Calling the function/procedure in the control file of the SQL*loader???

Hi,
Could you please let me know whether we can call procedure/function in the control file ? If possible, please share some examples.
Thanks in advance !!
Regards,
Vissu...

Please see below code, I think It will help you...
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'mail_orders.txt'
BADFILE 'bad_orders.txt'
APPEND
INTO TABLE mailing_list
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ","
( addr,
     city,
     state,
     zipcode,
     mailing_addr   EXPRESSION "Your_function(:mailing_addr)",
     mailing_city   EXPRESSION "UPPER(:mailing_city)",
     mailing_state,

Askings are :
1. Please check the control file text.
2. then Please say how do I run this control file. Please write the code to run in the sql prompt.
Please treat this at an urgent basis.
FARHAD

The cmd is: sqlldr aa/bb@cc control=c:\txt_to_DB_EDI.ctl, before that you need to make sure sqlldr is available.
you may run it on server command line, sure you in your user's profile set the $SQLLDRCMD to the sqlldr executable.

The data field format for the sql* loader

the data field in my data file was surrounded by ",", such as "1","2","3",...
so in my control file, I coded
fields terminated by ',' enclosed by '"'
no error after I execute sqlldr command.
however, on data has been inserted into table either.
if I remove "" and ,
the data field changed to 1 2 3 ...
and the data has been inserted into my table
However the first format is what I want. can anyone experienced silmilar situation? please give me a hint.
your help is highly appreciated

Control file for SQL*Loader

Hello,
I have the following file (2 line) which I want to intend in an oracle database with the SQL*Loader.
tommy050+3423
tom 070-0006
The file consists of two lines and three columns.
Column1 has always 5 digits and is a String. Additional empty digits will be filled with blanks. Here: tommy and tom
Column2 has three digits and is a number. Here: 050 and 070.
Column 3 is also a number and consists of four digits. Additionally there is a fifth digit for the leading sign ("+" or "-"). Here: +3423 and -0006.
This file I want to import in my table MyTab.
MyTab(
     thing          VARCHAR2(5)
     number     NUMBER(3)
     amount     NUMBER
How would the control file for the SQL*Loader look like for this example?
Regards
Homer

This is a start (untested)
    LOAD DATA
    INFILE 'sample.dat'
    BADFILE 'sample.bad'
    DISCARDFILE 'sample.dsc'
    APPEND
    INTO TABLE MyTab
      ( thing POSITION(1:5) CHAR ,
       NUMBER    POSITION(6:8) INTEGER,
       amount POSITION(9:12) INTEGER )Can you have a column named number?

12c Create Control File for Entire CDB (CDB-root + PDBs)

Hi,
In 12c, I understand that there is a single redo log and a single control file for an entire CDB. My question is what datafiles should I use to create control file for the entire CDB. According to Managing Control Files, I suppose I should use all the datafiles (the result of query from CDB-Root: select name from v$datafile), but in practice, the control file creation process can only be successful when I use CDB-Root databfiles. Thanks in advance for any advice.

The actual error message is duplicate tablespace (system, sysaux), but the root-CDB and PDBs should have separate system and sysaux. The following is the script I used.
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "CDB" RESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG

How to refer the SQL*Loader command line parameters in the control file

The problem I am trying to resolve is to insert the input file name when SQL*Loader is loading the record from the file. I have multiple files to load and it is nice to associate a record with a particular input file.

Create the control file dynamically (and fill one of the columns with the file name as a constant) before you start SQL*Loader
Another option is to use external tables

Concatenate positions in control file for sql*loader utility.

Is there a way to concatenate several character positions in a control file for sql*loader???
example... field1 position(1:3) || position(5:7) ????
I would rather not create any unnecessary temp tables for a straight load...

How about...
/code
field1 position(1:7) char "substr(:field1, 1, 3) || substr(:field1, 5)"

Want To Capture The File name Using the SQL Loader

Hi,
I Am loading The Data To Staging Table Using The SQL*developer, The File That need to be Loaded Will be One Of The Input To the SQL*Loader Concurrent Program.
In One Of The Column Of My staging Table I want To Put The File name.
Can We do the Same.
thanks,
Ankit

Not unless you generate the loader controlfile dynamically.. try this.. pass file name as $1 first parameter. Use the below example and modify as per your requirement
1) create table with following table structure
create table temp_table (x varchar2(20),file_name varchar2(30));
2) create data file - test.dat (contains only values for x)
abc
def
geh
ggg
fff
3) create a host file host file - test.sh with following content:
echo "load data
infile $1
append
into table temp_table
fields terminated by ','
(x,
file_name constant "$1")" > test.ctl
sqlldr <usr>/<pwd>control=test.ctl
4) run the host file from unix prompt with data file name as parameter (ensure test.sh has execute permissions)
test.sh test.dat
Hope this helps

Failed to load configuration file for the workflow

There are two of us who have full control on our Sharepoint 2013 site. I'm able to create workflows and publish them fine. The other user is able to create workflows, but he gets an error when trying to run them. I tried opening his workflow and got
the error "Failed to load configuration file for the workflow."
Any ideas?

