Help needed on SQL*LOADER

Hi,
I am using oracle 8i for Windows release 8.1.7.
I have a data feed file 'XYZ.ctl' which contains numerous records.Each record is having various data. This data is subdivided into fields seprated by '~'.
Each field can be of variable length. Thus my data per line is represented as below:
1)A~BG~1223~023456~AW3456DF~001~desc1~002~desc2~~~~~~~~~~~~
2)A~MN~1423~073453~AW56DF~001~desc11~002~desc22~003~desc33~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here the point that is to be noted is each field ends with '~'.
Now I would like to push data from 'A' to 'AW3456DF' of 'record 1' to Table X and from there on i.e from '001' to 'desc2' to Table Y.
Similarly for record 2 I would like to push data from 'A' to 'AW56DF' to Table X and from there on i.e from '001' to 'desc33' to Table Y.
This has to be achieved through SQL*Loader. Can it be achieved? If not then is there another way? Actually much of the loading that is done in production is already present and working fine. We just need to implement
the above functionality.
Another point is that the numeric part i.e. '001' would go in column 'Col1'and the description part i.e 'desc1' would go in column 'Col2' of table Y.
Please let me know if anything could be done.
Thanking in advance.
Rajeev

UTL_FILE
With the UTL_FILE package, your PL/SQL programs can read and write operating system text files. UTL_FILE provides a restricted version of operating system stream file I/O.
UTL_FILE I/O capabilities are similar to standard operating system stream file I/O (OPEN, GET, PUT, CLOSE) capabilities, but with some limitations. For example, you call the FOPEN function to return a file handle, which you use in subsequent calls to GET_LINE or PUT to perform stream I/O to a file. When file I/O is done, you call FCLOSE to complete any output and free resources associated with the file.

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.

Help needed in SQL Loader

Hi,
Am using SQL Loader to insert rows in a table.
I have 5 cols in table A. But the data is not present in all cols always.
Have used TRAILING NULLCOLS but with no help.. few rows are inserted and for many others it throws "ORA-01841: (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0" error
(because the value is null in that particular column position)
How do I handle such cases.Please help asap.

not sure if this will work but you may want to give it a try:
change from:
(MAIL_DATE date 'yyyymmdd hh24:mi:ss'
to:
(MAIL_DATE date 'yyyymmdd'since the first data on your file does not have the timestamps

Help Needed regarding SQL Loader Error

Hi,
I am trying to insert some records into two tables using same control file.
I am using the follwing command to load data
sqlload "$ORAUSER" CONTROL="$LDRFILE" DATA="$DATA_PATH/$DATA_FILE" BAD="$BAD_FILE" LOG="$LOG_FILE" DISCARD="$DISCARD_FILE" ERRORS="$MAX_ERRS"
I am getting the error: SQL-LOADER - 350: Illegal combination of non-alphanumeric characters

Please suggest me what I need to do.
Thanks,
Srinivas.

it appears that you are using this line code in your korn shell script. if you try to do a manual run on the unix command line do you still get the same error?
also can you post a sample value for all the parameters you have.

Need help to run sql loader from Form6i

Hi All,
I have some problem with the sql loader running from form 6i.
I have done following steps for that.
1. have created bat file to run sql loader.
2.Alos created ctl and txt files inside the same folder.
In the form , in button press i have written below code
HOST('cmd /c C:\load1.bat > C:\output.txt');
But it is giving error as -
"Unable to open Load1.ctl."
but i have run that bat files from command prompt ; and it is running fine.
I guess probably it is not getting the correct path.
Will pls help me, wt exacly I'm doing wrong?
Rg,
Subir

Hi Francois,
Thanks for reply.
It is not a problem with the batch files. Coz, I just able to run batch files, but that is not correct solution.
Once the host command id firing, that time it is going to path -
"c:\orant\Form60\"
And in this path it searching for that batch files and all the require files; but the require files are present in some different folder. So i think I need to change the path as well, but that I'm unable to do.
To resolve the problem, I have copied all the files in "c:\orant\Form60\" folder, and then it is working.
So I think I need to changed the path, so how to change the path. If I able to change the path I think it will worked. How to change the path?
Best Rg,
Subir

Help Needed in SQL QPAC

Hi there,
I need some help regarding the SQL QPAC which is a built in QPAC in Adobe Livecycle Workflow. The SQL QPAC takes MYSQL as the default database. Suppose if we need to connect to the SQL Server or any other database, what is the procedure to do that.
Suraj

Hi Suraj
You need to deploy a second copy of the SQL QPAC, and point it at a different datasource. The datasource is defined as a deployment parameter (it will prompt you when you deploy the new version of the qpac).
You will also need to define the datasource in your application server. This is done in different ways for different application servers - for details, please see: standards_based_qpacs.pdf (part of the Workflow SDK), page 12, "Creating a JNDI datasource".
Alternately, you can try out our SQLPlus QPAC. This allows you to directly specify connection url, driver, username and password. The SQLPlus QPAC does a lot of other things that the regular SQL QPAC doesn't do, such as handling multiple rows, testing your query, and outputting the data in a variety of ways.

