Text Importer discrepancy

[Joe Simunac]

According to the documentation, if you save a definition in the text importer it will open automatically when you open the same text file again. I've set up my definition of the text file and the Oracle table to load into and saved the definition. If I open the same data file, the first tab shows the data correctly. However, I must set up the Oracle load table all over again. If I open the data and then open the definition (two separate steps) it works correctly. Two steps is not a problem, but the documentation should probably match what actually occurs.

This association is saved when you perform an import. Have you already done this?

 

[Joe Simunac]

Yes, I've already imported. I saved the definition on exit after the import.

 

[Marco Kalter]

Can you check if the following file has an entry for your import?

C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer\Import\import.files

 

[Joe Simunac]

Yes, it does. The line is:

P:\BusTech\Parking\holdtix.txt=C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer\Import\Parking.def

There is only one line and I've imported twice. Is that normal?

 

[Marco Kalter]

Yes. This is the relation between the import file (Parking.def) and the data file (holdtix.txt). When you open holdtix.txt the Parking.def definition should be reused. This does not work?
