1) can we use a CSV file as a Data file in any format (fixed, delimited...) of Sql loader. I tried, but not succeeded.
2) if not then tell me the reason for it....
3) Also tell me is there any restriction on using the file format for a datafile?
below query:
1) What are the terminators we can use and cant be used, except ','. eg - '|' - this shows error.
2) What are the file format can be used in DATAFILE other than txt file. Eg - excel, word... And how to terminate the values in that files...
I am using perl script to dynamically generate the control file.If I have data in the control file as well as in the datafile, how would i write the control file in that case. Is the below one correct?
load data
INFILE '*'
INFILE '/export/home/test/test.csv'
INSERT INTO TABLE EMP fields
terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"'
trailing nullcols
( empno, empname, sal, deptno )
[code]....
Is there any way that if my control file contains half of the data and my data file contains the other half of the data can i club this data into a logical record in the control file to populate the DB?
My exact 2nd requirement is, my DB contains 5 cols and for 1 col the data is common(countryName) which i have to pass to the control file dynamically and the .csv file contains the data for the other four cols. How could i combine these in the ctrl file and populate the DB?
so if the DB contains CountryName, empid, ename, sal and dept..I will get the CountryName to the ctrl file and csv contains the data for empid, ename, sal and dept. How would i combine these data into a logical record and populate the DB?
My sql loader is returning a code 2 but not creating a bad file for the rejected records. also logs look good.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm having a problem with SQL loader and the control file. I want to load a delimited file. The script will eventually be automated where the file name is passed in to the script, it's not a static name.
It's a simple SQL loader Unix script that I have created as follows
Unix file called test_load
# Auto Load
#
#
export data_file=/dev/test_$1$2.csv;
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/oracle/product/10.2.0;
export ORACLE_SID=XXX;
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin;
sqlldr userid=XXX/XXX data=$data_file
control=/dev/cntrl/test.ctl
errors=99999
bad=/dev/bad/test_$1$2_$$.bad
log=/dev/logs/test_$1$2_$$.log
the top of my control file is as follows
load data
truncate
into table test
fields terminated by "|"
when record_type = 'AA'
(
running at the prompt ./test_load myload 20100319
The following error occurs
SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 5.
Expecting "(", found keyword when.
when record_type = 'AA'
^
I believe the format of my control file is correct but for some reason it won't load.
The reason "why sql loader's CONTROL FILE is not working, if that location has space in between"
E.g. - C:practice for sqlloadercontrol1.ctl
But it works if we remove the space in between the path as below:
E.g. - C:practice_for_sqlloadercontrol1.ctl
Next week I will be getting an input file which will contain over 1000 data columns to be loaded into ORACLE. It's about 6,400 characters in length.
My question is...has ever created a huge ctl file like this to be used for SQLLoader, using so many columns? I will be sending certain columns(data) to certain tables, so it's not just going into 1. It will be about 6 tables.
I am recieving errors when trying to load the control file. The errors are as follows:
SQL*Loader-500 Unable to open file (homework.ctl)
SQL*Loader-553 file not found
SQL*Loader-559 SYstem error: The system cannot find the file specified.
My control file is located directly in the C drive (C:homework.ctl). The control file contains the following
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'c:country.dat'
APPEND INTO TABLE homework
fields terminated by ',' optionally encloded by '"'
(country, month, day)
WHEN (month='April')
The command I am entering is:
sqlldr system/password control=homework.ctl
I've tried c:homework.ctl, 'c:homework.ctl', and placing the file in the BIN folder of Oracle.
I have another interesting SQL Loader issue. I have created 2 prior topics RE: "Trapping SQL Loader summary counts" and "Using Sql Loader issue". This new issue is along the same lines, but unfortunately the same input csv file has a date field that is has a different input format..
The 10G Oracle Table looks like...
---------------------------
CREATE TABLE PTLIVE.MODULE_CSV_LOADS
( MODULE_ID NUMBER (20),
MODULE_TAGNUMBER VARCHAR2(100),
MODULE_SERIAL_NUMBER NUMBER (20,0),
[code]...
My initial control file looks like...
-----------------
OPTIONS (SKIP=1)
load data
infile 'J:GrowerRound_ModulesCrop2011ProcessedBatch_2011Jul12_081326_746563.csv'
BADFILE 'J:GrowerRound_ModulesCrop2011LogsBatch_2011Jul12_081326_746563.bad'
[code]...
The input csv data file (for this example) contains 3 records. The first is a heading record that is skipped. The 2nd record
is correct and the field entitled "GMT Date" contains a value of
"16/05/2011". The 3rd record, however, has a date of "2011/5/18", which get rejected by the above control file, as the output SQL Loader log indicates...
Record 2: Rejected - Error on table PTLIVE.MODULE_CSV_LOADS, column DATEPICKED.
ORA-01861: literal does not match format string
Now we will be receiving literally hundreds of these csv files and in testing I have found that when I open the csv file (the default is Excel), and Excel must alter its display, as all date appear 100% okay. However, upon opening the csv file with Wordpad, I discovered the dates in the same file had these 2 different formats. So the control file was attempting to concat the input csv file "GMT Date" in one format with the input "GMT_TIME" to load the output value into the Oracle table column
"DATEPICKED" ... but different date formats cause some records to be rejected.
It would be super if SQl Loader could use a IF clause or an OR clause to execute loading the date in one or more input formats. We only expect the 2 foramts DD/MM/YYYY or YYYY/MM/DD....however, there could be 6 different combinations in theory.
I thought about writing a Function or Procedure to analyst the input date and output a standard one to load into the Oracle column
I am having query regarding sql loader. my data file is comm(,) seperated and I want to load the whole file in oracle table 'bill_temp' except 1st column data of data file.
e.g.
File name: bill_file.dat
fields seperated by comma ','
values are like
emp_id,emp_name,emp_sal,join_date
oracle table bill_temp having the below column:
emp_name,emp_sal,join_date
Here I want load the emp_name,emp_sal and join_date into oracle table bill_temp.
emp_id should not get loaded into table.
Is there any way to skip the loading of particular column data from data file into table?
I have an Excel spreadsheet that just had a format change. The fourth column is new. Order of columns in Excel is:
oldcol1
oldcol2
oldcol3
oldcol4
newcol
oldcol5
Sqlldr script is in order of the .csv file just listed. Oracle table is in order
oldcol1
oldcol2
oldcol3
oldcol4
oldcol5
newcol
When I run the sqlldr script, the information is loaded:
oldcol1
oldcol2
oldcol3
oldcol4
newcol in oldcol5
so that all the information is loaded incorrectly. Out side of having to change the table, is there anything I can do to make it load correctly?

