something about sql loader
JinI want to load a txt file into a database table
the contents of this file as txt

a 15 223 k tt
a k 323 105 tt
a 15 423 k tt

I want to delimit each record in four fields by blanks
but I don't want all these four fields loaded into the table,
Instead, I want to just choose only two useful fields (for example, the second and third field) in a table with only two columns
How do I make.
also, I tried the toad sql * loader wizard, I map columns in the corresponding field in the field, mapping, but this does not work, can someone tell me why? can it work?
Thank you.

Hello
I will execute following command
sqlldr admin_user@ces CONTROL = D:\sample_control.ctl log = D:\sample_log.log D:\Sample_bad.bad = bad
In the case of valid data, it's inserted data properly into the table. While no valid records added in the wrong file.
Now I want to restore whenever valid data that the number of bad record greater than equal to 10.
In short, whenever the file has more than 10 invalid records, I don't want to insert any record of this file.
Please give me the solution. Thanks in advance.

SQL * Loader running forever
Hello
I use Oracle 10.2.0.4 on RHEL 4u4. I am trying to load a table with data using "Load data user Files" in Enterprise Manager (SQL * Loader).
When I run the work, she spends just forever, and never ends. I try only to charge about 6 400 lines, so I can't imagine that he should take a very long time. I have created a. BAD file, a. File to DISCARD and one. LOG file, but all are empty. I also followed the alert log, but I see not everything about the load there either. I may have something wrong in the control file?
Here is a sample of my data in the flat file:
1 * "LAURA, LAURIE, LORA, LAURI, LARA."
2 * "SARA, SARAH."
3 * "' JENNIFER, JENN, JEN, JENNI, JENNY" * "

SQL Loader - null is not recognized
Hi, I have a very strange question that I would really appreciate help with.
We have the file following sql ctl charger that works very well.
OPTIONS (DIRECT = TRUE, PARALLEL = FALSE, ERRORS = 0, BINDSIZE = 50000, LINES = 10000, READ)
SIZE = 65536)

Substr(:dt_tm_added,1,11) | "(00:00:00 ',: DT_TM_ADDED) ' etc. .
We must now change our ctl files so the fields are completed by |
It now looks like this.
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ' |'
(
"DT_TM_ADDED" TANK "DECODE (SUBSTR (: DT_TM_ADDED, 13.2), null, substr(:dt_tm_add)).
Ed, 1, 11). 00:00:00',TRIM(:DT_TM_ADDED)) ", etc.
This works great besides when the DT_TM_ADDED, 13.2 has a value zero. Its not picking up that it is worth zero. If I change the statement as follows using a ' ' instead of null, IE (: DT_TM_ADDED, 13.2), ' ', substr,... it works very well.
Am I missing something really obvious here?
Any help would be really appreciated.

Name of dynamic INFILE SQL loader
Hi all
I use oracle 10g on windows server.
I have a log on a remote server. each line in the log file is as below
LogIN Mar 02/09/2014 10:10:48 ss18 N419FS40 1
I create a table for that as below;
Create table free_pc (log_in varchar2(10),log_day varchar2(10),log_date date,log_time date,log_user varchar2(30),log_Lab varchar2(30),log_pc varchar2(30), log_status char(1));
I have two problems;
1 N419FS40, the N419 is the name of a student in the lab, while FS40 is the name of the computer in this laboratory. I want only the first four characters to be inserted into the column of Log_lab and the rest of characters iin Log_pc column. my control file is less than
DOWNLOAD THE DATA
INFILE '\\remote_location\login02_09_14.txt '.
ADD
IN THE TABLE free_pc
FIELDS FINISHED WITH A WHITE SPACE
(log_in,
log_day,
log_date DATE "DD/MM/YYYY",
log_time DATE "HH24 MI SS."
LOG_USER,
log_Lab,
log_PC,
log_status
)
How to do this?
2. the log file is generated on the server, every day with a different name, he cancatenate the current date with Word LOGIN, for example login02_09_14.txt, login03_09_14.txt and login04_09_14 etc. in my INFILE tag, how can I put the name, so that it automatically take the name of the remote location?
Thank you.
Kind regards.
1. you can use the SUBSTR function to separate the two values. You put the fields in the control file in the same order in the data file, with all the columns that are formulated from data in other areas at the end.
2. There are different ways to do this. The file name can be in the control file or the SQL * Loader command line. You can create either using SQL/SQL * Plus or operating system commands. I tend to prefer change just the line of SQL * Loader command line, instead of the entire control file. I prefer to do this in a SQL file instead of a file breaks Windows or * ix shell script or something, so that it is independent of the operating system.
In addition, it is best to store all of your day, date and time in a column, then you can use to_char to display it as you want, in a column, or two or three.
Please see the example below, in which I have shown above.

