How to export&import data using sql *loader

Hi all,
How to export&import data from sql*loader. Give me the clear steps..
Thanks in Advance

Hi did you already exported data from SQL SERVER? if not using SQL*LOADER you cannot export data. SQL*LOADER is only mean for importing data from flat files(usually text files) into ORACLE tables.
for importing data into oracle tables using sql*loader use below steps
1) create a sql*loader control file.
it looks like as follows
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'sample.dat'
BADFILE 'sample.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'sample.dsc'
APPEND
INTO TABLE emp
TRAILING NULLCOLS
or for sample script of control file search google.
2) at command prompt issue following
$ sqlldr test/test
enter control file=<give control file name which you create earlier>
debug any errors (if occured)

Loading data with dates using SQL*Loader

Dear everyone
I am currently trying to load some data containing dates using SQL*Loader.
For termination of fields I have been using ^ because I have some book titles which contain " and ' as part of their title. I found that the TO_DATE function did not seem to work using ^ instead of ". Would I be correct? I think the Oracle manual says that " must be used.
After some Web research I eventually amended my control file to as follows:
load data
infile 'h:\insert_statements\22_insert_into_SCAN_FILE_INFO.txt'
REPLACE
into table SCAN_FILE_INFO
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '^'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(scan_id, scan_filename
file_format_id
orig_scanning_resolution_dpi
scanner_id, scanner_operator_id
scanning_date "TO_DATE (:scanning_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD')"
original_map_publication_id
reprint_publication_id)
A simple line of data is as follow:
280001, ^1910 - London^, 270001, 400, 250001, 260001, "TO_DATE('2007-06-06', 'YYYY-MM-DD')", 200019,
The final column being null.
However when I attempt that I get the following error message:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table SCAN_FILE_INFO, column SCANNING_DATE.
ORA-01841: (full) year must be between -4713 and +9999, and not be 0
If I change the scanning_date part to:
scanning_date "EXPRESSION TO_DATE (:scanning_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
or
scanning_date "CONSTANT TO_DATE (:scanning_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
I get the error message:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table SCAN_FILE_INFO, column SCANNING_DATE.
ORA-00917: missing comma
As soon as I do the following:
scanning_date "EXPRESSION, TO_DATE (:scanning_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
or
scanning_date "CONSTANT, TO_DATE (:scanning_date, 'YYYY-MM-DD')",
I get too many values error message:
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table SCAN_FILE_INFO.
ORA-00913: too many values
I also tested out scanning_date DATE "YYYY-MM-DD", but that just gave the same ORA-01841 error message as above.
I must be doing something very simple which is wrong but I cannot figure it out.
Kind regards
Tim

And why do you have scanning date as "TO_DATE('2007-06-06', 'YYYY-MM-DD')" in your infile? All you need is 2007-06-06. If you can not change infile generation code, use:
load data
infile 'h:\insert_statements\22_insert_into_SCAN_FILE_INFO.txt'
REPLACE
into table SCAN_FILE_INFO
fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '^'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(scan_id, scan_filename
file_format_id
orig_scanning_resolution_dpi
scanner_id, scanner_operator_id
scanning_date "TO_DATE(REPLACE(REPLACE(:scanning_date,'TO_DATE('),'''YYYY-MM-DD'')'), 'YYYY-MM-DD')"
original_map_publication_id
reprint_publication_id)SY.

Error in loading data using SQL loader

I am getting a error like ‘SQL*Loader -350 syntax error of illegal combination of non-alphanumeric characters’ while loading a file using SQL loader in RHEL. The command used to run SQL*Loader is:
Sqlldr userid=<username>/<password> control =data.ctl
The control file, data.ctl is :
LOAD data
infile '/home/oraprod/data.txt'
append into table test
empid terminated by ',',
fname terminated by ',',
lname terminated by ',',
salary terminated by whitespace
The data.txt file is:
1,Kaushal,halani,5000
2,Chetan,halani,1000
I hope, my question is clear.
Please revert with the reply to my query.

Replace ''{" by "(" in your control file
LOAD data

ORA-01841 Error when value for date col is NULL in .dat (using SQL Loader)

Hello Gurus,
I have some data in .dat file which needs to be loaded into oracle table. I am using SQL * Loader to do the job. Although "NULLIF col_name =BLANKS" works for character datatype, but when value for date col is NULL then I get ORA-01841 error. I have to make NULL for all rows withour value for date column
Early reply will be highly appreciated
Farooq

Hi,
May be this problem is not with the NULLIF. The value for the date column is not in proper date format.
create table:
create table kk (empno number, ename varchar2(20), deptno number, hiredate date)
Control file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'd:\kk\empdata.dat'
insert into TABLE kk ( empno position (1:2) integer external,
ename position(4:5) char NULLIF ename=BLANKS,
deptno position (7:8) integer external NULLIF deptno=BLANKS,
hiredate position (10:20) date NULLIF hiredate=BLANKS)
data file:
10 KK 01-jan-2005
20 10
SELECT * FROM KK;
EMPNO ENAME DEPTNO HIREDATE
10 KK 01-JAN-05
20 10
Verify the data file.
Hope it will help

Loading leap year date using SQL*Loader

Hello,
I have a problem loading a date '29/02/2000' using SQL*Loader. This date is on a leap year. I'm getting an error message from SQL*Loader as 'ORA-01839: date not valid for month specified'. My colleague and I have tried using various date functions to convert the data into date, but no luck.
I would appreciate any helps,
Bruce

