SQL loader for empty field at the end of the line

Hi,
I have following data file for sql loader. I am using Oracle 11.2. The table structure is table_a(id number, name varchar2(32), nbr number).
1, zzzz, 123
2, bbb,
3, ccc, 33
4, ddd,
Currently, I am using "TERMINATED BY ',' " in the control file for SQL loader. However row2 and row4 were thrown into the bad file. Any suggestion for me to load row2 and row4 into the table as well?
Thanks,

Two of three columns in your table are named with reserved words.
My first suggestion is to run this query:
SELECT keyword
FROM v$reserved_words
ORDER BY 1;My second suggestion is that your read the FAQ and learn how to use tags to post listings to these forums so we can read what you post.
My third suggestion is that you go to my SQL*Loader Demos page of my website:
http://www.morganslibrary.org/reference/sqlloader.html
and look up "TRAILING NULLCOLS."

Error loading large field with sql loader for 8i

I want to load a large field (30K) to a database, where I use "long" datatype for it. But I can't because it loads hexadecimal characters, or it get stuck in a loop and does not load anything. I have tried using clob and long in the database and using char(40000), char, and log varraw in the control file. Any idea or suggestion?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
from what I see you are running sqllldr in Windows and your database server is on AIX. Is it a remote server or a local network server?
The ORA-12170 error can be raised for many reasons: firewall issue, database down, listener down, bad sqlnet.ora parm, network trouble, etc
If your network is slow maybe that is the reason. You may post also SQLNET.ORa configuration and try to reconfigure parameters SQLNET.INBOUND_CONNECT_TIMEOUT, SQLNET.SEND_TIMEOUT, SQLNET.RECV_TIMEOUT in sqlnet.ora to larger values.
If your problem is not solved, please post your SQLNET.ORA configuration.
You can check here for details about setting it: Profile Parameters.

SQL*Loader and HTMLDB_APPLICATION_FILES

Hello!
Can I use SQL*Loader for loading data from file stored in HTMLDB_APPLICATION_FILES as blob to tables in database? Files are always CSV in my case.
Best regards,
Tom

Hello Maxim!
Of course files are stored in HTMLDB_APPLICATION_FILES as blobs and of course I can do 'select blob_content from htmldb.....' - BUT I have to get text from this blob, and copy certain words from this blob, NOT the blob itself.
Example: I have a file.csv. I upload it to HTMLDB_APPLICATION_FILES so it is stored there as a blob. Now I want copy data delimited by ';'(for example) to table in database.
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Tom

Different log file name in the Control file of SQL Loader

Dear all,
I get every day 3 log files with ftp from a Solaris Server to a Windows 2000 Server machine. In this Windows machine, we have an Oracle Database 9.2. These log files are in the following format: in<date>.log i.e. in20070429.log.
I would like to load this log file's data to an Oracle table every day and I would like to use SQL Loader for this job.
The problem is that the log file name is different every day.
How can I give this variable log file name in the Control file, which is used for the SQL Loader?
file.ctl
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'D:\gbal\in<date>.log'
APPEND INTO TABLE CHAT_SL
FIELDS TERMINATED BY WHITESPACE
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(SL1 DATE "Mon DD, YYYY HH:MI:SS FF3AM",
SL2 char,
SL3 DATE "Mon DD, YYYY HH:MI:SS FF3AM",
SL4 char,
SL5 char,
SL6 char,
SL7 char,
SL8 char,
SL9 char,
SL10 char,
SL11 char,
SL12 char,
SL13 char,
SL14 char,
SL15 char)
Do you have any better idea about this issue?
I thought of renaming the log file to an instant name, such as in.log, but how can I distinguish the desired log file, from the other two?
Thank you very much in advance.
Giorgos Baliotis

I don't have a direct solution for your problem.
However if you invoke the SQL loader from an Oracle stored procedure, it is possible to dynamically set control\log file.

SQL*Loader permission issue?

I have set up a run_all script on LINUX to invoke SQL*Loader for each table to be loaded. I can run this as the Oracle owner just fine. When I try to let the developer run this on dev, they get the following:
SQL*Loader: Release 9.2.0.1.0 - Production on Tue Apr 25 08:55:18 2006

SQL*Loader-128: unable to begin a session
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-27121: unable to determine size of shared memory segment
Linux Error: 13: Permission denied
They can use SQL*Plus on the command line with the userid and password from the SQL*Loader file. I don't want to have to run these for them every time, so any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Hi
Has the same ORACLE_HOME variable value of the Oracle owner and the developer?

