I am migrating data from DB2 to Oracle. I used DB2 export to extract the data specifying lobsinfile clause. This created all the CLOB data in one file. So a typical record has a column with a reference to the CLOB data. "OUTFILE.001.lob.0.2880/". where OUTFILE.001.lob is the name specified in the export command and 0 is the starting position in the file and 2880 is the length of the first CLOB.
When I try to load this data using sqlldr I'm getting a file not found.Attached is a copy of the control file and output from testing
PS. I cant use the DB2 option LOBSINSEPFILES which creates a separate file for each CLOB column because the table has over 14 million rows....and creating 14 mil files causes OS inode problems...
Attached File(s)
sqlldr.txt ( 2.05K )

I am trying to build a data warehouse for Consumer Price Index and so I have downloaded data from the Bureau of Statistics.It is in excel format and since I am working with Oracle Warehouse Builder I have converted it to .csv file so that I can use it as a data source.
Question1: Is it practical to use single .csv file as a source of data for a data warehouse?
Question2: I have 3 dimensions tables and a fact table.The dimensions are one for the Region(as the date is organized in region,states etc),two is the consumer goods and services (as the data is organized in groups of goods and services, services/goods types) and finally time(year and month),
Now how am I going to do the mapping here?Is it possible to do a one to one mapping here as all data required by the dimensions is located in the .csv file.
Just wanted to export a clob field to .txt file, the maximum length of the clob field exceeds the limit 32767. So only partial data is exported to flat file. is there any way to export the entire data available in clob field irrespective of the size or lenght.
I have large data in the one table(approx. 2GB and above). I want to load the data in one flat file.
When i use spool - it is loading half data and remaining it is corrupting. In UNIX, i kept .sql file and with that i am exporting in .dat file. How to export the large data into flat file(.dat). is there any way to load command which wil be used in UNIX.
I need to create an Oracle Stored Procedure to read a Flat file(pipe delimited) and load the data into an Oracle table. I believe the file should be located in any of the path as logged in dba_directories table or it can be anywhere on the local client machine?
I have requirement as follows. I need to load the data to the target table on every Saturday. My source file consists of data of several sates. For every week i have to load one particular state data to target table. If first week I loaded AP data, then second week on Saturday karnatak, etc.
Provide code also how can i schedule the data load with every Saturday with different state column values automatically.
using SQLLDR: Looking for a control file solution to move past or bypass extra data fields which are not on destination table. Basically if you have 8 tab delimited fields(terminated by ' ') on a data record; but only need to load 5 of the values from the delimited record; is there a way to ignore/bypass the not needed data. Obviously, the answer would be to massage the data at the OS and removed the 3 unnecessary fields.
However my hands are tied by volume,time, and compliancy. I am familiar with using 'FILLER' for the reverse scenario; but not where you have more data available on the record then exists on the table.
we have table with 4 clob fields in it.to load text file of 4GB into the table it is taking around 2 hours. volumetric of that file is 40 Million. we are using direct=Y in sqlldr. but because of this clob fields we didn't got any performance improvement.
working on loading the data from flat file into table and below given is the validation condition given.I checked the UTL_FILE build in package but not able to figure out, how to identify the column header in flat file.
1. Skip the header, if any. The header is the first record, and starts with '000' 2. Skip the trailer, if any. The Trailer is the last record, and starts with '999' 3. Log an error, but continue if a line exceeds 512 characters 4. Log an error, but continue if a line is blank
I have a task to code a procedure and function in sql developer that will extract data within a date range (Jan 1 to April 3) from a source (source_name: expenses)and produce a text-file in pipe-delimited format.
Issue: Unable to load a flat file through Oracle Loader
Below is the script that is being used:
drop table dl_fact_fac_data_xtern; create table dl_fact_fac_data_xtern (
[Code].....
After rnning this script, it prompts that table has been created; but once I fire the select command on the table I receive the following errors :
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout ORA-29400: data cartridge error KUP-00554: error encountered while parsing access parameters KUP-01005: syntax error: found "data": expecting one of: "double-quoted-string, identifier, single-quoted-string" KUP-01007: at line 10 column 11 ORA-06512: at "SYS.ORACLE_LOADER", line 19 29913. 00000 - "error in executing %s callout" *Cause: The execution of the specified callout caused an error. *Action: Examine the error messages take appropriate action.
