This question comes up about as frequently as the ‘how do I export data to XLS?’ question. It’s pretty simple once you’ve ran through the process a few times. But you may be here because you’ve never ran through the process before. This post will step you from beginning to end. You should be prepared to import data to an existing table from Excel with confidence after reading this post.. Warning: This post has a LOT of pictures. For our example I’ll be using HR.EMPLOYEES to build the XLS file. I have created a blank copy of the table in another schema and want to import the data from my excel file over. Step 0: The Empty Oracle Table and your Excel File You have an Oracle table and you have one or more Excel files. You may have an Excel file with 100 columns but your table only has 30. This is where you tell SQL Developer what columns are to be used for the import. You can also change up the column order, which may make the next step a bit easier. Step 6: If you’re not paying attention and just letting the wizard guide you home, then now is the time to wake up. 'Hi all, Can you please tell me, how can I load a DBase file (.dbf) into Oracle DB table? I can't open it in Excel because the file contains Unicode characters and when I try to open it the spec characters are shown as invalid. Tnx, Dragan '. By dragandac. 13 years ago. Related Tags: Data Management. There’s a good chance the column order of the Excel file won’t match the definition of your table. This is where you will tell SQL Developer what columns in the spreadsheet match up to what columns in the Oracle table. Step 7: Verify your settings Hit the ‘verify’ button. Fix any mistakes. Ruh roh raggy! SQL Developer is telling you it doesn’t know how to reconcile the data for this DATE column. We need to know what the is. So we need to go back to the Column definition wizard and inspect the HIRE_DATE column settings. You need to look at how the dates are stored in the spreadsheet and write them in terms that Oracle can understand. This will be used on the INSERTs via a TO_DATE() function that will turn your Excel string into an actual DATE value. After correcting this, go back to the Verification screen and see if that fixes the problem. I have been using this process for several months. Works flawlessly each and everytime. Users fill in hundreds of rows on a spreadsheet, and I load it into the database in a matter of minutes. So I get a list of course sessions to load into a table and on step 4, I get a SERIOUS error messageSource columns mapped to the same target table column COURSE:CNAME, Table column name is COURSE, name of column on spreadsheet is CNAME. This is the first time I have encountered this. What does the error mean? I have a csv file that I want to load using import data, one column is a DATE data type. I cannot format the csv input file correctly for nulls. I have tried using the word null,null with quotes ‘null’, nothing or two quotes together and the to_date() function. The import data tool does not like the null values in the csv. I get an error stating the Data is not compatible with column definition or is not available for a not nullable column. The column is a DATE column nulls are allowed all the other dates work but the nulls do not. Hi, I encountered an odd problem during import of data from excel. I work with PL/SQL Developer 10.* on my laptop, accessing remote oracle server. So far I haven’t faced a problem during import from excel, till yesterday. I tried to import 40K IDs from a single column to a temporary table in the base, made for this reason, with the same header name, only with one column and so on Which I have done it many times. But when I started the import an error message appeared, which was like this one – “You tried to insert a “NULL value into a column that does not accept NULL values” I think it was this error: In this moment I thought that there are blank rows in the excel, because I removed duplicates with the function in excel, which deletes the data only from the cells, not the rows. So I checked again, deleted the blank rows below the data, clear everything blank, but still nothing. In the error message box was a button “skip” (during the import), every time when I was able to press the button, I could see different indications – 66 records successfuly imported, 54 records, 32 and so on (on portions) I didn’t understand what was happening. I tried to move the data to another excel file with paste special, but nothing changed when I tried to import the data from the new file. The data was in text format, the last thing what I tried, was to convert the data in to a number. And after this move the import was successful without any problems. I cannot explain to myself why this happened, where is the reason? And one more thing, strange again – the records in the file were 29444, after import I saw indication that I have 29444 successfully imported records. But when I checked the table in the database, there were 30560. Which extra confused me. Before the import I intentionally deleted the old data in this table, and it was blank. Regards’ Emil. Takes 5 minutes to install sqldev, I timed it download 4.1.1 with the embedded JDK unzip it run it – you’re done ? >>Source columns, do not have data types assigned So you’re creating a new table based on a spreadsheet. The error is telling you to that one of the columns doesn’t have a data type assigned to it. If you think you DO have this take care of, in the earlier part of the wizard, look for an option to ‘create script’ – this will generate code for the process and you can use that and skip the verify bit. Jeff: I’m using SQL Developer to import an Excel 2003 formatted spreadsheet into an Oracle 11g database table. Unfortunately it’s giving me a FAILED verify parameter and doesn’t tell me which column it’s referring to. How can I handle the following verify parameters FAILED message in SQL Developer: Data Types BINARY_DOUBLE, not supported for import There is only one spreadsheet column formatted as Number, two columns that are formatted as General, and three columns that are formatted as Text which contain numerical data. Thus, I assume the FAILED message is referring to the column formatted as Number. Hallo Jeff, i try to Import Data from an CSV-File or excel and have some problems with my implementation ( on an window-xp PC, Version 4.0.3.16, Java(TM)-Plattform 1.7.0_71, German Menu’s). 