Uploading data from a xlsx file into an Oracle table

Hi All,
I want to know what would be the best approach and tool to upload the data from an xlsx (excel) sheet into an Oracle table.
Can I use 'sqlldr'?

What if the excel sheet is exported from some other third party database and not explicitly generated on Windows? I know if we can export it to excel why can't we also export it to csv but what if that option is also not available.
Also what things do I need to take into account when I export a xlsx file to csv file. I mean I hope in no circumstances there would be a data loss.How about instead of of these "what ifs" and "I hopes" you tell us exactly what you have to work with and describe the real business problem. If you ask the wrong questions, you get the wrong answers.
You "hope" that there would be no data loss? Do you really think Excel would survive as a product, much less be the overwhelming dominant product of its type, if it screwed up something that fundamental? The only thing that will be lost is the formatting meta-data.

I need to import data from a CSV file to an Oracle table

I need to import data from a CSV file to an Oracle table. I'd prefer to use either SQL Developer or SQL Plus code.
As an example, my target database is HH910TS2, server is ADDb0001, my dB login is em/em, the Oracle table is AE1 and the CSV file is AECSV.
Any ideas / help ?

And just for clarity, it's good to get your head around some basic concepts...

It does not have any code of it's own (although it may have some "commands" that are SQL Developer specific)
SQL*Plus is another front end (character based rather than GUI) that submits code to the database and displays the results. It also does not have code of it's own although there are SQL*Plus commands for use only in the SQL*Plus environment.
The "code" that you are referring to is either SQL or PL/SQL, so you shouldn't limit yourself to thinking it has to be for SQL Developer or SQL*Plus. There are many front end tools that can all deal with the same SQL and/or PL/SQL code. Focus on the SQL and/or PL/SQL side of your coding and don't concern yourself with limitations of what tool you are using. We often see people on here who don't recognise these differences and then ask why their code isn't working when they've put SQL*Plus commands inside their PL/SQL code. ;)

How to Insert data from an XML file into an Oracle 10g table

Hello,
Please can you help me as I have hit a brick wall with this problem.
We are running version 10g Oracle and we will start receiving XML files with employee data that needs loading into a table, this is the XML file:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<RECRUITS>
<RECRUIT>
<FIRST_NAME>Gordon</FIRST_NAME>
<LAST_NAME>Brown</LAST_NAME>
<SHORT_NAME>GORDONBROWN</SHORT_NAME>
<APP_NO>00002</APP_NO>
<STATUS>M</STATUS>
<DATE_FROM>21-JUL-2006</DATE_FROM>
<RESOURCE_TYPE>P</RESOURCE_TYPE>
<TITLE>Mr</TITLE>
<DATE_OF_BIRTH>28-DEC-1983</DATE_OF_BIRTH>
<SOCIAL_SEC>AB128456A</SOCIAL_SEC>
<PARTTIME_PCT>1</PARTTIME_PCT>
<SEX>M</SEX>
<ADDRESS_TYPE>1</ADDRESS_TYPE>
<ADDRESS>A HOUSE SOMEWHERE HERE</ADDRESS>
<ZIP_CODE>PE3 LLL</ZIP_CODE>
<PLACE>BOROUGH</PLACE>
<COUNTRY_CODE>UK</COUNTRY_CODE>
<PROVINCE>UK</PROVINCE>
<EMAIL>[email protected]</EMAIL>
</RECRUIT>
(FYI - there may be more than 1 employee in each file so all of the above will be repeated X amount of times)
</RECRUITS>
To make things simple we have created a table which mirrors the XML file completely to load the data into, the SQL i have used is thus:
CREATE TABLE RECRUITMENT
FIRST_NAME VARCHAR2(30),
LAST_NAME VARCHAR2(30),
SHORT_NAME VARCHAR2(30),
APP_NO NUMBER,
STATUS VARCHAR2(1),
DATE_FROM DATE,
RESOURCE_TYPE VARCHAR2(1),
TITLE VARCHAR2(4),
DATE_OF_BIRTH DATE,
SOCIAL_SEC VARCHAR2(9),
PARTTIME_PCT NUMBER,
SEX VARCHAR2(1),
ADDRESS_TYPE VARCHAR2(1),
ADDRESS VARCHAR2(30),
ZIP_CODE VARCHAR2(8),
PLACE VARCHAR2(10),
PROVINCE VARCHAR2(3),
EMAIL VARCHAR2(20)
Every method we try from the numerous documents and so called "user guides" have failed, please can somebody show me the PL/SQL i need to get this files data into the above table?
We need to be able to do this purely through SQL*PLUS as we hope - if we ever get it working manually to create a procuedure that will encapsulate everything so it can be run over and over again.
The XML file is sitting in the XMLDIR and is called REC.XML.

