hi gems...

Probably you can use WHEN clause while loading the data. Please check the below documentation for more information.

Function for column validation in SQl Loader control file.

Hello Gurus,
We have an requirement to create a function to validate all date and number columns in control file, and return 0/1 accordingly to valid_column which is last column . I have developed the function which accepts the number and date type columns as parameter and return Y/N. My question is, is there any way so that the function could be created without passing any parameter to it?
If yes, then how to call the function in control file?
I have been searching since a while on Google to find out any solution but could find out.
Using Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition Release 11.2.0.1.0

Can't create valid PL/SQL stored procedure

I have two questions about PL/SQL and JDBC:
Question 1: I'm trying to create and execute a PL/SQL stored procedure, and I can't seem to get the syntax right. I'm trying to create the simplest stored proc I can. Here's the stored procedure:
create or replace procedure test( inParam char(20) ) is
begin
select inParam from dual;
end;
When I try to execute it, I'm getting the error:
PLS-00905: object TEST is invalid
The creation of the proc, and the execution are being done using the same login.
Question2: Once I get the stored procedure created, I want to call it from a JDBC application. Is this the correct syntax:
CallableStatement stmt = connection.prepareCall("begin test('abc'); end;");
or can I use the standard JDBC escape sequence:
CallableStatement stmt = connection.prepareCall("{ call test('abc'); }");
Thanks for your help,
Jeff

Forgot to mention, I'm using TimesTen 11.2.1.4.

SQL Loader problem while loading records from txt file to database table.

I am getting following error while loading records from flat txt file into database table with the help of 'sqlldr' command. I have executed catldr.sql from RDBMS folder but it is still showing same error. I am setting DIRECT = TRUE while issuing sqlldr command. If I try with DIRECT = FALSE then it works fine. Database is Oracle 8i.
SQL*Loader-951: Error calling once/load initialization
ORA-24329: invalid character set identifier
F1 Please.

Hello,
Direct path load, can only be used with SQL*Loader and Database have the same version.
Care to tell the database version and sql*loader version you are using.

SQL*Loader and ORA-00054

I was wondering if anyone knows a way to prevent ORA-00054 errors on tables when using SQL*Loader. I'm currently invoking scripts that extract data from a source system and load into a table in my database. I'm concurrently invoking the script because I have multiple source systems to improve my overall time for the loads. Sometimes, I get failures on the loads due to ORA-00054 errors. Can this be prevented? Is these a WAIT command/option that can be turned on for SQL*Loader?

desc toto
Name Null? Type
COL1 DATE
Controlfile :
load data
infile 'titi.dat'
truncate
into table titi
(col1 position(1:7) DATE "YYYYMMDD" "DECODE (:col1, '9999999','19990101','000000
0',null,:col1 + 19000000)")
Indeed, the input format date is SYYMMDD where S=0 if year=19xx and S=1 if Year=20xx.
Thanks for your reply.

SQL Loader or Materialized view

Can we achive the following SQL Loader ?
If yes can someone point me out some ling
Requirement:
We need to create a Reporting DB to use for Reporting and a Transactional DB will be in separate Host. Basically we need to pull data from a set of tables from Transactional DB and move to Reporting DB schema at proper intervals.
We might have to get data from different column from different tables and store it in a single table/multiple tables in Reporting DB
If as part of housekeeping of the Source database we delete some records (older records), In that case we have to ensure that this delete does not happen in reporting DB

Materialized view will be the best option for this. You can schedule jobs for refreshing the Materialized view at some interval. If you use sqlloader you need to do some coding.

