Problem with loading file with SQL loader

i am getting a problem with loading a file with SQL loader. The loading is getting
terminated after around 2000 rows whereas there are around 2700000 rows in the file.
The file is like
919879086475,11/17/2004,11/20/2004
919879698625,11/17/2004,11/17/2004
919879698628,11/17/2004,11/17/2004
the control file, i am using is like:-
load data
infile 'c:\ran\temp\pps_fc.txt'
into table bm_05oct06
fields terminated by ","
(mobile_no, fcal, frdate )
I hope, my question is clear. Please help, in solving the doubt.
regards.

So which thread is telling the truth?
Doubt with SQL loader file wih spaces
Are the fields delimited with spaces or with commas?
Perhaps they are a mixture of delimiters and that is where the error is coming in?

Problem loading XML-file using SQL*Loader

Hello,
I'm using 9.2 and tryin to load a XML-file using SQL*Loader.
Loader control-file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
INTO TABLE BATCH_TABLE TRUNCATE
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
FILENAME char(255),
XML_DATA LOBFILE (FILENAME) TERMINATED BY EOF
BEGINDATA
data.xml
The BATCH_TABLE is created as:
CREATE TABLE BATCH_TABLE (
FILENAME VARCHAR2 (50),
XML_DATA SYS.XMLTYPE ) ;
And the data.xml contains the following lines:
<?xml version="2.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE databatch SYSTEM "databatch.dtd">
<batch>
<record>
<data>
<type>10</type>
</data>
</record>
<record>
<data>
<type>20</type>
</data>
</record>
</batch>
However, the sqlldr gives me an error:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table BATCH_TABLE, column XML_DATA.
ORA-21700: object does not exist or is marked for delete
ORA-06512: at "SYS.XMLTYPE", line 0
ORA-06512: at line 1
If I remove the first two lines
"<?xml version="2.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>"
and
"<!DOCTYPE databatch SYSTEM "databatch.dtd">"
from data.xml everything works, and the contentents of data.xml are loaded into the table.
Any idea what I'm missing here? Likely the problem is with special characters.
Thanks in advance,

I'm able to load your file just by removing the second line <!DOCTYPE databatch SYSTEM "databatch.dtd">. I dont have your dtd file, so skipped that line. Can you check if it's problem with ur DTD?

Loading file with empty/blank values

My datas are in a file and my target is a DB2 table wich contains numeric columns, date columns, text columns (CHAR, VARCHAR)...
If I load this file with Sunopsis with "KLM File to SQL", when the value of the column is blank in the file, the colum in the target table is null
Now, with ODI and "LKM File to SQL", when the value of the colum is blank in the file, the data in the target table is :
- null if it's a date
- "0" if it's a numeric column
- spaces if it's a text column
Can you explain me why the result is different with the 2 tools ? I want that ODI make the same thing than Sunopsis.
Thanks.

For those who are interested, the problem come from the differents drivers used for files :
In Sunopsis, by default :
-     driver :     com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.FileDriver
-     url jdbc :      jdbc:snps:file
In ODI
-     driver :      com.sunopsis.jdbc.driver.file.FileDriver
-     url jdbc :      jdbc:snps:dbfile
Problem solved.

Load File with wildcards?

Hello,
how could I load files with this pattern:
ausw_[name]_[date].xls (without the brackets)
Workbook workbook = Workbook.getWorkbook(new File("C:\\extracts/ausw_[name]_[date].xls"));
Could it be work with Regular Expressions?
Has anyone an idee?

Not loading from flat file using SQL*Loader

Hi,
I am trying to load from an excel file.
first i converted excel file into csv file and save it as as dat file.
in the excel file one column is salary and the data is like $100,000
while converting xls to csv the salary is changed to "$100,000 " (with quotes and a space after the amount)
after the last digit it will put a space.
in the control file of sql*loader i had given
salary "to_number('L999,999')"
my problem is the space after the salary in the dat file.---> "$100,000 "
what changes i have to make in the to_number function which is in the control file.

