Utility to export selected data from an SQL Query?

I would like to know if there is any utility available in Oracle that I could use to export data selected on the basis of a query? Our requirement is to export the selected data to .dat file.
This should be besides imp or exp built-in utilities available in Oracle.

Hello,
you can spool the results of your query to file.
eks
spool c:\....
select * from emp;
spool off;
If you have a tool called Toad, you kan click on the results and then you can save the data in different format.

Why some columns are not read into Power Pivot when reading data from a SQL query

I have this SQL query that I want to use to read data to PowerPivot from:
SELECT Score.FieldCount as fieldcount, Score.Record.GetAt(0) as predicted_gender, Score.Record.GetAt(1) as probability_of_gender, Score.Record.GetAt(2)
as probability_of_m,
Score.Record.GetAt(3) as probability_of_f, Score.Record.GetAt(4) as customerkey
FROM
SELECT * FROM dbo.myCLR1(
dbo.MyCLR2('c:\fILES\MLSM.xml'),
'SELECT * FROM [dbo].[Customer]') Input
) Score
After I click 'Finish' in "Table Import Wizard", I can only get 1 column (FieldCount) in Power Pivot window. Why don't I get the other 4 columns? If I save the result to a table I do get all columns but my goal is to dynamically present the result
so that's not an option. Can anyone shed some light?
Thanks,
Chu

If I only pass in query as
SELECT * FROM dbo.myCLR1(
dbo.MyCLR2('c:\fILES\MLSM.xml'),
'SELECT * FROM [dbo].[Customer]') Input
I do get 2 columns (FieldCount and Record as shown below)

Get Number of rows from a sql query.

I am reading data from a sql query in a BLS transaction and I would like to know the number of rows returned.
Is there an easy way to do this without looping through the table?
Thanks Jasper

Hi Jasper,
You can use the XPATH count function similar to this:
GetTagList.Results{count(/Rowsets/Rowset/Row)}

How to select data from a PL/SQL table

Hi,
I am selecting data from database after doing some screening i want to store it in a PL/SQL table (temporary area) and pass it to oracle reports.
Is there any way to select the data from a PL/SQL table as a cursor. Or is there any other way of holding the temporary data and then pass it back as a cursor.
Regards
Kamal

A PL/SQL "table" is anything but a table. Whoever came up with this term in PL/SQL to describe what is known as dynamic arrays (the correct programming terminology that existed since the 70's if not earlier and what is used in all other programming languages I'm familiar with)... well, several descriptions come to mind and none of them are complimentary.
You cannot "select" from a PL/SQL dynamic array as it is not a table within the Oracle context of tables.
Thus you need to convert (cast) a PL/SQL dynamic array into a temporary Oracle data set/table in order to select from it. This is in general a Bad Idea (tm). Oracle tables and SQL and concurrency controls and all that are especially designed for processing data. PL/SQL arrays is a very simplistic data structure with very limited usage. Why would you want to use that in SQL via a SELECT statement when you can use Oracle tables (or proper temp tables) instead? Besides that, it is also slow to cast a dynamic PL/SQL array into an Oracle SQL data set structure (context switching, copying of memory, etc).
The proper way to use PL/SQL to generate data sets for use via the SQL engine is pipelined table functions.
This is not to say that you should never use PL/SQL arrays and casting in SQL.. simply that you need to make sure that this is the correct and scalable way to do it. And that will also always be an exception to the rule when you do.

Error while retrieving data from PL/SQL Table using SELECT st. (Urgent!!!)

Hi Friends,
I am using Oracle 8.1.6 Server, & facing problems while retrieving data from a PL/SQL Table:
CREATE or REPLACE PROCEDURE test_proc IS
TYPE tP2 is TABLE of varchar2(10); --declared a collection
dt2 tP2 := tP2('a','b','c');
i NUMBER(8);
begin
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO i FROM TABLE(CAST(dt2 as tP2));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('**'||i);
end;
While executing the above procedure, I encountered foll. error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00600: internal error code, arguments: [15419], [severe error during PL/SQL execution], [], [],
ORA-06544: PL/SQL: internal error, arguments: [pfrrun.c:pfrbnd1()], [], [], [], [], [], [], []
ORA-06553: PLS-801: internal error [0]
Can anyone please help me, where the problem is??
Is it Possible to retrieve data from PL/SQL TABLE using SELECT statement? & How ?
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Jay Raval.

Thanks Roger for the Update.
It means that have to first CREATE TYPE .. TABLE in database then only I can fire a Select statement on that TYPE.
Actually I wanted to fire a Select statement on the TABLE TYPE, defined & declared in PLSQL stored procedure using DECLARE TYPE .. TABLE & not using CREATE TYPE .. TABLE.
I was eager to know this, because my organization is reluctant in using CREATE TYPE .. TABLE defined in the database, so I was looking out for another alternative to access PL/SQL TABLE using Select statement without defining it database. It would have been good if I could access a PLSQL TABLE using Select statement Declared locally in the stored procedure.
Can I summarize that to access a PL/SQL TABLE using SELECT statement, I have to first CREATE TYPE .. TABLE?
If someone have any other idea on this, please do let me know.
Thanks a lot for all help.
Best Regards,
Jay Raval.
You have to define a database type...
create type tP2 is table of varchar2(10)
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE TEST_PROC
IS
dt2 tP2 := tP2('a','b','c');
i NUMBER(8);
begin
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO i FROM TABLE(CAST (dt2 AS tP2));
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('**'||i);
end;
This will work.

