SQL Loader Null Value for Date

Dear buddies,
This is how my date column is in my control file.
dtEdu timestamp(6) with local time zone "YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS" "nvl (to_date (:dtEdu, 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'), to_date ('1982-03-01 00:00:00', 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SS'))", The problem is some of the columns in dtEdu has NULL values and I couldn't load them.
So, trying to replace it with something else.
Could someone help me?
Thanks a lot.
Nith

I don't know how your so called "NULL" values look like, but if the null data is actually made up of blanks, try adding LTRIM() around :dtEdu.

SQL Loader: Null value in column

Have a tab delimited file, in UNIX
Some of the inbetween columns have null values
The records are failing to load with null column values.
I tried:
col10 nullif col10 ="(null)"
My control file is:
load data
infile 'abc.txt'
into table XX_data
fields terminated by X'09' optionally enclosed by '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
( col1,
col2 nullif col2 ="(null)",
col3)

Sample data is tab delimited file. For some reason, it has problem reading the second date (+time) column in the same record when there are null values in preceding columns. It says:

Check for null value for Date Field

Hello everyone,
I have a database that consist of date field and also a bean that will able to access the db.
here are my example:-
private int setDate(int date) {
this.date = date;
private void getDate {
return date;
later, I entered a date value and wanna check whether the date is on the database or not. SO, do you all have any idea?

Perhaps before passing your date off to a primitive int, you could pass it to an [Integer] object. Then check to see if that object is null;
Integer d = new Integer(int value);
if (d == null) {
}

How do I set a NULL value for the parameter field

Hi
I've another question. I'm going to set single values for parameter fields.
// e.g. set today for StartDate parameter field
fc.setCurrentValue("", "StartDate", new Date());
It should be possible to set a NULL value for date parameter fields.
fc.setCurrentValue("", "StartDate", (Date)null);
But this do not work. How do I set a NULL value correctly?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Thomas

First question - is it a stored procedure parameter?
You can't set a regular parameter field value to a null value.
There was an issue with old version of the JRC, where it was allowing null to go through, but had unexpected behavior at times.
Sincerely,
Ted Ueda

ORA-01841 Error when value for date col is NULL in .dat (using SQL Loader)

Hello Gurus,
I have some data in .dat file which needs to be loaded into oracle table. I am using SQL * Loader to do the job. Although "NULLIF col_name =BLANKS" works for character datatype, but when value for date col is NULL then I get ORA-01841 error. I have to make NULL for all rows withour value for date column
Early reply will be highly appreciated

Hi,
May be this problem is not with the NULLIF. The value for the date column is not in proper date format.
create table:
create table kk (empno number, ename varchar2(20), deptno number, hiredate date)
Control file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'd:\kk\empdata.dat'
insert into TABLE kk ( empno position (1:2) integer external,
ename position(4:5) char NULLIF ename=BLANKS,
deptno position (7:8) integer external NULLIF deptno=BLANKS,
hiredate position (10:20) date NULLIF hiredate=BLANKS)
data file:
10 KK 01-jan-2005
20 10
SELECT * FROM KK;
EMPNO ENAME DEPTNO HIREDATE
10 KK 01-JAN-05
20 10
Verify the data file.
Hope it will help

I create a sql*loader concurrent program to load the data. the data can be loaded into the table successfully(The chinese customer name is correct). Only for the aborted lines, it will be listed in the outtput of the concurrent request, but out of my expect, the chinese characters in the output are displayed as '?'.
How to solve the issue? Thanks.

Pro*C & SQLDA with NULL value for predicate column

Hi: I am using a C program to update a table via a dynamic sql (method 4) and SQLDA. In the update statement predicate, I have place holders (as in TBLCOL=:C000). One of the columns in the predicate contains null values, so I set L[n] = 0, V[n] = pData (which pData[0] = '\0'), *(I[n]) = -1, and T[n] = 5 (for text). I cannot find the row that I know is there.
I cannot change my statement to contain TBLCOL IS NULL, since I don't know ahead of time if I'm looking for rows with null values for this column. The Pro*C manual says that by setting the appropriate *(I[n]) = -1, it indicates to Oracle to simulate the "IS NULL" clause, and update the appropriate rows. In my case, I receive 1403 as SQLCODE when I use TBLCOL=:C000 vs TBLCOL IS NULL. What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help.

