Hi Guru's
please help me in writing an unix script which will call sql loader and also an oracle procedure..
i wrote an script which is as follows.
!/bin/sh
clear
#export ORACLE_SID='HOBS2'
sqlldr USERID=load/ps94mfo16 CONTROL=test_nica.ctl LOG=test_nica.log
retcode=`echo $?`
case "$retcode" in
0) echo "SQL*Loader execution successful" ;;
1) echo "SQL*Loader execution exited with EX_FAIL, see logfile" ;;
2) echo "SQL*Loader execution exited with EX_WARN, see logfile" ;;
3) echo "SQL*Loader execution encountered a fatal error" ;;
*) echo "unknown return code";;
esac

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

Calling Sql*Loader from oracle Form builder

How do i call sql* loader from my forms to import the external data in different formats into my existing database?
Specify the flexibility of sql* loader to import external data from .txt files or .xls files.
Would be thankful if certain examples are given along with the answer.

Hi,
1. First you have to create seperate ctl (Control files) which maps to different file formats
2. Using Oracle Forms,
2a) You can use the 'HOST' command to execute the command line ie. In this case executing
SQL*Loader script
2b) You also have the feature in ORACLE forms to read text files and load the data into
ORACLE db.
This can be achieved by using TEXT_IO package which comes with ORACLE Forms.
Hope this helps

Issues in calling Sql Loader through forms developer (10g)

Hi,
I am developing a form(in 10g) ,in which I am calling sql loader for loading data onto a oracle database table from external source (e.g. data file is a .CSV file).
But , somehow the sql loader is not getting executed.
Here , I am giving the environment settings , approach i am taking;
This is a distributed system , both the application server,and database server are mounted on two different servers.
The form is delpoyed on the application server.
The database table , and the sql loader are configured on the databse side.
I am using host(<sql loader command>) command to invoke the Operating System command through forms.
The sql loader is working ok , and the data is getting loaded successfully onto the required database table when I am executing the sql loader command on Unix prompt , but through the forms , it's not working.
Do I need to change some environmental setting to make this work...
Any quick help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Craig,
I have already tried out the option of calling sql loader through stored procedure,but this is not working ...
could you please share any examples to do so ...
code snippet i am using in forms:
declare
usid get_application_property(userid);
pwd get_application_property(password);
db get_application_property(host);
msqlldr varchar2(250);
begin
msqlldr:='/u01/oracle/formss/bin/sqlldr' username=<uid/pwd@db> control=<control file name> data=<data file name> log=<log file name>
hosts(msqlldr);
end;
Note that sqlldr command ,for that matter any unix shell command is not working through the hosts() command ...
could you please suggest any way out ...
Thanks.

SQL *Loader and External Table

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the difference between SQL* Loader and External table?
What are the conditions under we can use SQL * Loader and External Table.
Thanx

External tables are accessible from SQL, which generally simplifies life if the data files are physically located on the database server since you don't have to coordinate a call to an external SQL*Loader script with other PL/SQL processing. Under the covers, external tables are normally just invoking SQL*Loader.
SQL*Loader is more appropriate if the data files are on a different server or if it is easier to call an executable rather than calling PL/SQL (i.e. if you have a batch file that runs on a server other than the database server that wants to FTP a data file from a FTP server and then load the data into Oracle).

Calling SQL Loader in Java

I am writing a Java application running on SUN Solaris to perform data feed from a number of csv files to ORACLE. I am to use SQL Loader to perform the loading. What I need is to kick off the SQL Loader in my code. My question is how to kick off the SQL Loader in Java.
One of option I am thinking is using RunTime.Exec(). Is the following code workable?
runtime.exec( "sqlldr CONTROL=foo.ctl, LOG=bar.log, USERID=scott/tiger" );
Althernatively should I write a Oracle store procedure to call the SQL Loader and Java call the store procedure?
Any thoughts and directions are welcome!
Regards,

Hi,
Can't you achieve the same thing using this
Class.forName("Driver");
Connection ocon=DriverManager.getConnection("url");
Once you have ocon then you can execute any query.
If this is not what you want,can you explain what SQLLoader means here?

