1.is it possible to read a .xls file and load it into an oracle table

1.is it possible to read a .xls file and load it into an oracle table, using oracle database or oracle forms i.e. either utl_file, or text_io, or any other oracle tool.
As far as I know we need a csv file or a txt ( tab delimited) file ?
2.Are there any windows tools for the same

Hi,
If you want to use the DDE package to read the XLS file then yes, you will neeed to know the number of rows and columns in the input file.
i.e. How will you know :
1) How many columns are there in the input file.
If I have a XLS file with the following data :
R1C1 R1C2 R1C3 R1C4 R1C5 R1C6 R1C7
xxx xx x
Where R represents row and C represents column, then how will you know the each row has 7 columns. If you know the answer upfront, then it's not a issue.
Using the DDE apprach, you will have to specify the RowNum and the ColumnNo of each idividual cells to read/write data from xls sheet.
Look at the syntax in my ealier post.
using the other approch (i.e. comma delimited text file - CSV file) , you need not know the number of columns as you can loop thru the input record till the last column is read.
All you have to do is to look for the 'n' occurances of the field delimiter say ',', do a substr from the current position to the point where the ',' was found.
This process is to be repeated in a loop till all columns are read.
The TEXT_IO package can trap for EOF (End Of File).
Hope I made myself clear.

Load from xls file

Does anyone know a way to extract data from an xls file to load into the database WITHOUT someone having to open it in excel and convert to a csv ?

Here's something that was posted on a previous thread that allows you to set up the excel workbook as an external datasource....
1- Go to Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Data Sources (ODBC)>System DSN and create a data source with appropriate driver. Name it EXCL.
2- In %ORACLE_HOME%\Network\Admin\Tnsnames.ora fie add entry:
MSACC =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS_LIST =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.12.0.24)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = EXCL)
(HS = OK)
Here SID is the name of data source that you have just created.
3- In %ORACLE_HOME%\Network\Admin\Listener.ora file add:
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(SID_NAME = <hs_sid>)
(ORACLE_HOME = <oracle home>)
under SID_LIST_LISTENER like:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\ORA9DB)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = ORA9DB)
(ORACLE_HOME = d:\ORA9DB)
(SID_NAME = ORA9DB)
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = hsodbc)
(SID_NAME = EXCL)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\ora9db)
4- In %ORACLE_HOME%\hs\admin create init<HS_SID>.ora. For our sid EXCL we create file initexcl.ora.
In this file set following two parameters:
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = excl
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = 0
5- Now connect to Oracle database and create database link with following command:
SQL> CREATE DATABASE LINK excl
2 USING 'excl'
3 /
Database link created.
Now you can perform query against this database like you would for any remote database.
SQL> SELECT table_name FROM all_tables@excl;
TABLE_NAME
DEPT
EMPI've tried it and it works, although your data has to be in a flat(ish) format with the first row on each sheet being the column headings.

"Memory effect" when loading .xls file information using PropertyLoader

I have a TestStand 3.1 application, in which the sequence start off loading a number of configuration settings embedded in different .xls files using the PropertyLoader.
Unfortunately, Teststand sometimes loads the previously used .xls files (same name, located elsewhere), rather than those it were supposed to. In particular, if a .xls file is missing, Teststand will often (always?) load a previously used file with the same name, but located elsewhere. VERY inconvinient when testing ...!
Is there any way to remove this unfortunate "memory effect"?

Where are your sequence files located? If the .xls files are relative to them you might want to use a more fully specified relative path to the files (for example: bin\config\filename.xls) rather than just filename.xls. Then becareful to remove search directories (especially recursive ones) that you might have added to find these files. It's very easy to get into problems with recursive search directories or by adding too many search directories if you have lots of files with the same names, by instead using paths relative to the sequence file you can avoid the need to add search directories in many cases.
Hope this helps,
-Doug

Load array variable from external xls file

I want to initialize an array variable using an external xls file.
I am trying with property loader step but I have to insert manuallly all the elements of the array.
Is there any other way to do this?
Thanks
Valter

Hi FiloP
When i open and close your example in my Teststand (Engine and Editor 4.0.0.326) Teststand asked me to save
some NI-Tpyes.ini !!!
That means my TS NI Types from release date: 2007-April-05 differes from yours.
There could be to two reasons: your files are conterminated or NI have relased a new update with newer step-types.
So until this not clear everbody should be carefully. Never acept savings to NI-Types when closing.
To get more information about this please visit this thread:

Loaded os maverick now can't open xls file

I just updated OS Maverick and now can't open xls files - any idea?

