  The only thing I can think is some characters problem between the file of control and operating system/oracle server.

  You have the control file using a text editor such as Notepad or wordpad haven't you? You have not used something like MS Word?

• SQL * Loader: TRUNCATE TO ADD one IN the other

  Is it possible to TRONQUER IN 5 tables and ADD IN 1, in the same control file?

  APPEND it would be the data from the footer, add to this batch file. The data TABLEs are truncated between charges.

  Yes, the syntax is slightly different.  Instead of putting TRUNCATE or APPEND at the top of the control file, you have TRUNCATE or APPEND after each table name in the INTO TABLE clause before the WHEN clause.  Please see the example below who truncates table ab and inserts into the cd table.

  Scott@orcl12c > host type test.dat

  AB, 123, efg

  CD, hij, 456

  Scott@orcl12c > type host test.ctl

  load data

  in the ab table TRUNCATE when (1:2) = "ab".

  fields ended by ',' trailing nullcols

  (table_name filler position (1), col1, col2)

  in the cd table ADD when (1:2) = "cd".

  fields ended by ',' trailing nullcols

  (table_name filler position (1), col3, col4)

  Scott@orcl12c > create table ab

  Hello

  You can set your syntax for all areas (example here for only one field):

  INDEX_NAME CHAR "trim(:INDEX_NAME)",
  

  You can only refer to the names used as domain names.

  Thank you

• SQL Loader: Help TRIM and Decode functions please

  Hello
  
  I have load data from a flat file, for some columns, I need to use the TRIM and DECODE functions. It's a pipe delimited file.
  
  I get a syntax error (one is lower) same error listed for GARNISH.
  
  SQL * Loader-350: at line xx syntax error.
  Expected ', 'or') ', found 'DECODE '.
  
  
  ===========
  , FINAL_BILL_DATE CHAR (30) "TRIM(:FINAL_BILL_DATE)".
  , BUSINESS_ID 'DECODE(:BUSINESS_ID,'B',1,'C',2,'E',3,'G',4,'O',5,'R',6,'T',7,'U',8,'H',9,-1) '.
  
  
  Can someone please help.
  
  Thank you
  Josiane

  Hello josiane.
  The error you receive leads me to believe that at some point before the DECODING on the BUSINESS_ID line, probably some line before the FINAL_BILL_DATE line, it is a syntactic error causing the quotes before DECODING actually put an end to some other syntaxes. Without any lines that might actually contribute to this, including details of the header, it's the best I can advise.

  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.

  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...

• 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?
