Sql query to downloaded csv file

Hi.
This is probably something really easy, but I cant find how to do it.
I want to run a dynamic SQL query and have the output appear in csv format as a file the user can save to disk.
Is this easy, if so how? Or is there a longer packaged based solution to this?
Regards,
Asim

Asim,
First you need to create a report, you can use a simple SQL query based report, or if your query is dynamic, use a region of type PL/SQL function returning SQL query. Then go to the reports attributes page and enable the CSV link for that report. When running your report page, youâll notice a CSV export link that lets your download your report as a CSV file.
Alternatively, If you donât want to run the report as a regular HTML DB page at all, then you could just choose the CSV template as the report template on the reports attributes page. When running the page with that template, it opens a file download dialog for the CSV file right away. You could integrate this with your own application by placing a âdownloadâ button on some other page, that on clicking of this button branches to the CSV download page and by doing so, lets you download the file.

FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R error in the downloaded csv file

Hello,
I'm trying to use the functionality of the FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R as follows:
href="f?p=&APP_ID.:14:&SESSION.:FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R&P_REGION_ID._en"
Where the computation for P_REGION_ID is:
SELECT region_id FROM apex_application_page_regions
WHERE application_id = :app_id
AND page_id = :app_page_id
AND region_name = 'CSV export'
In the downloaded CSV file i get the following:
- the first row: +<||div id="report_33994800669487811_catch">+
- the last 2 row: +<||pre>report error:+
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error<||/pre>
(|| - sign is so I can show the tags in the post)
The rest of the data is downloaded ok.
But still how can i get rid of these errors?
Thanks,
Adela

It seems that the problem was caused by the "_en" termination (FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R&P_REGION_ID.*_en*).
But is there any way to get rid of the <||div id="report_33994800669487811_catch"> <||/div> tags from the begining, respective the end of the CSV file ?
Thanks,
Adela

Query Output to CSV file

Hi,
I am trying to export a Query result to CSV in comma-delimited tab format.
In SBO it is allowing to save the query results as CSV file; but when I opened
it is in 'Text Unicode' filetype.
Is there anyway save it directly as CSV in comma-delimited tab format.
Thanks Regards
Shiva

Hi Gordon,
Sorry could not reply soon.
Its a smiple query
"SELECT ItemCode, ItemName, ItmsGrpNam,
LeadTime, VATLiable, CardCode"
The things is we might make some changes to it based on customer requirement. But the fact is no matter what query, I have no problem with query. It is while saving it is making a 'tab-delimited' file rather than 'comma-delimited file'. User has to manually open it and save it as CSV file.

Download csv file with strange file name.

hi, guys:
We installed Oracle APEX 4.2, and APEX listener 2.0 and Oracle 11g standard edition for our application. But sometimes when user tried to download csv file from an interactive report, the file name was a very strange one, sometimes even no .csv extension. could anyone give me a hint to find documentation about it?
Thanks.

a little more information about it:
I found the file name is "&P16_DIP_START_DATE NOA", which we expect to generate a file named as " some date NOA.csv", but APEX does not recognize the value of variable. For example, if teh value of P16_DIP_START_DATE is 11/15/2012, we expect the file name as "11/15/2012 NOA.csv", but APEX will give us very strange file name replaceing every "/" with / I appreciate anyone who could help me on this issue. But We did not encounter this [roblem on APEX 4.1, OC4J and Oracle 11g R2 enterprise.
Thanks.
I just used to_char to output date without "/" and soleved it. The other way is to set application property-->security-->browser security with basic level. This only applies to APEX 4.2. I am lucky for that I am using Apex 4.2.

I can has editing?Suspect you are trying to explain that "/"s are being rendered as <tt>&#x2F</tt>? If you want to include character entities in forum posts then you have to type the ampersand ("&") as an entity itself, thus: <tt>&amp;#x2F</tt>.Windows or *NIX filenames can't contain "/"s anyway, so you can't use them regardless of how APEX is rendering them. Using a <tt>YYYYMMDD</tt> format is also recommended as it follows date order when using character comparison semantics.

Downloading csv file does not ask for where to store file

Firefox is set to "Always ask me where to save files".
I have a WebService from which to download a download.csv file via a POST request (must be a POST request and not a GET request due to data issues).
I'm using jquery.fileDownload.js in the Website to achieve this. When pressing the download button, the screen 'Opening download.csv' opens with the option 'Save File' preset. After pressing OK, an explorer window should occur to be able to choose the file location. But it is NOT shown. Instead nothing more happens.
What could be the problem?
P.S.: in other browsers it works fine.

