Capture end spaces in external table

Hi all

Why do the table below is not capture these 2 spaces in the select statement?

I want sequence_number of column to a varchar2 type not char data type. If I use the char data type it will show the length of 7 characters in a statement select but if I use varchar2, then it

shows 5 characters.

    You need to carefully examine the description of the PREPROCESSOR option in the chapter of the manual external Tables utility.

    The first point that applies to your question is that the preprocessor must write its data transformed to stdout. To do this with gunzip, you use the - c command line parameter. The second point that applies to your case, in view of the answer to the first point, is that you must write a script shell if your preprocessor requires command line settings.

  • Problem of null external Table spaces

    Hello

    I am trying to create an external table from a txt file. What follows is the file example.txt source: -.

    You can cut out the spaces after the last field? There is only 1 rank, why its pointing to line 2.

    Concerning

  • The external Table storage

    Since data is stored outdoors, and the definition that is stored inside, it means that a the table structure of the outer table is stored in the database as well (or a virtual table based on the definition of the external table...)

    I'll hit the ORA-DOCS again once, back in the external tables read tonight on them 2 or 3 sources and it is not quite clear whether real data with structure exists outside the database or an internal table set (and stored) retrieves data from an outside source.

    Since data is stored outdoors, and the definition that is stored inside, it means that a the table structure of the outer table is stored in the database as well (or a virtual table based on the definition of the external table...)

    The 'definition' you refer to IS the structure of the table; they are one and the same. There is no 'table' stored in the database using space or storage. When a query on an external table is executed, the data source is read.

    
I'll be hitting the ORA-DOCS up again, just got back into external tables tonight reading up on them from 2-3 sources and it is not quite clear if an actual data with structure exists out of the database , or an internally defined (and stored?) table draws data from an outside source.

    I suggest you that start with the documentation of Oracle - including the ground provided the link to:

    If any "metadata" are stored outside the database depends on if the file that is outside of the database was produced by Oracle using the robot UNLOADING discussed in this doc

    Unloading of data using ORACLE_DATAPUMP Access driver

    To unload data, you use the ORACLE_DATAPUMP driver access. The stream that is discharged is in a proprietary format and contains all of the data column for each row being unloaded.

    A discharge operation also creates a stream of metadata that describes the content of the data stream. The information in the metadata stream are required to load the stream. Therefore, the metadata stream is written to the file data and placed before the data stream.

    If YOU provide data/files, then you MUST provide it in the format expected by the external table statement. You can, if you wish, use a preprocessor to convert ANY file (zip, encrypted, etc.) in the required format.

    For YOUR files, you can the metadata stored in the same file, or elsewhere, if you choose, but Oracle will have NO knowledge of this fact and not will NOT be involved in the transformation or read any of the metadata that you provide. Your preprocessor must remove all these metadata and ONLY provide data in the format appropriate for Oracle to use.

    If the file was produced by the process of UNLOADING Oracle then it will include metadata that Oracle WILL read, use, and remove as says this quote from doc above. These external metadata is added to the real external table definintion/metadata stored in the dictionary.

    Yes it is possible.  Let's not your date mask.  You're masking for 12-hour format when your data is in 24-hour format.  Change the mask of your date to be "YYYY-mm-dd-hh24. MI.ss ".  Notice the change in "BOLD".

    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 '.

  • Reg: question of external table-

    Hi Experts,

    I am trying to create and read from an external table, but it raises an error. Please notify.

    Scenario-

    I'm downloading a file of my APEX application that is stored in a BLOB field. Then, comes the following:

    DBMS_LOB.CREATETEMPORARY (v_clob, true);

    -/ / Convert BLOB on the CLOB type

    () DBMS_LOB.converttoclob

    v_clob, v_blob,

    DBMS_LOB. LOBMAXSIZE,

    v_dest_offset, v_src_offset,

    v_blob_csid, v_lang_context, g_msg

    );

    -/ / creating a csv file

    v_temp_filename: = 'apex_ ' | TO_CHAR (sysdate, 'yyyymmddhh24miss') |'. CSV';

    -/ / Put the csv file in the database directory 'APEX_DIR '.

  • 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?

    Hello

    I used java to retrieve information about the files.

  • Key issue of the external table preprocessor - ssh

    I want an external table that runs a df command in a script

    And it works.  I see my df output.

    I want to run something similar on multiple hosts, but the same host, so I place another table and call another shell script to run a remote ssh script after I have set user equivalence

    / usr/bin/SSH oracle@remotehost1 ' df-h | grep u02'

    the works of shell script

    However, qualifying by selecting in the external table I get ssh host checking has no error.

    So what could be the cause that if she works well as oracle from command line, checking the .ssh key is on the other side (I think).