Calling SQL * LOADER in stored procedure

Hi Experts,
Can we call sql*loader in stored procedures? . If yes , please let me know the syntax.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

You can also use dbms_schedular to execute any shell or batch file - i guess ->
BEGIN
-- UNIX
DBMS_SCHEDULER.create_job(
    job_name             => 'unix_command_job',
    job_type             => 'EXECUTABLE',
    number_of_arguments => 1,
    job_action           => '/bin/ls',
    auto_drop            => FALSE,
    enabled              => FALSE);
DBMS_SCHEDULER.set_job_argument_value('unix_command_job',1,'/tmp');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.set_attribute('unix_command_job', 'credential_name', 'TIM_HALL_CREDENTIAL');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.set_attribute('unix_command_job', 'destination', 'marge.localdomain:65001');
DBMS_SCHEDULER.enable('unix_command_job');

Calling sql loader in sqlplus

Hi all, i am trying to load a file called text1.txt using sql loader. I am using sqlplus but i dont know how to call sql loader in sql plus.
can someone provide syntax assumming data file is text1.txt and control file is txt.clt
thanks

Why on earth? Though you forgot to include version info, assuming you are not using 9i or older, you can and should use the external table facility and you don't need this unstable and resource consuming procedure.
If you would have thought even one second about solving your own problem, you would have realized sqlloader is a separate O/S utility, which requires the host command, and username/password on the commandline.
That alone is a reason not to do it.

Using SQL*Loader and UTL_FILE to load and unload large files(i.e PDF,DOCs)

Problem : Load PDF or similiar files( stored at operating system) into an oracle table using SQl*Loader .
and than Unload the files back from oracle tables to prevoius format.
I 've used SQL*LOADER .... " sqlldr " command as :
" sqlldr scott/[email protected] control=c:\sqlldr\control.ctl log=c:\any.txt "
Control file is written as :
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'c:\sqlldr\r_sqlldr.txt'
REPLACE
INTO table r_sqlldr
Fields terminated by ','
id sequence (max,1) ,
fname char(20),
data LOBFILE(fname) terminated by EOF )
It loads files ( Pdf, Image and more...) that are mentioned in file r_sqlldr.txt into oracle table r_sqlldr
Text file ( used as source ) is written as :
c:\kalam.pdf,
c:\CTSlogo1.bmp
c:\any1.txt
after this load ....i used UTL_FILE to unload data and write procedure like ...
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE R_UTL AS
l_file UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
l_buffer RAW(32767);
l_amount BINARY_INTEGER ;
l_pos INTEGER := 1;
l_blob BLOB;
l_blob_len INTEGER;
BEGIN
SELECT data
INTO l_blob
FROM r_sqlldr
where id= 1;
l_blob_len := DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(l_blob);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('blob length : ' || l_blob_len);
IF (l_blob_len < 32767) THEN
l_amount :=l_blob_len;
ELSE
l_amount := 32767;
END IF;
DBMS_LOB.OPEN(l_blob, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READONLY);
l_file := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('DBDIR1','Kalam_out.pdf','w', 32767);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('File opened');
WHILE l_pos < l_blob_len LOOP
DBMS_LOB.READ (l_blob, l_amount, l_pos, l_buffer);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Blob read');
l_pos := l_pos + l_amount;
UTL_FILE.PUT_RAW(l_file, l_buffer, TRUE);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('writing to file');
UTL_FILE.FFLUSH(l_file);
UTL_FILE.NEW_LINE(l_file);
END LOOP;
UTL_FILE.FFLUSH(l_file);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(l_file);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('File closed');
DBMS_LOB.CLOSE(l_blob);
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
IF UTL_FILE.IS_OPEN(l_file) THEN
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(l_file);
END IF;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Its working at last');
END R_UTL;
This loads data from r_sqlldr table (BOLBS) to files on operating system ,,,
-> Same procedure with minor changes is used to unload other similar files like Images and text files.
In above example : Loading : 3 files 1) Kalam.pdf 2) CTSlogo1.bmp 3) any1.txt are loaded into oracle table r_sqlldr 's 3 rows respectively.
file names into fname column and corresponding data into data ( BLOB) column.
Unload : And than these files are loaded back into their previous format to operating system using UTL_FILE feature of oracle.
so PROBLEM IS : Actual capacity (size ) of these files is getting unloaded back but with quality decreased. And PDF file doesnt even view its data. means size is almot equal to source file but data are lost when i open it.....
and for images .... imgaes are getting loaded an unloaded but with colors changed ....
Also features ( like FFLUSH ) of Oracle 've been used but it never worked
ANY SUGGESTIONS OR aLTERNATE SOLUTION TO LOAD AND UNLOAD PDFs through Oracle ARE REQUESTED.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks Justin ...for a quick response ...
well ... i am loading data into BLOB only and using SQL*Loader ...
I've never used dbms_lob.loadFromFile to do the loads ...
i 've opend a file on network and than used dbms_lob.read and
UTL_FILE.PUT_RAW to read and write data into target file.
actually ...my process is working fine with text files but not with PDF and IMAGES ...
and your doubt of ..."Is the data the proper length after reading it in?" ..m not getting wat r you asking ...but ... i think regarding data length ..there is no problem... except ... source PDF length is 90.4 kb ..and Target is 90.8 kb..
thats it...
So Request u to add some more help ......or should i provide some more details ??

