. EMP_HIST structure:
FIRST_NAME VARCHAR2(20)
LAST_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(25)
EMAIL NOT NULL VARCHAR2(45)
Anway, i did the merge as following:
merge into emp_hist e
using emp_data d
on (e.first_name = d.first_name)
when matched then
update set
e.last_name = d.last_name,
e.email = d.email
when not matched then
insert values (d.first_name, d.last_name, d.email);
I get this error:
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04040: file emp.dat in EMP_DIR not found
ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", line 19
29913. 00000 - "error in executing %s callout"
*Cause:    The execution of the specified callout caused an error.
*Action:   Examine the error messages take appropriate action.
On the other hand, i said let me try this:
merge into emp_data d
using emp_hist e
on (d.first_name = e.first_name)
when matched then
update set
d.last_name = e.last_name,
d.email = e.email
when not matched then
insert values (e.first_name, e.last_name, e.email);
I get this error because external table is final once its created as far as i know:
Error report:
SQL Error: ORA-30657: operation not supported on external organized table
30657.0000 - "operation not supported on external organized table"
*Cause:    User attempted on operation on an external table which is
not supported.
*Action:   Don't do that!
I do not know what to do. I did my best, please help.

NOTE: I did my best, i did all what i can do, but the problem persists. Please help
I will mention all the steps i did clearly....
I gave scott the following grants:
grant create any directory to scott;
grant read on directory emp_dir to scott;
1. Created a directory and its been created successfully:
create or replace directory emp_dir
as 'F:\emp_dir';
Then i did the following just to make sure my directory is recognized:
SELECT *
FROM dba_directories;
I found the drive amongst the results...
OWNER DIRECTORY_NAME
DIRECTORY_PATH
SYS EMP_DIR
F:\emp_dir
SYS SUBDIR
D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\demo\schema\order_entry\/2002/Sep
SYS XMLDIR
D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\demo\schema\order_entry\
2. I created an external table emp_data (the script is given by the text book): done successfully
drop table emp_data;
CREATE TABLE emp_data
(first_name VARCHAR2(20)
,last_name VARCHAR2(20)
, email VARCHAR2(30)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
TYPE oracle_loader
DEFAULT DIRECTORY emp_dir
ACCESS PARAMETERS
RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE CHARACTERSET US7ASCII

NOLOGFILE
FIELDS
( first_name POSITION ( 1:20) CHAR
, last_name POSITION (22:41) CHAR
, email POSITION (43:72) CHAR )
LOCATION ('emp.dat') ) ;
3. I went to F:\ drive to see if emp_dir folder exist or not! I did not see it. I checked hidden files, nothing there. Anyway, i ignored it and did step 4.
<snip>
"Anyway, I ignored it . . . "
and hence the rest of your problems. I did not see in the steps you recounted that you acually created a directory ("folder") named "\emp_dir" on your f: drive. Nothing you create within the database will actually create that directory on the OS. Createing a directory in Oracle, createing an external table in Oracle, will only create pointers to objects that Oracle will simply assume actually exists.

Uplouad excel file to MDM cat. - External table isnt in the expected format

Hi expert,
We try to uploud an excel file to the SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 but when I connect to source and pick my excel file I get error message
"External table is not in the expected format".
I tried to uploud a very simple file, such as hierarchy file or supllier file.
Does anyone can help?
Thanks for your help!
Lori

1st check if you choose the File type as Excel in the Import manager !
then make sure the excel is saved as .xls extension ONLY
also check whats the version of the excel ? I mean excel 2003 , 2007 (i know these work)
thanks

Error while calling an procedure using an external table with C#.

Hello,
I am developping a scheduler application with Visual Studio 2010 (C#) to start my PL/SQL procedures.
Everything works fine with every procedure but one who is reading the content of an external table.
Strange thing is when i launch the same procedure with Toad, i have no problem, but when i launch it with my C# code :
            OracleCommand cmdMET = new OracleCommand();
            cmdMET.CommandText = "STG_AE.M_MET_S_EXT_DEFECT";
            cmdMET.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
            cmdMET.Connection = con;
            //OracleParameter retvalMET = new OracleParameter("retval", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 50);
            //retvalMET.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue;
            //cmdMET.Parameters.Add(retvalMET);
            cmdMET.ExecuteNonQuery();
I've got this error :
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEFETCH callout
ORA-01722: invalid number
ORA-06512: at "STG_AE.M_MET_S_EXT_DEFECT", line 8
ORA-06512: at "STG_AE.MET_SRC", line 10
ORA-06512: at "STG_AE.MET", line 14
ORA-06512: at line 1
I can't figure out why it works when i launch it with Toad and why i get this error when launching it with C#... Any advice would be great !
Thanks!

You're right!
Adding
string sql = "ALTER SESSION SET NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = \",.\"";
OracleCommand cmd = new OracleCommand(sql, con);
cmd.CommandType = CommandType.Text;
OracleDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader();
solved the problem !
Thanks a lot =)

KUP-01005 error when selecting external table

Hi All,
My name is arun. I am having trouble resolving the following error. I tried to google, search oracle forum but no avail. I would really appreciate some help? I hope someone point me to the right direction with this problem. Thank you.
Scenario :
I have done the following :
1. Created the external directories using a user account(KDEV199). However by default its owned by SYS user.
2. Created the table necessary for selection. This was done by user account(KDEV199)
3. I have granted the folder privileges owned by oinstall:oracle where the 2 physical files exists. Thus all the files is owned by oracle. This was done at OS layer.
4. I have created 2 files necessary to extract data & read in oracle. This was done at OS layer.
The problem is that i have the following when i try to select the table :
SQL> select * from TEXN_IGM_MST;
select * from TEXN_IGM_MST
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout

Error when loading from External Tables in OWB 11g

Hi,
I face a strange problem while loading data from flat file into the External Tables.
ORA-12899: value too large for column EXPIRED (actual: 4, maximum: 1)
error processing column EXPIRED in row 9680 for datafile <data file location>/filename.dat
In a total of 9771 records nearly 70 records are rejected due to the above mentioned error. The column (EXPIRED) where the error being reported doesn't have value greater than 1 at all. I suspect it to be a different problem.
Example: One such record that got rejected is as follows:
C|234|Littérature commentée|*N*|2354|123
highlightened in Bold is the EXPIRED Column.
When I tried to insert this record into the External Table using UTL_FILE Utility it got loaded successfully. But when I try with the file already existing in the file directory it again fails with the above error, and I would like to mention that all the records which have been loaded are not Ok, please have a look at the DESCRIPTION Column which is highlightened. The original information in the data file looks like:
C|325|*Revue Générale*|N|2445|132
In the External Table the Description Value is replaced by the inverted '?' as follows:
Reue G¿rale
Please help.
Thanks,
JL.
