UTL_FILE. PUTF limits?

Hi all

I use a 10g r2 database and I'm trying out quite a large amount of data in a txt file with utl_file as opposed to the queue.

I read that in 9i line limit was increased to 32 k, I don't know what it is in real terms.

I have a procedure as follows.

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE SP00UTLFILETEST
(p_filedir IN VARCHAR2, p_filename IN VARCHAR2, in_value in NUMBERS)

IS
v_filehandle utl_file.file_type;

CURSOR c_cur IS
SELECT
...... 500 previous columns
NVL(col_n,0) AS col_n,
NVL(col_n,0) AS col_n
Of
Table
WHERE the point = in_value;

BEGIN

v_filehandle: = utl_file.fopen (p_filedir, p_filename, 'w');

FOR r_cur IN c_cur LOOP

UTL_FILE.PUTF (v_filehandle,
...... 500 previous columns
r_cur.col_n |'| ' |
r_cur.col_n);

END LOOP;

UTL_FILE.fclose (v_filehandle);

EXCEPTION
WHEN UTL_FILE. WRITE_ERROR THEN

DBMS_OUTPUT. PUT_LINE ("WRITE ERROR HAS OCCURRED");

END;

Could someone tell me if its purely coz I'm writing columns data both of which is the origin of the problem or is there a way around it.

I am struggling to find an answer on the web I can find lots of instructions on how to do this method, but not big thing on its limits.

Thanks in advance

Real 32K is 32,767 characters (1 character short 32 K actually). It is the limit of type VARCHAR2 in PL/SQL.

If you are 500 columns were all single characters, so it would be nice, but if you're greater than 32,767 characters when you concatenate them together then you will experience problems.

If you exceed 32,767 characters without newlines in there, you have to open the file in binary mode "wb" and copy the data using PUT_RAW instead, having firstly convert your text to a BLOB representation.

It is not usual for people to write lines in a file that are > 32 K, but if it's a pure raw character data, then, you'd better treat as a BLOB and using the PUT_RAW method.

Problem with the UTL_File
Hello friends,

I use UTL_FILE for reporting, but when I used the SQL query in the procedure, then it shows the 740 records
and when I run the query individually (query that is used in the cursor) then it shows 790 records that is correct.

Is that utl_file has some limitations of memory will only process more than 700 files.

Did you close the file once you get out of the loop, otherwise the pads cannot be emptied and some records cannot be written.

How to remove the last line of Utl_file

UTL_FILE adds always new line at the end of the file if you use text mode. You must use the byte mode:

Declare

Lfilehandler Utl_File.File_Type;

Lfilepath varchar2 (100);

Varchar2 (100) Lfilename: = "TESTFATCAFILEGEN.txt";

Lhead VARCHAR2 (2000);

Begin

Dbms_output.put_line (' started read directories ");

SELECT Filepath

IN Lfilepath

OF Interfacefileformathdrtbl

WHERE Interfaceid = "FATCAPREXTFEED";

Dbms_output.put_line ('found directory');

Lhead: = ' this is a test generated file to test if the generation of the file that is happening or not. "

Lfilehandler: = Utl_File.Fopen (Lfilepath, Lfilename, 'WB');

Utl_File.Put_RAW (Lfilehandler, UTL_RAW. CAST_TO_RAW (Lhead));

Utl_File.fclose (Lfilehandler);

Dbms_output.put_line ('generation of the file is complete");

exception

While others then

With a minor correction, it works on Unix/putty:

-I assume that you have already created the DIRECTORY (line 01); my directory is on Unix "/ tmp"-you can use on Windows

CREATE the DIRECTORY DEST_DIR AS 'C:\Users\Julaayi\Desktop\ ';

-You run SELECT in a variable (ctlCode) and output then the content of this variable in your file.

-If you have multiple records in the ETL_CTL table, and then use a FOR LOOP.

Select output to CSV file
Can someone advise the best solution please

I am trying to create a CSV file from the output of a SELECT statement in the ApEx as a PL/SQL block. I first thought the simplest approach would be to use the REEL, and then run the SELECT startment but I think it's a SQLPlus command and cannot be used in PL/SQL.

I tried to use the ' UTL_FILE. PUT ' command that works for a single record, but I don't know how to implement this when SELECT returns more than one record.

I ask anyone to provide any procedure samp who gets runs and needs to store the result set in an excel sheet.

Any help really appreciated

Thanks in advance
It depends on the client application, you create. If you build your application with Oracle Forms, you will need something like TEXT_IO (or whatever variant WEB_UTIL is called). If you use Application Express, you need something else (the best to ask on the forum of the ApEx). If you use .NET... Well, you get the idea... it depends.