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 added a datafile in undo tablespace (its an ASM database). I doubt that since I added the datafile to undo tablespace, I am getting this error.
I have an excel table whose data i have to transfer in oracle.
I did the following steps:
1) converted excel data in CSV format.
2) Created a control file test.ctl
LOAD DATA

INSERT INTO TABLE idb_price_list
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' TRAILING NULLCOLS
(group_no,type,description,amt,flag)
3) when i run the sql loader utility, i get an error "sql-524: partial record found at end of datafile"
I mistakenly added a datafile to a tablespace which is asm, however the datafile was created in a default location and not the asm location:
alter tablespace pdaiidata1 add datafile '<filename>' size 2048M;
What I should have done:
alter tablepsace <tablespace_name> add datafile '+DATA1' size 2048M;
Is there any way to move this filesystem datafile into the asm tablespace? In previous Oracle versions, I've taken a tablespace offline, moved a datafile, renamed it, then brought the tablespace back online. Can I do something similar here in this situation?
I installed oracle 10G complete so I can have everything. But now I cannot run sql loader. I check my oracle devsuitehome directory and I cannot find sqlldr.exe

SQL Loader - How to implement/Best solution.
I have 3 tables with their columns:
- MASTER_TABLE - MASTER_ID, DATA;
- PARENT_TABLE_A - MASTER_ID, DATA;
- PARENT_TABLE_B - MASTER_ID, DATA.
And the file I need to import has lines like the ones below:
MMMASTER_TABLE1
PAPARENT_TABLE_A1
PBPARENT_TABLE_B1
MMMASTER_TABLE2
PAPARENT_TABLE_A2
PBPARENT_TABLE_B2
MMMASTER_TABLE3
PAPARENT_TABLE_A3
PBPARENT_TABLE_B3
The line means:
- 1 - M or P: indicates which table to insert: MASTER or PARENT;
- 2 - M or A or B: indicates MASTER, PARENT_A, PARENT_B;
- 3:18 - DATA.
Based on the values above, what I need to do is:
1. Load a line to MASTER_TABLE;
2. Load a line to PARENT_TABLE_A pointing to its relative line in MASTER_TABLE;
3. Load a line to PARENT_TABLE_B pointing to its relative line in MASTER_TABLE;
4. In the original file line, there is nothing I can use to join a MASTER line with a PARENT line.
The result would be:
MASTER_ID PARENT_DATA
1 PARENT_TABLE_A1
1 PARENT_TABLE_B1
2 PARENT_TABLE_A2
2 PARENT_TABLE_B2
I tried to use both: SEQUENCE and Sequence.NextVall (CurrVal) but they only work when using ROWS=1 and the file I need to load has millions of rows, so I need direct path loading.Also, I read about External Table, but it does not suit my needs because the Application server is not the same as Database server, which is needed by external tables.
in this case is better load the data to a temporary table and then insert to the other tables, I found almost the same question in the topic pointed by the link below: URL....
I want to load geometry into a table using sql*loader. My datafile contains geometry defined as WKT URL...., a standard for geometry and also Oracle has a function called sdo_util.from_wktgeometry.If I'm using a separate 'insert into' statement using this function in sql*plus, there's no problem. But if I'm using the same function in my control-file for sql*loader import, I get a sql*loader-418 error: "bad datafile for column geometrie".
Why and how I can import WKT using sql*loader?

I want to use SQL loader in a procedure..will it be possible to use it in procedure and if yes then how..?
View 4 Replies View RelatedMy data file contains records with RECORD_TYPE '01', '02', '03' and '04' in position (30:31) I use sql loader to load this data into a table. I need to load ONLY rows with RECORD_TYPE ='04'. I have to output all the other rows into a file, so I decided to use DISCARD file. Now, those with RECORD_TYPE ='4' have to be loaded into different columns depending on the value in position (267:268).
So, my ctl file should look something like:
WHEN (30:31) = '04'
into table MYDATA
WHEN (267:268) != 'O '
into table MYDATA
WHEN (267:268) = 'O '
and whatever is not '04' goes to discard file.
I tried to use
into table MYDATA
WHEN (30:31) = '04' and (267:268) != 'O '
into table MYDATA
WHEN (30:31) = '04' and (267:268) = 'O '
but I don't get the right result in terms of the discard file.
Is there any way to put together all these conditions?

1) direct=true,parllel=true
2) unrecoverable
3) disable all indexes and triggers.
But, sql loader takes 21 minutes to load 14324590 rows in database? tuning sql loader process? we cannot change data file because it has given by client.
