SQL*Loader-704: Internal error

Dear all,
I have run this command in windows
sqlplus a/b@c
it is connected successfully, I can run sql and results returned.
however, I run this sql loader command
sqlldr a/b@c control=test.ctl data=test.txt
but error is returned
SQL*Loader-704: Internal error: ulconnect: OCIServerAttach [0]
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
what are the reasons and why?
thank you very much!

Hi,
I had the same problem. I already fixed it!
I use two ORACLE_HOME, one for Oracle Client and one for Oracle Developer Suite 10g. The sqlplus.exe is in both BIN directories, but sqlldr is only in client's ORACLE_HOME\BIN directory.
When you run sqlplus.exe, it uses tnsnames.ora from devsuite's ORACLE_HOME\NETWORK\ADMIN, I think, it contains rows for SID=c.
When you run sqlldr.exe, it uses tnsnames.ora from client's ORACLE_HOME\NETWORK\ADMIN, I think, it does not contain rows for SID=c (my tnsnames.ora did not contain them).
Make both tnsnames.ora the same and your problem will be fixed.

  • SQL Loader-704: Internal error: Maximum record length must be = [10000000]

    Hi,
    running SQL*Loader (Release 8.1.7.2.1) causes an error "SQL*Loader-704: Internal error: Maximum record length must be <= [10000000]". This error occurs when SQLLoader is trying to load several thousand records into a database table. Each record is less than 250 bytes in length.
    Any idea what could cause the problem?
    Thanks in advance!

    And here's an extract from the log file generated by SQLLoader :

    As a second guess, the terminator changes or goes missing at some point in the data file. If you are running on *NIX, try wc -l data_file_name.  This will give a count of the number of lines (delimited by CHR(10) ) that are in the file.  If this is not close to the number you expected, then that is your problem.
    You could also try gradually working through the data file loading 100 records, then 200, then 300 etc. to see where it starts to fail.

  • SQL*Loader-704: Internal error: ulconnect: OCIInitialize [1804]

    I tried using MassLoader to load some data into the local database on the Oracle 9i server. MassLoader first generated the data files and then called sqlldr to load the data into the db. It failed and I received SQL*Loader-704: Internal error: ulconnect: OCIInitialize [1804]. I tried with Oracle 8i sqlldr and it worked fine. So, the problem seems to be with Oracle 9i sqlldr. Is there any fix for this or how can I investigate it? Thanks in advance.

    The problem lies in permissions in $ORACLE_HOME. I had the problem and came up with two solutions. The first was to chmod 6751 sqlldr. The second I liked better was to go thru the subdirectores and insure that all of the files were marked as accessable by others. After talking with fellow dba's we changed the permissions to 755 on all directories but bin. Again this might not be the correct fix but it works
    try again after changing
    ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data
    to
    ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_RDBMS/ocommon/nls/admin/data
    try above solution and let us know.

    This means that the tnsname being used is not being recognized by Oracle. Check your tnsnames.ora file and see if you're using the correct connection string for the database you are trying to connect to. Furthermore, do you have more than one oracle installation on your PC? If that is the case then you should copy the correct entry and replicate it to other tnsnames.ora files. Only for the sake of knowledge, I would like to know if you are using the connection string from the sqlplus session of your PC, but you're executing SQL Loader from another machine?

    I have an Oracle_Home env variable set to the oracle directory.
    Please help

    I know its an older thread and the thread was about Oracle 10.2.x I worked on client 11.2.0.1 but I thought I can share what I did to add sqlldr to instant Oracle client.
    I used Oracle instant client 11.2.0.1 with sqlplus. I also downloaded and installed the full Oracle client 11.2.0.1 to have access to the sqlldr files. I chose Custom install and only installed the utilities.
    - Within the oracle instant client directory make sure that you put all sqlldr related files into a bin directory.
    - Make sure you have all libraries that are needed by sqlldr copied from the full client into the bin directory. Also copy the sqlldr.exe into the bin folder.
    - Copy directory nls from the full client to the instant client (especially the information in subdirectory "data" seems to be needed)
    - Copy directory rdbms from the full client to the instant client. This contains the error messages. I only copied mesg/oraus.msb and mesg/ulus.msb. However, if you dont get all files you risk that you will not have meaningful error messages.
    - Copy directory oracore from the full client to the instant client (especially the information in subdirectory "timezone" seem to be needed).
    To find out which files sqlldr is trying to access you can use strace, truss on Unix systems or ProcessMonitor on Windows.
    To run the sqlldr I needed to set the environment variable ORACLE_HOME to the instant client directory. I also created a tnsnames.ora file and set TNS_ADMIN to the directory the tnsnames.ora is located.

  • Sql@loader-704  and ORA-12154: error messages when trying to load data with SQL Loader

    I have a data base with two tables that is used by Apex 4.2. One table has 800,000 records . The other has 7 million records
    The client recently upgraded from Apex 3.2 to Apex 4.2 . We exported/imported the data to the new location with no problems
    The source of the data is an old mainframe system; I needed to make changes to the source data and then load the tables.
    The first time I loaded the data i did it from a command line with SQL loader
    Now when I try to load the data I get this message:
    sql@loader-704 Internal error: ulconnect OCISERVERATTACH
    ORA-12154: tns:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
    I've searched for postings on these error message and they all seem to say that SQL Ldr can't find my TNSNAMES file.
    I am able to  connect and load data with SQL Developer; so SQL developer is able to find the TNSNAMES file
    However SQL Developer will not let me load a file this big
    I have also tried to load the file within Apex  (SQL Workshop/ Utilities) but again, the file is too big.
    So it seems like SQL Loader is the only option
    I did find one post online that said to set an environment variable with the path to the TNSNAMES file, but that didn't work..
    Not sure what else to try or where to look
    thanks