1.) I can not select the “Begrenzungszeichen” / Separator. The Comma is fix (this means the Selector is gray and can not be used). 2.) If i convert my csv-File to an excel-Spreadsheet, there is an empty Screen after i select the Excel-File to import. Is this effekt known and how can i handle this. Regards Volker Klös PS.: I have another effekt, starting Packages with Constant-Parameter, which i can show by Screenshots. Hey Jeff, Thanks for the tutorial! It doesn’t appear that the import takes records in the order they exist on the Excel spreadsheet. For instance, we have a spreadsheet where entries are added to the bottom as they occur, but there is not a time stamp associated with their addition. In order to see if Person B was added before person A, you simply look to see if person A is on the list before or after person B. Once I’ve imported the data into SQL Developer, the records are out of order. Is there a way to import them exactly in the order they are in, or will I need to just include a column in my spreadsheet that is numbered and sort that way with SQL Developer? Thanks for your help! Hi, In SQL Developer v4.0.3, jdk1.7.0_71, and I get an empty list of Import Methods (mentioned on this blog) when importing a CSV file (did not try with other). I also have sqldeveloper-3.0.04.34 on the same box. I launched SQL Developer from the bin directory. Hi Jeff, I am getting error “ORA-01722: invalid number” during Import of csv file having Numeric values with group separator, for example “2,308,000”. On preview step it looks ok and Verification is ok. I am doing this with SQL Developer Version 3.2.20.09 and tried with Version 4.0.0.13 Could you advise how to resolve this issue? There is test case: CREATE TABLE TEST_NUM(test_val NUMBER) / file test.csv test_val “2,308,000” “-2,308,000” After run Import there is error –Insert failed for rows 1 through 2 –ORA-01722: invalid number –Row 1 INSERT INTO TEST_NUM (TEST_VAL) VALUES (2308000.0); –Row 2 INSERT INTO TEST_NUM (TEST_VAL) VALUES (-2308000.0). I think I’ve hit a problem that a couple of other replies mentioned. Numbers (formatted NUMBER(9,0)) and with input values like 1234 are being imported as 1234.0. This is a problem because those numbers are foreign keys. An example row in my input CSV looks like this: “2383”,”2414″,”PARTY_ASSOCIATION_TYPE_SYS”,”HAS_MEMBER” but after it’s been through the import wizard this row is being inserted like this: INSERT INTO ESP_PARTY_ASSOCIATIONS (PAS_FROM, PAS_TO, PAS_ASSOCIATION_GROUP_ID, PAS_ASSOCIATION_CODE_ID) VALUES (2383.0,2414.0,’PARTY_ASSOCIATION_TYPE_SYS’,’HAS_MEMBER’); You can see it’s appended “.0”. It’s quite strange because some of the earlier tables have NUMBER(9,0) columns with input data that looks the same and which processes correctly. This is an approach that is often applicable. In the past I’ve employed the following three other approaches: * Cheap but effective for small volumes: add a column, put a formula in it: =”insert into TABLE(list) values (“‘ & a1 & ‘”, /* number */ ” & b1 & “);” and then fill down that formula and copy it in to TOAD or SQL*Plus. Possibly enclosed by begin/end. * Use Invantive Control (note I work there). It allows you to download from Oracle into Excel, add rows according to business rules and upload in the originating view or table using synchronize. Fit for larger volumes upto 20 M rows. * Use Pentaho Kettle: can repetively load many tables from one or more worksheets. Fit for very large volumes upto (I guess) 1000 M and more rows. Jeff, Is it possible, when you do an import, to have the target table created for you by sql dev? In other words in your example above you have the table created in oracle already and you import to it which is great – appreciate the great post! A nice feature of other products is the ability to have the tool build the target table and then load it with the imported file in one fell swoop. (I realize Oracle dba’s will cringe at this but for testing, productivity and reality – it is a great benefit). Can u give ur mail id so that i can send the excel file. No other excel files are also imported. While importing i am not getting the import method option between data preview and columns. I didn’t get the insert option which u showed in step-4. But still i tried and all the columns are chosen and in column definition verify is also done and shown success. I then clicked the finish option but no values are inserted into my table. Please help me. As i have a lot of excel files to import data into oracle database. Hi Jeff, Thanks for the post. Though I knew about this feature but I did not have to use it until today. And now I cannot get it to work. Things work fine until I click the ‘Finish’ button after which nothing seems to happen. The data does not get imported, nor do I get any error message. Tried with different tables and different Import Methods too, but it does not seem to work. SQL Developer: 3.2.20_09 OS: Windows 7 Will be sending you a mail with the csv file. Though I doubt it is an issue with the file since it contains only a single column with three rows. But I have tried that alsoNot working. The problem is the internal query which is generated. It takes the null value inside single qoutes(‘ ‘)(to_date(”,’DD-MON-YY’)). There is the problem! If that qoutes (‘ ‘) can be removed it will work. Let the date field in the Excel have some manual date (put some random date) and leave some NULL. Then try to insert. Hope I am able to make you understand my problem When you do that the data where you have specified the date gets inserted into the table. But the one you left blank will insert NULL value in the table, not the SYSDATE (which is required). First, i upgraded my SQL Developer to 3.2.20.09 Looks good. I got the INSERT generated earlier but to analyze or copy the IDE used to freeze immediately. Now i got the INSERT script generated and says “ORA-01722: invalid number” My XLS