Server Utilities :: How To Update Existing Table Using SQL Loader
Sep 30, 2011
I am using a shell script to load unix content to a database.I have captured the unix data to a csv file and I am using a sql loader to inser that csv data to database. following is my ctl file contents.
[b]load data
infile data.csv
into table AVS_LOGS
fields terminated by ','
(
RUNDATETIME,
SERVER,
DIRECTORY,
FILENAME,
LASTUPDATETIMESTAMP
) [/b]
and I am using sql loader command in unix that is [b]sqlldr $CLOGIN control=control.ctl log=test.log[/b]
But this is working only if the table is empty.Now I am looking for something where I do not need to delete the data from table each time. it should update the table.
from Control file, data is getting popupalated in TEST_USER and TEST_TITLE similarly if remove
INTO TABLE TEST_TITLE( TX_SID POSITION(1:3) CHAR, ID_TITLE "get_title_id(:TITLE_NAME)" ,
[code]...
from Control file, TEST_USER and TEST_ROLE is getting populated.
Here RD_ROLE_MASTER script
CREATE TABLE RD_ROLE_MASTER ( "ID_ROLE" NUMBER(38,0) NOT NULL ENABLE, "TX_ROLE_NAME" VARCHAR2(20 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE
[code]...
Here is RD_TITLE_MASTER script CREATE TABLE RD_TITLE_MASTER( "ID_TITLE" NUMBER(38,0) NOT NULL ENABLE, "TX_TITLE_NAME" VARCHAR2(25 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE);
Insert into RD_TITLE_MASTER (ID_TITLE,TX_TITLE_NAME) values (7,'RED_LOB_ESCALATION_L1'); what is the problem?
I Have one csv file.i want to load to a table trough sql*loader.but in table 3 column is there.but in the csv file some record hav one semicolumn in last filed like this
I have a file having 10k of rows and I need to use *sql loader to insert the data into table. Below are the information.
SQL> desc EMPLOYEE Name Type EMP_ID NUMBER(10) -- PrimaryKey EMP_NAME VARCHAR2(30) DEPT_ID NUMBER(10) -- ForeignKey from DEPARTMENT
SQL> desc DEPARTMENT Name Type DEPT_ID NUMBER(10) DEPT_NAME VARCHAR2(30)
myFile.txt ------------ 1,Edward,Account 2,Andrew,Finance 3,Sam, IT
CONTROL FILE (SQLLOADER) ------------ load data infile myFile.txt append into table EMPLOYEE FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' (EMP_ID, EMP_NAME, DEPT_ID ) <--- ?? What should do in here
what should i do in this line because the value that i want is DEPT_ID but the file is giving the DEPART_NAME. If there any sql statement can be used in control file?
I have to have a sequence added to a large(288 million rows) file when I load the file into the table. If I use SQL Loader I can't use direct since I have a trigger for each row for the sequence but I am not sure if an external table will be any faster since the trigger will be firing for each row also. In this scenario is one better than the other ?
I'm trying to load data into a table using SQL Loader but getting a failure error below.

l am loading data i.e text file of huge size into oracle 9i db using sqlldr through command prompt, but my table contains already some data so while loading it shows error as
SQL*Loader-601: For INSERT option, table must be empty.
i cant truncate my table since present data is important.
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 am having a similar problem like above ONLY in UNIX box where my datafile is delimited by "|". The last field is ITM_CMNT declared as VARCHAR2(60) in Oracle. When I have exactly 60bytes in the last field it rejects the record saying actual 61 and max allowed is 60. If i reduce it to < 60bytes then it is stored as a value enclosed with double quotes. The enclosing double quote is on the next line.
"PROC,RAM,FLPY,HD,ACT MTX CLR DSP,D/PCMCIA,TRKBAL,LIT ION BA"
Expected: the one below is exactly 60bytes.
PROC,RAM,FLPY,HD,ACT MTX CLR DSP,D/PCMCIA,TRKBAL,LIT ION BAT LOAD DATA INFILE * INTO TABLE TMPTLI_LAWSON_ITM_MST TRUNCATE FIELDS TERMINATED BY "|" (ITM_NO, HAZ_MAT_CD, ITM_SHRT_DS, ITM_SON "TRIM(:ITM_SON)", ADDED_DT DATE "YYYY-MM-DD", AVL_CD , ITM_CST_AMT, ITM_SLL_AMT, EXCHG_PRC_AMT , ITM_UOM "TRIM(:ITM_UOM)", PCK_QTY INTEGER EXTERNAL, SPC_HNDL_CD "TRIM(:SPC_HNDL_CD)", EFF_DT DATE "YYYY-MM-DD", ITM_CMNT "TRIM(:ITM_CMNT)")
the control file code in this path (c:externalctrl.ctl)
load data infile 'C:externalmy_data.txt' into table emp2 fields terminated by ',' (empno, ename, hiredate, etime, ejob, deptno)
this is the error :

