HI,
I think it's the fact that your data is longer than the column definition
you've given for the external table.

Thank you Viswa, Amit
I have created the external table, now the problem comes when I have to
select data from it. I get an ORA-01401.
It looks like the datatypes are different from those I specified on the
external table. DO you have any idea why this could be the case?
This is the structure of my external table:
create table pauline.xternal_tester
( JAN VARCHAR2(4 BYTE),
FEB VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
MAR VARCHAR2(8 BYTE)
)
organization external
( default directory xternal_data_dir
access parameters
( records delimited by newline
fields terminated by ','
)
location ('tester.csv')
)
reject limit unlimited;
This is the output of the LOG:
Field Definitions for table XTERNAL_TESTER
Record format DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
Data in file has same endianness as the platform
Rows with all null fields are accepted
Fields in Data Source:
JAN CHAR (255)
Terminated by ","
Trim whitespace same as SQL Loader
FEB CHAR (255)
Terminated by ","
Trim whitespace same as SQL Loader
MAR CHAR (255)
Terminated by ","
Trim whitespace same as SQL Loader
.
.
error processing column JAN in row 1 for datafile c:\temp\tester.csv
ORA-01401: inserted value too large for column

Pauline,
You can use external Tables to read the data from the Falt files after
they are FTpd to the required directory. Design a procedure that reads
the data from the external table and loads the data into required
tables similat 'insert into select from' and your validations. You can
schedule the execution of SP based on what time you have your feed
coming into.
Regards,
Viswa

Hi All,
Please assist if you can, or point me to the right direction. Any
documents will be appreciated. We are currently running Oracle 9i on a
Windows server 2003. I need to upload data from an excel spreadsheet (a
flat file that is being ftp'd onto the server from a remote SQL server
database) onto the oracle db table. A process has been put in place and
is working fine. I do get all the data into my database (oracle). Now
the challenge is automating the process such that once the FTP is
complete, our process is triggered and the upload done.
Your assistance will be appreciated as I have run out of ideas.
Regards,
Pauline (A junior dba)
