field of varchar2 external table storing only 255 bytes (4000 bytes)

Hi all

I was wondering if someone can tell me what im missing here.
I have an external table with one column defined as varchar2 (4000 byte). the file contains a line with 255 characters (all the number 2 for simplicity). When I query the table, everything is fine. If I add 1 plus 2 chain (256 characters) it fails. im sure its something stupidly simple, but what am I missing? If he doesn't have to question fine up to 4000 characters?

Thank you
Dave

I ran your testcase, thanks for that.
Make sure you read the SQL and PL/SQL FAQ as well (the first thread sticky on this forum), he explains how to post the code formatted and many other things.

In any case, the .log file gave me:

LOG file opened at 07/18/11 20:05:33

Field Definitions for table DAVEP2
  Record format DELIMITED, delimited by 0A
  Data in file has same endianness as the platform
  Rows with all null fields are accepted

  Fields in Data Source: 

    MY_STRING                       CHAR (255)
      Terminated by ","
      Enclosed by """ and """
      Trim whitespace same as SQL Loader

So, what happens if you create the table as follows:

 CREATE TABLE davep2 (
   my_string         VARCHAR2(4000 BYTE)         NULL
 )
 ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
   (  TYPE ORACLE_LOADER

  FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' optionally enclosed by '"' and '"'
  missing field values are null
   (
           my_string char(4000)
           ) )
      LOCATION (FILE_TEST:'DaveP.csv')) REJECT LIMIT 0 NOPARALLEL

  • 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 Oracle via the Tables API

    Hello world

    I did experiment with the Oracle NoSQL database recently and I became a bit stuck with the new API of Tables. I have so far successfully of the external tables on the data entered using storage techniques 'vanilla' KV and avro (using generic and specific links) scheme, but create API Tables seems to be another matter entirely.

    My question arises in the trainer interface, which has a KeyValueVersion and a KVStore. I can't translate a KeyValueVersion created with the API of Tables in a primary key for recovery (since I don't know what the key generated by the API actually looks like to!) or map it on an avro scheme. The problem seems to be that the Tables API writes data in some format that can be easily translated into a string or an integer (releases from external table lines due to unknown characters if I am trying to retrieve all the values in the database to see what it looks like to), and try to map it to an AVRO map results in the error message 'the data are not as AVRO'.

    Scenario:

    I created a very simple table in the administration tool KV, which consists of a column personId (integer) that is PK, firstName, lastName, emailAddr (all channels) and enter 5 rows with success. What I want to do is to create an external table called person that returns just those 5 values (and brand new I add to the table of course). This means that I have to first understand what the parentKey value must be defined in the .dat file and how to take this key and it becomes a primary key for the recovery of the line.

    Faithful old Google could not find information on how to do this (he was only a thread similar to this with the answer "we'll add it soon"), so I hope that someone here managed to do!

    Thank you

    Hi Richard

    I understand the issue you are facing. In the current version (12.1.3.0.9) the external tables feature only works with records of K/V not with the Table model, however, in the next version (which us will very soon be GA) we will support integration of external tables with the data of Table model as well. Please make sure that you have signed up for the announcement of release so that we can inform you of the release. I apologize for the inconvenience, he did to you.

  • How to select the csv data stored in a BLOB column as if it were an external table?

    Hi all

    (Happy to be back after a while! )

    Currently I am working on a site where users should be able to load the data of csv (comma is the separator) of their client machines (APEX 3.2 application) in the Oracle 11.2.0.4.0 EE database.

    My problem is:

    I can't use an external table (for the first time in my life ) so I'm a little clueless what to do as the csv data is stored by the application of the APEX in a BLOB column, and I'm looking for an elegant way (at least SQL PL/SQL/maximization) to insert the data into the destination table (run validations by a MERGER would be the most effective way to do the job).

    I found a few examples, but I think they are too heavy and there could be a more elegant way in Oracle DB 11.2.