Hi Carltonw1,
Based on your description, I recommend to verify the things below:
Clear the SharePoint Designer cache and then open the workflow.
Ask the user to open the workflow in SharePoint Designer and check if the workflow contains error.
Ask the user to create the same workflow and associated with another list to see how it works.
Check the ULS log for more detailed error message.
To reproduce this issue, could you please provide the detailed steps in the workflow for further research?
Thanks,
Victoria

Failed to load the configuration file for the workflow

Hi experts, yesterday I created and publish custom workflow using SPD from client pc using site administrator account but today its shows error message. I tried creating new test workflows, edit and publish to think it will push a fresh SPD settings
in working condition and it works pretty right.
But the thing I noticed after closing SPD Im not able to re-open workflows and it gives the same error message Failed to load the configuration file for the workflow. This issue only happen today since day one I used SPD and all the time
Im using the same pc.
Any ideas will be appreciated.
Cheers, R2C3 ----------------------------------- starting sharepoint :)

HI
Maybe you have permission problem or there is invalid xoml murkup.
To verify this from SharePoint Designer use the following steps.
In Office SharePoint Designer, in the folder list, select the plus sign next to Workflows library to expand it
1.Next select the plus sign of the workflow in question to expand it
2.Double-click the configuration file (Workflow_name.xoml.wfconfig.xml) to open it
3.Right-click on the page, and then select Verify well-formed XML
4.Correct any errors and save the file
5.Reopen the workflow to test
Also double check that you are using SPD with the same credentials you created workflow
Hope this will help.

Hibernate mapping XML files for the two SQL Server tables below.

Hello all..,
Question 1:
I am working on a project that needs to support a database with an inherited legacy schema that you cannot change. The schema is provided below.Hibernate mapping XML files for the two SQL Server tables below. Please provide those two XML files. Assume some hypothetical package and class names. Assume that no "fancy" stuff such as lazy initialization, optimistic locking etc is needed at this time.
CREATE TABLE [SURVEY_ANSWERS] (
[ANSWER_ID] [int] IDENTITY (1,1) NOT NULL,
[QUESTION_ID] [int] NOT NULL,
[POSITION] [int] NULL,
[TEXT] [varchar](350) NULL
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[SURVEY_QUESTIONS] (
      [QUESTION_ID] [int] IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL ,
      [TEXT] [varchar] (350) NULL
GO
ALTER TABLE SURVEY_ANSWERS
ADD CONSTRAINT pk_SURVEY_ANSWERS PRIMARY KEY(ANSWER_ID,QUESTION_ID);
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[SURVEY_QUESTIONS] ADD
       PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
            [QUESTION_ID]
GO
ALTER TABLE [dbo].[SURVEY_ANSWERS] ADD
       FOREIGN KEY
            [QUESTION_ID]
      ) REFERENCES [dbo].[SURVEY_QUESTIONS] (
            [QUESTION_ID]
      )Question 2:
Assume that you are working on a project developing, say, a banking application. You are the Architect and thinking that Hibernate ORM should be used for the entire access to the relational database. As usual, you have created (or auto-generated) a set of HBM XML files as well as POJOs for which you define the mappings. Assume now that a new requirement has just popped up. The system needs to be able to import new bank accounts and user information in bulk from a very large XML file at once and store it in the database. Assume the XML file contains all necessary information to populate fields in database tables. As performance is very important for this operation. Given this description, how would you approach the problem?
Please describe briefly.
-Thanks and regards

Possibility of capturing data file name in SQL * Loader

Hi,
I have a requirement to capture the data file name in the staging table, is there a way that i can capture it in SQL * Loader or any other way of doing it.
Need experts suggestion please.
Thanks,
Genoo

Hi Genoo.
how do we capture the file name and stores in the temporary table
You may use the above command mentioned in my previous post (if Linux) to populate the Test.csv file with the available file name in the directory, i.e:
ls /some/path/*.dat | xargs -n1 basename > /home/oracle/Test.csv
1. Ensure to first load the Test.csv file as for eg:
1,aaa
2,bbb
3,ccc
2. Create a control file to load these records into temporary tables,for eg:
load data
infile '/home/oracle/Test.csv'
into table file_name_upload
fields terminated by ","
( id, file_name )
3. Create the respective table in the database:
create table file_name_upload
id number,
file_name varchar2(20)
4. Load the data into temporary table
sqlldr test/test control=/home/oracle/sqlldr_test.ctl

*UPDATED 7/15/04* Complete guide to bioses, drivers, and needed files for the MSI K8N Neo Platinum