Hello gnittala,
thanks for your response.
1. MIME type is set correctly.
2. When using this config, the file is downloaded correctly.
Now I found out, what was the problem:
the jquery.fileDownload.js plugin was deleting the internally used iframe too early, so that the explorer window could not be displayed. Keeping the iframe longer (at least until explorer window is shown, or easier reuse it in next download call) solves the problem.

BEA 9.2 Portal issue: downloaded CSV file contains embedded html code

We have J2EE application using BEA 9.2 Portal framework, and one of the page has feature to generate report( in pop up window) in CSV file format. As per the history from previous developer, BEA 8.1 didn't have this issue but, after mirgration to 9.2, they started having file download error( incomplete contents ..). To overcome this issue they commented out setting content length to HttpServletResponse as attached below, but this, now, causes html page source code of the parent page( where submit button is clicked to generate csv file report) being rendered along with actual report in the downloaded CSV file. Has anyone have this sort of issue? If so, can you please share your thoughts? or any thoughts in general?
BEA 9.2 with Portal framework, JDK 15, JSP, Beehive NetUI, Sun Microsystem Solaris server
Here is the source code that avoids setting content length and reasoning behind it..
private static void setResponseHeadersForCSVFile(HttpServletResponse response, String filename, int contentLength)
String mimeType = mimeTypes.getContentType(filename);
response.reset();
response.setContentType(mimeType);
// DON'T explicitly set the content length, since the length of the String or StringBuffer that contains
// the contents of the CSV file will be character encoded when it is actually written to the output stream, based
// upon the character encoding of this JVM App Server's settings. So let the JVM App Server framework apply the character
// encoding AND set the final and truly correct content length header at the time the contents of the String or StringBuffer are truly
// streamed back to the user.
//response.setContentLength(contentLength);
response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + filename + "\"; size=" + contentLength);
}

1) Yes, the old content.tld is available as part of a web library module as a taglib.tld file. The module is: wlp-services-web-lib.war, which can be found in your bea/weblogic92/portal/lib/modules directory.
2) The new API is accessible from the ContentManagerFactory class. This provides access to INodeManager, ITypeManager, ISearchManager, etc. The new API is contained within the com.bea.content.federated package. The 8.1.x API in the com.bea.content.manager package including RepositoryManager, NodeOps, SearchOps, etc. has been deprecated with 9.2.
3) Yes, via the new I*Manager implementations. The entitlement support is for application-scoped visitor roles. Make sure you're using the ISearchManager when performing search operations. This will ensure secure results are returned.

Interactive Report Download CSV file Issue (output includes separator BR)

Hi,
I have a Interactive Report and displaying the column values (multiple values in same ROW) as mentioned below.
SQL Query
select deptno,
       function1(empno) empno
from emp
IR Output
Dept       Employee No
10         AAA,BBB,CCC, ...    // - Row 1
20         XXX,YYY,ZZZ, ...    // - Row 2 Now I want to display each employee in a new Line, so modified the SQL Query
Modified SQL Query
select deptno,
       REPLACE(function1(empno),',','<br>') empno
from emp
New IR Output
Dept       Employee No
10         AAA
           BBB
           CCC
           ...    // - Row 1
20         XXX
           YYY
           ZZZ
            ...    // - Row 2 SO, Interactive Report Out put looks fine and that's the way we want.
But the problem is when I download the Report in CSV or in PDF using the Action Menu -> Download..
I am getting break line B R in the output, and also I have two different output in CSV for two different column. [Logic is same for both the columns.]
CSV output1
Employee No
AAA<br>BBB<br>CCC
XXX<br>YYY<br>ZZZI have other columns also with multiple values...for that column, I am getting the following CSV output
CSV output2
City List
1111<br>
2222<br>
3333<br>So, in CSV for one column, I am getting all the values in same line with the seperator B R (Output1)
for other column, I am getting values in new line with the separator B R. (Output2)
Is there a way to FIX this CSV or PDF output for Interactive Report.
I DON'T WANT THE SEPARATOR BR in CSV and also the values should always be in New Line.
I want to have the following Output in CSV
Employee No
AAA
BBB
CCCThanks,

Thanks.. Jari.. for the quick response.
I updated my SQL query with Chr(10) and added the code in Page HTML header.
Now the CSV & PDF output are fine..getting each individual value in seperate line (no BR tag)
BUT in the Interactive Report Output, I am now getting first 2 values in 1 line, then next value in next line, and so on..
IR Output
Employee
AAA BBB
CCCCCCC
DDDDDI have few more issues with CSV & PDF output
1. In PDF is there a way to increase the column width, as for some of the columns, the values are getting truncated.
2. For some of the columns in IR Report, I have user BR tag in Column Heading and this also come in CSV output (column heading with BR tag), is there a way to fix this. In PDF Column headings are fine (no BR tag)
and by the way..what exactly this does.

