UTL_FILE.FOPEN in PL/SQL

Hi,
I want to use UTL_FILE.FOPEN in PL/SQL procedure. I keep getting an exception when I try to open the file.
FDebug := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('D:\SQL', 'debug.txt', 'w');
UTL_FILE.PUT_LINE(FDebug, 'Hello World');
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(FDebug);
I believe the problem is that the directory is inaccessible.
I read in another post that the UTL_FILE_DIR must be set in the init.ora file. However, I do not have an init.ora file. I am willing to add one but do not know how.
Any help would be aprreciated.
Thank You,
Scott

Up to 8i, Oracle refused to access a file that is not pointed to in the utl_file_dir parameter in the init<sid>.ora file.
In Oracle 9i, in order to access a file, either the utl_file_dir parameter must be set, or one has to create a directory as create or replace directory dir_temp as 'c:\temp';

Utl_file.fopen

Hi everyone..
I am using utl_file to write delimited data into text files.In the utl_file.fopen i changed the default l "max line size" to 32767 when i got some error regarding the line size.After changing that that max line size paramaterer,I am getting lot of space after each line.
Does that max line size parameter means that every line "should" be that size? why i am getting lot of space after each line?
question1:
======
How to remove that empty spaces that i got after each line in my text file?
FILEHANDLE := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('TEST_UTL_FILE','file_name.txt', 'W',32767);And i am trying to find the length of the string that i am passing it utl_file.put_line
I am trying to insert that length to a "test" table ,so that i can check the max length of each line that is passing to the utl_file.
I have this insert command in my PL/SQL block
insert into test_number_char (num) values (dbms_lob.getlength(EXTRACTED_STRING)); and the data type of "num" column is number(20,0)
I am getting the following error .
ERROR getting members -1461 ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG columnquestion 2:

How to get the length of the string that i am writing into file?

Cannot create a file using UTL_FILE.FOPEN

Dear All,
I am using this syntax for creating a file in window
i have declare this like this
l_file_id UTL_FILE.file_type;
l_file_name := 'DHL_'||110570284||'_'||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'ddmmyyyy')||'.txt'
l_file_id :=UTL_FILE.FOPEN('C:\D2R',l_file_name,'W');
Is this syntax work?
My database version is oralce 10g
Thanks

First of all, UTL_FILE is PL/SQL package and is executed on database server side, not on client side. Therefore, it is trying to create file in directory C:\D2R on database sefrver. So if you want to create file in directory C:\D2R on your client box - you can't. Next point - you are specifying directory explicitly which old and obsolete syntax. It requires, for security reasons to add C:\D2R to init.ora parameter UTL_FILE_DIR, otherwise UTL_FILE will raise an error. You should use directory objects:
CREATE DIRECTORY dir AS 'C:\D2R';and grant READ/WRITE on it to users. Then use:
l_file_id :=UTL_FILE.FOPEN('DIR',l_file_name,'W'); -- use directory name in upper caseAnd keep in mind, as I already mentioned UTL_FILE is PL/SQL package and is executed on database server side which means it runs under OS user oracle. Therefore OS user oracle must have write permission on C:\D2R.

Ok, so that is telling us that you have your queries split over multiple lines?
In that case you need to "switch on" the output of lines from the moment you find a "select" and then switch it off again when you get a line that indicates the end of the select. So let's assume your selects end with a ";" as the last character on the last line of the select, you can do something like this...
DECLARE
f utl_file.file_type;
s varchar2(2000);
in_select boolean;
BEGIN
f := utl_file.fopen('TRACE1','DB_ora_1118250.trc.txt','R');
in_select := false;
LOOP
    BEGIN
      UTL_FILE.GET_LINE(f,s);
      if lower(s) like '%select%' or in_select then
        dbms_output.put_line(s);
        in_select := not(s like '%;'); -- stop when we get to ";" at end of a line.
      end if;
    EXCEPTION
      WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN EXIT ;
    END;
END LOOP;
utl_file.fclose(f);
END;
Also i attempted to cut only table name from the output select query.I tried something like o :=substr(s,instr(s,'from')+4);PFB the code and output.Pls let me know where am i going wrong.
DECLARE
2 f utl_file.file_type;
3 s varchar2(2000);
4 op varchar2(1000);
5 BEGIN
6 f := utl_file.fopen('TRACE_EXTRACT','DB_ora_1118250.trc.txt','R');
7 LOOP
8 BEGIN
9 UTL_FILE.GET_LINE(f,s);
10 if lower(s) like '%select%' then
11 op :=substr(s,instr(s,'from')+4);
12 dbms_output.put_line(op);
13 end if;
14
15 EXCEPTION
16 WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN EXIT ;
17 END;
18 END LOOP;
19 utl_file.fclose(f);
20 END;
21 /
ECT uid,tname,str,acol,hcol,TO__CHAR(u_time,'DD-MM-YYYY
ECTgroup,name,address1,state,country,fax_no,
that's because there is no "from" on those lines, so the result of the instr is 0 and you are adding 4, so you are getting all characters from character 4 onwards.
What you need in conjunction with my above suggestion is something like this...
DECLARE
f utl_file.file_type;
s varchar2(2000);
in_select boolean;
BEGIN
f := utl_file.fopen('TRACE1','DB_ora_1118250.trc.txt','R');
in_select := false;
LOOP
    BEGIN
      UTL_FILE.GET_LINE(f,s);
      if lower(s) like '%select%' or in_select then
        dbms_output.put_line(s);
        if lower(s) like '%from%' then
          dbms_output.put_line('TABLES: '||substr(s,instr(s,'from'+5))); -- +5 to get past the from and the space character after it.
        end if;
        in_select := not(s like '%;'); -- stop when we get to ";" at end of a line.
      end if;
    EXCEPTION
      WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN EXIT ;

i was under the impression that there will be a moderator who will redirect the question even by mistake we post? is it not?Absolutely not. On the APEX forum we are in the fortunate position of having members of Oracle's APEX team actively involved, but neither they nor any of the other contributors perform the role of moderator or have administrative access to the forum system.