Help required in SQL Loader

Is it possible to load a single target file from multiple flat file sequentially using SQL Loader?
Example -
Table structure -
<Emp_id><Emp_Name><Dept_id><Total_sales><Commission>
<Emp_id><Emp_Name><Dept_id> column will be load from Emp_master flat file
<Total_sales> column will be load from sales flat file - there will be two fields emp_id and total_sales
<Commission> column will be load from commission flat file - there will be two fields emp_id and commission.
I have tried this to merge these three flat file and create a single flat file, but in my real requirement i found it is quite tedious.
Is there any other approach?
Thanks in Advance

You can load into 3 temporary tables and insert into main table using a query
OR
You can use shell script (I hope UNIX environment) to merge the files
There is no direct way to load the data for same row from multiple files using SQL * Loader

VCM installation help needed on SQL DB and Reporting server

Hi All,
I'm new to VCM and now i got stuck at the SQL DB and Report server portion.
I'm running the vcm server on VM and the SQL is a physical server, both are sitting on the same LAN.
I have create the SQL DB but VCM just fail to validate the DB and report server.
I login to VCM using a Domain account for installation, and i tried to testing the DB using ODBC from the window, result fail.
Error message as attach.
I'm now totally lost on SQL portion.
My Question:
Is there any configuration needed on SQL DB?
How to get the reporting server to working?
What port is needed to it all working??
VCM server Ms Win2012.
SQL version 2012.
Many thanks to all who reply.

Hi Simonhoo79,
For SSRS, first check whether the report server link is accessible from your browser : "http://s01-fes-vcm1:80/ReportServer" . If you continue to get 404 error there also, then you need to reconfigure you report server first before proceeding to vcm installation. Follow the steps on below link on how to reconfigure report server using report services configuration Manager for 404 error.
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/75910bcb-a879-4eb7-9757-acc45201fa3a/can-not-connect-to-reportserver-http-404-file-not-found?forum=sqlexpress
For SQL server ODBC connection,
Dont create ODBC connection for SQL Native Client. Create ODBC connection for SQL Server.
1. Open ODBC Data Source Administrator
2. Click User DSN tab and Click Add button.
3. Select SQL server and click finish
4. Give name and description and Give the SQL server name (with instance name if your using named instance) or IP in the Server text box.
5. Click Next and select either Windows authentication or sql authentication based on your SQL server authentication mode and click next.
6. If the details given are correct then it will proceed further and check "Change the dafault database to" to your VCM database
7. Click next and finish and try test data source.
VCM 5.7.2 and below will support installation only on windows server 2008 R2 and it doesn't support windows server 2012 but it support both 2008 and 2012 sql servers.

Help needed for SQL query

hello ,
I am a beginner in terms of writing sql queries. I hope some body can help me out.

| userAccountId | char(8) | | PRI | | |
| groupId | char(8) | | PRI | | |

| Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra |

| name | char(50) | YES | | NULL | |
| email | char(100) | YES | | NULL | |
| description | char(254) | YES | | NULL | |
| parentId | char(8) | YES | | NULL | |
| creatorId | char(8) | YES | | NULL | |

| updateDate | char(20) | YES | | NULL | |
| updatorId | char(8) | YES | | NULL | |
---------------------------------------------------+
9 rows in set (0.00 sec)
what I want is list of all groups with id,name and #of members(which is the # of rows in the user_group_t for any given id). Importantly I need the groups with 0 members also to be listed. In short my output should contain exactly the same number of rows as in group_t table with an additional column indicating # of members for that group.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
-Vasanth

Thanks Donald,
Actually I figured it out, with the following query:
select id,name,sum(if(groupid is not null,1,0)) as members from group_t left join user_group_t on id=groupid group by id;
I tried your solution, but mysql says there is an error at '+' . Anyway I modified your solution to the one below and it worked.
select a.id, a.name, count(b.groupid) from group_t a left join user_group_t b on a.id=b.groupid group by a.id, a.name;
I tried that before but then I used Count(*) instead of count on groupid. Your solution is elagant and I will go with yours.
Thanks again.

Hi,
After WHERE .......... is indicates an OUTER Join condition.
In this type of join, system retrieves the data for matched and
as well as unmatched.
Example:
EMP table have a column DEPTNO with the data 10, 20, 30 (total rows=14)
DEPT table have a column DEPTNO with the data 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 (total rows=5)
If the WHERE clause contained EMP.DEPTNO(+) = DEPT.DEPTNO
then the output contain the data relative to 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 (total rows = 16)
i.e. 14 rows (with matching data) and 2 rows (with unmatching data)
