Help on SQL Loader Sequence

Hi all,
I am kind of wondering whether we can give same sequence number to the whole data file.
Explanation:
I need to load a data file into the table, i know how to use the sequence in Sql loader control file. But the problem is i need the same sequence number for every record that is inserted into the table from the Datafile,
Say the datafile has 500 record
and i need all the 500 records to have the same sequence number.
when i load another datafile i need to have a different sequence number for all the records that are inserted into the table.
Thanks in advance.

Then you will have to look for a solution elsewhere - either the file will need to come preseeded with the value, or you will need to perform post-processing on the loaded data to add the constant value, or something else.

SQL*LOADER에서 SEQUENCE 함수와 DECODE 함수 사용하는 방법

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 2003-08-22
SQL*LOADER에서 SEQUENCE 함수와 DECODE 함수 사용하는 방법
========================================================
PURPOSE
Unique한 DATA을 load하고자 할때 쓰이는 SEQUENCE () 함수와 DECODE 함수의
사용에 대해 알아보고자 한다.
Explanation
table의 data에 unique한 값을 넣기 위해 sequence을 만들어 사용한다. 이것은
블루틴 #10863 을 참고하면 알수 있다. 이때 loader에서 database의 sequence기능이
아닌 sequence() 함수를 사용하는 것을 테스트해 보고자 한다.
또한 decode 함수를 사용하는 내용을 여기서 다루고자 한다.
함수를 사용하는 경우는 conventional path load인 경우에만 가능하며 direct path load
인 경우는 적용되지 않음을 주의하자.
함수를 사용할때 참조하고자 하는 컬럼앞에 콜론(:)을 붙이면 된다.
SEQUENCE 를 사용하면 각각의 레코드를 로드할때 특정 컬럼을 증가할수 있다.
단 무시되거나 잘못되어 들어가지 않은 레코드에 대해서는 증가을 하지 않기
때문에 주의하여야 한다.
SEQUENCE 함수의 옵션에 대해 알아보자.
SEQUENCE(n,increment) - 지정한 n 값부터 시작하여 increment 값만큼 증가한다.
SEQUENCE(COUNT,increment) - table에 이미 존재하는 로우들을 count한 수에서
시작하여 increment 값만큼 증가한다.
SEQUENCE(MAX, increment - 해당 컬럼의 maximum 값에서 시작하여 increment
값만큼 증가한다.
Examples
< Sequence 함수 사용 예 >
1. sample table 생성
create table t1
(field1 number, field2 number, field3 varchar2(10));
2. controlfile생성
<sequence1.ctl>
load data
infile 'data1.dat'
into table t1
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"'
(field1 SEQUENCE(MAX,1),
field2,
field3 )
3. load할 datafile생성
<data1.dat>
1234, "ABC"
3456, "CDF"
4. 실행해 본다.
$ sqlldr scott/tiger sequence1.ctl
SQL> select * from t1;
FIELD1 FIELD2 FIELD3
1 1234 ABC
2 3456 CDF
< Decode 함수 사용 예 >
test1 column이 'hello'이면 'goodbye'을 아니면 test1 column값을 로드하고자 한다.
1. sample table 생성
create table testldr
(test1 varchar2(10), test2 varchar2(10));
2. controlfile생성
<decode1.ctl >
Load data
infile 'data2.dat'
into table testldr
fields terminated by ',' optionally enclosed by '"'
(test1,
test2 "decode(:test1, 'hello', 'goodbye', :test1)")
3. load할 datafile생성
<data2.dat>
hello,""
goodbye,""
hey,""
hello,""
4. 실행해 본다.
$ sqlldr scott/tiger decode1.ctl
SQL> select * from testldr;
SQL> select * from testldr;
TEST1 TEST2
hello goodbye
goodbye goodbye
hey hey
hello goodbye

Help with SQL LOADER

I have a data file that looks like:
REC001;TO_NAME;TO_ADDR;TO_PHONE

Help with sql loader charsets

I was wondering if anyone could assist me with a sql loader question. I am trying to use it to load some hungarian data. It always turns the Ő character into an upside down question mark. I understand that it is because the database doesn't understand what that character is. Can someone help me find out how to resolve that? The database is UTF-8. If I paste the character in to the application, it takes it. I have tried all kinds of values for the CHARSET parameter in the .ctl file, but nothing seems to work....

I believe we are using iso 8859-1.
I am having a difficult time thinking that it could be we don't have the appropriate installations - because if we paste it in via the oracle application we can see it in a form. If we sql load that same character and look at it in an oracle form, we see the question marks.
i've looked at many of the documents on tahiti already, and found some helpful stuff, but no explanation for the problem i am having so far :)

SQL loader sequence

I am using SQL LOader and has used SEQUENCE Function to a column of the table in the control file
That will create a new sequence number for each record.What I need is just one sequence number for each file. say 200 records. Records of particular file need to have same sequence number
The next file will have another number...so on and so forth.
Pls suggest if you have any idea on the same
Thanks

You've posted enough to know you need to provide your 4 digit Oracle version (result of SELECT * FROM V$VERSION).

In 11g you could add a compound trigger on the table. Get the sequence value in the BEFORE statement section of the trigger and then use that value in the BEFORE ROW section of the trigger.

Help on SQL Loader When Clause

I have 2 Oracle tables of exact same structure.
ENO NUMBER
PARENT NUMBER
CHILD NUMBER
ENAME VARCHAR2 (50 Byte)
ADDRESS VARCHAR2 (50 Byte)
CITY VARCHAR2 (50 Byte)
SRCFILENAME VARCHAR2 (50 Byte)
SDATE VARCHAR2 (400 Byte)
Current_Load VARCHAR2 (1 Byte)
Have a data file and a loader control file which loads data in these 2 tables.
I need to do a conditional load using a when clause.
Condition : when PARENT=CHILD, load in table 2 else load in table 1
My control file looks like this .
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'TEST_20120815.txt'
APPEND INTO TABLE test1
fields terminated by "|"
trailing nullcols
eno,
parent,
child,
ename,
address,
city ,
sdate "to_date(:sdate,'DD/MM/YYYY')",
SrcFileName,
col7 filler,
"Current_Load" constant 'Y'
INTO TABLE test2 when (parent=child)
fields terminated by "|"
trailing nullcols
eno position(1),
parent,
child,
ename,
address,
city ,
sdate "to_date(:sdate,'DD/MM/YYYY')",
SrcFileName,
col7 filler,
"Current_Load" constant 'Y'
) But this doesn't work. It works fine if I give direct value like PARENT='P'.
Any idea as how to compare the 2 fields while doing conditional load?

You cannot compare 2 fields with the WHEN clause in an SQL*Loader control file.
only literal values as defined by the syntax:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14215/ldr_control_file.htm#i1005657
As already suggested, you would be better to load your data using an external table where you can apply any conditions you want during your SQL query that is fetching the data.

Need help regarding sql loader

Hi ,
I am executing following command
sqlldr admin_user@ces CONTROL=D:\sample_control.ctl log=D:\sample_log.log bad=D:\Sample_bad.bad
In case of valid data it is inserting the data properly into the table. While invalid records added into the bad file.
Now I want rollback valid data whenever count of bad file greater than equal to 10.
In short whenever file has more than 10 invalid records , I don't want to insert any record from that file.
Please provide me the solution.Thanks in advance.
