Working with CSV files in SQL Developer

Hello everyone,

I receive flat files in CSV format from a production database (raw tables without modifications).

The volumes are quite large... And I do not have tools to validate this data.

So my question is the following: is it possible to use SQL Developer on CSV files only (no connection to Oracle databases)?

Thank you in advance.

Vincent

Configuration: Windows / Internet Explorer 11.0

Hello,

It doesn't seem to me that you can directly use a .csv in sql*developer.

Why not load it into an Oracle staging table? That remains the simplest solution.

Or if you have Office, process the csv in Excel. Or convert it to an Access table, which can then be used in sql*developer.

Best regards

Can we create Oracle tables locally with SQL Developer?

I was advised to use MySQL, which would allow me to create/declare my tables locally and import my various tables in CSV format into it. Is that possible? If so, which version/components of MySQL should I use?

Thank you

Vincent

An Oracle table is created in an Oracle database. The Oracle database can be local, on your PC, but most of the time an Oracle database runs on a server.

I don't use MySQL. And MySQL with SQL Developer is not native; you need to use an ODBC or JDBC connector.
