Help Needed regarding SQL Loader Error

Hi,
I am trying to insert some records into two tables using same control file.
I am using the follwing command to load data
sqlload "$ORAUSER" CONTROL="$LDRFILE" DATA="$DATA_PATH/$DATA_FILE" BAD="$BAD_FILE" LOG="$LOG_FILE" DISCARD="$DISCARD_FILE" ERRORS="$MAX_ERRS"
I am getting the error: SQL-LOADER - 350: Illegal combination of non-alphanumeric characters
#!/bin/ksh
Please suggest me what I need to do.
Thanks,
Srinivas.

it appears that you are using this line code in your korn shell script. if you try to do a manual run on the unix command line do you still get the same error?
also can you post a sample value for all the parameters you have.

Help needed in SQL Loader

Hi,
Am using SQL Loader to insert rows in a table.
I have 5 cols in table A. But the data is not present in all cols always.
Have used TRAILING NULLCOLS but with no help.. few rows are inserted and for many others it throws "ORA-01841: (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0" error
(because the value is null in that particular column position)
How do I handle such cases.Please help asap.
FYI -
CONTROL FILE

not sure if this will work but you may want to give it a try:
change from:
(MAIL_DATE date 'yyyymmdd hh24:mi:ss'
to:
(MAIL_DATE date 'yyyymmdd'since the first data on your file does not have the timestamps

Expert Help needed with Sql Loader !

Hello Friends...I am using one .dat file that contains several values in a
particular column and I need to load those values in different tables with
sqlloader.....For example: in column 3 there are values 0001, 0004, 0007, 9999
..> values 0001 and 0004 need to be loaded into table1 and value 0007 is
loaded into table2 and value 9999 needs to be loaded into table3.
I can successfully use the when clause to load one value at a time but
cannot load a range or multiple values during the sqlloader load. I can
call and run separate .ctl files but less complexity and fewer files would
be better. Tried everything I know but no luck, can't do loads in same
.ctl file......Does the when clause have limitations whereby only one value
at a time can evaluated as True or False ?
I would like to do a Not or InBetween evaluations if possible on that
single coulmn and then do the loads in the specific tables.
Any help would be appreciated as I can see my hair turn grayer by the
minute..My thanks in advance..

You're asking sql*load to perform an unnatural act.
Load in you dat file as-is. Create a pl/sql procedure to do the rest.
Your batch script calls sql*load, then sql*plus to run the proc.
Must simpler. sql*load is not a procedural language.

Help needed on SQL*LOADER

Hi,
I am using oracle 8i for Windows release 8.1.7.
I have a data feed file 'XYZ.ctl' which contains numerous records.Each record is having various data. This data is subdivided into fields seprated by '~'.
Each field can be of variable length. Thus my data per line is represented as below:
1)A~BG~1223~023456~AW3456DF~001~desc1~002~desc2~~~~~~~~~~~~
2)A~MN~1423~073453~AW56DF~001~desc11~002~desc22~003~desc33~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here the point that is to be noted is each field ends with '~'.
Now I would like to push data from 'A' to 'AW3456DF' of 'record 1' to Table X and from there on i.e from '001' to 'desc2' to Table Y.
Similarly for record 2 I would like to push data from 'A' to 'AW56DF' to Table X and from there on i.e from '001' to 'desc33' to Table Y.
This has to be achieved through SQL*Loader. Can it be achieved? If not then is there another way? Actually much of the loading that is done in production is already present and working fine. We just need to implement
the above functionality.
Another point is that the numeric part i.e. '001' would go in column 'Col1'and the description part i.e 'desc1' would go in column 'Col2' of table Y.
Please let me know if anything could be done.
Thanking in advance.

UTL_FILE
With the UTL_FILE package, your PL/SQL programs can read and write operating system text files. UTL_FILE provides a restricted version of operating system stream file I/O.
UTL_FILE I/O capabilities are similar to standard operating system stream file I/O (OPEN, GET, PUT, CLOSE) capabilities, but with some limitations. For example, you call the FOPEN function to return a file handle, which you use in subsequent calls to GET_LINE or PUT to perform stream I/O to a file. When file I/O is done, you call FCLOSE to complete any output and free resources associated with the file.

