Server Utilities :: Field / Record Terminator - Trailing Null Col
Oct 7, 2010
I need to load a file with fields separated by '|^|' and at end of each record has '||*||'.
So in my ctl file what do i mention ? fields terminated by '|^|' ? for the record termination wat should I say?
Should I still mention 'trailing null col' in my ctl file...?
Sample data file:
Name|^|Age|^|city||*||
john|^|33|^|||*||
james|^||^|nyc||*||
ken|^|44|^|
washington||*||
the fields are properly terminated with |^| and the records are terminated with ||*||. Is it true that a file with |^| as field terminator cannot be loaded with sqlldr?
We are migrating a proc application as described below.
Old Env: UNIX Old DB: Oracle 8i
New Env: Linux New DB: Oracle 11g
New modules are successfully compiled in Linux environment. But we are facing issues in writing the output of VARCHAR datatype to a file.
find below the extract of code. EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION; varchar mcolmnvarchar[4]; EXEC SQL END DECLARE SECTION;
EXEC SQL DECLARE crs CURSOR FOR SELECT NVL(colmn,' ') FROM table1
memset(mcolmnvarchar.arr,'�',4); //Was added for only Linux migration. Not present in unix env.
EXEC SQL FETCH c1 INTO :mcolmnvarchar;
cout << "Data at Stage one"<< mcolmnvarchar << endl; mcolmnvarchar.arr[mcolmnvarchar.len]='�'; cout << "Data at Stage two"<< mcolmnvarchar << endl; fprintf(fptr,"%-4s",mcolmnvarchar.arr);
Above code works absolutely fine in Unix env with Oracle 8i. But with Linux env & Oracle 11g it is not working. No compilation or run time errors. Data at Stage one prints the output of database properly. But after null terminator code, Data at Stage two statement prints without any value. Value is lost after null terminator code.
I am loading data file using SQL Loader in TOAD 10.5.1.3 in Oracle 10g using the control file below and loading data into 2 tables post1.thead and post1.tdetl. THEAD contains item level transaction and TDETL is detail level when a transaction has a discount or promo attached to for that item. When the
LOAD DATA APPEND INTO TABLE post1.thead WHEN (1:5) = 'THEAD' TRAILING NULLCOLS (file_type POSITION(1:5)CHAR,
[code]....
A particular THEAD value may have 0, 1 or many TDETL corresponding values.below is a sample data file. When the position 21 in the TTAIL has a value of 1 or 2, then we know that there is a promo or discount applicable to the ITEM (THEAD).
What I want to acheive is to accurately reflect a TDETL to its corresponding THEAD, as both THEAD and TDETL are loaded into separate tables. How can we have the 2 records correlated?
I am using sql loader to load data to tables from tab delimeted files.
Here the problem is that the sql loader is not handling null values. If there is any null value in the flat file it is moving the field values to left and loading to the table. I am using NVL function to handle the null values, but it is not working.
My control file is: LOAD DATA INFILE 'C: da_poc_filesSQL_scriptsSourcefilesTRADEGLOBNODE1.TXT' BADFILE 'C: da_poc_filesSQL_scriptsBadfilesTRADEGLOBNODE1.bad' DISCARDFILE 'C:C: da_poc_filesSQL_scriptsDiscardfilesTRADEGLOBNODE1.dsc'

I am experiencing somewhat same issue...but have been unable to resolve it(new to Oracle) I am getting the infile from flat file(data dump from SQL) using sqlldr to upload data to the Oracle table...since the data is already in the flat file...I cannot do anything in the SQL to pre-format the data...
Sample of ERROR I am getting - Column CREATE_DATE which has date and time - happens to other date time columns also if remove the CREATE_DATE from Control file(happens to every single line of record): ========================================== Record 2: Rejected - Error on table LGCY_CHS.METS_CHS_USER_PRIV, column CREATE_DATE. ORA-01841: (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0
the above error while tryin to run my control file in sqlloader as i need to load the csv data into oracle...what sequence i need to write so that i do not face the above error.
I am having issue with IMPDP on ORACLE VIRTUAL COLUMNS.I am having following table with Virtual column defined with Not null. Expdp is fine without any issue.
DDL : ------ CREATE TABLE alert_hist ( alertky INTEGER NOT NULL, alertcreatedttm TIMESTAMP(6) DEFAULT systimestamp NOT NULL, alertcreatedt DATE GENERATED ALWAYS AS (To_date(Trunc("alertcreatedttm"))) VIRTUAL NOT NULL
When I do the import (IMPDP) it got failed with the following error.
. . imported "TESTSCHEMA"."VALART" 359.1 KB 4536 rows ORA-31693: Table data object "TESTSCHEMA"."ALERT_HIST" failed to load/unload and is being skipped due to error: ORA-39097: Data Pump job encountered unexpected error -1
After that I dropped the Virtual Not null column and recreated that column with Nullable.
DDL : ----- alter table alert_hist drop column alertcreatedt; alter table alert_hist add alertcreatedt DATE GENERATED ALWAYS AS (To_date(Trunc("alertcreatedttm"))) VIRTUAL;
After that I took the expdp and impdp , it went fine with out any issue.
I have table named purchage with 2 columns (order_no number,order_date date) in my database. I want to load the data from a file into that table. The below is the file format
100,4/3/2013 1:18:18 AM 101,4/3/2013 1:18:18 AM 102,4/3/2013 1:18:18 AM 103,4/3/2013 1:18:18 AM 104,4/3/2013 1:18:18 AM 105,4/3/2013 1:18:18 AM 106,4/3/2013 1:18:18 AM
how to load the date filed along with the time stamp.