You should include these columns as well;
ChangeType (see mxi_changetype)
ValOwner (repository)
UserID ("jobid=<>", usermskey, GUI (mmc), DG (dyngrp), reconcile)
IdAudit (This is the event task (add and del member for assignments)
ParentAuditId (AuditID of parent which last updated the attribute, not consistent)
ChangedBy (Holds the MSKEY of the user which last changed the attribute)
ExpiryTime
to make sure you get a fuller picture of the audit record.
Your selection does not cover all events and descriptions

Can SQL*Loader be used for Oracle html pages, for e.g Customer, Tasks etc

Hi,
Can SQL*Loader be used for Oracle html pages, for e.g Customer, Tasks etc.
Reason: We have a job that creates leads, tasks in 11i, but r12 is not working as expected, an SR is open with Oracle for a long time and no solution so far. I am thinking of using SQL*loader to populate the data, but these are html pages. Will SQL* Loader work?

Appreciate your inputs.

Default value for date

Hi experts,
I want to set default value for dates..
My screen has : date_from & date_to.
date_to : will be current date(today's date) if Eg: 27.08.2007 (here i used NOW())
then date_from must be 01.06.2007 (3 months logic)
similarly : if date_to is 01.01.2007
then date_from must be 01.11.2006
kindly help...
Thanks a lot!!!
Regards,
Bijal

Hi Bijal
(DGET(NOW(),'D'))-1) returns number which is 0 incase of 01.08.2007, so DADD(NOW(),-0,'D') is again ideally same day 01.08.2007 .
So, DADD(DADD(NOW(),-0,'D'),-2,'M') should give you 01.06.2007.
<b> IT WORKS!!! -
I have tested it now.</b>
Please check and revert.
The IF formula which sent actually returns String, so use DVAL(IF(DGET(NOW(),'D')!=1,DADD(DADD(NOW(),-((DGET(NOW(),'D'))-1),'D'),-2,'M'),DADD(NOW(),-2,'M')))

Validations: Null value for LOVs

See http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24317:239
I have a "Item is not null" validation on that LOV item. The item has "Display null value" set to Yes and a LOV of STATIC2:1,2,3
If I leave the Null return value for the item to blank, the engine defaults it to %null% and the validation "knows" that this is really the same as a null value and so it kicks in (good).
But if I change the Null return value to something like %, the validation doesn't complain, it thinks that this is a not-null value.
Why the inconsistency? Does this mean that we are expected to use the default value of the Null return value i.e. leave it blank and let the engine put in %null%?
Comments? Thanks

Vikas - The declarative not null validation types recognize "actual" null or %null% as null values. This equivalence holds in numerous other situtations during page processing. Why does %null% get special treatment? A convention was chosen and that's it. And it works for almost everybody in almost all situations. In other words, it's useful, if not perfect. If you want a different value, you can specify one in the LOV (as you described). Then you can recognize and convert these values to null or %null% in an after-submit computation so that validations and other mechanisms work normally. (Perhaps it would help if the Builder created such a computation for items having LOVs with specified null values.) One use case for using a specified null return value might be where you want to distinguish a POSTed "actual" null value from the selected "null" value for which you have specified a null return value. Then you can tell if the value was selected from the LOV or whether it got a null value from the item's cache or source methods.

CFQUERY results return a null value for a varchar(MAX) field in SQL

I'm using ColdFusion 9 and SQL Server 2008.
One the fields in a table is defined as a varchar(MAX). Other fields in the table are ints, varchar(8000) varchar(256), etc.
When doing a query for records in the table and displaying the results using the cfdump tag, I see values in all fields in a row EXCEPT for the data in the varchar(MAX) field. The varchar(MAX) field shows a null value. Yet, I can verify through the SQL interface or through Microsoft Access querying the database that the varchar(MAX) fields have data.
How can I retrieve data from this field type?
Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm wrong. I AM getting query results, but not what I expect. I had maxrows set as a variable in my original query, so when it returned 5 rows, the first row always showed as [empty string]. I've tried numerous queries now (where UID >100, where UID >200, where UID> 300, etc.) When I use <CFDUMP> to return the query, the first records always shows empty strings.
Here's an example of some records retrieved from this simple query:
<CFQUERY NAME="BuildBack" DATASOURCE="STORBASE">
SELECT *
FROM CallUnit
WHERE CCU_ID>172
</CFQUERY>
Any ideas?

