• Key issue of the external table preprocessor - ssh

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

  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.

• 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.

• 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;

• 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!!
  
  -gary
  
  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 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

• 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:

• Problem with the format of the external tables

  I am using the external Tables feature in Oracle.
  
  The code I am using currently to create my table is (I cut down the list of fields for clarity).

  create table EMP_EXTERNAL2
  (HIREDATE DATE )
  organization external
  ( default directory EXT_TABLES
  access parameters
  ( records delimited by newline
  fields terminated by ',')
  location ('EMP.CSV') )
  
  REJECT LIMIT 0
  ;

  But I get rejected folders when I select in the table due to the format of the HIRE date. The examples I've found suggest using a date format, change the code to:

  create table EMP_EXTERNAL2
  (HIREDATE DATE 'mm/dd/yyyy')
  organization external
  ( default directory EXT_TABLES
  access parameters
  ( records delimited by newline
  fields terminated by ',')
  location ('EMP.CSV') )
  
  REJECT LIMIT 0
  ;

  When I run this I get ORA-00907: lack the closing parenthesis. What I'm doing wrong here (I'm under the code in SQL Developer incidentally)?

  Hello

  Try this: -.

  create table EMP_EXTERNAL2
  (HIREDATE DATE )
  organization external
  ( default directory EXT_TABLES
  access parameters
  ( records delimited by newline
  fields terminated by ','
  (
  HIREDATE DATE 'MM/DD/YYYY'
  ))
  location ('EMP.CSV') )

• The external table, question of double data type

  Hello

• In the external table files forming themselves!

  Hi all

  I am facing a weird situation.

  Few days back, DB has been improved to 11g 10g R2 and we are facing the situation of the training of logfiles, throw files have joined with external tables in the directory of the OS!

  Without job is calling them and the only procedure in which these paintings have been used in the SELECT statement, are not running, even while these files form themselves and fill space in the BONE.

  Please help in this regard.

  Thank you.

  Hi all

  Problem has been identified.

  11 g, dbms_stats.gather_stats_job runs all day until 22:00 and after every 4 hours on weekends.

  He also tried gathering statistics for external tables given through the GATHER_TABLE_STATS procedure.

  In the process, he joint/written in the log files.

  Now, I think of locking statistics from this table, so that no stats will be gathered for what is just an EXTERNAL table which is used/populated only once a month.

  Suggestions or comments?

  Thank you.