Export data from MS sql server table to an oracle table

I need to move data from a sql server table to an oracle table and when ever the sql server table is updated it needs to automatically update the oracle table. Is there procedure to do this or do I migrate the data once and set up a trigger on the sql server table to update the oracle table? If the trigger is the answer how do I do that?

You might want to check out Oracle's heterogeneous services functionality if you haven't done so already. Here are a few links:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14232/toc.htm
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14232/majfeat.htm#sthref74
Also, consulting the Oracle streams manual may be helpful -- particularly Chapter 5.

Perhaps someone who is more familiar with SQL Server could provide a more helpful answer.

How to export some data from the tables of an owner with integrity?

Hi to all,
How to export some data from the tables of an owner with integrity?
I want to bring some data from all tables in a single owner of the production database for development environment.
My initial requirements are: seeking information on company code (emp), contract status (status) and / or effective date of contract settlement (dt_liq_efetiva) - a small amount of data to developers.
These three fields are present in the main system table (the table of contracts). Then I thought about ...
- create a temporary table from the query results table to contract;
- and then use this temporary table as a reference to fetch the data in other tables of the owner while maintaining integrity. But how? I have not found the answer, because: what to do when not there is the possibility of a join between the contract and any other table?
I am considering the possibility of consulting the names of tables, foreign keys and columns above, and create dynamic SQL. Conceptually, something like:
select r.constraint_name "FK name",
r.table_name "FK table",
r.column_name "FK column",
up.constraint_name "Referencing name",
up.table_name "Referencing table",
up.column_name "Referencing column"
from all_cons_columns up
join all_cons_columns r
using (owner, position), (select r.owner,
r.constraint_name fk,
r.table_name table_fk,
r.r_constraint_name r,
up.table_name table_r
from all_constraints up, all_constraints r
where r.r_owner = up.owner
and r.r_constraint_name = up.constraint_name
and up.constraint_type in ('P', 'U')
and r.constraint_type = 'R'
and r.owner = 'OWNERNAME') aux
where r.constraint_name = aux.fk
and r.table_name = aux.table_fk
and up.constraint_name = aux.r
and up.table_name = aux.table_r;
-- + Dynamic SQL
If anyone has any suggestions and / or reuse code to me thank you very much!
After resolving this standoff intend to mount the inserts in utl_file by a table and create another program to read and play in the development environment.

My thanks in advance,

Thanks, Peter.
Well, I am working with release 9.2.0.8.0. But the planning is migrate to 10g this year. So my questions are:
With Data Pump can export data just from tables owned for me (SCHEMAS = MYOWNER) parameterizing the volume of data (SAMPLE) and filters to table (QUERY), right? But parameterizing a contract table QUERY = "WHERE status NOT IN (2,6) ORDER BY contract ":
1º- the Data Pump automatically searches for related data in other tables in the owner? ex. parcel table has X records related (fk) with Y contracts not in (2,6): X * SAMPLE records will be randomly exported?
2º- for the tables without relation (fk) and which are within the owner (MYOWNER) the data is exported only based on the parameter SAMPLE?
Once again, thank you,
Philips

          results.append(r.getObject(i)+"\t");
         results.append("\n");
     s.close();
}

It's a classpath problem. Either you mistyped the class name, or you don't have the class in your classpath. I think Oracle's drivers come in db12.zip or db12.jar or some such. Whatever that jar or zip file is, it has to be in your classpath, but it's not.
Or it is in your classpath, but you're in an appserver context where the classloader that the container provides for your app uses something other than the classpath variable. For instance, in tomcat, the jar file would be uder webapps/yourApplication/WEB-INF/lib I think.

Exporting selective data

Hi All,
Is it possible to export selective records from tables while exporting whole schema ?
If I am exporting a whole schema, with exp or expdp, I want to export everything (i.e. structure and data), except few rows from a table based on a "WHERE" clause. Is that possible ?
I am on Oracle 10.2.
Thanks in advance

Yea your should be able to.
Check the following - this is for 9i so for 10g it should also be applicable.
QUERY
Default: none
This parameter allows you to select a subset of rows from a set of tables when doing a table mode export. The value of the query parameter is a string that contains a WHERE clause for a SQL SELECT statement that will be applied to all tables (or table partitions) listed in the TABLE parameter.
For example, if user scott wants to export only those employees whose job title is SALESMAN and whose salary is less than 1600, he could do the following (this example is UNIX-based):
exp scott/tiger TABLES=emp QUERY=\"WHERE job=\'SALESMAN\' and sal \<1600\"

It would appear that you external table definition and the external data file data do not match up. Post a few input records so someone can duplicate the problem and determine the fix.

Selecting data from Multiple Partitions in a single select stmt.

Hi all,
My Database is very large & my tables are partitioned.
My question is:
1) If my data is spread across multiple partitions, is there any way to select data from multiple partitions in a single query?
If we dont mention partition name also it works fine, but perofmance wise it will be very slow. (Using EXPLAIN PLAN)
(Note:I dont want to make use of Union concept, i want to do it in a single select statement)
For ex:
qry1.sql:
select empno from emp_trans partition (P012000)
This above query(qry1.sql) will work fine.
qry2.sql:
select empno from emp_trans partition (P012000,P022000)
The above query(qry2.sql) will return will return the following error:
ORA-00933: SQL command not properly ended
If anybody has any solution for this, pls mail me immediately.
Thanks in advance
bye
null

All my queries are dynamically generated. All my tables are also indexed partition wise based on date field. My question is, if i want to mention multiple partition names at the time of generating my query(select), then with parformance will be good. I have refered some books, inthat what they say is to use UNION concept, i dont want to use that, instead i want in a single select statement.
Thaks for ur reply
