Tab separated columns in sqlldr

How do i load a file with columns separated by tab. Some people say mention FIELDS TERMINATED BY '\t' and some say FIELDS TERMINATED BY X'9'. Which is correct and what is the difference between the two.
Oracle version 10.2.
Please give suggestions. Thanks.

The Oracle Server Utilities Manual would tell which one is correct,
Please do not ask questions for which you can find the answer yourself at http://tahiti.oracle.com easily.

Table as tab separated columns in a file using Java

I want to design a general java procedure which will take a oracle table name as input and will store the fields of table separated by tabs in a file.
For this i need to have access to field names of tables as i have to store them as headings.
How to get field names as strings?
I know that this can better be created by using file package of oracle and writing a PL/SQL procedure, but it will store it on oracle server machine and i want the file to be on client.
Any suggestions?
-Sameer

In addition to having the data in the Oracle data dictionary, if you're writing a Java program you'll presumably be using JDBC which has a variety of MetaData classes that expose this sort of information.
If you're looking for speed, you might also search asktom.oracle.com for "SQL Unloader" which is a Pro*C program Tom Kyte wrote for this sort of thing.

Tab Separated file for Sales Order creation

Hi,
I am creating a Z Report which intern calls BAPI BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 for creating Sales Orders.
Sales Order details I am giving through Tab Separated File which contains all details like
   1) Header Details

Store table data in a tab separated file in oracle apex

How to store table data in a tab separated file in oracle apex ?
Suppose i have a table 'Table1' as shown below.
id name
1 x
2 y
I want to get the result 'select * from table1;' into a tab separated file in oracle apex.

For client you could
- invoke call to Oracle Reports, where an .rdf is ready to generate one for you
- utilise download as csv option in interactive reports
- call page that generates csv using htp package (CSV Download without Header, possible?
- modify an interactive report to do a similar thing (http://www.talkapex.com/2009/04/custom-download-for-apex-interactive.html)

TAB SEPARATED instead of COMMA SEPARATED

Hi everybody,
I need to generate a Comma Separated File with reports 9i. As I read here on OTN I defined Destination Format as DELIMITEDDATA and I tried DELIMITED. In the first try, report builder crashed instantly and in the latter try, report builder creates a TAB SEPARATED file.
When I open (import) this file to Excell, the data are put in one cell in a rather unreadable form.
Does anyone have an idea how to get the result in a REAL COMMA SEPARATED FILE???
Thanx
Hans

Use the parameter DELIMITER=',' .
I think it works

How to set when press Tab in column matrix, then it will show a list

Hi
I want to my form exactly as Sales order, so when I press Tab in item No (on sales order) column it will show list of item
So I want to create my own form with matrix, and in the first column I want to set Tab event, so when I press Tab in that column it will shown list of something from database.
how to get an event Tab in column matrix ??
and what object in the list of item form (on sales order) ?? matrix or grid or something else ??
Thanks

Hi,
Linking a ChooseFromList to the matrix column should give you what you want. Samples of using the ChooseFromList can be found in the SDK HelpCenter and here in the SDN forum. For example:
choosefromlist in the fields of a matrix
Kind Regards,
Owen
P.S. Please note, you have posted this question in the general SAP Business One forum. Your question is more about development so I would recommend you post in the SAP Business One SDK forum rather than here.

Import data from tsv (tab separated values) file

I have a large tab separated values file that I want to import into an oracle table so I can a) run queries on this data and b) split into smaller and more manageable files.
I'm very new to Oracle. I have installed 10g XE and sql_developer.
This tsv file has 3,684,011 rows. Maybe it could be imported into an Access DB then into Oracle, but that seems like extra work??

I have a text.tsv file (Google calls it a csv, but
that's their error) which I feel I should be able to
just drop onto AW and have it open in a spreadsheet.
All I get is a couple of odd characters in the A1
cell.
Try dropping the file onto an open AppleWorks word processor document. If it is indeed a tab delimited text file, with no internal formatting information, you should then be able to copy it and paste into a spreadsheet.
Your comment regarding "a couple of odd characters in the A1 cell" indicates to me that there's more than simply text, tabs and returns in the file. If that's the case, you should be able to see the extra (often odd) characters in the WP document. If so, toggle 'Show invisibles' to on by pressing command-; (semi colon), then copy only the relevant text, tabs (will show as a right pointing arrow) and returns (will show as a reversed L haped arrow pointing left), and paste that block into your spreadsheet.

Barry

Problem in Uploading Data using a Tab Separated File?

Create text file (ASCII), tab separated and load in sap (transaction al11)

hi..
i need to create a text file (ASCII), tab separated in sap which can be viewed in transaction AL11.
thank you.

Hi kailashl,
Do intend to create a tab delimited file through program. or is it that you wish to diretly place the file on the application server.
PS: if you wish to place the file which you have on the application server from presentation you use the tcode CG3Z, you need to give the source file path on the front end and target path on the application.
If you wish to write the file onto the app server using program that you can do using dataset. and for tab delimited u can use CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>HORIZONTAL_TAB.
PS: Award points ONLY if the solution was useful to you.

Open hub with tab separator

Hello,
I've an open hub to export to flat file. Is it possible to use a tab in the separator parameter?
I'd like to have the exported data in diferent cells in my excel sheet. It should be enough with comma but all data appear in the same cell in the CSV.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks in advance.
Regards.

Hi,
While exporting, On the Destination tab page, select the required destination and in the separator option give ( ; ) instead of ( , )
try this .I hope you will get your columns in diffrent cells in the excel sheet.
please refere to the link also.

Performance problem: Converting rows to a comma separated column using STUFF() and self join

Hi,
This might be a really dumb one to ask but I am currently working on a table that has sequential data for steps that an invoice goes through in a particular system. Here is how it looks:
ID InvoiceID
InvoiceSteps
Timestamp
283403 0000210121_0002_2013
Post FI Invoice
2013-07-01 19:07:00.0000000
389871 0000210121_0002_2013
Clear Invoice
2013-08-25 14:02:00.0000000
Here is my extremely slow query that converts multiple rows of an invoice into a single one with 'InvoiceSteps' listed according to their timestamps in a sequential manner separated by commas.
SELECT [InvoiceID],
[InvoiceSteps] = STUFF((
SELECT ',' + ma.InvoiceSteps
FROM invoices ma
WHERE m.InvoiceID = ma.InvoiceID
ORDER BY [Timestamp]
FOR XML PATH(''), TYPE).value('.', 'NVARCHAR(MAX)'), 1, 1, '')
FROM invoices m
GROUP BY InvoiceID
ORDER BY InvoiceID;
Here is the end result:
InvoiceID InvoiceSteps
0000210121_0002_2013
Post FI Invoice,Clear Invoice
My question: How can I improve the query so that it can process thousands of records as fast as possible (>600K in this case).
Thanks you!

There are many methods to concatenate the rows to columns. Assuming you have necessary indexes to support your query as Rishabh suggested, if you still find issues with performance, then you need to look at various other approaches as well. I have seen at
certain places(huge data), CLR outperformed . Having said, we need to assess each and come to a conclusion for your scenario.
Refer the below link for various approach, (please also look at the comment session as well):
