 In the world of data science, automation, and general programming, working with files is unavoidable. Whether you’re dealing with CSV reports, JSON APIs, Excel sheets, or text logs, Python provides rich and easy-to-use libraries for reading different file formats. In this guide, we’ll explore how to read different files in Python , with code examples and best practices. 1. Reading Text Files ( .txt ) Text files are the simplest form of files. Python’s built-in open() function handles them effortlessly. Example: # Open and read a text file with open ( "sample.txt" , "r" ) as file: content = file.read() print (content) Explanation: "r" mode means read . with open() automatically closes the file when done. Best Practice: Always use with to handle files to avoid memory leaks. 2. Reading CSV Files ( .csv ) CSV files are widely used for storing tabular data.

PL/SQL Sample code and error handling mechanism

SAMPLE PL/SQL CREATE TABLE dummy ( dummy_value VARCHAR2(1)); DECLARE -- Define local variable. my_string VARCHAR2(1) := ' '; my_number NUMBER; BEGIN -- Select a white space into a local variable. SELECT ' ' INTO my_string FROM dummy; -- Attempt to assign a single white space to a number. my_number := TO_NUMBER(my_string); EXCEPTION WHEN no_data_found THEN dbms_output.put_line('SELECT-INTO'||CHR(10)||SQLERRM); END; / Output and Error: The program returns the following output, which illustrates formatting user- defined exceptions.  The CHR(10) inserts a line return and provides a clean break between the program's SQLCODE and SQLERRM messages: RAISE my_error SQLCODE [1]  SQLERRM [User-Defined Exception]