    Modify the script above to include the following line as the second line of the script

  • SQL * Loader vs external tables to a single file with several types of records (intercalated)

    I have a file of sample data (we will have the a 'true' at a later date and put in day after that) which includes a header, footer, and 5 types of records, that have different columns and lengths, noticed by the first two characters. The different types of records are not all together. On the contrary, some (in particular, two of these types in this example) are intertwined. I am currently working on a SQL * Loader configuration file when it was suggested that I use external tables. I know very little of either, then I would ask what is the best to use.

    CD, hij, 456

  • In the external table files forming themselves!

    Hi all

    I am facing a weird situation.

    Few days back, DB has been improved to 11g 10g R2 and we are facing the situation of the training of logfiles, throw files have joined with external tables in the directory of the OS!

    Without job is calling them and the only procedure in which these paintings have been used in the SELECT statement, are not running, even while these files form themselves and fill space in the BONE.

    Here is the version information:

    Oracle Database 11 g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.3.0 - 64 bit Production

    PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.3.0 - Production

    AMT for IBM/AIX RISC System/6000: Version 11.2.0.3.0 - Production

    NLSRTL Version 11.2.0.3.0 - Production

    Please help in this regard.

    Thank you.

    Hi all

    Problem has been identified.

    11 g, dbms_stats.gather_stats_job runs all day until 22:00 and after every 4 hours on weekends.

    He also tried gathering statistics for external tables given through the GATHER_TABLE_STATS procedure.

    In the process, he joint/written in the log files.

    Now, I think of locking statistics from this table, so that no stats will be gathered for what is just an EXTERNAL table which is used/populated only once a month.

    Suggestions or comments?

    Thank you.

  • Creating the external Table - length fixed

    I was responsible for importing data in fixed length of a text file in an oracle table. To do this, I create an external Table. I'm finally at the point where the script works to create the table, but when I run a statement select for ' select * from external table ', I have received only a single line/record (the first line of the text file).

    This is what the script looks like:

    Hello
    Which characters do you have in your data file that define the "line break".

    Oracle documentation:

    If DELIMITED BY NEWLINE is specified, then the actual value used is platform-specific. On UNIX platforms, NEWLINE is assumed to be "\n". On Windows NT, NEWLINE is assumed to be "\r\n".

    you have these 'hidden' characters in your folder or are they something else?

    Kind regards

  • How can we not consider a field missing for external tables

    My to Oracle. East of 10 gr 2
    I created an external table using the following syntax:

    create the table ext_table
    (a number (5),)
    b number (5),
    c varchar2 (1000))
    external organization
    (type ORACLE_LOADER

    fields ended by "#".
    (a char (5),
    b tank (5),
    c char (1000)))
    location ("file.csv")
    );

    My problem is the following. I have a file. XLS I save as a file. CSV sometimes any line of the file. XLS for young woman of the last column and so in my folder. CSV, I can have something like this:

    123 123 # #xxx
    456 #456

    and when I try to execute a select * from ext_table, I get an error because he expects a missing field.
    How can I do? 'Say' in the table create above something alert who could miss the last field?

    Thanks in advance!

    Kindly help me, how to create the external table with the name of firms repeated in the COL1 of fixed length text file.

    Thanking you.

    One way is to create a view:

    SQL> CREATE TABLE TEST_EXT
  2  (
  3    str  VARCHAR2(4000 BYTE),
  4    RN         NUMBER
  5  )
  6  ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
  7    (  TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
  8       DEFAULT DIRECTORY TESTDIR
  9       ACCESS PARAMETERS
 10         ( RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
 11            BADFILE 'test.bad'
 12            LOGFILE 'test.log'
 13            NODISCARDFILE
 14            READSIZE 1048576
 15            FIELDS LDRTRIM
 16            REJECT ROWS WITH ALL NULL FIELDS
 17                ( str         (1:4000)     CHAR(4000),
 18                  rn recnum
 19         )                )
 20       LOCATION (TESTDIR:'test.txt')
 21    );

Table created.

SQL> create or replace view test_vu as
  2  select col1,col2,col3,col4
  3  from(
  4      select str,max(case when str like 'CUST_NAME:%' then replace(str,'CUST_NAME:') else null end) over(partition by sm) col1,
  5             regexp_substr(str,'[^   ]+') col2,regexp_substr(str,'[^ ]+',1,2) col3,regexp_substr(str,'[^     ]+',1,3) col4
  6      from(
  7          select sum(case when str like 'CUST_NAME:%' then 1 else 0  end ) over(order by rn) sm,t.*
  8          from TEST_EXT t
  9          where str like 'CUST_NAME%'
 10          or str like 'PROD_ID%'
 11          or str like 'BILL_AMOUNT%'
 12          or str like 'BILL_DATE%'
 13          or str like 'GOODS_DELIVERED%'
 14         )
 15       )
 16  where str not like 'CUST_NAME:%';

View created.
