How to handle ' " '(double quotes) in .csv file during migration

I am facing problem in migrating data from sql server 2000 into oracle via .csv file using sql loader.
1>How should i migrate the string which contains ' " ' (double quotes) characters,
as i am enclosing the string in ' " ' in .ctl file (enclosed by ' " ').
is there any syntax in the control file which can migrate the ' " '(double quotes) as it is as the data in the files is 50000 records .?
Thank you..

Yes this is correct.
but problem will occur when e.g check the foll. string.
(1001,And I quote "This, will work")
Here it is a comm(,) in b/w "This and will".
due to this sqlldr interpret it as end of field. and throws an error.
I had gone through expert one on one oracle, what it maintioned as,
put an extra double quotes( " ) like " " to enclosed the double quoted string.
This works fine. For small data it can be done manually.
But for large data what condition can be put in the ctl file to achieve this?
or is there any other way to achieve this?
Thank you.

Some fields in the CSV file can have double quotes (") inside the values like:
"value1""";value2;value3";value4
When this happens, the adapter reject the file. How can i solve this issue? There is some option to set inside the XSD?
Thank you in advance.
Riccardo

Thank you for your help, but I've already tried with the quotedBy atribute and it doesn't work. The double quote character can occur multiple times inside the single value and it's not representing a delimiter: it's a part of the field value. For me it's not important, it could be ignored, but the problem is that I don't know how, since the adapter fails to read the file rejecting it.

Newline character within double quotes in csv file

I have an external table defined as follows:
CREATE TABLE EXT_MASTER
   (     "SOME_CODE" VARCHAR2(255 BYTE),
     "FAX_NUMBER" VARCHAR2(255 BYTE),
     "WEB_ADDRESS" VARCHAR2(255 BYTE),

          LRTRIM
          MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL
      LOCATION
       ( 'Master.csv'
   REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITED;In my datafile I have newline characters within double quotes. This seems to be illegal using the above definition for the table.
Is there a way to make Oracle ignore newline characters in csv files when they are enclosed in double quotes? Or should I ask my data provider to remove them?

Here is what i got on 10.2.0.3 (don't think it might be different on 9i):

560030 = pin field

Can i export without double quotes in data files?

How can i export without double quotes in data files using dataexport commands in MaxL?

I don't know of any way to do any formatting in a straight export out of Essbase. BSO lets you choose between a columnar vs. free form (really Essbase) format. That lack of formatting includes removing double quotes.
If you're willing to put up with the limitations (and formatting issues) of an MDX extract to a log file, that approach does not put double quotes around member names. The same is true in Report Scripts although I have a vague recollection that you can put in double quotes if you want it -- obviously you do not.
There are limitations to the above two approaches, the biggest being that they they are not as efficient as a true MaxL export. OTOH, you may want only part of a database to get exported out in which case either approach may be more to your needs.
If in fact you do want to do a full export, there are lots of OS-level ways of removing double quotes. Here's a Windows-based approach:

What would life be without hacks like the above? Probably not worth living.

How to replace double quotes with a single quote in a string ?

Hi All:
Can some one tell me how to replace double Quote (") in a string with a single quote (') ? I tried to use REPLACE function, but I couldn;t get it worked.
My example is SELECT REPLACE('STN. "A"', '"', ''') FROM Dual --This one throws an error
Thanks,

Whether it is maybe not the more comfortable way, I like the quoting capabitlity from 10g :

How to handle double click event in a text control

Hi,
   Will u please send me information on handling double click events inside text control and also about locking and unlocking of DB tables for updation.
Regards,
Praba.

Hi Prabhavathi,
Here is how you handle double click events in Textedit control.
1)Create a custom control in screen (say TEXT_CONTROL)
2)In main program,
a) Declarations:
data: obj type ref to cl_gui_custiom_control.
      text type ref to cl_gui_textedit.
b) Create the instance of custom container
c) Create the instance of textedit control.
3)Now to handle double click events , create a local class as follows.
class shail_event definition.
public section.
methods:
handle_doubleclick for event dblclick of cl_gui_textedit .
endclass.
class shail_event implementation.
method handle_doubleclick .
here do the coding for handling the double click.
endmethod.
endclass.
4) Create an instance of the handler class(ie.ZSHAIL_EVENT).Let it be named hand.
5) Define varibles for event.
DATA: i_events TYPE cntl_simple_events,
      wa_events TYPE cntl_simple_event.
SET HANDLER hand->handle_doubleclick for text.
wa_events-eventid = cl_gui_textedit=>event_double_click.
wa_events-appl_event = 'X'. "This is an application event
APPEND wa_events TO i_events.
6)
    CALL METHOD texte->set_registered_events
      EXPORTING
        events                    = i_events
      EXCEPTIONS
        cntl_error                = 1
        cntl_system_error         = 2
        illegal_event_combination = 3
        OTHERS                    = 4.
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
     MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
                WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
    ENDIF.
These are the basic steps needed for handling events in Textedit control.You can go to SE24 and type CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT to find the associated events of the class.
If you want the program, kindly send your mail-id so that I can mail it to you.

Sylendra.

How to export data to multiple csv files?

Hey Scripting Guys,
As stated by the name I'm a novice at scripting. Typically I'm able to resolve most of my scripting challenges by reading through your site or scouring the internet. This challenge I haven't been able to resolve. Please help!!
I'm running a script (posted below) to grab data and export it to a csv file. My challenge is that I want to run the script daily via task manager and have it create a new csv file either daily or weekly. I'm having trouble with the scripting
creating a new csv file. How do I resolve this?
It would be beneficial to append the date to a standard file name, ex. c:\exportedcsv7-11-2014.csv; the next day it would be c:\exportedcsv7-12-2014.csv; and so on.
Thank you in advance to any assistance.
Respectfully,
ScriptingNovice

Thank you for the information and the tip. I took your advice and did some research on Strings, something that I do have trouble grasping. I'm familiar with variables already and feel comfortable using them. I also need to study .Net which
I totally don't understand.
Since I appreciate your advice and guidance I'd like to know if I'm on the correct track. Please look at my breakdown to see if I'm explaining it correctly.
$d=Get-Date
Here a variable is being created using the Get-Date cmdlet, if we execute $d the date will appear
$d.ToString('dd-MM-yyyy')
This converts the date into the format dd-MM-yyyy.
I took the information and tips you provided then came up with this after reading about strings.
export-csv -notype "c:\folder\vmds_$($d.ToString('MM-dd-yyyy')).csv"
The double quotes evaluate the variables. The single quotes do not evaluate anything they just show what's inside of them (a.k.a. literal string). The $() evaluate the expression in ('MM-dd-yyyy') before writing it.
You are correct I definitely need to strengthen the foundation of my basics. Thank you for the direction and advice.