is having numbers in couple of columns like, 1, 610, 66945 While importing during the Data Preview phase i noticed that the values are coming as floating points like 1.0, 610.0, 66945.0 Then i made the corresponding columns formatted as Text and the Data Preview was all good. But the INSERT failed because those floating points came up again. Not sure if this is some very simple setting in my MS Excel 2008 for Mac Thank you very much for your response and your help in this regard. Very nice explanation in this post. I have a question, I am using excel 2007 and created a small file with few rows. Each row has data which is linked with other worksheet in same files. During import in SQL Developer, I could not see any row in the table which has linked data with other sheets. I used past link special option here. But if I am using simple data row (without paste link special option) then Import is fine. Any idea how can I fix this problem in file with paste link special option? I will appreciate. Are you working with an XLS or XLSX file? If so, how big is it? Could be we’re running out of memory – an issue we know about and are working on. You can launch sqldveloper from the bin directory and get a command console to see any error messages that are occuring when you get to that stepor you could just try to increase the amount of memory for SQL Developer in the sqldeveloper.conf file by modifying this line AddVMOption -XX:MaxPermSize=256M Or you could try saving your xls file as a CSV and trying that – no memory issues with CSV files. Or it could be something completely different ?. SQLDeveloper 3.2.20.09.87 Windows 7 JDK 1.6.0_37 Excel file — but it also happens with a regular plain text CSV file. I don’t think it has anything to do with the particular data I’m using. I was able to successfully import the same XLS file with dbVisualizer. I also created a dummy csv file with 2 rows of data in it — and that yields the same results (nothing in the import method list) as trying to use the Excel file. I’ve even tried importing the data into a different table (in the same schema), and the list is still empty. Do I need a certain set of permissions on the Oracle database for this to work in SQLDeveloper? I have a limited-access user id where I can query/insert/delete data but not perform any schema-relatated activities (add/drop tables or columns, etc.). I wouldn’t expect this to be the case, because dbVisualizer works correctly. Some notes from the developer – Reading through the code, the only thing I can think of is that maybe his preferences are messed up somehow. If there are no errors in the console, the first thing to try is blowing away the preferences. Depends on platform, but basically they are in “.sqldeveloper” in the ‘home’ directory. Check Help->About->Properties to find out where they are ide.pref.dir C: Documents and Settings user Application Data SQL Developer Easiest is to delete the directory (export connections somewhere safe 1st) BUT if they have multiple versions installed, need to find directory under.sqldeveloper that corresponds to version (e.g., system3.0.03.01) then delete at least settings.xml from the 0.ide. Get it into a SQL*Loader friendly format, like CSV. Then you’ll want to set it up to run in SQL*Loader. That’s an option in the Import wizard. After you’ve stepped through it you’ll be left with a set of files including a script. You’ll want to setup an OS job to run that script on a daily basis, making sure that you also have scripted the daily input file to be placed where the job is going to look for it. I have a post on how to use SQL*Loader with SQL Developer – it’s on my ‘Popular Posts’ widget to the right of the blog content. You’ll want to read up on SQL*Loader in our Oracle Docs as well. Hi, I hope you can help me. I’ve just started a new job and they are using the Oracle system. Blanket purchase orders are sent out to the supplier with required delivery dates. On a daily basis requests for quicker delivery dates are generated by Oracle. The requests can be downloaded from Oracle into excel and sent to the supplier. I need to know if the supplier replies with a new improved delivery date in excel is it possible to upload the new delivery date directly into oracle from excel? I have asked the people in my department and they have informed me it’s not possible and I have to change the date manually within Oracle. However this is a long process and I would have thought an upload would be possible. Of course it’s possible ? The question is SHOULD you do it this way. Here’s an example of hooking Excel up directly to the database using ODBC I’m not advocating that you do this, but you can see what Charles is doing and decide if you want to go in that direction. You could turn the problem on it’s ear and build a web application using APEX and have the suppliers update their dates directly – even to a staging database where you could then use SQL to update your production system. Or even have a job that does that for you auto-magically. But yes, it’s possible. First we walk, then we run. Something we’re kicking the tires on is a more powerful command-line interface. This would allow you to call SQLDev features via your scripts, which you could then schedule via your native OS scheduling interface. If it’s a regular activity and you want to automate it today, something you may want to look at is using SQL*Loader. Until we have what you want in SQL Developer, you could define your ctl file for your Excel data – which would need to be converted to a CSV, then you could achieve what you want. Thanks for the feedback Scott! It may require a bit more coding than you’re comfortable at this time, but if you’re willing to to a bit of research, it WILL work. Try reading this FAQ first to get an idea of what’s involved. Once you define what the data stream looks like, you can use windows or *NIX scheduling to run your script on demand. And it will be FAST. There are MANY utilities out there for loading Excel data to Oracle. They are not free. This process will be free, but it will require more work. And the process will continue to evolve and get better in SQL Developer of course!