In one of my projects I am exporting a couple of views into a flat file. The export utility is generic and uses dynamic sql to generate a flat file. We have a test environment and a production environment. On both the code is the same. We noticed that the output is different between the environments although it is supposed to be the same. If I export a view in the production I will get a record like this:
The code I am running is not changing any settings explicitly. It looks like this and it will be run as EXECUTE IMMEDIATE:
DECLARE v_sql VARCHAR2 (32000); v_sql_count NUMBER := 0; v_error VARCHAR2 (4000); v_new_file UTL_FILE.file_type; BEGIN [code]........
I also tried to do the following on production in order to get it equal to the test environment:
BEGIN EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'ALTER SESSION SET NLS_LANGUAGE = AMERICAN ' || 'NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = ''.,''' || 'NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT = ''DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SSXFF AM'''; END;
This would change the formatting for the timestamp columns for almost all files. Almost. Two of those files remain unchanged and still show the decimal separator from the old setting:
I'm loading data from text file separated by TAB and i got the error below for some lines. Event the column is CLOB data type is there a limitation of the size of a CLOB data type. The error is:
Record 74: Rejected - Error on table _TEMP, column DEST. Field in data file exceeds maximum length
I'm using SQL Loader and the database is oracle 11g r2 on linux Red hat 5. Here are the line causing the error from my data file and my table description for test:
create table TEMP ( CODE VARCHAR2(100), DESC VARCHAR2(500), RATE FLOAT, INCREASE VARCHAR2(20), COUNTRY VARCHAR2(500), DEST CLOB, [code]........
I'm trying to create a store procedure that will accept a username from a flat file but i don't know how to do read file into store procedure.
Below is a sample store procedure by itself i created to add user which created okay but when i execute I got the error displayed below.
create or replace procedure addUsers(userNam in varchar2) is begin EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'CREATE USER'||userNam||'IDENTIFIED BY "pass1234" DEFAULT TABLESPACE USERS'||'QUOTA "1M" ON USERS'|| 'PASSWORD EXPIRE'; end addUsers; /
I have a text file called ReturnedFile.txt. This is a comma separated text file that contains records for two fields.... Envelope and Date Returned.
At the same time, I have a table in Oracle called Manifest. This table contains the following fields:
Envelope
DateSentOut DateReturned
I need to write something that imports the ReturnedFile.txt into a temporary Oracle table named UploadTemp, and then compares the data in the Envelope field from UploadTemp with the Envelope field in Manifest. If it's a match, then the DateReturned field in Manifest needs updated with the DateReturned field in UploadTemp.
I've done this with SQL Server no problem, but I've been trying for two days to make this work with Oracle and I can't figure it out. I've been trying to use SQL*Loader, but I can't even get it to run properly on my machine.
I did create a Control file, saved as RetFile.ctl. Below is the contents of the CTL file:
LOAD DATA INFILE 'C:OracleTestReturnedFile.txt'
APPEND INTO TABLE UploadTemp FIELDS TERMINATED BY "'" ( ENVELOPE, DATERETURNED )
If I could get SQL*Loader running, below is the code I came up with to import the text file and then to do the compare to the Manifest table and update as appropriate:
The problem here is , When you try to import to a table which has same columns . I skipped the first line when loading . The issue here is the second field is getting split in to the two columns . for e.g. :- Default goes to Child and Remaining goes to the Alias.
infarct there is a tab at the end of the each line. How to set the Sql loader settings correctly so that I can populated the end column in CHILD column only.!!!!
I have a csv file extracted from mainframe which has to be loaded into oracle using sqlldr utility.The numbers are in the format +0000003333, -0000003232.44 etc
I have to convert it to 3333 and -3232.44 and insert into the table.
I have used syntax like
Load file....append into table (t_num expression "to_number(':tnum,'99999.999')")
I have a query which returns nearly 20k rows, as per the requiremnet we need to append all these rows in specific format and insert into single clob column.in the below procedure test_clob.textt is clob field.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE pro_test v_mas_seq NUMBER (9); v_gov_total NUMBER (20, 2); v_emp_total NUMBER (20, 2); v_text_exp CLOB; v_pageaccess VARCHAR2 (15); v_dto NUMBER (7) := 4011486; v_batchno NUMBER (20) := [code]....
