5) Tell me some thing about SQL-LOADER.
Sql * loader is a bulk loader utility used for moving data from external files into the oracle database.
Sql * loader supports various load formats, selective loading, and multi-tables loads.
1) Conventional
–The conventional path loader essentially loads the data by using standard ‘insert’ statement.
2) Direct
— The direct path loader (direct = true) by possess of logic involved with that, and loads directly in to the oracle data files.
EX:-
My data.csv file
1001, “scott tiger”,1000,40
1002,”gvreddy”,2345,50
Load data
Infile ‘c:\data\mydata.csv’
Into table emp
Fields terminated by “,” optionally enclosed by ‘”’
(empno, empname,sal,deptno)
>sqlldr scott/tiger@vis
control=loader.ctl log= gvlog.log bad=gvbad.bad discard=gvdis.dsc .
1) CONTROL FILE: insert, append, truncate, replace.
Consist of interface table name data file name and columns
a) Not null columns
b) Along with required columns
Control file will contain the sql*loader script, which is used to load data from the data file into oracle base table ( these are situations where data can be included it with in the control file it self)
2) DATA FILE: Actual data for that column
horizontal way only
1) Flat file (.dat/.txt)
2) csu file (comma separator value)
3) LOG FILE: the log file after a load to be sure that no error occurred (or) at least that no unexpected error occurred this type of information is written in log file.
4) BAD FILE: records that cause errors ( insert operations to file, data base errors while trying to load a record)
5) DISCARD: records not selected for loading
7) How do u dump data from pl/sql block to flat files?
Using utl_file package, we can dump data from pl/sql block to flat file.
PRE-REQUIREMENTS for UTL_FILE is specify the accessible directories for the UTL_FILE function in the initialization file (INIT.ORA) Using the UTL_FILE_DIR parameters.
Ex: UTL_FILE_DIR = <Directory name>
EX:- –remember to update INITSID.ORA,
–utl_file_dir = ‘c:\oradata’
Declare
Fp utl_file.file_type;
Begin
Fp := utl_file.fopen(c:\oradata’,tab1.txt’,’w’);

FND FLEXIDVAL are used to display flex field information like prompt, value etc
FND FLEXSQL these user exits allow you to use flex fields in your reports
FND FORMAT_CURRENCY is used to print currency in various formats by using formula column.
USER EXITS
We build user exits when we want to pass control from report builder to a program we have written, which performs some function, and then returns control to report builder.
SRW.USER_EXIT (‘FND RSWINIT’) (Before report trigger)
Fetches concurrent request information and setup profile options.
SRW.USER_EXIT (‘FND SRWEXIT’) (after report trigger)
Frees all the memory allocation done in other oracle applications user exits.
SRW.USER_EXIT (‘FND FLEXSQL’) (Before report)
CODE =”flex field code”
APPL_SHORT_NAME =”application short name”
OUTPUT =”: out put lexical parameter name”
MODE =” {select | where | having| order by}”
DISPLAY = {all | flex filed qualifier | segment no “}
This user exit populates the lexical parameter that we specify with the appropriate column names/sql fragment at runtime.
This enables the report itself to retrieve the concatenated flex field segment values
Out put: – specify the name of the lexical parameter to store the sql fragments.
SRW.USER_EXIT (‘FND FLEXIDVAL
CODE =”FLEX FIELD CODE”
APPL_SHORT_NAME = “Application short name”
DATA =”: source column name”

- What are the advance features available in alerts?
- Distribution list
- Periodic sets
- Summay thresholds
- Action set checks

SELECT multi_org_flag FROM fnd_product_groups;
16) How do I find out what the currently installed release of Applications is?
SELECT release_name FROM fnd_product_groups
17) How do I find the name of a form?

ar25run userid=apps/apps@database destype=file
desname=try.out
desformat=$FND_TOP/srw/L
batch=yes report=<path to report>
19)Clean out the Concurrent Manager tables?
DELETE from fnd_concurrent_processes;
20) How do I find the errors when a package will not compile?
From SQL*Plus, ‘show errors’ will usually give you the last error messages.
SELECT name, text FROM user_errors will give you the errors.
21) How do I backup a table?
CREATE TABLE backup_table AS SELECT *FROM table to_backup;
22) What is the use of Temp tables in Interface programs?
Temporary tables are used in Interface programs to hold the intermediate data. The data is loaded into temporary tables first and then, after validating through the PL/SQL programs, the data is loaded into the interface tables.

- when
srw.do_sql failure
- srw.message.
28) How do you call one report to another report?
Using SRW RUN REPORT
28) Name some FND tables?

29) How can we issue DDL statements through forms?
DDL (Data Definition Language) commands like CREATE, DROP and ALTER are
not directly supported from Forms because Forms are not suppose to manipulate
the database structure.
A statement like CREATE TABLE My_table (Ship_id number);
will result in error:
Encountered the symbol “CREATE” which is a
reserved word.
However, you can use the FORMS_DDL built-in to execute DDL
statements. Eg:
FORMS_DDL (‘CREATE TABLE my_table (ship_id NUMBER)’);
30) How does Oracle Reports
integrate with Oracle Discoverer?
Oracle Discoverer is seamlessly
integrated with Oracle Reports. Oracle Reports is one of the export options to
which a workbook may be exported in Discoverer. Simply create/open your
workbook in Discoverer, select File, Export To, and choose RDF. This creates an
RDF file (Report Definition File) which may be modified in the Report Builder, if
necessary, and then be published across the Enterprise using the Reports
Server.

Insert into t values (1,i);
End loop;
End;
Commit;
- select count(*) form t; –100 rows