The UTL_FILE. FOPEN function takes an optional fourth argument, the size of the line. You can specify that in order to line up to 32 k size.

How to check if utl_file was used in the database with the n ° / limited audit
How can you check the database to see if any user has used the UTL_FILE pacakge?

Thank you
Another angle based priv study's directory objects. Read and write access to a directory object is necessary so UTL_FILE work. If some patterns have a write access to the directory objects, can create files.

A schema that has the priv to create any directory has full access to create any necessary directory object.

This, along with the methods suggested above, will restrict just what patterns have code and the privs required to use UTL_FILE successfully.

If the code has been dynamic PL/SQL (an anonymous block), then who does identify actual code executed UTL_FILE, very difficult.

Check if you have OS level write permision to user oracle to write to the directory of the OS.

Also simplyfy your code like this. Do not use EXCEPTION SO than OTHERS the way that you used. His incorrect answer. You don't need in the first place. Remove it.
```
create or replace procedure call_rcdr_rptis        v_file utl_file.file_type; begin         v_file := utl_file.fopen('UPLOAD_FILE','call_details_report.txt','w');
        utl_file.put_line(v_file,'report generated on: '|| sysdate);        utl_file.new_line(v_file);        utl_file.put_line(v_file, 'dt,descr_id,descr,uu,mou,rev,call_cnt');        utl_file.put_line(v_file, rpad('=', 98, '='));
        for v_rpt_rcd in         (                select dt                    , descr_id                    , descr                    , unq_usr                    , mou                    , rev                    , call_cnt                   from tab_call_rcdr_report_daily        )        loop            utl_file.put_line            (                v_file              , to_char(v_rpt_rcd.dt)      ||','||                 to_char(v_rpt_rcd.descr_id) ||','||                 to_char(v_rpt_rcd.descr)    ||','||                 to_char(v_rpt_rcd.unq_usr)  ||','||                 to_char(v_rpt_rcd.mou)      ||','||                 to_char(v_rpt_rcd.rev)      ||','||                 to_char(v_rpt_rcd.call_cnt)            );        end loop;

UTL_FILE directory server side
Hi all

Maybe the expert developers can help me?

DB = 11.2.0.3

Is there a way the dir utl_file in mobile customer output folder? Given that the server side is in the CLOUDS, and for safety reasons users are not allowed to access the cloud servers.

Someone advised to use a 'java stored proc? Have you heard of it? It seems, it is the industry standard and is the solution used by the developers of EBS Suite products.

Any ideas?

Thank you very much

It is because of the limitation of PL/SQL, only not to be able to write to the client folder? or am I lost?

The database server can not literally see your desktop. This has nothing to do with PL/SQL, it's to do with network and security protocols. The client connects to the server, not the other way around.

Java in the database has the same restriction. It's just that your site, someone has hit up a JSP page that uses a low level such as FTP protocol to work around this problem. They could have done the same thing with PL/SQL, but has not wanted (or didn't know they can), or more likely they just re-designed an existing piece of code Java.

UTL_FILE for another server, how
Hello
Anyway is it easy to write with utl_file Oracle MS file on another server? I rea on some Java applets for that but maybe there is something try that. I have no html, xls, xml, or whatever it is a txt file flat simply with a formatting, kind of report.

I'm just learning that utl_file can write on the database server, not the client. In my case I have to create the file and send it as a result of customer and looks all DBAS don't like make files on the server of the Ora, this is common?

DBMS_FILE_TRANSFER for the Oracle server to the Oracle server copies files.

Between an Oracle server and a non-Oracle server, there are two methods:
-ftp
sftp/scp
-Samba (Windows network drive/CIFS mappimg)
-NFS (network file share)
-rdist (cable - sync'ing a directory of remote server to reflect a local)

The "+ best +" one of them would be sftp/scp because it is one of the most secure interfaces. Rdist can be run using the scp.

I'm just learning that utl_file can write on the database server, not the client.

Fix. And that's the word limitation UTL_FILE . All the entries of file on any platform is possible only for local file handles. There is a way to write to a remote file not magically... Consider the standard appeal fopen() taken I/O supported by the majority of the nuclei.

Stupidity of your DBA IMO.

We stock a large number of text files (output of command line of devices containing configuration data), the CSV files and XML as CLOB files in Oracle. We generate also "files" as a CLOB in Oracle - using the database in the main storage for these 'files '. Delivery of these 'files' (stored as a CLOB) are usually via http (via WPG_DOCLOAD) or via ftp/sftp/scp (using custom PL/SQL packages).

UTL_FILE. PUTF limits?
