Server Utilities :: SQLLDR / Dates And Null Columns?
Nov 10, 2010
I am experiencing somewhat same issue...but have been unable to resolve it(new to Oracle) I am getting the infile from flat file(data dump from SQL) using sqlldr to upload data to the Oracle table...since the data is already in the flat file...I cannot do anything in the SQL to pre-format the data...
Sample of ERROR I am getting - Column CREATE_DATE which has date and time - happens to other date time columns also if remove the CREATE_DATE from Control file(happens to every single line of record):
==========================================
Record 2: Rejected - Error on table LGCY_CHS.METS_CHS_USER_PRIV, column CREATE_DATE.
ORA-01841: (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0
I want to load lakhs of records into a table. My problem is when after loading the ¼ of records my process is abend due to the size of my rollback segment area. I don't have an option to increase it. So, Is there any way to go for intermediate commits when I am using the imp or sqlldr utilities to load the entire data without abend?
I am executing sqlldr from a UNIX shell script (HP box). The data I am loading is coming from a fixed length flat file. I also want to be able to pass a variable from the shell to the loader job to be loaded with the rest of the data into the oracle table. The value being passed will change with each execution of the shell script which is run on a daily basis.
I have 8 columns. Some of them might be null.I want to display all 8 columns in my result. Not null columns will be first and null at the end.Here is a sample data :
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 a CSV file with 100 records and one of the column as FILE_ID. I want to load one unique number for all 100 recs not for every records.
suppose my sequence returns 3 as next val i want to load 3 for all 100 records. How to implement this in control file or sh file . I am using shell script to call sqlldr.

I'm using sqlldr to import geometries into a table. The import runs succesfully, but when I validate to imported geometries using "SDO_GEOM.VALIDATE_GEOMETRY_WITH_CONTEXT", it gives an error on empty geometries (or supossedly empty).
When I select to columns using sqlplus, the geometry column isn't entirely empty. After I set the geometry = null, the geometry is really empty. (see screenshot)
Question: How do I import empty geometries values properly, so that it's really empty My guess is that I have to alter to ctrl-file, like NULLIF
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')")
I have written a shell script that will execute a procedure. The input parameters are constant.
#!/bin/ksh sqlplus user@server.com<<EOF set serveroutput on; var Return_Code number; var Return_Message varchar2(4000); exec test_pkg.Insert_test('IDD', null, 'BATCH',:Return_Code, :Return_Message);
Now I have to call same procedure but the input is a csv file.
Is there a way to call a procedure using csv file, I cannot load the table using SQL Loader because there is a complicated logic.For every row in CSV there should be 3 rows inserted into table and 2 rows updated.
As of JAN 2, three rows have to be inserted with dates JAN2, JAN 3, JAN 4 and 2 rows ( 3ODEC and 29DEC have to be updated). Also these days have to be business days.
So all this code is in procedure that uses a DB2 package for business dates.Instead of using sql ldr , if would like pass the csv file as input param.
SQL> desc stg_query_overflow Name Null? Type ----------------------------------------- -------- ---------------------------- HOSTNAME VARCHAR2(50) NPSID NUMBER NPSINSTANCEID NUMBER OPID NUMBER
[code]....
Here's my controlfile:
load data infile '/u01/tony/server_name/query_overflow.dat' badfile '/opt/oracle/tony/sql_dir/bad/server_name_query_overflow.bad' discardfile '/opt/oracle/tony/sql_dir/discard/server_name_query_overflow.dsc' append into table stg_query_overflow
[code]....
Here's a sample of data that I can't load into the table via sqlldr:
Record 272: Rejected - Error on table STG_QUERY_OVERFLOW, column NPSID. ORA-01722: invalid number Record 273: Rejected - Error on table STG_QUERY_OVERFLOW, column NPSID. ORA-01722: invalid number
As you can see, sqlldr is interpreting this vertical sql code as the npsid column, when in fact it is the querytext column. How can I insert each record when some of my data is in this vertical format?
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.
We load large amount of data into multiple tables using sqlldr. Amount of data that we need to load varies according to the situation. We want to estimate the tablespace usage growth due to this data load, so we can verify/extend the tablespaces before the data load. Though, setting to autoextend will work in this case, We want to avoid extending the tablespace during sqlldr executing due to performance.
Our initial attempt was to note the tablespace size before and after executing the sqlldr and use the delta. But this delta was not consistent in different environments for the same amount of data. Different environments mean different oracle servers, different existing sizes of tablespaces, One data file Vs multiple data files etc.
How do we reliably estimate how much tablespace we need for the given amount of data?
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 sql loader to load data to tables from tab delimeted files.
Here the problem is that the sql loader is not handling null values. If there is any null value in the flat file it is moving the field values to left and loading to the table. I am using NVL function to handle the null values, but it is not working.
My control file is: LOAD DATA INFILE 'C: da_poc_filesSQL_scriptsSourcefilesTRADEGLOBNODE1.TXT' BADFILE 'C: da_poc_filesSQL_scriptsBadfilesTRADEGLOBNODE1.bad' DISCARDFILE 'C:C: da_poc_filesSQL_scriptsDiscardfilesTRADEGLOBNODE1.dsc'

the above error while tryin to run my control file in sqlloader as i need to load the csv data into oracle...what sequence i need to write so that i do not face the above error.
I need to load a file with fields separated by '|^|' and at end of each record has '||*||'.
So in my ctl file what do i mention ? fields terminated by '|^|' ? for the record termination wat should I say? Should I still mention 'trailing null col' in my ctl file...?
Sample data file: Name|^|Age|^|city||*|| john|^|33|^|||*|| james|^||^|nyc||*|| ken|^|44|^| washington||*||
the fields are properly terminated with |^| and the records are terminated with ||*||. Is it true that a file with |^| as field terminator cannot be loaded with sqlldr?
I am having issue with IMPDP on ORACLE VIRTUAL COLUMNS.I am having following table with Virtual column defined with Not null. Expdp is fine without any issue.
DDL : ------ CREATE TABLE alert_hist ( alertky INTEGER NOT NULL, alertcreatedttm TIMESTAMP(6) DEFAULT systimestamp NOT NULL, alertcreatedt DATE GENERATED ALWAYS AS (To_date(Trunc("alertcreatedttm"))) VIRTUAL NOT NULL
When I do the import (IMPDP) it got failed with the following error.
. . imported "TESTSCHEMA"."VALART" 359.1 KB 4536 rows ORA-31693: Table data object "TESTSCHEMA"."ALERT_HIST" failed to load/unload and is being skipped due to error: ORA-39097: Data Pump job encountered unexpected error -1
After that I dropped the Virtual Not null column and recreated that column with Nullable.
DDL : ----- alter table alert_hist drop column alertcreatedt; alter table alert_hist add alertcreatedt DATE GENERATED ALWAYS AS (To_date(Trunc("alertcreatedttm"))) VIRTUAL;
After that I took the expdp and impdp , it went fine with out any issue.
I found the actual dates are mandatory, while the chart tolerates missing planned dates - which is a complete reversal of what actual project data would have.baseline project gantt with parent-child relationship
What I found though is if some planned dates are missing, the generated XML seems to default with data from previous rows.my red lines indicate missing from/to dates (actual data also shown underneath chart) URL.....

I have migrated from postgres to oracle entire databases however some tables have spaces how can they be removed and how can i found out all the tables in a schema with spaces?
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.