Need suggestions on loading 5000+ files using sql loader

Hi Guys,
I'm writing a shell script to load more than 5000 files using sql loader.
My intention is to load the files in parallel. When I checked the maximum number of sessions in v$parameter, it is around 700.
Before starting the data load, programmatically I am getting the number of current sessions and maximum number of sessions and keeping free 200 sessions without using them (max. no. of sessions minus 200 ) and utilizing the remaining ~300 sessions to load the files in parallel.
Also I am using a "wait" option to make the shell to wait until the 300 concurrent sql loader process to complete and moving further.
Is there any way to make it more efficient? Also is it possible to reduce the wait time without hard coding the seconds (For Example: If any of those 300 sessions becomes free, assign the next file to the job queue and so on..)
Please share your thoughts on this.
Thanks.

My intention is to load the files in parallel. When I checked the maximum number of sessions in v$parameter, it is around 700. Concurrent load you mean? Parallel processing implies take a workload, breaking that up into smaller workloads, and doing that in parallel. This is what the Parallel Query feature does in Oracle.
SQL*Loader does not do that for you. It uses a single session to load a single file. To make it run in parallel, requires manually starting multiple loader sessions and perform concurrent loads.
Have a look at Parallel Data Loading Models in the Oracle® Database Utilities guide. It goes into detail on how to perform concurrent loads. But you need to parallelise that workload yourself (as explained in the manual).
Before starting the data load, programmatically I am getting the number of current sessions and maximum number of sessions and keeping free 200 sessions without using them (max. no. of sessions minus 200 ) and utilizing the remaining ~300 sessions to load the files in parallel.

Is there any way to make it more efficient? Also is it possible to reduce the wait time without hard coding the seconds (For Example: If any of those 300 sessions becomes free, assign the next file to the job queue and so on..)Consider doing it the way that Parallel Query does (as I've mentioned above). Take the workload (all files). Break the workload up into smaller sub-workloads (e.g. 50 files to be loaded by a process). Start a 100 processes in parallel and provide each one with a sub-workload to do (100 processes each loading 50 odd files).
This is a lot easier to manage than starting for example a 5000 load processes and then trying some kind of delay method to ensure that not all hit the database at the same time.
I'm loading about 100+ files (3+ million rows) every 60 seconds 24x7 using SQL*Loader. Oracle is quite scalable and SQL*Loader quite capable.

Problems with compressing files with right hand click. it does not work.

Problems with compressing files with right hand click.
I am using the compress function in the Mac OS (File > Compress XX) from time to time. Today it does not work anymore. OS 10.5.6
I get a message: The content list cannot be created for compressing.
I tried it with files and folders and keep getting this message. Anybody any idea as to how to fix this

Thanks I love my macbook!!!!
I also got further problems such as copy-paste not working etc.
so I fixed it just this morning by running Applejack 1.5 and am back up running noticing your post.
thanks for helping though!

Issue while loading a csv file using sql*loader...

Hi,
I am loading a csv file using sql*loader.
On the number columns where there is data populated in them, decimal number/integers, the row errors out on the error -
ORA-01722: invalid number
I tried checking the value picking from the excel,
and found the chr(13),chr(32),chr(10) values characters on the value.
ex: select length('0.21') from dual is giving a value of 7.
When i checked each character as
select ascii(substr('0.21',5,1) from dual is returning a value 9...etc.
I tried the following command....
"to_number(trim(replace(replace(replace(replace(:std_cost_price_scala,chr(9),''),chr(32),''),chr(13),''),chr(10),'')))",
to remove all the non-number special characters. But still facing the error.
Please let me know, any solution for this error.
Thanks in advance.

Can I have two Data Files in One control file of sql*loader tool

hi,
Can someone help me out. is it possible to have two Data Files in one control file of Sql*loader.
And isit possible to run 10,000 records before lunch and 10,000 records before tea and 10,000 records before evening session by giving breaks after every 10,000 records.
Thanks
Ram

Yes. You can specify two datafiles in one control file and can load using sql loader.
I give you the sample control file.
Load DATA
INFILE 'TEST1.CSV'
INFILE 'TEST2.CSV'
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE TEST_P
FIELDS TERMINATED BY "," OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(COL_1,
COL_2,
COL_n)
Hope It will help you.

can u tell me why I need to increase size of table columns upto max value?although length of data is soo much less.
kindly check it..thnx in advance...

