SQL Loader, nested tables and default values

Is there a way to specify a default value for a nested table entry when SQL*Loader encounters a 'null' value?
I want to avoid this:
Record 5: Rejected - Error on table LEVEL_DESC, column LEVELS.
NULL nested table element is not allowed

Use the NULLIF parameter in your control file for the nested table objects.
e.g
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'level_data.dat'
INTO TABLE LEVEL
(LEVEL_ID POSITION (01:05) CHAR
LEVEL_NAME POSITION (07:20)
LEVEL_DESC COLUMN OBJECT
(LEVELS POSITION (22:25) CHAR NULLIF LEVEL_DESC.LEVELS=BLNAKS,
... ))

SQL LOADER , EXTERNAL TABLE and ODBS DATA SOURCE

hello
Can any body help loading data from dbase file .dbt to an oracle 10g table.
I tried last day with SQL LOADER, EXTERNAL table , and ODBC data source.
Why all of these utilities still failing to solve my problem ?
Is there an efficient way to reach this goal ?
Thanks in advance

export the dbase data file to text file,
then you have choice of using either sql loader or external table option to use.

Well you are doing almost everything wrong that could be done wrong.
Here is code that works to insert data into your table (the procedure isn't even needed).
declare
p_sl_num NUMBER := 1001;
p_description VARCHAR2(50) := 'Testing Val1';
inval1 test_type1 := test_type1();
inval2 test_type2 := test_type2();
begin
inval1.extend();
inval1(1) := test_object1('testx1', 'testx2', 'testx3');
inval2.extend();
inval2(1) := test_object2('testy1', 'testy2', 'testy3');
INSERT INTO test_object_tpe
sl_num,
description,
main_val1,
main_val2
VALUES
(p_sl_num, p_description, inval1, inval2);
commit;
end;
/See Example 5-15 Referencing a Nested Table Element in Chap 5 Using PL/SQL Collections and Records in the PL/SQL doc
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28370/collections.htm#CJABEBEA
1. You don't even need the procedure since all it does is a simple INSERT into the table which you can do directly (see my code above)
inval1(1).val1 := 'testx1';There is no element one (1) of 'inval1' since you haven't created any elements yet. You need to EXTEND the collection to add an element
inval1.extend();And then there is an empty element but 'inval1' is a container for objects of type 'test_object1' not for scalars like 'val1', 'val2', and 'val3'.
So you can't do
inval1(1).val1 := 'testx1';You have to create an instance of 'test_object1'
inval1(1) := test_object1('testx1', 'testx2', 'testx3');And so on for the other collection
You don't need the procedure (as my sample code shows) but once you populate the variables properly it will work.

PL/SQL insert nested table value into another nested table.

Hi Guy
I've created a table with nested table in and inserted some values. note: this is just an example the real table has more values inserted.
REATE OR REPLACE TYPE tt_hours AS OBJECT(hours INTEGER, data NUMBER);
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE tt_day AS VARRAY(7) OF tt_hours;
CREATE TABLE old_table
DAY DATE,
VALUE_hours tt_day
INSERT INTO old_table
(day, value_hours)
VALUES
(TO_DATE('01/06/2012 22:00:34'),
tt_DAY(
tt_hours(1,0.025727),
tt_hours(2,0.012047),
tt_hours(3,0.012857),
tt_hours(4,0.012107),
tt_hours(5,0.012849),
tt_hours(6,0.01215),
tt_hours(7,0.0129)))
I've also created another table with same structure but with no value inserted.
REATE OR REPLACE TYPE yy_hours AS OBJECT(thours INTEGER, tdata NUMBER);
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE yy_day AS VARRAY(7) OF yy_hours;
CREATE TABLE new_table ( tDAY DATE, VALUE_thours yy_day )
I run a select from statement which workout the average of data from old table by group.
SELECT to_char(DAY, 'Day'), hours, AVG(data)
FROM old_table n, TABLE(n.value_hours) v
GROUP BY to_char(DAY, 'Day'), hours;
How do I insert the result in new_table's ?