What version of Office? If 2004 or X, upgrade to 2011. Or use one of the free alternatives.
Other than that, please provide more details.

XLS Files created by SSRS will not open in Numbers on the iPad

The company I work for creates business intelligence reports which are used in an education environment and are created daily and e-mailed out to staff. These reports contain fairly simple tables with pupil data.
One customer uses iPads extensively to maximise the quick response to this (behaviour) data. There is an issue which seems to be prevalent in newer versions of Numbers where these documents can not be opened. I note a previous discussion on this matter where the only solution was to save the file in excel and then the sheets would open. This is not really an option here.
I presume that there is some data missing in the header of the XLS file or something but if anyone has any information on this, especially if I can adapt the report in any way to include this data, please let me know if you have overcome a similar issue and how you went about it.
Thanks,
Pete H

Hi - thank you for your responses. I don't have an iPad so testing is all being done on site.
The report is based on three tabs, each producing a basic table with data in. I can create the reports in CSV and they work fine although the format is all wrong (no tabs etc etc) - but that would lead me to believe that it is nothing in the actual data which is causing the load error. It also seems fairly intermittent, so I tested with a few different file sizes to make sure it wasn't this - and again nothing too conclusive there.
I presume quicklook is the built in function to view a file, I spotted this today but again it won't open in that or then again when asked to open in Numbers.
Hunting around this forum it seems there is some issue in general with opening some XLS files (especially ones created by SSRS) depending on iOS version, so that is the route I will be looking at tomorrow. Putting these files through a save loop in excel isn't really an option, so I am going to test with a go between e-mail tomorrow which has in some cases seemed to do the trick - maybe appending something to the original file. Some other posts have suggested that an XLSX file seems to work a lot better and that is supported in MS SQL 2012 which is on the way for our customers at some point.
Definitely an awkward one!
Thanks,
Pete

Migration Tip - File Loading Issues solved by Disk Permission Repair

Had a huge problem with Excel files after migrating old iMac to new iMac via migration assistant using time machine backup of old iMac (external drive). After migration, old excel version did not work but we had alread purchased a new 2011 home version. Installed Excel 2011 after migrating and none of the Excel files would load on new iMac, from either machine - a pop up message said it could be a bunch of things, read only, etc... Numbers would access the Excel files, and could export to xls file type, but still the Excel file would not load in Excel.
From a thread suggestion, I ran the Disk Utility First Aid tab Verify Disk Permissions - holy cow, must have been two gazillion permission issues on a brand new machine - selected Repair Disk Permissions once the Verify list came up, and voila, all good on the Excel files now - they load fine.
(I assume that some of you actually know what happens and can explain it - something maybe about "cloning" the account from the Time Machine backup of my old iMac and not using a new account on the new machine, or something. Whatever, it seems that a new disk should not have two gazillion permission errors and that my migration from the Time Machine backup created them, and Disk Utility fixed them - all except two permissions that did not fix properly: itunes..../iPodUpdater and usr/lib/ruby - I assume those must be managed manually somehow if Disk Utility will not repair.)

Nice tip/report thanks!
Likely a different User UID owned those files, first user generally gets 501, second gets 502, etc., so as a rule, only one of them would have rights to the files.

