Hello

I create an external table in oracle database 11g for the alert log file monitoring (to find the ORA errors), I used this statement to create an external table

create an external table based on local drive

Hello world
Is it possible to create an external table and that it points to a file on my local drive?
It is perhaps a silly question. I'm sorry.
Thank you
Lydiea

In addition to the response of William Robertson (which is correct), if you do not have a way to make the server access to your local disk, you can use sql loader on your local computer to load the data into an actual table.

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

Create an external table to import csv to dynamic action

Hello

I'm trying to import data from a csv file into a table. The csv is located on the server and I try to do an external table to copy its contents to the master data table.
I can't even save the code, without this error:

It works very well in the SQL Developer.

Helps to create an external table to a dashboard

I am creating a table in an external file that will receive and organize partitions from Quiz.fla when you click on the button to submit the results. I also want another fla file to reference the external table and pull 15 scores him and then view scores on a scrolling banner. I want the banner to be able update dynamically (I guess it would accomplish the reloading of the banner fla every time it reaches the end of its cycle, with the first load of the image of the outer table on an onClipEvent action), how it will update while remaining open. The main reason that I need two separate files for the quiz and the banner of the score is that they are displayed on two different monitors. What would be the most effective way to solve this problem? I know a little actionscript, but I don't have much experience with the call for data and functions from external fla or as files (table and function referring to the way in which the data will be organized inside the table will be in a file separate .as).
I currently work in AS2, since I had almost no experience with AS3.

Please mark this thread as answered, if it is closed.

Creating an external Table using Xml Dataset - how to include null values?

Is there way I can show the missing values as null?

With the help of "missing field is null values" does not work for me.

Hello

It's funny, I never thought of parsing an XML through SQL * Loader before.

Are you aware of the XML DB features? They are intended only for what you are doing here.

Also, please look at function XMLTable. It allows you to directly map your XML file in columns and relational rows.

For example, by giving an example of file "book.xml" like this:
```
 
  1
  2
  ABC
  DEF
 
 
  1
  3
  XYZ
  TTT
 
```
Then, just do:
```
SELECT *
FROM XMLTable(
 '/GL_RECS/GL_REC'
 passing xmltype( bfilename('XML_DIR','book.xml'), nls_charset_id('CHAR_CS') )
 columns
  status varchar2(50) path 'STATUS',
  ledger_id varchar2(15) path 'LEDGER_ID',
  segment1 varchar2(25) path 'SEGMENT1',
  segment2 varchar2(25) path 'SEGMENT2'
);
```

When opening up the data for examination, the records are delimited with LF, and not CRLF.  
Would this be picked up with delimiter NEWLINE, or should I use something else?

To resolve this problem, change the delimiter CHARACTERSET and reviews

ex:
saves the delimiter character > record delimiter '\n '.

Add in the parameters of access CHARACTERSET 'utf8 '.

Some of your data values seem to have a comma in the data:
```

Cultivarea legumelor si a pepenilor, a radacinoaselor si tuberculilor

I suggest that you change your data file if you can so that text fields are surrounded with double quotes.

Any ideas on that? I know I must tell oracle the date on the external file format, but I can't understand it.

Creating external Tables using the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE in PL/SQL
Hi guys,.

I am trying to create an external Table using the EXECUTE IMMEDIATE in a procedure and I managed to compile and no errors were generated. But when I try to run it from sql using the exec command I get the following error:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
ERROR on line 5:
ORA-00911: invalid character
ORA-06512: at "GEO. TEST_DDL', line 4
ORA-06512: at line 5

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

I tried to check the whole statement to create the external table, but I can't find where is the error. Surprisingly, if I simply run the command table create external on sqlplus it works, but not a procedure.

If anyone can help with ideas or experience?

Geoffrey Kossami
The error means that there is an identifier somewhere that starts with a nonalphanumeric. This is a typical mistake of editing. A procedure compiles correctly is not of course because the underlying dynamic sql running is OK. Which of course only be resolved when you try to run it.

There is certainly a problem with the text you provide to be run as a piece of dynamic sql code. You should try to watch it with dbms_output and run this code in sqlplus. But your problem is with the code you run as dynamic PL/SQL, it is not itself compilable.

Pretreatment of an external table - table is empty at the end

Hello
Oracle Database 11 g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0 - 64 bit Production
PL/SQL Release 11.2.0.1.0 - Production
"CORE 11.2.0.1.0 Production."

I'm trying to create an external table that first pre-process a file and then the bed. The problem is that, in the end, the outer table is empty even if the read file is not empty.
First, the table works gunzip on the 'employees.csv.gz' file located in/export/home/oracle/archives and then bed. The file employees.csv.gz exists in the specified location. This is the complete script:
-This Directory keeps the archived files
CREATE or REPLACE DIRECTORY arch_dir AS 'archives/export/home/oracle/archives";
-This directory shows where the command gunzip
CREATE or REPLACE the bin_dir AS DIRECTORY ' / usr/bin';
CREATE TABLE emp_exadata
(
employee_id NUMBER (22, 0),
first name VARCHAR2 (20).
last_name VARCHAR2 (25).
e-mail VARCHAR2 (25).
Phone_Number VARCHAR2 (20).
hire_date DATE,
job_id VARCHAR2 (10),
higher wages (22: 2),
commission_pct NUMBER 22 (2)
manager_id NUMBER (22, 0),
department_id NUMBER (22, 0)
)
EXTERNAL ORGANIZATION
(
TYPE oracle_loader
Arch_dir default DIRECTORY
ACCESS SETTINGS
(
RECORDS delimited BY NEWLINE
preprocessor bin_dir: "gunzip".
end fields BY «»
missing field VALUES are NULL
(
employe_id,
first name,
last_name,
E-mail
Phone_Number,
hire_date CHAR date_format DATE mask "dd-mm-yyyy hh24:mi:ss."
job_id,
salary,
commission_pct,
manager_id,
department_id
)
)
LOCATION ("employees_exp.csv.gz")
)
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
When I choose to emp_exadata the result set is empty!
SELECT * FROM emp_exadata;
no selected line
When I look at the db server in the directory /export/home/oracle/archives I see no archived file employees_exp.csv. Here is the result of the first three lines:

bash - $3.2-3 employees_exp.csv head
198, Donald, Ollivier, DOCONNEL, 650.507.9833, 21/06/2007 00:00:00, SH_CLERK, 2600, 124, 50,.
199, Douglas, grant, DGRANT, 650.507.9844, 2008-01-13 00:00:00, SH_CLERK, 2600, 124, 50,.

The end of the lines in the file line is LF (unix style). The encoding is in ANSI format.
I tried to experiment around, but cannot view records when I select in the external table. Please help me to solve it.
I also register the generated log file:
LOG file opened at 01/06/15 16:40:11

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.

Kind regards

Bob