I believe I said
>
You basically need to construct the INSERT statement just like you did manually for the first table.
>
and instead you used
INSERT INTO new_table a (tday, t.hours, t.DATA) TABLE(a.value_thours) t This is what you did manually for the first table. Do you see TABLE (...) in here anywhere?
INSERT INTO old_table
(day, value_hours)
VALUES
(TO_DATE('01/06/2012 22:00:34'),
tt_DAY(
tt_hours(1,0.025727),
tt_hours(2,0.012047),
tt_hours(3,0.012857),
tt_hours(4,0.012107),
tt_hours(5,0.012849),
tt_hours(6,0.01215),
tt_hours(7,0.0129)))NO YOU DON'T - you used a tt_DAY constructor for the outer nested table and multiple tt_hours constructors for the inner nested table.
You need to do the same thing in your INSERT query.

Not unless you provide the code you are actually using.
There is no definition of 'p_code_result' in your post and you say you 'trying to select data from d_table' but there is no code that loads 'd_table' in what you posted.
And the SELECT query you posted actuall selects from an object named 'l_loop_idag_code_table1' which isn't mentioned in your code.
Post the actual code you are using and all of the structures being used.
Also explain why you even need to use nested tables and PL/SQL for whatever it is you are really doing.

JSP: DispalyTag - Nested table and rows

Hi!
I�d like to know if it�s possibile create new row with dispalytag.
I have a nested table (and long list), but I�d like to have the items under the header, not items in a column of the header. I tried with <tr> but doesn�t work.
Is it possibile to creat a row? And how??? I thought I must use decorators (org.displaytag.model.Row) but when I run my application it doesn't work.
Can you help me?
Thanks
Annalisa

Thanks for the quick response. I was thinking I might get a response from someone who had tried it, so I didn't waste time trying it myself. I consider your response is pretty authoritative, and I'll take that as a sign that I should forget the nested tables design.
No, polymorphic views probably won't do the job. I think I'll just go ahead and create staging versions of each detail table with foreign keys back to the master staging table. Then I'll let the wizard create the needed association objects and view links in ADF BC. It will complicate the procedure for applying changes, particularly adding a row to the change history table. But that's the price we'll need to pay.
OTOH - I just had a thought - since the change history table is mostly for auditing, it appears in some reports, but has no CRUD in the application, other than the insert when the changes are applied. If I did that insert with a trigger or some other PL/SQL, then the change history could still be a single table with nested table columns for the details.

Nested Tables and Advanced Queues- Please Help.

How do i work with NestedTable type and Advanced Queue.
I have done the following
I have Oracle 8.1.7 enterprise edition.
create type myType as TABLE OF varchar(32);
create type myObject as OBJECT (
id int,
myt myType);
DECLARE
BEGIN
dbms_aqadm.create_queue_table(
queue_table => 'my_queue_table',
multiple_consumers => TRUE,
queue_payload_type => 'myObject',
compatible => '8.1.3'
END;
The Nested Table and Object are created successfully.
but the queue is not created.
I get the following message.
DECLARE
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-22913: must specify table name for nested table column or
attribute
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_AQADM_SYS", line 2012
ORA-06512: at "SYS.DBMS_AQADM", line 55
ORA-06512: at line 3
I know how to specify the nested table storage clause for
create table statement, but there is no provision for
it in the create_queue_table procedure.
Any help will be greately appriciated.
i have already created and tested aqs with simple data types,
also i have created simple tables with nested table type
elements.
but the combo of Nested tables and AQ is not working.
thanks in advance.

Hi Francois. Thank you very much for your reply, but it seems that i still get errors. So let me tell what i have done.
As you suggested me: i have done a block based on a sub-query for the nested-table:
'select courses from department where name= :department.name'.
In the master block(department) i have the when-new-record-instance trigger:
Declare
LC$Req varchar2(256);
Begin
LC$Req := '(select ns.courses from table
( select courses from department where name = ''' || :DEPARTMENT.name || ''' ) ns )';
Go_block('block11');
Clear_Block ;
Set_Block_Property( 'block11', QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME, LC$Req ) ;
Execute_query ;
End ;
Now the errors i receive, this time in the runtime mode are:
- FRM-41380: Cannot set the blocks query data source
-FRM-41003: This function cannot be performed here.
Since it seems that you know how to work with the nested table i would really appreaciate your help. I am new in the nested table and if you could give an ex with my tables it would be great.
Thank you in advance.