No database version of course. Unimportant.
If I recall correctly, it is 'integer external ' and you would best double quoting the alphanumerics (which you didn't ).
Try changing integer in integer external in the ctl file.

Problem opening PDF files with adobe

I cannot get adobe to open my pdf files. Not from internet nor from desktop.
I downloads fine,. I have installed and reinstalled several times.
If I try to open it looks like it opens but closes immediately. I tried to open adobe, but nothing. A grey screen and that's it. I cannot access the help button

Yes, I finally got it working using number 2:-) Thank you very much

Concatenate positions in control file for sql*loader utility.

Is there a way to concatenate several character positions in a control file for sql*loader???
example... field1 position(1:3) || position(5:7) ????
I would rather not create any unnecessary temp tables for a straight load...

How about...
/code
field1 position(1:7) char "substr(:field1, 1, 3) || substr(:field1, 5)"

Upload Multiple files in SQL * Loader in one session

Dear all,
I want to upload multiple files using SQL*Loader in one go. In Unix its very easy as I have a quite experience of that. Could any body tell what is a way in Windows to upload multiple files in one go while using SQL * Loader. I want to run that using DOS's Batch file.
Thanks
Ghulam

In Unix its very easy like we are putting $ sign.
sqlldr userid=?????/?????
control="/u12/cad_delta.ctl",log="/u12/full_extract/$1",data="/u12/$1",bad="/u12//full_extract/$1",errors=500,silent=feedback
Suggest for Windows? It should read all .DAT files of the Windows Folder.
Thanks

Loading data by sql loader in oracle 10g on linux

I am trying to load data in Oracle 10g on linux by using sql loader, but getting error
Problem in log showing that field length of SURNAME field is more than table field size.
Following is the error in log file of sql loader
Record 21: Rejected - Error on table TABLE1, column
SURNAME.
ORA-12899: value too large for column SURNAME (actual: 65, maximum: 64)
and it is evident from following controlfile that i am using trim to discard any space then why it is giving an error.
LOAD DATA
TRUNCATE
INTO TABLE TABLE1
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ',' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
ID INTEGER EXTERNAL,
OPTION1 CHAR,
REF1 CHAR,
OTHER_REF CHAR,
TITLE "TRIM(:TITLE)",
FORENAME "TRIM(:FORENAME)",
SURNAME "TRIM(:SURNAME)",
JOINT_TITLE "TRIM(:JOINT_TITLE)",
JOINT_FORENAME "TRIM(:JOINT_FORENAME)",
JOINT_SURNAME "TRIM(:JOINT_SURNAME)",
I checked the bad file and count number of characters, they are 64 characters.
When i am inserting individual record from bad file by sql loader, it is loading

Probably your database character set is multi-byte. That is %UTF8 or AL16UTF16%
Post your NLS Database Parameters value
select * from nls_database_parameters;
In General varchar2(65) by default means 65 BYTES unless
you have changed your Defalut NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS parameter from BYTE to CHAR.

Error in loading data using SQL loader

I am getting a error like ‘SQL*Loader -350 syntax error of illegal combination of non-alphanumeric characters’ while loading a file using SQL loader in RHEL. The command used to run SQL*Loader is:
Sqlldr userid=<username>/<password> control =data.ctl
The control file, data.ctl is :
LOAD data
infile '/home/oraprod/data.txt'
append into table test
empid terminated by ',',
fname terminated by ',',
lname terminated by ',',
salary terminated by whitespace
The data.txt file is:
1,Kaushal,halani,5000
2,Chetan,halani,1000
I hope, my question is clear.
Please revert with the reply to my query.
Regards

Replace ''{" by "(" in your control file
LOAD data
infile 'c:\data.txt'
append into table emp_t
empid terminated by ',',
fname terminated by ',',
lname terminated by ',',
salary terminated by whitespace
