Text file statement into database

Dear All,
I am trying to fetch data from a text file in to Oracle database to print.
The problem I have is that I cannot gather data because this is a text statement, generated by a report utility and the data consist of multiple dimensions.
First 3 fields of data are in the first 3 rows of a page and the rest is displayed column wise for the next 20 rows (5th row to 24th Row). Then there is a page break character ASCII (012) (Hex - 0C)then the next record starts.
Please give me a solution to fetch first 3 lines to one master table & the column of data to a detail table.
<page breake>
Code:123456
Name:1233445566
Address:aaaaaaaaaaaaa
Detail1 Detail2 Detail3
======= ======= =======
AAAAAAA BBBBBBB CCCCCCC
AAAAAAA BBBBBBB CCCCCCC
<page break>
Code:123457
Name:AAAAAAAA
Address:AAAAAAAA
Detail1 Detail2 Detail3
======= ======= =======
AAAAAAA BBBBBBB CCCCCCC
AAAAAAA BBBBBBB CCCCCCC
Thank you in advance..
Regards, Lakmal

Try using the package UTL_FILE.

    Nothing happens because in the actionPerformed() method you are creating a new version of GUIdirectory. You just want to execute the dbTest() method of the current instance of GUIdirectory.
    The code should be:
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt)
    //GUIdirectory gui = new GUIdirectory();
    //gui.dbTest();
    dbTest();

  • Text file imported into Hyperion report BQY

    Hi,
    I would like to know the internal process how Hyperion works in the scenario
    1. The Hyperion report query in select * from emp
    2. A text file containing list of emp ids has been imported into the report bqy
    I believe the query which gets fired on the underlying database is still select * from emp. If so, is it true that the result set of the "select * from emp" then is filtered in the Hyperion server memory based on the emp ids listed in the text file which is embedded in teh report bqy?
    I am using Hyperion 9.3.0.
    Any input would be appreciated.

  • Text file to Access database

    How to add Data from text file in to access database?pls guide

    No, he's claiming that MySQL has an "Import"
    statement (which maybe it does) and wants to know if
    MS Access has the same thing. Apparently he thinks
    this has something to do with Java programming.Interesting. Were I the OP, I would try File -> Open, or File -> Import, or some such command. Also I would try an Access forum rather than a Java one...

  • How to load a text file (ASCII) into a TS string variable?

    I need to load a ASCII file into a TS string variable for subsequent processing. I tried the SecuenceBuilder DLL (in the examples directory) but it seems that this DLL has a bug. Some text files are not loaded properly. I have also tried the kernel32 functions (openfile, createfile, readfile ... ) handling them as a C program, but with no success. The property loader feature of TS is not the suitable solution for me, because I would have to modify all my text files to include some specific fields (step name, variables, starmarker ...). Doy you know an alternative procedure to load text files or any DLL that implements what I look for ? Any help would be grateful. Cesar ([email protected])

    Hi Cesar,
    I don't know if you have found a solution, but attached is a DLL built in VC that will read the text out of a file into a TestStand variable. The attached sequence file \SequenceFile1.seq contains a step type that is set to call the DLL responsible for reading the file. It reads the file specified under Step.FilePath and stores the data in Step.ReadData. Please let me know if this works for you. I have attached the source as well.

  • Turn a text file content into a dropdown box

    That's not extracting anything from the lines. That's just dumping the contents of the file directly into the ring. That can be accomplished by simply doing this:

  • Treating a text file as a database

    I would like to create a database in the form of a simple text file and use Java to access/maintain it.
    I was thinking at first that JDBC-ODBC would be the way to go but I'm having syntax problems.
    Is there a better way to handle this? Or perhaps does someone have a good example they could share with me?

    If you already know SQL, writing your own JDBC driver that will create and access XML documents is easy
    by John B. O'Donahue
    As Java programmers, we have probably all used JDBC drivers. But until I received a project that was shipped without the commercial database it was built around, I had never thought of writing my own JDBC driver.
    A major factor in my decision to attempt writing my own driver was that I was creating XML documents from my database tables anyway. It made sense to use the XML documents as my storage medium, and either replace the entire interface with a DOM interface, or write a JDBC driver to interface to the XML. Well, I hate ripping out code that works, and writing a JDBC driver looked like a lot of fun, so the decision was easy.
    The main limitation of XML parsers is that they address the mechanics of the document, although the user is generally much more interested in content. The JDBC API, on the other hand, is geared toward handling data. A marriage of the two can give you the best of both worlds, particularly when you consider that a huge percentage of the XML on the Web was generated automatically from a database in the first place.
    In this article, we'll be using the moreover.com news feeds as a real-world example of a practical use of XML. This example also shows off the advantages of a SQL-based approach. We really just want to scan for stories that interest the user, in much the same way as we scan newspaper headlines. A SQL query for headlines containing specific topics is a much more natural, content-oriented approach than a tree-parsing model, which is essentially document oriented.

  • Importing text file to Access database

    This is my first time working with Java and databases so I'm very green.
    I need to read a delimited .txt file in (I know how to do this), separate the text by delimiters (I know how), open the connection to database (don't know), write to database table column by column (don't know).
    I appreciate any help.
    Scottie

    Hi Scott,
    I need to do the same thing. Read from a binary file, convert the data and store it in Microsoft Access. What are your suggestions on the best way to do this? Java seems slow with file manipulation. Thanks.

