Hi everybody!
My situation is that: I want to use SQL loader with Foxpro DBF format, it similar to case 2 study (Fixed format record) but DBF file has header, how can I tell SQL loader skip header.
Thank you in advance

Another option is to apply SQL operators to fields
LOAD DATA
   INFILE *
   APPEND
INTO TABLE emp
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"' (
   empno,
   ename,
   job,
   mgr,
   hiredate DATE(20) "DD-Month-YYYY",
   sal,
   comm,
   deptno CHAR TERMINATED BY ':',
   projno,
loadseq "my_seq.nextval")This is a modified control file of Case Study 3 which originally demonstrated the use of the Sequence parameter

Problem using SQL Loader with ODI

Hi,
I am having problems using SQL Loader with ODI. I am trying to fill an oracle table with data from a txt file. At first I had used "File to SQL" LKM, but due to the size of the source txt file (700MB), I decided to use "File to Oracle (SQLLDR)" LKM.
The error that appears in myFile.txt.log is: "SQL*Loader-101: Invalid argument for username/password"
I think that the problem could be in the definition of the data server (Physical architecutre in topology), because I have left blank Host, user and password.
Is this the problem? What host and user should I use? With "File to SQL" works fine living this blank, but takes to much time.
Thanks in advance

I tried to use your code, but I couldn´t make it work (I don´t know Jython). I think the problem could be with the use of quotes
Here is what I wrote:
import os
retVal = os.system(r'sqlldr control=E:\Public\TXTODI\PROFITA2/Profita2Final.txt.ctl log=E:\Public\TXTODI\PROFITA2/Profita2Final.txt.log userid=MYUSER/myPassword @ mySID')
if retVal == 1 or retVal > 2:
raise 'SQLLDR failed. Please check the for details '
And the error message is:
org.apache.bsf.BSFException: exception from Jython:
Traceback (innermost last):
File "<string>", line 5, in ?

How to use SQL*LOADER to read data in |SMITH|ALFRED| format

the data I need to upload to table using SQL*LOADER is in format as below:
|AD |Argentina |
|CN |China       |
|US |America            |
|GB |England        |so how should I write my control file to read the data into two columns table?
I googled and people say that use Enclosed fields—delimiter (|), and I tried with below, but not working:
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
insert
INTO TABLE tmp_country_mapping
FIELDS ENCLOSED BY '|'
(country_id, country_name)
BEGINDATA
|AD |Argentina |
|CN |China       |

|GB |England        |Anyone could help?
BTW, I don`t want the spaces behind the value of the second column.
Thanks

What could be the problem?

How to use SQL*loader in oracle9i???

Hi,
I have installed oracle9i, and want to use sql*loader to load text data into table.
However, I can not find a tool called SQL*loader anywhere on the manu.
It will be appreciated if some experts can give me an advice where I can find it, and how to use it to load text data.
Thanks.
Chuck

When I go to tahiti.oracle.com and search on "external table", I get dozens of hits that explain how to create an external table and give numerous examples. If you have specific questions, I'd be happy to try to go into more detail. A generic SQL*Loader guide, however, would be well bayond the scope of this forum.

Problems using SQL*Loader with Oracle SQL Developer

I have been using TOAD and able to import large (milllions of rows of data) in various file formats into a table in an Oracle database. My company recently decided not to renew any more TOAD licenses and go with Oracle SQL Developer. The Oracle database is on a corporate server and I access the database via Oracle client locally on my machine. Oracle SQL Developer and TOAD are local on my desktop and connected through TNSnames using the Windows XP platform. I have no issues with using SQL*Loader via the import wizard in TOAD to import the data in these large files into an Oracle table and producing a log file. Loading the same files via SQL*Loader in SQL Developer, freezes up my machine and I cannot get it to produce a log file. Please help!

I am using SQL Developer version 3.0.04. Yes, I have tried it with a smaller file with no success. What is odd is that the log file is not even created. What is created is a .bat file a control file and a .sh file but no log file. The steps that I take:
1.Right click on the table I want to import to or go to actions
2. Import Data
3. Find file to import
4. Data Preview - All fields entered according to file
5. Import Method - SQL Loader utility
6. Column Definitions - Mapped
7. Options - Directory of files set
8. Finish
With the above steps I was not able to import 255 rows of data. No log file was produced so I don't know why it is failing.
thanks.

How to use SQL*Loader to load XMLType Column with other columns?