Xls File format

I use SAP 6.0 and I am having difficulty with the downloading of excel reports.
Here is my issue.
I run a report in SAP and save it locally as a xls file. This seems fine but the reality is the file is not a true xls file
When I go to open it using excel 2007 I get a warning error saying u201Cfile not in the expected format. u201C I click ok and the file opens and then I have to save it in xls or xlsx format and the file is fine.
My issue is that I upload this file into a SQL Db and unless I go change the format of the file to a true xls file the upload does not work correctly.
I have tried saving the file in several formats and loading it from a flat file but because of the formatting of the file I canu2019t do that (Repeated Header rows at each page break).
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Sorta had a feeling that was going to be the answer.
I spoke with the IT Department and the guys who original developed the report and the format it used when ran in the background.
They intentionally put the page footers and column headers in on each new page in excel. THis was for printing. They did say that for just a few hours of Re-billing back to or department they would be happy to remove that formatting. Ugghhhh
Well thanks for the help
oh yea, I would use and unformatted text file but because the column deliminator for each column is I (which is desireable) That is not true for the headers and footers. That deliminator is a tab. Crazy Crazy stuff

Reading DBF & XLS files from ODI-AIX

Hi all
I need to read DBF (Foxpro) and XLS files from ODI 10.1.3.5 for AIX 6.x
Anyone knows what drivers we need to install or any other kind of method to read them?
Thanks in advance
Ernest !

Ernest,
To load DBF on AIX, you will need to use a DBF Foxpro jdbc driver. One of the drivers can be purchased from http://www.csv-jdbc.com/stels_dbf_jdbc.htm
or
http://www.hxtt.com/dbf.html
Copy the driver in the $ODI_HOME/oracledi/drivers directory and restart the agent if you have any.
Then you need to configure a Dbase physical dataserver + physical schema with the following JDBC URL
jdbc:jstels:dbf:/yourserverpath/dir_containing_dbf_files
Obviously, you will also need to define the corresponding logical schema
And after you define a model based on the logical schema, you will define the datastore. The "resource name" will contain name of the dbf file without the .dbf.
For XLS, you can try the drivers from the listed above.

Upload content in xls file to oracle table

I am creating a HTMLDB report using a SQL query that refers to multiple tables.
The data is present in multiple xls file (which in turn are downloaded form a 3rd party tool), which I upload using the HTMLDB data load/unload option in Utilities and created tables and created a report querying these tables.
But since the data changes almost everyday, manual 'drop table' and 'upload data' from xls into tables using the option in Utilities is not feasible. One way of automating this would be to programmatically upload the data in the xls file into tables in Oracle database and created the HTMLDB report by querying the data in the tables in the Oracle database via database link from HTMLDB.
For this, I would like to know how to upload data in xls into tables in Oracle database. The 1st row of xls files consists of header data, which has to be converted to coulmns in the table.
Simply put, I think, I need the same feature as given by the HTMLDB 's data upload option in Utilities.
Does any one know how to do this or can provide any alternatives?

Hello,
You've some options:
- I think working with external tables would be of a great benefit to you.
This is a feature of the Oracle database, so not really APEX.
- If you want to stick with the uploads, have a look here: http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/howto_create_upload_spreadsheet_form.html
- Vikas also created a sample app doing the load automatically here: http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=38131:1
Hope that helps,
Dimitri

Hi,
yes I know, I have used the MessageTransformBean module, and the PayloadSwapBean module. But which parameter I should use for leaving only one attachement in the e-mail. I did this configuration:
1
localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean
Local Enterprise Bean
trans
2
localejbs/AF_Modules/PayloadSwapBean
Local Enterprise Bean
swap
3
localejbs/AF_Modules/MessageTransformBean
Local Enterprise Bean
trans1
4
localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.aii.adapter.mail.app/XIMailAdapterBean
Local Enterprise Bean
mail
Module configuration
trans
Transform.ContentDisposition
inline
swap
swap.keyName
payload-name
swap
swap.keyValue
Segur
trans1
Transform.ContentDescription
Segur
trans1
Transform.ContentDisposition
attachment;filename="Segur.xls"
trans1
Transform.ContentType
application/vnd.ms-excel;name="Segur.xls"
In the e-mail I get one attachement without name .xml and another one Segur.xsl, and I want only one attachment, the last one. What I should change in my configuration??
Best regards,
Luis