If there is a mismatch between what you do in your code in Oracle, and what the o/s is configured for, then this type of "+translation+" error is to be expected.

Oracle 9i UTL_FILE.FOPEN throwing READ_ERROR

Hi
while running the package containg UTL_FILE.FOPEN
I am getting an error for reading the file on this statement :
v_file_handler := UTL_FILE.FOPEN(i_directory_path,i_file_name,'R');This happens in UNIX ,LINUX and windows NT server .
kindly suggest , whether this is an OS error (technical problem) or something else .
thanx in advance ,
Ashutosh .

Hi
the UTL_FILE.FOPEN only opens an existing flat file on your OS , the UTL_FILE.GET_LINE reads from the file.
many reasons to generate a read error .
the file can be corrupted, the file doesn't exists or you havent configured the UTL_FIL_DIR parameter in the init.ora file which should be on the machine where the database is.
make sure you have the correct file name and the parameter is set.
also try to handle the exception.
WHEN UTL_FILE.READ_ERROR THEN
RAISE_APPLICATION_ERROR (-20204, SQLCODE || ' ' || SQLERRM);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(v_filehandle);
like this you can get the exact error code and message.

Query Regarding UTL_FILE.fopen() -

Guys hope you all doin well-
I am using Oracle 9i release 2 -
I am having problem while i am trying to open a file using the UTL_FILE builtin package -
I created the directory as well where the file is located, that i want to access
While i am executing the utl_file.fopen function returns record
location in varchar2 ,
filename in varchar2 ,
open_mode in varchar2 ,
max_linesize in binary_integer default
returns the following error ORA-29283: invalid file operation
The description of the error i found is:
ORA-29283: invalid file operation
Cause: An attempt was made to read from a file or directory that does not exist, or file or directory access was denied by the operating system.
Action: Verify file and directory access privileges on the file system, and if reading, verify that the file exists
The file exists and the user has the privileges to access the file too - but still having problems
please help -
if any buddy has the idea please share -
Thanks
Y.V.

Hello Y.V.
Have you set the parameter utl_file_dir? Please check. In most of the cases the problem is because of this parameter
You can set it to directory that you want to access. Or else you can set it to * (which means) that UTL_FILE would be able to read from any directory on which Oracle Binary Owner has got access. Please be careful when setting this to *
To check the parameter use query:
select name,value from v$parameter
where name ='utl_file_dir';

How to run SQL from PL/SQL?

hi,
i want to run sql script from PL/SQL,
in my PL/SQL,i have given the path within the double quotes,
@"/usr/local/pbiace/current/bin/handle.sql" but while running the script im getting some exception.
pls guide me.....

What is your OS.
First example, divide three part scritps and then
cat beforepart.sql account.sql afterpart.sql | sqlplus user/password@connectstring
type beforepart.sql+account.sql+afterpart.sql | sqlplus user/password@connectstring
Second example, divide two part scripts.
acc2.sql
declare HandleN varchar(20);
begin
select pbhandlenamelower INTO HandleN from pb_handle where pbhandleid in(select max(pbhandleid)
from pb_handle where ha_customerentityid in (select acct_customerentityid from account
where acct_accountid = &1 )) AND pbmainhandleflag=1 ;
do.pl('==============================') ;
do.pl('Handle Name: ' || HandleN ) ;
do.pl('==============================') ;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
do.pl('No rows selected');
END;
exit
main.sql
set serveroutput on
varaiable variable1 NUMBER
DECLARE
data varchar2(20);
BEGIN
data:='&1';
select BI_ACCOUNTID into :variable1 from pb_bill_info where PBBTN=data;
do.pl('BI_ACCOUNTID');
do.pl('------------');
do.pl(:variable1);
end;
@acc2 :variabl1
Third Example
create or replace directory SCRIPTS_DIR as 'path name'
acc3.sql (Only 1 statement, don't include into-clause and ';')
select pbhandlenamelower from pb_handle where pbhandleid in(select max(pbhandleid)
from pb_handle where ha_customerentityid in (select acct_customerentityid from account
where acct_accountid = :variable1 )) AND pbmainhandleflag=1
main.sql
set serveroutput on
DECLARE
data varchar2(20);
variable1 NUMBER;
HandleN varchar(20);
p_sql varchar2(32000) := '';
File_Handle UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
Read_line varchar2(4000);
BEGIN
data:='&1';
select BI_ACCOUNTID into variable1 from pb_bill_info where PBBTN=data;
do.pl('BI_ACCOUNTID');
do.pl('------------');
do.pl(variable1);
File_Handle := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('SCRIPTS_DIR','acc3.sql','r');
loop
UTL_FILE.GET_LINE(File_Handle, Read_line);
exit when no_data_found;
p_sql := p_sql || Read_line || chr(32) ;
end loop;
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(File_Handle);
execute imediate p_sql into HandleN using varaiable1;
do.pl('==============================') ;
do.pl('Handle Name: ' || HandleN ) ;
do.pl('==============================') ;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
do.pl('No rows selected');
END;
Or Some many other Examples and those are maybe more simple, only if you would analyze your business requirements.
