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?
I'm working with sqlldr and i try to insert data from a csv file to a CTL file. One field of my table contains 5 characters but one row has 6 characters in this field, so it's rejected by oracle. (Logical, you can't insert 6 chars in a 5 chars field)
an error is visibly returned, so i wondered how you could catch the value of this error?is it a code? a message?
I'd like to add to my script a condition so that the end of the script would continue even if this error code is returned for that CTL execution.
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
My requirement is to load the data from feed file into two tables based on the value of a column in feed file.
say column in feed file is "Activity_Value" . If the Activity_value is 10, the data from feed file should be loaded into Table A and If the Activity Value is 20 the data from feed file should be loaded into Table B.
CONTROL FILE: LOAD DATA INFILE 'sample.txt' INSERT INTO TABLE TEST_RECORDS WHEN REC_TYPE_HDR='HDR' FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' TRAILING NULLCOLS ( [code]....
The value 603 should have loaded into TRAN_TYPE field or column, instead it loaded into the next field or column LINE_COMP.
I want to insert calculated data while loading the data from sql loader.
eg let say column INTERNAL_TRANSACTION_ID,WAIT_TIME,MESSAGE_GUID,TRS_SIZE,RETURN_MESSAGE_GUID are null in input file then i want to populate column DEV_FLAG as 'U' ELSE 'D'
My control file looks like below but doesn't have DEV_FLAG.
load data BADFILE '/backup/temp/rajesh/RIO/BadFiles/FILENAME' append into table TEMP_rio_RESP_TIME_LND TRAILING NULLCOLS ( INSTALLATION_ID CHAR TERMINATED BY "|" OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"', TRANSACTION_ID CHAR
Next week I will be getting an input file which will contain over 1000 data columns to be loaded into ORACLE. It's about 6,400 characters in length.
My question is...has ever created a huge ctl file like this to be used for SQLLoader, using so many columns? I will be sending certain columns(data) to certain tables, so it's not just going into 1. It will be about 6 tables.
I am recieving errors when trying to load the control file. The errors are as follows:
SQL*Loader-500 Unable to open file (homework.ctl) SQL*Loader-553 file not found SQL*Loader-559 SYstem error: The system cannot find the file specified.
My control file is located directly in the C drive (C:homework.ctl). The control file contains the following
LOAD DATA INFILE 'c:country.dat' APPEND INTO TABLE homework fields terminated by ',' optionally encloded by '"' (country, month, day) WHEN (month='April')
The command I am entering is:
sqlldr system/password control=homework.ctl
I've tried c:homework.ctl, 'c:homework.ctl', and placing the file in the BIN folder of Oracle.
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 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?
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 )
The problem here is , When you try to import to a table which has same columns . I skipped the first line when loading . The issue here is the second field is getting split in to the two columns . for e.g. :- Default goes to Child and Remaining goes to the Alias.
infarct there is a tab at the end of the each line. How to set the Sql loader settings correctly so that I can populated the end column in CHILD column only.!!!!
I successfully loaded a record into table with BFILE data type. However I don't understand how to verify if I did this correctly. I am also suspicious of the value FSSLPB//I. FSSLPB is the directory object name. When I delete the record from the table the BFILE column value defaults to (null) so it seems the table is initialized for accepting bfiles.
I am trying to:
1. Load an external LOB into a staging table using SQLLDR, then 2. Using PL/SQL insert the ext LOB into a BLOB column from the staging table to an end user table (or application table).
I am overwhelmed with reading docs and not getting the complete picture for different approaches to loading into Oracle.
select to_char(exp_Date,'Mon-YYYY') dt, count(*) from exp_main where exp_type like 'Income%Photo%' group by to_char(exp_Date,'Mon-YYYY') order by exp_date
When I run this I get :not a GROUP BY expression
If I remove the order by, it works fine.
Is there a way to order by since the output of the query is character-sorted.
I did search online most have suggested to use order by column_name. But does not work for me.
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'm studying abt SQL*Loader. All I've learn it needs to have:
1. One text input file 2.Control file 3.Bad file...
But I'm confused where to put the input file...where to put the control file in which format and in control file what should I write...
My oracle version is:
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.3.0 - Prod PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.3.0 - Production CORE 10.2.0.3.0 Production TNS for 32-bit Windows: Version 10.2.0.3.0 - Production NLSRTL Version 10.2.0.3.0 - Production
I want to export the oracle data into an excel sheet. I have written the code by using UTL_FILE package. but i am getting the output as shown in the screen shot(without formatting the column size as the width of the data it has). But I want the output column width to be set according to the size of the data automatically.
i need to export master data in excel sheets to our database and we use toad too. How i can export the data with the use of macros in excel. how i can export data from excel to oracle.
I'm using Oracle Database 11g R2 need to upload Telecom CDRs to the database on daily basis , it's huge data and changeable , an example of my file in linux Redhat 5 server as below ,
there is no problem with this i think i can use SQLLDR to upload this file , but the problem here the positions of the columns in the file could change depending on user behavior it could be the first row comes in the third row or any row and maybe more rows appears ,
this is sample of the file i could be more than 100 rows , and the position of the field and field names could be change every time depending on the Subscriber usage , is there any way to upload the file but after checking the field name in the file and matching to corresponding column name in the table .
We are trying to import data into existing tables in a schema using data pump
However the foreign key tables are being imported first and then the master table data thus violating the constraints
Apparently it seems larger tables are being imported first regardless of referential integrity constraints thus causing constraint violation (contrary to my understanding)
Is it a normal behaviour during data pump import?
Is it possible that the keys being sequence generated are causing this?
As I understand import will commit after each table In that case can we defer commit at all at the expense of large undo, set constraints to deferrable and try the import?
i have exported data from excel. data is exported successfully but with it some characters are also joined. it happened with every row in the table. what is to be done to remove it? and what to do with columns whose data type is number? Data is as follows underlined are the char. which are joined while transfer
I have been trying to inset an excel spreadsheet into oracle. I can import everything fine but whenever I need to import a sheet that includes dates it does not work.
Is there a special formatting I need to do with excel(I have tried just about every date format in excel and tried matching the date style to the one in oracle and tried doing the opposite)? I have tried every step that I can possibly think of.
whenever I format the Date in the Oracle loader it gives me the Success message for the dates but still fails to load? ive also tried many format with the oracle loader.
