Automatic SQL Loader export

Hi,
Does anybody knows if it is possible to export more than one table in loader format in SQL developer.
I have no idea how it can be possible (scripting, java or sql extension...???)
If somebody has always managed to perform this king of stuff, can he help me ? I would give him eternal thanks ;-)
Thanks in advance,
Regards,

Automate SQL*LOADER

Hi,
I am working on a Decision Support System project.
I need to load flat files into Oracle tables through SQL * Loader. And the entire process should be invoked through JAVA front end.
How do I go about?
I will deeply appreciate any help.
Raghu.

Hi,
In our prev. project, We have customized-(automated) SQL*LOADER. There, we were using UNIX O/S. So We have used shell scripts for creating the control file (a script can create control file automatically). And it will call the sql loader and load the data into tables.
Here u can use same logic.
If ur flat file contents are in same format, u can use the static control files (means, at installation time u can create control files) and whenever u want this, u can call. Dont go for dynamic control files.
1. If u is using Java as front end, u can use native methods and call sql loader (exe). Problem is, U can not invoke, and such thing from client m/c. U can do it only from server side.
2. This way also u can try. By using external procedure method, u can call shared library and shared library can invoke sql loader (write a small C shared library program for invoking SQL*LOADER). Here, u can invoke SQL*LOADER from client m/c also.
3. One more ways is there. By using listener tech. u can invoke it. Create listener program and run on server side as back ground process. Whenever, there is request, it will sql loader.

SQL LOADER export ? And Help

1) The SQLLoader can export table to text file?
2) have any oracle tool to export table to text file? (Table include the BLOB field this field is store the image)
Thx very much.

1) Nope.
2) SQL*Plus. Or you can try SQL Developer. Just bring up the table data in a grid, right click on it, then export it in the format of your choice.
Oops, I forgot about your BLOB column. Not sure about that one. But since you asked for a text file, you'd would just have to eliminate that column since a text file can't contain an image.

Automate a sql loader job

Hi,
I need to automate schedule job to import excel files into Oracle tables using SQL Loader.
Can any one please tell me how to do this?
thanks
Jenny

Depends on a couple of factors.
If you are on a UNIX platform, you can create a shell script and schedule it with cron.
If you are on a Windows platform, you can create a batch file and schedule it with the Windows scheduler.
Or, if you are on Oracle 9i or 10g, you could use the external table feature instead of SQL*Loader. Then you could write a stored procedure to process the external table and schedule it using the Oracle scheduler (DBMS_JOB). This would probably be my preference.

Question for SQL Loader / IMP /EXPORT

hi all,
i just describe my example first : -
TABLE A have five columns.
a_column,b_column,c_column,d_column,e_column.
and have 1000 records.
i want to remove c_column & e_column and add f_column.
on TABLE A. which method (SQL Loader or IMP/EXP) is good suggestion for export & import data before take above action.
boris

Export/Import is the most appropiate solution for the task that you want to carry out because SQL*Loader is designed to load data into the database from flat files.
Regarding how to drop the two columns , you can do it
directly if you are working in 9i setting both columns as
unused after drop unused columns in the table.

Export data ready for sql loader

Hi,
I need to export some data from my database ready to be used by sql loader ... what are tools can I use? Using sqlplus (i.e. spool file.csv select c1||";"||c2||";" from table; spool off) is the only tool I can use?

Hello,
You have multiple choices depending upon your oracle version on both source and target.
*1. Conventional export/import (no need to generate csv)*
*2. Datapump (10g)*
*3. Extracting .csv file using sql and loading using sqlldr*
*4. External table unloading data using datapump.*
*5. External table using .csv file generated via sql script.*

How to export&import data using sql *loader

Hi all,
How to export&import data from sql*loader. Give me the clear steps..
Thanks in Advance

Hi did you already exported data from SQL SERVER? if not using SQL*LOADER you cannot export data. SQL*LOADER is only mean for importing data from flat files(usually text files) into ORACLE tables.
for importing data into oracle tables using sql*loader use below steps
1) create a sql*loader control file.
it looks like as follows
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'sample.dat'
BADFILE 'sample.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'sample.dsc'
APPEND
INTO TABLE emp
TRAILING NULLCOLS
or for sample script of control file search google.
2) at command prompt issue following
$ sqlldr test/test
enter control file=<give control file name which you create earlier>
debug any errors (if occured)

SQL LOADER Import

Hello
So I have a export from a MYSQLl database a .sql file that I would like to import into oracle. Can I do that without creating a control file? Would I have to creat a control file for every table that is in the database?
Brian Sims

