How to export data from a Oracle table to a delimited file?

I know how to load delimited file into a table, but how to export
data from a Oracle table to a delimited file?
Thanks in advance.

Try looking at this link, it's long but there's three different solutions discussed in it. If you look at Barbara Boehmer's
solution in her posts in the link below you'll see that she's addressed your concerns with spool files.

Writing a stored procedure to import SQL Server table data into a Oracle table

Hello,
As a new DBA I have been tasked with writing a stored procedure to import SQL Server table data into an Oracle table. I have been given many suggestions on how to do it from SQL Server but I I just need to write a stored procedure to run it from the Oracle side. Suggestions/guidance on where to start would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
I started to write it based on what I have but I know this is not correct :/
# Here is the select statement for the data source in SQL Server...
SELECT COMPANY
,CUSTOMER
,TRANS_TYPE
,INVOICE
,TRANS_DATE
,STATUS
,TRAN_AMT
,CREDIT_AMT
,APPLD_AMT
,ADJ_AMT
,TRANS_USER1
,PROCESS_LEVEL
,DESCRIPTION
,DUE_DATE
,OUR_DATE
,OUR_TIME
,PROCESS_FLAG
,ERROR_DESCRIPTION
FROM data_source_table_name
#It loads data into the table in Oracle....
Insert into oracle_destination_table_name (
COMPANY,
CUSTOMER,
TRANS_TYPE,
INVOICE,
TRANS_DATE,
STATUS,
TRANS_AMT,
CREDIT_AMT,
APPLD_AMT,
ADJ_AMT,
TRANS_USER1,
PROCESS_LEVEL,
DESCRIPTION,
DUE_DATE,
OUR_DATE,
OUR_TIME,
PROCESS_FLAG,
ERROR_DESCRIPTION)
END;

CREATE TABLE statements would have been better as MS-SQL and Oracle don't have the same data types.
OUR_DATE, OUR_TIME will (most likely) be ONE column in Oracle.
DATABASE LINK
Personally, I'd just load the data over a database link:
insert into oracle_destination_table_name ( <column list> )
select ... <transform data here>
from data_source_table@mssql_db_link
As far as creating the database link from Oracle to MS-SQL ... that is for somebody else to answer.
(most likely you'll need to use an ODBC driver)
EXTERNAL TABLE
If the data from MS-SQL is in a CSV file, just use and external table.
same concept:
insert into oracle_destination_table_name ( <column list> )
select ... <transform data here>
from data_source_external_table

OBIEE 11g - Combine data from two Oracle tables

Good day!
I tried to combine data from two Oracle tables as fact data, but it doesn't work.
My steps: I created SCOTT.EMP2 table from SCOTT.EMP table, update EMPNO and ENAME values of EMP2 table to distinguish data of my tables. Then I imported physical tables DEPT, EMP and EMP2 to BIEE 11g, created joins DEPT-EMP and DEPT-EMP2 in physical diagram. Then I dragged DEPT and EMP tables to BMM, and EMP2 table to EMP as second LTS. In Content tab for EMP and EMP2 I checked "This source should be combined with other sources at this level" checkboxes. Then I renamed logical tables EMP and DEPT to Employees and Departments and dragged them to Presentation area. In Answers I created Analysis with columns DNAME and ENAME.
The problem is that data on results tab is only from one physical table EMP or EMP2 (depending on the order of sources EMP and EMP2 of LT Employees) and not from both.
Can anybody help? Am I missed something?
Al.