SQL*LOADER ERROR 비교 (ORA-2359, ORA-1401)
==========================================
PURPOSE
SQL*LOADER 를 사용하는 경우 ORA-2359 ERROR가 나는 경우와
ORA-1401 ERROR가 나는 경우를 비교한다.
Examples
table 의 desc가 다음과 같다고 가정하자.
SQL> create table test5(a varchar2(1000));
이 경우 delimiter 가 comma 인지 position 으로 구분되는지에 따라 error
message가 달리 나타난다.
1) ORA-2359 : field in datafile exceeded maximum specified length
load data
infile test.dat
replace
into table test5
fields terminated by ','
(a char) 로 실행 시 발생.
---> a char(1000) 으로 하면 error 해결이 가능하다.
2) ORA-1401: inserted value too large for column
load data
infile test.dat
replace
into table test5
fields terminated by ','
(a position(1:2000) char)
---> 이 경우 a position (1:1000) char 로 하면 해결 가능하다 .
* 참고로 + , - 기호와 comma 를 load 하기 위해서는 decimal external을
사용한다. (a position decimal external (10))

Need help regarding sql loader

Hi ,
I am executing following command
sqlldr admin_user@ces CONTROL=D:\sample_control.ctl log=D:\sample_log.log bad=D:\Sample_bad.bad
In case of valid data it is inserting the data properly into the table. While invalid records added into the bad file.
Now I want rollback valid data whenever count of bad file greater than equal to 10.
In short whenever file has more than 10 invalid records , I don't want to insert any record from that file.
Please provide me the solution.Thanks in advance.

Sql-loader error, help!!!!

Recently I found the following error message in the sql-loader log file.
ora-704 , I can't find corresponding explainatino in oracle documentation. I use sql-loader 7.3 to load .dat file extracted from our ERP system. This error can't be monitored by pl/sql and quite dangerous . Please kindly help me to solve this problem.Many thanks!!

The ora-704 error message is pretty serious. It's a boot-strap kind of message that you usually get on db startup when something is seriously wrong. What version of db are you running? If it's pre-8.0 then you might check to see if the sys.bootstrap$ table was set to unlimited extents (one of those weird issue things). Although I wouldn't suggest modifying the sys schema's objects to set the extents to something other than unlimited, this might open some doors into something else.
If you're truly getting this:
ORA-00704: "bootstrap process failure"
Cause: Failure in processing bootstrap data - see accompanying
error.
Action: Contact your customer support representative.
Then you really need to contact a CSR for technical help that is supported by Oracle itself.
Good luck

Need help to run sql loader from Form6i

Hi All,
I have some problem with the sql loader running from form 6i.
I have done following steps for that.
1. have created bat file to run sql loader.
2.Alos created ctl and txt files inside the same folder.
In the form , in button press i have written below code
HOST('cmd /c C:\load1.bat > C:\output.txt');
But it is giving error as -
"Unable to open Load1.ctl."
but i have run that bat files from command prompt ; and it is running fine.
I guess probably it is not getting the correct path.
Will pls help me, wt exacly I'm doing wrong?
Rg,
Subir

Hi Francois,
Thanks for reply.
It is not a problem with the batch files. Coz, I just able to run batch files, but that is not correct solution.
Once the host command id firing, that time it is going to path -
"c:\orant\Form60\"
And in this path it searching for that batch files and all the require files; but the require files are present in some different folder. So i think I need to change the path as well, but that I'm unable to do.
To resolve the problem, I have copied all the files in "c:\orant\Form60\" folder, and then it is working.
So I think I need to changed the path, so how to change the path. If I able to change the path I think it will worked. How to change the path?
Best Rg,
Subir

The root cause is in the error ora-1426, which you can look up in the online error documentation at http://tahiti.oracle.com . No one knows every error message by heart. This means it is expected you look up the error prior to posting, and you don't expect any volunteer in this forum to look up the error on your behalf.
Also this is a typical candidate for being a known problem, and known problems can be found on My Oracle Support.

Regarding sql loader --- can we have control file to do a check on csv?

Hi,
I normally get a csv having data as
column1 ;columnb;columnc;
13 ; 12 ; 13 ;
11 ;13 ;33;
as the table where it needs to go is say table
xys( a number, b number , c number).
so the control file is fairly simple ...
But from now I need to restrict data entry if the change in format happens in the csv
say if it is like
column2;column1;column3,
12,13;12;
11;13;14;
or say the csv like
column1;column2;column3;column4;
11;13;14;15;
111;134;14;12;
in both cases sql loader should not run and throw the error saying the reason in the log.
how do i manage it in the control file `???
any ideas???
it is urgent pls help !!!
regards
