SQL Loader - Skip empty, blank & 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

fields ended by ',' optionally surrounded "" "

TRAILING NULLCOLS

(

SPNAME "TRIM(:SPNAME)."

GROUP OF USERS "TRIM(:USERGROUP)."

IS_BUSINESS_CRITICAL "TRIM(:IS_BUSINESS_CRITICAL)"

BUSINESS_CRITICAL_COMMENT "TRIM(:BUSINESS_CRITICAL_COMMENT)"

BATCH_ID "(select batch_id de batch_tab) expression", "

ID 'TEMP_UPLOAD_ID_SEQ. NEXTVAL '.

)

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.

Scott@orcl_11gR2 > host type test.dat

Some title or column names

spname1 usergroup1 ibc1, bcc1, batch1,

spname3, usergroup3, ibc3, bcc3, batch3,

Add

  • SQL * LOADER skip the header and the footer while loading

    Hi, how can I ignore the header and footer both a flat file during the loading of a table using sql * loader?
    Also, can I use the direct method if my target table has a primary key and not null constraints defined on it?

    Hello

    To ignore the header, you can use JUMP, for the footer there is no specific way to ignore it (maybe it would be rejected).

    For more information on the laoding modes, you can check [11 classics and Direct Path loads | http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/ldr_modes.htm#g1023818].

  • 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

    The CTL file has two clauses INTO TABLE due to the nature of the data. The data presented are a subset of data in the real world file. We are only interested in the lines with the word "Index" in the first column.

    The problem we need to do face is, according to paragraph INTO TABLE appears first in the corresponding CTL lines file to the WHEN CLAUSE it would insert and the rest get discarded.

    1. statement of Create table : create table dummy_load (varchar2 (30) name, number, date of effdate);

    2. data file to simulate this issue contains the lines below 10. Save this as name.dat. The intention is to load all of the rows in a CTL file. The actual file would have additional lines before and after these lines that can be discarded.

    Unless you tell it otherwise, SQL * Loader assumes that each later in the table and what clause after the first back in the position where the previous left off.  If you want to start at the beginning of the line every time, then you need to reset the position using position (1) with the first column, as shown below.  Position on the first using is optional.

  • Spaces in line in Doc w / notes in the form of two or three lines of blank space will appear at the bottom of the body of the text

    I am writing a thesis with a lot of commit and annoyingly, often two or three lines of blank space will appear at the bottom of the body of the text (not the reference section) on a given page. Fiddling around with notes (increasing or decreasing their), or with the body, which is sometimes useful, but it's not ideal - I wouldn't need to change what I say artificially in order to use the space in the body of the text... Any help is appreciated.

  • SQL Loader mystery

    Would appreciate any help. 10.2.0.4 standard Edition on Windows 2003 64-bit.

    My definition of the table is:
    create table cfive (keywords varchar2(4000));
    My SQL Loader Control file is:
    LOAD DATA 
INFILE 'C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.HORAE\Desktop\testdata.txt' 
APPEND 
INTO TABLE import.cfive 
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' 
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' 
TRAILING NULLCOLS 
(KEYWORDS)
    And my data are:

    'active wear, young, ballerina, ballerina, ballet, ballerinas, Pointe Shoes,
    Body, clothes, clothing dance, dancer, sweet, graceful, dance, education, shoes,
    inside, instruction, isolation, Leotard, tutu, pensive, people, performance, skill, solitude,.
    women, the preparation, the tying, studio shot.

    (I broke which on several lines here, but in reality, it's a whole long line of text).

    I invoke sqlloader as follows:
    sqlldr import/xxxxxxx control=testctl.txt log=testlog3.txt bad=testbad3.txt
    The program ends, but generates a log file that includes this:

    The database using WE8ISO8859P1 character set, bytes and characters should be equivalent to this opportunity.

    I'm looking for indications as to why it does not work! Thank you in advance.

    Try to specify the maximum length of the data entry in SQL * Loader control file:

    LOAD DATA

  • SQL Loader failed

    Hi all

    I am load flat file in custom intermediate table using sql loader, but I'm betting that the error

    Record 2720: Rejected - error on the table XXPLL_SALES_FCST_BGA_TMPL, column MKTG_ASP.

    ORA-01722: invalid number

    XXPLL_SALES_FCST_BGA_TMPL - Custom intermediate Table


    MKTG_ASP - contains decimal values


    I created this column as a number data type.


    I've seen much after and it was proposed to use 'Decimal external' but it still does not work. All suggestions will be useful.



    Thank you

    Sharath Chander M



    Hi Barbara Boehmer

    Now, I changed in the file ctl under 'EXTERNAL DECIMAL Mktg_ASP DONE BY a SPACE' and now all data are allowed in / load. Is - this way?

    I will also try as you say. Also if the data file has a line any, as a null value for this column will be it's causing any problem for the amendment that I have performed in ctl file?

    Thank you
