Server Utilities :: Escape Character For Loading Data Via Sql Loader
Dec 1, 2006
I have a text file which is comma separated with values enclosed in double quotes.
In my text file which I have to load into database, one of the field have the value like
Your "offspring"
When I run my normal sqlloader ctl file, it gives the error as
Record 304: Rejected - Error on table BUYER, column BUYERS_NAME.
no terminator found after TERMINATED and ENCLOSED field
Is there any way I can use some escape character for loading this type of data.

I have to load a fixed width file using sql loader utility. But the records have multiple special characters. writing / modifying the loader utility to load the data.
--Script to create the table
create table t1 (
ip1 varchar2(2),
ip2 number,
ip3 number);
--loader utility
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'c:inputfile.dat'
BADFILE 'c:adfile.bad'
REPLACE
INTO TABLE t1
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '°'
(
ip1POSITION(1:2) CHAR,
ip2POSITION(3:17) INTEGER EXTERNAL ":ip2/100",
ip3POSITION(18:32) INTEGER EXTERNAL ":ip3/100",
)
--data file
9900000000000000000000059762160°
9900009694635473¶00009693856712-
99000024383898654000025664467904
--sql version i am using
SQL*Loader: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production on Wed Mar 7 18:32:33 2012
Copyright (c) 1982, 2002, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.
In the above mentioned data file, records has multiple special characters like '°','¶' ,'-'.
All these special characters have some meaning.
eg: '°' specifies the above column needs to be multiplied by -1
'¶' specifies the above column needs to be multiplied by -0.1
what changes need to be made in loader utility for the same? Also, will there be any change in the utility if I am using higher version of oracle?

Data
Sl#Emp_noNameAddress
00101Tom1/B-XYZ street
00202Jon1/C-XYZ Street
Employee Datafile
001, 01, Tom, 1/B-XYZ street
002,02,Jon, 1/C-XYZ Street
Above is a sample data file. Now I would like to import the data into an Oracle table called employee using Oracle 9i SQL Loader utility. But the table has only 3 fields (Emp_no,Name & Address), so I would like to skip Sl# while loading data. I do not want to manually modify data file. How should I write .ctl file.
Sample .ctl file.
load data
INFILE 'dataEmployee'
BADFILE 'Employee.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'Employee.dis'
into table Employee
fields terminated by ','
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(Emp_no NULLIF Emp_no = BLANKS,
Name NULLIF Name = BLANKS,
Address NULLIF Address = BLANKS
)

After exporting some data to excel, I noticed that on one row all the columns shifted over some. So I queried this record in the database and noticed that the ADDRESS field has some unknown characters at the end of it. They are little squares. I think they are TABS.
2630 LINDEN BLVD, APT. #8G(2 squares are in here)
ADDRESS_1 "TRIM(:ADDRESS_1)",
Besides trimming the data, is there some other function I can use to clean up the address further?

I am trying to load multiple XML files into Oracle DB using SQL Loader. The filenames of the XML files starts with a description and then numbers, where the numbers are different each time.
Here's my CTL file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE XML_TABLE TRUNCATE
xmltype(XML_TABLE)
FIELDS
(
[code]....
I don't want to keep having to go into the ctl file and change the numbers of the xml file. Is there a way where I could just load all .xml files that begins with 'description'? Like maybe
description*.xml

We completed creating a replicate of dB_01 to dB_02 (housed in a single DEV server). But dB_02 had only table structures (no records). What would be our fastest option (tools, commands, etc.) to load more than a thousand new records for each of the 20 tables of dB_02?

I'm not sure if this is so much a SQL Loader problem as it is a database understanding problem, but here it is. I am having trouble loading data into a table (using SQL Loader) due to the fact that I am trying to load data row by row, into corresponding columns.
TestFile.csv
testvalue1, 123445
testvalue2, test
testvalue3, 455321
testvalue4, 65742
testvalue5, 5719
So, using the above data, I am trying to load the value for 'testvalue1' into a column defined as 'testvalue1'; the value for 'testvalue2' into a column defined as 'testvalue2' and so on. From my understanding, SQL loader loads by column not by row, so I am not even sure if this is possible.

Here's my table:
SQL> desc stg_query_overflow
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
HOSTNAME VARCHAR2(50)
NPSID NUMBER
NPSINSTANCEID NUMBER
OPID NUMBER
[code]....
Here's my controlfile:
load data

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:
echo
echo ***** Creating view: "pul_promotion_response"
CREATE or replace VIEW "pul_promotion_response"
(
"promo_rsp_id",
"promo_hist_dtl_id",
"indiv_id",
[code]....
Here's the error(s) I receive in my log file:
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?

we have a Oracle 11g database, but it does not support UTF8 character set. Now we have received a file which contains records with Trade Mark symbol (special character). Now when we are trying to load the record, it is getting loaded with a sign "?". As a result when we try to display record in web application, the application is not able to show the records properly.
