• SQL Loader - Skip empty, blank &amp; space lines

  Hi all

  I load data into MS-Excel using SQL Loader.

  Question:

  If all the blank lines or spaces lines are there, currently it's inclusion as an empty entry.

  Control file

  OPTIONS (SKIP = 1)

  load data

  in the temp_upload table

  Add

  Help:

  
  

  Any solution to this problem? Please help me solve this problem.

  Ordinarily, SQL * Loader will reject, by default, all the rows where all columns are null.  However, when you assign the batch_id and id, these columns are null, the line is busy.  You can use SQL * Loader or external table to load the data into a staging table without these id, which will skip null lines, then insert into your target, adding the id, as shown below.

  If the problem I encounter is here for loading data in the link table that I check if DHCP is present in the subntwk table, then continue to another mistake of the newspaper. If CMTS then left create link to another error in the newspaper.

  Now that we can here multiple CMTS are associated with unique DHCP.

  So here in the table links to create the link, but for the last iteration of the loop, where I get separated by commas separate CMTS table stg_link_data it gives me log as not found CMTS.

  for example

  DHCP-1-1-1. WNLB-CMTS-01-1,WNLB-CMTS-02-2

  Here, I guess to link the dhcp-1-1-1 with balancing-CMTS-01-1 and wnlb-CMTS-02-2

  Theses all the data present in the subntwk table, but still it gives me journal wnlb-CMTS-02-2 could not be FOUND, but we have already loaded into the subntwk table.

  same thing is happening with all the CMTS table stg_link_data who are in the last (I think here you got what I'm trying to explain).

  But when I run the SQL scripts in the SQL Developer separately then it inserts all valid links in the table of links.

  Here, she should create 9 lines in the table of links, whereas now he creates only 5 rows.

  I use COMMIT in my script also but it only does not help me.

  Run these scripts in your machine let me know if you also get the same behavior I get.

  and please give me a solution I tried many thing from yesterday, but it's always the same.

  It is the table of link log

  link is already present: dhcp-1-1-1_TO_wnlb-cmts-01-1

  NOT FOUND CMTS for device to create the link: wnlb-CMTS-02-2

  link is already present: dhcp-1-1-2_TO_wnlb-cmts-03-3
  link is already present: dhcp-1-1-2_TO_wnlb-cmts-04-4

  NOT FOUND CMTS for device to create the link: wnlb-CMTS-05-5

  NOT FOUND CMTS for device to create the link: wnlb-CMTS-01-1

  NOT FOUND CMTS for device to create the link: wnlb-CMTS-05-8
  NOT FOUND CMTS for device to create the link: wnlb-CMTS-05-6
  NOT FOUND CMTS for device to create the link: wnlb-CMTS-05-0

  NOT FOUND CMTS for device to create the link: wnlb-CMTS-03-3

  link is already present: dhcp-1-1-5_TO_wnlb-cmts-02-2
  link is already present: dhcp-1-1-5_TO_wnlb-cmts-04-4

  NOT FOUND CMTS for device to create the link: wnlb-CMTS-05-7

  Device not found: wnlb-dhcp-1-13

  IF NEED MORE INFORMATION PLEASE LET ME KNOW

  Thank you

  I felt later in the night that during the loading in the staging table using UNIX machine he created the new line for each line. That is why the last CMTS is not found, for this I use the UNIX 2 BACK conversion and it starts to work perfectly.

  It was the dos2unix error!

  Thank you all for your interest and I may learn new things, as I have almost 10 months of experience in (PLSQL, SQL)

• TRIM trailing white space in SQLLDR

  I used the TRIM function, but it seems to not work.

  I found the solution, I used RTRIM (LTRIM (: RENTAL), CHR (13)) and that solved my problem.

  Published by: 907010 on January 10, 2012 02:24

  But strangely it attempts to load each line of the xml file in the table instead of the whole file

  Nothing strange, that the data parameter specifies the file containing the data to load.
  If you use the name of the XML here, the control file will try to interpret each line of XML as being separate ways.

  The traditional approach this is to have the name of the file stored in another file, say filelist.txt and use, for example:

  echo "/u01/APPL/apps/apps_st/appl/xxtop/12.0.0/bin/file.xml" > filelist.txt
  sqlldr $1@$TWO_TASK control=$XXTOP/bin/LOAD_XML.ctl data=filelist.txt direct=true;
  

• How to use SQL * Loader to load the XMLType column with other columns?

  Hello
  
  I try to use sqlldr to load an XML file into a table with an XMLType column. I have found many examples where the entire table is an xmltype, but I'd like to load a lot of XML objects in a generic table for treatment with a single XMLType column and other columns to identify the load. A simple example, I have a constant column which I want to put during the download.
  
  The following example does not work: (.) No error either.
  
  create the table xml_upload
  (the varchar2 (10) of upload_type not null,)
  donnees_xml XMLType)
  /

• In several fields trailing white space

  Hello
  
  I just found out that the CHAR fields retain their white space. Is any behavior I want, so I've converted all the columns involved in varchar2, who stopped the problem that happens for future data entry.
  
