• Parameters / Variables in SQL Loader Control File

  Here's my problem, I created the SQL Loader control file (ctl) to load a file of employees. This loading program is stored in the Oracle Applications. I want it is pass a parameter derived from the profile as the username of those who run the loader program and pass it to the program loader so that the user name information is included in the loading
  
  example of
  
  input data
  123456, John, Smith
  654321, Jane Doe
  
  data loaded
  123456, John, Smith, July 3, 2009, USER13
  654321, Jane, Doe, July 3, 2009, USER13
  
  the sysdate is easy because it can be set in the column, but what I want to really realize is a parameter passed to the ctl file.
  
  Thanks in advance.

  Hello
  It's not easy to pass arguments to control the file all what you can do is change the controlfile by file option for your writing dynamically setting. If the user is the database user you can place the USER as a keyword as you where you will store sysdate.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I think you'll be better off using external pointing to csv data, and then by running the query on the external table to insert rows in the target table table.

• SQL * Loader Control File - Error 510

  Hello!
  
  I am trying to load a file TXT using SQL * Loader, my control file is a little too big I guess: 83KO.
  
  The problem is the message I get:
  
  SQL * Loader: release 10.2.0.3.0 - Production on Qua game 16 11:18:58 2009

  The language is Brazilian Portuguese.
  
  But the size of the file is only 83 KB, not the maximum size. I'm confused.
  
  The data is a TXT file with more than 1000 characters per line.
  The problem is that the generated control file is 'bigger' than the maximum. The error is not from the data file (error in the control file, not the data file). If you want I can put the file here and a sample of the data file too.
  
  I guess that is not find expressions of the folklore of the control file, but there a tank < ENTER > at the EOF (CR + LF (I think).
  
  I really want to split the data file or in multiple files control file and then control the import with the software, which would be boring...
  
  I don't know if this information helps but my control file using multiple INTO TABLE...
  
  Thank you!

  I still feel that the problem is the end character.

  The comparison is ok since I have already tested with a small control file.

  The problem is not the size of the file, the problem is the size of the line, with a small control file sql loader to read the file only online, and in this case it works because it is under the limit for the size of the line. (The smal file perhaps has the same problems with the characters of late, but due to its size it recount not error.)

  I hope that I missed something in the creation of the control file, I think he tries to read data from it, despite the fact that I have to tell him otherwise, because I saw something to tell the size limit for a control file with data inside...

  The control file syntax is OK, I don't think that he search data in the control file.

  I insist on the fact that you are creating the control file with another editor, otherwise...

  First of all, it is only possible if remaining 2 column datatype is string (char/nchar, varchar2/nvarchar2, clob/nclob) and is at least 14 characters long. The rest is easy. Just change 2 last control file fields:

  column9  constant 'COLUMN_DROPPED',

• 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.

• SQL * Loader Control path

  Hi all
  
  
  I created a sql * simultaneous program of charger with a parameter to pass the path of the data file with file name. Now my question is how does the program know that the control file is in a specific path.
  
  For example, I kept the control file in the $XXX_TOP/bin and the data file in the $XXX_TOP.
  
  I have now in the program parameter, pass the path of the data file, but how the program takes the path of the default control file $XXX_TOP/bin.

  I created a sql * simultaneous program of charger with a parameter to pass the path of the data file with file name. Now my question is how does the program know that the control file is in a specific path.

  You can provide information on the data file in the control file, or switch the full directory path and the name of your file as an argument. Concurrent Manager passes the "data = (full path of the data file)" token at query execution time. Without a data file name, the concurrent manager ignores this token and SQL * Loader uses the data file name specified in the control file.

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E18727_01/doc.121/e12897/T302934T458254.htm#4163833

  The control file must be placed in the directory XX_TOP/bin $.

• How to load the file name in the table target. ?

  Hi Expertise,

  I load the data of 100 files of same schema using packages,

  It is a variable stores the names of files. I used this link for reference: ODI gurus: SEVERAL FILES - TARGET SINGLE TABLE - SINGLE INTERFACE & several files simple single interface target .

  but now I need what files have been executed in the interface. Please give me some ideas?
  I need when the data from a particular file was loading then in DB, the particular file name must also be sent to the target.

  using ODI 11.1.1.9 & wls 10.3

  Help with kindness,

  Thank you

  Shakur

  In my example src_file_name is a column name

  and #projectName.variableName - is a variable

  If you want to store in the column you define '#projectName.variableName.txt '- don't forget the single quotes - (as a result, you get an error)

  I try to get data from a flat file, but it doesn't have any header

  as 1, tom, 36, usa.

  I have a table with id column, name, age, country, and I want to get the data. Please let me know how to proceed.

  Thanks in advance

  If you add columns manually in the data model there is no need to reverse engineering. If you reverse engineer with header set to 0 ODI will simply give the columns arbitrary identifiers such as C1, C2, C3 etc. That you can leave or change.