Unable to export nested tables and vaarys

Hai
How to export nested tables and varrays in oracle 8i (8.1.6) .When exporting nested tables and varrays not exporting .What is the advantage use of nested tables and varrays
Thanks in advance
mohan

Hello,
I think that with such a new release you should use DataPump (expdp/impdb) to
export Tables.
For exporting a complete Schema you may use the following syntax:
expdp {color:red}+user+{color}/{color:red}+password+{color} PARFILE=pfexport.txt_With pfexport.txt as bellow:_
SCHEMAS={color:red}+schema_name+{color}
FLASHBACK_TIME="TO_TIMESTAMP(to_char(SYSDATE,'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')"
CONTENT=ALL
DIRECTORY=EXP_DIR
DUMPFILE={color:red}+dump_file_name+{color}
LOGFILE={color:red}+log_file_name+{color}Then, in this example, you'll get the "dump file" and the "log file" into the EXP_DIR Oracle directory (if it exists).
You can check your Oracle Directories with the following query:
select * from dba_directories;Then, you can use one of these Directories or create a new one with the following statement
CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY {color:red}+directory_name+{color} AS '{color:red}+directory_path+{color}';
GRANT READ,WRITE ON DIRECTORY {color:red}+directory_name+{color} TO {color:red}+user_name+{color};Hope it can help,
Best regards,

Validations and default Values in ALV Grid

All,
I am using "set_table_for_first_display" to display a grid with empty editable rows wherein which users can enter data and process certain transactions.
My requirement is to know if we can provide drop-downs and default values in this grid. for ex. if user want to insert a row, that row should automatically have some default values like company code, sales org etc.
Also, if there is an error while validating the data, I should be able to set the focus on that field while displaying the error message. I was able to display error message but could not set the focus on the field that need to be corrected.
Your earlier response is much appreciated.
Regards
Kasi

Nested Tables and Forms 9i-please help

Hi
i have the folowing example of a nested table:
CREATE TYPE CourseList AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(10) -- define TABLE type
CREATE TYPE Student AS OBJECT ( -- create object
id_num INTEGER(4),

CREATE TYPE CourseList AS TABLE OF Course;
CREATE TABLE department (name VARCHAR2(20),
director VARCHAR2(20),
office VARCHAR2(20),
courses CourseList)
NESTED TABLE courses STORE AS courses_tab;
In Forms i have created a data block based on table department and for managing the nested table courses_tab i found out that i should use a stored procedure:
PROCEDURE procedure_nest (c_c out courses_tab%rowtype) IS
c_c courselist;
BEGIN
select c.name, c.director,office into :department.name, :department.director,
:department.office from department c , table
(select n.courses from department n where c.name =n.name and rownum<=1);
END;
compil error:

SQL Loader, direct path and indexes on partition tables

Hi,
I have a big partitioned table and I have two indexes on it.
When I use SQL Loader to upload data to my table with using OPTIONS (DIRECT=TRUE) UNRECOVERABLE , then it takes almost half hour to load just one record!!
When I remove OPTIONS (DIRECT=TRUE), then it takes just two seconds to upload the same one record.
Am I missing anything? Can I use direct path load on indexed partitioned tables and have reasonable load time ?
An scheduled external job loads almost 100,000 records into this table every hour and I am trying to make the sql*loader performance it as fast as possible.
Any help would be appreciated,
Alan

Hi Alan,
How big is this table and what sort of indexes are they?
An index update using SQL*Loader unrecoverable direct path load is achieved by an isolated sort followed by a nologging merge of the old index and the new mini-index into a new index segment (this according to seminar notes by Jonathan Lewis). This will conceivably take a long time for a large table / large index.
Performance improvements? Are you loading all records into a new partition?
Cheers,
Colin