Add text to downloaded CSV file

Hi.
I'm trying to place a text at the bottom of the csv file, but I can not find the way to do it.
What I'm trying to do is, after all rows downloaded in my csv file, I'd like to place a general comment in the next row regarding some information about the data I've downloaded.
Is this possible?
Thanks
Ivo

one of my colleagues might have a better answer for this, but one not-so-elegant way to get a message to display at the bottom of your csv output would be to manually put your own "download to csv" link on your page. have that link go to another page in your app that reports on the same query as your original report. put a region of type HTML right after your duplicate report region that displays the text you want to see in your csv output (be sure to use "No Template" for this region's template). change the report template of the second report region to "export: CSV". now when users click your manually added "download to csv" link, they'll be linked over to your other page. that page will immediately output the csv data as well as the additional line from your extra HTML region.
hope this helps,
raj

Export query results into .csv file?

Hello I have a T-SQL script that gets row counts for a specified date range and then needs to loop (by incrementing +1 day to get the next day's counts) for a large date range. I'm aiming to output & append each query results day counts
into a .csv file via a SQL Agent job since this will take quite a while to complete.
Would using the following as an example template...
INSERT INTO OPENROWSET('Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0','Text;Database=D:\;HDR=YES;FMT=Delimited','SELECT * FROM [FileName.csv]')
SELECT Field1, Field2, Field3
FROM DatabaseName
...be the method or something else?
If this is good to use I've tried running this but get the following error:
Msg 7357, Level 16, State 2, Line 76
Cannot process the object "SELECT * FROM [FileName.csv]". The OLE DB provider "Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0" for linked server "(null)" indicates that either the object has no columns or the current user does not have permissions
on that object.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Techresearch7777777,
The error in your post says that the file FileName.csv has to be created with the column names in the first row. Like:
Field1,Field2,Field3
Either you can create a schema.ini file under the same folder:
[FileName.csv]
Format=CSVDelimited
ColNameHeader=False
Col1=Field1 [DataType]
Col2=Field2 [DataType]
Col3=Field3 [DataType]
For the [DataType],you can reference
Schema.ini File (Text File Driver)
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

SQL bulk copy from csv file - Encoding

Hi Experts
This is the first time I am creating a PowerShell script and it is almost working. I just have some problems with the actual bulk import to SQL encoding from the text file since it replaces
special characters with a question mark. I have set the encoding when creating the csv file but that does not seem to reflect on the actual bulk import. I have tried difference scenarios with the encoding part but I cannot find the proper solution for that.
To shortly outline what the script does:
Connect to Active Directory fetching all user - but excluding users in specific OU's
Export all users to a csv in unicode encoding
Strip double quote text identifiers (if there is another way of handling that it will be much appreciated)
Clear all records temporary SQL table
Import records from csv file to temporary SQL table (this is where the encoding is wrong)
Update existing records in another table based on the records in the temporary table and insert new record if not found.
The script looks as the following (any suggestions for optimizing the script are very welcome):
# CSV file variables
$path = Split-Path -parent "C:\Temp\ExportADUsers\*.*"
$filename = "AD_Users.csv"
$csvfile = $path + "\" + $filename

I can see that the Export-CSV exports into ANSI though the encoding has been set to UNICODE. Thanks for leading me in the right direction.
No - it exports as Unicode if set to.
Your export was wrong and is exporting nothing. Look closely at your code:
THis line exports nothing in Unicode"
Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation $csvfile -Encoding Unicode -Delimiter $csvdelimiter
There is no input object.
This line converts any file to ansi
(Get-Content $csvfile) | foreach {$_ -replace '"'} | Set-Content $csvfile
Set-Content defaults to ANSI so the output file is converted.
Since you are just dumping into a table by manually building a recorset why not just go direct. You do not need a CSV. Just dump theresults of the query to a datatable.
https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/scriptcenter/4208a159-a52e-4b99-83d4-8048468d29dd
This script dumps to a datatable object which can now be used directly in a bulkcopy.
Here is an example of how easy this is using your script:
$AllADUsers = Get-ADUser -server $ADServer -searchbase $searchbase -Filter * -Properties GivenName,SN,EmployeeID,objectGUID |
Where{
$_.DistinguishedName -notmatch 'OU=MeetingRooms,OU=Users,DC=fabrikam,DC=com'
-and $_.DistinguishedName -notmatch 'OU=FunctionalMailbox,OU=Users,DC=fabrikam,DC=com'
} |
Select-Object @{N='UNID';E={$_.objectGuid}},
@{N='FirstName';Expression = {$_.GivenName}},
@{N='LastName';Expression = {$_.sn}},
@{N=/EmployeeNo;Expression = {$_.EmployeeID}} |
Out-DataTable
$AllDUsers is now a datatable. You can just upload it.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