Hi Al,
I think you have to define the content of the LTS.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12096_01/books/admintool/admintool_BusModSetup16.html
You have to specify the content of the different fragments.
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12096_01/books/admintool/admintool_SetUpAggNav3.html#wp1005333
Maybe you have to add an additional column 'Source' ('EMP1', 'EMP2')
Good Luck,

Mainframe data loaded into Oracle tables - Test for low values using PL/SQL

Mainframe legacy data has been copied straight from the legacy tables into mirrored tables in Oracle. Some columns from the mainframe data had 'low values' in them. These columns were defined on the Oracle tables as varchar2 types. In looking at the data, some of these columns appear to have data that looks like little square boxes, not sure but maybe that is the way Oracle interprets the 'low values' in the original data into varchar. When I run a select to find all rows where this column is not null, it selects these columns. In the results of the select statement, the columns appear to be blank, however, in looking at the data in the column using SQL Developer, I can see the odd 'square boxes'. My guess is that the select statement is detecting that something exists in this column. Long story short, some how I am going to have to test this legacy data on the Oracle table using Pl/Sql to test for 'low values'. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could do this????? Help! The mainframe data we are loading into these tables is loaded with columns with low values.
I am using Oracle 11i.
Thanks

Data Load to Oracle Tables.

Dear User,
I have a requirement where I need to create a new Apex application that will allow the Planning department to create Item Lists and Locations lists. They will build the lists based on values (location or Item) that they paste from their Spreadsheets into the Apex App.
Location list will be in the below Format.
"02-05-07-14-15-19-20-21-23-25-27-28-44-47-53-54-61-63-65-66-68-69-74-75-77-79-81-85-86-87-89-90-92-95-96-97-98-99-101-103-105-107-111-112-116-119-120-127-130-133-139-143-147"
And Item List will be in the below Format.
7310468
1009521
4490033
4490156
4490318
4490334
4490059
4490083
I need to load the Location List Data and Item_list Data into two different tables "Loc_List_stage" and "Item_list_stage". Every Location should be on a different line and same with the Item List.
Any Help or suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks!
NS

Hi,
Go to: SQL Workshop -> Utilities -> Data Workshop
In the Data Load section choose: Text Data
Load To : Existing table
Load From: Copy and paste
Next choose the schema in which your table is present in which you want to load data
and then select the table name.
Then copy and paste the data to be uploaded and then can upload the data.
See if it works!

Intervals, synchronize the data between two oracle tables located in diffe

Hi Experts,
Is there any way I can, at set intervals, synchronize the data between two oracle tables located in different servers? What is the software, if there is any? If there are steps I can follow, so much the better.
Thanks!

I'm not sure what you want to achieve here...
I want to synchronize both the Servers , so that it can update HO servers as well as Factory Server with the complete data. Could you please elaborate a little bit more; basing on your description I could also tell you how to setup timesync for those two servers if I understand "complete data" as the current date and time...
Also a lot of solutions are platform and version specific so it would help if you could indicate OS and Database Versions (4 digit).
And I still fail to see what this has to do with forms. You might want to post your question to the Database General forum: General Database Discussions
cheers

Master data Load from Oracle table

Hi,
My master data comes from an Oracle table. The table has both attributes and texts combined. How do I load the Master data into the text and attribute info objects thru Direct Upload of Master Data?
Is it necessary to go in for Flexible Upload in this case?
Regards

Hi,
you can create two views on the table. One for the text and the other one for the attributes. Create your datasources on these views and assign them to your infoobject.

Bulk text data insertion in Partitioned Table

Hi All,
I want to insert more than 200 crore records from 5 text data files in a single table say TAB1 (PARTITIONED table with RANGE type).
Currently I am using EXTERNAL TABLE concept and providing 5 filenames (of total 45 crore records) at a time to external table definition access criteria LOCATION() with COMMA ",".
After that using following sql statement:
INSERT /*+ APPEND PARALLEL(6) */ INTO TAB1 SELECT * FROM TAB1_EXT;
Presently The execution time statistics for 45 crore records is as follows:
1)     With /*+ PARALLEL(6) */ hint, execution time : 81 Mins
2)     with /*+ APPEND PARALLEL */ hint, execution time : 73 Mins
3)     With cursor loop; bulk collect and FORALL with interval of 1000000 records, execution time : 98 Mins
Earlier the execution time was too much but after changing and trying with variation in SQL logic, DB parameter, and H/w, now it is somewhat good.
Now INDEXES are also removed from table. NOLOGGING is purposely not using as it will not be considerable at PROD environment.
Also Database is not in ARCHIVE mode now.
I also tried with change in DB parameters like SGA_MAX_SIZE which is now 16GB. I am thinking even to change DB_BLOCK_SIZE value from 8K to 32K.
O/S: LINUX
ORACLE DB: ORACLE 11g
RAM: 256 GB
48 CPU CORES, AMD Opteron (HP DL 585 Model)
If you have any suggestion, please pass it to me.

