I want to crate external table based on datafile, but I got error. I use whitespace to delimit my record but this doesn work . Yes I created directory and gave read and write permissions than I created my external table . However when I selected it I got an error. ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout ORA-29400: data cartridge error

my external table is :

create table nflteams_ext (
ACR varchar2(4),
NAME varchar2(20))
organization external
(
type oracle_loader
default directory ext_tab_data
access parameters (
records delimited by newline CHARACTERSET US7ASCII
fields terminated by whitespace
missing field values are null
(ACR varchar2(4),
NAME varchar2(20))
)
LOCATION ('NFL_Teams.dat')
)
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED NOPARALLEL;


data file:

NO New Orleans Saints
PIT Pittsburgh Steelers
IND Indianapolis Colts

In the meantime (while waiting for a second message): where did you create a directory? Should be on a database server. Is it there, or is it on your own PC?

You need to use CHAR instead of VARCHAR2 in the lower section of your external table creation. Also, if you just delimit by whitespace, then only the first word of the second column will be loaded, so you need to delimit that field by '/n'. Please see the reproduction of the problem and correction below.

-- test data file and directory object:
SCOTT@orcl12c> HOST TYPE c:\my_oracle_files\nfl_teams.dat
NO New Orleans Saints
PIT Pittsburgh Steelers
IND Indianapolis Colts

SCOTT@orcl12c> CREATE OR REPLACE DIRECTORY ext_tab_data AS 'c:\my_oracle_files'
  2  /

Directory created.


-- reproduction of problem (your code):
SCOTT@orcl12c> create table nflteams_ext (
  2  ACR varchar2(4),
  3  NAME varchar2(20))
  4  organization external
  5  (
  6  type oracle_loader
  7  default directory ext_tab_data
  8  access parameters (
  9  records delimited by newline CHARACTERSET US7ASCII
 10  fields terminated by whitespace
 11  missing field values are null
 12  (ACR varchar2(4),
 13  NAME varchar2(20))
 14  )
 15  LOCATION ('NFL_Teams.dat')
 16  )
 17  REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED NOPARALLEL
 18  /

Table created.

SCOTT@orcl12c> SELECT * FROM nflteams_ext
  2  /
SELECT * FROM nflteams_ext
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout

KUP-01008: the bad identifier was: varchar2
KUP-01007: at line 4 column 6


-- correction:
SCOTT@orcl12c> DROP TABLE nflteams_ext
  2  /

Table dropped.
