Server Utilities :: Skip Records On Condition SQL Loader
May 4, 2012
I tried to find about sql loader, tried googling and ended up with Orafaq .
1) Is there a way that you can skip few records in the control file.
Assume the control file is loading a file with three records.
CREATE TABLE emp_tab
(
Emp_id NUMBER(15,0),
Name CHAR(25),
Age NUMBER(15,0)
);
The text file is like this name.txt
1;sam;19;
2;jai;22;
;pam;33;
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'C:
ame.txt'
BADFILE 'C:
ame.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'C:
ame.dsc'
APPEND
INTO emp_tab
fields terminated by ";"
TRAILING NULLCOLS
( Emp_id ,
name,
age)
I want to skip the record 3 in the text file as it has no id, is there a way to do this.Can we skip a record based on a condition?
2) What needs to be included in the control file in order to get a return code?
3) Assume the return code = 0 for success and return code = 1 for failure, what will be the return code if 60 out 100 records are loaded and 40 are discarded and written to .bad file?
4) SQL loader does a auto commit, meaning the moment you run the control file, the records are inserted and commited, is there a way to avoid it ?
I have data file emp.dat in that i have 10000 records. My requirement is i want to skip last 100 records when i am loading it into EMP table using SQL *LODER.
I am running Oracle 9 and using sql loader to import text file into table. Can sql loader skips the record which blank line or carriage return? Do I need to set up with options?
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 )
My oracle is sitting on UNIX, i have a sql loader scripts which load the data in oracle at every 10 min and bad files is written into a directory. since the file names are same it overwrite the badfiles in case of error record. i can devise a code to write the bad file with different name. I want to write error record into oracle table, is this possible and how can i achieve ?
I'm calling sql loader recursively to load data from CSV files which has thousands of records in each file. If there are any duplicate records, the sql loader terminates with ORA00001. My query is how to ignore inserting duplicate records and continue with the load.
Most of the posts in forums suggests to use skip command. But i do not think that is a wise option in my case as we cannot predict the maximum error count. more over I have set up ERROR=0 in my code so that the code terminates in case thers is a data error.
any other way to ignore inserting duplicate records into the tables.
My loader start and say commit reach logical records 8 as there are 8 records but donot load them and write them into badfile. there is no logs file generation happing so unable to trace.
I need to load data from a CSV file where one of the CSV values determines how many records should be inserted.
Example of the input data:
KEYWORD;2;REC1_COL1_X,REC1_COL2_X;REC2_COL1_X;REC2_COL2_X KEYWORD;3;REC1_COL1_Y;REC1_COL2_Y,REC2_COL1_Y;REC2_COL2_Y;REC3_COL1_Y;REC3_COL2_Y KEYWORD;4;REC1_COL1_Z;REC1_COL2_Z,REC2_COL1_Z;REC2_COL2_Z;REC3_COL1_Z;REC3_COL2_Z,REC4_COL1_Z;REC4_COL2_Z If the KEYWORD is found, then the next value determines how many value pairs will follow, and therefore how many rows should be created in the affected DB table.
I am running Oracle 9 and using sql loader to import text file into table. Can sql loader skips the record which blank line or carriage return? Do I need to set up with options?
After opening a dynamic cursor, usually fetch hit record into some variables. However, if I do not want to "FETCH INTO " operate Just only skip this record.
DECLARE TYPE weak_cur_type IS REF CURSOR; weak_cur_1 weak_cur_type; weak_cur_2 weak_cur_type; vs_dsql VARCHAR2(2048); vd_create_time DATE; vn_count NUMBER(8); vn_total_amount NUMBER(13);
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 installed oracle 10G complete so I can have everything. But now I cannot run sql loader. I check my oracle devsuitehome directory and I cannot find sqlldr.exe
I need to install sql loader separately? I can't find sql loader installer on web.
- 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....
I 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".
My 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?
The SQL loader somehow is loading only first record. The data file is a csv and the end of line character is a new line. Some text fields have multiple new lines.
Here is my control file
load data infile '/home/devo/c0397105/RuleImport/testLoad/dummyLoad.csv' Truncate into table DUMMY_LOAD_TABLE fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"' ( ID "to_number(:ID)",REQUESTED_GROUP,PURPOSE,COMMENTS) [code]........
We don't have Retail resource type as Dependent System now; the rule will be changed later when Dependent Systems can accept resource types other than application"
I am using sqlloader for loading the data into database by using csv file.My csv file is delimited by comma in that i am having a column which is having the , and line feeds targeted to load into a long data type.for example as below
descri,dfdfdfd,dfdfdf, sdfsdf, dfsdfd,
i want to move this column data into a single table column.But due to because of delimited "," it is splitting into number of columns
I had a requirement of loading flatfile into staging table using SQL Loader, One of the columns in the the Flat file is having values FALSE or TRUE and my requirement is that I load 0 for FALSE and 1 for TRUE which can be achieved by simple DECODE function...I did use decode and tried to load several times but did not work.

I did try putting a trim as well as SUBSTR but did not work....the cloumn just doent get any values in the output (just null or say free space)
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?
LOAD DATA APPEND INTO TABLE IPGITLREDATA WHEN ITL_REC_TYPE = 'D' FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' TRAILING NULLCOLS (
[code].....
The data file might have a value of " D " instead of "D" for ITL_REC_TYPE and ITL_REC_TYPE is in the WHEN clause. How can I check for the trimmed value of ITL_REC_TYPE in the WHEN clause ?
I want to populate totale number of record in the file. Usually i get 10000 records per file and i load them using sql loader.I want to also insert the number of records in file while loading the data in table.
How can i achive it.

I have loaded 14324590 rows into target tables using sql*loader.I used below consideration during the load process.
1) direct=true,parllel=true 2) unrecoverable 3) disable all indexes and triggers.
But, sql loader takes 21 minutes to load 14324590 rows in database? tuning sql loader process? we cannot change data file because it has given by client.
