Server Utilities :: Calculated Column Population Using Sql Loader?
Aug 1, 2012
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
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.
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 )
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.
In my table there are 188 column , i compare these with other table to know which column values have changed. i use ora_hash to get hash value and then i compare with other table.
I want to create calculated column but i am unable to create as it says invalid data type.
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]........

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.
INFILE 'sql_4ODS.txt' BADFILE 'SQL_4ODS.badtxt' APPEND INTO TABLE members FIELDS TERMINATED BY "|"
[code]...
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.
structure of control file is
load data BADFILE '/backup/temp/rajesh/RIO/BadFiles/FILENAME' append into table ERS_RIO_SRC TRAILING NULLCOLS ( INSTALLATION_ID CHAR
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.
from Control file, data is getting popupalated in TEST_USER and TEST_TITLE similarly if remove
INTO TABLE TEST_TITLE( TX_SID POSITION(1:3) CHAR, ID_TITLE "get_title_id(:TITLE_NAME)" ,
[code]...
from Control file, TEST_USER and TEST_ROLE is getting populated.
Here RD_ROLE_MASTER script
CREATE TABLE RD_ROLE_MASTER ( "ID_ROLE" NUMBER(38,0) NOT NULL ENABLE, "TX_ROLE_NAME" VARCHAR2(20 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE
[code]...
Here is RD_TITLE_MASTER script CREATE TABLE RD_TITLE_MASTER( "ID_TITLE" NUMBER(38,0) NOT NULL ENABLE, "TX_TITLE_NAME" VARCHAR2(25 BYTE) NOT NULL ENABLE);
Insert into RD_TITLE_MASTER (ID_TITLE,TX_TITLE_NAME) values (7,'RED_LOB_ESCALATION_L1'); what is the problem?
I Have one csv file.i want to load to a table trough sql*loader.but in table 3 column is there.but in the csv file some record hav one semicolumn in last filed like this
we have to load some serious amount of data into an oracle database. We have extracted data out of another database and the number format for negative values is e.g. 50.00- / Positive values doesn't have a plus in e.g. its 50.00.
Is there a way to format the 50.00- to like -50.00 during the load with SQL loader? I was thinking of a regular expression?
I have a text file of 175G with the delimeter as '|*'. I want to import it using sql *loader. I know that sql *loader can load data parallely. I can employ two schemes for importing it using sql *loader
a) with the text file being imported all at once using option parallel = true b) with the single text file being broken down into files of smaller size(say 5G each or more) and then imported in parallel using parallel = true.
I can import it in somewhat powerful server with 128G of ram, 16 intel CPus and abundant hard disk space.Now my question is which option would be better in performance (in terms of time) it takes to import data?I donot have sufficient time to test both of these approaches.
I have a file having 10k of rows and I need to use *sql loader to insert the data into table. Below are the information.
SQL> desc EMPLOYEE Name Type EMP_ID NUMBER(10) -- PrimaryKey EMP_NAME VARCHAR2(30) DEPT_ID NUMBER(10) -- ForeignKey from DEPARTMENT
SQL> desc DEPARTMENT Name Type DEPT_ID NUMBER(10) DEPT_NAME VARCHAR2(30)
myFile.txt ------------ 1,Edward,Account 2,Andrew,Finance 3,Sam, IT
CONTROL FILE (SQLLOADER) ------------ load data infile myFile.txt append into table EMPLOYEE FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' (EMP_ID, EMP_NAME, DEPT_ID ) <--- ?? What should do in here
what should i do in this line because the value that i want is DEPT_ID but the file is giving the DEPART_NAME. If there any sql statement can be used in control file?