    Simple unit test:

    drop table CBC purge;

    drop table dst serving;

    create table src

    (myblob blob

    );

    create table dst

    (num number

    , varchar2 (6) str

    );

    Insert in src

    Select utl_raw.cast_to_raw (1; AAAAAA ;'|| Chr (10) |

    2; BATH; »

    )

    Double;

    Desired (of course) output based on the data in table SRC:

    SQL > select * DST;

    NUM STR

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

    1 ABDELKRIM

    2 BATH

    Does anybody know a solution for this?

    Any ideas/pointers/links/examples are welcome!

    / * WARNING: I was 'off' for about 3 months, then the Oracle - the part of my brain has become a bit "rusty and I feel it should not be so complicated as the examples I've found sofar ' * /"

    Haha, wonder about regexp is like the blind leading the blind!

    However, it's my mistake: I forgot to put the starting position setting (so 1, 2, 3,... was in fact the starting position, not the nth occurrence. duh!)

    So, it should actually be:

    select x.*
,      regexp_substr(x.col1, '[^;]+', 1, 1)
,      regexp_substr(x.col1, '[^;]+', 1, 2)
,      regexp_substr(x.col1, '[^;]+', 1, 3)
,      regexp_substr(x.col1, '[^;]+', 1, 4)
,      regexp_substr(x.col1, '[^;]+', 1, 5)
,      regexp_substr(x.col1, '[^;]+', 1, 6)
from  src
,      xmltable('/a/b'
              passing xmltype(''||replace(conv_to_clob(src.myblob), chr(10), '')||'')
              columns
                col1 varchar2(100) path '.') x;

    Note: that's assuming that all the "columns" passed in the string won't be lame.

    If one of them might be null, then:

    select x.*
,      regexp_substr(ltrim(x.col1, ';'), '[^;]+', 1, 1)
,      regexp_substr(ltrim(x.col1, ';'), '[^;]+', 1, 2)
,      regexp_substr(ltrim(x.col1, ';'), '[^;]+', 1, 3)
,      regexp_substr(ltrim(x.col1, ';'), '[^;]+', 1, 4)
,      regexp_substr(ltrim(x.col1, ';'), '[^;]+', 1, 5)
,      regexp_substr(ltrim(x.col1, ';'), '[^;]+', 1, 6)
from   src
,      xmltable('/a/b'
              passing xmltype(replace(';'||replace(conv_to_clob(src.myblob), chr(10), ';')||'', ';;', '; ;'))

  • Battle of external table: files that contain only a picture

    Hello

    Does anyone know if this is possible: use an external table to load files that each contain only one photo (photo) in a BLOB column?

    So: just a photo, not other columns and not many lines.

    I tried, in the sense of this article: ORACLE-DATABASE external Tables containing LOB -

    I'm starting to believe it is not possible due to the "delimited records by ' and 'fields terminated by' clauses, which are not really applicable given files (just a picture), but maybe (hopefully), I'm wrong.

    Any pointer is more than welcome!

  • External table: ORA-029913 only through connection allias TNS

    Hello world

    I have a problem on an Oracle 11.2.0.3 database. They have an external table MYTABLE that points to an Oracle MYDIR directory. This directory is a text file MyFile.txt, read by the external table.

    If I connect to the database using "sqlplus user/pass" directly from the DB server, the statement 'select count (*) from' myTable works very well.

    If I connect using a LMO allias "sqlplus user/pass@DB", the statement is wrong:

    SQL> select count (*) from MYTABLE;
select count (*) from MYTABLE
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04040: file myfile.txt in MYDIR not found

    The user application oracle has READ and write on the Oracle MYDIR directory.

    The OS 'oracle' user permissions to write to the directory of the OS.

    The problem occurs with the application user, but also with sys and system.

    You have an idea? What could make the statement works in direct relation and fail to remote access?

    Thanks for your help.

    Michael

    I finally found the solution! The oracle user has been recently added to the group. The database was relaunched after this change, but the listener has only been reloaded. All processes spawned by the receiver have been opened with privileges evil and that's why my local connections can get access to the file system and not open remote session.

