can bind us a single external table with multiple files in OWB 11 g?

Hello

I wanted to ask if it is possible to link an external table with several source files in same or different places? Or an external table must be bound to a single source file and one place.

Thanks in advance,
Ann.

Hello Ann,.

Can you please help me by telling me the steps to achieve this.

Right-click on the external table in the project tree, from the menu choose Configure.
then open right clock the node data files dialog Configuration properties and choose from the menu - Create
you will get a new record for the file - name of file data property

Also the link of the OWB user guide

External table with the preprocessor file to display the list of files

Hello
in my db 11.2.0.2 I would create an external table with script preprocessor to show me the list of files in a directory.
Preprocessor banally:
#! / bin/bash
CD/MyDir
/ bin/ls-l *.txt 2 >/dev/null
The problem is the file name that contains white space (style windows in a Linux env), for ex:
-rw - r - r - 1 oracle oinstall 920 9 Jun 17:37 File1.txt
-rw - r - r - 1 oracle oinstall 72316 Jun 10 10:37 file GC output1.txt
-rw - r - r - 1 oracle oinstall 72316 Jun 10 10:40 GC file output2.txt
So I can't use FIELDS DELIMITED BY "". ""
FIXED size? No, because the file size change the length of the lines.
I tried to use awk in my preprocessos script, but I have the same problem:

/ bin/ls-l *.txt 2 >/dev/null | / bin/awk ' {printf "%s %.2d %s %s\n", $6, $ 7, $ 8, $9} '.

Any ideas?

Gears - error when you try to insert values into a table with multiple columns

Hello

I started playing with the gears and SQlLite today and I get an error when I try to insert values into a table with multiple columns.

I have:
```
var db = google.gears.factory.create('beta.database');
    db.open('developerSet');
    db.execute('create table if not exists Developers (DeveloperName text, DeveloperAge int)');

    var devName = "Davy"
    var devAge = 32;

    try {
        db.execute('insert into Developers values (?, ?)', [devName, devAge]);
        alert('success');
    }
    catch (e) {
        alert(e);
    }
```
I get the error:

net.rim.device.api.database.DatabaseException; insert into developers values (?,?): SQL logic error or missing database.

I use this reference: http://code.google.com/apis/gears/api_database.html

Everything works if I have only one field as:
```
var db = google.gears.factory.create('beta.database');
    db.open('developerSet');
    db.execute('create table if not exists Developers (DeveloperName text)');

    var devName = "Davy"
    var devAge = 32;

    try {
        db.execute('insert into Developers values (?)', [devName]);
        alert('success');
    }
    catch (e) {
        alert(e);
    }
```
I use the plug-in Visual Studio 2.0 for 2008 that are running Windows XP SP and Simulator 2.13.0.56

Thank you

Yes, a SQLite database will persist between battery pulls. The database is registered either to internal MEM or removable media (not the device memory), depending on which is available on your device.

In general, its not considered a best practice to remove your table as soon as it is empty and re - create it again when you want to add data. This adds extra overhead fresh for the final, delete and insert first for a given table. Instead, define and finalize your drawing before you create your table. Once created, review the static schema.

That being said, for development purposes, it may be easier to provide an easy way to drop your tables while you develop your schema.

See you soon,.

Error when calling a procedure using an external table with c#.

Hello
I'm developing an application scheduler with Visual Studio 2010 (c#) to start my PL/SQL procedures.
Everything works fine with each procedure, but one who reads the contents of an external table.
Strange thing is when I start the same procedure with Toad, I have no problem, but when I run with my c# code:

OracleCommand cmdMET = new OracleCommand();

cmdMET.CommandText = 'STG_AE. M_MET_S_EXT_DEFECT ';

cmdMET.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;

con = cmdMET.Connection;

OracleParameter retvalMET = new OracleParameter ("value", OracleDbType.Varchar2, 50);

retvalMET.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue;

cmdMET.Parameters.Add (retvalMET);

cmdMET.ExecuteNonQuery ();

I got this error:

ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEFETCH legend

ORA-01722: invalid number

I can't understand why it works when I run it with Toad and why I get this error when launching of it with c#... Any advice would be great!
Thank you!

I can't understand why it works when I run it with Toad and why I get this error when launching of it with c#... Any advice would be great!

The error led to think that a string to number conversion fails all by accessing the external table.

What is the format of numeric fields in the external file?

I'm guessing that your session NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS setting is defined differently whether you're in your application c# or toad.

Could check you on both?

