Server Utilities :: Creating SQL Loader Ctl File With Over 1000 Columns?
Dec 3, 2010Next 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.

Server Utilities :: SQL Loader And Control File
Mar 19, 2010I'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.
Server Utilities :: SQL Loader Control File Is Not Working
Jan 28, 2011The 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
Server Utilities :: SQL Loader Unable To Open File Error?
Mar 9, 2012I 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.
Server Utilities :: SQL Loader Handling Different Date Formats In Same CSV File?
Jul 11, 2011I 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
Server Utilities :: Sql Loader - Load Whole File In Oracle Table?
Oct 26, 2012I 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?
Server Utilities :: SQL Loader - Excel File Different Column Order Format?
May 8, 2011I have an Excel spreadsheet that just had a format change. The fourth column is new. Order of columns in Excel is:
oldcol1
oldcol2
oldcol3
oldcol4
newcol
oldcol5
Sqlldr script is in order of the .csv file just listed. Oracle table is in order
oldcol1
oldcol2
oldcol3
oldcol4
oldcol5
newcol
When I run the sqlldr script, the information is loaded:
oldcol1
oldcol2
oldcol3
oldcol4
newcol in oldcol5
so that all the information is loaded incorrectly. Out side of having to change the table, is there anything I can do to make it load correctly?

Server Utilities :: SQL Loader - How To Implement
Jul 7, 2010SQL Loader - How to implement/Best solution.
I have 3 tables with their columns:
- MASTER_TABLE - MASTER_ID, DATA;
- PARENT_TABLE_A - MASTER_ID, DATA;
- PARENT_TABLE_B - MASTER_ID, DATA.
And the file I need to import has lines like the ones below:
MMMASTER_TABLE1
PAPARENT_TABLE_A1
PBPARENT_TABLE_B1
MMMASTER_TABLE2
PAPARENT_TABLE_A2
PBPARENT_TABLE_B2
MMMASTER_TABLE3
PAPARENT_TABLE_A3
PBPARENT_TABLE_B3
The line means:
- 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....
Server Utilities :: Load WKT Using Sql*loader
Mar 10, 2010I 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".
Why and how I can import WKT using sql*loader?

View 4 Replies View RelatedServer Utilities :: SQL Loader With WHEN And DISCARD?
Sep 25, 2012My 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?

Server Utilities :: SQL Loader Number Format
Aug 25, 2011I 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?
Sample Data(testfile.dat):
