• SQL * Loader-704: internal error

  Hi all
  I have run this command in windows
  sqlplus a/b@c
  It is connected, I can run sql and the results returned.
  
  However, I have run this command from sql loader
  sqlldr control = test.ctl a/b@c data = test.txt
  
  but the error is returned
  
  SQL * Loader-704: Internal error: ulconnect: OCIServerAttach [0]
  ORA-12154: TNS: could not resolve the connect identifier specified
  
  
  What are the reasons and why?
  Thank you very much!

  Hello Forreging.
  Srini said you that you must consider. SQL * Plus allows for a few characters that SQL * Loader. You should be able to use both $ (dollar sign) and _ (underscores stroke). Beyond these two special characters, my memory is incomplete. Your operating system might limit you also.

  Hope this helps,
  Luke

• 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
  
  Copyright (c) 1982, 2005, Oracle. All rights reserved.
  
  SQL * Loader-510: O registro fisico dados (C:\Teste\Exe548teste_zanthus.old.ctl) e but full o' maximo land (2147473647).
  
  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.

  André Luis wrote:

  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...

• Function pivot and Missing expression error

  Hello

  Sorry, it does not work.
  You can only use a subquery in the pivot IN clause if you say ' PIVOT * XML *...» »
  You must use dynamic SQL statements to get no XML output for all values, if you can't hardcode in the query.

  Ideas on how to get rid of them?

  Well, ideally, if you can get rid of them when creating csv... If not do the AMT DUMP as I suggested previously to get the exact or the end characters ascii codes. Assuming that it is the new line of Chr (10) put the following text in the loader control file:

  AMT "RTRIM (:AMT,CHR(10)).

  It really works when try you it?

  A CASE of Simple Expression (where you have an expression just after the CASE keyword and before the first WHEN) only check for equality. To use the inequality operators (such as >) you must use an Expression looked for CASES , such as

  CASE
     WHEN  exp > 60  THEN ...
     WHEN  exp > 30  THEN ...
  

  Repeat the expression exp each time.

  Hello

  This remove the control file:

  XMLTYPE(in_file_1)
  

  It is used only if the target table is an array of XMLType object.

  For an XMLType column LOBFILE is sufficient, for example:

  LOAD DATA
  INFILE *
  APPEND INTO TABLE TH_XML
  (
   col_id_1  CHAR (100),
   in_file_1 LOBFILE(CONSTANT "c:\simple.xml") TERMINATED BY EOF
  )
  begindata
  MYID1
  

  It tells SQL * Loader data consisting of one record with COL_ID_1 = "MYID1" and content = "c:\simple.xml" IN_FILE_1

  SQL> CREATE TABLE TH_XML
    2  (
    3    COL_ID_1   VARCHAR2(100 BYTE),
    4    IN_FILE_1  XMLTYPE
    5  );
  
  Table created.

• SQL Loader error - reduced to bare bones

  I get the same error repeatedly when you try to use Sql Loader. So I reduced my load to a single record of test with 2 columns of text.
  
  
  
  The data file is "C:\data_dir\opps_test.csv" and simply looks like this:
  t | t
  
  
  
  Here is the control file:
  
  load data
  INFILE 'C:\data_dir\opps_test.csv '.
  in the opps_test table
  fields ended by ' |'
  (OPP_ID, CAMP_CODE)
  
  
  
  And here is a desc on the target table opps_test:
  
  OPP_ID VARCHAR2 (255)
  CAMP_CODE VARCHAR2 (255)
  
  
  
  When I run sql loader I get the following error on the screen and in my journal and I wonder if anyone has any idea what it really means. The data consists of just me typing t | t and save the csv file

  Your control file works for me just as you posted.

  Just a hunch...

  You save your control file or the data file with Microsoft Word or something other than a text editor?

• Problem loading xml using sql loader file

  I am trying to load data into the table test_xml (xmldata XMLType)
  
  I have an xml file and I want any file to load in a single column
  
  When I use the following control file and run from the command-line as follows
  sqlldr $1@$TWO_TASK direct control=$XXTOP/bin/LOAD_XML.ctl = true; :
  
  DOWNLOAD THE DATA
  INFILE *.
  TRUNCATE INTO TABLE test_xml
  XmlType (XMLDATA)

  XMLDATA LOBFILE (ext_fname) COMPLETED BY expressions of folklore
  )
  START DATA
  U01/appl/apps/apps_st/appl/XXTop/12.0.0/bin/file. XML
  
  the file is loaded in the table perfectly.
  
  Unfortunately I can't hard-code the name of file as file name will be changed dynamically.
  
  so I removed the block
  
  START DATA
  U01/appl/apps/apps_st/appl/XXTop/12.0.0/bin/file. XML
  
  control file and tried to run by giving the following command line path
  
  sqlldr $1@$TWO_TASK control=$XXTOP/bin/LOAD_XML.ctl direct data=/u01/APPL/apps/apps_st/appl/xxtop/12.0.0/bin/file.xml = true;
  
  But strangely it attempts to load each line of the xml file in the table instead of the whole file
  
  Please find the log of the program with the error

  Please help me how can I load full xml in a single column using command line without Hardcoding in the control file
  
  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;
  

• SQL Loader for Oracle instant client 11

  I have a problem sqlldr.exe running on a machine having Oralce 11.1.0.6 instant client installed. I already copied all the DLL files it says that he needs and the whole repertoire of a machine with installation complete of RDBMS. This is the error I get:
  
  + SQL * Loader-704: Internal error: ulconnect: OCIEnvCreate [-1] +.
  
  I have no problem to connect what either using sqldeveloper. Are there files or the steps I'm missing?
  
  Thank you
  -Chris

  The add-on only supported for the moment customer is sqlplus, integration of other utilities is not supported. You can just mix DLLs of different software. There are a few documents on workarounds, for example:

  http://www.nyoug.org/presentations/2007/200703_Ji_Instant%20Client.PDF

  But no guarantee that it works and not support of Oracle.

• SQL Loader + CLOB

  Dear friends,
  
  Please guide me with this.
  

  LOAD DATA

  (Reply CLOBFILE("D:\load\dat\oes_enquiry_reply.dat") TERMINATED BY '[')

  What is bad here in this?
  

  I am getting error:
  *SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 6.*
  Expecting "," or ")", found "CLOBFILE".

  Please me tips on how to on this subject.

  Hello

  Use single quotes inside of double quotes for the path and file name.

  + ("' D:\load\dat\oes_enquiry_reply.dat'") +.

  Thank you.