Uploading Data from a Flat file into Oracle Database

Hi,
I am a novice to Java . SO, please bear with me. I have a reqiurement where I have a flat file or excel file from which I need to read the data and insert into Oracle Database. The falt file will exist on the client machine. I have been reading and I see this can be done through I/O Streams. Correct me if I am wrong. I am looking for a sample code to get started. Any Java expert has an answer for it, I will appreciate it.
Thanks

hi,
declare two internal table with structur of your tables.
your flat files should be .txt files.
now make use of GUI_UPLOAD function module to upload your flatfile into internal tables.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
    EXPORTING
      filename            = 'c:\file1.txt'
      has_field_separator = 'X'
    TABLES
      data_tab            = itab1
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS              = 1.
use this function twice for two tables.
then loop them individually and make use of insert command.

How to import the data in a .xls or .xlsx file into a oracle database table

Hi,
Please tell me how to import the data in a .xls or .xlsx file into a oracle database table in Oracle 10gR2 using Oracle Warehouse Builder 10gR2.

....can we do something through Non-Oracle->ODBC?Yes, it is possible, look at this thread
[SQLServer access from AIX Warehouse builder|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=2502982]
If your server (with target DB and OWB runtime) is on Windows OS this configuration will be simpler - you can use single server.
And additional link on OWB blog (with 11g transparent gateway)
[http://blogs.oracle.com/warehousebuilder/2008/01/11g_heterogeneous_agent.html]
(configuring nonoracle connection with 10g generic connectivity very similar to 11g gateway)

Uploading Data from a Flat File

Hi
I am trying to Upload data from a Flat File to the MDS. I have a few questions on the Process.
a) XI would be the Interface, and one end would be a file adapter with the Flat File format. On the other end, which Interface should I use - ABA Business Partner In or MDM Business Partner In. I do not understand the differences between them and where should which one be used?
B) At the moment,I want to map the data to standard Object type, Business Partner BUS1006. This also has a staging area already defined in the System. Can I view the data which is imported into the Staging area ? How so ?
C) The struture (or data) that I wish to upload has few fields, and does not map to the BP structure easily. In such a scenario does it make sense to
Create a new Object type
(ii) Create a new Business Partner type with the appropriate fields only ..
What I need to know is if either of these options is feasible and what are the pros & cons of doing this, in terms of effort, skillset & interaction with SAP Development ?
Kindly do reply if you have any answers to these questions.
Regards,
Gaurav

Hi Markus,
Thanks for your inputs.
I have tried uploading some dats from a Flat file to the Business Partner Onject type, BUS1006. I initially got some ABAP Parsing errors on the MDM side, but after correcting that, I find my message triggers a short dump - with the Method SET_OBJECTKEYS, not finding any keys in the BP structure that has been created.
Q1 - How do I get around this problem ? Is it necessary for me to specify Keys in the PartyID node of the Interface ABABusinessPartnerIn. or is it something else ?
Q2 - How is this general process supposed to work? I would assume that for staging, I would get incomplete Master data or data from flat files, which need not neccesarily contain keys. The aim is to use the matching strategies in the CI to identify duplicates and consolidate them.
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Gaurav

How can I import data from a csv file into databse using utl_file?