  • Report with link to file uploaded into database

    I have created a form that allows me to upload files into a database table with a blob column.
    Is it possible to create a report that will have a link to the files / database blob column, so when a user clicks on it, it displays the file.

    Hiya,
    You can create a simple report that list all the file IDs and their name. Then create a link on the ID or filename, which calls a procedure (DISPLAY_BLOB) passing it the id.
    you can view the content of the procedure in the document ference below:

    Hope this helps.

  • Storing image files (.gif)  into database from sql plus

    dear all
    I have to store image files into a table with BLOB attribute.
    What will be the insert command to insert a .gif file into the database.
    thanks.

    You can use DBMS_LOB.LoadFromFile, I assume you would load these as a BLOB.
    The documentation can be found on technet at
    urlhttp://technet.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/doc_library/901_doc/appdev.901/a89852/dbms_20b.htm#1009007
    [\url]
    An alternative would be to use java to read the file from the file system, and serve it up as a CLOB or BLOB, and INSERT it into the database from there.
    Good Luck,
    Eric Kamradt

  • How to input data into an arraylist from a text file?

    I am trying to take data from a text file and put that data into an arraylist. First here is the text file:
    [item1, 10, 125.0, item2, 10, 12.0, item3, 20, 158.0]
    3
    4530.0
    [item5, 65, 555.5, item4, 29, 689.0]
    2
    56088.5
    [item7, 84, 34.5, item6, 103, 0.5, item8, 85, 1.36]
    3
    3065.1The text between the [ ] is the output from my arraylists. I have three arraylists. The first [ ] belongs to arraylist A, the second to arraylist B, and the third to arraylist C. The format of the arraylists is this:
    <item name>,<# in stock>,<value of one item>
    The first number below the arraylists in the text file represents the number of items in the list. The second number below the arraylists represents the total value of the items in the arraylists.
    Here is the class file I have (yes, it does everything):

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks but I figured it out. Heres a sample of the code i used to solve my problem:

                   //Warehouse B BufferedReader.

                   //Warehouse C BufferedReader.
                   BufferedReader inC = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(inputFileWarehouseC));
                   //Warehouse details BufferedReader.
                   BufferedReader inDetails = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(inputFileDetails));
                   //Will hold values in warehouse arraylists.
                   String lineA = null;
                   String lineB = null;
                   String lineC = null;
                   //Will hold the details of each warehouse.
                   String line1 = null;
                   String line2 = null;
                   String line3 = null;
                   String line4 = null;
                   String line5 = null;
                   String line6 = null;
                   //Get the item count and total value for each warehouse.
                   while(inDetails.readLine() != null)
                        line1 = inDetails.readLine();
                        line2 = inDetails.readLine();
                        line3 = inDetails.readLine();
                        line4 = inDetails.readLine();
                        line5 = inDetails.readLine();
                        line6 = inDetails.readLine();
               /**Assign the item count and total value to warehouse A.*/
                  //Cast.
                   int intLine1 = Integer.valueOf(line1).intValue();
                   double dblLine2 = Double.valueOf(line2).doubleValue();
                   //Assign the values.
                   this.intWarehouseAItemCount = intLine1;
                   this.dblTotalValueA = dblLine2;
                /**Assign the item count and total value to warehouse B.*/

                     //Assign the values.
                   this.intWarehouseBItemCount = intLine3;
                   this.dblTotalValueB = dblLine4;
                /**Assign the item count and total value to warehouse C.*/
                     //Cast.
                     int intLine5 = Integer.valueOf(line5).intValue();
                   double dblLine6 = Double.valueOf(line6).doubleValue();
                   //Assign the values.
                   this.intWarehouseCItemCount = intLine5;
                   this.dblTotalValueC = dblLine6;
                /**Put the items back into the warehouses arraylists. */
                   //Add items to warehouse A.
                   while((lineA = inA.readLine()) != null)
                        warehouseAList.add(lineA);
                   //Add items to warehouse B.
                   while((lineB = inB.readLine()) != null)
                        warehouseBList.add(lineB);
                   //Add items to warehouse C.
                   while((lineC = inC.readLine()) != null)
                        warehouseCList.add(lineC);
                   }(this isn't the whole try statement its pretty long)

  • Create text file in Database Trigger

    Hello,
    How to create text file in the database trigger. I am working on Row level trigger which has select statement if statement fails I have to create text file and insert record in text file. I tried to use file1 TEXT_IO.FILE_TYPE package it does not works.
    Thanks,

    TEXT_IO is not available on the database. It is only available if you are doing client-side PL/SQL development in Oracle Forms. On the database side, you can use the UTL_FILE package.
    Since writing to a file is not transactional, however, and because Oracle may have to call a trigger multiple times to ensure write consistency:

    http://tkyte.blogspot.com/2005/08/something-different-part-i-of-iii.html
    you aregenerally better off not writing to a file in a trigger. The better answer is generally to use Oracle Asynchronous Queues to send a message to another process that actually writes the file. That way, if the transaction rolls back, nothing gets written to the file.
