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

SQL*LOADER ERROR 비교 (ORA-2359, ORA-1401)

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 2002-04-09
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))

Thanks,

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.

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.

Sql loader error

I am using sql loader command line sqlldr to load 141306 records into my table. It ended with an error message --
SQL*Loader-605: Non-data dependent ORACLE error occurred -- load discontinued.
Checking for data load failures
Checking Log data for clinic_biotox table data load
90970 Rows successfully loaded.
78 Rows not loaded due to data errors.
And moreover (90970+78 = 91048) which is much less than 141306
Any ideas as to what might have happened ?
Thanks

Have you checked the sqlldr log file (the name of which you should have supplied at the command line)? This sometimes provides additional information as to what occurred.
I would also say that the reason why your record counts do not tally up like they should would be because the error occurred before sqlldr was able to complete the load.
The last thing I can offer would be for you to check what your allowable error threshold is within your logfile. It could be that you exceeded the allowable number of bad records and as such caused the load to fail.
Hope this helps...

SQL Loader error while loading a date field

Hi,
I am getting the below error while I am trying to load a table with a date field using SQL Loader
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table RPT_HOST_USAGE, column USAGE_TIMESTAMP.
ORA-01861: literal does not match format string
My input file is as below

I have tried options like USAGE_TIMESTAMP TO_DATE(USAGE_TIMESTAMP,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS') but didn't work...
Can you please tell me how to resolve this issue?
Any pointers on this will be helpful
Thanks
Mahesh

I went back and looked at some of my old *.ctl files and I did something simlilar to what you mentioned and it worked for me, but I had surrounded the option in double-quotes and included a colon in front of the item. Example:
TECHNOLOGY_ID,
ENVIRONMENT_ID,
USAGE_TIMESTAMP "to_date(:USAGE_TIMESTAMP,'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS')",
AVG_CPU_PCT,
AVG_MEMORY_MB,
....

SQL*LOADER ERROR WHILE LOADING ARABIAN DATA INTO UNICODE DATABSE

Hi,
I was trying to load arabic data using sql*loader and the datafile is in .CSV format.But i am facing a error Value to large for a column while loading and some data are not loaded due to this error.My target database character set is..
Characterset : AL32UTF8
National Character set: AL16UTF16
DB version:-10g release 2
OS:-Cent OS 5.0/redhat linux 5.0
I have specified the characterset AR8MSWIN1256/AR8ISO8859P6/AL32UTF8/UTF8 separately in the sql*loader control file,but getting the same error for all the cases.
I have also created the table with CHAR semantics and have specified the "LENGTH SEMANTICS CHAR" in the sql*loader control file but again same error is coming.
I have also changed the NLS_LANG setting.
I am getting stunned that the data that i am goin to load using sql*loader, it is resided in the same database itself.But when i am generating a csv for those datas and trying to load using sql*loader to the same database and same table structure,i am getting this error value too large for a column.
whats the probs basically???? whether the datafile is problemetic as i am generating the csv programmetically or is there any problem in my approach of loading unicode data.
Please help...

Here's what we know from what you've posted:
1. You may be running on an unsupported operating system ... likely not the issue but who knows.
2. You are using some patch level of 10gR2 of the Oracle database but we don't know which one.
3. You've had some kind of error but we have no idea which error or the error message displayed with it.
4. You are loading data into a table but we do not have any DDL so we do not know the data types.
Perhaps you could provide a bit more information.
Perhaps a lot more. <g>

SQL*Loader Error Field in data file exceeds maximum length", version 8.1.6

Hi All,
I am trying to load a data file into a database table using SQL loader. I
received the data in an data file but I saved it as a pipe delimited
file.
When I run the SQL Loader command no records are loaded - looking at the log
file I get the following error:
Rejected - Error on table FARESDATA, column FANOTESIN.
Then I tried with substr and doesnt seem to work for values greater than 4000 chars, it only works if the field value is below 4000 chars (say doing a substr for first 3000 chars).
see the code--------
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'p.dat'
APPEND INTO TABLE PROSPECTUS
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
Fanotesin char(4000) "substr(:fanotesin,1,4000)"
We get the error ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column when using substr for 4000 chars.
Please help!
Thanks,
Rajesh

I believe the problem here is that the ORACLE database regards anything > 4000chs as a CLOB (or LONG). 4000 is the maximum length of a varchar2 field in the database, although of course you can declare larger values in PL/SQL. (Since the incoming data is > 4000 chs it is regarded as a LONG and you cannot therefore use SUBSTR on it)
I think that you must either truncate your data before loading or load into a table with the offending field as a CLOB (or LONG)
and then use PL/SQL to recreate it in a table with a varchar2(4000) which is otherwise identical. (You can select from a LONG into a varchar2(32000) for example and then truncate before writing out to the new table).

The above is my control file
The file I am trying to load is a bmp file of size 811254 bytes
unfortunately the size is larger than 64 K hence I have to concatenate it
It cannot be broken into equal pieces
hence I decided to break it into size 50000 bytes each and tried to load 17 pieces and concatenate it as suggested by
metalink
However it does not work
The error message I get is as follows