    Hi,
    You must have more than one tnsnames file or multiple installations of oracle. What i suggest you do (as I'm sure will be mentioned in ed's link that you were already pointed at) is the following (* i assume you are on windows?)
    open a command prompt
    set TNS_ADMIN=PATH_TO_DIRECTOT_THAT_CONTAINS_CORRECT_TNSNAMES_FILE (i.e. something like set TNS_ADMIN=c:\oracle\network\admin)
    This will tell oracle use the config files you find here and no others
    then try sqlldr user/pass@db (in the same dos window)
    see if that connects and let us know.
    Cheers,

  • SQL*Loader-704 Error

    Hi, I'm trying to get a simple PHP page working on the pre-compiled HP-UX Apache Server(Itanium Build), that calls a Unix script which in turn submits a job. In this process SQL*Loader is called, and while it works just fine when I'm in the Unix prompt, when I try it from the PHP Page, it fails with the following error:
    SQL*Loader-704: Internal error: ulconnect: OCIServerAttach[0]
    ORA-30136: Drop-in compatibility is not supported for this application
    Any thoughts?
    Also: PHP version is 5.2.0 if it matters, and oci8 is being included and is functioning properly.

    ...Ugh, it was working for about 5 seconds on my test page, but now it's just giving me an exit status of 137(Anyone have any clue what this means? I can't find anything that tells me what these exit number means and it's really starting to bug me) after I commented and uncommented a few lines to check to see what caused it to work...Hah! Works again. New Question time:
    LD_PRELOAD, what does this variable have to do with SQL*Loader, since I'm using it in the apache start-up to do some stuff with oci8[No idea if it's necessary] and when I, assumedly, set it to "null" it works, but when it keeps my initial value it breaks and gives me my 137 error status with my original errors.

    Have you checked the sqlnet.log file for an indication of the underlying error? You can also enable network tracing in the sqlnet.ora file, by setting trace_level_client=16.

  • SQL*Loader-704 & ORA-12535 error , Oracle 9i AIX, Windows Client

    Hi All,
    I try to run SQL*Loader from Windows Client to Oracle 9i server on AIX. The control file is in the windows machine.
    C:\SqlLdr user/password@myoradb control=mycontrol.ctl
    (the data is 300,000 rows, on the same control file)
    I get this error :

    ORA-12535: TNS:Operation timed out.
    FYI, from the same machine, TNSPing is OK, SQL*Plus run perfectly.
    What is wrong here ?
    Should I copy the CTL file into the AIX Server and run the SQL*Plus from AIX client console ?
    Thank you for your help,

  • SQL*Loader-704 & ORA-12560

    Hi my oracle friends...
    I'm getting this error when trying to use sqlldr:

    And I'm using the right command-line:

    Another doubt is: how Oracle knows wich of my services they need to connect?
    Can I pass this in sqlldr command-line parameters or control file?
    Thanks 4 all...

    for this:
    how Oracle knows wich of my services they need to connect?
    Normally you have defined an environment variable called ORACLE_SID that tells oracle what instance to connect.
    try doing the following for getting the value of the variable:
    unix: echo $ORACLE_SID
    windows: echo %ORACLE_SID%
    And for the error, this is what I found, probably some one else have a different opinion:
    Error:     LDR 704
    Text:     Internal error: %s [%d]
    Cause:     An internal error has occurred.
    Action:     Make a note of the message and the number, then contact customer
         support.

  • SQL Loader Multibyte character error, LENGTH SEMANTICS CHARACTER

    Hi,
    startet SQL Loader Multibyte character error
    {thread:id=2340726}
    some mod locked the thread, why?
    the solution for others:
    add LENGTH SEMANTICS CHARACTER to the controlfile
    LOAD DATA characterset UTF8 LENGTH SEMANTICS CHARACTER
    TRUNCATE                              
    INTO TABLE utf8file_to_we8mswin1252
      ID    CHAR(1)     
    , TEXT  CHAR(40)
    )Regards

    Hi Werner,
    on my linux desktop:
    $ file test.dat
    test.dat: UTF-8 Unicode text, with very long lines
    my colleague is working on a windows system.
    On both systems exact the same error from SQL Loader.
    Btw, try with different number of special characters (german umlaute and euro) and there is no chance to load without the error
    when to many (?) special characters or data is long as column length and special characters included.
    Regards
    Michael

  • SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 5.

    Hi ,iam  new for  using  sql*loader, with minimum  understanding from  the forums,Iam  trying  to load data  from a flat  file (.dat) to oracle database.
    here  is  my  .dat file-------> data_file.dat
    aaaa, mumbai
    bbbb,kolkat
    here is  my  .ctl fle ------->ctrl_file.ctl
    load data 
    infile 'F:\oracle_utils_kiranorcl\KIR_ORA_DIR\emp_data.dat'
    into table  test
    fields terminated by  ","
    ( NAM  varchar2(12),
    PLACE varchar2(8)
    here  is  db_tab_name  structure 
    create table test (nam Varchar2(15),place Varchar2(10));
    SQL> select *  from  test;
    NAM             PLACE
    now.......
    iam  running  the command on  cmd window on  os  level

    ( NAM varchar2(12),
           ^
    I  tried so many  times by creating  new ctl  files further. But  couldn't  able get  what  is  the  wrong  thing  ????
    Please help me ..
    Thanks

    Instead of:
    fields terminated by  ","
    ( NAM  varchar2(12),
    PLACE varchar2(8)
    try:
    fields terminated by  ","
    ( NAM  char,
    PLACE char