"I had a column in the table that was initially defined as VARCHAR2 (250), I changed the table and made 1000, when the data is over 250 characters sql loader is in error"
Field in the data file exceeds the maximum length. The table shows the field in VARCHAR2 (1000). Help, please.
Thank you

Reg: Problem SQL Loader-
Hi Experts,
I am trying to load data from a flat file in an Oracle table, but face some problems.
Concern (1) (1)
I have a directory where there are about 20 similar files named as 'rb_1', 'rb_2', 'rb_3', etc...
All these data should be loaded in a Word only table 'X '.
Is it possible that only 1 CTL file will make a loop and load all the files in X?
Concern (2) (2)
Field delimiter is Ctrl-X (CAN: cancel) and Ctrl-M (EM: em) characters
Line delimiter is Ctrl-Z (SUB: substitute) and Ctrl-T (DC4: Device Control) characters
Is there a way I can specify this in my CTL file?
(I've only worked on delimiter of field as comma "«»", de champ comme virgule «», pas speciales personnages comme ca not special characters like that)
Please let me know if any additional information is required.
Help much appreciated.
Thank you
-Nordine
Agree with Hoek, you'd better to use external tables you can specify multiple filenames at once, otherwise you will have a script that provides the name of the input file when calling sql loader and make this script loop for each file.
Regarding the ctrl characters in your delimiters, control file supports the hexagonal versions of them for example
fields terminated by ' 09 x. "
where 9 is the hexagon of the ascii value of the character (in this case a tab character).
CTRL-m, that would be x ' 0 of etc.

Pls help: SQL Loader support only a single record

I'm trying to insert data into a table using SQL Loader.
I entered on the command line,

It does not perform any operation and simply crashes... table does no data... no data in the log file...
It simply shows the SQL Loader Release... production... Copyright messages and do not stop.
Am new on SQL loader... Kindly help

Another problem:
I have my file loading_data.dat with multiple entries as below which are records to be inserted for a single column in my table.

When I execute the following statement of sqlldr, he inserts a single record and says loading completed - logical number of records 1.
Why my other documents are not get inserted?
Post edited by: 3cd7ad85-b56c-4a9c-ae91-83be047aac2c
Continue_load can only be used with direct path, unconventional path. You must specify the record terminator and terminator of field, which is the same when your data are only a single column. Please see the example below. As for your digital problem, as you can see, it does not reproduce below. Your problem could be due to many things. He might try to read something else that what you think, he tries to read, because of something else being wrong. It is possible that you need to use:
(msisdn "to_number (ltrim (rtrim (: msisdn)))")
to remove the leading and trailing spaces and convert it to a number. You must provide a copy and pasting a full example, as I did below.
-loading_data.dat content:
233207332711

Hi s/n,.
I am facing problems when loading the dates in the database by using sql loader. My data file can have several date formats, so I have a function that interprets date and removes the time settings and the date of return.
Something like that.
For example:
I have a table-
CREATE TABLE TEMP1234
(
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER,
DATE OF ASOF_DATE
);
Data file
10001172 | 09/12/1945
Control file:
OPTIONS (DIRECT = TRUE, SILENT (FEEDBACK) =, skip = 0)
DATA RELATING TO SUNK COSTS
REPLACE
in the temp1234 table
' fields completed by "|" possibly provided by ' "'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(ID,
ASOF_DATE "decode (: ASOF_DATE, null,:ASOF_DATE,conv_date1(:ASOF_DATE))).
)
Function CONV_DATE1:
FUNCTION to CREATE or REPLACE conv_date1 (p_str IN VARCHAR2)
DATE OF RETURN
IS
RETURN_VALUE DATE;p_str1 VARCHAR2 (15): = NULL;
FmtArray TYPE IS a TABLE OF VARCHAR2 (30);
g_fmts fmtArray
: = fmtArray ("yyyy-mm-dd",
"yyyy/mm/dd"
mm/dd/yyyy"."
"dd-mm-yyyy",
"dd/mm/yyyy",
"mm-dd-yyyy");
BEGIN
p_str1: = SUBSTR (p_str, 1, 10);BECAUSE me in 1... g_fmts. COUNTY
LOOP
BEGIN
return_value: = TO_DATE (p_str1, g_fmts (i));
EXIT;
EXCEPTION
WHILE OTHERS
THEN
NULL;
END;
END LOOP;IF (return_value IS NULL)
THEN
RAISE PROGRAM_ERROR;
END IF;RETURN Return_value;
END;
/In this case, if the year in the data file shown in 1945, date which is load in the poster 2045 database.
But when I run this function by putting a sql editor - it returns the correct value.
Select double conv_date1('12/09/1945');
Please help me understand what is causing the problem.
I think there may be an implicit conversion going on with the combination of decode and checking nvl and function within SQL * Loader. I put the nvl checking in function and simply use the function in the control file, as shown below.
OPTIONS (DIRECT = TRUE, SILENT (FEEDBACK) =, skip = 0)
DATA RELATING TO SUNK COSTS
REPLACE
in the temp1234 table
' fields completed by "|" possibly provided by ' "'

