从Oracle9i开始,Oracle的外部表技术(Oracle External Tables)被极大的增强,通过外部表访问外部数据增强了Oracle数据库和外部数据源进行数据交互的能力,对于数据仓库和ETL来说,这些增强极大的方便了数据访问。
对于DBA来说,最常见一个例子是可以使用外部表来访问警告日志文件或其他跟踪文件.
以下一个例子用来说明外部表的用途。
首先需要创建一个Directory:
[oracle@jumper oracle]$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"SQL*Plus: Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production on Sun Oct 15 21:42:28 2006
Copyright (c) 1982, 2002, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
Connected to:
Oracle9i Enterprise Edition Release 9.2.0.4.0 - Production
With the Partitioning option
JServer Release 9.2.0.4.0 - ProductionSQL> create or replace directory bdump
2 as '/opt/oracle/admin/eygle/bdump';Directory created.
SQL> col DIRECTORY_PATH for a30
SQL> col owner for a10
SQL> select * from dba_directories;OWNER DIRECTORY_NAME DIRECTORY_PATH
---------- ------------------------------ ------------------------------
SYS BDUMP /opt/oracle/admin/eygle/bdump
然后创建一个外部表:
SQL> create table alert_log ( text varchar2(400) )
2 organization external (
3 type oracle_loader
4 default directory BDUMP
5 access parameters (
6 records delimited by newline
7 nobadfile
8 nodiscardfile
9 nologfile
10 )
11 location('alert_eygle.log')
12 )
13 reject limit unlimited
14 /Table created.
SQL> select * from alert_log where rownum < 51;TEXT