Calling SQL*Loader from Forms

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has called SQL*Loader from Forms?
What I am wanting to do is use Oracle Forms as the interface where you can specify a file that you can import into the database and it will use a set control file. Push the import button and SQL*Loader does the rest.
Is using Java code to call SQL*Loader from Forms a viable option, or is there an easier way to achieve the desired outcome.
Any ideas or guidance will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott.

Scott,
In forms, there's a HOST built-in command which is supposed to execute any o/s commands.
What you have to do is :
1. Bult up the string exacltly in the fashion which you will run in o/s
2. Call the HOST Built-in and pass in the string
Here's a example :
Declare
lOsCmd Varchar2(1000) := Null;
Begin
lOsCmd := 'sqlldr user-id=userid/passwd@connectStr '
|| ' control=c:\temp\abc.ctl log=c:\temp\abc.log '
|| ' bad = c:\temp\abc.log';
Host (lOsCmd, No_Screen);
End;

Calling SQL Loader from SQL Plus

Hi everyone,
I currently use both SQL Loader and SQL Plus to load data and to then carry out certain DML tasks and to reinstate indexes. That all works fine but of course I need to be present to start and to monitor the various scripts.
What I would really like to do is to be able to incorporate the calls to SQL-Loader into my SQL-Plus scripts and am wondering if this is possible.
At the moment I run some parts of the load in 'batch' (i.e. command line calls to SQL-Loader and to SQL-Plus) but this won't work for the whole load because the batch calls (from Windows) are not able to wait for particular processes to finish before they start the next. This works OK for the SQL-Loader scripts (because they can run in parallel) but will not work for the whole load because the load needs to be finished before the further processing starts.
Or maybe there is a way (Windows .BAT files?) to set up batch processes which are intelligent enough to wait for one action to finish before starting the next action.
Any thoughts or any links to HOWTOs on this would be a great help.
Regards and thanks,
Alan Searle

Hi Alan,
In SQL*Plus you have the HOST command.
I would go for the .bat solution using [START /WAIT|http://www.computerhope.com/starthlp.htm]

Expert Help needed with Sql Loader !

Hello Friends...I am using one .dat file that contains several values in a
particular column and I need to load those values in different tables with
sqlloader.....For example: in column 3 there are values 0001, 0004, 0007, 9999
..> values 0001 and 0004 need to be loaded into table1 and value 0007 is
loaded into table2 and value 9999 needs to be loaded into table3.
I can successfully use the when clause to load one value at a time but
cannot load a range or multiple values during the sqlloader load. I can
call and run separate .ctl files but less complexity and fewer files would
be better. Tried everything I know but no luck, can't do loads in same
.ctl file......Does the when clause have limitations whereby only one value
at a time can evaluated as True or False ?
I would like to do a Not or InBetween evaluations if possible on that
single coulmn and then do the loads in the specific tables.
Any help would be appreciated as I can see my hair turn grayer by the
minute..My thanks in advance..

You're asking sql*load to perform an unnatural act.
Load in you dat file as-is. Create a pl/sql procedure to do the rest.
Your batch script calls sql*load, then sql*plus to run the proc.
Must simpler. sql*load is not a procedural language.

SQL Loader and Insert Into Performance Difference

Hello All,
Im in a situation to measure performance difference between SQL Loader and Insert into. Say there 10000 records in a flat file and I want to load it into a staging table.
I know that if I use PL/SQL UTL_FILE to do this job performance will degrade(dont ask me why im going for UTL_FILE instead of SQL Loader). But I dont know how much. Can anybody tell me the performance difference in % (like 20% will decrease) in case of 10000 records.
Thanks,
Kannan.

Kannan B wrote:
Do not confuse the topic, as I told im not going to use External tables. This post is to speak the performance difference between SQL Loader and Simple Insert Statement.I don't think people are confusing the topic.
External tables are a superior means of reading a file as it doesn't require any command line calls or external control files to be set up. All that is needed is a single external table definition created in a similar way to creating any other table (just with the additional external table information obviously). It also eliminates the need to have a 'staging' table on the database to load the data into as the data can just be queried as needed directly from the file, and if the file changes, so does the data seen through the external table automatically without the need to re-run any SQL*Loader process again.
Who told you not to use External Tables? Do they know what they are talking about? Can they give a valid reason why external tables are not to be used?
IMO, if you're considering SQL*Loader, you should be considering External tables as a better alternative.
