My oracle table having 2 fields.
filed1 VARCHAR(500)
field2 NUMBER.
i load data to this table from a file using sqlldr.
what is the proper data type should i use in control-file for both the fields.? i dont mention any datatye in ctl file which is working fine with given dataset.
using SQLLDR: Looking for a control file solution to move past or bypass extra data fields which are not on destination table. Basically if you have 8 tab delimited fields(terminated by ' ') on a data record; but only need to load 5 of the values from the delimited record; is there a way to ignore/bypass the not needed data. Obviously, the answer would be to massage the data at the OS and removed the 3 unnecessary fields.
However my hands are tied by volume,time, and compliancy. I am familiar with using 'FILLER' for the reverse scenario; but not where you have more data available on the record then exists on the table.
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?
how to create control file and how to load the data through command window in our database using sql * loader.i am having structure in my database and .csv file in my desktop.

How to write control file to load this data into the above revenue table.
Is it possible to use where clause to discard one of the item which is not able to fit into column because of the length constraint.
Example:
1.Remove first digit from the item_ID where ITEM_ID IN (12345)
2.Do not load data WHERE ITEM_ID IN (12345)
I'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.
I have a csv file extracted from mainframe which has to be loaded into oracle using sqlldr utility.The numbers are in the format +0000003333, -0000003232.44 etc
I have to convert it to 3333 and -3232.44 and insert into the table.
I have used syntax like
Load file....append into table (t_num expression "to_number(':tnum,'99999.999')")
This gives me an invalid number error.
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
I tried a lot to load data to table from excel(.csv) using sql*loader the oracle version of sql*loader doesn't support the control file created using notepad(.ctl).Though i given a filename with extension as .ctl it seems as a .txt file. Is there any alternate way to create it?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am loading data using sqlldr command in UNIX to an oracle table and want to concatenate timestamp to a file name in the "create_file_name" column in the code below.
I have the below code within the control file..
LOAD DATA
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE TABLEA
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
file_type POSITION(1:5) CHAR,
business_date POSITION(16:23) DATE "YYYYMMDD",
create_file_name "FILE_NAME" EXPRESSION "SELECT TO_CHAR(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(3), 'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS') FROM DUAL")
The load fails with SQL Loader error: "Expecting valid column specification, ",", ")", found keyword EXPRESSION found instead of column. How the timestamp to a filename can be appended?
I am trying to generate dynamic control file, as the files I want to upload are coming from different source and their name is constantly changing but following a fix pattern and naming convention.
I am able to generate dynamic control file through SQL. But while calling from BATCH file, i am unable to sent the file name as parameter.
All the examples i have searched are for UNIX, how to do it with BATCH File in WINDOWS.
I have a control file like following:
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE member
REPLACE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
(
control_id,
name,
address
)
problem is that control_id value is not in data file and I have to assign to each row the same value generated from sequence or from unix variable.
For example, after I run sqlldr, I have to have records in the table like following:
control_id name address
---------- ---- -------
1847 Charlie 250 yonge st
1847 Peter 5 Brookbanks dr
1847 Ben 123 King st
.
.
.
How do I do that?
getting proper value from the file in external table.
How can I get the whole status in STATUS column like completed , Inprogress, incompleted.
Right now, if I gave position like (38:9) full status doesn't show. if I give (38:11) then '|1' is adding in status from the flat file.
BATCH_NO FILE_DATEEMP_ID COMPANY_ID TRANSACTIN_ID FILE_NAME STATUS DOC_NO

The following control file updates multiple rows in database table.
LOAD DATA

replace

There are 21 lines in the xml. So 21 rows are updated in table.update only one row?

I still want to insert row 2 and row 4 into table by defaulting the date. how can I handle this in control file?
I have imported data from excel to oracle 11g. But i found an error like

I have a data in text file which has around 7 laks lines. I need to import those data into a table in oracle then do some process.
Since this job is done by end user, i have created a form with the following process.
Create a single text file from multiple flat files in client system. Run the application from the application server [ which is unix based ] once the text file is uploaded to the server, read the text file line by line and insert into the table.
The above process works perfectly in test eniviroment which I have as stand alone system. When I move this to application server and execute it, the session got killed after an hour and I got network inturpted error.
I would like to know is there any other method instead of reading line by line and insert into a table. I do not want to use the tools like sql Loader etc since I do not want my user to do lot of things.
I have to load data file into a table. And the requirement is as below:

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.
"TO_DATE (TO_CHAR (: field1 ||'/'|| DECODE (: field2, 1, 'JAN', 2, 'FEB', 3, 'MAR', 4, 'APR', 5, 'MAY', 6 , 'JUN', 7, 'JUL', 8, 'AUG', 9, 'SEP', 10, 'OCT', 11, 'NOV', 12, 'DEC': field2 )||'/'|| : field3)) "
We have around 30 million rows in a table which we are extracting through UTIL_FILE and sending this file to somewhere to other systems.
But this extraction taking too much time.
Is there any way out to optimize this process or any new stuff.
Is there some functions to convert the long type field data to varchar2 type?

My requirement is to to truncate the table and load it with the data present in file. In the control file, I used the "TRUNCATE" command as well.In case, if the file has some invalid data and sqlldr fails, my existing data will be lost. Is there any option in which the sqlldr does not TRUNCATE the table in case of a failure.