Instead of disturbing parallel coordinators you could just submit n jobs each doing a simple <b>insert into big_table select * from external_table_n</b> or something similar - all external_tables_i having the same structure just different location parameters.

How to read a CSV file and Insert data into an Oracle Table

Hi All,

Please let me some suggestions on this.

@OP,
I have a Clob file as a in parameter in my PROC. . File is comma separated.need procedure that would parse this CLOB variable and populate in oracle table .You don't have a "clob file" as there's no such thing. CLOB is a datatype for storing large character based objects. A file is something on the operating system's filesystem.
So, why have you stored comma seperated data in a CLOB?
Where did this data come from? If it came from a file, why didn't you use SQL*Loader or, even better, External Tables to read and parse the data into structured format when populating the database with it?
If you really do have to parse a CLOB of data to pull out the comma seperated values, then you're going to have to write something yourself to do that, reading "lines" by looking for the newline character(s), and then breaking up the "lines" into the component data by looking for commas within it, using normal string functions such as INSTR and SUBSTR or, if necessary, REGEXP_INSTR and REGEXP_SUBSTR. If you have string data that contains commas but uses double quotes around the string, then you'll also have the added complexity of ignoring commas within such string data.
Like I say... it's much easier with SQL*Loader of External Tables as these are designed to parse such CSV type data.

I want to update date field in oracle table using database adaptor

Hi Guys,
I want to update date in oracle table field which is 'DATE' type , but i am getting following error.
Pure SQL Exception.
Pure SQL Execute of update crp3apps.IFACE_SO_DATE_CHANGES set PROCESSED_DATE=? where CTRL_ID=? failed. Caused by java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01830: date format picture ends before converting entire input string
The Pure SQL option is for border use cases only and provides simple yet minimal functionality. Possibly try the "Perform an operation on a table" option instead.
</summary>
</part>
- <part name="detail">

i am formated the date using following code and assigned to one variable.
ora:formatDate(ora:getCurrentDateTime(),'dd-MMM-yyyy hh:mm:ss ')
this is update query
update crp3apps.IFACE_SO_DATE_CHANGES set PROCESSED_DATE=#date where CTRL_ID=#id
Please provide solution.

The thing is that XSLT often doesn't deliver the functionality required when it comes to times.
You suggest appening "Z" to the time but this means that the time is now in UTC time. What if the system from where the date is being converted is running in NZ using local time? Other systems that recieve the date (and correctly handle the time zone) will now have a time that is out by a number of hours.
You often can't ignore the time zone (drop the 'Z') as if you send the time to a system it has to either assume the time is local to it (which may not be the case... the other system coudl be in a different time zone) or assume the time is UTC (I think crossfire does this by default).
Typically can't just append a time zone (e.g. +11:00) either as many places have daylight savings so the value to appended is variable (you then need some way of determining what the value is... either Java Embedding or a Service).
As you mention it does depend on the use case but in many circumstances using Jaba Embedding, not as suggested above but with the appropriate Java.util.Calendar classes, is the best way to handle date and time in BPEL. Even still you need to ascertain the format of times external to the system and ensure you parse them correctly.
ANd even if you do all this you can still run into problems. I've seen a real world example where two systems which both handled time zones correctly and had previously been working together for quite a while, satrted reporting different times. It turns out that only one of them had had the most recent Java Time Zone patches applied and there had been a change in the dates for daylight savings here (Australia). Be warned!

