How create the CSV file delimited by tabs using ORACLE utl_file?

How create the CSV file delimited by tabs using ORACLE utl_file? Please provide the code sampl.

This isn't a problem with Oracle, it is a problem with the way you open the data in Microsoft Excel.

In Excel, you want (depending on your version may vary slightly)...

Office 2010...

1. go in the Ribbon "Data".

2. click on 'text '.

3. Locate and select your file, and then click "import."

4 step 1 of the wizard - choose "Delimited", then click on "next >".

5. step 2 of the wizard - choose "Tab" as the delimiter and click on "next >".

6. step 3 of the wizard - define types of column as needed (if necessary) and click on "Finish".

7. check where you want the data in the worksheet.

Data is loading now in single cells as you expect.

If you just double-click the CSV, Excel is apparently assuming that it will be separated by commas and does not recognize tabs as separators, unlike when you rename the file with a .xls extension where it examines the file, complains that it is not a content .xls and asks you to confirm that you want to continue loading and then intelligently recognizes the tabs and the format for you.

As I said, not a problem with Oracle, just a problem with the MS Excel software.

  • How to import data from CSV file in a table using oracle forms

    Hello

    I have a CSV file and I want to insert in the oracle database in a table by using a button under forms of oracle.
    the user can select the CSV file by using the open dialog box.
    can someone help me find the method to import and select the client machine file?

    THX.

    You want to import the contents of the file or the file itself? I assume that you want to import the contents of the file. For this, there are really only two options to make an Excel (.csv) file and import into shapes; WebUtil or a JavaBean. Some examples of both:
    WebUtil: How to read an Excel file in a form of Oracle
    Oracle is CJP/BEAN - project Excel

    Try them both and see which works best for you.

  • Use OdiOutFile to create the csv file

    Hello
    I am trying to write a csv file by using the file ODIOutFile.The is created with success, but all EI tags column coming in one line.
    I need to write different columns given different columns in csv. Kindly guide me which character I include as up to meet my requirement.

    Thank you
    Ritika

    Ritika, as mentioned in the email, this error occurs because you did not mention something in the command on the source, in the jython code, we allocate the technology and the schema required so that we must manually provide all the required parameters and ODI can pick up from the root.

    Also once you mentioned are, of course, call you this code after you odisqlunload else you don't have the header, since odisqlunload erases the file and write. Hope that this help please let me know if you have still problems with the program and also showed me a sample of the program odisqunload and header as well as the results, only a few responses back.

  • Write array of strings in the text file delimited by tabs without Report Generation Toolkit

    I find that writing in the File.vi worksheet does not Append REAL mode.  http://digital.NI.com/public.nsf/allkb/D1629D863F0442CC86256A0200558A15

    That url describes a workaround solution is to first create a file in Excel, save and then writing adds to it.  This is something that users of my compiled application will simply not do.

    Writing File.vi measure generates tab limited text files but only takes some input signals.

    I would take my array of strings and simply write that in a limited file tab.  Is there really no way to go in LabVIEW without spending $500 one another?


  • How to write the char value as it is in the CSV file

    Hello world

    I create a csv files containing details of the inventory of all products. I am able to create the CSV file utl concepts. My problem starts after the csv file is being created.
    some of the product numbers (although I mean the product number, it is varchar2 data type in the table) is like this 3rd-12, 3rd-54 and so on. I have totally 23 numbers of product like this.
    When the user opens the csv file, it evolves to numbers like this 3.00E - 12, 3.00E - 54. I want to keep the product number because it is like the char value. I tried many methods of submissions and concat.
    But none of them works for me.

    I use oracle 9i.

    Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.7.0 - Production
    With partitioning, OLAP and Oracle Data Mining options
    Release 9.2.0.7.0 - Production jserver

    Please help me solve this problem.

    This is because in Excel, the default format for all cells is "Général" and this format is this:
    >
    Format 'Général' Converts numeric values to numbers, values from date to date, and all remaining values to text.
    >
    If you open a file with CSV extension, then each cell uses the format "General".

    You have two choices, and two of them will require the user to go through the text import wizard dialog boxes.

    Save the file with another extension, for example "txt". Then when a user opens the file they will have to select "Delimited" for the file type in step 1 of the wizard and select "next". They will then choose "Comma" as the separator at step 2 of the wizard and select "next". They must then select 'Text' to the data format column in step 3 of the wizard for these two columns, and then select "Finish".

    The other 'Data-> external data' option in the menu and involves the same selections in the wizard.

    You can chat with your users the ability to use a standard for these two columns prefix so that they will be treated as text. If you use "-" as a prefix data will display correctly.

  • Orchestrator 5.1 REPORT-all the virtual machines in the data center and create a CSV file

    Hello

    What I basically want to do is create a report CSV of all virtual machines in the data center with various information (VMname, domain name FULL, IPaddress, status, data warehouses, tools etc...).  The export list in the client feature is insufficient (especially for any KPI report).

    Problem: (workflow is still under construction so real email send does not not and need to clean the code)

    I am stuck at the part of the creation of a table that can be parsed correctly in the CSV file.  2 ways I've tried will produce a report of single object or combine all of the table into a single string (where I am now).  I think the main problem I have is that I have to create a 2D within my service to push toward the final table that is written to the CSV format.  Basically, I do not understand how to push my variables in a loop of a table.

    Any help or assistance?

    Thank you

    BOOM!

    Added some comments, removed the hardcoded in the csv temp file, deleted path the hardcoded port 25 for SMTP - mail settings should come from the configuration of the MAIL plug-in. And fixed / confirmed that the workflow now includes the attachment for e-mail and ends with success!

  • ADF: How to manage the value zero when downloading the csv file

    Dear all,

    I'm new in the ADF and use 12.2.1. I am downloading of data in the database using af table: inputfile and CSVParser class. Data download correctly in the database where all columns are met, but whenever the csv file has value null (empty) in his column, then CSVParser class does not recognize it and get the next value of columns and assign the previous column. I also tried another one that uses a different class to download date but not get success.

    For Ex:

    ID name Dept

    1 abc Dept1

    2 cde Dept2

    3 Dept3

    In example above two first line are perfectly inserted in the table while the third line Id goes to ID column, due to the value of the column name is null class CSVParser does not recognize it and put Dept3 in the name column.

    Please help how to handle this.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Like2Flex,

    The problem is that coldfusion does not see

    list = "a, b, c, d.

    as a list of 9 things you expect. He just sees 4 elements a, b, c and d because Coldfusion does not include two delimiters next to each other.

    A solution to the problem is to manually insert a space between two delimiters that are side by side. Here is an example of such a solution

    Hi all

    can anyone help on this please.

    This article is 6 years old.

    You should study the solutions that are available for APEX 4.2: data loader or the 'Excel2Collection' plugin (which also manages the CSV files).

    Data Loader

    It is a wizard that generates an Assistant for your application.

    Excel2Collection

    You will use the Excel2Collection (in a single process) to convert the BLOB in a Collection

    Then, in a 2nd address), you just do a "INSERT...". SELECT statement.  Add ' where seq_id > 1 "for files with a header.

    MK

    PS - Use the "EXECUTE IMMEDIATE" article is not necessary.
