Loading external Table with quotes

I have a file with fields in the file are as TAB delimiter ~ TAB.

Example as below:

QM ~ CD ~ Exzm ~ BMW

DM ~ BD ~ Exzm ~ BMW

CREATE TABLE test

(

Col_1 VARCHAR2 (100),

Col_2 VARCHAR2 (100),

Col_3 VARCHAR2 (100),

Col_4 VARCHAR2 (100)

)

EXTERNAL ORGANIZATION

(TYPE ORACLE_LOADER

DEFAULT DIRECTORY 'Test_Report '.

ACCESS SETTINGS

(records delimited by '\n'

CHARACTERSET 'UTF8 '.

fields terminated by '\t~\t '.

missing field values are null

)

LOCATION ("test.asc")

)

REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;

OUTPUT:

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

Data loaded in DB, but col_4 data comes from the quotation as below

col_4

-------

"BMW".

"BMW".

Note: Col1 - col3 data arrives correctly.

A finding on my side.

I found that the values of Col_4 after inserting into DB with "transport return character" (CHR (13)) at the end of each value as shown below when I copy paste the value in notepad ++ "»

Example:

----------

"BMW".

"

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 '.

  • 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 Ann,.

    Can you please help me by telling me the steps to achieve this.

    Right-click on the external table in the project tree, from the menu choose Configure.
    then open right clock the node data files dialog Configuration properties and choose from the menu - Create
    you will get a new record for the file - name of file data property

  • 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 with the empty file

    Hello

    My version of db: Oracle 11 g

    I have a csv file that is empty.

    I created an external table the empty csv file.

    When I run:

    Select count (*) in the externaltblname;

    It returns 1.

    It should return 0 to the right.

    In the definition, I specified "SKIP 1.

    But he always returns 1.

    When I use this external table to load into a table target. It loads a single row with null values.

    How to solve this problem. Please advice.

    What works for me is the following (t_ext points to a blank csv):

    SQL > select count (field) in the t_ext;

    COUNT (FIELD)

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

    1

    1 selected line.

    SQL > select ascii (field) in the t_ext;

    ASCII (FIELD)

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

    13

    1 selected line.

    SQL > select count (replace (field, chr (13))) of t_ext;

    COUNT (REPLACE (FIELD, CHR (13)))

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

    0

    1 selected line.

  • External table with mixed columns

    Hello everyone. We use Oracle 11R1. We have an external table pointing to a CSV with 7 columns inside. The file has always column 7 but the column order differs from time to time. Each column has a header that remains consistent. Is there a way to map the column names to the column header, s so that we did not change the definition of the external table every time a new file is available in?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    As John said, you must assign names of columns when the table is created.  I guess you could have a dynamic SQL solution that reads the header you mentioned, uses this information to write a CREATE table, drop the table, and then recreated with the new order of the columns.

    You may have a view that maps the 7 columns in your table of 7 columns in the view.  Which column gets the mapping to that may depend on the header.

  • Error when calling a procedure using an external table with c#.

    Hello

    I'm developing an application scheduler with Visual Studio 2010 (c#) to start my PL/SQL procedures.

    I can't understand why it works when I run it with Toad and why I get this error when launching of it with c#... Any advice would be great!

    The error led to think that a string to number conversion fails all by accessing the external table.

    What is the format of numeric fields in the external file?

    I'm guessing that your session NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS setting is defined differently whether you're in your application c# or toad.

    Could check you on both?

  • Loading external png with transparency

    Hello

    Im trying to create a system of navigation with a few buttons as3.0.

    Each button is a png image.

    When the import of images to the stage im I don't have problems of transparency, but the problem is that they are enough, not smooth not especially

    because im animating the using TweenLite.

    I thought that the only way to do this correctly is to load all images using as3 in bitmap objects and then use the smoothing property.

    The problem is that whenever I attribute the png to a bitmap object, I lose the transparency of information and get a white background...

    Anyone know how I can keep transparency information of png on the bitmap object?

    Thank you

    Here is a little code that loads a PNG with transparency, it softens and placed on stage.

    var a: Loader = new Loader();
    a.Load (new URLRequest ("spider.png"));
    a.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener (Event.COMPLETE, done);

    Use a regular statement. There is no reason to DDL like that with a callable statement.

  • 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.