Problem in SQL Loader

Hi Experts,
i'm using SQL Loader for loading data from an XML file into the DB , my control file was some thing like that :
load data
infile 'D:data.xml' "str '</dataNode>'"
replace
into table MY_TABLE
where dataNode is the records' separator, this was working fine, what i'm trying to do now is writing all the parameters to a PARFILE , then passing only the PARFILE to the sql loader like the following :
sqlldr PARFILE=myParaFile.par
where myParaFile looks like that :
userid=xxx/xxx
control=xxx.ctl
log=xxx.log
data=D:\data.xml
the problem now that i have removed the INFILE clause from the control file , and i have put the "data" parameter insetad on the PARFILE , the question now is Where shall i write "str '</dataNode>'" to tell the SQL Loader that the input data is in stream format and use </dataNode> as records' separator
I really appreciate your help.

My XML File:
<dataNode>
<ProductID>1</ProductID>
<Type>Phone</Type>
</dataNode>
<dataNode>
<ProductID>2</ProductID>
<Type>Sim</Type>
</dataNode>
My Control File :
load data
infile 'D:data.xml' "str '</dataNode>'"
replace
into table MY_TABLE
dummy filler terminated by "<dataNode>",
ProductID enclosed by "<ProductID>" and "</ProductID>",
Type enclosed by "<Type>" and "</Type>"

BLOB data and SQL Loader

Has any one used SQL Loader for BLOB data? I would think you can only use it for text type data.
Thanks,
Vic

If each blob is in a separate file, then you should be able to use LOBFILES to load them. Each row in the data file would need to have the name of the file containing the blob for that row. File ulcase9.ctl in the demo directory shows an example of using LOBFILES to load a lob column.
If you want the blob in the data file, then the data file needs to use types that have include length information in then, such as VARRAW, LONG VARRAW or VARRAWC. Also, the records for the data files cannot be terminated by a character string or newline. That's because the blob data might contain the character string or newline in the middle of its data. Instead, you would need to use the VAR record type.

Sql Loader - Parallel Direct Path Loading

Hi,
I want to load a few million records into a table. I read from OTN site that we can make use of Parallel Direct Loading Option. As given in the site, I split my source file into two and tried loading the file from two different sqlldr sessions simultaniously. I used two seperate control files for each session. The sessions started first is getting completed successfully. But the session which started second is giving the following error.
Will anyone Pls help to sort out the problem.
Error
"SQL*Loader-951: Error calling once/load initialization
ORA-00604: error occurred at recursive SQL level 1
ORA-00054: resource busy and acquire with NOWAIT specified "
I'm using oracle 9.0.1.1.1.
The Options I tried with both the sessions are :
Direct=true parallel=true.
loading method is append.
Thanks in Advance,
Tom

I've got a similar problem.
I'm running Informatica which runs SQL*Loader via OCI.
With direct & parallel my Indexes give me ORA-26002 - quite understandable.
As its all wrapped up, I cannot say SKIP_INDEX_MAINTENANCE directly.
1) Is there a way to give SQL*Loader some Default-Parameters? I read something about a File shrept.lst but I cannot find a reference in the Oracle documentation.
Something useful down this road?
2) when I omit parallel, what am I losing? I load one file into one partition of one table. I read the SQL*Loader Documentation but didn't get the message of the 'Intrasegment Parallel Loading' Paragraph. Is this using parallel? Or is it just enabling to use parallel (if there will be a second SQL*Loader)? If its all about 'enabling' I can easily omit this - I know there won't be a second SQL*Loader for this partition.

Kathrin

SQL Loader Control file help!!!

Hi All,
I was in the process of writing a control file for sql loader for an activity i am performing and would appreciate inputs from you all.
I have a table patient containing 44 columns, i have a column 'SEC_LANG_NAME' in which i have to insert data from a excel file.
The excel file contains 3 columns, PATIENT_ID, NAME,SEC_LANG_NAME, i just want to load the values present in 'SEC_LANG_NAME' column in excel file into the 'SEC_LANG_NAME' coulmn in the patient table using sqlloader and the condition is that PATIENT_ID in excel file should be equal to PATIENT_ID in the patient table.
as a first step i am converting this excel into a csv file, and then will shoot the sqlldr once i am done with control file, can someone please help me with the format of control file for this activity.
thanks in advance,
regards,
Edited by: user10243788 on Jan 3, 2010 12:09 AM

Hello user10243788.
It appears that your intent is to load data into an existing table that contains the key data and is only lacking a column of information. SQL*Loader itself is not built to do this; what it can do is load records to tables. You will have to use a two-step approach similar to what Srini has suggested. 1) If your process is able to be run local to the database server, an external table is a great option. If your process is instead run remote to the database server, SQL*Loader will allow you to load your data file to a table. 2) You will need to run a process to update the PATIENT table.
Here is a start of a control file based on the details that you've providedLOAD DATA
REPLACE
INTO patient_enhance
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","
( patient_id
, name FILLER
, sec_lang_name)Hope this helps,
Luke
Please mark the answer as helpful or answered if it is so. If not, provide additional details.
Always try to provide create table and insert table statements to help the forum members help you better.
Edited by: Luke Mackey on Jan 5, 2010 12:30 PM
oops, will have to load patient_id to do the update