Grouping to display null values for all the missing dates

Hi SAP,
I am trying to display '0.00' value for all the missing dates in my crystal reports as follows:
17-Jan-14     40.00
18-Jan-14       0.00
19-Jan-14       0.00
20-Jan-14     80.00
However, my crystal report is showing as follows:
17-Jan-14     40.00
18-Jan-14       0.00
19-Jan-14
20-Jan-14     80.00
The missing dates with no data are group together and my '0.00' value is not. Kindly advise me the solution. The formula is shown as per attached.
Thank you.
Regards.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Fyi, I am using a formula field in crystal report to display "0.00" for days in between as follows:
whileprintingrecords;
if Days_Between({Command.DocDate},next({Command.DocDate}),'dd-MMM-yy') = "" then "" else "0.00"
There is another formula field in crystal report to display the missing dates in between as follows:
whileprintingrecords;
Days_Between({Command.DocDate},next({Command.DocDate}),'dd-MMM-yy')
Below is my report custom functions:
Function Days_Between (datefield as datetime, nextdatefield as datetime, format as string)
' This function is only used to display what data is missing within a specified date range...output type is text
dim thisdate as date
dim nextdate as date
dim output as string 'output is the text display
dim daysbetween as number
dim looptimes as number
looptimes = 0
daysbetween = 0
output = ""
thisdate = datevalue(datefield) + 1
nextdate = datevalue(nextdatefield)
if nextdate - thisdate > 1 then daysbetween = nextdate - thisdate else daysbetween = 1
do
if nextdate - thisdate > 1 _
then output = output + totext(thisdate, format) + chr(10) _
else _
if nextdate - thisdate > 0 _
then output = output + totext(thisdate, format)
looptimes = looptimes + 1
thisdate = thisdate + 1
loop until looptimes = daysbetween
    Days_Between = output
End Function
The issue arise when when there is more than one missing dates in between but the null values ("0.00") displayed is only for the first missing dates and not for all the missing dates.

Data source value for data source reportData was null

hi i'm using struts 2 and jasperreports my problem is
it generate a pdf file with labels but no data in it..
and when i try to look at the logs of my sun application server
it says Data source value for datasource reportData was null.
reportData is an ArrayList of Personnel object.

public class EIS_HR_004_JASPER extends eisSupport {
    private String reportId;
    private String dateStart = null;
    private String dateEnd = null;
    private String pdfFile;
    private final static String _REPORT_FOLDER = "EIS_HR_003";
    private Report thisReport;
    private String dateRange;
    private ArrayList<Personnel> reportData;
    public String execute(ActionMapping mapping,ActionForm form,
            HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
            throws Exception {
        ReportBean reportBean = new ReportBean();
        setThisReport(reportBean.getReport(getReportId()));
        reportData=new ArrayList<Personnel>();
        Personnel p1=new Personnel();
        p1.setSurname("Dela Cruz");
        p1.setFirstname("Juan");
        p1.setExamcode("CSC111");
        p1.setExamdate("January 1,2003");
        Personnel p2=new Personnel();
        p2.setSurname("Cruz");

        p2.setExamcode("CSC222");
        p2.setExamdate("December 2,2003");
        reportData.add(p1);
        reportData.add(p2);
     try {
          JasperCompileManager.compileReportToFile(
                    "apps/reports/templates/hr004.jrxml",
                    "apps/reports/templates/hr004.jasper");
     } catch (Exception e) {
          e.printStackTrace();
          return ERROR;
         return SUCCESS;
    public ArrayList<Personnel> getReportData() {
       // setReportData();
        return reportData;
    here is part of my struts.xml
<action name="EIS-HR-004_JASPER" class="eis.report.EIS_HR_004_JASPER">
            <result name="error">/apps/reports/ReportNotFound.jsp</result>
            <result name="success" type="jasper">

            </result>
        </action> i dont know why it doesnt retrieved the data from the ArrayList?
please help me..Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Looking at the code, it seems you are compiling a JRXML and that is all.
Instead, you should fill it with data and then export the result to PDF.
No wonder you don't see any result.
You need to learn more about how JasperReports work. For a start, I can tell you that you could compile JRXML files as part of the application build process using an Ant task, and not dynamically, like you did. But no matter how you compile the report template, you actually need to fill it with data, using the JasperFillManager and then export it to PDF using the JasperExportManager.
You can see all this in our samples in the /demo/samples folder that is part of our project distribution package. There is even a sample Web application in the /demo/samples/webapp folder.
I hope this helps.