How to read RMAN data into an ORACLE Table?

Hallo,
With regards to RMAN, how should we store the data into a database table, from the commands which can run only on RMAN prompt without using Recovery Catalog?
For Example:
RMAN> Report need backup days 3;
RMAN DATA:
RMAN-03022: compiling command: report
Report of files whose recovery needs more than 3 days of archived logs
File Days Name
1 1203 D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\TEST\SYSTEM01.DBF
2 1203 D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\TEST\RBS01.DBF
3 1203 D:\ORACLE\ORADATA\TEST\USERS01.DBF
Should it done via UTL_FILE?
If so, could someone give simple example/code how to do that, in order to write this RMAN data into an Oracle Database table?
I also set the utl_file_dir parameter to a particular directory in my database.
Thanks
W.Benvort

Actually, I am not using Recovery Catalog, so the views like RC_database, Rc_tablespaces etc , which are specific to recovery catalog are not available.
r.- this make sense at 100% because those views belong to the recovery catalog.
So, I wanted that these information, which we can get via using the commands like above, transfer into an Oracle table
r.- If you want to access the views of the Recovery Catalog to store part of that information in tables you have to have the database registered in a Recovery Catalog.
Should we keep the Recovery Catalog in Control file? Instead of using separate Schema.
r.- I recommend you to create a catalog for your database because the space the controlfile to store information regarding RMAN is reused and you can lose important information about your backups.
Can we run Catrman.sql script as a sys in order to keep the recovery catalog in sys schema?
r.- As you know, this is not recommended at all.
Conclusion : Create a Recovery Catalog and you will be able to perform all that you want regardind what you mentioned above.

Data Export to Oracle table from essbase issue

Hello,
i am using a data export calc script to load data from essbase into an oracle table. We have Essbase 11.1.2.1 on windows 2008 64 bit R2 server. I have an ODBC system DSN created for this job.
However, when i launch this process i get a message in the log "Cannot read SQL driver name for [Backup Exec Catalogs] from [ODBC.INI]"
i have checked the ODBC.ini file also in C:\Windows directory and that file contains the connection entries...
Any thoughts as to why i am getting this error in one server whereas the same process on SIT server is working fine.
thanks...

please restart the application and try again . Check the application log if any details are there

Need help loading data from Excel data file to oracle tables

i need to load an Excel spreadsheet to Oracle table.
The spreadsheet contains 20 columns, the first 8 columns contains basic info, but the rest 12 columns contains info like
1stQtr_08, 2ndQtr_08, 3rdQtr_08, 4thQtr_08
1stQtr_09, 2ndQtr_09, 3rdQtr_09, 4thQtr_09
1stQtr_10, 2ndQtr_10, 3rdQtr_10, 4thQtr_10
So what i need to accomplish is:
break that one record(with 20 fields) in Excel to 3 records for each fiscal year in the Oracle table, so each record in the database table will look like
8 basic field + fiscal_year + 1stQtr_08, 2ndQtr_08, 3rdQtr_08, 4thQtr_08
8 basic field + fiscal_year + 1stQtr_09, 2ndQtr_09, 3rdQtr_09, 4thQtr_09
8 basic field + fiscal_year + 1stQtr_10, 2ndQtr_10, 3rdQtr_10, 4thQtr_10
There are about 10000 rows in the data file, so how can i use sqlldr to perform such task? beside sqlldr, any other good suggestions?
thx

External Tables is just an Oracle API for sqlloader. If you going to load this data over and over again, External tables would be a good idea, but if it's a one time thing, sqlldir is simpler, unless you just want to learn how to use External Tables.
I used to run a data warehouse, so I have done, at least similar, to what you are doing in the past.