Hi,
I am trying to use sqlldr to load an XML file into a table with an XMLType column. I have found plenty of examples where the entire table is an xmltype, but I would like to load many XML objects into a generic table for processing with one XMLType column and many other columns to identify the load. As a simple example, I have one constant column which I want to set during the upload.
The following example does not work :(. No errors either.
create table xml_upload
(upload_type varchar2(10) not null,
xml_data XMLType)
my control file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE * append
INTO TABLE xml_upload
XMLType(xml_data)
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
upload_type constant MARKET,
xml_data
BEGINDATA
<SALE_ORDER>
<CUST_CODE>TIM</CUST_CODE>
<ORDER_NUM>1234></ORDER_NUM>

How to use SQL Dev with MySQL DBs ? Connection Setup

As far as I know SQL Dev can be used with MySQL databases as well.
How do I have to setup the connection for MySQL?
In detail what do I have to enter for
-role
-connection type
SID/ServiceName
Or is there a separate version for Oracle and MySQLß
Peter
Edited by: user5328442 on Jan 5, 2011 9:23 AM

Hi,
After downloading the MySQL plugin did you add the details in the third party database list ?
Do the following -
- Tools
- Preferences
- expand the Database option if necessary
- Third Party JDBC Drivers
- add the location and file name of the plugin.
On my setup it is -
D:\mysql_jdbc\mysql-connector-java-5.0.8\mysql-connector-java-5.0.8-bin.jar
The driver may be different if you have a later version.

How to use sql request with Jdev and database connection

Hello,
I have a login page with simple username and password inputsecret text and a button validate! I would like, when the user click on the validate button, to check in the database that the user and password matches. I've done the "Method BIndind..." with the commandButton_action and the database connection works fine.
How can I use an already existing procedure, say authenticate, wich is stored in the database to authenticate my user ?
Do I have to create a jdbc connection in java even if I've done the connection with the "create new database connection" wizard ?
String s1 = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@address:1521:ORCL";
System.out.println( "Connecting with: " );
System.out.println( s1 );
DriverManager.registerDriver(new oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver());
this.conn = DriverManager.getConnection( s1,"user","pass");
thanks for your help

Creating a connection to the DB in JDeveloper doesn't mean that your application is now connected to the DB - so yes you do need to create a connection to the database using JDBC.
One note - if you are trying to do a database user authentication the following is probably the better way to go about it:

How to use RelatedContent component with UCM 11g without Records Management

As the subject really...
I have been playing around with UCM 11g and want to use the RelatedContent component in isolation of URM / Records management.
Can I still do this, and is it supported.
I have had a look at advanced component manager and also the RMFC page but if I select a custom install with only related content I get a whole bunch of RM related stuff in the interface that I do not need.
Any suggestions? Is the old RelatedContent component supported directly on 11g?
Thanks
Tim
Edited by: Tim Snell on 24-Aug-2010 08:16

Hi,
First this post is really helpful as I was looking around for enabling related content component in ucm11g.
Now i am able to see it in my enabled component lists.
However , i have one doubt. I have enabled the component and restarted the server. After that if i got the checkin page, i can see only 'wwxRelatedContentTriggerDate' metadata for the related content. My assumption was when I enable the component, i will get a metadata on the content check in page to link to the other content items.
So can you please help me
1) to help whether my understanding is correct?
2) if yes, why am i not getting the metadata to specify the other contents is not shown? what I need to do for the same?
Thanks a lot in advance

What should be the datatype of the column in the table. I have tried with "timestamp with local time zone", but unable to load the record using sql loader. What should be the format string in the loader control file to load this type of record.
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

How to call sql loader ctrl file with in the pl/sql procedure

Hi Friends,
I am doing a project related with the transferring data using queues. In the queue , I will get a tab delimited data in the form of CLOB variable/message. I do want to store that dat in the oracle table.
When updating data into the table ,
1. Don't want to write that data into a file.( Want to access directly after dequeueing from the specfic queue).
2. As the data is in tab delimited form, I want to use sql loader concept.
How do I call the sql loader ctrl file with in my pl/sql procedure. When I searched , most of the forums recommending external procedure or Java program.
Please Guide me on this issue. my preferrence is pl sql, But don't know about external procedure . If no other way , I will try Java.
I am using oracle 9.2.0.8.0.
Thanks in advance,
Vimal..

Neither SQL*Loader nor 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're going to have to roll your own parsing code. This is certainly possible. But it is going to be far less efficient than either SQL*Loader or external tables. And it's likely to involve quite a bit more code.
The simplest possible thing that could work would be to use something like Tom Kyte's string tokenization package to read a line from the CLOB, break it into the component pieces, and then store the different tokens in a meaningful collection (i.e. an object type or a record type that corresponds to the table definition). Of course, you'll need to handle things like converting strings to numbers or dates, rejecting rows, writing log files, etc.
