Server Utilities :: Loading Date Value Into DATE Column?
Oct 18, 2012
I want to load data from a file using sqlldr.I have a table commissions
(
technician_id char(5)
, tech_name char(30)
, Comm_rcd_date DATE
, Comm_Paid_date DATE
, comm_amt number(10,2)
)
my file is

write a ctl file to load this data.
I have the following table intra_trades with t_id as the primary key. There is a trigger on that table that gets the next sequence and inserts it into the t_id column for every insert. I need to load data into that table using SqlLoader as chunks of 3000 rows and return the t_id back the script that Sqlload the data so that it can use that t_id's for the next process in the script.
The problem is that the only unique key on that table is the t_id which has a sequence on it and it is the pk. There can be duplicate rows in that table to meet the business needs for the company. So it is hard to associate the rest of the data in a row with t_id. The only thing I can think of is return the t_ids in the order it inserted so if the script keeps the order of rows in the memory it can associate the tid with the rest of the intra_trades info.How can I make the sqlloader return an array of t_ids that inserted? I need to return the t_ids's in the order it inserted so that the script can associate the t_id with the rest of the rest of the data in a row.
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 )
How can we partition a table based on date if it does not have a date column.
Actually I have to compare two tables on daily basis and fetch few rows from those two tables and enter it to a third table.But both these tables does not have a date column.
I am confused if i need to alter those tables and add date column or if there is some way in which i can compare the data from the two tables for that particular day only and not the whole table data.
My requirment is to find out the period names and transactions which are in valid date formats and are less than sysdate and the non date formats are adjustments made by different users for their transactions
I just want to insert only date without timestamp from the first field TXN_DATE. i.e., i just want 2010-05-18 in my table column.
my table desc is Name Null? Type ----------------------------------------- -------- --------- SEQID NUMBER(5) TXN_DATE NOT NULL DATE TXN_HOUR NOT NULL NUMBER(2) VID NOT NULL NUMBER(5) HID NOT NULL NUMBER(5)
i tried many combination but i couldn't achieve. right now i am able to get only the complete date with timestamp using the following control file.
APPEND INTO PERF_STATS FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' optionally ENCLOSED BY '"' TRAILING NULLCOLS
I have 15 million of records as csv, want to load through sqlloader Is sqlloader is the right option to load high volume of data? I have loaded with 2.5 lac records which has taken 4 mins to load.
I want to load a delimited file that contains many records which contained within the table where I'm going to load a date type field and I need to do this by concatenating three fields
field1 = 1 - this is the day field2 = 11 - this corresponds to the month field3 = 5 - this corresponds to the year
I need is in the field Save as type date 01/11/2005 i don´t know how to do it but I tried as follows but I get error loading.

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 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'm trying to do an export/import process using command prompt and the idea is export a records based on the date condition. and the date will be the parameter. my code is like this:
exp <username>/<password>@<database> file=<table_name>.dmp tables=<source_table> query="where <date> between &start_date AND &end_date";
is it possible to do like this, that it should prompt you to enter the start and end date?
I want to know how to add date/time in export dump file in Linux using parfile script. I keep getting an error "contain an invalid substitution variables"
my parfile is:
Dumpfile = Daily_Full_%U_`date "+%Y%m%d%H%S"`.dmp or Dumpfile = Daily_Full_%U_`%date%`.dmp
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 :
C:>sqlldr scott/tiger control=C:externalctrl.ctl

I've started using Apex 4.2(new to Apex). I have built a form based on a table with a date column on it. The form allows update on all fields/columns of the base table. For the date field/column, the goal is to present the user with sysdate on load and update the date with sysdate if the record is changed any of the fields. How can I accomplish this?
I have a file which i am loading , the last column is being loaded with special character which looks like sqare shape character for all the rows.How can i prevent it to load as it is not present in the file
data in file
Department|2|Tranport for London|Rail & Underground|ER|ER|ER|ER|ER|ER|555555555|Owner 8|8
the data once loaded for the last column on which is for above example last column value 8 will be loaded with 8 and square share character.
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?