HELP: SQL*LOADER AND Ref Column

Hallo,
I have already posted and I really need help and don't come further with this
I have the following problem. I have 2 tables which I created the following way:
CREATE TYPE gemark_schluessel_t AS OBJECT(
gemark_id NUMBER(8),
gemark_schl NUMBER(4),
gemark_name VARCHAR2(45)
CREATE TABLE gemark_schluessel_tab OF gemark_schluessel_t(
constraint pk_gemark PRIMARY KEY(gemark_id)
CREATE TYPE flurstueck_t AS OBJECT(
flst_id NUMBER(8),
flst_nr_zaehler NUMBER(4),
flst_nr_nenner NUMBER(4),
zusatz VARCHAR2(2),
flur_nr NUMBER(2),
gemark_schluessel REF gemark_schluessel_t,
flaeche SDO_GEOMETRY
CREATE TABLE flurstuecke_tab OF flurstueck_t(
constraint pk_flst PRIMARY KEY(flst_id),
constraint uq_flst UNIQUE(flst_nr_zaehler,flst_nr_nenner,zusatz,flur_nr),
flst_nr_zaehler NOT NULL,
flur_nr NOT NULL,
gemark_schluessel REFERENCES gemark_schluessel_tab
Now I have data in the gemark_schluessel_tab which looks like this (a sample):
1 101 Borna
2 102 Draisdorf
Now I wanna load data in my flurstuecke_tab with SQL*Loader and there I have problems with my ref column gemark_schluessel.
One data record looks like this in my file (it is without geometry)
1|97|7||1|1|
If I wanna load my data record, it does not work. The reference (the system generated OID) should be taken from gemark_schluessel_tab.
LOAD DATA
INFILE *
TRUNCATE
CONTINUEIF NEXT(1:1) = '#'
INTO TABLE FLURSTUECKE_TAB
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '|'
TRAILING NULLCOLS (
flst_id,
flst_nr_zaehler,
flst_nr_nenner,
zusatz,
flur_nr,
gemark_schluessel REF(CONSTANT 'GEMARK_SCHLUESSEL_TAB',GEMARK_ID),
gemark_id FILLER
BEGINDATA
1|97|7||1|1|
Is there a error I made?
Thanks in advance

SQL Loader versus External Table

If anyone has worked on external tables please let me know your views.

user637544 wrote:
for sqlldr i follow the following approach
1. truncate table
2. call sqlldr and load records in staging table
3. check for bad records
how do i tuncate, call external table and check bad records for external table.As part of the SQL*Loader control file you can tell it to truncate the table as part of the process before it loads in the data.
The key differences between SQL*Loader and External Tables are:
1. SQL*Loader is an external utility run from the o/s command line, whereas External tables are usable from within SQL and PL/SQL.
2. SQL*Loader can only load data up into the database, whereas External tables can allow you to read files and write files (10g onwards)
3. SQL*Loader has limited control on skipping rows etc. whereas External tables can be queried using SQL and has all the flexibility that SQL can offer.
4. SQL*Loader requires connection information to the database, whereas External tables are already part of the database
5. SQL*Loader can only change the source filename through dynamic o/s level scripts, whereas External tables can have the filename changed using an ALTER TABLE ... LOCATION ... command.
If you want to truncate your staging table before loading it with data from the external table, then you will just have to do that as a seperate step, because the external table is not associated with other tables. Simply truncate the other table and then query the data from the external table into the staging table.
External tables offer a lot more flexibility than using SQL*Loader.

SQL Loader - Also posted in Database-General forum

Hi All,
I am using Oracle 9i and am new to it. I created a new user and I am not very sure if I assigned all the priveleges and roles correctly.
Problem is that I cannot log into SQL Plus and neither can I use SQL Loader. Am working in Windows XP environment. I can connect to SQLPLUS and SQL LOADER with the usual scott/tiger userid/passwd. Why cant I connect with the username/password that I created?
I can use the Enterprise Manager Console provided by Oracle with scott/tiger as well as with the new username/password that I created. But why cant I connect to SQL Loader and SQL Plus?
Regards,
Mahesh.