  However, I would now like to remove white space at the end of all existing data in the database to help with models comparison without need to use 'trim' or 'like' all the time.
  
  Is there a quick and easy way (or a free tool available for download) which will go through whole varchar2 field in my database for stripping whitespaces purposes?
  
  TIA,
  Tom

• user input windows OS when loading data using sql loader

  Hello
  I have the oracle 11g Linux database.
  I have excel sheets with data that must be loaded into the database.
  I have oracle running on my windows client11g.
  
  When I or anyone else is running the load sql script to load the data, I need to capture the user OS (the one that runs the script of their windows login) and pass it via the sql loader and insert into the table as a column value outside the columns in the excel sheet.
  
  I think that this could be a very simple solution, I did some research but not just anywhere.
  Can someone guide me on this.
  
  Thanks in advance.
  Philip.

  Well, I built this example on the fly to show the answer. But it is based on documentation and previous experience with sql * loader or sys_context.

• Need to call the Shell script that uses SQL loader in APex4.1 / 11g

  Hello!
  
  I have a requirement in which I need to call a shell script that connects to an external server, FTP to a file and then use sqlloader to load data into our table. We have now the ftp script that accomplishes this task to another program, but is a scheduled task. I wanted to call the script ftp in the APEX. Any suggestions on how this can be done, what is the logic of PL/SQL can we use? I saw online some people using DBMS Scheduler for this?
  
  Thank you
  Sun

  Hello

  Create some sh script on your computer host oracle where you can join in the external server and run the process.
  something like:

  run_external_sh.sh

  #!/bin/sh
  ssh ext_user@ext_host ./sqlloader/import/import.sh
  

  Then create an external TASK to call it via ORACLE (PL/SQL)

  -Shell Script call.

  BEGIN
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_program (
      program_name        => 'external_call_sh',
      program_type        => 'EXECUTABLE',
      program_action      => '/local_host/call_external/sh/run_external_sh.sh',
      number_of_arguments => 0,
      enabled             => TRUE,
      comments            => 'Call external SH script');
  END;
  /
  

  You can now create a regular / or unplanned WORK
  -Job defined by the calendar and an existing program.

  BEGIN
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job (
      job_name      => 'jb_external_call_sh',
      program_name  => 'external_call_sh',
      schedule_name => 'external_call_scheduler', -- created scheduler
      enabled       => TRUE,
      comments      => 'Job defined by an existing external_call_sh program and schedule.');
  END;
  /
  

  You can now call the WORK in the APEX in the process of PL/SQL.

  BEGIN
    -- Run job synchronously.
    DBMS_SCHEDULER.run_job (job_name            => 'jb_external_call_sh');
  END;

• How to tune the loading using SQL LOADER

  Hi all
  
  I use SQLLDR to load the file into the target. All the files I am receving is ' | ' delimited. Some of the files size more than 3 GB. It takes a lot of time during loading.
  
  Help me to know if it is possible of tuner SQLLDR.
  
  Here is the example of control file.
  
  DOWNLOAD THE DATA
  UTF8 CHARACTER
  INFILE ' / var/hulu/ptp/ABC.txt'
  BADFILE ' / var/hulu/ptp/ABC.bad'
  DISCARDFILE ' / var/hulu/ptp/ABC.dsc'
  
  IN THE TABLE "PTP_ABC".
  TRUNCATE
  
  FIELDS TERMINATED BY ' |'
  TRAILING NULLCOLS
  (
  CODE,
  DESCRIPTION,
  FILLING,
  COKE
  )

  Change you your current sqlldr using external tables, this make the parallel load automatically, or launch sqlldr processes in the background of a single script.

  We doing something similar to this with the help of a shell like this script:

  nohup sqlldr userid=/ data=data01.dat log=my1.log control=my.ctl bad=my1.bad direct=yes silent=all parallel=true &
  nohup sqlldr userid=/ data=data02.dat log=my2.log control=my.ctl bad=my2.bad direct=yes silent=all parallel=true &
  nohup sqlldr userid=/ data=data03.dat log=my3.log control=my.ctl bad=my3.bad direct=yes silent=all parallel=true &
  nohup sqlldr userid=/ data=data04.dat log=my4.log control=my.ctl bad=my4.bad direct=yes silent=all parallel=true &
  nohup sqlldr userid=/ data=data05.dat log=my5.log control=my.ctl bad=my5.bad direct=yes silent=all parallel=true &
  nohup sqlldr userid=/ data=data06.dat log=my6.log control=my.ctl bad=my6.bad direct=yes silent=all parallel=true &
  nohup sqlldr userid=/ data=data07.dat log=my7.log control=my.ctl bad=my7.bad direct=yes silent=all parallel=true &
  ...
  

  We are currently opening 20 simultaneous processes and we get an overal 400 000 platelets per second speed. You test what is the maximum number of concurrent processes, you can open.

  Course which you need a first step to split the log into smaller chuncks. In my example, the file data.dat got cut into 20 smaller files, and each of them at the same time got loaded in parallel in the database. If you can not split the file, then you should go for external tables.

  You can always test direct = true without any parallel option. This should be more than noticiable.