Hi Brian,
when you don't have a control file the defaults will be used and the defaults commonly don't work in general. As you can imagine every table has its own data types which commonly requires a dedicated control file for every table.
There's a dedicated SQL*Loader forum and they might be able to assist you to automate the process
Export/Import/SQL Loader & External Tables

Automatic syndication & Relationships export

Hello All;
Client requirement is like this:
We have two repositories :1.Staging 2. Production
1. Client wants autonmatic syndication as well as workflow trigger from Production so as to send data to other target systems.
2. Client also wants relationships to be Syndicated /Synchronised from Staging to Production ( we are relating similar records from different source system) (we are assigning Unique ID to related records)
for requirement 1, we can simply syndicate records from staging to production and do automatic syndication /WFL trigger from Production but as far as my knowledge goes we can not syndicate Relationships in MDM 5.5 ( this feature will be available in MDM 7.1 ,right ?) and we can also not import sibling relationships in MDM 5.5 ( as all our relationships are Siblings).
For requirement 2: if we use Maste/slave concept ,we can get relationships synchronised from master repository to slave repository but from slave repository we can not trigger workflow or we can not do automatic syndication.
Can any one give me pointers as to how to go about resolving this issue??!!
Thanks

SQL Loader Inserts chr(13) and chr(10) in the first column of every row.

Hi,
I have exported a data in a pipe delimited file using TOAD in one database. Now I want to load the data in my local database using SQL Loader. However every time I try to load the data a double quote followed by a new line is entered for the first column of each row. Unfortunately the delimited file is very big and hence can't be posted here. However I tried the same with a customized table and its data and found the same problem. Below are the table structures and control file that I used.
create table test_sql
a varchar2(30),
b date
insert into test_sql values('51146263',sysdate-3);
insert into test_sql values('51146261,sysdate-1);
EXPORTED PIPE DELIMITED FILE_
A|B|!##!
51146261|04/14/13 4:55:18 PM|!##!
51146263|04/12/13 4:55:32 PM|!##!
create table test_sql1 as select * from test_sql where 1=2;
CONTROL FILE_
OPTIONS(SKIP=1)
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'C:\Users\Prithwish\Desktop\Test.txt' "str '!##!'"
PRESERVE BLANKS
INTO TABLE TEST_SQL1
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|' OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
A CHAR(2000),
B DATE "MM/DD/YYYY HH12:MI:SS AM"
select * from TEST_SQL1;
After this when I paste it in notepad I get the following result
A B
51146261" 14-APR-0013 16:55:18
51146263" 12-APR-0013 16:55:32.
I have no idea how the quotes or the newline appear. Is this a Toad bug? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Really urgent.
Thanks in advance
Regards

Hi Harry,
I actually thought that the str !##! was causing the problem. Actually my original export has some new lines in some specific columns so I can't keep the new line as my line terminator and hence I kept the !##! as my terminator.
When I put the same data in a notepad and load it there is no problem at all. For e.g I just typed the following in a notepad and the data loaded just fine.
A|B|!##!
51146261|01-01-01 10:10:10 AM|!##!
51146263|01-01-01 11:11:11 AM|!##!
Its just when I load the exported file there the problem arises though I have verified the file using UNIX as well using octal dump and found no hidden characters.

Prithwish

ORA-12899 error from function invoked from SQL*Loader

How to have more than one condition on same column --- using SQL Loader

Hi All,
I am stuck with SQL Loader..
How do I filter records before loading in the table using when clause..
i should load data only when
field1 = 'AC' or 'VC'
field2 is NULL
i used various combinations in when clause like
a) when field1='AC' or field1='VC' and field2 = BLANKS
b) when (field1='AC') and (field2 = BLANKS )
& similar...
In all the cases I tried I could not implement OR condition with field1 and null condition with field2
but my main concern is can we use OR or IS NULL things in when clause of SQL Loader..
is it possible to check this anywhere??
any alternate solution u could suggest??
Thanks
Dikshit

Ok I'll try that, although I did try it earlier when I had iTunes 5.xx loaded, I think.
As to size of playlists, I have a master (900 songs) that defines what will fit onto the ipod , I then generate all the others as subsets of the master (not of the library)- hence I know they will all fit
Can you also clarify something for me: the dialogue box we are discussing is intended, I think, so that one can set the automatic synching of certain playlists between the PC & the ipod. Is that the only way one can select other playlists to go to the ipod - i.e. as static once-offs, not synchronised ?
Apple' docs, I think, are poor in this regard - they assume most ipods are bigger then the users song library and they gloss over the details of this alternate mode of playlist synching.
Thanks - Nick

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,
Harry