Thanks for your help, I found the bug on my control file. I was using the RTRIM function to remove bad timestamp such as '29/02/2000 0:00:00'. So instead of using this statement:
LOG_DATE DATE "DD/MM/RRRR" "RTRIM(:LOG_DATE,'0:00:00')"
I was using the statement below with a space before the '0:00:00' string literal, with the intention to remove a space also:
LOG_DATE DATE "DD/MM/RRRR" "RTRIM(:LOG_DATE,' 0:00:00')"
Well, it turned out that if there was a space before the string literal, RTRIM function would trim the matching string plus any '0' characters from the right, including the '000' that belongs to '2000'. Thus, the error.
Thanks again,
Bruce

How to load time only no date using sql loader

I want to load just time portion from the data, the data looks like this
08/10/09 ,FZ10, AD2R, DFHMIRS , 14, 01:12:07.001230, 01:02:07.112354, TRANS PURGED / TIMED OUT ,
control file:

     TRANS_ID          ,

     CPU_TIME          "to_date(:RESPONSE_TIME,'dd/mm/yy HH:MI:SS.ffffff')",
     ABEND_RESOLUTION     ,
     INSTANCE          CONSTANT 'EAST'
I can load the time using the control file but it adds the first of the month as date in the column. I want to load only time value. Appreciate any help on this.

I meant, how are these columns defined in the table that is being loaded?
If these are defined as DATE, then as was pointed out Oracle will default the date portions if they are not provided in the formatted string.
If these are defined as NUMBER (with some fractional portion), then you could use a combination of substr, multiplication and concatenation to derive the time as number in the form <seconds>.<fractional seconds>.
You could also look into the data type INTERVAL DAY TO SECOND.
SQL> create table trans_abends (
2   trans_date date,
3   trans_id char(4),
4   abend_code char(4),
5   abend_pgm char(8),

7   response_time interval day (0) to second (6),
8   cpu_time interval day (0) to second (6)

How to Import data via SQL Loader with characterset UTF16 little endian?

Hello,
I'm importing data from text file into one of my table which contains blob column.
I've specified following in my control file.
-----Control file-------
LOAD DATA
CHARACTERSET UTF16
BYTEORDER LITTLE
INFILE './DataFiles/Data.txt'
BADFILE './Logs/Data.bad'
INTO TABLE temp_blob truncate
FIELDS TERMINATED BY " "
TRAILING NULLCOLS
(GROUP_BLOB,CODE)
Problem:
SQL Loader always importing data via big endian. Is there any method available using which we can convert these data to little endian?
Thanks

A new preference has been added to customize the import delimiter in main code line. This should be available as part of future release.

Export/Import data in SQL Express 2014

Hello,
I have SQL Server 2008 on the network server and 'central' DB. To workaround cases when the network is down I decided to implement 'local' design on all clients. Actually I have 5 clients. I installed SQL Express 2014 on each client and created exact as
'central' empty database on each client.
Now during network outage I'm able to continue collect data and populate it in each of 5 db's.
When the network is up again I have to copy/move collected data from each client to 'central' db. Unfortunately 'central' and 'local' db's are on the different network and can't see each other hence I have to somehow export package from each 'local'
db and then import it into 'central'.
The problem that I hit is that in SQL Express there's not an option to save package i.e. it allow only immediate export which would not work for me.
Do you have an idea how to handle this situation?
Thanks
EV

Hi,
I agree with Ronen and Scott. You can use SQL Server Replication to
copy the data.
Replication is a set of technologies for copying and distributing data and database objects from one database to another and then synchronizing between databases to maintain consistency. Using replication, you can distribute data to different
locations and to remote or mobile users over local and wide area networks, dial-up connections, wireless connections, and the Internet.
Replication processing resumes at the point at which it left off if a connection is dropped.
Please check out the following links for more information about SQL Server Replication:

How can I import data using .dmp into the table which has more columns then in import

I am building the history for warehouse purpose on Oracle 8i database and want to use the old import (.dmp) files (from oracle 7.3.4) to import data but the underlying table is having few more columns which are not in my old DMP file .. how can I import the data into these altered tables while using the same *.imp files .
Any solutions ?

That is the most obvious solution .. but think of the case when my operational database which is the source of my data is undergoing changes every quarter i.e after every 3 months there are some changes on underlying table structures which means structures of my import files will always be different after evry quarter .. you can imagine the number of temporary import structures I need to create .. can't there be a solution wherein I can write an SQL over the import file to read the data in required format ..

can anyone tell me what is problem in above file why data is not loaded in table??

I don't find any problem if you invoke the SQLLDR using the below command(and if you are certain that the control file resides in the C: drive).
sqlldr scott/tiger@genuat control =c:\emp.ctl
If this doesn't work then invoke the SQLLDR from the C: prompt itself.
sqlldr scott/tiger@genuat control=emp.ctl
It would locate the control file and check whether the sqlldr completes successfully?

Hi,
When importing data from relational data source, the steps are:
In SQL Server Data Tools (SSDT), click the Model menu, and then click Import
from Data Source.
On the Connect to a Data Source page, select the type of database to connect to, and then click Next.
Follow the steps in the Table Import Wizard. On subsequent pages, you will be able to select specific tables and views or apply filters by using the Select
Tables and Views page or by creating a SQL query on Specify a SQL Query page.
As we can see on the steps, we need to select one database, so we needn't to write "USE AdventureWorks2012" on the query.
