Upload a CSV File

I'm on 9i on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
What are some of the native tools to Oracle 9i for uploading a CSV File to a Table in the Database?

I realize that "evangelist" is part of your job title. But are you really intending to exhume any old thread the search engine chucks that which may be relevant to your product? Because you are really going to start annoying people soon.
Obviously you will claim that your company's dual GPL/commercial licensing policy means that you are not violating these forums' Terms of use. But as your ultimate aim is no doubt to get people to buy the non-GPL option I suggest that you are breaking this rule: Forums shall be used in a noncommercial manner only.
Furthermore, a sufficient amount of this type of thread-bombing would (IMO) constitute unsolicited bulk e-mail, "junk mail," "spam" or chain letters.

Uploading a CSV file and getting Error ORA-01403: no data found in V4.1.1.

I have an issue where myself and another user are unable to upload a csv file to my application using the "File Browse" page item in V4.1.1. I get the following error, "Error ORA-01403: no data found".
This function was working perfectly last week prior to the upgrade of our APEX to V4.1.1 from V3. Other users are still able to upload the csv file, so the PL/SQL behind it must be ok.
So here is where I am up to with testing.
Tested the upload using my login on my PC – Fail
Tested the upload using my login on another PC – Fail
Tested the upload using other user’s login on my PC – Success
Tested the upload using other user’s login on another PC - Success
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Greg

The offending piece of code was in a block of script that I used from an online sample when I was first setting up this upload script. A colleague had the same issue in another application and rewrote the script to resolve the issue, see below.
I'm still perplexed as to why the majority of users could run it ok, and there were only 2 of us that it errored on. But now it's working for all, and I can go back to building some cool stuff in V4.1.1.00.23.

Uploading a CSV file

When I try to upload a CSV file in my program it gives me an error message - Do not have an E-mail address column even though I do have an E-mail column and a list of E-mail addresses. How can I resolve this problem?

What email program are you using? I sent a .csv file via Mail, it worked perfectly.

As noted, this confuses the issue, since a possible answer was posted in the OTHER thread.. Check your server logs, you are probably timing out.. From prior threads with a similar issue:
Have a look at the httpd.conf file (or get your system administrator to look at it) and see what the value of TimeOut is set to. You may need to increase it in order to export large tables via APEX.

Thanks,
Madhusudhanan

Madhusudhanan,
A couple of observations. First; always list your exact Forms version (eg; 10.1.2.0.2 not 10g R2). In most cases, the solution is different depending on the Forms version. Second; why must you use Forms to kick off a SQL Loader process? This is a server-side process and should be initiated by a server side process. If you absolutely must use Forms to kick off the process, again we need your Forms version in order to offer any solutions. Based on your code sample, I can asusme you are at least using Forms 9i becuase you are using WebUtil.
Is your Database and Application Server the same physical computer? If they are not, this would explain why your HOST command isn't working because HOST runs against the Application Server not the Database server.
Third; have you considered using and External Table (if your RDBMS version supports them) for each of the files you are attempting to upload? In this instance, it would be helpful to know your RDBMS version as well. External Tables can be a little frustrating to set up the first time, but as with any new construct you use - it gets easier the more you use it.
Fourth; are you getting any errors in your log file(s)? If so, what are the errors? Please list the full error message if you have one.
Finally, with respects to your statement:
Posted: Mar 18, 2011 2:30 PM - Madhu This is very urgent and critical.>
You have to understand that forum contributers are all volunteers - this is not our full-time job. If your issue is truely urgent I suggest you open a Service Request (SR) with Oracle Support! ;-)

Hi All,
I have a .CSV file (UTF-8 format) which contains Chinese Characters.
I uploaded the file to AL11 and it shows that all teh data is correct in AL11.
Now i am using a program to Read file from AL11 and update a ztable but some of the characters are
modified and some are getting saved as junk characters.
Kindly let me know what can be done.
Regards,
Jose

Jose,
The issue is pretty much clear. Ask the IT team to change the regional settings for languages. Normally we don't have
access to Korean, Traditional chinese....etc.
You might be getting characters/symbols as ?? ##. Go ahead and change the regional setting.
This will solve your issue.

Uploading a csv file through XDB FTP

Hello
I'm developing a project where i need to upload a big amount of data, contained in a CSV file, on the file system of a database server and it would be great if the FTP service provided with XDB could be used to achieve such a job.
Does somebody know if XDB-FTP is able to upload files outside the XML repository and to upload them directly ( without intermediate steps that may generate heavy redo-log generation ) into a file-system on the database server?
I'd like to consider other good alternatives too, now I'm using a different FTP server but I would like to avoid this dependency.
Thanks
Bye Alessandro

I finally solved the problem using a Java class that launches a daemon listening for an incoming connection, that stores the first stream on a text file and then terminates.

Uploading Large csv file from Local File

I have a 6GB csv file which I created on my local machine which is named TrainDF.csv. I can't upload it directly as it exceeds the 1.95GB size limit uncompressed. However, I tried saving it as an RData file (as well as a zip file of the RData
file) and uploading that, however my R code throws an "unable to open connection" error when I try to load this data with an R Script with this code.
load("src/TrainDF.RData"); maml.mapOutputPort("TrainDF");
I have even tried:
load("/src/TrainDF.RData");
load("./src/TrainDF.RData");
load("~/src/TrainDF.RData");
TrainDF <- load("/src/TrainDF.RData");
TrainDF <- load("./src/TrainDF.RData");
TrainDF <- load("~/src/TrainDF.RData");
Same error for everything. What would be the simplest most straight-forward way to get a 6GB csv file usable as an input for an experiment from my local machine? I may need step by step instructions on this one depending on the answer.
Also, if a complete step by step answer to this question can be found somewhere please post a link to it.
Thanks in advance,
Bob
P.S. I know the data is actually there, I am able to download it.

Yes, all appears to work now. I have a bad habit of interchanging a csv file with a dataframe in R when I talk because they are so trivial to interchange. I meant a saved (RData) object containing a dataframe that was originally loaded from
a csv file. My problems were not knowing specifically how to write the path to the src folder and I didn't even think about using a different input. Hopefully documentation should be coming out in the future which clarifies these things.
In my opinion information on how to get info in and out of Azure ML is somewhat lacking. Although, I must say this is truly impressive work you guys are doing and not only that you are getting it done at a mind-boggling pace. So good job on that.
Thanks for your great help and fast response!
