Passing arrays to oracle from unix
Hi all...
Im looking to pass the contents of a simple file to Oracle so that it can be stored in a database table.
The best way i can think of to avoid overhead is to loop through the contents of the file and store the data in a bash array. then the array can be passed to SQL Plus where Oracle can loop through the array and write the data away.
Is this a good way of doing it? if it is...does anyone have an exmple of how to pass an array from the bash shell to oracle
eg simple file called name.txt that contains the following..
tom
dick
harry
any help on this would be reatly appreciated?
This can be done by looping through lines in the file and for each line open up an oracle connection to write the data away eg but tis is expensive performance wise.
loop through file contents
"insert into table values variable1, variable2 ect| sqlplus -s scott/tiger

capture-schema
capture-schema(1m) Application Server Utility capture-schema(1m)
NAME
capture-schema - stores the database metadata (schema) in a file for use in mapping and execution
SYNOPSIS
capture-schema-dburl url-username name- password password-driver a_jdbc_driver [-schemaname name] [-table tablename]* [-out filename]
Stores the database metadata (schema) in a file. You can also use the Sun Java System Studio IDE to capture the database schema. Run cap-
ture-schema as the same database user that owns the tables, so that the -username and -schemaname options are given the same username.
Additionally, you can grant the database user running the capture-schema command the ANALYZE ANY TABLE privilege.
OPTIONS
-dburl JDBC URL expected by the driver for accessing a database.
-username user name for authenticating access to a database.
-password password for accessing the selected database.
-driver JDBC driver classname in your CLASSPATH.
-schemaname name of the user schema being captured. If not specified, the default will capture metadata for all tables from all
the schemas accessible to this user. Specifying this parameter is highly recommended. If more than one schema is
accessible to this user, more than one table with the same name may be captured which will cause problems.
-table name of the table; multiple table names can be specified.
-out output target; defaults to stdout. This parameter corresponds to the schema sub-element of the sun-cmp-mapping ele-
ment in the sun-cmp-mapping_1_1.dtd file.
EXAMPLES
Example 1: Using capture-schema
capture-schema -dburl jdbc:oracle:thin:@sadbuttrue:1521:ora817
-schemaname cantiflas -username CANTIFLAS -password enigma -driver
oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
