Load a Cloud Storage File into a Table

The following example shows how to load a cloud storage file into a database table:

Use Case 1: When using the DBMS_CLOUD authentication scheme, the DBMS_CLOUD credential is set and transfer method is set to dbms_cloud.

--Set the DBMS_CLOUD credential
SQL> cs dbc swiftcred

--Set Cloud Storage URI to the bucket
SQL> cs https://objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.example.com/n/test/b/example

DBMS_CLOUD Credential: SWIFTCRED                 
OCI Profile: Not Set
Transfer Method: dbms_cloud
URI as specified: https://objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.example.com/n/test/b/example

Use Case 2: When using the OCI Profile authentication scheme, the OCI profile is set and transfer method is set to oci.

--Set the OCI profile
SQL> cs oci demo
--Set Cloud Storage URI to the bucket

SQL> cs https://objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.example.com/n/test/b/example

DBMS_CLOUD Credential: Not Set            
OCI Profile: Demo
Transfer Method: oci
URI as specified: https://objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.example.com/n/test/b/example

--Create Table "locations"
SQL> create table locations(location_id NUMBER(5),location_name VARCHAR2(40));
Table LOCATIONS created

--Load data from LOCATIONS_DATA_TABLE.csv in cloud storage into "locations" table of the schema for the current user
SQL> load locations cs /o/LOCATIONS_DATA_TABLE.csv

format csv

delimiter ,
enclosure_left "

row_limit off
row_terminator default
skip_rows 0

--Number of rows processed: 50
--Number of rows in error: 0
--Last row processed in final committed batch: 50
0 - SUCCESS: Load processed without errors

SQL> select count(*) from locations;

COUNT(*)
–--------
50

--Load data from LOCATIONS_DATA_TABLE.csv in your current local folder into "locations" table 
  of the schema for the current user
SQL> load locations cs LOCATIONS_DATA_TABLE.csv

Unload Table Data into Cloud Storage

The following example shows how to unload data from the locations table into cloud storage. The data is unloaded to the cloud storage location and is named LOCATIONS_DATA_TABLE.csv.

--Set Cloud Storage URI to the bucket
SQL> cs https://objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com/n/test/b/example

–-Specify delimiter as | and terminator as <eol>
SQL> set loadformat delimiter | term <eol> csv

--Unload locations table into cloud storage
SQL> unload locations cs

DBMS_CLOUD Credential: SWIFTCRED            --Using DBMS_CLOUD authentication
OCI Profile: Not Set
Transfer Method: dbms_cloud
URI as specified: https://objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com/n/test/b/example/o/
Final URI: https://objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com/n/test/b/example/o/

List Compartments, Buckets, and Objects

The following example shows how to list compartments, buckets, and objects in cloud storage:

Note:

When using DBMS_CLOUD credential, you can only list the objects in the bucket.DBMS_CLOUD transfer method does not support listing compartments and buckets.

cs https://objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com/n/test

--Lists the compartments in the namespace
SQL> cs listc

COMP_APEX
dbtst
old
ords
pdf-fn-compartment
sandbox
sqldev

--Lists the compartments in the compartment sqldev
SQL> cs listc sqldev

sqldev1

--Lists the buckets in the compartment sqldev
SQL> cs listb sqldev

example
test 

--Lists the objects in the bucket transfer
SQL> cs listo /b/example

COUNTRIES_DATA_TABLE.csv
DEPARTMENTS_DATA_TABLE.csv
REGIONS_DATA_TABLE.csv
LOCATIONS_DATA_TABLE.csv

--Displays the first 2000 characters of LOCATIONS_DATA_TABLE file
SQL> cs peek /o/LOCATIONS_DATA_TABLE.csv
 

Load a Local File into Cloud Storage using the PUT command

The following example shows how to load a local file into cloud storage using the CS PUT command and the Cloud Storage command:

--Set Cloud Storage URI to the bucket
SQL> cs https://objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com/n/test/b/example

--Put an object from local directory into cloud storage
SQL> cs put C:\\Users\\JDOE\\EMPLOYEES_DATA_TABLE.csv /o/myemployees.csv

Put C:\\Users\\JDOE\\EMPLOYEES_DATA_TABLE.csv copied
        to https://objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com/n/test/b/example/o/myemployees.csv

--List the objects in the bucket
SQL> cs listo

COUNTRIES_DATA_TABLE.csv
DEPARTMENTS_DATA_TABLE.csv
REGIONS_DATA_TABLE.csv
LOCATIONS_DATA_TABLE.csv
myemployees.csv

Get a File from Cloud Storage using the GET Command

The following example shows how to get a file from cloud storage using the CS GET command and the Cloud Storage command:

--Set Cloud Storage URI to the bucket
SQL> cs https://objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com/n/test/b/example/o/

--Set the local directory
SQL> cd C:\\Users\JDOE\\TempCS

--Get the myemployees.csv file from cloud storage
SQL> cs get /o/myemployees.csv

Get Object https://objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com/n/test/b/example/o/myemployees.csv
copied to C:\Users\JDOE\TempCSemployees.csv

Delete a File in Cloud Storage using the DELETE Command

The following example shows how to delete a file in cloud storage using the CS DELETE command and the Cloud Storage command:

--Set Cloud Storage URI to the bucket
SQL> cs https://objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com/n/test/b/example/o/

--Set the local directory
SQL> cd C:\\Users\JDOE\\TempCS

--Delete the myemployees.csv file in cloud storage
SQL> cs delete /n/test/b/example/o/myemployees.csv

Deleted Object
https://objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.oraclecloud.com/n/test/b/example/o/myemployees.csv 

Grant a DBMS_CLOUD Credential to Another User

The following example shows how to create and grant a DBMS_CLOUD credential to another user:

-- Create a DBMS_CLOUD credential using oci-profile
SQL> dbcc create jdoecred profile freedb

DBMS_CLOUD Credential: JDOECRED
OCI Profile: Not Set
Transfer Method: dbms_cloud
URI as specified: https://objectstorage.us-ashburn-1.example.com/n/test/b/example

-- Grant jdoecred to user jdoe
SQL> grant all on jdoecred to jdoe;

-- Connect to the Cloud instance as jdoe
SQL> connect jdoe/********@adw20200526_high

-- Create a synonym for jdoecred
SQL> create synonym mycred for admin.jdoecred;

-- Set the transfer method using the synonym mycred
SQL> cs dbc mycred

-- User can now list the objects in the Cloud Storage 'test' bucket 
because jdoe.mycred exists (as synonym)
SQL> cs listo
