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 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.
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.
what's the difference between checkpoint_change# and controlfile_change#. what's the checkpoint_change# use for ? does it use for recover ? what's the controlfile_change# use for ? when the controlfile_change# will be increase ?
SQL> select controlfile_sequence# from v$database;
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
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?
I 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..
LOAD DATA TRUNCATE INTO TABLE TABLEA TRAILING NULLCOLS ( file_type POSITION(1:5) CHAR, business_date POSITION(16:23) DATE "YYYYMMDD", create_file_name "FILE_NAME" EXPRESSION "SELECT TO_CHAR(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(3), 'YYYYMMDDHH24MISS') FROM DUAL")
The load fails with SQL Loader error: "Expecting valid column specification, ",", ")", found keyword EXPRESSION found instead of column. How the timestamp to a filename can be appended?
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.
how to create control file and how to load the data through command window in our database using sql * loader.i am having structure in my database and .csv file in my desktop.
i load data to this table from a file using sqlldr.
what is the proper data type should i use in control-file for both the fields.? i dont mention any datatye in ctl file which is working fine with given dataset.
create table revenue ( person varchar2(23), month varchar2(3), rev_amt number )
and i have data in a file like below

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?
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 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.

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 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 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?