Hi,
I have two machines (os is windows and database is oracle 10g) that are not connected to each other and both are having the same database schema but data is all different.
Now on one machine, I want to take dump of all the tables into csv files. e.g. if my table name is test then the exported file is test.csv and if the table name is sample then csv file name is sample.csv and so on.
Now I want to import the data from these csv files into the tables on second machine. if I've 50 such csv files, then data should be written to 50 tables.
I am new to this. Could anyone please let me know how can I import data back into tables. i can't use sqlloader as I've to satisfy a few conditions while loading the data into tables. I am stuck and not able to proceed.
Please let me know how can I do this.
Thanks,
Shilpi

Table created.
SQL> create table table2(id number,val varchar2(10));
Table created.
SQL> insert all

3 into table2 values(id2,val2)
4 select extractValue(x.col,'/a/id1') id
5        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value') val
6        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/value2') val2
7        ,extractValue(x.col,'/a/id2') id2
8 from (select xmltype('<a><id1>1</id1><value>a</value><id2>2</id2><value2>b</value2></a>') col from dual) x;
2 rows created.

Load XML data from UNIX Server Directly into Relational Database Tables

Is there a way I can load data from an XML File into Oracle Tables , without having the Input XML file in some Oracle Server Directory. My XML File resides on UNIX Application server. And I need to directly load the data into Database tables. Without loading them into the Database Directory.
Also I am looking for a solution that would not load my Database much and effect other running processes. Can it be done using SQL Loader ?
Oracle Database Version is : Oracle Database 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64bit Production

Thanks for your reply ,
Please would you quote an Example about : 'Load the file into that table using SQL*Loader' (From UNIX Server) Or instance of some existing thread that relates to my situation.
The Size of the File would be about 3 GB. For a similar requirement one of my peers Code which used XMLTABLE and XPATH Approach consumed a lot of resources while running and caused the other Database Applications to slow down. Thus those guys have come up with an approach to :
        Parse XML using a C Code using some STRING Functions => For a CSV or Fixed width .dat file and then use SQL Loader to just load the file into Tables.
        This approach is efficient in terms of Resources and Time(Takes 5 mins). But I am not confident about parsing XML based on String based C Functions.
         Please comment about this approach . Also if possible Suggest the best efficient way of doing this.

How to import data from a text file into a table

Hello,
I need help with importing data from a .csv file with comma delimiter into a table.
I've been struggling to figure out how to use the "Import from Files" wizard in Oracle 10g web-base Enterprise Manager.
I have not been able to find a simple instruction on how to use the Wizard.
I have looked at the Oracle Database Utilities - Overview of Oracle Data Pump and the Help on the "Import: Files" page.
Neither one gave me enough instruction to be able to do the import successfully.
Using the "Import from file" wizard, I created a Directory Object using the Create Directory Object button. I Copied the file from which i needed to import the data into the Operating System Directory i had defined in the Create Directory Object page. I chose "Entire files" for the Import type.
Step 1 of 4 is the "Import:Re-Mapping" page, I have no idea what i need to do on this page. All i know i am not tying to import data that was in one schema into a different schema and I am not importing data that was in one tablespace into a different tablespace and i am not R-Mapping datafiles either. I am importing data from a csv file.
For step 2 of 4, "Import:Options" page, I selected the same directory object i had created.
For step 3 of 4, I entered a job name and a description and selected Start Immediately option.
What i noticed going through the wizard, the wizard never asked into which table do i want to import the data.
I submitted the job and I got ORA-31619 invalid dump file error.
I was sure that the wizard was going to fail when it never asked me into which table do i want to import the data.
I tried to use the "imp" utility in command-line window.
After I entered (imp), i was prompted for the username and the password and then the buffer size as soon as i entered the min buffer size I got the following error and the import was terminated:
C:\>imp

Please show me the easiest way to import a text file into a table. How complex could it be to do a simple import into a table using a text file?
We are testing our application against both an Oracle database and a MSSQLServer 2000 database.
I was able to import the data into a table in MSSQLServer database and I can say that anybody with no experience could easily do an export/import in MSSQLServer 2000.
I appreciate if someone could show me how to the import from a file into a table!
Thanks,