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:
I am facing some challenge while running update query on newly added column in existing table.
Environment Details Oracle 9i, version 9.2.0.6 Os Unix Aix 6.1
No of records in table : 12572770
Below are the step i followed.
1. In table testtablename, I have added new column COLUMNNAME29 with datatype VARCHAR2(8). 2. After adding the new column, i executed the update query to populate the data form COLUMNNAME1 to COLUMNNAME29. 3. The query is executed using COLUMNNAME24 in where clause, to drive query in index based.
SQL> desc testtablename Name Null? Type ----------------------------------------- -------- ---------------------------- COLUMNNAME1 VARCHAR2(8) COLUMNNAME2 CHAR(1) COLUMNNAME3 CHAR(1) COLUMNNAME4 VARCHAR2(8) COLUMNNAME5 VARCHAR2(11)

1. The update query is hanging in database, it's not progressing (In single update, approximately 40000 records will get update) 2. No oracle error thrown in alert log or in session where the query being executed. 3. The event for the query is "db file sequential read". 4. When i update the newly added column COLUMNNAME29 with static value "1", the update completed successfully in few seconds. 5. Then i changed the static value to "1111" and executed the update statement, which result to query hanging in database. 6. I tried to update the existing column(COLUMNNAME1) in table with static value "1111", the update completed successfully.
Below are the queries completed successfully
Update Testtablename Set Columnname29 = '1' Where Columnname24 >= To_Date('01-12-2002 00:00:00', 'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS' ) And Columnname24 < To_Date('01-01-2003 00:00:00', 'DD-MM-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')

Our Testing DB is running in No archive log mode. I did a schema level import by dropping the existing user that contain tables, recreate the user and finished the import. Now they want the old tables back.Is there is any way to recover the old tables?
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
I need to install sql loader separately? I can't find sql loader installer on web.
- 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".
My 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?
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]........

I am using sqlloader for loading the data into database by using csv file.My csv file is delimited by comma in that i am having a column which is having the , and line feeds targeted to load into a long data type.for example as below
descri,dfdfdfd,dfdfdf, sdfsdf, dfsdfd,
i want to move this column data into a single table column.But due to because of delimited "," it is splitting into number of columns
I had a requirement of loading flatfile into staging table using SQL Loader, One of the columns in the the Flat file is having values FALSE or TRUE and my requirement is that I load 0 for FALSE and 1 for TRUE which can be achieved by simple DECODE function...I did use decode and tried to load several times but did not work.
INFILE 'sql_4ODS.txt' BADFILE 'SQL_4ODS.badtxt' APPEND INTO TABLE members FIELDS TERMINATED BY "|"

I did try putting a trim as well as SUBSTR but did not work....the cloumn just doent get any values in the output (just null or say free space)
I have a small problem when I am trying to load data into a table using SQL Loader. The data I am trying to load should be a number, but it is in the format '999,999,999 USD'. When I try to load the data, I am getting an invalid number error, due to the USD (I have already accounted for the thousands seperators). My question is, how can I load the data as a number with USD in the format?
LOAD DATA APPEND INTO TABLE IPGITLREDATA WHEN ITL_REC_TYPE = 'D' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' TRAILING NULLCOLS (
[code].....
The data file might have a value of " D " instead of "D" for ITL_REC_TYPE and ITL_REC_TYPE is in the WHEN clause. How can I check for the trimmed value of ITL_REC_TYPE in the WHEN clause ?