Complete newbie's guide to bioses, drivers, and needed files for the MSI K8N Neo Platinum:
Last Updated: Thursday July 15th, 2004
Bioses:
(In order of date released.)
1.1b3 - (Download)
- Pre-1.1, given to reviewers to use in their reviews and benchmarks.
- Less stable, but supposedly you get slightly better overclocks.
1.1 Official - (Download)
1. This is AWARD BIOS release
2. This BIOS fixes the following problems of the previous version:
- Memory always run DDR 200 when install single side DDR on DIMM2 & DIMM3.
- Windows 2000 can't format the RAID IDE HDD when plug in Promise 378 controller.
1.2b5 - (Download)
1.2b7 - (No Download Yet)
1.2b10 - (Download)
- First attempt to fix false temperature readings. Fixes it for some people with Newcastle cores and doesn't fix it for anybody with Clawhammer cores.
1.2b12 - (Download)
- Second attempt to fix false temperature readings. Fixes it for some people with Newcastle cores and some people with Clawhammer cores.
1.3b1 - (Download)
- Another attempt to fix temperature problems?
- Possibly fixes cold boot/power light issues?
1.2 Official - (Download)
1. This is AWARD BIOS release
2. This BIOS fixes the following problems of the previous version:
- System can't resume from S3 sometimes when install USB device.
- Support K8 Sempron CPU.
- Turn off keyboard LED in S3.
--Quick Guide for flashing BIOS, provided by MSI--
1. Create a MS-DOS boot diskette, then copy the the .exe and the bios file to the floppy disk. Both of these files can be found in the package you downloaded.
2. Press "Delete" and go to BIOS setup while computer bootup.
Check BIOS advanced features and see if BIOS flash write control is enabled
(This option must be enabled. If you can not find this setting, it means the BIOS can be
flashed.)
3. Boot from MS-DOS boot diskette and get a:\> prompt.
4. Type "", then press ENTER
5. The flash program will then ask "Do you want to save BIOS?", please press "N" for no. The when you see Press 'Y' to program or 'N' to Exit, please press "Y" to continue.
6. After flashing complete, remove floppy and reset the system .
7. Press DELETE or F1 when prompted at first reboot after flashing.
8. Load BIOS optimized defaults, then save settings and exits.
Drivers & Needed Files:
(Note: All these drivers are for Windows XP.)
Leaked Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 4.40
(Please use at your own risk, these are LEAKED drivers. Password for the .zip file is "ocworkbench rules". Also, you will need to rename the WinXP_2K folder in IDE to either WinXP or Win2K else the installer doesn't pick it up.) Thanks for the link Wonkanoby!
*NEW* Leaked Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 5.03
More leaked drivers? Seems some parts of the drivers are older and some are newer.
1. Windows XP Service Pack 1A (Web Install) -or- Windows XP Service Pack 1A (Full Install)
2. Microsoft DirectX 9.0b (Web Install) -or- Microsoft DirectX 9.0b (Full Install)
3. Nvidia nForce3 Chipset Drivers Version 4.24
4. AMD Athlon 64 Processor Driver Version 1.1.0.14
5. Nvidia Video Card Driver Version 56.72 -or- Omega Nvidia Video Card Driver Version v1.5303
(The Omega drivers are third party drivers optimized for gaming, most prefer these over the standard Nvidia drivers.)
5. ATI Video Card Driver Version 4.7 -or- Omega ATI Video Card Driver Version 2.5.51
(The Omega drivers are third party drivers optimized for gaming, most prefer these over the standard ATI drivers.)
6. Onboard Sound Driver (Realtek AC'97 Audio Codec) Version A3.61
It is HIGHLY reccomended that you install the drivers/needed files in the order listed above. Please note that there are two #5's because you either install one or the other depending on your video card, do not install both of them.
You will come across a problem here though. You can't install the chipset drivers without installing the Windows service pack and DirectX first, but the Windows service pack and DirectX installs need the internet to download files and you won't have working internet until you install the chipset drivers. Here's what I did to get around this. Instead of downloading the web install versions of Windows service pack and DirectX, download the full version and and put them along with all the other drivers on a backup hard drive or burn them to a CD, this way you will have all the drivers you need when it's time to install them and none of them will require the internet to download files.
Another note when installing drivers. Apparently the Nvidia chipset drivers also come with drivers for the onboard sound, but people seem to agree that the Realtek onboard sound drivers are better. When you are installing the Nvidia chipset drivers, just be sure to uncheck the box for sound drivers when it asks you which drivers you would like to install. Now you can safely install the Realtek drivers without any chance of conflicting sound drivers. Thanks for the tip Wonkanoby!

The installer still reccomends to install it beforehand for full USB 2.0 functionality... I would have put what you said in there but I wanted to keep it as simple as possible.
oh. IIRC the installer just says USB 2.0 will be fully functional after SP1 is installed. So after you install SP1 you go into device manager and u click update driver and it will auto search and update the driver.
Simplicity-wise, i guess its pretty much equal. It might take less preparation to just copy DX9 full onto a CD and install that first, then nforce driver, then right away you have yoru internet connection.
but i dunno.. i guess i will try it your way this time when my RMA"d board comes.
i will be fomratting and doing a fresh install later on today and will let you know if i come across any problems