    THW following note has helped me find the solution: ORA-29283 "Operation file not valid" with OS group and Oracle user is a member (Doc ID 832424.1).

    The note is only on the basis of data Oracle itself, but I tried to restart the receiver and it solved my problem.

  • the external table DDL contains the owbunuseX in the list of fields

    Hello, we have defined an external table in design OWB11.1 Center, and we have defined columns such as "Field1, Field2,... field50', but when it was generated, we found owbunused0, owbunuse1... in the field of access settings list." Why the domain name is not same as the column in the external table name? Thank you.

    Hi Gary

    OK, now I see. For a table outside right click on it in the Designer tree and click the option synchronize, you will then get a dialog box to sync and when you regenerate you should be good to go.

    As other objects external Table may be related to another object, the file (in this case). So that you can make the external table if you change the file (in the same way with the mapping, when you modify a table, you can synchronize the table in and out of the mapping).

    See you soon

  • update of a field for a number of forms of an external table

    Good day all.

    This one I could not find in the help section.

    I designed a number of forms that use the same "rate of pay" (there are 4 categories) for the calculation. I was told to expect that it will take more than a few forms and these new forms will also use the same "rate of pay".

    Currently I use 'switch' to insert the "rate of pay" when the user selects a category from a dropdown list.

    Is there a way I can update all forms of external 'table' instead of having to update each form individually?

    Thank you all

    Chomp

    Hello

    If the form is compatible with Acrobat Reader, which will then cut the data connect.

    You should take a look at the blog of John Brinkman: http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2010/07/shared_data_in_packages_part_2.html. Two pieces.

  • Need to change column Datatype on external Table

    Hi - I need to change a data type of column on an external table and I have a few questions.

    1. I've read that I can do a regular alter table change column statement, but I also see in the script behind the external table, the following instructions:
     FIELDS  MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL(
        claim_number           POSITION(1-12)   INTEGER EXTERNAL(12),
        receipt_date           POSITION(13-8)   INTEGER EXTERNAL(8),
........
    When I run the statement column change he does not alter the column but does nothing in this clause. Is it possible to update this info as well?

    I wonder also (currently working at dev with a specification of invalid directory - soon to solve) - will I encounter a problem if I try to edit my article, if a file is located in the related directory? I ask because I know that to change the data type of the existing column in a table standard you must first set this null column, so I wonder how this rul applies when it is an external table.

    Thank you!
    Christine

    An external table does not store any data. The external file that contains data is only available at query time. You can remove the outer table and re-create it to change both the data type of the column in the table and the type of data in the file. using the statement ALTER TABLE... Type MODIFY instruction, you can modify the data of table column. You can also change the definition of the external table if the file is stored in the direcory and ready to be read through the external table.

    In an ordinary table, you can decrease the length of the column if the column is no longer, then the new column length:

    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

  • 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,

    -/ / creating a csv file

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

    immediately run v_ext_table;

    It gives me a generic mistake on the front-end server. But, when I take this external Table as well as the "v_temp_filename", that it is created, but when the SELECTION is fired triggers error:

    ORA-29400: data cartridge error

    KUP-00554: error occurred when parsing the access settings

    KUP-01008: the bad ID was: varchar2

    KUP-01007: in column 15 of line 6

    Privilege is already provided - GRANT READ, WRITE on APEX_DIR to APEX_DEV;

    But you should check with DBA on the rwx for the generated 'v_temp_filename' permission.

    Pointers?

  • How do I get the number of incorrect records when you use external tables

    Hi all, I have an external table DEPT,.

    DEPT. DAT

    20. ELECTRONICS

    10. SHOES

    30. CAMERA

    Select * from the Department; only 10 and 30 dept will be led as deptdescr for 20 that there are more than 10 in length so this record will go into the wrong file,

    y at - it count any query to display the folder or get any query to get the record to view the entries entries wrong file rather that will drop and see how much is rejected.