I need to create a query that returns record by record a field qty_progr with the cumulate qty considering previous records. The result should be the following:
The SQL loader somehow is loading only first record. The data file is a csv and the end of line character is a new line. Some text fields have multiple new lines.
Here is my control file
load data infile '/home/devo/c0397105/RuleImport/testLoad/dummyLoad.csv' Truncate into table DUMMY_LOAD_TABLE fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"' ( ID "to_number(:ID)",REQUESTED_GROUP,PURPOSE,COMMENTS) [code]........
We don't have Retail resource type as Dependent System now; the rule will be changed later when Dependent Systems can accept resource types other than application"
I need to insert these two records into below tables(NGF_REC_LINK,MDU_19).I got below mentioned result while trying to execute my ctl file (ngf_test.ctl )
For 1st record : I am getting beloe error
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table NGF_REC_LINK, column TABLENAME.Field in data file exceeds maximum length
For 2nd record : Because inputs filed is missing in file,Data is miss arranged into table like
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 have encountered a weird (or maybe not weird at all but unexplainable from my point of view) behavior from Oracle. I have simplified the example as much as possible
This query returns 2 rows as expected:
with edited as (select F101, e_id from (select 'Test' F101, -1 e_id from dual union all select 'Test1' F101, -2 e_id from dual) input_clob), distinct_intermediate_edited as
[code]...
But this one (with only one row in input_clob) returns one row (as expected) but with null on e_id (why?):
with edited as (select F101, e_id from (select 'Test' F101, -1 e_id from dual) input_clob), distinct_intermediate_edited as (select e.f101, e.e_id from edited e
[code]...
If I change the join condition with and nvl(e.E_id,0) = nvl(e_id,0) both cases work as I expect (e_id = -1 for second query) but I simply want an explication for this behavior.
I have a central entity Address. I have other entities that could have many addresses (Organization, Person for eg). The relation between Organization and Address is one to many and the relation between Person and Address is also one to many.When I modelled it, I ended up having two foreign keys in Address (Organization ID and Person ID).The question that is being raised by the client is "As only one of the foreign key would be populated on each record, the other would be null". The client is not comfortable having nullable foreign keys as they won't be able to maintain integrity. One of the requirement is that No orphan records in Address. By modeling the way above, there are chances for having some orphanned records. I tried to explain that this would be controlled by the program to ensure that no orphan records would be there but their question is that what if someone goes directly and enters a record in Address table without any foreign key value (I dont know who would have an insert/update access on the tables other than the dba's).
I am trying to get some pros and cons on using the nullable foreign keys.
I have a BI Suite implementation on one server. And a database with ApEx on another server.
I want to call a BIP report from within my ApEx application using the webservices (runReport) available in BIP 11g.
I used soapUI to test my webservice. Result : OK
When called from within ApEx, ApEx gives me a succes message but the report isn't generated. Instead the console on the BIP server shows the following error:
<Sep 12, 2012 10:28:37 PM BST> <Error> <org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanPropert yTarget> <BEA-000000> <Could not convert null to bean field 'sizeOfDataChunkDown load', type int>
'sizeOfDataChunkDownload' is a field of the webservice that is left empty. That indeed is the only difference between my soapUI test and the ApEx situation. In soapUI I removed all empty fields. In ApEx this does not seem possible...
Some extra information:
- the webservice is created on this WSDL : /xmlpserver/services v2/ReportService?wsdl
- it's defined as a SOAP v2
- no basic authentication
- the reports are defined in the BIP environment; not in ApEx
I have master detail block just consider Forms A as a master and Forms B as a Detail,when my cursor is in form A i try to save the record, it is saved Form A and putting Form B data as null, i have to put a validation to stop this activity, i have to inform the user "Provide values for form B text item",
I created a post block trigger in form A
Begin
If (:FORM-B.TEXT1 is null)l or( :FORM-B.TEXT2 is null) then Message( 'provide value for FORM-B'); Message( 'provide value for FORM-B'); raise form_trigger_failure; ELSE NULL; END IF END;
Im Getting error message and navigation got stopped in last item of form A itself,i need to show error message and cursor control should move to first item of form -B which trigger i have to use for this.
I'm new to SQL Developer and am using the wizard to import a dataset with a non-standard row terminator.The row terminator is essentially 2 spaces back to back.
In SQL Server I specified the following in the SQL Server wizard and it worked:
From this data, I need a record for each individual month,quarter,etc.:
select y.*,MonthNo,Add_Months(StartDate,MonthNo*Frequency) from ( ... Code to generate data ... ) y,(select rownum MonthNo from dual connect by level <= Cnt)
This returns ORA-00904: "CNT": Invalid Identifier. I don't get an error if I use a constant:
select y.*,MonthNo,Add_Months(StartDate,MonthNo*Frequency) from ( ... Code to generate data ... ) y,(select rownum MonthNo from dual connect by level <= 3)
How can I get this to work using the "CNT" value instead of a constant?
create table t1 (c1 number,c2 number); CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE REC IS RECORD ( R1 T1%ROWTYPE, R2 NUMBER );
I'm trying to create one RECORD type with all the columns from table T1 + one new field R2. But gives me an error.
The point to use T1%ROWTYPE and not to hardcode the columns from T1, is due to if we add a new column to T1, is created when is executed again RECORD definition and not to add the column.