External table with the empty file

Hello
My version of db: Oracle 11 g
I have a csv file that is empty.
I created an external table the empty csv file.
When I run:
Select count (*) in the externaltblname;
It returns 1.
It should return 0 to the right.
In the definition, I specified "SKIP 1.
But he always returns 1.
When I use this external table to load into a table target. It loads a single row with null values.
How to solve this problem. Please advice.

What works for me is the following (t_ext points to a blank csv):

SQL > select count (field) in the t_ext;

COUNT (FIELD)

------------

1

1 selected line.

SQL > select ascii (field) in the t_ext;

ASCII (FIELD)

------------

13

1 selected line.

SQL > select count (replace (field, chr (13))) of t_ext;

COUNT (REPLACE (FIELD, CHR (13)))

-----------------------------

0

1 selected line.

Can take us backup of external table using expdp
Can take us backup of the external table using expdp, please suggest any doc.

Thanks in advance.
Yes, this works, see this example:

External table with mixed columns

Hello everyone. We use Oracle 11R1. We have an external table pointing to a CSV with 7 columns inside. The file has always column 7 but the column order differs from time to time. Each column has a header that remains consistent. Is there a way to map the column names to the column header, s so that we did not change the definition of the external table every time a new file is available in?
Thank you.

Hello

As John said, you must assign names of columns when the table is created. I guess you could have a dynamic SQL solution that reads the header you mentioned, uses this information to write a CREATE table, drop the table, and then recreated with the new order of the columns.

You may have a view that maps the 7 columns in your table of 7 columns in the view. Which column gets the mapping to that may depend on the header.

Loading external Table with quotes

I have a file with fields in the file are as TAB delimiter ~ TAB.
Example as below:
QM ~ CD ~ Exzm ~ BMW
DM ~ BD ~ Exzm ~ BMW
CREATE TABLE test

Col_2 VARCHAR2 (100),
Col_3 VARCHAR2 (100),
Col_4 VARCHAR2 (100)

DEFAULT DIRECTORY 'Test_Report '.
ACCESS SETTINGS
(records delimited by '\n'
CHARACTERSET 'UTF8 '.
fields terminated by '\t~\t '.
missing field values are null
)
LOCATION ("test.asc")
)
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
OUTPUT:
----------------
Data loaded in DB, but col_4 data comes from the quotation as below
col_4
-------
"BMW".
"BMW".
Note: Col1 - col3 data arrives correctly.

2807064 wrote:

A finding on my side.

I found that the values of Col_4 after inserting into DB with "transport return character" (CHR (13)) at the end of each value as shown below when I copy paste the value in notepad ++ "»

Example:

----------

"BMW".

But if I see the file I saw that BMW.

My question is, in this case the external table loading must fail right? Why is this it is to load data in DB?

Do you have this file begin life on windows, and then are transferred to * nix to serve an external table? If so, which explains a lot. Windows is the standard record delimiter x '0d0a' (Chr (13) 10) On * nix, it's just x '0A' (10. When the process of loader is scanning for record delimiter he's just looking for the '0A' x and x'd 0' gets included in the data.

Two solutions-

1 - Make sure that the data file is transferred so that the Records delimiters are converted. It's supposed to to happen with ascii ftp mode, but this week I saw several examples in the House of it does not.

2. attach your table definition external to seek the delimiter of actual recording instead of the default value of the operating system. == RECORDS DELIMITED BY X '0D0A '.

Several flat_files through the external table with only the common columns of loading
Hi, I have 50 flat files and each of them have some columns (fields) common and I need to load only the fields that are common to an external Table. Is any chance to do it with education unique external table. Or I need to load all flat_files at separate tables and then with the ETG and UNION load them only one table.
If the page size for all the files are different, I think that your only option would be to define different external tables and create a view that joins all the.

External table for the file delimmited by commas

Im trying to create a table of externla for the comma-delimited file
but it also has a scenario where the fields can have a comma between "" e.g.

example of record

1,one,first
2,two,second
3,three,third
4,four,"4,fourth"

Example of table

create table ext_table_csv (
  i   Number,
  n   Varchar2(20),
  m   Varchar2(20)
)
organization external (
  type              oracle_loader
  default directory ext_dir
  access parameters (
    records delimited  by newline
    fields  terminated by ','
    missing field values are null
  )
  location ('file.csv')
)
reject limit unlimited;

So when I question this record 4 table of Externla will be read as

M/2

i           n                      m
4         four     "4
{code}
Above Ext table is just an example, Im adding bad file and log file in real table.

Please help me if there is a way this can be resolved with external table.

Change the definition of:

FIELDS TERMINATED BY ', '.

TO:

FIELDS ENDED BY ',' POSSIBLY FRAMED BY "" "
