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')")
This gives me an invalid number error.
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.
How to execute the SQLLDR, where Data File Reside in another Server?
View 1 Replies View Relatedusing 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.

Is it possible to use where clause to discard one of the item which is not able to fit into column because of the length constraint.
Example:
1.Remove first digit from the item_ID where ITEM_ID IN (12345)
2.Do not load data WHERE ITEM_ID IN (12345)
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
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.
The 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
I tried a lot to load data to table from excel(.csv) using sql*loader the oracle version of sql*loader doesn't support the control file created using notepad(.ctl).Though i given a filename with extension as .ctl it seems as a .txt file. Is there any alternate way to create it?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am loading data using sqlldr command in UNIX to an oracle table and want to concatenate timestamp to a file name in the "create_file_name" column in the code below.
I have the below code within the control file..

file_type POSITION(1:5) CHAR,
business_date POSITION(16:23) DATE "YYYYMMDD",

I am using perl script to dynamically generate the control file.If I have data in the control file as well as in the datafile, how would i write the control file in that case. Is the below one correct?
load data
INFILE '*'
INFILE '/export/home/test/test.csv'
INSERT INTO TABLE EMP fields
terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"'
trailing nullcols
( empno, empname, sal, deptno )
[code]....
Is there any way that if my control file contains half of the data and my data file contains the other half of the data can i club this data into a logical record in the control file to populate the DB?
My exact 2nd requirement is, my DB contains 5 cols and for 1 col the data is common(countryName) which i have to pass to the control file dynamically and the .csv file contains the data for the other four cols. How could i combine these in the ctrl file and populate the DB?
so if the DB contains CountryName, empid, ename, sal and dept..I will get the CountryName to the ctrl file and csv contains the data for empid, ename, sal and dept. How would i combine these data into a logical record and populate the DB?
I am trying to generate dynamic control file, as the files I want to upload are coming from different source and their name is constantly changing but following a fix pattern and naming convention.
I am able to generate dynamic control file through SQL. But while calling from BATCH file, i am unable to sent the file name as parameter.
All the examples i have searched are for UNIX, how to do it with BATCH File in WINDOWS.
I have a control file like following:
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE member
REPLACE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
(
control_id,
name,
address
)
problem is that control_id value is not in data file and I have to assign to each row the same value generated from sequence or from unix variable.
For example, after I run sqlldr, I have to have records in the table like following:
control_id name address
---------- ---- -------
1847 Charlie 250 yonge st
1847 Peter 5 Brookbanks dr
1847 Ben 123 King st

How do I do that?

How to write control file to load this data into the above revenue table.
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?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI 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'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'd like to load ss_numbers, but concatenate dashes in between.
The ssn currently looks like this in the file: 123456789
I'd like to put dashes in there to make it load like this. 123-45-6789
The data is positional, so I have the column in the ctl file defined as:
ssn position(1:9) char nullif ssn=blanks ,
I know how to concat using the other method of loading this way, but this is not how the data file looks:
"substr(lpad(:ssn,9,'0'),1,3)||'-'||substr(lpad(:ssn,9,'0'),4,2) ||'-'||substr(lpad(:ssn,9,'0'),6,4)",
how to get the dashes in there while loading with the positional method?
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...

I am doing a simple test and need to populate a small table with some data.
My table looks like this:
SQL> desc clob_test
Name Null? Type
----------------------------------------- -------- ----------------------------
ID NUMBER(20)
C1 CLOB
I have a pipe delimited data file ID range 1-50000 and random characters with a length of 100-4000 bytes for the clob field.
My control file looks like this but I am guessing it is wrong:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'clob_test.dat'
INTO TABLE CLOB_TEST
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(
ID INTEGER EXTERNAL NULLIF (ID=BLANKS)
, C1
)
Let me know what I need to do to my .ctl file in order to load this data?
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.
Here's my table:
SQL> desc stg_query_overflow

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:
echo
echo ***** Creating view: "pul_promotion_response"
CREATE or replace VIEW "pul_promotion_response"
(
"promo_rsp_id",
"promo_hist_dtl_id",
"indiv_id",
[code]....
Here's the error(s) I receive in my log file:
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?
