Join them; it only takes a minute: oracle create directory Sign up Oracle external table with dba's directory up vote 1 down vote favorite I wanted to create an external table, but did not have the CREATE ANY DIRECTORY permission (and could not have it granted). Fair enough, I asked the DBAs to run the following: CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY ext_data_files AS '/data/ext_data_files'; GRANT ALL ON DIRECTORY ext_data_files TO MYAPPUSER; They did, and the final object has the following script: CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY EXT_DATA_FILES AS '/data/ext_data_files'; GRANT READ, WRITE ON DIRECTORY SYS.EXT_DATA_FILES TO MYAPPUSER; (I got that from asking a desc with Toad) I was then hoping to use this directory to create my external table with the script as follows: CREATE TABLE MYAPPUSER.MY_EXT_TABLE ( ID VARCHAR2(100 BYTE), LOGIN VARCHAR2(100 BYTE), CODE VARCHAR2(100 BYTE), CREATED_AT VARCHAR2(100 BYTE) ) ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL ( TYPE ORACLE_LOADER DEFAULT DIRECTORY SYS.EXT_DATA_FILES ACCESS PARAMETERS ( RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE NOBADFILE NOLOGFILE FIELDS TERMINATED BY ';' MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL ( ID, LOGIN, CODE, CREATED_AT) ) LOCATION (SYS.EXT_DATA_FILES:'the_external_file.txt') ) REJECT LIMIT 0 PARALLEL ( DEGREE DEFAULT INSTANCES DEFAULT ) NOMONITORING; but then when I SELECT * FROM MY_EXT_TABLE, the result is the infamous ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout ORA-29400: data cartridge error KUP-04040: file the_external_file.txt in EXT_DATA_FILES not found ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", line 19 (which has quite a few hits on google, but none seem related) I'm confident of the syntax since this is the exact same script used in our DEV environment.

The ORACLE_LOADER driver can be used to access any data stored in any format that can be loaded by SQL*Loader. No DML can be performed on external tables but they can be used for query, join and sort http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9804590/oracle-external-table-with-dbas-directory operations. Views and synonyms can be created against external tables. They are useful in the ETL process of data warehouses since the data doesn't need to be staged and can be queried in parallel.

I would then like http://oraclequirks.blogspot.com/2008/07/ora-29400-data-cartridge-error.html to call this procedure in dbms_job to run daily . Thanks Sangita and we said... No -- why? the external table IS YOUR STAGING TABLE.... But even so -- think about it -- what is an external table? A database table that happens to be in a flat file. error in How do you interact with it? Using SQL. So, if you know how to move data from tableA to tableB you already know the answer. an external table looks, feels, acts no differently to your queries then a HEAP table or an INDEX table. Just query it. Reviews Write a Review Is it possible to access flat file from network ??

cartridge error Always check out the original article at http://www.oraclequirks.com for latest comments, fixes and updates.The pair ORA-29913/ORA-29400 is a sort of catch-all exception embedding KUP-XXXXX error codes that further specify the type of problem encountered with the definition of an external table.The type of errors encountered spans from syntax errors to missing files or privileges.For instance, yesterday i got this one when i forgot to specify a keyword in the external table definition.CREATE TABLE "IMP_BAD_BOXES"( "TOTE_ID" NUMBER(8,0),"DEPT" VARCHAR2(2 BYTE),"CREATED" DATE)ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL( TYPE ORACLE_LOADERDEFAULT DIRECTORY "IMPORT_DIR"ACCESS PARAMETERS(LOGFILE 'BOXES.log'FIELDSMISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULLREJECT ROWS WITH ALL NULL FIELDS (CREATED POSITION(1:14) CHAR DATE_FORMAT DATE MASK "YYYYMMDDHH24MISS",TOTE_ID POSITION(15:22) CHAR,DEPT POSITION(23:24) CHAR))LOCATION( 'BOXES.dat'));select * from IMP_BAD_BOXES;ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN calloutORA-29400: data cartridge errorKUP-00554: error encountered while parsing access parametersKUP-01005: syntax error: found "logfile": expecting one of: "column, ..."KUP-01007: at line 1 column 1I marked in red color the position in the statement that caused the run-time error.Note indeed that when you create the table, no issues are reported, you won't know if it works until you go live.So, in the end, this verbose error message was to report that i forgot to specify the keyword RECORDS before LOGFILE.If you look at the syntax diagram of the ACCESS PARAMETERS clause (ver. 10R1), you'll notice that there are four distinct sub-clauses. LOGFILE belongs to the record format sub-clause. This means that you cannot specify any keyword in this sub-clause if you haven't specified the RECORDS keyword first.Note also that from a syntax standpoint it is perfectly legitimate to write the RECORDS keyword alone, but if you do not add DELIMITED BY NEWLINE ( or some other speci