I am trying to spool data from tables into flat files. I am using the following scripts to accomplish it
1. A cmd file (windows) that makes a call to a sql file 2. The SQL file which generates another query file at the run time, depending upon the table name passed to it 3. The run time query file , that executes the final query and spools the data into a txt file | delimited
For e.g. :
Actual command passed C:Spool_utilityspool_utility TABLE_NAME
set echo off SET newpage 0 SET feedback off SET linesize 32767 set pagesize 0 [code]........
The above file generates a table_name.sql file with the actual table name at run time and gets executed and the output is written to the table_name.txt file.
This works perfectly fine. But the issue is when someone passes some wrong table name or if there is a actual run time error while executing the query , the error with details itself itself gets written to the end spool file.
For e.g. : if i do this just to generate an error and execute it from command line, the query generates an error and writes the error to the spool file , but at the command prompt where I executed the command I do not see any error and the process seems to have run perfectly well
set xxx on xxx off as above
spool &1.sql;
Prompt Select * from &1 where rownum><10---this will cause the issue
spool off set termout ON @ &1
EXIT
Eg of spool file generated :
from table_name WHERE rownum><=10 * ERROR at line 62: ORA-00936: missing expression
My question is, is there any way i can capture this runtime error and return this error to my calling sql script spool_utility.sql and then propagate it to the calling command file and do some tasks for eg removing the spool file and writing the actual error to a log file . Basically any way to know at my OS calling level that the entire spooling operation was unsuccessful.

I am migrating data from a Solid Database to Oracle, I am using Flat Files to do that.
1.- I download the data to flat files from Solid 2.- I move the files to Oracle server 3.- I upload the data to Oracle
Now, I have done the 90% of the data base, but I have found some tables that has description columns and in this description the users writes enters, so when I try to upload the data to Oracle SQL loader cannot recognize this characters.
Example:
'25','0.','5.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','','' '26','0.','2.','0.','0.','0.','0.','3.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','','' '27','0.','1.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','','' '28','0.','1.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','','' '29','0.','38.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','','' '30','0.','13.','0.','0.','0.','0.','0.','6.','0.','6.','0.','0.','|SE RECHAZA B20CS50SNW ^M ^M SE RECHAZAN CINCO PZAS ^M DOS MOD.

SQL> desc stg_query_overflow Name Null? Type ----------------------------------------- -------- ---------------------------- HOSTNAME VARCHAR2(50) NPSID NUMBER NPSINSTANCEID NUMBER OPID NUMBER
[code]....
Here's my controlfile:
load data infile '/u01/tony/server_name/query_overflow.dat' badfile '/opt/oracle/tony/sql_dir/bad/server_name_query_overflow.bad' discardfile '/opt/oracle/tony/sql_dir/discard/server_name_query_overflow.dsc' append into table stg_query_overflow
[code]....
Here's a sample of data that I can't load into the table via sqlldr:
Record 272: Rejected - Error on table STG_QUERY_OVERFLOW, column NPSID. ORA-01722: invalid number Record 273: Rejected - Error on table STG_QUERY_OVERFLOW, column NPSID. ORA-01722: invalid number
As you can see, sqlldr is interpreting this vertical sql code as the npsid column, when in fact it is the querytext column. How can I insert each record when some of my data is in this vertical format?
We load large amount of data into multiple tables using sqlldr. Amount of data that we need to load varies according to the situation. We want to estimate the tablespace usage growth due to this data load, so we can verify/extend the tablespaces before the data load. Though, setting to autoextend will work in this case, We want to avoid extending the tablespace during sqlldr executing due to performance.
Our initial attempt was to note the tablespace size before and after executing the sqlldr and use the delta. But this delta was not consistent in different environments for the same amount of data. Different environments mean different oracle servers, different existing sizes of tablespaces, One data file Vs multiple data files etc.
How do we reliably estimate how much tablespace we need for the given amount of data?