Hello. I am currently using the when option in my SQL Loader script:
But now I find that I must exclude several channels '9000001', '9000002 ', '9000003', 9000004'. Is there a way to do this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.when (01:07) <> '9000001'
Sharpe says:
Awesome. Thank you. One last question... If I have these channels (for example '9000001', etc.) stored in a different table is anyway to reject the records corresponding to this value into my table? Something like a nested statement select?when (01:07) not in(select mystr from mytable)
Let me know is that references a table is possible or not. Thank you.
As far as I know, you can do that. I believe that the Organizer must be or = or! = and to compare value must be a literal, not a select function or expression. You can use SQL * Loader (or an external table if your data on the server, not the client) to load the data into a staging table, then use SQL to insert... where... not in (mystr select from myTable).

Associating a header for his record in detail record in SQL Loader
I have a SQL loader script that loads the data in 2 separate tables, a table containing the header and one giving details. Once the charge is completed there is no way of knowing what element is associated with his header.
Is there a way to associate a header record with its corresponding details?

2. the header and detail have the item number in the column

So I expect that 'Article number' provides the association.If this isn't the case, then show the header and detail DDL table and some sample data and remember where is the problem.
This is why I am asking about (and you do not answer) how data loading; a single file or two, flat or hierarchical, files etc. to see how your sql * control of loading script dealt with data.

How to call sql loader control file with in the pl/sql procedure
Hi friends,
I am doing a project in relation to the transfer data using queues. In the queue, I'll get a data delimited by tabs in the form of CLOB variable/message. I don't want to keep this dat in the oracle table.
During the updating of the data in the table.
1. don't want to write data to a file. (You want to access directly after the specific queue).
2. as the data is in the form of delimited by tabs, I want to use sql loader concept.
How can I call the ctrl charger sql file with in my pl/sql procedure. When I searched, most forums recommending the external procedure or a Java program.
Please guide me on this issue. My preferrence is pl sql, but don't know the external procedure. If no other way, I'll try Java.
I'm using oracle 9.2.0.8.0.
Thanks in advance,
Vimal...Or SQL * Loader, or external tables are designed to read data from a CLOB stored in the database. They both work on files stored on the file system. If you don't want the data to be written to a file, you have to roll your own parsing code. It is certainly possible. But it will be much less effective than SQL * Loader or external tables. And it is likely to lead to a little more code.
The simplest possible thing that might work would be to use something like Tom Kyte string tokenization package to read a line in the CLOB, divide the component parts and save the different chips in a significant collection (i.e. an object type or a record type that matches the table definition). Of course, you need manage things like the conversion of strings to numbers or dates, rejecting the lines, writing to log files, etc.

Extraction of multiple logical records through sql loader

I have a few questions about the sql loader. I m totally new to this, I've never used, this is the first time that I m using
1.
How can I find the position of the character number or a number? I have to physically count the position? is it textpad metering or usage in a specific way to do this?
I know it sounds like a silly question... but I wanted to know if there is a better way to do
2.
---example data 1119 Smith 1120 Yvonne 1121 Albert 1130 Thomas The following control file extracts the logical records: INTO TABLE emp (empno POSITION(1:4) INTEGER EXTERNAL, ename POSITION(6:15) CHAR) INTO TABLE emp (empno POSITION(17:20) INTEGER EXTERNAL, ename POSITION(21:30) CHAR)
2 can it please contact what is the "null deptno = white if"? "»
I really appriciate it ~deptno POSITION(1:2) INTEGER EXTERNAL(2) NULLIF deptno=BLANKS,
Thank youHello
The NULLIF means white load as NULL
http://download.Oracle.com/docs/CD/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/ldr_field_list.htm#sthref1129
Not sure I understand your first question. Of course you know the file format, TextPad might be an ok tool to determine this format for a fixed-width file.