SQL Query results to CSV as two worksheets

I'm trying to take two SQL queries and get the results sent to a CSV file on two worksheets. Looking online I have not found a solid example of using the Excel ComObject to create a CSV then add a new worksheet to the CSV file. An added bonus
would be using AutoFit on the columns so everything is easily visible.
Code found online got me the following script which does work, however it takes 12 minutes to pipe the SQL queries to Excel. Switching to a CSV and the script executes in 5 seconds.
This is another nice to have, I was also looking the best way to look at the results (only 1 column) and depending on the length of the data, insert what Excel would call a Cell thereby shifting cells RIGHT but so far have found no clear examples of how
to accomplish that. My guess would be modifying my SQL queries but I've posted a question on StackOverFlow and someone suggested modifying the PowerShell Table created from the SQL dataset.Tables

Here's what I ended up with that accomplishes my goal. I learned it's not possible to create a CSV with two worksheets since Excel will allow this but the CSV cannot be saved with the second worksheet. Instead, I create two CSV files then merge
them into one Excel workbook, one CSV per worksheet. In my case, this happens in 5 seconds. There is one thing which must be mentioned, I've seen this script fail the first time it is run but will successfully run the second time.
Also note, after much trial and error, this code correctly cleans up the Excel ComObject!! -Thanks go to JRV.

Need help to download csv file in application by writting to outputstream.

HI All,
Requirment of my client is donloading CSV file from portal.
My approach is:
On clicking "Download" button in JSP I am calling an action in controller and from here I am redirecting call to DownloadCSV.jsp where i am writing to output stream of response.
Action called in controller:
     @Jpf.Action(forwards = { @Jpf.Forward(name = StaticConstants.SUCCESS, redirect = true, path = "DownloadCSV.jsp") })
     public Forward gotoReports() {
          Forward forward = new Forward(StaticConstants.SUCCESS);
          return forward;
Download jsp:
response.resetBuffer();
     response.reset();
     response.setContentType("application/vnd.ms-excel");
     response.addHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename="+ companyId +"_Audit_Report.csv");
     ServletOutputStream os = response.getOutputStream();
          os .println();
          os .print("DATE");
          os .print("USER");
os .println();
os.flush();
os.close();
I am able to download the csv file in excel. But after that i am not able to perform any operation in portal page. Mouser pointer becomes busy and cant click on anything.
Second approach followed:
I wrote the code for writting to outputstream of outputresponse in controller action itself and forwarded to the same jsp where my download button resides.
Problem:
Download happens perfectly but the excel in csv format contains the portal framework generated content also other than content i wrote to response.
If u have any other approach to download an excel without redirecting to JSP plz let me know. Coing is being done in 10.2 weblogic portal.
Please help. Its very urgent.
Plz let me know how a file can be downloded in portal context without keeping a file at server side. I need to download file by writting to outputstream.
If it is possible plz attach one small example project also.
Thanks a ton in advance.
It is very important plz do reply.

Hi Srinivas,
For downloading binary content that is not text/html, the Oracle WebLogic Portal content management tools use javascript in an onclick event handler to set the window URL to the URL of a download pageflow controller: window.location = url. The content management tools are in a portal so it should be possible for you to do the same thing.
The url is a custom pageflow controller that streams the bytes to the response. It sounds like you already have a pageflow you could recycle to use in that way. You don't want to stay within your portlet pageflow because then you will be streaming bytes into the middle of a portal response. You want a separate download pageflow that you invoke directly, outside of the portal framework (in other words, don't invoke it by rendering a portlet that invokes the pageflow).
You can set the url to invoke the pageflow directly by giving the path to the pageflow controller from the web root (remember the pageflow path matches the package name of the pageflow controller class) like this: "/content/node/nodeSelected/download/DownloadContentController.jpf"
By the way, for the case of text/html, the tools uses a standalone portlet URL so that the text/html is not rendered in the browser window, which would replace the portal markup (because the browser renders text/html by default, instead of giving you a download widget or opening some other application to deal with the bytes).

Download CSV-File from Interactive Report

Dear all,
I want to download a CSV-File from a Interactive report.
The content of the Rows in Excel:
Erste,"B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J","K","L","M","N","O","P"
IBC ->,"-","1","2","3","4","5","6","7","8","9","10","11","12","13","14" [...]
How can I solve this problem?
Thanks for help.

Your CSV-File use "comma" as separator. But Excel think, that CSV-File separator is "semicolon".
Try to set "CSV Separator"=";" in section "Report Attributes" - "Download".