The error says:
ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied
Which seems to indicate that you are not using correct
password that you assigned when CREATE USER command was
executed.
Possibly, when you connect using enterprise manager, you
might be connecting as SYSDBA which allows you to login
since your NT userid might be part of the DBA group.
try conncting to the database using the AS SYSDBA syntax
when using SQL*Plus:
click on START -> RUN
and type "SQLPLUS.EXE /nolog" (without double-quotes) and click ok.
At the SQL prompt, type connect <username> AS SYSDBA
and see if you can connect.
If you can, this means that when you created this new
user you gave it SYSDBA privs. and at that point,
password (or the username for that matter) is ignored.
See the following session. here I do NOT have any user created by the name "XYZ" still when I connect AS SYSDBA,
it allows me to connect:
=======================================================
SQL> connect xyz as sysdba
Enter password:
Connected.

SQL Loader Control File configuration

Hi,
I'm writing loader scripts for a Consulting team to use to load standard format files for customers. I want to be able to support different field separators without having to create copies of the control files for each separator variant.
e.g.
LOAD DATA
INFILE "%IMPPATH%\BaseProd.txt"
BADFILE "%IMPPATH%\BaseProd.bad"
DISCARDFILE "%IMPPATH%\\BaseProd.dsc"
INSERT INTO TABLE
          IMPORT_PRODUCT
     FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
     OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
     TRAILING NULLCOLS
(      PROD_CD      "UPPER(:PROD_CD)",
     PROD_DESCRP,
     SELL_PRICE)
I'd like to be able to specify a %variable% for the FILEDS TERMINATED BY value. (The %IMPPATH% works a treat for the location of the file.)
Anyone know how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance.

I have tried
SET MYSEPARATOR=,
and
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '%MYSEPARATOR%'
I then get the message in the LOG file
Column Name Position Len Term Encl Datatype
PROD_CD FIRST * O(") CHARACTER
Terminator string : '%MYSEPARATOR%'
It appears to be looking for the complete string %MYSEPARATOR% as the separator!
I have also tried
SET MYSEPARATOR=','
and
FIELDS TERMINATED BY %MYSEPARATOR%
which gives the error
SQL*Loader-350: Syntax error at line 9.
Illegal combination of non-alphanumeric characters
FIELDS TERMINATED BY %MYSEPARATOR%

Using SQL Loader in more than one table

Hi all,
I have a new question for those who have used SQL Loader. I
have never used it and I just know that I need a control file to
tell SQL Loader what is my flat file layout and what table the
information goes to. My problem is: my flat file has information
that goes to two tables in my schema. Those files are very big
(aprox 280Mb) and I would like to read them just once. Can I do
this with SQL Loader?
Other question, is that the fastest way to import data from
flat files becouse I am using PERL and it takes aprox. 9 hours
to import 10 of those files. I could use UTL_FILE to read it but
I heard that SQL Loader was better.
Thanks for your cooperation

SQL*Loader is the fastest way to load, particularly in direct parallel mode, and can certainly load to multiple tables.
>
My advice would be to have a look at the examples given in the Oracle Utilities guide, there is one for loading to multiple
tables, which I have pasted below.
>
-- Loads EMP records from first 23 characters
-- Creates and loads PROJ records for each PROJNO listed
-- for each employee
LOAD DATA
INFILE ’ulcase5.dat’
BADFILE ’ulcase5.bad’
DISCARDFILE ’ulcase5.dsc’
REPLACE
INTO TABLE emp
(empno POSITION(1:4) INTEGER EXTERNAL,
ename POSITION(6:15) CHAR,
deptno POSITION(17:18) CHAR,
mgr POSITION(20:23) INTEGER EXTERNAL)
INTO TABLE proj
-- PROJ has two columns, both not null: EMPNO and PROJNO
WHEN projno != ’ ’
(empno POSITION(1:4) INTEGER EXTERNAL,
projno POSITION(25:27) INTEGER EXTERNAL) -- 1st proj
INTO TABLE proj
WHEN projno != ’ ’
(empno POSITION(1:4) INTEGER EXTERNAL,
projno POSITION(29:31 INTEGER EXTERNAL) -- 2nd proj
INTO TABLE proj
WHEN projno != ’ ’
(empno POSITION(1:4) INTEGER EXTERNAL,
projno POSITION(33:35) INTEGER EXTERNAL) -- 3rd proj
see the documentation for a complete explanation of the configuration.
Thanks, I will read it.
