Error loading the external table

• When to load the external table condition

  
  Hello

  Is my version of db: oracle 11g

  I have a 6 gig csv file.

  I divided it several 15 MB csv files.

  But only the first csv file has header (with column headers).

  I have to load each of these files into a target table.

  I created an external table with jump 1.

  But how can I substitute jumping 1 for other csv files.

  Is there a way I can do it in the external table definition.

  I can't merge the split csv files and run as one big file. So I don't hv this option. Please advice.

  You should be able to use the LOAD WHEN clause to exclude a line based on the contents of a field. Or the other

  WHEN LOAD 1 / 2! = "ID".

  or, if the bonds are quoted,

  WHEN LOAD 1:4! = « « ID » »

  or you can always add a list of fields to your specifications and the names of the fields in the reference LOAD WHEN the condition instead of using an absolute position.

  Don't know if you saw my comments on the use of the tail command before you replied, but if the break-up of the file is part of your project of automated process, and then deleting the header row could certainly be integrated into this process if your on a unix platform and using the split command to split the file.

• Using the external table error

  Hi all

  This is the first time I use the external table for loading the data.

  I did these steps

  In the D:\sqlloade folder, I have my text file containing data example.txt

  I ran these queries

  CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY  ext_tab_data AS 'D:\sqlloader';
  
  

  Directory created

  CREATE TABLE fxops.t_ext (
  t number
  )
  ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL (
    TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
    DEFAULT DIRECTORY ext_tab_data
    ACCESS PARAMETERS (
      RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
      FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
      MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL
      (
       t number
      )
    )
    LOCATION ('sample.txt')
  )
  PARALLEL 5
  REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;
  
  

  create table

  When I tried to create a view on that table, he throws an error

  CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW fxops.t_view  AS
    SELECT *
    FROM   fxops.t_ext;
  
  SQL Error: ORA-06564: object EXT_TAB_DATA does not exist
  06564. 00000 -  "object %s does not exist"
  *Cause:    The named object could not be found.  Either it does not exist
             or you do not have permission to access it.
  *Action:   Create the object or get permission to access it.
  
  

  Sign in, and then run this:

  Select HOST_NAME from v$ instance;

  is this the same hostname that you are connected?

• Error importing CSV files with "hidden" characters using the external Table

  Hi people
  
  Bit of a strange here.
  
  Well, we are accustomed to the use of the external Table method to load data from CSV files in the database, but a recent event presented us a problem.
  
  We have received some CSV files that "look like" regular CSV files, but Oracle will not load them.
  
  When we looked at the CSV using VIM on a UNIX machine, we saw the following characters 'hidden' between each regular character in the file.

  ^@

  If a string that looks like this when opened in Excel/Wordpad etc.

  "TEST","TEXT"

  Looks like this when exmained with VIM

  ^@"^@T^@E^@S^@T^@"^@,^@"^@T^@E^@X^@T^@"

  Has anyone encountered this before?
  
  Thank you very much
  
  Simon Gadd
  Oracle 11g 11.2.0.1.0

  Hi Simon,.

  ^ @ represents the ZERO character (0x00).
  So, most likely, you have a file encoded in Unicode.

  You need to specify the character set in the record specification (and if necessary the byte order mark), for example:

  CREATE TABLE ext_table
  (
    col1 VARCHAR2(10),
    col2 VARCHAR2(10)
  )
  ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
  (
    TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
    DEFAULT DIRECTORY dump_dir
    ACCESS PARAMETERS
    (
     RECORDS DELIMITED BY '
  ' CHARACTERSET 'UTF16'
    FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
    )
    LOCATION ('dump.csv')
  )
  REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;

• jump the last record loading using external table

  Hi gentlemen,
  
  I have a requirement to load data from text file of oracle database by using the external table. I need to remove the header records and complementary.
  
  I can use the skip option to remove the header, IE front-line.
  
  Is it possible to remove the additional record (IE last line) using the external table.

• 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.

• Key issue of the external table preprocessor - ssh

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

  DFH.sh more

  / bin/df h

  CREATE TABLE XT_df

  (

  SCRIPT_OUTPUT VARCHAR2 (2000)

  )

  EXTERNAL ORGANIZATION

  (TYPE ORACLE_LOADER

  Datapumpdir default DIRECTORY

  ACCESS SETTINGS

  (RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE

  PREPROCESSOR datapumpdir: 'dfh.sh'

  jump 1

  FIELDS TERMINATED BY ', '.

  surrounded of possibly "" "

  )

  LOCATION (datapumpdir: 'xtdf.dat')

  )

  Select * from XT_df

  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.

  [Error] Run (1: 1): ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEFETCH legend

  ORA-29400: data cartridge error

  KUP-04095: order of preprocessor /winlogs/dfh.sh has detected the error "host key verification failed.

  "

  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).

  > Datapumpdir: 'dfh.sh PREPROCESSOR'

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

  env | Tri o /tmp/capture.env

  view the contents of /tmp/capture.env return here after it gets filled

• Direct load in external tables

  Can we use direct load in external tables? or set DIRECTLY in the external table script?
  
  Thank you.

  Thank you.

  N ° why? Because an external table does not load data. It's more like a pointer and an instruction how to read a file.

  The big difference between SQL Loader and an external table, SQL Loader is actually two things.

  (a) it reads a file from the file system
  (b) it inserts these values into a table in the database.

  An external table only one).

  However, you can do a quick insertion of this external table in an actual database table so that is sought.

  insert /*+append */ into myRealTable (colA, ColB, colC)
  select  * from myExternalTable
  

  Append it and perhaps also the parallel indication will be close to a direct path insert.

• Add 'jump 1' to the definition of the external table after...?

  I created several external new definitions from file table definitions, but when the 'production' files have been created have now a header row at the top which should be ignored for not to be taken as data.
  
  Is there a way to "Edit" the file or definition the definition of the external table to add the mention "jump 1' without having to recreate the definition file to re-import the file and then recreate the external table?
  
  I remember there is a place in the file import process that asks the number of lines to skip.
  
  Thank you very much!!

  P.S. This is indeed an OWB 10.1.0.4 environment but I guess he would hold even to 11g as well. :-)

  Hi Gary,.
  It seems OWB10g R1 does not setting property to jump (for the creation of the external table or SQL * Loader control file).

  But for OWB10g R2 and later it is possible:
  (1) in the Properties window of the file on the general tab, change "number of lines to skip.
  (2) synchronize the corresponding external table and deploy

• the external tables LKM: order of columns of evil?

  I experience unexpected behavior with an external table Oracle LKM.
  
  The table $ CAN (external) that is created has the columns in the right order. I know they are correct in the model. Because the external table is not defined in law, the IKM does not load anything.
  
  This is the beginning of the create table script:
  
  create the table ETL_USER. C$ _0SCSW_SOM_NBME
  (
  C1_SCHOOL_ID VARCHAR2 (6).
  C2_TEST_DATE VARCHAR2 (10),
  C3_SCORE NUMBER 4,

  C6_EXAM VARCHAR2 (50).
  C5_ID VARCHAR2 (9).
  C4_EXAMINEE VARCHAR2 (50)
